- What's up, chemical guys and girls?
Welcome back to the
Chemical Guys Newbie series.
If you were with us last
episode, we basically finished up
the entire exterior of my car with Nick.
We ended up using some Cherry Wet Wax.
If you didn't see that episode,
go back and check it out.
It's awesome.
There's a romantic montage in there.
We got your cheesy 80's
training montage in this one,
so stick around for that.
Give it a fat thumbs up
and let's get started.

So today, I've kind of
exhausted all of my options
in terms of what I can do
to the exterior of this car.
We're going to  go inside.
We're going to  hit the interior,
so I'm going to  go grab Joey,
see where he's at and
hopefully, he can help me
figure out what first steps I can take
to make my interior lookin' really spiffy.
All right, guys.
I got my car set up, ready to go
and I'm going to  go find Joey.
Looks like he's right over here, actually.
- Clayman, man, no!
Hold on, hold on!
No, Clayman!
- [Jason] What's up, Joey?
- Oh.
Hey, what's up, man?
I was just checking out
your latest video there.
- [Jason] Strawberries? Nice.
- Yeah, just a little
afternoon snack, you know?
- [Jason] Sweet.
Hey.
- Yeah?
- [Jason] Nick basically taught me
how to do all my exterior.
- Okay?
- [Jason] And I've run out
of exterior things to do, so.
- Sounds like you gotta
do some interior stuff,
if it sounds like to me.
- [Jason] That's exactly
what that sounds like.
So, I was hoping I can enlist you
to help me and teach me the
ways of the interior detailing.
- All right, let's get to it then.
- [Jason] Cool.
- Man, what'd you do on this?
- [Jason] Oh, we did a
little Cherry Wet Wax
the last episode.
- Man, that's really wet
if you ask me, right there.
- [Jason] Wet Mirror.
- Wet Mirror Finish?
- [Jason] Wet Mirror Finish.
- That's it.
- [Jason] And Cherry Wet Wax.
- [Joey] Dude, this thing is super smooth.
It's like, as smooth as a cherry.
- [Jason] Oh baby.
- [Joey] Mm.
Love it.
- How smooth is a cherry?
- [Joey] I don't know.
You ever touch a cherry?
They're pretty smooth.
They look smooth, right?
- Okay.
- Okay, okay.
- [Jason] So, I guess, my guess
is that we should probably
start with the mats here, because they--
- [Joey] Yeah.
- [Jason] You know, I
step on 'em all day long.
They got crumbs and
filth and stuff on 'em.
- Yeah, man.
The good thing is that your
car is relatively brand-new,
so I mean, it doesn't look
like there's much neglect
on like, the door panels
or the seats here.
I mean, it looks like you just, you know,
you go hiking or I don't know
where you go stepping in.
Just, you know, hop back into your car
and get all that filth in there, so.
We're definitely going to  go ahead
and have to address those
floor mats right there.
- So what would be like,
the first step here?
You don't work on the floor
mats inside the car, right?
- I mean, I wouldn't, just
because you want to make sure
you get all that stuff out the car.
We're going to  pull it out the car
so we can clean it outside of the car,
so that we don't keep
that filth in the car.
- That's a great idea.
I don't want to keep that
filth in the car at all.
(Joey laughs)
So like, as a newbie, what,
I have no idea what to
even clean this with,
like what do I need?
- I mean--
- To get started,
in terms of product.
- The good thing
about your floor mats is
that they're, you know,
they don't have 20
years of neglect on 'em.
You know, they don't
look all dirty and grimy
or anything like that, so if anything,
they can do with a nice
just shampoo cleaning.
We'll  pull them out,
vacuum them and use a, you know,
a fabric cleaner, so just Fabric Clean.
That's a citrus-based shampoo,
that's going to   you
know, remove all that dirt.
- All right, so I guess
I'll pull this out.
Hold the camera.
- [Joey] My first time behind the camera.
- Really?
Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
- Let's see, all right.
- Just make sure to grab it.
- Oh, wow.
There's a lot of other stuff here.
Should we vacuum this as well?
That's probably a good step, right?
- [Joey] Yeah, just make
sure whenever you take
your floor mats out, kind of hold them
so that they don't, you
know, drop all that dirt.
- [Jason] Kinda like this?
- [Joey] Yeah, exactly.
- Okay.
- So kind of, I guess--
- [Jason] Man, it's all in there too.
Look at all those like, leaves and stuff.
- [Joey] Ew, where do you go stepping?
(Jason laughs)
Where do you live?
- [Jason] In the forest.
- So, the first step with any detailing,
especially when it comes to interior,
is to give the interior a vacuum.
So you want to make sure that we get
as much of that filth out as we can,
so that whenever we pursue a clean
of the rest of the interior,
that stuff doesn't get
all baked onto the floor,
so that we're not, you
know, going back and forth.
Vacuuming, you know,
cleaning the dashboard,
coming back to vacuum.
So, vacuum it first and vacuum
it last for best results.
- Okay, cool.
So, I guess people could
just use a regular vacuum
in their car if they don't
have like, a shop vac, maybe?
- Exactly.
- Yeah, okay.
- Even if you have to go to a car wash
and just vacuum it
there, then just do that.
- That's right.
Yeah, those little coin-op car washes.
- Yeah.
- You could just,
I used to do that all the time.
- Exactly.
- [Jason] So I guess, is
this the vacuum over here?
I'll just grab this thing.
- Actually, no, that's just a blower.
Yeah, so, I mean, we can use that to kinda
dust out the floor mat.
- Oh, blower?
- But yeah.
- [Jason] Yeah, nevermind.
That's...
(laughter)
That's a newbie mistake.
- Yeah, so we'll  grab the vacuum,
not the blower, and we'll go ahead
and vacuum those floor mats.
- [Jason] Great idea.
- All right, so now that
we've vacuumed the floor mat,
I do see that you do
have a lot of pet hairs.
Do you own a pet, Jason?
- Oh boy, do I ever, Joey.
I've got two cats and if you
saw that newbie at home video,
you saw how much hair gets
collected on everything.
It's ridiculous.
- Yeah, so right off the bat,
as I was vacuuming the carpet,
I found it very difficult
to kind of vacuum
some of the areas, simply
because we have a lot
of that pet hair that's embedded
within the fibers of the floor mat here.
- [Jason] Yup.
- [Joey] So, one cool
product that I like to use
whenever something like this comes up
is our pet hair remover brush.
- [Jason] Nice.
- Now, this brush, as you already know,
you've already used it.
This brush works out great at pulling off
all these, you know, pet hairs
and kinda balling them
up into one section,
so you can just kinda grab them right off.
Sometimes, the vacuum that you're using
doesn't have that much power.
Pain in the butt to kinda like, clean it
when all that hair just
doesn't want to come off.
So this right here, it's a great tool
to  you know, pick that all up,
so that you don't have to
struggle with your vacuum
to try to vacuum it out.
- It definitely works
really well on cat towers,
I'll tell you that.
(Joey laughs)
(bright music)
- I'm going to   continue
with the floor mat.
I'm going to   pull off all this pet hair
that's embedded in the fabric.
And then we'll be back once it's done.
Look at that shine.
- [Jason] Look at that shine.
(Joey laughs)
- I had to throw that in there.
(Jason laughs)
All right, cool.
So, as you guys see, we've
vacuumed the floor mat
and now it's time to clean it.
Now, I know you're looking
at this floor mat saying,
"What the heck are you doing?
"That floor mat's not even dirty."
Well, that's what you would think, right?
Just because it's black.
You know, if this were a
beige floor mat or like,
a tan floor mat, you would definitely
see all the dirt and grime.
But since it's black, you don't
really necessarily see it.
So, we're going to   clean it
with Fabric Clean right now.
Like I told you, Fabric Clean,
it's a citrus-based shampoo,
so that's going to   extract
any kind of embedded grime,
foul odors and any kinda dirt
that's embedded within the
fibers of those fabrics.
So right here in front of us,
we have an assortment of products,
the main of which is going to
 be Fabric Clean right there.
Now like I told you
guys, that's the shampoo.
I also have some water as well.
I have a secondary dilution sprayer bottle
and I also have a nifty brush,
along with some yellow
workhorse towels there.
Now, all these products
we're going to   use
come in this format.
To  start off with, we're
going to  go to start off
with our secondary
dilution sprayer bottle.
And we're going to   take off our top.
And we're going to   dilute Fabric Clean
into our sprayer bottle right here.
- [Jason] So, why do you dilute that?
- Well, simply because it's a shampoo.
So, if you were to just
pour this on your fabric,
you'd be there all day
trying to take it out.
- [Jason] Okay, so basically--
- So you want to make sure you dilute it,
get that cleaning power.
I mean, you don't need a
thick shampoo to do the job
because this is what I like to consider
more of a spot clean.
So, this is going to  be
more so, kinda like a,
you know, a quick cleaning.
Not really so much of
a full, deep cleaning.
I mean, we can if we
wanted to but you know,
the floor mats aren't
that dirty, like I said.
They just have like, dirt
embedded within the fibers,
so we're just going to   extract that.
All these products, you know,
they're hyper-concentrated,
so you can always dilute them.
You know, to put that in perspective,
Fabric Clean, you can
actually dilute up to 20:1
for general purpose cleaning,
or up to 8:1 for heavy-duty cleaning.
- [Jason] Cool.
- So, depending on the level of cleaning
that you're looking for, you
can dilute it different ways.
- [Jason] What dilution
ratio are we doing today?
- So, for this dilution
ratio on this floor mat,
I would say 20:1 would
be more than sufficient.
And as you guys can see right here
on my secondary dilution sprayer bottle,
you see that 20:1 ratio right there?
- Yeah.
- That's pretty much
where we're going to   fill
up our Fabric Clean to.
So as you guys can see, it's
not a lot of product at all,
compared to what the water's going to  be,
the ratio's going to  be
all the way up to the top.
- [Jason] That's cool,
so this dilution bottle
basically already has all the ratios--
- Exactly.
- Measured out for you.
So, you can--
- [Joey] Yeah, so you have the dilution--
- [Jason] 20:1, 16:1,
10:1, so on and so forth.
Cool.
So basically, we're going
to  fill the product
up to that 20:1 line.
- Exactly.
- And then fill
the rest of it to water.
- [Joey] Exactly.
Have it upright so you have the
best dilution rate possible.
And you're just going to  go ahead
and pour that into the 20:1 line.
Just like that.
Two good squirts and we're done.
- [Jason] We filled it to 20:1.
And you can go up to 8:1
for this type of a cleaning?
- Yeah, so you can  fill it up to 8:1
if you want more of a heavy-duty cleaning.
But like I said, this is just going to  be
our general cleaning, so
we're just going to  keep it
at that 20:1 ratio.
- [Jason] Cool.
- So now that that's all
filled up to the 20:1,
I'm going to   fill up
the rest with water here.
I try not to make a mess.
- [Jason] Does it matter
what kinda water you use or?
- Yeah, so we're using distilled water
and that's simply because, you know,
we recommend using distilled water
whenever we dilute any of these products
because distilled water doesn't have
any minerals or anything like that,
so it's not going to 
interfere with your work.
So, especially when you're diluting like,
a wheel cleaner or something like that,
you want to make sure that
you use that distilled water
because, you know, if
you're using mineral water,
those minerals can, you know,
etch the surface of your wheel.
So, you want to make sure that
the water that you're using
is purified and it doesn't
have any minerals in it.
Once you guys are done with that,
you can  put your sprayer
top nozzle back on it.
Twist that on.
Shake it up.
You know, don't give it like a,
what was that, an aggressive shake?
- [Jason] I would call that
an aggressive shake, yeah.
- Yeah, don't bust a Darla and kill Nemo
or anything like that.
- There you go.
- Just give it a nice stir,
just to kinda mix the
product with the water.
And you've got your, you know,
Fabric Clean 20:1 ratio good to go.
- [Jason] Stir it up!
- So, we're going to  
set that towards the side.
Set our Fabric Clean towards the side.
Look, check that out.
We still have a ton more Fabric Clean.
We can actually probably get
about one, two, three, four,
you know, four more bottles full,
just from one bottle of Fabric Clean.
- [Jason] Wow.
And we're probably not even
going to  use all of this
that's in the container either, huh?
- We're probably even
going to  just spend like,
that much amount of product
to clean the floor mat.
- [Jason] You could use this
a bunch of times on its own
and then have refills for days.
- Exactly.
- [Jason] Refills for days!
(Joey laughs)
- All right.
So, now that we have our
Fabric Clean ready to go
and our floor mat cleaned,
now it's time to actually
deep clean it with the Fabric Clean.
So, the way I like to use this product
is you want to make sure to
give it a nice, even coat.
You don't want to drench it,
you just want to give it a nice fan coat.
Oh, let me get that sprayer trick in.
I'ma get that going on right there.
So, spray a nice coat
throughout the entire surface
of the floor mat.
Like I said, you don't want to drench it.
You just want to make sure you
get it all nice and covered.
So, once you've got it
all nice and covered,
now's the time to grab
your nifty carpet brush.
Now, the reason I'm using this brush
is because it has a nice, stiff
bristle, you know, texture.
So, this stiff bristles
is going to  allow us
to  scrub deep within
the fibers of the carpet,
so that we get all that dirt and grime
extracted outta there.
So, that's going to  work
out great at deep cleaning.
I'm also going to  spray the
brush right here as well,
just to get that added
lubrication and cleaning power.
And then, all we're simply going to  do
is just, you know, go in left
to right motions, up and down.
Whatever you feel more comfortable with.
This is going to   start breaking
all the grime that's in there.
Like I said, it's citrus-based,
so you're going to  have kind of like,
a citrusy kinda scent hit you.
- [Jason] Yeah, I smell
it, it smells great.
- Yeah, it does.
And it also, like I said, it
cleans any kind of, you know,
foul odors that are, you know, penetrative
deep within the fibers of your fabric,
so that it gets rid of it.
You know, especially for
people that get like,
throw up in their car, get
like, nasty smells in there.
This is a really great way to go ahead
and take care of that.
- [Jason] Yeah.
- [Joey] Just by simply
cleaning your carpets.
- Uber drivers, get at this.
I know you're working late nights
and you got that stuff in your car.
- It does an excellent job at
cleaning out those foul odors.
And it doesn't really
take much time at all.
All right, so now we're going to  go ahead
and grab our yellow workhorse towel.
Now, the reason we use yellow
is because we dedicate
yellow for interior cleaning.
So, such as if you're cleaning
your dashboard, door panels,
you know, fabric and upholstery,
yellow works out great so
that you can see the grime
that's being removed from the surfaces
that you're working on.
- [Jason] So, we're
going to  take this towel
and now--
- We're going to  take this towel
and now, we're just simply
going to , you know--
- [Jason] Pick up all the grime
that we just irritated
outta there with the brush.
- [Joey] Check that out.
I barely did this little section.
Look at all that dirt and grime.
- [Jason] Oh my gosh.
My feet are filthy.
- So like I said, maybe
because you don't see it,
right there and then, it doesn't
mean that it doesn't exist.
- [Jason] Yeah.
- So, just from that
little section right there,
we've extracted all that dirt and grime.
I would kinda like, flip the pile upwards
but it's kinda nasty, I don't know
where you've been stepping, man.
- [Jason] Yeah, man.
(Joey laughs)
I don't know.
- [Joey] So, I'm just going to  go ahead
and continue with buffing this stuff off.
- [Jason] Should you wear
gloves when you do this?
- [Joey] We probably
should've worn gloves.
(Joey laughs)
But, check it out.
It's just nice and simple.
Check out all that grime.
- Wow.
So much grime.
- And you would think that just
because we wiped it all off,
you would think it's all gone.
But check this out.
A pro tip for you guys that have sensitive
fabric floor mats, I would
say grab your nifty brush
and wrap your towel around it.
That's going to  create a
nicer and softer texture,
while still keeping that nice,
kinda massaging feature from the brush.
So this technique, we usually, you know,
we use it around the shop all the time.
Give it two light sprays.
Like I said, this is
also going to  extract
any kind of embedded
grime that's on there.
And anything that we didn't really get,
just by rubbing the surface
of the fabric with the towel.
So like I said, that massaging texture
is going to  dig deep within
the fibers of this upholstery.
So, not only do we get the surface
but we also get the stuff
that's embedded in there.
- [Jason] It is looking deeper black
than it was before, as well.
- Check it out.
- Wow.
That is...
Okay.
- [Joey] (laughs) It's not good.
- [Jason] No.
I mean, it is good.
- I guess, I guess,
that's the beauty.
- It is good, it's clean now.
(Joey laughs)
- I guess that's the beauty
of having black floor mats,
is that you can tell.
But, you know, it is
definitely well worth it
when you do clean them, because
then you get all this grime
that you never thought was there
but you know, it truly was.
- [Jason] And you're basically
freshening your car too.
- Exactly, so that citrus smell,
that's going to   kind of,
you know, circulate throughout
the rest of your car,
so you get a nice,
fresh, zesty lemon scent.
Didn't take much time at all.
I know it probably took me
like, 10 minutes to explain it
but I mean, in a real-life scenario,
this takes no longer than
two minutes, you know?
- Well, the good news is we're
going to  see how long it takes
because even though I'm a newbie,
I've gotta train for this.
So, it's time for the
80's training montage
where I clean the second mat.
So, here we go.
You guys asked for it.
And here it is.
(bright music)
I can't do it, Joey!
- What are you doing?
Put your heart into it!
(bright music)
- It's too hard!
- Keep going!

- [Jason] Yeah, with like--
- [Joey] Nice, spiffy
carpet, as you would say.
- [Jason] Alternating piles, I like it.
It's great.
- [Joey] Looks good.
- So, I'll show you what
this looked like before.
And now, after.
It looks great.
I guess that's it for today's episode.
- Well, yeah, that's it with the fabric.
So, we still gotta address
some of the other areas
of your interior.
- So yeah, we're going to  work
on the other interior parts,
which we'll talk about
in the next episode.
