- This video is all about how to deeply clean your ride: we go into detail demonstrating the wash, decontamination process, even application of Water Spot Remover. All of it to ensure the paint is absolutely pristine.
In this case, we did this as a "prep wash" before polishing and ceramic coating. Be sure to stay tuned for that video in the coming week!

I like how in most, if not all, of your videos, you don't approach the topics assuming that people are already familiar with previously posted videos. Newcomers can view the video and easily understand what's being discussed.
Exactly
Well, after I mentioned I was a bit intimidated to polish and coat my daughter’s 24 year old BMW, y’all encouraged me to go for it. She and I did that this weekend using the methods y’all recommend and it went very, very well. Other than some rock chips and a few deeper scratches, it turned out fantastic. She is more that happy that her car looks so shiny and new. Thanks for the education and the prodding to do it.
That is awesome!

Yvan is always watching, he always knows when we use too much product
lol
Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there! Enjoy your day!
Thank you.
Happy Father’s Day Todd!!
@@alfredautospa You as well Alfred. Enjoy your day!👍🏼
Same to you! Hope you had a good one.
“Let’s walk down there and clean them all” hilarious reference yvan
Thank you.
Intrigued by the treat, rinse, treat…I typically spray a panel before hitting it with the sponge. But then last night I did a pre-treat because road trip bugs and found that I was able to do larger areas without worrying about drying. Even seems to look better! 🤯
Excellent
That is true! The diy group is a great community!
It sure is!
That crooked shelf at 8:10 is driving me crazy 😆
It’s part of the building’s patina
Love these videos!
Happy Father’s Day!
Thank you.
Prep is the most important part!
Agreed
Happy fathers day to both of you!
Thank you.
If you don’t have access to running water how do you “rinse” the iron remover? Is another rinse less wash enough?
Ideally both the DIY Detail Iron Remover and DIY Detail Water Spot Remover should be rinsed. A rinse less Wash can work but it’s not ideal. You can find a friend with a hose, or go to a coin operated car wash off hours
This is where I like Ivan's idea of combining the iron remover and clay towel treatment into one step (not all iron removers are meant for this but DIY's is). Not only does it remove separate rinsing stages and allow the iron remover to go further, but being able to use less product also means being able to use less water to wash off the product. I however have another technique: I do it during a light rainfall.
Please make something about Waterless wash 🤗🤗
We have quite a few videos
Guys and gals from DIY always remember: you changed my life with your Rinsless wash, it was my first, and will be my last, it's your most important and significant product - never fail me in my faith in it - and I will always defend it with my life 😅 You bunch are the best! Going to buy your 3 year coating soon and apply it on my daily
Tu
Happy Father's Day!!!
Great Video Yvan and Nick!!!
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for the great video guys!
Thanks for watching!
Where would tree sap remover fit into the workflow here? After the pre-rinse?
If needed
Thanks for the great work.
Thank you.
All right I have a bottle of quick beads but I'm wondering what i meed to be using while I am waiting a month maybe 2 months before I can get the 5 year ceramic coating what should I be putting on there quick beads or ceramic coating coating just to hold me over until I get the trust coating
DIY Detail Quick Beads is fine
Perfect video for me! Got the same car
Great to hear!
Hi! Great video guys. Just wanted to ask how you maintain the legacy sponge? Pretty excited to adding this to my arsenal.
Juste rinse and dry.
24:00 The Bermuda Triangle thing seems to be mostly solved, though not conclusively. It turns out that it is a high traffic area, storms are common there, and it is far enough into most trips that people are hesitant to turn around or detour just due to superstition, so it makes sense for the rate of accidents there to be elevated. Can't link as comment will likely be flagged or removed as spam.
Thanks for the video, these longer form situation-driven videos can be helpful as they allow us to test our knowledge by trying to predict the decisions and explanations, and they put together many of the tips from several past videos which can be easy to forget!
Thank you.
The problem I’m having is I can’t control the buffer.
I have MS
Use a palm sander, it’s easier to control, and only one handed.
would it be a good idea to panel prep and ceramic coat my black tempered glass desk to make cleaning the dust off easier?
Yes
Is it ok to be using hard water when rinsing off the water spot remover? I don’t have a DI system or a tank yet, it’s a real struggle but rinseless has helped a lot!
Yes

Yes
Windshield: after having cleaned the windshield, once dry, it *seems* perfect. But it is not the case. If I rinse it again, once wet, I can see the traces of the wipers. What is the easier way to remove these traces?
Polishing
I need to finish up a different brand of iron remover, can I just use that, rinse with the pressure washer and then use the clay towel with a clay lube of 1:128 dilution of rinseless wash?
Yes, and with DIY Detail Rinse Less Wash 256/1 is our only dilution ratio.
Hey guys, I was wondering if I should reclay my paint with the synthetic towel before ceramic coating? To provide some context I decon washed about a week ago and spent the next couple days polishing with the awesome diy system. After polishing it’s been about two days with my car just sitting there. Obviously it needs to be washed before but I’m wondering if you think I should Clay again to ensure proper adhesion of the coating, I also don’t want to undo any of the work I put into polishing so not sure if that would be too rough?
No need
I am making my shopping list. Do I need All Clean and Incredible Suds? Is there a reason I wouldn’t use All Clean for everything and skip incredible suds? Does All Clean Foam?
DIY Detail All Clean is useful for wheels, tires, insects, and grease. It’s not necessary for every wash, but it’s nice to have. DIY Detail Incredible Suds is a better alternative for regular cleaning. Yes DIY Detail All Clean foams
So if I were to use all clean in a foam cannon for a really dirty vehicle, like a Jeep, what would be a good dilution?
In a foam cannon 4/1
In previous videos, you mentioned that if you use Ceramic Gloss or Quick Beads with a drying towel, you should put the towel in your rinseless bucket to clean it so they don't dry and ruin the towel. Do you put it in the dirty bucket from washing the car, or do you get a fresh bucket of rinseless to soak it in?
Just in your wash bucket since you will launder after
Love the video guys, new subscriber!
Are there any differences in cleaning power when comparing Rinseless to Incredible Suds or situations when you would use one over the other?
Different uses. DIY Detail All Clean can be used if DIY Detail Rinse Less Wash isn’t strong enough.
2 things:
1) what speed with the palm sander when using the app?
2) you guys should release stickers for your ceramic coatings I do a lot of cars with your ceramic coatings and I’d love (and many ppl too) to put them on the windshield so ppl know what ceramic coating is on the car 😊
1 full speed
2 its sticker advertising your business that’s best, not ours.
I previously mention deionized water is like steroids for Incredible Suds, I tried foaming DIY Rinseless with deionized water in my foam cannon, and the suds seriously rival traditional foam soaps.
What dilution did you use.
@@diydetailofficial 0.5% PIR, with 50mL in my 1L foam cannon.
Bonne fete des pères ! From Montreal
Question: when will you do a full video on PPF care and caution
Keep up the great work
Great suggestion!
Great video! I have one question, when drying your car, If I dry my car with leafblower and then use a quick detailer after that, does that clean the evaporated minerals or is it better to dry it with a blanket in the first place? I do not like water dripping from side view mirror etc.
Dry with blanket first, use DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss as your drying aid. Then use the leaf blower to get the stray drops
@@diydetailofficial okay, thank you!
I park next to a machine shop and get grit on my vehicle daily. How often should I use the “clay” towel on my black ceramic coated vehicle? Do you have any recommendations for keeping my car clean?
You may want to use DIY Detail Iron Remover more often in your wash routine, without having to resort to the Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel
I’m assuming you can rinse with a garden hose if you don’t have a power washer?
Yes
Can you use quick beads on a ceramic coating? Or would it mask the properties of the coating?
Yes you can, it will alter many coatings for the better
What did you think Waterless wash do some hairline scratches?
Yes, waterless washing isn’t for dirty cars
Is it a problem if you have hard water and am using it to rinse, does the water spot remover offer any protection for preventing the hard water from sticking? Indoors like you guys show, you have time to use a drying towel but I would be doing it in direct sunlight.
You would need to work in sections
when is the next restock for the drying blanket
On the water at the moment
My Nissan Frontier has a "Pro 4-x" decal from the factory on both sides of the vehicle. Can you run the decontamination towel over that decal without doing damage to it?
Yes
Hey you guy's, I was just wondering what pressure washer/water system you have at your shop?
Kranzle and tap water
Question about quick beads I know there's a few ways for applying but what is the best way to apply to get the best results be it gloss slickness and hydro?
If you let it dwell how long before it starts drying up on you?
And how long does it last best case scenario and worse case scenario?
Do you need to reapply if washing weekly for best results?
Thanks!
This will answer your questions, and more.
Everything you need to know about QUICK BEADS (our water-activated ceramic spray)
th-cam.com/video/ByNtk0QTP8A/w-d-xo.html
Is it ok to add ceramic gloss to the rinseless wash bucket?
That would just be a waste
I work for Hyundai and clean these all the time I would love to see your guys approach to cleaning the engine bay with electric cars
I would refer to the manufacturer to see if it’s possible, and if yes , how they recommend to do it
Do you have hard water in your shop? My tap water is close to 500ppm. If I apply RW after rinsing the iron remover, is that sufficient to prevent water spots?
Yes,but always try to prevent anything from drying on the surface
Do you have a time frame when your 15mm da will be available ?
Fall
Can I use Incredible Suds instead of Rinseless for a clay towel wash, for spreading water spot towel and for cleaning a polishing pad?
Yes, with the exception of pad cleaning.
Ready and Happy Father's Day
Thank you.
Will you guys be coming out with a alkaline and acidic wash soap?
We have those already, DIY Detail All Clean for alkaline, DIY Detail Water Spot Remover if you require something acidic.
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼 happy father day too
Thank you! You too!
Great video. Question. At the very end when you are drying. You said “now if this were doing a maintenance wash we would be adding quick beads or ceramic gloss”.
I do understand that you would not use a drying towel yet if your next step was to spray on quick beads because you then need to spray off the Quick Beads. Then dry the car with the towels.
But if you were going to use Ceramic Gloss. How do you go about that step. Obviously you don’t use the large drying towel to dry the car because you’re going to use the Ceramic Gloss. How do I go about using that product while the surface is wet? If you have a video showing what to do please share it.
Do you use smaller towels and spray ceramic gloss on the surface and buff each section and your drying at same time your spreading the CG? If so how do we prevent the car from drying to fast since it will take longer to wipe the entire car down since we have to spray and buff a product into the surface as we are drying at same time (in comparison to just grabbing the big towel and going at it to dry the car like in this video). We do not have the same environment like an indoor shop like you have here. We have to do ours outside in driveway before we can pull the car into the garage. In your shop moisture sits on the surface longer while outside the hot summer air dries the paint pretty quick. Now we do use a DI system so as to eliminate the worry of minerals drying on the surface just so you will know.
Use the towel you want. Ideally wash one side at a time.
Nice info video thx u both ❤❤🎉🎉🎉😢
Glad you enjoyed!
For the contact wash, do you have to use the sponse or a microfiber would be ok too?
Sponge is safest, but a MF is ok
Do you just use spray bottles for rinse less if you don’t have a pump sprayer/auto sprayer like y’all do? Newbie question
Yes
So the All Clean handles brake dust also?
Yes, to a point
Hey Yvan. How do you decide whether to use iron remover with decon towel when doing a wash, clay, ceramic, instead of using a ceramic spray with the decon towel to make the whole process faster for professional detailing?
I personally only use the iron remover with the towel when prepping for a coating OR as an upsell on a normal Wash/Clay/Seal. And you really only see it on white cars, which makes it a good upsell. Other colored cars won't need it for that service because they can't notice it.
It depends on what your customer is paying for.
@@TheSvoboda Thank you for the advice!
@@diydetailofficial Appreciate it
Just wish I had a Place to Wash my F-150, It's like washing a HOUSE???? Still just can't figure/understand how a Sponge can work so well "Without Scratching" The Surface?? I have alway's use a High Quality Wash Mitt. Very Strange for sure. 🤷♂. Yvan / Nick, Can ya Use the Decon Towel on PPF, And Ceramic Coating without Damaging it or causing Issues???
Technology is a wonderful thing. Yes a good ceramic coating will not be affected by our decontamination process.
@@diydetailofficial Thank's I can Now start in on it.
do u use deionized water in the bucket? or is it just regular water?
Regular tap water.
Hello Yvan & Nick, Great info video. Is there a new version of your Rinseless Wash 2.0 coming out, and if so will it still be able to foam??
Reference to the old bull young bull joke, well done. Cruz on
Better cleaning and lubrication, still foams
Question about the iron remover and decontamination towel. My car is ceramic coated. Would I want to go over it every 6 months or so with the iron remover and clay towel being it is already ceramic coated or will that remove or degrade the coating?
It will not degrade DIY Detail costings
Kno it will not if anything it’ll revive it a bit
Wow, where do you guys find all these clean new cars with clean paint to use in your videos.?
On video cars always look cleaner than in real life
th-cam.com/video/uryuer3NuLM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aqa5OTJ3OrDx49HT
You say to use iron remover every six months or so with a clay towel, is it safe to do this on a ceramic coated vehilce?
Yes
Has anyone used the decontamination towel with other iron removers (rust converters)? I have some other brands of iron remover I still have to go through first, but was concerned about potentially ruining the towel with other brands even though the rust conversion chemical is the same (Sonax, P&S).
You will need to test the compatibility
I just bought a brand new car and had ppf applied to the full front. How does one prep ppf and piano black accents? I plan on using your Hydro Lite.
C6 Ceramics Adhesion Promoter Polish (APP)
@@diydetailofficial I assumed APP might scratch the film. Thank you
when will The legacy sponge be in stock? Have a large order on hold waiting for this bunch to be back in stock so I can complete my order.
Unfortunately we can’t get an answer from Lake Country other than 4-12 weeks
I don’t have water spot remover yet. Is there another DIY product that I can use as a sub in the meantime?
Unfortunately not
Do you?
Have any plans on creating a topper for your new ceramic coatings
No need for a topper, but we have C6 Ceramics Mist drying aid
It’d be nice if I could find the iron remover 16 ounce bottle anywhere I’ve been waiting for I don’t even know how many weeks 😢
It’s been in stock for 2 weeks now, you may need to refresh your browser

Used Quick Beads yesterday!
Excellent
how much incredible suds do I put in a pressure washer foam cannon?
1-2oz
Could you rinse the water spot remover off with rinseless in a ik sprayer?
Yes
can you add all clean , de iron, water spot remover on a ceramic coated car?
Yes
Another question, if ceramic gloss clogs my drying towel, is there a way to get it out?
When done drying, dunk drying towel in your wash bucket for 15 minutes
@@diydetailofficial I did that and mine absorbed so much water 🙂 took a lot to wring it out - any tips for that?
Can the surface of a vehicle be too hot for the synthetic perforated decontamination towel? For example, a black car in the sun on a 90-degree Fahrenheit day with no shade? If so, I assume, work in sections continuously cooling the surface with more rinseless or just wait till evening.
Correct, heat will degrade
It’ll work , but put a canopy up for the paint and do one side at a time or work in the early morning or late evening , middle of day is the worst lol but always keep it lubricate is the most important part
@diydetailofficial Degrade it or actually melt it, and it sticks to the paint? Lol
@@cormaro13 I would think canopies are mandatory for those home detailers in Phoenix/Las Vegas/etc. in the summer for the car and their own comfort and safety.
Hi Yvan/Nick, where can I get that squeegee. The one that I have has a smaller tip and not that efficient..love the content as always. Thank you 🙏
We got it at Home Depot
I got a push broom with a squeegee on the other side. One tool for 2 job in my garage.
Which method do you prefer for a deep clean when not doing a polish or ceramic coating?...Incredible Suds, Decontamination, Quick Beads, Ceramic Detailer or the rinseless method you outline in this video?
No preferred methods, just a lot of different ones that work, choose one and enjoy
What does the DIY Detail Iron remover have that makes it safe to apply the towel into the panel like that.
No solvents, and added surfactants that give more lubrication
Thanks for the clarification, im thinking on this or maybe next week doing something similar to this video but the iron remover is out of stock at the moment 😅
Ivan looks like a damn tour guide at a museum.
lol I’m old enough
Lack of a rear wiper is a big complaint with this car. The refresh now has one.
Okay, didn’t know
What’s that sprayer called that you are using to spray on the rinse less wash?
Https://www.thedetailguy.biz/shop
What's your opinion of high PH soaps as a pre soak ? Dangerous or not ?
Not dangerous, not useful either.
What am I gonna do with my incredible suds then?
Enjoy them
Happy Birthday Nick! 🎂😎🤔Naples, Florida here! 🔥💦🔥💦
Thank you.
Who makes the cansister you are carrying around? I find it funny people will buy a bunch of expensive equipment and product, but won't spend $2 for a small Walmart graduated measuring cup.

I went to your site and everything is sold out, when are you going to get restocked???
We restock daily. Be sure to refresh your browser
Check their list of distributors. A lot of times those sites will have stock when the DIY main site does not. Them having stock is probably a big reason why things sell out on the main website so quickly.
Where you get the clear bucket at?
