So I've only used this pressure washer one time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
The sun can be an issue if you when you wash your vehicle outside while the sun’s heat is at its maximum but it can also be the calcium content of the water you use and it depends on the city’s water treatment.

I always take Joshs advice. He literally encouraged me start my business a few years back by his realistic process for detailing cars. Stay awesome brother!
I agree...but he always changes his mind. One video he'll say something is his favorite and then a couple videos later he'll pull out a different brand or different method and say something different is his favorite.
Great to see that you are aware of the other TH-cam videos that may contradict your suggestions. Your explanation of why prewashing can be good or bad is spot-on.
Awesome tips and technique, unfortunately for me being almost 60 years old and a disabled veteran I definitely don’t have speed on my side lol, I just need to invest in a spotless system, thanks Josh 👍😁
Could you do a video about drying aid please? What it is? What product is good? And if it’s necessary if you already have di water and if you don’t have di water?
Good suggestion @HookandLateral I’d be interested to see some of the dedicated products that are marketed as drying aids like OG and Koch Chemie; I’m sure there are others.
I use the exact same electric blower to dry my full size truck (pain in the to detail) A trick I learned was to hold the blower upside down, and use the same force of the blower to actually hold it up. You may have to tweek where on the handle you hold it, but when you get it right almost seems like the blower is floating and you control the position by just moving your arm. It’s saved me from having to carry the whole weight of the blower. Works wonders when drying the roof of the truck, I literally hold the blower over my head. Great videos 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a pro air drier with an air squeegee tip . It blows all the water off and leaves an absolute mirror finish but it does take some time. The key is that periodically I use bead up to put a mirror finish seal on the paint job and I do this to the wheels too. The pro dryer is perfect for the wheels and does a perfect job of getting it all off. I do this every two months or so, so the finish is truly a mirror finish. I should add both my Tesla"s are ceramic coated. Once you have the mirror finish the water droplets will literally run off once the powerful air squeegee gets near those droplets.
Josh, have you ever ran a final rinse with just a gallon of bottled distilled water? Keep a gallon in a powered sprayer and spray it down after rinsing with the pressure washer. You just need a light coat or mist. Then dry it.
Great tutorial Josh! Ive ordered a few of the products you’ve recommended including pressure washer. Now that i can turn the outside water spicket on. Winter here in RI its off all winter.
Thanks! Yes I forget how extreme weather can be in the winter. People have asked me to do videos about removing salt and other things like that, but I have no experience with it
Pan did a similar pre-rinse yea/nay a couple of years ago to the same end determining that it didn't really matter either way which was surprising in and of itself. I do remember that the study vehicle was black. I think for the sake of efficiency skipping the pre-rinse is the way to go since it often doesn't really matter. If your customer is the type of jerk that brings you a vehicle still dripping mud...well...then I guess you might need to knock off the bigger chunks first. I'm toying with adding a step where a customer would pass through an auto-wash for 12 bucks before hitting my shop. Maybe give the customer a break on the overall cost of the detail if they have to pay for a wash first...maybe not.
What are you using for the wheels and tires to get all the iron and dirt off and not even have to scrub? I am a DYI guy and I am brushing my wheels and tires. And I am never able to get the red off the tires... Be nice if I didn't have to mess with the tires... And will using a product like this mess with the pro ceramic coating I have on the rims?
Dude you are the most real auto detailing U tuber I've watched Ever good info fast clear speaking, your not into how to make more money faster your into how to do a good job and give the customer their money's worth, THANK YOU 👍💯 MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH ✌️
good video, only one question at 8:07 , you are going vertical from top to down using same mf towel and then bringing it back top, would it not have been better to use another mf towel for the lower section of the car? if you drag same towel up n down... that might just push the residual dirt to top and induce scratches.
Yes, the hot sun is an enemy of the professional detailer as well as the novice. Your step by step instructions on how to overcome this problem is well thought out. Great info tutorial. we all learned great advice from your video. Thanks
I’d like to take a second and ask some questions. You mentioned forensic detail and the 5 min soak and how you can’t do that because of sun. He had sun in the blue GTI video and still let it soak? Is it because he uses no PH Neutral soaps? Built Hamber that he uses has a rating of 13-14 and melts the dirt off. What is the balance in your soaps? Things to consider I guess! I watch tons of your videos, his vids, detail geeks, and chem-x and everyone’s got different ideas based on the soaps they use or offer.
My municipal water is very hard with lots of minerals. So this video “hits the spot” and helps provide the necessary details to help deal with very hard water. Great suggestions. I’ve been using a blower to dry my vehicle and it helps. Spotting has been an issue in the past but since I got a pressure washer and foam cannon my wash process is faster and the spotting is much less of an issue. In Josh We Trust 😉
I follow your channel, thank you very much for all the valuable information you give us. You could talk about high pressure hose reels. I bought one on amazon and it didn't work.
I think you may have found another way to rate soaps. If they can be used in direct sunlight without damaging the paint. I also think there might be a geographic climate component. Keep up the great work. Your videos keep improving!
Josh, I just wanted to say thank your for the videos. I subscribed to your channel a while ago and have just learned so much. You have been a huge help. Rock on!
Hey David I just did a video about DI water and spoke about soft water systems. They might reduce some of the TDS in the water, but will still have them and you can still get water spots. However, I would think that a soft water system will make it easier to not get water spots using this process!
Do you prefer to detail with technicians choice after you dry or to wash, soap, rinse, detail spray, rinse, dry, quick final wipe with detail spray? I feel like doing it at the end would do help save the product and apply heavier
Also-also for concerns regarding your drying towel getting impregnated with a drying aid simply use a smaller towel and dunk them in a bucket of rinseless wash for a few minutes as soon as you're done. This prevents those bonds from forming and essentially allows you to wash the product off cleanly when you next do a load of towels. You can thank Yvan Lacroix for that little gem. My towel replacement costs have shrunk dramatically since I stopped pitching towels after every car which means more money in my pocket.
Stupid question..... can a person use a little 'Jet Dry' anti spotting dishwasher solution in their rinse spray somehow to eliminate water spotting when rinsing? It works in the dishwasher....
Yo, real talk, how do you use DI water in a cost effective manner? That's the real question. When even expensive units only bring it down to $1 a gallon, what's your secret?
Hi Josh! I just bought a TDS Meter to test my water and it averages around 700ppm which is terrible. In a case like mine, a DI system would not be very economical since I would have to change resin very frequently. Do you have any alternate solutions for someone like myself with super high PPM? I know I could do rinseless, but I enjoy using the pressure washer and stuff. Thanks!
I tell you how I do it get yourself a 5 bucket get a bunch of microfiber washcloths fill that bucket loosely to the top Philip bucket up with one gallon of water just enough to soak up the water no soap required just wipe the dirt completely off repeat with one rag until it's completely dirty do that at least three times I would recommend using distilled water by the fourth time of wiping it you should get no dirt left on your rag then after that you take a damp buffer and get any remaining dirt off
Curious why it seems like the detailing community doesn't show any love to the absorber, or similar synthetic chamois? I keep one in each of my vehicles and always use it to dry my cars off. It's also great to have in the car incase of any kind of spill in the car.
I notice you use a pressure washer. How much pressure is safe for washing cars. I don't want to damage my car or blow door seals or adhesive mounted trim off or anything. My pressure washer is 3000 psi.
A simple trick I use is I have bottle water fountain size aka costco bottle of deionized water and use the Ryobi battery power 600 psi unit to rinse it off
Good video. I will give that a try. HOWEVER, I live in Phoenix AZ and when it is extremely low humidity and 100+ degrees IN THE SHADE in the evening during the late spring, summer and early fall, it will definitely present a huge challenge for spots!
Josh informative video, what dedicated wheel cleaner do you use? When using Technician Choice do you use the product as it was delivered or do you dilute this product? How about when you use this product when doing interiors? Lastly what do you use for tire dressing? Thnkx
Any tips for using this method when you have a full size roof rack like a prinsu? Water gets in all the crevices and channels and always drip water. Awesome content as well bro
Do you think having like a backpack electric sprayer with deionized water to do a final rinse Could be a alternative for someone just starting mobile detailing?
@@imjoshv i did the first time, and got spots. Last time i tried showstoppers in Santee. It’s closer. Same thing. Water spots in paint and trim. Windows. Everywhere
@@imjoshv just watched your video on the snow foam review. Going to try the gold class. Watch all your videos. They are a true help. Thanks for the quick reply. That’s very rare on TH-cam.

Taking a lot of extra time to finish a car with this issue
Can you do a video on good and bad experiences that you had in the past and how you would avoid future bad experiences? I am a DIYer, but I'm just curious.
Can you just rinse the car thoroughly with deionized water and let it air dry in a garage? By moving the vehicle to a dust free place to dry will that eliminate water spots after using deionized water? If you have that option.
I'm kind of lucky I have an RODI system that I use for my fish tank. I use that water to rinse my car off at the end. I still dry it off just in case I didn't rinse off all the tap water, but it's so nice knowing that if I don't dry it off in time, no big deal.
Hey Josh, a great series of videos on spot free finish. You have shown some that work and others that are ok. As always very informative and a good teaching aid for the novice and experienced. Great job 👏
I've been using the Technicians Choice after washing the truck as you recommended, I can not believe how awesome this works and what a shine and smooth the truck feels to the touch. Thanks Josh
Hey Josh, I am fairly new to your channel and really like it. I noticed in this video and some others that you start the contact wash with the foam on the vehicle. I thought the foam had to be washed off to remove the encapsulated dirt then go to the contact wash. Can you go tell me how that process works for you? If you have a video on it I am happy to check it out.
What is the cause when my pressure washer goes into a constant priming mode? Example: when i press the trigger it will not give any power and when off the trigger it will sound like it is priming the line. Is something not keeping up?
Such a great job ! i wont do it as it rains often in the northeast and then its messed up with dirt from the roads. but I'll do 1/2 as good and good enough. Thanks for the detail on how to do it right though and nice to know these tips from a pro ! I need one of those big towels that will make a big difference.
Well now I know why my wooly doesn’t dry that well. I did use a drying aid that had the chemicals you mentioned. Thank you for the video and your expertise!
Have you used any ceramic hydrophobic solutions that you spray out of your foam cannon after you do the rinse after the contact wash? Are there any you recommend?

Pressure washer 1100 psi and leaf blower 175 Mph ?
Add a cap full of jet dry to your soap bucket.
I'm going to try that, it makes perfect sense unless there's some bad point about it?

Great advice! I'm a senior (who moves like molasses on a winter day) 😂🤣 but thats EXACTLY what I do! Its jst common sense. Thanks!
I like to dry using only a leaf blower. Good results and touchless.
Great Video Josh TY. My question is do you wash your microfiber towels afterwards or just rinse and hang dry? TY
I was wondering the exact same thing
Depends how dirty they are.
Have you thought about making a drying aid test like you did for the towels? I think that'd be interesting
Good suggestion @HookandLateral I’d be interested to see some of the dedicated products that are marketed as drying aids like OG and Koch Chemie; I’m sure there are others.
Can you use air from a compressor to dry the car? Or is that not a good idea.

When I think wanting to have a spot free wash that means I don't have to drive the car. Your technique was good as my father taught if that way.

Can I use it when car is still wet as a drying agent and will it prevent water spots if use as drying agent ?
