Use the water you are rinsing the car with to keep yourself cool no matter how hot it is you have a cooling system in your hands that’s what most people forget.
Oklahoma based mobile detailer here. I’m just starting out so DI water is out of my realm of affordability. Instead I use a 10x10 folding canopy combined with an in-line RV Water Filter to get the closest result. Still going panel by panel of course. Not the best or quickest solution, but it’s cheap and affordable for beginners trying to start up this summer 👍🏻 Great video!
Check out RV Mods DI water tank. It’ll be the greatest $400 you ever spent. $20 on a high quality 10 ft hose and some spare quick connects will change your life!!
Hello guys!!! If you guys have trouble washing in the sun!! Try turtle wax and dry product It literally helps out with water spots while drying in the sun! And it’s cheap!!!!! Hopefully this helps anyone outhere if you can’t afford a di system! I live here in Texas and it’s damm hott!!
Keep glass cool. Hot glass will streak whatever you use to clean it. The chemical/catalyst will flash too fast and it’ll all leave streaks. When I’m having to clean glass that’s really hot, I just use carnauba wax. If I’m not gonna wax it, I use a waffle weave with some diluted spray wax. In a pinch, water or IPA/water equal mix and a black/white newspaper works wonders as well.
I use inline water RV filter, rinse aide (Superior product Formula 4) dilute 10:1 Spray on after rinse. A pinch of sea salt in your water bottle helps with dehydration. Sun screen may have to try. Thanks Oscar for the awesome tips😊
Also if you have a buddy/coworker and what not knock out one side washing it together and as you move on to next panel/side they dry that side of the vehicle as you keep progressing so and and so forth working around the vehicle 🙏🏻
Some great tips here in this video. I bail to my truck and blast the AC for 5 mins when I get too hot to get my temperature down. Not as hot where I am in Florida, (only) 90 yesterday, but the humidity sucks the life out of you. Water, Gatorade, snacks, canopy, AC, the right clothing, all vital to stay healthy.
I live in las vegas in the summer time it gets from 100* to 110* F there's been two tips I've found that have helped me when cleaning cars when it gets that hot one get DI water when you put water on your car it drys so fast when it gets that hot so this helps ease the mind knowing I won't be putting any hard water on the customers car the 2nd tip is not doing the hole car at the same time but go section by section i treat the roof the front and side glasses and trunk glass as one section the hood and grill section as another the bottom sides bellow the glass left and right as another then the bottom trunk as another section get those sections to the point where there almost completely dry or ready to be dry before starting on another section it may take a little longer but that's fine at least its gonna come out clean
@@CTTH100 All depends on how you use it. I only use it for the final rinse. On the website it says you can get 2,000 gallons at 100 TDS. I checked my tds level and was at 200 tds. I’d say I use max 4 gallons on the final rinse. So I can get about 500 washes before changing the rinsin.
@@CTTH100 hey, I got about 3 months worth before my resin died. Got it early may and early august it was done and ordered new resin. So like 3 months and I was doing about 20-30 cars each month, I did 2 RV’s, so those used a bunch of water. The website says the di pro 100 can do 4000 gallons at a tds ppm of 100. Here in Las Vegas I have 500 tds ppm😔. I have a 65 gallon tank that I fill, so I got about 14 refills.
I work solo no help and right now is 98 100 degrees sometimes I wash with two bucket method cus I can’t foam and wash before the soap is dry so is hard man, i wish I could keep going I love it and my customer are very happy with my work but is getting hard for me need more customer to be able to go full time I am 50 now I just want to throw the towel. Is frustrating people want everything for the same price. Sorry! I have been in the sun thirty and hungry for 8 hrs, you have been such a great help this couple years thank you and good luck amigo.
Dri-Fit long sleeves fishing shirts do a few tricks. Long sleeves keeps you from dipping sweat everywhere and keeps the sun off your skin and I know some fishing shirts specifically can reduce UV rays and the dri-fit material will help keep you cooler than cotton.
Arsenal Auto Detail, is my mobile business here in New Mexico. EVERYTHING you talked about was spot on brother. Hydration should always be at the top of your priorities.
Appreciate all of your tried and true tricks of the trade. Thinking about purchasing a canopy and was wondering the brand and model you use . Does it take 2 people to raise it? Is it necessary to use sand bags to keep it grounded? Thanks again for sharing your detail knowledge with everyone.
God bless you brother. Over here i have everything i could dream of as a mobile detailer and even an inflatable garage that i had customized with my logo. The downfall over here in New Jersey is that nobody wants to work. Im finding as a mobile detailer that it is the hardest thing to find reliable workers. I can't put up a 12x15 tent by myself so i have been in direct sunlight and i think i am burnt out lol
would love to see a video on the water setup and filling up the tank. My guys drive to our local water company every other day and fill up with DI water.
Actually its better to use di water with chemicals because theres metals and minerals that can change how a chemical acts. Thats why they recommend to usually dilute with di or distilled water
Me and my wife did interior details this winter (in Utah) it was so cold most days if you tried spraying chemicals on the plastic it would freeze before we could wipe it
I wash the vehicle first with normal water and the last stage I do is just wash with spotless water in that way I don't waste it as in London you need to pay to fill up your tank.
@Jose Barriga hell yeah bro tell me about it i work in gardening with my pops but since he’s getting older he doesn’t really work anymore it’s mostly just me by myself everyday In the sun sometimes I wish I would have stayed in college 😂
Why are you drying the car? Cant you just let the car flash dry and start putting your tools away or start the interior? It would take like 5 minutes in the summer heat to dry. No water spots would be left due to DEI water. Could you explain, please? Am I missing something?
It leaves spotting but not hard spotting. So if it drys you can pass a damp towel and then dry with a dry towel and you will have no problem. Where as hard water spots are more of a hassel
most DI water is the same. I think you can find it for around 30 cents a gallon at detailing supply stores. I personally am still using customers water but i am looking into DI
Took me a while to get out of youtube brain and realize sometimes; you just can’t do iron remover on cars that have been baking outside all day by the time you get to it. Even rinsing it down and trying cool the panels is pointless...it’s not your fault the customer can’t provide shade, just gotta work around it!! You always wanna do 1000% great work but it only takes so many chemical stains to convince you otherwise! DI water is a must...
Couple of things to consider first....How much of your vehicle won't be covered. I tried a 10' x 10' but my car was 16' long so Sun was hitting some of it. Also, consider if Sun comes in at an angle, won't get as much coverage either.
@@ddautodetailing what is it called how much does it cost and how time effective is it to put up and take down every appointment I’m a mobile based detailer in NorCal where many ppl use there garage as another room or storage and I don’t detail out of a van
@DonnyBRZ The DI water system is from "On-the-Go." They have different options to choose from that very in prices. Breaking down and setting up every time is very time consuming and definitely time lost. I detail as a hobby and not a business so breaking down and setting up isn't to concerning for me. I would love to have a dedicated van, it would make things so much faster. I did put quick disconnects on everything to help speed up the process.

What are your tips to washing in the sun? Let us know!
Rinsless wash with DI water
I live in Louisiana so I know what you mean some people have no clue of how hot and humid it is in the Dirty South!
Knowing what chemicals work in the sun, some waxes streak on hot panels.
Use the water you are rinsing the car with to keep yourself cool no matter how hot it is you have a cooling system in your hands that’s what most people forget.
I think it would help if you did a live one person wash.
I usually wash until I pass out then once I wake up I pick up from where I left off
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅✌
I felt that lol CTX🤟
I usually just fly and move the sun over to the other side of the world until I finish my detail then just bring it back when I’m done
ahahah
In the heat I keep a gatorade cooler,with ice and water. I throw a couple poweraids and a beer for when my day is done. It goes a long way

Wake up at 7 AM to wash it 🤦🏽♂️ just so around 8:30 it’s already 95
Sounds like me here in FL except I've been getting up at 6:30-6:45a. 😔😔😔
I recently bought the DI pro 100 from rv mods, Luke Wilson did a video on it and I love it!
I also ordered the DI Pro 50, really excited to use it!
I also got the RV mods DI pro 100 and first used today and it’s definitely a game changer. Money well spent.

Where in az are you lol. I’m in Tucson

@@codya.k.a.nlnjacr1tt3r really bro. That’s nice. What side of town are you on
I use filter water and in sections. I use a spray bottle with soap and water, rinsing frequently.

I am in west texas we have dry heat here. I have to wash car panel by panel because it drys so fast. Yesterday was 108F here.
Actually its better to use di water with chemicals because theres metals and minerals that can change how a chemical acts. Thats why they recommend to usually dilute with di or distilled water
I've never used DI water in chemicals lol. But I meant more so that you won't let them dry on the paint anyways
Today I was working with the sun hitting on me crazyyyy.
It's not fun
Dude you look like a high school major, this is a compliment what u use to keep looking very young
Me and my wife did interior details this winter (in Utah) it was so cold most days if you tried spraying chemicals on the plastic it would freeze before we could wipe it
Excellent topic. Phoenix will top out at 108 tomorrow.
I’ve heard if the windshield gets to hot and water gets on it it can crack, is this true? How can I avoid this from happening?

Drift is a must lol!

Can we scrub a car with a microfiber towel ? Without creating swirls marks ?
Do you filter your water into a tank? Or do you use the di system attached to your pressure washer?
Why are you drying the car? Cant you just let the car flash dry and start putting your tools away or start the interior?
It would take like 5 minutes in the summer heat to dry. No water spots would be left due to DEI water.
Could you explain, please? Am I missing something?
You could, if you want. We still need to get the water out of the crevices so we still have to blow. Go for it
What’s the lat tarp on the floor at your shop ????? Let’s talk about it
Wait why do you still dry the car if it doesn’t leave water spots?
It leaves spotting but not hard spotting. So if it drys you can pass a damp towel and then dry with a dry towel and you will have no problem. Where as hard water spots are more of a hassel
Thank god I have a carport for detailing
Top tips 👍💪
is the water your using better then ro water ?
I use ro and it leaves some spots but they wipe off. Not etching the paint

Hey unrelated question, what did y’all figure out with the water situation with the property manager.
What do you think about Adams DI filter.? TY for your videos.
I haven't tried it so I'm not sure
What's a way I can implament DI water in my business without a water tank, I usually hookup my water the customers house or my house.
I actually dont think there would be a complete way of doing it, but a nice water filiter would definitely help
Use a in-line Deionization filter.
