Exactly! Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed but he drove me nuts. Seriously I’m was talking to the screen lol “no no no what are you doing? Follow the shape!” lol simple straight wipes and he’s all over the place. Hopefully he practiced and practiced and got it right by now. And instructor was too busy answering questions and didn’t stop him from taking his own wiping paths at times. Very informative video though. I certainly got a lot out of it. 👍
Awesome sharing on Waterless Car Wash! Very informative. Very clear and concise explanation. I like the way how he explained about "compromise". That was perfect.
Why would this be waterless if there is a bucket full of water and product ;)? What about these spray products that you spray on the car and wipe directly?
Thanks Tom for the video coverage, missed the signup to attend. I've had my car paint protection done at definitive car detailing when I got my Tesla Model 3, top service.
The only change I would recommend is to first take a spray bottle, fill it with solution from the bucket and spray the panel first. This will start lifting the dirt and also offer more lubrication for the towels.
@@LudicrousFeed a great channel and amazing work. I just bought a model 3 and your videos have been so helpful and informative, esp the charging! If yr ever in melbourne one day.. give us a heads up!
Would be nice if using a red/blue/black car for a demo. White just by default covering up things like defects and swirl marks unfortunately for this occasion.
We have a red and blue car which I will use for my own demo/tutorial based on what I learned from this workshop once I get the hang of the technique 👍🙂
Wow! 5-6 minutes? I wash my car by hand, with distilled water. And it takes me 3 hours, including inside and outside. Twice a month. I use the yellow towels from Costco as well, take good care of the towels as well. I first spray it with distilled water and then I start the two bucket, that is actually 3 buckets method. One with the special soap and special mit, and two with clean water and two microfiber towels, then I use a clean dry towel. I do it in my garage and use a wall mounted vacuum.
I recommend Wash Wax All. It is like you spray it and then gently wipe it off. I am using it with my Model 3 and it is good. I’ll try Optimum as Frank recommended too.
Many thanks to the three of you for replying to advise of the three different rinseless wash products. I've just ordered from Amzon.com.au . I look forward to trying this product which will be much easier for me with no access to a hose.
Great question Brian I’d suggest spraying with water first to get most of the coarse sediment off the car first before attempting this technique. Frank will be joining us on one of our live streams so stay tuned!
I like microfiber cloths but they are difficult to wash themselves due to dirt trappings. Wonder how the detailer cleans the cloths at the end of day. The purists throw the cloths away but it’s wasteful imho.
I think Frank mentioned washing them in the washing machine after each use. The yellow ones in this video are from Costco $38 for 36 - links in description
@@LudicrousFeed I tried the method it works amazingly. But I found some striking marks on glasses and Windows. How can I do things differently to avoid those?
As Frank said to us, it does take practice and eventually you’ll be able to get it down to 5 minutes each time no matter what skill level you start from ☺️ I actually thought our volunteer was a quick learner and the result spoke for itself at the end 👍
Regardless of how effective the chemical is, this method will eventually end up creating swirl marks. This method is not ideal for working on dirty cars.
From my understanding of today’s workshop, the idea is to soften caked on dirt/mud etc as much as possible. If it really is that dirty, then a good rinse prior may be required
He does say @ 17:30 a full hose down wash would be better. I understand this is an alternative / complementing method which saves time and water. Many city dwellers simply do not have access to a watering hose.
WOW, I have never washed a car in 55 years, never. Got our M3 LR AWD in RED SDF with Performance Boost in early Dec 2020 and will never do it. People it is just a car.We have 5 cars and they have never been washed ever. They get detailed the week they are sold, not by us. Realy.
Not sure where you live but upstate NY winters and roads beat up the car. Unless you drive on perfect roads, in perfect environments, washing is needed. IMO. I appreciate this. I like my m3 shiny & clean when I can. Driving it can damage paint. So why not enjoy the shine🙂

The spider that was on the white ones bonnet was happy it was blurred out at least
Whoever thought a video about the basics of washing a car could be so informative.
Thanks Tom.
Many thanks to Frank from Definitive Car Detailing who kept us informed and engaged throughout the session
Trying to understand why you use a grit guard if you're not putting any dirty cloths back in the water?
It never ceases to imaze me how people dont listen or cant follow basic instruction. Yes Mr Red Cap I am looking at you

Very informative…..I will def change how I’m washing my M3P. I could watch n listen to this guy for hours 😉
Frank is awesome

even his shirt is microfibre! what a great video! thank you!!
Microfibre for the win!
Thanks Tom for the video coverage, missed the signup to attend. I've had my car paint protection done at definitive car detailing when I got my Tesla Model 3, top service.
Great to hear you got good service!
Wow I really learnt a lot! Thanks Frank!
I know most people won’t notice so I have to say .. kudos for the audio in this video Tom! Did you mic both speakers? Very informative too :)
Thanks Dylan! I used just the one
Rode Wireless Go mic today but it’s strong enough to pick up other speakers in close proximity 🙂🎙
@@LudicrousFeed perfect. I love the rode go too. So much better than a full lav setup.
Now I have to wash my model 3 today after this.
I went home and washed both cars! 😅
This is great, thank you. Looking forward to getting practice on this soon, waiting on delivery.
👍🙂
Thanks mate Always look forward to your Video's Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
Thanks for the vid. Always wanted to see it done.
👍🙂
This is brilliant!
👍
I thought the Indian guy in cap is working for him lol. It’s his car 😳
Wow great technique thanks for this video. I live in an apartment and this would be so useful and save me money
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, it is a very good technique for those living in apartments 🙂👍
The only change I would recommend is to first take a spray bottle, fill it with solution from the bucket and spray the panel first. This will start lifting the dirt and also offer more lubrication for the towels.
Great technique. Can this technique be applied to my M3 that has ceramic coating already?
I believe so John. Even with PPF
Great video!
Thank you!
@@LudicrousFeed a great channel and amazing work. I just bought a model 3 and your videos have been so helpful and informative, esp the charging! If yr ever in melbourne one day.. give us a heads up!
@@michaeltan4895 Thank you, I’m glad you’ve found the videos helpful 🙏
Enjoy the car!
Seems like the quickest way to wash your Tesla is to hold a car washing demo, and let the audience members "practice" car washing your car haha
Haha, quite the elaborate setup 😜
😂 hahahhahahahhaa I love this idea !!
Would be nice if using a red/blue/black car for a demo. White just by default covering up things like defects and swirl marks unfortunately for this occasion.
We have a red and blue car which I will use for my own demo/tutorial based on what I learned from this workshop once I get the hang of the technique 👍🙂
Did you do?
Did you do the red or blue car? Looks great so far!

That’s a thorough clean ❤️
I want to try this. Can anyone recommend any brands of rinseless wash solution? Thanks Tom for a great video.
FeynLab pure rinseless is what was used in this workshop by Frank
Glad you enjoyed it! Frank also recommended Optimum
I recommend Wash Wax All. It is like you spray it and then gently wipe it off. I am using it with my Model 3 and it is good. I’ll try Optimum as Frank recommended too.

We live on a dirt road and get fine red dust on our car driving home. Is this method safe on a car covered in fine dust?
Great question Brian
I’d suggest spraying with water first to get most of the coarse sediment off the car first before attempting this technique. Frank will be joining us on one of our live streams so stay tuned!

I think Frank mentioned washing them in the washing machine after each use. The yellow ones in this video are from Costco $38 for 36 - links in description
@@LudicrousFeed The best thing you can do is to soak the used towels in water for a period before washing them to help remove more of the solution.
How do we use the ultra fine microfiber towels you suggest in the links?
I will be doing another Tesla Model 3 car wash video soon and I’ll encompass the finer glass towels - stay tuned!
Did you do another video for glsss towels and a demo?
Awesome video! Do you recommend using a pump sprayer first applying wet towels?
If the car is fairly dirty beforehand then I will give the whole car a once over with the hose
@@LudicrousFeed I do not have a pump sprayer, any recommendations with brand?
Do you think i should get or the above method in video is sufficient?
Try the method shown in the video first
@@LudicrousFeed I tried the method it works amazingly. But I found some striking marks on glasses and Windows. How can I do things differently to avoid those?
@@dhruvarora2 You need to get glass cloths
Very cool!!!!
I know right!
Do you have to rewet at the end or only when you see it streak ?
Repeat as often as you feel necessary ie. Titrate to dirt levels
why blur the faces?
Lol the audience volunteer as listening problems. didn't do anything the guy said to do right.
If you are only using 1 bucket and the dirty microfiber cloths don't go back in the water, why do you need a grit guard?
It’s good practice to minimise contaminants hence the grit guard
20:50 flashbacks to Karate Kid
I was thinking the same thing at the time!
Like the noisy smelly oil burning Harley in the back ground........probably part of Frank's work / life balance 😉
I think that may be a customer’s 😉
Excellent presentation, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
don't hire the guy in the red hat to be your detailer :)
To be fair, it’s his first day 😉💪
Plus that’s his car 🚗
Looks like an efficient technique to use, maybe next time grab someone else to have a go at it! That guy was terrible. 😔
As Frank said to us, it does take practice and eventually you’ll be able to get it down to 5 minutes each time no matter what skill level you start from ☺️

Between working 50 hours a week to pay for my house, Tesla, food, insurance and utilities NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THIS CRAP!
Busy busy

You are soo much smarter than the rest of us.
Someone actually raised that point ... if you don’t wash it at all, the paint will never be damaged 😱 Touché I say 😉

Nice
Great video but what kind of pruducts are being used? Please share some info about that or links :)
Products used/mentioned now listed in video description, thanks 🙂👍
@@LudicrousFeed thanks! The Optimum (NR2010Q) is the same as the feynlab?
They’re different products ⚖️
@@LudicrousFeed yeah sorry, I mean; they do the same right?
Yup, they’re both rinseless 👍
