OK for personal reference
1. Pre rinse (power wash)
2. Pre *wash* (bug & grime remover esp. Applied in front and near wheels)
3. Snow foam (apply liberally, allow to dwell then wash thoroughly incl. In between gaps)
4. Wheels (prepare bucket with wheel cleaning product and also a rinse bucket, apply wheel cleaner spray directly as well as tyre cleaner. Use wheel cleaning brush to agitate the face of the wheel as tyre side wall. Use a wheel 'whoolie' to clean the inside barrel of the wheel. Swill the wheels thoroughly, removing all product insuring none is left on the paint also
5.apply all purpose automotive cleaner to door shuts, badges and fuel filler interior. Use a *SOFT* bristled detailing brush to agitate. Swill the cleaned areas to ensure no product is left behind
6. Wash add car shampoo to wash bucket and lambs wool mitt and prepare a rinse off bucket. Ensure product is worked thoroughly and evenly through the mitt. Work top to bottom. Rinse in rinse bucket mitt after washing each panel. Rinse car ensuring no cleaning product is left behind
7. Using a plush cloth such as a chamois wipe down the car, either drag or pat dry
8. Decontaminate. Once car *IS DRY* apply tar remover especially in areas such as the front bumper, near the wheels and lower skirts. Heed the advice on the product's label and allow it to work for the directed time (a few minutes). Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth. It's is recommended to go around with wash mitt and remove the tar remover. Apply fallout remover to paint work and wheels in a similar fashion to the tar remover and allow to dwell for the time directed on the label (several minutes) remove the fallout remover. Once removed re-dry the vehicle. Once dry apply a liberal amount of clay bar lubricant to a single panel and begin to clay in a side to side motion, once one panel is done remove the clay lubricant with a microfiber cloth
9. Polishing. Using either a machine or by hand apply polishing compound on panel at a time (follow product label's instructions). Once applied and dry use a plush microfiber cloth to remove residue
10. Sealant. Place a small amount of sealant onto an applicator pad sparingly apply to each panel. Allow to cure for the time specified on the bottle. Using a microfiber cloth buff the panel to remove the residue
11. Glass. Apply glass cleaner directly to the glass and buff using a dedicated glass cleaning cloth, repeat by cleaning the interior
12. Wax. Apply a small amount of wax to an applicator pad. Using circular motions apply the wax evenly, one panel at a time or follow the products instructions on the label. Allow the wax to cure for the specified time. Buff the haze for the haze with a plush microfiber cloth
13. Trim apply a small amount of trim dressing to an applicator pad and spread evenly on the trim. Allow the dressing to 'flash' then buff using a clean microfiber cloth
14. Tyres. Apply tyre dressing/ tyre shine to applicator pad and apply evenly to the tyre sidewall. If needed buff any excess off.
15. Detailing. Apply a 'quick detailer to the panel and spread evenly using a microfiber cloth. Buff to a high shine finish using a plush microfiber cloth
Damn thanks bro 😂
You're awesome thanks!
Wow that’s a lot of work… thanks dude!
thanks men
Get a life!
Finally a detailing video that's relatable on a dirty car, most of these videos feature a car that's as clean as it gets by my standards or either a 360 step 4 day restauration project.
Great thing you did do... kept the sales to the description. You didn't pause every 5 seconds to tell the viewer what product you were using. This vid is very useful for any amateur to detailing. Way too much hate in the comments though. 3 bucket guy getting upset when he uses 3 buckets and still watched a beginner detail vid. lul. Thanks for putting this together.
Matt Septer best comment in the section! (Three bucket guy I'm in tears!!!!)
Exactly, thanks for the comment. We do try to reply to some of the negativity and explain the thought process behind our videos but many people are simply beyond discussion. So many "pro's" spending 20 minutes of their live watching beginners videos as you say :)
AutoGlanz very helpful video
If you’re a beginner trying to work out what products to use and this video is for beginners then it’s actually not very useful to amateurs at all.
@@williambriggs8189 what products do you use as an amateur?
I shine my car like this and I'd continue to do so even if no one else but me was ever gonna see it. It's satisfying and enjoyable to take pride maintaining something you enjoy. Shining my car is when I do some of my best thinking. Nice to see someone else's routine - Thank you for the video 👍
True about thinking part... also if you value something you will take great care of it
For me its painting a wall, but I know the feeling.
At step two I realised I was in over my head and had a panic poo.
😂😂 the funniest comment on the video.
Keep watching and I'm sure we can learn control that natural reaction you have 😊
😂😂😂😂
Lmao haha really 🤭😯 hahha
😂😂😂😂😂
I had to turn the music off after 4 minutes of the same riff.
just turn it right down, it's worse with no music at all
Dont u lo-fi?
Good video, bloody awful "music ", had to mute it.
Damn I got to minute 16 before realising it was the same riff!
Just read that after the full dosage, then realised the pain had gone.
17 minutes of pure car cleaning heaven, the only after do I realise, wait..... this is considered for beginners.... can you imagine the 1000 steps for professional cleaning and all this was just outside the car, I think I need to sit down this is too much to take in.
Can I just hire you to do it for me??
Nice to see someone actually cleaning a dirty car
Daniel Fl. Indeed, it was very dirty 😊
Daniel Fl. I
:)
Was going to write the same thing. A lot of channels just start off with a fairly clean car where you can hardly tell the difference between before and after.
Cough cough chemical guys
Nice car. Nice video. I’m glad you did a hand polish and wax. I did them for years until I finally bought a polisher but it’s nice to see someone taking the time to do it the good old fashioned way.
Nice video, but I'm goona be hearing that music in my sleep for weeks now...
And this is the reason why car detailing can be expensive! Keep up the GREAT work :D
This detailing video is very detailed. As an amateur hobbyist detailer, I do skip or combine some of these steps.
I do the pre-wash after the wash with bug and tar remover. I try and use the product sparingly, rather than dousing the whole vehicle in it when only a few spots may need it.
I combine the snow foam and wash steps and just use an Ortho Dial N Spray Hose End Sprayer to douse the vehicle with a solution of Meguiar's car shampoo, let it set in, then lather with a wash mitt.
On the wheels I use a short bristle brush to get the spokes, the outer edges of the drums, and the sidewalls. I don't bother with wheel woolies. Occasionally I'll take off the wheels and clean them separately, using the same short bristle brush.
The details stage is one I've been skipping but probably should be doing.
For the decon stage, I just rely on the clay bar to pull up all the contaminants.
On the polishing stage, I focus only on the areas that need it (look for scratches, swirl marks), and I have a scratch repair kit from Turtle Wax. I keep a touch-up paint pen handy for deep scratches and rock chips.
I skip the sealant stage and just rely on the wax to provide all the protection.
The trim stage is another stage I've been neglecting but should be doing it.
I also skip the finishing stage, as I don't want to put chemicals on the wax if I don't have to.
Well done
Legend has it, the music is still playing in the background..
Excellent video ...... I think a two bucket wash process was the only thing missed 👍
Thank you. Indeed we did miss to mention that part as we thought it best to go into this in depth in a later video, so much detail for people new to the hobby to pick up on and the use of multiple buckets we find only causes more investment and confusion initially. It's a detailed topic in itself and very hard to include in a short snippet on a video. Glad you enjoyed it anyway and thanks for the comment :)
READ THIS COMMENT!!! Don’t wash your mitt in the same bucket. Use 2 buckets one for clean one for dirty. Watch a video on 2 bucket method please!!! For you cars sake!!!
@@TheDetailHunters and use a grit gard
I use the 0 bucket wash method
AutoGlanz a bucket costs nothing, and the two bucket method is nothing complicated and could easily be mentioned in this video.
I think this was a great video weather you’re learning how to detail or even someone who does this for work and just a bit rusty and haven’t touched a panel in a couple months. Step by step as long as you follow the instructions on each chemical along with the order this demonstration provides anyone can increase their skill level with consistent detailing. Also doing a back car for the demo I give a two thumbs up. 👏 great job.
Do you know how much time this would take ? And also the price ? For the UK?
Detailing is so awesome when you have the correct tools and chemicals!!!!!
This is a great video. Thanks for putting it together. Exactly what I wanted for when I take my car to Spain for a show.... Want it to look the best it can. Also, for the nay-sayers, this video is important for anyone thinking of going into the detailing business. And yes, it will cost more than a tenner completed by Romanians at your local Tesco's car-park....
Thank you. I just recieved my first car yesterday. Ordering pressure washer and some good chemicals. Again thank you so much for detailed video
This detailing video is soo satisfying . Need more videos like dis . Thanks for sharing this to us . As beginners the processes are very easy to understand.
- Bijetri Bose
I’m glad there’s videos like this cause idk how else people would remember all these steps.
Washing hundreds of cars and knowing your chemicals it will be common sense
Excellent and simple process , number of stages thumbs up
What an amazing job! Very satisfying watching this
Thanks for the video :) I start a detailing job at a dealership tomorrow and this helped me to know some of the things I might expect
How it's been..
personally I’m a fan of the 63 bucket technique and use freshly killed swans’ necks for the door jams .. Jokes aside great vid, most of us have probably spent so much money on cleaning products without the proper know how, thanks for taking the time to put this together
haha brilliant. Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video :)
This was an excellent video!! Love that it's straight to the point
Best auto detailing flow video I’ve seen to date.
Detailing in the mud :)) good job
Haha it would be nice to have the studio built, soon :) no more mud then :)
@@TheDetailHunters this the type of mindset that causes autoshops to get burnt down lol.
Leaving daft comments on youtube,goodjob
Great Work...I think i have to save one month salary and a week time to do all these steps....
Great video tutorial 👍🏼 Awesome information!
I follow the steps on what you are doing. And my little fiat 500 so shinny.. Thanks for sharing
i think its good practice to do the wheels first!
In certain cases we would tend to agree yes, however if the vehicle is heavily soiled like this was we always find it best to do wheels after you have carried out a full pre wash and snowfoam so that as much soiling is removed from the wheels as possible during the pre wash stage, allowing the wheel cleaner to simply target those areas that a pre wash can not remove. In short, you dont end up wasting the wheel cleaners effectiveness on soiling that could be washed away with simple cleaning methods. Totally dependant on the job in hand and in some cases it can be best to tackle the wheels first as you say. All down to how you feel comfortable really and there is no right or wrong way around this stage :) Always nice to hear others views also, thanks for sharing. In the instance of a safe wash also we would 100% do wheels before snow foaming, or during its dwell.
I do it both ways. I will say though when I foam first and then clean tires I feel I release more dirt and that brown stain that’s in them. So it just depends on how dirty the car is to me.
I always clean the wheel whilst the snow foam dwelling
and glass last unless you are very careful with the wax and trim
From bottom to top always. Also when rinse 👍
GORGEOUS paintwork on that car. Looks dripping wet after the wax 😩👌🏼
Colton Key thank you 😊 black certainly is a rewarding colour if you put the effort in.
This is so much fun and thank you so much for given us this one
Fantastic video. Thanks for posting it.
And that is how you add serious value to your car, I love detailing my 2003 BMW 325ti Compact and making it look like a million dollars next to a newer car !
I have never used a clay bar but might give it a go after watching this , Seems to be a good thing rather than T cutting every few years to get that mirror shine. Thanks for the upload the car looked amazing....
The claybar are to iron its makes it much more esay to remove the iron :) and 0 swirls :)
The clay bar removes slightly embedded contaminants. Doesn't real do much for getting rid of swirls
Ooooo, wah, wah, wah. That's not the song... it's me, CRYING, after listening to that "song?"!
Absolutely satisfying to watch 😩 2 thumbs up!
Thank you 😊
Don't mind the negative comments, I bet half of them don't even know how to detail a car... This is a great how to for beginners, job well done!
Fantastic job , but the freaking song was killing me !!!
Good stuff mate, thanks for taking the time.. 👍🏻
Very relaxing video!! Awesome job
This detailing video is soo satisfying 🙈 . Thanks for sharing . Beginners can work on it well .
-Bijetri Bose
Ah TH-cam, where years of experience and knowledge demonstrated on a video faces remarks from self proclaimed "professionals" in the chat, all to eager to tell you how superior their method is and how incorrect yours may be.
I wonder how many of these "experts" here have actually spent more than 20 minutes cleaning their cars. All to easy to proclaim you're an expert when you're sat behind a keyboard mashing buttons.
🤣🤣🤣
Well said.
Yeah & then you wake up the next morning & some bird's shit on your bonnet!
I don’t suffer with bird shit because my car is under a car port, I do how ever get cats licking there ass and leaving hairs all over my boot lid because they are in the shade the bastards.
Time to dump her then and get another g/f ;-)
The dirty bitch!
Seriously. Happened to me last week, spent over an hour cleaning to find it full of literal shit the next day... smh
this is amazing work mate
thanks
Thank so much.. It helps a lot on my paper work presentation, on how to do a proper car washing😊😊😊
This was incredibly helpful, thank you!
Glad you found it helpful Steve. Always nice to hear.
Awesome results! What do you guys think about drying your car with a blower? And also, what about applying wax to windscreens?
Maksem Productions works fine if you don’t want to touch your car but can take long in my experience. I normally only use it for hard to reach areas and when I’m going to wax or apply a sealant and I don’t want water running down the crevasses later while I’ve got the polisher going, ruining the sealant/wax. Oh and my opinion on waxing the glass, paste wax leaves a haze, liquid works, but I usually only treat the front windshield and use a dedicated rain repellent. I feel they last longer.
Awesome vid. I’m starting a car washing buisness and this is awesome
Amazing work thanks for the vid
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Great tutorial.
But how much would you charge to carry out this work and how long would it take you? Cheers
Thank you so much dude this helped me a lot on detailing my DaDs car cause im only 17 xD
Much love from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Glad we could help, good for you getting out and doing productive things at your age. Many in the world don't!
Great video!!!!!!!!. You are a very thourough detailer. I love the way you went through every step. Ive never heard that song before however I think it is the perfect song for this video. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work. God bless
Thank you kindly, glad you enjoyed the video 😊
"never heard that song before.."
and now you'll never EVER forget it
Very well discribe! Car Detailing. Thanks for sharing.
Hi thank you for the wonderful video tutorial!
If I may ask, can I apply interchangeably? Since you applied a sealant first before wax?
With the exception of P&S beadmaker. As it states that it's a final application of product over all top coats.
you forgot stage 16 tell the customer to get out their check book cause a job this thorough is gonna cost some dollars 😂
You said it brother, maybe for a car worth 80-100k. I bet he left out the bit where you had to cut and polish for beginners.
Easily $250 right?
@@tjr7743 In my country its around 130 Euros. that even includes detailing the inside (which he didnt even mention in the vid)
Like 150 with inside shampoo 3-4 hours work. Machine polish then sealent or wax done.
roll windows down to get top part of glass where it meets the tracks, move the car forward to get the complete tire, clean rubber on wipers. Check weather before hand may have to detail car early or later in the day when its cooler. Good video
Great video, thanks for sharing!
No problem at all, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment :)
Is snow foam necessary? Or the tar remover? I'm new to the business and I'm just curious if it's worth it. I do want to give my customers the best, but could I still achieve that same result without it? Maybe at least for now? Just curious! Great video by the way. The overall steps were laid out orderly but maybe can I somehow streamline the process to get more cars done in a day? Any suggestions for that too would be great! I would greatly appreciate the feedback! I really want to do a great job. Thanks!
If you're running a business then the snow foam/foam cannon is a must have! It gets most the dirt off the car before you start your hands on wash. The tar remover in my opinion is not that necessary. I only use it on occasions. Hope this helps.
I was going to start a mobile valeting business, but after this video I’m like F#CK that!
haha please don't let it put you off. One of the most rewarding industries to be involved in. It does not come without effort however.
Runique Pro what’s that? like a detailing bussines on call? that’s exactly what i’m wanting to do ..! i actually enjoy and love cleaning cars i keep mine cleaned daily . like why not get paid for it .. plus i’ll be way cheaper than any 200 dollar or 300 detail shop
I always rinse first with a pressure washer because it does loosen up and take most of the shite off. Cool video.
nice, I vacuumed my brothers ashtray car, maguiars spray clean interior, door jams, sprayed the dirty wheels with fairy liquid then took it to the carwash, job done. looks like new.
customer drives out, straight through a puddle
That's their problem if u already did the work and got ur money they can go to hell afterwards lmaoo
Loved the video, awesome work!! 🙏
Just one question: I noticed that when you were applyin’ the tyre dresser the white pad came out “black”. It also happens to me. Does that mean the tire is still dirty or is it normal?
Keep up the good work !
It will always be dirty, rubber absorbs, don’t worry about it just make that shit look black
@@whocares1631 great advice, thanks brother! 🇵🇹
dedication and love of cars
You got a like from me for your hard work, your method works for you.
Thank you :) It does indeed, every job is different but this helps give some a good base to work from.
15 stages for beginners?! Then for advanced would be around 40 and for pro permanent ongoing status..? Holy moly, for beginners should be something more like:
1. Clean/decontaminate with soapy water (does both)
2. Use microfobire to dry the car
3. Polish/clay bar the surface (polish for removing minor scratches to be done rather not often and clay bar safe for paint removing most of visible imperfections)
4. Waxing/sealing the paint and buffing for finish.
Done! You are welcome.
Thought a ceramic sealant was supposed to go on after wax to create the seal of the shine? so many videos say wax first then sealant. More confused than ever...
Getting into classic cars. This is a great video
The extraness was real af in this video!
4:33 set the dog free
Always do wheels first. Stops all brake dust and far etc. From getting sprayed onto bodywork when rinsing
Clints detailing clinic Yt
Looks absolutely amazing 😍
Thank you
Awesome job 👏
Wish I had the inclination to keep my car that clean but the products cost more than mine I will detailing my dad's car as birthday present thanks for the informative video
Thanks for dropping the knowledge and piss off to the 459 people who gave this a thumbs down!!!
Pretty cool. Nice job
Nice and inspiring video thanks ;)
After detailing, keep your car in a time capsule, for future preferences.
great video. don't worry nobody's ever done a detailing video without the nay sayers commenting lol
Thank you :) and you are spot on there, part and parcel of the online world.
ya hoo nay sprayers lol
Very late to the show and dont expect a response but as someone who has never used pre-contact wash products before I have a question. After spraying on the bug remover and before putting on snow foam do you rinse the bug remover off, or doesnt it matter? Excellent video btw. Thank you for making it, even though it was 4 years ago.
I really like the wheels on the car!
Sneaky doggo at 4:40
Haha she's an escape artist!
Step 1 - apply liberal amount of windex
Step 2 - rinse and dry
hopefully we see more long video's like this in spring and summer,
This is the very best super best car detailing video I have seen so far and as a first time car owner it helps me alot to have a step by step guide to cleaning my car. Love it.
Did i miss something why didnt you use a tired brush to clean the tire walls you put dressing on a dirty tire
All the experts moaning. Thanks for showing I which order the products are used and how they are applied.
Great detail.
Great demo thanks
Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it.
could of bought a new car with the amount of products you used!
I could have
Really ????
***i could have bought**** not could of bought - I’m just being a ass. Sorry.
😄😄😤😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
You beat me too it....
The title of this video should be how to make detailing a car is difficult as possible time-consuming with all kinds of unnecessary processes.
Explain. Since it seems you dont detail cars at all if you think what it shown is unnecessary
I really didn't mean to question your work or process I'm sure what you did was the right thing to do with necessary however if I had a car that nice it would never need such an effort. When people get close to the Finish to check and see if there are scratches in my clear coat I usually bash their face into that surface.
You’re a waste of oxygen😂
@@motube3366 oh I'm so hurt I'm going to have to go to my safe space and play with my stuffed animals now you bully
Bro I'm with you on this. It's called "overkill."
Very informative👍.. Good job❤
The beat riddim sick🎯
Imagine doing all of this, and it rains.
It’s a detailing not just cleaning🥴 rain doesn’t wash the car as much as detailing does so
@@SJ-od9zw are you on drugs
@@christianmedina2097 I think you are
You forgot 1 step.....Compounding! The claying only removes residue and “Fallout”! The compounding would further that by removing swirls and small scratches!
Anthony Clay im a beginner was wondering in which step do i do the compound
Not all cars need it. It acts like and paper which is why it removes fine swirls and scratches. You’re essentially leveling your clear coat so you don’t want to compound too much, only when needed. I only compound areas when I need to remove scratches and I follow up with a polish for uniformity. Claying a is a safe way of removing contaminants that leaves the surface smooth and ready for a sealant.
Matthew Webb to answer your question...compounding comes after decontamination. And the other comment is correct, you don’t always have to Compound your vehicle, but why would you only do the part that just need sit? I’m not going to shave half my face because only spots are coming in!
Roughdraft214 I guess you don’t have hard water or bird shit on your vehicle! I sure would hate for you to do one my vehicles. You compound or you don’t.
Wow this is super cool!! 👍
Super relaxing video
