dirty

ok so i look around the vehicle and i feel like this car exemplifies exactly what fun it is to drive in the winter here in canada because every square inch of this thing is absolutely hand cleaned with pink dirt and salt, especially in the rear where it's hard to tell what color you're now moving towards the inside and it is immediately clear that this vehicle is in need of a serious

deep

cleaning

as there is dirt and debris everywhere you look, the carpets and seats are very

dirty

ly transform this vehicle so sit back relax and enjoy so while I get started on the pre wash rinse I thought I would let you know that I recently purchased an electric pressure washer because i was getting tired of having to open garage doors for my honda to run out so the unit i bought is a Bertolini 110 volt pressure washer that has two and a half horsepower and 1,900 PSI and although not It's as strong as my Honda, it does such a good job.

I've used it on the last few details I've done and I've been really impressed so if any of you were curious I'll leave the link down in the description moving back here and where most of the dirt is and how I know so many of you watching these videos really enjoy watching power washing i thought i would let you know i just posted a power washing compilation video on the second channel its nothing but power washing all the dirtiest vehicles which I've done in the last few months so go check that out after this video if you're interested now if any of you were I'm wondering what kind of rims are these because I feel like they can only be common here in Canada they are black steel rims and usually used for winter tires because they are so cheap I'm pretty sure most sizes are well under 100 bucks each and then having the tires mounted makes switching to winter tires make it so much easier now the easiest way to clean these door jams is to spray them with a pressure washer and for anyone who might be a little wary of doing this just be nice and come up with the wand and hold a steep angle and if you're careful you can keep the interior absolutely dry and save yourself a ton of time now back to the wheels here and because these rooms were already very rusty and the paint was peeling.

I didn't want to risk damaging them further with my wheel brush, so I opted to leave them on for now and I'll make sure they're nice and clean. when I dry the vehicle later it's ok so I coat the vehicle in foam then I'll go with a woods hair detail brush and use it to lift any trapped dirt out of the crevices and get behind the gas door where it won't i can reach with my wash guy according to drip drying the vehicle a bit i'll turn to these dirty mats spray them first then use a pc and soft brush to get them nice and clean so with all the personal items of the customers removed from the vehicle its time to start vacuuming and the first thing I'm going to do is go through all the doors and interior trim and go down into the crevices to get all the dust out with a force hair detail brush and these are very handy to get into cup holders or door handles or impossible to reach with a vacuum, so for the more delicate areas that are more prone to scratches, I'll use the ultra-soft brush to gently loosen any dust so it can be removed if any of you curious where you can get these detailed factory brushes.

I have the link in the description so feel free to check it out if you're interested now, no matter what vehicle I've always worked on. my way from top to bottom when i'm vacuuming and usually back to front with the seats and the carpets and with the seats it's always important to stretch out the scenes as that's where the dirt likes to hide now you can tell there was a bit A bit of hair on the carpets and I thought I'd go get the Lily brush but I saw how easily the vacuum picked it up, honestly it wasn't bad enough the hair really wasn't embedded in the fibers and it could be vacuumed up without much effort, so I probably mentioned that earlier, but as I vacuum, I make a mental note of where the dirtiest areas of the vehicle are and think about exactly how I want to attack them.

Later obviously I'll be using Bissell on these carpets but for other areas where there's a lot of dirt I'm already making a game plan in my head of what I'm going to use in each area here's everything the vacuum sucked up Honestly this car is more than Which I thought would have been fine so I started with these dirty seats and the only advice I have for removing the seats while inside the vehicle is to recline the front seats as far back as possible. So it will give you better access to the console side of the seat and also make it easier for you to see what you're doing now after you've sprayed something like carpet solution.

I am using the drill brush to agitate and remove the dirt. loosened up and then starting with the extractor I'm going to make several passes over the seat and continue to spray water to help further dilute the remaining solution and I've probably said that before but when you're extracting on the seats you need to make sure I'm pressing down with quite a bit of force on the last couple of passes to make sure it's compressing the foam underneath so it can get as much water out as possible and if you're curious as to what I'm using here or where I can get it.

I have the link to the carpet solution, drill brushes and extractor in the description so feel free to check it out as all this equipment is very reasonably priced and works amazingly well. after seat takeover and honestly it looks brand new ok moving onto the mats and despite the rubber mats there are still some really dirty spots so the process is exactly the same as for the seats, with the exception that I'm going to I usually use a little more solution on the carpet, since the padding under the carpet is very thin, so it's much easier to make sure it's dry when I'm done to extract, so one of the questions they ask me is if I put the solution. the bissell or not and the answer is no i just use hot water in the tank and the reason for this is because i pre-treated it with a solution so if i had a solution in the tank i would constantly add more solution when i spray i really dont do it would make some sense, so using only hot water gives me the ability to further dilute any remaining solution so I can be sure I can get everything out. the interior trim and using a dab of my McGuire D 101 All Purpose Cleaner diluted 10 to 1, I will clean each surface with a damp microfiber towel using a detail brush where necessary and then immediately wipe away any APC residue on the hood.

Console here was really dirty so instead of scrubbing it just for the towel, I'm using the steamer to help loosen that dirt and it's able to clean it in a fraction of the time. I think I mentioned it in the last video as well, but that's really the beauty of having a tool as versatile as this McCulloch steamer is that you can use it in so many different ways throughout your vehicle or even around your home. you're in the market for one the link is in the description along with pretty much every other product and tool i use so feel free to check it out if you're interested now to really make the interior pop and give it some UV I'm using my favorite product and that's 303 aerospace protectant which will dry to a nice matte finish and leave the whole interior looking amazing now i'm changing things up a bit and using a little bit of this Wolfgang silica spray which will give the paint a little added shine and it's also very easy to apply all you have to do is spray it on then wipe it off immediately with a microfiber towel turning the towel over for final

cleaning

now the bottle says this can last up to six months but, of course that will vary depending on the environment and conditions the vehicle sees but a silica spray like this definitely makes a good substitute if you can't use a ceramic coating as those are a bit more expensive second last step here is to dress the outer plastic trim of the block and UV protect it with 303 and as you can see it does a great job of reviving the faded outer plastics okay guys and nine hours later I have the Santa Fe
