Welcome back to the Detail Garage.
So we've still got the Tesla in the shop,
this car hasn't been detailed in at least
four months so it has debris sitting on the
paintwork.
If you look closely you can see there is bee
poop and pollen that are etching the paintwork
so we're going to use Citrus Wash & Gloss
to get that shine back.
We've already started by cleaning the interior
to get rid of any filth and we've already
protected the leather and carpets.
We've begun our detail by cleaning the wheels
because they are by far the dirtiest areas
from brake dust and grime from driving.
To get started we have our two buckets set
up here.
We'll be using the Foam Blaster 6 and some
Citrus Wash & Gloss.
Before we get started I'll place the Dirt
Traps in each bucket.
Two different colors so we can coordinate
which is our rinse and which is our wash bucket.
I"ll place one in our wash bucket, placing
it in at an angle to prevent any air getting
trapped underneath it this way it creates
a perfect seal to prevent dirt coming back
up through the cones.
We'll also place our second Dirt Trap in our
rinse bucket.
Press it all the way against the bottom and
let it settle so it creates that seal reducing
scratches by keeping the filth in the bucket.
Now that we have our Dirt Traps in place we'll
add about an ounce of Citrus Wash & Gloss
to our bucket.
Just shaking it up to mix the concentrate
together.
I'll squirt about an ounce into the bucket.
While we're here we'll also load up the Foam
Blaster 6.
This is a little trick, using warm water helps
create more foam and thicker suds.
Now I'll reattach the top.
So now that I have reattached the top I'll
shake it up to mix it all together and while
we're add it we'll activate the suds in our
wash bucket.
Just using the hose I'll spray directly into
the bucket.
Now that the bucket is activated we can started
rinsing down the car.
Starting at the highest point we'll help knock
off all the loose heavier dirt that can scratch
the paint and then we can start working around
the vehicle with the foaming process.
So after rinsing down the car you can see
it is super wet right now and that knocked
off all the loose dirt and debris so now we'll
attach the Foam Blaster.
It has a built in brass quick connect that
attaches to the nozzle.
Just pull back on the sleeve and it attaches
so we'll be ready to start foaming.
Starting from the top just like we did when
we were rinsing down the vehicle we're going
to produce the foaming action to safely get
all the filth off the surface and then using
the wash pad we'll come back to scrub off
any of the stubborn areas.
Now that the car is all soaped up we're going
to take our Wash Pad.
This is our dual sided wash pad that has dreads
on one side and a scrubbing sponge on the
other and it has a built in strap which prevents
us from dropping it and also making it easier
to maneuver around the vehicle.
I'll just grab some soapy foam, the foam cleans
and removes all the grime and debris while
adding lubrication so we don't add any new
scratches or swirls.
Again, we're going to start at the top at
the highest point and working in straight
lines taking off all the grime for a perfect
shine.
As you wash you'll collect all that grime
and debris and this is when you go to your
second bucket, place it in and press it against
the Dirt Trap.
This is going to release all the grime and
debris that was on the vehicle putting it
underneath those cones and preventing it from
returning to the vehicle.
Then we'll take it outside of the bucket and
wring it out on the ground.
This is further preventing any of that grime
from coming back onto the car and scratching.
Now we'll go back to the wash bucket and keep
on washing.
So you guys see that Citrus Wash & Gloss,
even at a low concentration, can still produce
tons of suds to cut through all that grime
and debris.
Now we're going to start rinsing it off so
we don't create any water spots or staining.
So now that the car is rinsed off we need
to start drying it, using one of our large
microfiber towels we'll pick up all that water
without streaking and since this towel has
a silk banded edge we won't have to worry
about installing new scratches or swirls.
We'll start here on the hood and blotching
out the towel, you can see this car has a
wax on it so it is sheeting nicely, but to
remove the excess water we'll pull it off
with our towel.
So there you have it, Citrus Wash & Gloss
took care of all that grime that built up
over the long road trip.
The car looks amazing, we're going to finish
drying it off.
