I had some issues exporting this video, there is a mixing problem around the 10Min mark. The colors seem off a bit. Story of my life. Thanks for still watching.
The material you covered is more important than that minor editing detail. Keep up the great work.
edit less, the video is great minus the weird editing quirks.. and tbh.. who needs that waste of time? just get the good details in and everyones happy.
what hydrophobic agent do you use and the only thing i would say is lower the pressure on your snowfoam gun it sounded like it was hitting the paint hard and wasnt completely covering the body of the car 2nd thing is on your blower put a flat nozzle on the end as it will displace the airflow quicker.
Can't believe I quit on this video LOL
Also, the audio is all over the place...
still haven't got my first paycheck for this orientation

Kirk Resty holy fuck your English is terrible, “my humble opinion about that,” doesn’t even make sense. Stupid fuck.
I love Bmw well somebody’s slow

One trick I learned to filter your water from a garden hose (if you don't have a softener) to help prevent mineral spots, is to attach a garden hose filter. You can find them online for about $10-15 bucks. Last for about 1000 gallons. Great for if you are cleaning window on your house too.
This is probably the most unused, most helpful, thing to do when washing a car imo.👍...2 years and no likes. No worries I got u.
I just dry it super quickly.
Detailing is the perfect profession for anyone with OCD.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
In my stoner days, I LOVED washing my car in the middle of the night with a big thermos of rum & coke. Car was always spotless, inside and out! Nowadays, I'm too lazy to even take it to the carwash. Sooner or later, the rain will rinse it off.
You'd never finish...oh, look at that bit...buff, oh..look at that bit...how did I miss that......gas saver for sure
No it's not. You will never be able to get anything perfect.
And good back as well as knees
Good training... if I may add two things I learned when working at a carwash some years back. Wear a Velcro belt if you wear a belt... because leaning against the car accidently with a metal belt buckle on is likely to scratch the vehicle. 2. Wear slip resistant shoes if working in a shop with painted floors... because soaps, especially degreasers tend to be pretty slippery, especially if you're trying to rush around corners of the vehicle as most of us do when we are on deadlines. :-)
Just turn the belt around
I did this once, it didn't just scratch it but took a deep cut into the car, luckily the paint looked like it was keyed more than once in the same area so the owner didn't notice but still it was not good
@@fdfischer you slippery bastard
This guy knows what he’s doing. I’d trust him to wash my car any day. Washing the car is only half the process. Protecting it is a whole other thing.
Washing it is the hard part compared to protecting. Washing it has the largest possible chance of Getting things to scratch the paint. While protecting you just spray, buff & dry carefully
Excellent! I have been in the car business for 50 years and few folks know the correct way to clean a car ! Great Video ! !
Thanks 👍
Let me give you the best car washing tip you'll ever hear and it costs absolutely nothing. Shade. Wash your vehicle in the shade.
...so the birds can poop on it. Obviously, a garage is much better shade.
@Elliot Rodger so the soap doesnt dry before rinse
@@charles2241 umm the garage is providing the shade. The OP didn't say was your vehicle in the shade provided by a tree...
@@ipodtouch470 No actually, context indicates a tree (by the OP), since it is thought that trees cast shade, whereas garages cast shadows and generally, unlit, are in a darker situation than a car under a tree's shade. That's how I see it anyway. I was merely trying to improve on the likelihood that OP really did mean a tree's shade, and that there was a better idea still, that is, if you have a garage, and many of us don't. My brother parks his car under a tree most of the time at his house, and the thing is a huge target for aerial bombardment.
Buildings, carports, billboards, awnings, box trucks, all create shade.
What you showed is actually my process and sequence. Gosh there are loads of people talking so much crap here... They all criticize but I would love to see them wash their cars. Keep up the good work Jason.
It is youtube and there are a bunch of angry youngins that can't appreciate a pro who does something right- They also don't get that the internet is not just for them to watch porn that it was designed to spread knowledge. Jason took some time out of his life to not only show us how to do something but he did it properly as in the video was good. It can't be easy to make a video like this entertaining but yet he did. your point is well taken but I bet Jason and others like him are more concerned with the appreciation they get than the angry people lashing out.
Who gives a fuck, I'll take my shit through a carwash and it will look just as good. Detailing is overrated.
@@divejumpshooter6947my guy shut the fuck up clown
I was a car detailer for 10 years and this is right on. The only thing for us was we didn't wipe off excess tire shine and we didn't have one of those nifty blowers for the panel gaps and door jambs, that's a nice touch.
Thanks Jason for the refresher's course. We all need to be reminded of the basics from time to time!
Thanks for watching!
The moment you realize you just spent 14 minutes watching a man wash a car.
When I wash mine it costs me 3,5 hours....so what up??? You got a problem with that, bro?
@@bmwforlife6951 I think he does, what's up with that joe?
Put any how-to video on 1.25 or 1.5 speed. Just gave you hours of your life back....You're welcome
Bmw Forlife you’re such a tool 🙄
Well, I did speed it up a bit so not so bad!
New employee "Be careful with the metal tip of the wheel brush." I like how you guys have pressured lines with various products. Very efficient.
Thats the easyest thing on detail for me the hardest is when you got to clean like the seats and carpets but well expained man.
Great video, Simple details and not over complicated for your average person. More like this please.
I'm a detailer. Plan on opening up my own detail shop next year. By watching your video learn something new. Thanks for the tips Jason.
WOW , I'm 61 now and I've been doing pretty good I thought cleaning my car , you guys take it to the next ,next level . I bought some of your products , luv the grit guard idea and two buckets . I've never put the hand sponge to the bottom , but yours make's sense for sure .Thanks for all the great tips , Bruce
@ eh, that's just for expediancy when you're doing it for profit. For a home user 2 is more than enough
@ better watch it again
I just wish I had your set up!! ;) . Thanks for posting sir!
I used to clean ,detail cars in the 70,s love your professional regimen. Cool
Thank you for sharing this on youtube, I found it helpful.
I have been doing it completely right all this time . Thanks J bone👍
I've always used a "below the belt" wash mit for the bottom of all body panels because I don't want to get tar & road grime on my main mit. I like the grit-grid idea for on the bottom of the bucket, I never thought of that!
Walmart sells those buckets with grids (buckets r 2-3gal)
I don't use a bucket at all. Regardless of the grid, if the water is dirty, there are dirt particles floating in it. I use 3 mitts and continually wash them out after washing a few panels. I always start with the hood and the cleanest mitt since it's most noticeable.
Yeah, grit guards are fantastic for loosening up the soil you pick up from a standard wash. Transference is the pits!
Thought I was about to learn some secrets about washing my hands when detailing
When dirt grows to about half an inch it just falls off by itself...
😂😂😂
🤣😂🙏🏻
Lmfaooooooo
Along with all the rust.
A great video - thanks Jason. I learnt a lot - viewed it immediately before doing my first wash after getting a ceramic coating.
Awesome, if you need any car wash maintenance products please reach out. www.carguysupplies.com
That was a great video, super helpful! I love how techy he gets over every step! 👍🏾
Outstanding , thank you.
First, welcome back Jason. Thanks for the tip and keep them coming.
Thanks for the tips, that is something too know, me myself is getting back into the carwash business i will will be traveling to my customers and that information you share will help out a lot! Thank You.
Thank you for this video; I'd never realized the logistics of having "MORE" equipment (rinse bucket with grime catcher, wash bucket, drying rag, finishing rag, separate rags for door jambs. (no wonder my car is all scratched-up!... LOL). Thanks again! I appreciate the explanations along the way.
Robert P d
This video is the reason I subscribed! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I would also suggest to that new employee wear the shirt tail out to cover the belt buckle, snaps, rivets, chain wallet etc. I once saw a professional detailer wearing a sweat suit and thought it looked sloppy. I tried it myself after realizing it is a very safe and comfortable way to move all over the car without scratching it.
Not to mention......at THAT point, he's a WALKING BUFFING CLOTH!! :-) (You're welcome)
I once saw a guy washing his car in a speedo then I wished i had a different dad
Yeah, I had a friend get fired in Austin because he leaned across the hood and was wearing a big belt buckle that day😬
You guy's are the best!!! Excellent tutorial 👌!!! For anyone wanting to learn the proper way of cleaning your own vehicle 👍.
A few minutes of time right now will save me a lot of time in the future. It's always good to learn from the pros no matter how simple something might be. No reason to reinvent the wheel! Thanks very much!
That was inspiring to watch! Makes me wish I had my own indoor bay at my house to wash! Thanks for the tip!
LMFAO and hoses full of all the chemicals you need
You do it's called a garage. Move the other car/junk out of the way and use lower pressure on the hose. You may even wind up with a cleaner garage floor then when you started.
😂 thanks for the response…. After 2 years.
i am starting my own mobile auto detailing business, love your video. I am not sure of the best product
Awesome tutorial bro hats off to you great work brother, as a professional detailer myself one thing i do to prevent a dirtier mint i do spray some cleaner by the side skirts and underneath, than pressure wash it to loosen as much dirt/grime as i can to prevent the extra dirt on the mint. U do awesome work man i enjoy ur vids
Wow Great Video and outstanding process. I'm going to show my kid this one so he can get to work. Thanks.
Nice work. Back in my detailing days, I learned that a car should be first rinsed, and washed from the top down
I wash my car with an old t-shrit in the rain. And in 10 mins could get looking exactly the same as a detail. I get everything from top down, and just focus on tires and bottom last. A quick wipe will do wonders.
With his two towel drying technique I bet this guy would kick ass at a local karate tournament
If do right, no can defense!
I'm a know it all. But I learned a lot thanks Jason. Pete in England
Bloody well then.
The secret is not in finish but in preparation. Very good Jason, Thanks for the advices.
Great job Jason
How many will admit they have been doing it wrong since... I don't know... Day 1? ... Thanks Jason
It's not rocket science, he's make a big emphasis on how to wash a car, this video is very dumb
E.C. Marin then don’t watch it, you fucking tool. Negative ass...
If we’re being honest, this isn’t “right”. There’s just glaring “wrong” things that are common sense. For example, don’t put degreaser on the clearcoat air paint surface of a car.
Spent 17yrs detailing car's/trucks, we called this process, the water works, engine bay, wheels, door jams, boot, oops. Trunk, I found my own groove 2yrs in the job, as time went on I was always trying new chemical's to use, to make the job quicker, and easier, but not compromising quality , but that satisfaction of a job well done ✅ priceless,. Thank you for that walk down memory lane 🤘 awesome vid
WONDERFUL video! Exactly what I was looking for. You cover everything. Every question I had, you answered. Thanks so much. Thumbs up!
I was about to sandblast my car to remove mud around the wheels. Glad I found your video before.
Lol haha
Sandblast?
@@oyesimon8112 sandblasting is used to treat metal on cars, it's like sanding it but its a pressured maching you use to eliminate paint of a chasis.
@@alexrobles8611 I know what sandblasting, this is a stupid video if you don't know how to wash a car then you have a serious problem.
@@oyesimon8112 Ah ok, and these are tips to help people that maybe don't necessarily know how to wash their cars. Nothing wrong with that.
Great tutorial. I do things a little different in the wash mitt area. I use three mitts ....one for the top portion...one for the sides 3/4 way down.....and one for the remaining lower portions. Yes always in a back forth motion. Thanks for your time.
Same here. My father owns/runs an autobody/paint business and says a bucket is the worst. We use the 3 mitt technique and continually wash them out after a few panels of washing and separate the lower areas like you mentioned.
I enjoyed watching your video and will use your tips in action each time I wash my three vehicles, especially my 1993 Park Avenue. Thanks for your time and efforts.
Awesome video! I don’t have an air blower so I wash my car (truck) at night and when I’m finished washing, I take it out on the highway at high speed for a couple of miles and then dry it off with a microfiber towel. It’s not the most ideal way to do it but it does work well for me. Thanks!
You're spot on...sorta...this is actually really bad because it risks re-depositing some of those fallout particles you just spent all day scrubbing off! Grab your leaf blower in a pinch and position the exit port six or so inches from the surface to get the last drips from under the rear view mirror, grille, door sills, gas cap and so on to give your vehicle that professional touch.
People always ask me how I get my cars looking so good. I tell them I get a basic automatic car wash then I go home and bucket wash it again in my driveway. By letting the automatic do the first pass I've got the energy to focus on the details and really get it clean. It also keeps my microfiber towels and wash mittens clean because I'm not working on the worst of the dirt and road grime. I also use less cleaners and waxes. So basically, I'm doing the same thing as this guy but I'm starting off with a somewhat clean car. I'm not spending the time nor paying a professional but I'm getting professional results. People ask, I tell them, they don't believe me. Oh well.
That's smart I'm going to do this.
Lol that’s the worst thing you can do. The auto wash is on the paint when it’s dirtiest grinding in swirls
I wish more people would do videos like yours. You don’t talk about A bunch of shit that nobody cares about. Just talk about the task at hand it’s refreshing. Sick of these videos with a ramble on about their subjects that have nothing to do with the subject. Thank you keep up the good work
Wow that car looked good . Thanks for the video
Hey that's a great video! I really enjoyed watching it, and I learned some new methods. A big Like!
That GTechniq C2v3 is freaking AWESOME. I use it on my truck and it works soooo, soooo, soooo well.
Do you apply it like he did? It just seems weird to me that wiping it on and off so fast would leave anything on.
Yep. You spray it on and wipe it off. Just like a spray wax...only better.
Instead of $15 grit guard.. I went to dollar store and bought $1 baskets that fit in buckets.. cheaper and can cut if too tall for bucket. Great video.
Was waiting for this response...thx!
Walmart has 2-3 gal buckets with grit guards the stay put ( or you can tape them in)
informative. Thanks for the product suggestions too.
Great information... Thank you for sharing...
Pretty good video man , thanks
This shop = my dream garage LOL. Everything in it's place and easily accessible.
Dre G yep without a drainage system that’s the way
Guitarcovers Wtf r u talking about.. your a hater
That equipment you have is so cool. No wonder you can do that all day and not get too tired!
My technique is prehistoric- thanks for the update!
SAY WHAT?!? You guys are 2 miles from where I live! Must make an appointment for a coating!! 😁👍
Hey, Stop on by!
Physical science is no secret, but a wonderland for those interested to go beyond their own expectations
Can you be quoted?
Although, I would change it a bit (wordsmith that I am), to: "a wonderland for those interested in GOING beyond their own expectations". Nonetheless, I like it......and I'll borrow it! Thanks, cap'n.
Excellent video, thank you for taking the time and sharing
picking up new car this week, all black and I know it will take TLC to keep it good looking. i will follow your process for washing, thanks for the tips.
Dont forget the black wax
It's been a long, long while since I did a pro detail. But a couple things I was taught long before clear coat. You use a grid pattern when washing, but I was taught to use small overlapping circles following the same grid type patterns, and like you say, one panel at a time, top to bottom. This is so any hairline scratches will hopefully hide in the swirl from the hand wax (you still do those?) and are less obvious. The other thing is probably only a matter of preference and good mainly for old cars with leaky seals. But I usually float your soap off from top to bottom using as low as water pressure as will move the soap. This is to help prevent forcing water into the seals. Less mess later. Of course, use pressure when needed. But otherwise, exactly how I wash my cars. But what I haven't seen before, I do like. And that's those small screens in the bottom of your buckets. Very clever. Just curious: how many kids do you go through before you find one who actually gets it? Top down. I hope for your sake, not too many. Keep those wheels shinin, Dude!
Cleaning in a circular pattern will absolutely remove more dirt than any other motion as you're attacking the dirt from all angles. It will also absolutely leave whorls in your clear coat. Washing in broad, straight passes will still invariably scratch the paint. The difference is the way light reflects off those blemishes. When there are whorl marks, light will always catch some part of the imperfections making them visible. The mars left from straight-pass washing will only be visible when hit by light at a precise angle. Circular application of waxes and polishes are preferred only after you have prepped your paint properly and don't run the risk of dragging abrasive matter over your paint.
The blower is the secret to treating the paint as gently as possible. People who use a terrycloth towel end up swirling the paint. I also take the car around the block and try to get it up to 50 or 60 just to finish blowing water out of some of the nooks and crannies - works great.
You live on a highway?
@@johnnydrakos6407 A highway, what sort of question is that? I live in a house.
you go 60 down your block?
@@johnnydrakos6407 Oh now I understand! Actually l live in the middle of a large wooded area. About half a mile from my house the speed limit is 55 but everyone drives like hell (up to 70 or so). On a sunny day my car is dry before I can get around the block (6.5 miles). I have a 2000 BMW Z3 that turns 20 in June, and took good care of the paint right up until someone hit me. The Body Shop washed it and dried it with a towel swirling the paint. You'd think they would know better, but no. Since then I've 'clayed' it and lightly buffed it, but it doesn't have that slick mirror finish it once had. But it does look pretty good for 20 years...
I never thought to wash the wheels first, great idea. What kind of soap do you recommend for Joe average doing it in his driveway and is there anything I can use to avoid the water spots I get from my hard water coming from the hose?
Man, if my wife of 25 years cleaned house with the meticulous precision that you portray, I would eat dinner off our floors very night! Way to clean, dude! Appreciate the video.
Sugar Taster weird flex but ok..
*🌌Great😇Demonstration & passion🗺unto that Acura thank you✨*
I work at the carwash. We are doing it so wrong. Thanx for the video.
Starting a full service car wash job tomorrow morning and this might just save my life
Every place has their set ways. And every place thinks they are always right 🤣🤣
@@letsbehonest4221 that's very true but thankfully a lot of the stuff here helped, we don't use grit guards we just use a towel every two cars (making sure to fold them and use a different side once one becomes dirty) and we have a full auto car washing machine which means we really only have to worry about drying and interior work, but everything regarding tire treatment and top down drying definitely saved my ass and helped me not look like an idiot in front of my boss :)

Hey Jason, like your vids! :) Can u show us some really dirty clients car? Greasy/dusty door jambs, baked dust on wheels etc. etc. ? :)
Yes, I plan on doing a video for how to prep a car for detailing and I will make sure its really dirty.
Chicago Auto Pros I´m looking forward! :) Thank you
Toxi1555 me too
.......not me....
The shit starts at 2:26 / 13:57 => step number one is soak the dirty. I use a 180 bar and 600 liters per hour machine with zero problem and I start with Nerta WE64 or Carnet Jumbo.
Nice process thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
When it comes to washing cars, this guy really knows his stuff..thanks for sharing this Jason!
It was nice to go back and watch this video and see how it all started same way I'm at, with a bunch of SM Arnold brushes and Worx drier haha a lot of changes in about 3 years.
Very efficient wash. Like the implement of full serve car wash aspects (flojets pumping product, rinse aid, and high foam). Great shop!
Thank you.
and then i get my chicago tribune from this morning and do all the windows last. Newspaper...thats my dads secret since '65. Beautiful, streak-free windows all in all, a great video
Coffee filters as well !
An old timer at the dealership showed me that trick on my first new car--1978 Pontiac Trans Am.
Great video. Very helpful. Question - is there any special care for the microfiber towels? How frequently should they be replaced?
Thank you for the great video.
From Cali and just wanna say really enjoy ur videos. Thank you!
Thank you
I actually use a 12 bucket system and a different wash mitt for each body piece and a separate one also for window. 19 different solvents and 6 different window cleaners . 156 brushes , 1 for each spoke and tyre to prevent cross contamination
Toyota4runner TrdPro16 - there is a new essential window cleaner on the market. Now you shall need to update to 7. Sorry. I know it pushed me just over the time & budget barriers once & for all. I wish you better luck!
Amateur, if you don't use a 50 bucket system then you just don't care about quality.
actionjksn I guess not
Best car washing video I’ve seen is a while
AND ITS 3 YEARS OLD
Awesome instructive video, this guy means business
Everyone has their own way of doing things and I'm not going to junk on this video just because he does things differently than I do. However, I'd make a couple of suggestions that apply to most people (non-pros): first, use a bucket only as a collection tool. Get multiple mitts and do not use the same mitt twice on a car. The bucket method is obsolete and has been for a long time. The guy here is actually one of the few pros I've seen that still use is in some form. What saves him is that he applies the soap rather than using the bucket to get more soap -- a bad idea because the "rinse" bucket will always dilute that half way through your job. Bottom line: buckets are tools for holding things and frankly, nothing more. The second suggestion is to try multiple kinds of towels. I've never liked waffle weave. The ones I do have went into my "grunge" towels drawer. I think you only need 2 or maybe 3 kinds of MF towels -- the Costco 36 pack (you can also get on Amazon) for general use, including some use on the paint, and the Rag Co. Eagles for wax and polish removal. If you want something with a thicker nap for drying, Rag Co. or other sellers have those. For glass cleaning, huck towels. Trust me on all of this: I've gone through a LOT of towels and the set I described not only work but are simple to buy and use. Still a good wash overview video.
Thanks for sharing.. Nothing you share is a mystery and no all of us have the chemicals and pumping hoses you do. Therefore your help is limited but still I do appreciate your time making and posting your video
Noticed at first when explaining the bucket use he rung out the rinse water before going back into the wash bucket. Afterwards he went straight from rinse to wash and did not ring out the water. This is how not to do it diluting the wash water. I tried the multiple mitt method.. just a waste of time imo.
And then 2hours later it starts raining 😂
Always happen 🤣🤣🤣☔
Or the lawn mower dude blows the dust and leaves from the neighborhood. 🤣
Florida here..
i wash my cars, trucks and rv in the rain
@@srdoberman i wash them in the morning after the the rain. All the dirt is already loose from the car being wet for hours.
Great Video Jason!!
Ive seen alot of these vids and this is why the best one on here for every day person who love s there car and wants it to last top class vid thanks nice one from England uk....
Cheers brother 👊
👍Awesome. This is proof that there is more to washing my car than just spraying it with the garden hose. 🤪 Thank you. 🤗💞🤗
Great job. Just shows how amateur some places are when it comes to caring for your vehicle. Shame I'm in the UK. Need this over here right now 👍
*work panel by panel* proceeds to move on to the right fender after finishing only half of the hood (around 12:13) 😂 Haha, but forreal though this was great and super informative. Almost wish I lived nearby to come get my detailing done there! Also whoever edited the audio on this video had me cracking up so kudos to them even though i'm sure it was unintentional lmao.
I liked the vid. Washing a car is harder than people think. I usually have spots cuz I do the "crazy eights" you mentioned, lol. I won't do that again. The one thing I do though is I have a different mitt for washing the bottom of doors and panels. I learned years ago...the hard way, that you can scratch the car by using the same one. I see people complaining about all the tools you use like it's hard to get them. It's soap and wash mitts and crap, Walmart has it all. You don't NEED a pressure washer, a hose works.
what hydrophobic agent do you use and the only thing i would say is lower the pressure on your snowfoam gun it sounded like it was hitting the paint hard and wasnt completely covering the body of the car 2nd thing is on your blower put a flat nozzle on the end as it will displace the airflow quicker.
Any spray wax will do.
Read the video details and product list.
Matthew Toon don’t use spray wax if you prepare it properly use a high quality ceramic coating that will last about a year give the car a silky finish and will repel water like crazy but make sure your car is at the point you want it, you clay barred it, polished it, and you removed any old wax with isopropyl alcohol before coating it because the coat will hold in everything you didn’t remove for a long time. I know I just spewed info at you but I hope I could help!
And, just to piggyback off of @Matthew Toon...is the homophobic agents you use to clean the vehicles environmentally safe?
I keep my cars and motorcycle in plastic bags too! 😁👍
I don't drive mine;stays really clean.
I use a separate mitt for the bottom of the car. Also if the car is being washed outside when it's warm, the wash and rinse should be done separately on each side and the roof even if that take s more time. Tar remover like autoglym provides is something I always have on hand and at least once a year I'd use a clay bar to deep clean first and get a smooth surface. The water laying flat on the car in the video shows that the car is in need of waxing. There are other points but then here in the UK we might seem to be a bit obsessive compared to USA car manual car washes :)
Thanks for video. What is the drying agent you prayed that boosts hydrophobic action?
