Hi Evan, such a great video in so many ways. I loved the introduction and I loved your choice of music throughout. A couple of questions and observations. 1. If the car were dirtier would you have used a 3 bucket wash...1 bucket being for the tires alone? 2. Why don't you "wring" the "mitt" off when you put it in the rinse bucket?. 3. Do you always use a foam cannon? I have one but don't always use it. Admittedly sometimes lazy but my theory is that you need it more for a perfect surface...like you have here than you do a dirtier car. Your thoughts? Great job. You are a way undervalued You Tube star detailer. You do a fantastic job on all your productions. Thanks so very much. Phil.
Thanks! Yes you should technically be using three buckets every time if you are washing the wheels. If you use gyeon tire and wheel or brake buster as a touchless solution or just rinsing then no need to waste water but if you plan to use brushes like wheel woolies then definitely a third bucket. You could certainly wring the mitt out but you wouldn't remove to much dirt that way only extra water. Submerging the pad in water and scrubbing it against the grit guard is what really cleans out dirt from the pad. I often scrub it against the wash bucket grit gaurd too. If your washing a very dirty car having a second wash pad can be helpful. Just swap it in when the first pad seems to dirty to safely continue. Always foam the car. Especially if you have the equipment and a pressure washer. The foam loosens dirt so it comes off easier and is softer. It also adds tremendous lubrication. No matter the dirt level we want the dirt to be easier to remove and have lots of lubrication. Remember you usually cause the most damage and swirls when you think its not dirty and do the fast version. Thats the slippery slope to watch out for! Thanks so much for watching and the great questions! So many videos still to come!
Excellent video. However, you need to get a second wash pad for the lower sections. During multiple parts of the video, you wash the lower sections of the door or behind the front fenders and then run that pad over the top surfaces of the vehicle. That introduces swirls. All top sections washed first with one pad and then a lowers are done last with a different pad.
Check out my more recent videos I have completely changed how I do this this video is pretty old
How do you decide when to pre-wash with a foam cannon to start out removing grime more gently vs starting with a pressure washer? Or do You never worry about scratching the car using the pressure washer first, regardless of dirt? Very classy intro, by the way. Love it.
Thanks! You can always rinse first. No harm in that. Pre foam every time if you have the time and money to pay for the extra products. But I'd typically only pre foam when car is extra dirty. Then rinse again. The foam again and contact wash
I love the tips and insights you give. I always use 3 buckets when washing. All of them with gritt guards. I also use different washmitts for the top, bottom sections of the car and another one for the wheels. Now, washing a coated car is very nice, but how about a car with poor protection or no paint protection whatsoever? You can’t help swirling up the paint at that point? I’d love to get your advice on that. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Your doing an amazing job nick! Especially the multiple wash mitts for different parts of car! That's excellent!! You wash a non coated car the exact same way as the video. A non waxed or ceramic coated car will hold onto the dirt more. Meaning after your rinse the level of dirt will be higher. More dirt means more potential swirls when you add friction like from a wash pad. So using multiple wash pads or even a bunch of microfibers per section will help to not reintroduce the dirt to the car. A good foam cannon setup helps too. More lubrication means we can soften and loosen the dirt. The reality is if your doing it all right... you probably love your car and at least have wax or ceramic sealant on it. Meaning non of this is an issue. If your washing q fully unprotected car you probably also only have one wash pad one bucket and no pressure washer. Thats a swirled out car no matter what lol. Sidebar. The tricky part about unprotected cars is drying. I'd recommend a large drying towel and to lay it on car pat dry and remove. Don't drag it. Or just slowly air dry. Then please put some wax on it lol. You can also use wetcoat from gyeon after the wash during final rinse to add touchless ceramic sealant and then be able to properly dry with air. Checkout statusdetailstore.com for some of the mentioned products 👍
Just want to ask what ceramic coating did this Porsche have? Great vid bro!!
Hey Max This car had a dual layer gtechniq ceramic coating. The top coat is EXO and is primarily what delivers the water behavior in this video. Our cure process is unique and helps boost the water behavior too👍 Thanks for watching! I have a video that shows how to use EXO on the channel. It's the GT3 Touring video.
@@STATUSDETAIL Thank you for sharing bro, that water beading is insane! I had to replay some parts over and over cause of its beading effect. So amaze, more detailing vids in the future bro. Thanks again!
@@goodpolish123 thanks!!! Be sure to subscribe. So many videos coming. I have half a dozen on the computer just waiting to be edited together haha
@@STATUSDETAIL Done!! Will be waiting for it. Godspeed bro!
LOL. This is insane! I don't know if I'm happy or sad that I watched this.
Hopefully happy! I was definitely aiming for happy lol
How about cleaning in the front trunk and rear like between the door and frame and door frames and under and on the inside part of the doors? You dont spray in the wheel wells?
I definitely spray wheel wells. This is a pretty old video on my channel so can't remember if I did at the time lol.. definitely a great practice tho. We do it on every car currently. Pretty sure we did back then too As for the other spots. Definitely! Clean everything! This video was more about a fast weekly type wash so most people will go "fast". And save the bigger detail for once a month or every other month.
@@STATUSDETAIL Ok ok.. I clean and dry in the door frames and frunk in my Porsche because the water gets inside the frunk a bit, dont want it to rust or anything, every time I was my Porsche. I use the "Absorber" cloth. Then soak an wash the Absorber cloth after every wash.
@@NinjaWarriorDude416 yea you definitely want to dry the jams etc. That's standard practice here too. I'll have more videos on this stuff. This one is pretty out dated
shouldnt you rinse off the soap from the foam cannon thats helped lift dirt then do the touch wash?
Depends how dirty it is. If it's really dirty do a pre foam. Rinse that off. Foam again. Then contact. If car isn't that dirty the rinse should be enough. Especially on ceramic. If you want to use extra materials you can foam. Twice everytime
In the middle of winter - freezing temperatures 10 and below - would pressure wash/rinse at the self serve car wash be smart? and call it a day with the ceramic coating ? Almost like a quick remove salt and dirt? What do you recommend for the freezing months with out access to pressure wash unless u go to the self serve car wash. Thanks
That's a great idea. And bring your own bucket and wash pad. Some wetcoat or hydro too for fast winter protection But do your best to pick a 32-40 degree day. You don't want to be out there in 10 degrees. It won't be fun you won't do a good job and it's going to freeze if the hoses even work. Winter is usually when we wash poorly because it's uncomfortable to wash correctly.
@@STATUSDETAIL thanks for the reply - I bring my gyeon bath and cure
Hey what do you mean just spray foam into the wash bucket? Is there already water in there? Also, do you ever use QD after a wash to help with drying? Sometimes I cover the car with QD after a wash before drying, but then need to towel dry. What about door jambs?
Yes water in bucket. But then your soap comes from the foam Cannon vs pouring soap into your bucket. Yes quick detailer can be great for drying. Use a nice clean towel to dry your jams. Typically a different towel than your exterior paint
@@STATUSDETAIL Thanks! You guys are out of Chicago?
@@oliverradcliffe7974 correct. I'm in Aurora IL. Serving the greater Chicago land area and at this point all of the USA. I have cars coming from many different states. Florida. Wisconsin. Texas. South Carolina etc.
so clean btw how much would you charge for just this wash?
Maintenance details start at $250. This is my entry service. Nothing less expensive is currently offered. I'll do this for anybody but typically this is really only offered to my existing clients to keep everything perfect long-term. But I definitely don't turn people away if they ask for that service The point is I don't really advertise it
@@STATUSDETAIL gaddamn and here I thought a car wash like this was 35$ 😭
@@MexicanSniper It's definitely reasonable to get just a wash for $50. It would be pretty straightforward and basically exterior only Maybe a quick vacuum. I personally don't really offer that because we focus on paint correction ceramic PPF etc. But it's definitely available!
@@STATUSDETAIL Yeah thats what I thought, obviously those jobs require alot more attention, care, and detail so that makes sense. Awesome work I look foward to learning alot more from your videos, also I really appreciate the reply
@@MexicanSniper My pleasure thanks for watching my videos Hope to see you around the channel 🙂🙂
So are you snow foaming the car and then using normal soap like gyeon bathe to wash the car on top of the snowfoam that's there? This is of course after you've either rinsed one coating of snow off already or if you think one coating of snow foam is enough to agitate with pad and shampoo Edit: Nevermind, I think you topped up a wash bucket with water in with snowfoam to get some extra soap in there when agitating the snowfoam with the pad. I assume you rinse that off and then use a shampoo?
This is an older video but in a perfect wash You're going to use a dedicated prefoam. Then after that dwells and you rinse it off you're going to use a dedicated car shampoo. Then going for the contact wash
@@STATUSDETAIL what dedicated prefoam do you use? and for the shampoo if the car is already ceramic coated what shampoo do you recommend?
Hey man. About how much $ in soap and water do you use per wash generally? Seems like alot of soap!
No idea how to calculate that lol. I probably use more soap than the average person.
@@STATUSDETAIL I guess whats your inventory of soap over the course of a month. then divide that by the amount of hours you spend washing the exterior of a car haha. idk. thanks!
@@PBrooksSawyer I have so many soaps lol. I use different ones all the time. $2-5 bucks I a wash idk lol
What coating is on this car x2 layers???
Crystal serum light and exo
does this Porsche has ppf on it?
I believe it has partial
Gyeon coating?
Gtechniq dual layer with our in house installation method and curing process. The prep is massively important too! We did use gyeon in the past. But not anymore for my primary ceramic. I do love gyeon for maintenance tho.
What coating does this car have ?
Gtechniq dual layer ceramic! Available on statusdetailstore.com
How about wax the car? Or ur shampoo got wax function?
This was simply about washing a car but definitely you can add a wax step to any car wash!
You get a like off the intro alone

Thanks for checking the channel out!! So much more to come !
Good video, but kill the inane music man!
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Personally I’d never be comfortable (even with a ceramic coated car) with just rinsing then straight to a contact wash with foam….you’re putting a lot of trust in the foam/your technique not to rub the remaining ~20% of dirt into the paint. I would go rinse, foam with a prewash snow foam, rinse that and then use a shampoo. There’s also a school of thought that pre rinsing will make a snow foam less effective/dilute it down but that’s a whole thorny issue!
I definitely agree the extra foam and rinse can be helpful. It's also important to note bug removers if you have a million bugs on the front like the gt3 I did today lol. I'll likely make a updated version to this video soon as this one is a bit old now
