Try Rinseless wash

@rooboy99

3 ай бұрын

A pressure washer is not a necessity. Maybe try an IK foamer instead for a presoak and bucket wash after that. If you're washing every week, how dirty is the car? If only minimal dirt, then rinseless wash

@jesseviers487

3 ай бұрын

Yeah if you wash once a week, you can use rinseless wash for everything! Also if you don’t have wheels for your bucket, you can put it at the front of your car so that you are closer to it when you are doing 3 out of 4 sides of the vehicle!

Hi from the UK, I'm just loving the interaction between you guys and the information just keeps flowing. It's great so please keep it up :) I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer for me please: 1. I have a new car which came with Autoglym LifeShine already applied. Would your 8 year coating bond to that or would I be better to have the LifeShine removed 2. I have just watched "What's the difference between Quick Beads & Ceramic Gloss" and wonder why I would apply any coating at all if I used Ceramic Gloss at every wash. Kind regards Stan

@diydetailofficial

3 ай бұрын

Stan, you would need to polish before applying any other coatings. DIY Detail Quick Beads and DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss, while great are not full replacements for a true coating.

Yes my 1st time using quick beads I used half the bottle, did it in the dark too. Learned a very valuable lesson that I think only polishing will fix lol. Learning as I go and will not make that mistake again

@diydetailofficial

3 ай бұрын

Try spraying Quick Beads on your towel and applying it to the affected areas (best to wash car again and do this on clean paint)…it might fix those streaking issues otherwise yes a light polish will do the trick. But try qb on a towel first

A thing that I've found useful when washing a car alone is to wash the wheels at the end and reuse the wash solution in the single bucket I used for the car body, which is already filled with soap.

Do what works for you! People often do wheels first because when you spray them down it can get what was on your wheel and wheel well back onto the paint

One of my biggest limitations is I’m on a steep driveway, so no tools with wheels. LOL. I do place the 5 Gal wash bucket on each corner of the vehicle (ahead of my progress). I dream of the day my house has a flat driveway and maybe a custom garage bay setup for car detailing. Thanks for the tips guys. Oh, the other thing I’ve done for myself, which might help you…is I typed up the steps for the average wash in a Word document, including the tools, products and steps needed to setup and clean up afterwards. So I don’t lose track of what optional treatments I can do, like cleaning the door jams, etc. I found it very helpful to have the reference and also to help me be more efficient with my vehicle washing.

I second this idea. Being in New England where winter sees lots of road treatments. Currently I use P&S Mud Buster in an IK Foam Pro 12 to pretreat then rinse well with an under carrage pressure washer attachment. Eastwood and other companies also sell a salt neutralizer/wash product.

For the towels. With ceramic gloss. Etc. once you soak them in rinse less wash. Can you let them dry and wait for the wash weeks later with other towels.

+1 on the Walmart bucket dollies. The smaller casters even help in my situation with 75 feet of driveway that's down hill to the road. They might not roll as easy but I don't have to chase the buckets. Another tip especially if you're tight on storage space is get a 3 gallon bucket and a cheap bucket seat. This turns the dollies into a cheap rolling chair. Then all the buckets and dollies can stack into one pile. I use Grit Gards and other smaller buckets inside when stacked to let air flow and keep them from sticking together.

Lifted jeeps and trucks with tire dressing are hilarious.
