I'm a weekend warrior who has been watching TH-cam and learning through forums for almost 10 years now. I've been paid to do family, friends and coworkers cars. I'm no pro but I'm pretty darn good. What I like about your channel so much is that it refreshes my memory on all the little things, tips I've forgotten and so on. Not to mention the constant talking is actually entertaining and engaging. You and the junkman2000 are by far the best teachers on TH-cam for detailing, not to mention you're not arrogant about it. (Weird I know, some detailing teachers can be that way). I need a refresher on washing techniques. Our cars are daily drivers, and while I know how to correct the paint, I still get swirls from time to time. There ya go, another video for ya!
thank you so much..what a kind thing to say!..i try not to allow my ego into the videos,in fact I'm doing my best to release my ego from all areas of my life:)...love is the answer my brother...but yes i can make a video on how i try to limit swirls when washing a car..thanks for the idea and i love having you on the channel:)
Driveway Reflections Detail I agree , he is one the best along with The Junkman and Larry Kossila of AMMONYC, These guys are great and we certainly appreciate the wealth of knowledge and experience they share on TH-cam. I look forward to their vids all the time
My sister used to own a self service carwash in Dallas ( actually suburb) I just remember that she always had quarters. She passed away a few years back and I just remember that from your video. Thanks Scott for all the help.
I had this exact thought the other day when I washing my car. A woman beside me grabbed the wash "brush" and started going at her X3. I ran over and suggested she NOT do that as someone may have just run that over their muddy truck tires. She said ok thanks and started going at the panels with the brush lol. I just smiled and walked away, then thought yup great place to pick up business as one also have their beautiful clean vehicle. That's a pro detailers' business card right there!
@@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343 probably where you are located.... In my area Orange County, CA it's regulated. They want people to spend the money there on their products not bring their own
Yep around me too in Florida, they have them posted "No Bucket Washing Allowed" and the rest of the car washes around me are those car chewing automated monsters that my truck will NEVER see.
Hey, Scott, You are so right about the car wash. I was doing my car one day & I saw this guy with his hood up. Asked him what he was doing & he said he was cleaning his engine bay. He was kind enough to explain it to me & the next time I was at the car wash I did my first engine bay ever! So proud of myself. He also was using some kind of spray as he was drying his car, so I asked him about that too. Since then, I have really gotten into this detailing situation. Now O’Reilly’s auto parts store personnel & people passing by me in my driveway are asking me if I am going into the detailing business. I have learned so much from you, but it takes me all day just to do the inside of the car. Hopefully, as I get the car cleaner, it will not take me so long. An “old dog can always learn new tricks” if one is willing. Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!
:) I do the same. I'll go during my lunch break from my regular 9-5 job. The blower don't work so well, so I'll hop on the freeway and air dry it, and back to work to touch up any spots.
I use to take my convertible to the CarWash. Put my detailing stuff in the trunk. After washing the car pull off to the side and start detailing it. People stopped and ask me how I keep it so clean. I tell them that's what I do on the side is car detailing. They ask all kinds of questions. I get more business than I can handle. That way too. Sadly someone backed into my convertible and totalled it out. The car was in such good shape I got $4295.00 for it. Held out. They tried to jip me. No way! Shawn
Great tip Scott. That wouldn’t have crossed my mind and I especially like the tip about using distilled water for getting the most from your car soap . 👍🏼 Why don’t you towel your car and door jambs before you leave the car wash? I towel off my truck, door jambs and glass before I leave. If I’m not in a hurry I’ll use glass cleaner either outside or in and out too. Then I’ll go home and fine tune it inside and out, chrome, wheels, interior etc. Keep up the great videos.
Man I swear I’ve doing this for 6 months before watching your video for the reason of being in the shadow, and I even bring my pressure washer and do a foam cannon wash and then my 1 bucket with onr and distilled water and everybody stares at me but no MF comes and ask lol
Distilled water from home, do you make it or buy it? Is it distilled or filtered? Distilled requires time and energy costs, but can you do just as well with filtering your water, especially for a mobile setup?
Scott I love all these out side the box things you do and think of it's great thank you for sharing them I love all your videos keep em coming your a HUGE HUGE HELP THANK YOU
Thanks for the video. I have at home a water softener with a hose big hooked to the soft water, is distilled similar to "soft" water. I wash usually early in the morning or late afternoon when my house shades the driveway. I have always washed the wheels last, now I know to wash them first. Love your videos.
That sounds great but when ive been out of town and had to use one of these car washes instead of washing my car at home, I have never in my life been to one that didn't have signage up saying "NO HAND WASHING or DETAILING"!! But I have been in line right behind some jackwagon who decided to ignore the signage and take 20 mins - 1/2 hr to handwash their car while myself and 6 other people were waiting inline behind them!!!
Good customer relations and environmentally safe! It's also a nice change of pace getting away from home where you can just focus exclusively on the car!
Scott...I have learned so MUCH from you! Thanks for doing what you do! One question. Does the wheel brightener remove any waxes or sealants LOVE your Lexus by the way! So jealous! You deserve it because you work so HARD!
yes it could break down a wax or sealant on the wheel...but here is something to remember, if you use any wheel cleaner and a brush like ezdetail or any brush to agitate the wheel to remove brake dust you will be removing some waxes and sealants from the wheel because of friction..because i clean my wheels almost weekly i just apply a high quality spray wax to my wheels every time i clean them and i get great results..but do what works best for you and makes you happy:)...thanks for the comment and i love you on the channel Robert
If someone is behind you waiting they will want you to move it along .Thats how it is where I live.Also,theres a timer n the wash gun so you have to move very fast or dump alot of coin into it.
Scott what is your favourite soap? Mine is one that is from a local Australian brand called 'Bowdens Own' the wash is called 'Nanolicious' it's by far the slickest car soap I've ever tried. It's fantastic.
Great information!!! Will have to try this in my different areas. Some car washes don't like you to hand was the car? They feel they are losing money and backs up the customers.
yups, haha can't imagin how many customers I got from carwash-spots. When finding one close to dealerships, you might get lucky to even find dealerships to contact you to do their cars for them at the carwash...that's actually how i started at Mercedes ;-)
Scott, were you using the ONR? because I been using just regular car soap. I was thinking if I did it this way I would still need to rinse the car before then wash it then blow dry it. unfortunately I havent seen any blow dryers at the car washes were I live. I really like your tip on how to get customers and I think I will try the wheel brighter as well.Once again Awesome video Scott.
Haha! I have some work to do on a IS350 this Monday :) And I was at the Montreal Cars and Coffee 9 last week. It's like my aura is connected to your channel! Scott, you rock... :D
Hey Scott! So I did the Lexus yesterday and I noticed the rims were stained on arrival. Looks like dark drips that do not come off. if you search google images of "f-sport rim stains" you'll see what I'm talking about. Do you know what causes that!?!?! I suspect it's acidic wheel cleaner from a previous job.
hmmm..the rims should be clear coated correct?..if it was a chemical stain perhaps from a wheel cleaner left to dry on rim from the past, you should be able to remove with a compound..how did you try to remove the stains?...unless what looks like stains is actually clear coat failure, not much can be done except for someone to reface the wheel...let me know and thanks for your support
They are clear coated. The clear is smooth and looks fine, that's why I assumed an aggressive chemical cleaner might be the culprit. I told the client I wouldn't try anything to "correct" the issue until I get some more info, so I just cleaned them with regular car soap. He didn't seem too worried about the rims, just wanted me to get swirls out from the last 20 times at a $5.99 hand wash place... errhh!
Watching your videos has made me realize that something I really enjoy doing can be so much more. I also have become much better at it because of your help. I also have started using the professional products for the simple reason they last me alot longer and do great job.. Thanks so much..
"Hi Scott I have a question what is the best retail car soap to use ? I' ve been using turtle wax zip wax ever since i bought it , do you think it's a good enough car soap??...
ran into a problem and figured you might be able to help. so today I was detailing a family members vehicle for money, well I rinsed of the truck really good with a 3100 psi power washer, then i went straight to the wash part and for that I used Mr pink in a foam cannon and covered the truck heavily with soap, I then rinsed the truck off really good and then pulled it into a garage to dry it, once it dried there was a light grey dust left on the vehicle. could washing it in the sun on an 82° day cause that?
hmmm..how long did you leave the soap on the truck before rinsing it off?...what drying method did you use?...i have never used Mr Pink from chemical guys...look forward to your response...thanks for the comment Kamren
I left the soap sit on for about a minute and a half and then rinsed it all off after washing it thoroughly. I then pulled it into my garage and used a car squeegee and a waffle weave trying towel. I think my mistake was letting the truck heat up in the sun for a little bit and then doing the entire rinse and wash in the direct sun. so I'm thinking the soap evaporated some before I got it all rinsed off.
my waffle weave is like a tan color. and I rinse and store my squeegee in a plastic case every time after I use it. As I was drying the little bit of water th at was left it came off and left a grey like dust on my drying towel. and I then had to get the rest of the grey looming film/dust stuff off with detailer and a microfiber.
wow..thats crazy..i can't imagine the soap or doing it in the sun since you rinsed the soap off rather quickly after applying...hmmm..did you have a wax or sealant on the paint before washing the vehicle?..im puzzled:)
Hi Scott, dumb question time haha, every time I drive to car wash places and I can’t seem to clean my wheels properly because it’s too hot any suggestions?
You're professional really. Lots of interesting ideas and ways to deal with the problem. I appreciate that, especial your atitute with rinseless wash. who cares the scrathes if we are going to polish the car.That's great.
It’s good to get reassurance that I’m doing the right thing. I take my own stuff to the local car wash too. I only wish my local charged $1.25. I’m paying $1.75 for a four minute cycle.
I was wondering how do you determine how much to charge for a job....I have people who want me to do their vehicles but I never know how much to charge or what would be a fair price as it were....I mean I don't want to cheat myself but I also don't want to overcharge people...
There is that white car that one person said is his only customer. LOL it is Scotts car. As always Scott, great info and a great vid. Keep up the good work.
This is impossible in California. The A-holes here don't allow buckets to be brought :( . I wish I could, i'd be so stoked to do this each, and every time.
Father & Sons Mobile Detailing Houston Fisher you could but it is way faster using a microfiber towel because it is a spray wax. Spray waxes do not last as long as a liquid or paste wax so you don't need to overthink it 👍🏽
Scott how do you guys do it , so exhausting - my brother and I did a detail today on a ram - we did wash / clay/ da polish / wax and I'm so exhausted .....ugh
Great video and tips... I have to admit though.... I was really waiting and anticipating you showing us on camera... Not that I don't know how or can't just imagine it but I was hoping for one reason or another to see you do the work you're talking about haha
Why not just have a water softener system installed at your home with a dedicated outlet for car washing? I do. Sure it's expensive to have installed, but your entire household, and family, benefits and enjoys the soft water. For watering your lawn, you make sure those faucets and sprinkler connections are hard water. Over the years, it pays for itself.
Haha I had that same biz card design a few years back...from Vistaprint. Not sure I agree with this idea though. Your biz is your biz but if the carwash owner is ok then rock on
I have never been to a place that maintains their soft water (spotless) final rinse systems. It is just a meaningless icon to make you feel better. All that is moot if you have an awesome BLOW DRYER. I have never seen that in my area..ever. I use a giant leaf blower for my car.

good used one lexus ?
When I go to the car wash someone tries to sell me a watch or stereo speakers.
Never ever seen a drying gun at any cash wash in Florida period. Pretty cool!
As far as micro fiber towels. If you go to TJ Maxx and look in the clearance, they always have microfiber dish towels (16"x19") on sale 4 for $3.
Would you consider using the spot free rinse and air dryer after a rinseless wash?
Best auto detail channel PERIOD!
Excellent use of a carwash and a shrewd way to gain customers! I will be stealing this idea! (Also like the cars and coffee idea as well)!
Great video Scott plus great free marketing advice!!!
How can you wash your car with one mitt. You always tell us to use at least 4 for each quarter car please explain Rick
Man! $1.25...that was definitely 4 years ago...🤣😂
Now it’s $1.75 lol
If someone is behind you waiting they will want you to move it along .Thats how it is where I live.Also,theres a timer n the wash gun so you have to move very fast or dump alot of coin into it.
Great channel, binge watching and informative. Any chance you are related to Steve from Florida (Howard Stern Show character)?
You are an absolute Genius I would have never thought of this
Another great idea thanks man!
Great video Scott and thanks for the advice! There are plenty of car washes in my area and I will try and take advantage of this!

Did you get alot of customers from the car wash.
Where I live the car washes like the one your at do not allow you to bucket wash they have signs posted saying no bucket washing allowed

Using ONR is simple, pressure wash to rinse the vehicle. ONR wash the vehicle. Dry the vehicle with a drying towel. DONE
Good video i have done the same thing when i go to the car wash. Bring my own. Chemicals with me and people ask me what I'm useing.
I was wondering how did you find out distill water works best with the car shampoos?
Many of the car washes around me have signs prohibiting bucket washing.
Great ideas! Just picked up a gallon of Super clean at your reccomendation and can't wait to try it this weekend :)

ran into a problem and figured you might be able to help. so today I was detailing a family members vehicle for money, well I rinsed of the truck really good with a 3100 psi power washer, then i went straight to the wash part and for that I used Mr pink in a foam cannon and covered the truck heavily with soap, I then rinsed the truck off really good and then pulled it into a garage to dry it, once it dried there was a light grey dust left on the vehicle. could washing it in the sun on an 82° day cause that?
hmmm..how long did you leave the soap on the truck before rinsing it off?...what drying method did you use?...i have never used Mr Pink from chemical guys...look forward to your response...thanks for the comment Kamren
I left the soap sit on for about a minute and a half and then rinsed it all off after washing it thoroughly. I then pulled it into my garage and used a car squeegee and a waffle weave trying towel. I think my mistake was letting the truck heat up in the sun for a little bit and then doing the entire rinse and wash in the direct sun. so I'm thinking the soap evaporated some before I got it all rinsed off.
is your waffle weave towel colored grey?...how do you store your squeegee and could it have had dust all over it??
my waffle weave is like a tan color. and I rinse and store my squeegee in a plastic case every time after I use it.

Great Tips! Thanks for sharing your experience.

You're professional really. Lots of interesting ideas and ways to deal with the problem. I appreciate that, especial your atitute with rinseless wash. who cares the scrathes if we are going to polish the car.That's great.

Excellent tips of the trade.
It’s good to get reassurance that I’m doing the right thing. I take my own stuff to the local car wash too. I only wish my local charged $1.25. I’m paying $1.75 for a four minute cycle.
It's three dollars where I live... I'm not even in California
Car washes in my area won't allow this. You are only allowed to you what the car wash has. They do allow you to dry them but that's it.
I was wondering how do you determine how much to charge for a job....I have people who want me to do their vehicles but I never know how much to charge or what would be a fair price as it were....I mean I don't want to cheat myself but I also don't want to overcharge people...

you like that Erik:)...it works and try to find ways to talk to others at the car wash!..much love my brother
This is impossible in California. The A-holes here don't allow buckets to be brought :( . I wish I could, i'd be so stoked to do this each, and every time.
I live in Los Angeles and the wash place i go to doesn’t care at all
And I'm sorry I forgot to mention you're awesome.
I have my business cards and thanks. I’m going to start doing this every now and then
Excellent God bless you!

Hello Scott another Great video... Question can you use the X Wax on a soft pad on a DA polisher? Thanks in advance

Where in Dallas is this car wash??
Can you make a video showing us how you do this?
Why not just have a water softener system installed at your home with a dedicated outlet for car washing? I do.

where is a good source to get your distilled water for cheap and it bulk?
Dehumidifer water
I'd like to do this but the coin washes here don't allow you to bring buckets of your own and are under cctv surveillance so makes it harder
i have heard that from others as well:(
Haha
I had that same biz card design a few years back...from Vistaprint.
Not sure I agree with this idea though. Your biz is your biz but if the carwash owner is ok then rock on
Isn't life awesome...
You don't have to agree:)
Much love Scott!!!
Hi your videos are very good do you have any videos or video how to dilute products people like me SORRY don't understand .Thanks
Daniel Hagerty most products will tell you how to dilute in the instructions on the bottle
Scott Where is this car wash located at ?
In every town surrounding Dallas.
They are all over the place
That was some good information.
I drop it in second and goto 75 on i35e and awesome drying machine
yes that will work as well:)
I must confess I have 5 mitts.but usually only use 2.body first..wheels 2nd.cracked me up 10 mitts.
hey i like the concept...more mitts and never bring a dirty mitt back into your clean wash solution ...i love it:)
Scott' were do you get your distilled water?
a local grocery store for about 70cents a gallon
😭😭😭💀 THE ENDING
Omg! Genius!!
Thx great vid and tip
Great marketing ideas
what if the owner says something because you are advertising your business and taking their customers?
I noticed I called you Darren I apologize deeply Scott
I have hard time finding clients through Craigslist
than don't use craigslist
+Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing what's the best way then?
How much is distilled water?
Usually .78¢ a gallon, maybe less
Tips Full 'Silly' video! Thanks!
I have never been to a place that maintains their soft water (spotless) final rinse systems. It is just a meaningless icon to make you feel better.
All that is moot if you have an awesome BLOW DRYER. I have never seen that in my area..ever.
I use a giant leaf blower for my car.
$1.25?!? My local car wash is $2.50
Fox you have nice car dude
