Mike here, I have followed for about 5 months now but havent spoken much. Absolutely love the channel! I often tune in during my late week nights of studying and weekends of studying during the day - as I am now. The channel is an awesome hang out for the long days with my head in the books. As you know, very close to finishing pharmacy school. Torn between the grandsport, audi r8, porsche boxster, and jaguar f type! I will say that your channel makes me lean towards becoming a chevy man! Enjoy your labor day weekend brotha - Mike!
bmx687 glad to see you working hard to become something in life. So many people look for the easy road but you are grinding it out and much respect to you. Those are all amazing cars you have mentioned and I must admit I am a little biased when saying the Corvette is a total experience and the people in its community are as priceless as the cars. Well done mike and much success to you after school. 👍🏻👍🏻
Really enjoy your videos on washing and maintaining your corvette. I have already bought all the products you use for the inside, looking forward to trying the outside ones as well. Keep up the great videos!
2009 NC Miata: Rinse, Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash, rinse, Dry with Micro Fiber towel, Meguiar's Black Detail. For Waxing time I use Meguiar's Black Magic Paste Wax. Shines like a mirror!
I was fumbling my phone around and clicked this video on accident, but I'm glad I did. Thanks for the wheels first tip, makes total sense. I consider myself borderline OCD but can't imagine how much a year you hardcore detail gurus spend on supplies and products. Ballpark annual cost for this sort of treatment? Thanks for being enjoyable to listen to, it's a dying quality. You managed to keep me around for the full fifteen minutes with no prior intention of even watching a detail video!
I didn't want black until I keep seeing yours!!! The C7 Stingray that belongs to Dustin near the end, is that Torch Red or Long Beach Red? Thanks for your videos. I'm still hoping to buy a C7.
Hi, the color of the car is crystal red metallic tintcoat. The color looks different in many different ways, ie sun, no sun, shade, overcast, etc..... Dustin
Great info on the video Chuck. Appreciate the car wash tips. Look forward to hearing what you use in between car washes. Or when you get back from a ride as far as a quick detailer. Go Pats!!
I used Chemical guys for a long time on my 2015 Mustang. Now I use Optimum products. I use No Rinse soap. Just spray the car off, wash it with No rinse and wipe it off. They have an excellent detailer gloss enhancer for a drying aid. I buy it at the Rag Company online
I use the Opti-bond wheel dressing, good stuff! Also, the Rag Co has the cheapest and best microfibers you can get. I've been getting all my towels from them for a while now :) Gary Deans Infinite Use Detail Juice is awesome detail spray as well, in the case your're unfamiliar with it.
I don't get the two bucket method. I use the one microfiber pad per panel method. Got to wash it when I'm done, so I might as well wash 10 and not risk putting dirt on the vehicle.
I believe the two bucket method allows you to rinse the debris that might scratch the paint or clear coat from the washing brush or mitt. Wash a small section of the car and rinse. Repeat.
After the dirt is washed off with the microfiber towel and you drop it in the soup soap bucket and rewash another area, you are actually risking applying the old dirt and rubbing/scratching into your car and damaging the paint. So you rinse the towel in clean water bucket. Then drop it in the soap bucket and repeat. It didn't make sense to me either at first. Your welcome, Patti
I get the reason why people use 2 buckets, I just think it's flawed. It's not like the dirt instantly falls to the bottom and doesn't get stirred-up when you put the wash pad in the rinse bucket. I bet there is just as much dirt in the soap bucket as there is in the rinse bucket when you're done.
Thanks for taking the time to record/prep/share this video. Great work on all your vids. Being a first time 'vette owner (2017 black grand sport), your knowledge/information has helped me a bunch. Keep up the great work :)
Jeff you are very welcome and thank you for supporting the channel. Congratulations on the New GS I am a huge fan of them as you can tell my camera has a tendency to go towards those guys in my vette club that have them. 😁. Enjoy that ride!!!
Great video Corvettes 918. Im totally going to use the leaf blower method. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. You're my hero! do you check your oil level, coolant color and other stuff yourself?
I am planning to order a 2018 Z06 shortly after the first of the year, unless I decide to wait a little longer to see what happens with the ZR1. I discovered your channel while researching Z06’s and have been watching a lot of your past videos. They are well done, very informative and have helped me greatly as I was deciding how I want to set mine up and care for it afterwards. I had no choice but to subscribe to your channel so I’m new here. Thanks for the time you take to put out a lot of good, useful information. Since I can’t drive my Z06 yet, I’ll have to be content in watching you drive yours! (I tried to posting previously but never saw it appear so I hope this is not a duplicate.)
Welcome Paul very honored to have you. I am also waiting on the ZR1 revile to see what my next step is. If I don't get a ZR1 I will be adding a ZL1 1LE to my channel most likely. That and my current Z06 should make for some good content. Enjoy the ride until you get yours and then the fun will truly begin.
This video was an experiment on how people view titles/thumbnails and their expectations on a video. Some will watch and feel slighted because they clicked wanting to see a destructive impact on the car and others will watch and see a great looking Ceramic coated car after a wash. This is proving out to be correct by looking at the likes vs dislikes. You can hate but don't use profanity or harsh wording because video is censored and UA-cam will block your comment. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed welcome. 👍🏻
I didn't necessarily expect to see damage, but I did expect to see the foam have some effect. What I saw was the foam doing absolutely nothing special, and I did feel slighted. Clickbait is a horrible disease that cheapens your brand, and I warn against it.
Personally I think it would take a bitter and spiteful individual to want to see a negative outcome. I haven't watched the video yet, but this looks like a snow foam type product, and I love those types of minimal contact required cleaning products, so I was hoping to see a happy car owner enjoying his shiny car, and maybe finding out about a new product in the process. (I am strange, I enjoy finding out about car and bike cleaning).
Thanks for posting this video - I learned three useful tips.. Wheels first - wish I'd known that before👍 How to fill my foam cannon without making a big mess👌 Move the drying towel in one direction😎 So... thanks for taking the time to post it 👍😎
Chuck, Another nice video. Learned a few little things. I am ordering that canon this week. Its just too cool. Totally random, noticed your truck in the background and the phone #. My home number (land line...lol) growing up was 893-5050, small world. Have a blessed week my friend.
Mr Pink is ok.. It was my first soap I used when I go into auto detailing and paint corrections years and years back.. I moved on to Carpro Reset... superior product. I also do not foam and then wash with mitts. I foam.. and rinse.. it's great a rinse before you start washing ot help carry some of the dirt off. There are many techniques and this one always made sense to me. Being you have a black car I hope you have a nice Ceramic coating like Cquarts pro or reserve on there. It really helps prevent swirls from washing etc. My detail guy has done cars priced as high as 10 million down to your typical 10K car. I have learned an amazing amount from him. Also check out Microfiber madness towels and pretty much anything by CarPro is amazing. Wheel woolies for wheels are awesome! You need a bucket for your wheel cleaning. Makes it easy for rinsing and adding soap. I like to add ONR to my wash/rinse buckets as well so there are polymers to help prevent scratching when removing dirt. Soap is a surfactant not a lubricant. People need to start learning about polymers that can actually help reduce swirls and micro marring while cleaning.
Great video on one of the best ways to wash your Corvette. I believe you can alway learn something from someone else's way of doing things. I used to always wash my tires and wheels last. But after watching your video I believe I will start with the wheels and tires first and see what I think. I also had my wheels treated with the ceramic wax when the rest of the car was treated. The Brembo brake dust hardly sticks so there is much less to wash off. Keep the UA-cam videos coming Chuck!!
Good wash technique, I also use the master blaster 8hp air blaster, the air is warmed. I used to have a black challenger SRT8, black is tough on maintenance, I'd look at the paint and it would get swirls in it!! And that was despite using 2 bucket method and minimized wiping down on the paint......I've got a ZL1 1LE coming in Garnett red so I hope it'll be easier on the upkeep!!
Yea, if I washed it more often would get a Master Blaster. With having a ceramic coating I only wash it a handful of times a year. Congratulations on the ZL1 1LE that is once sick car. Send in a pick when you get it to share with everyone. 👍🏻
Corvettes 918 I just had one of the coatings applied on my daily driver (17 Civic Si, need the decent mileage given the 30k miles a year I drive for work), and the upkeep is very easy with it, but I still tend to wash it at least twice a month, if it were garage kept all the time it would be a lot less.......are you going to get the ZR1?
Stumbled across your channel while researching foam cannons. Saw your name and thought.. maybe he’s from Tulsa. Turns out you are from BA like me. Pretty cool channel as I’ve spent the last 3-4 hours watching your videos. I don’t have a Vette but I have a blacked out Avalanche.. daily driver and very hard to keep clean. Got a pressure washer for Christmas and just ordered a foam cannon. I subscribed and will continue to follow, maybe I’ll see you on the road.
Very cool, that’s a older video. I have a two part series coming out this week about all my cleaning gear. I won’t have this Z06 much longer me ZR1 should be here in a few months. If you ever see me definitely let me know. 👍🏻😎
Corvettes 918 yes I saw that you ordered one. Congrats and enjoy!! Next time you meet up at “The Home Store” off 51st and Garnett look for me, I work on the SW corner of that intersection😄
Ceramic coating (on EVERYTHING! Even lug nuts!) + adam's foam cannon (chemical guys is good too) + 2 bucket (3 if doing wheels) + Master Blaster is just fantastic.
Chuck great advice on cleaning gave me a few good ideas. Sorry, I gave you the information wrong on my 1959 C1 black and silver corvette, the photo was taken in 1962. Imagine what that corvette is worth today. Bought it for $1,500 and sold it to buy a 1965 396-425 got that one for dealer cost as I was a mechanic then at the dealership. But with a growing family had to put the corvettes on hold until 2017. Again thanks for showing them and we look forward to your videos.
A good thing for washing brake calibers is a long hair paint brush get it real soapy and you can get to the lil nooks and gets them really clean just a lil tip I use , love your content
This is my first time watching your videos and I just wanted to say that you have a beautiful car and keep up the good work on the vids you earned a subscribe from me
I note that after using the foam cannon you used a soft cloth on the surface as well to remove any residual grime/dirt. In another video on youtube a guy foam-cannoned his car, and it looked fine from the distance, but after closer inspection there was a still a thin layer or haze of dirt on the car. I also note that in addition to the foam, and the physical cleaning, you also use other chemicals to enhance the shine. My conclusion is that the foam cannon was not the main player in the result you achieved, that is the physical cleaning and the post treatment also played a significant role. Anyhow, your car was not very dirty at all when you started cleaning it ! I owned a PT Cruiser for 16 years, and I used only a brush which was attached to the water mains. Afterwards I dried it down and occasionally waxed it. When I sold it, the new owner was amazed at how good the condition of the paint was in. My facit is therefore that the important factor in taking care of the paintwork is to WASH AND WAX IT OFTEN. I never used car shampoo or a foam cannon, and in all honesty I think that they are spectacular but ineffective as they do not remove all of the dirt. On another car I owned, a Honda Accord, I damaged the paint when using a pressure cleaner, so I don’t use that either on my car now either.
Thanks for featuring our vette in your video! My husband, Dustin with the c7 stingray, uses the Adams brand to clean it. It's a 3lt and he uses Adams on the interior as well.
Beautiful Vette buddy and I like your process. I'm only 17 with a 98 Grand Cherokee with crap paint. But one day I'll take your magic washing techniques to mind when I have a nicer car like yours lol. Have a blessed one 🙏.
Great looking Z06. Thank you for some of your tips. I'll definitely will be using them to clean my C7. I would say good luck this weekend, but OU plays OSU :)
Thanks for sharing the products you use Chuck. I've started using some of the same and it's made cleaning my GS easier. 👍 I do need a foam cannon I think!
You did an in incredible job my man. I wash my vehicles the same way. If I had something of that caliber I would do the same, knowing that I performed at my standards. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Welcome to the community very honored to have you. If you haven't sent in a picture for a video please send one in if you want to share your ride with everyone. 👊😎 e-mail is in the description.
Ever try Adam's H20 Guard and Gloss as a drying aid? Not sure how similar it is to that Kenotek product, but you spray the H20 Guard and Gloss on and the water just starts to bead up and run off on its own. Doesn't leave any streaks either.
Wow, when a black car is clean and shiny nothing can beat it. 👍 I thought you're going to use the foam cannon for a touchless wash. If you do a touchless wash don't dilute the soap and you'll get a much thicker foam. The foam cannons with an adjustment button are designed to mix the concentrated soap with the right amount of water. Cheers!
Just randomly browsing car videos on youtube and the 918 caught my eye! I live in BA too! Grew up in Coweta! Nice vett! Ill be looking out for you around town! Got a sub from me!
Todd, I am sorry to hear about the accident hopefully you are able to get it back to looking like new soon. Never a good thing when you have a car wreck.
DAMN you got the good side of the street where late afternoon/evening you get shade. I'm on the other side of the street... where I have to wait for sunset and rush so I don't run out of light lol
Pro Tip: Always use up-and-down swipes when cleaning side panels (fenders, doors, bumpers, etc) whether washing, drying, waxing, etc. Each time you wash your car you put swirl marks in the paint, whether you admit it or not. How noticeable they are depends on your wash practices. Vertical marks do not reflect light as easy as horizontal marks and therefore are a lot harder to see.
Usually not a 'Vette kinda guy, but yours I REALLY like. I like the fact that you've modified the front wheel wells for the way the rim/tire pokes out a bit. I'm going to do that on my 370Z because I love my rim/wheel combo but they stick out from my wells a bit like yours. I need to get several of the items you've mentioned to dry my car. I want the microfiber towel as well as the drying agent spray because, not matter how many time's I go over my car, I invariably miss areas (like low on the doors) and don't see them until the next day.
Great video. I bet your rims are back to square 1 in 10 miles? Lol. I swapped mine out when the car was 200 miles old. They don’t work like stock, but the rims stay cleaner. Your car is beautiful.
jesus that is fucking cool as hell man. that z06 looks pristine.
👍😎
Mike here,
I have followed for about 5 months now but havent spoken much. Absolutely love the channel! I often tune in during my late week nights of studying and weekends of studying during the day - as I am now. The channel is an awesome hang out for the long days with my head in the books. As you know, very close to finishing pharmacy school. Torn between the grandsport, audi r8, porsche boxster, and jaguar f type! I will say that your channel makes me lean towards becoming a chevy man! Enjoy your labor day weekend brotha

Well done mike and much success to you after school. 👍🏻👍🏻
bmx687 def a GC or R8, test drove an F type V8 R while looking for an S class replacement for me, it was awesome but it just didn't feel that special
You lucky person..haaa. amazing vette..nice house ..sun shining....you Americans...haaa good luck buddy...from England
Really enjoy your videos on washing and maintaining your corvette. I have already bought all the products you use for the inside, looking forward to trying the outside ones as well. Keep up the great videos!
thanks rusty for stopping by the channel and the support. Have a blessed Labor Day. 👍😎
Like these type of instructional videos!
Thanks for the Feedback Baron 👍👊
Thats a bad ass Vett. Kinda looks like the Batmobile. Nice job on the wash too, awesome mirrored finish. Enjoy the ride my friend.
Sick Vette + Skins fan + organized garage + Stamped concrete + bad ass yard = thumbs up + sub
Welcome to the community very honored to have you. 👍🏻😎
One of the nicest cars general motors has ever made. They really nailed the corvette with this one.
👍
The Vette is AMAZING!!! Loving that Wrangler as well
Thank you sir 👍🏻😎
LOL!!! I was just mesmerized on how great the car looks! Either way I like your techniques! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for stopping by the channel Florentine glad to have you. Stick around the ZR1 is on the way.
Gorgeous car. Great vid.
Thank you👍
The C7 is probably the nicest car that I've seen in a while. Us Aussies can only dream of those Chevrolet's.
Its a great looking car for sure and has some get up and go as well. Australia 🇦🇺 welcome
2009 NC Miata: Rinse, Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash, rinse, Dry with Micro Fiber towel, Meguiar's Black Detail. For Waxing time I use Meguiar's Black Magic Paste Wax. Shines like a mirror!
👍
I'll send you a Pic after it's next waxing!
I was fumbling my phone around and clicked this video on accident, but I'm glad I did. Thanks for the wheels first tip, makes total sense. I consider myself borderline OCD but can't imagine how much a year you hardcore detail gurus spend on supplies and products. Ballpark annual cost for this sort of treatment? Thanks for being enjoyable to listen to, it's a dying quality. You managed to keep me around for the full fifteen minutes with no prior intention of even watching a detail video!
I have a ceramic coating so only wash it maybe 6 times a year. Glad you stopped by even if it was an accident. 👍🏻😎
Black is beautiful.
😎👍👊
Kirk Endicott when did this become about race
Anon Ymouse has straight and curly pubic hair stuck in his back teeth.
Ey ma Logic bois in here ?
yeah but everyone has black cars, so it doesnt look so special..
You're blessed with such nice toys! Beautiful car, lovely home, perfect lawn.... Very happy for you. Keep that car shining! God Bless!
I didn't want black until I keep seeing yours!!! The C7 Stingray that belongs to Dustin near the end, is that Torch Red or Long Beach Red? Thanks for your videos. I'm still hoping to buy a C7.
👊👍😎
Hi, the color of the car is crystal red metallic tintcoat.
The color looks different in many different ways, ie sun, no sun, shade, overcast, etc..... Dustin
Man I love that Z06! Looks amazing, especially with your tasteful modifications. Great video Chuck
Thanks Tom, I always have to pick my jaw up when I walk out into the garage. 😂😎
Redskin fan and Corvette enthusiast!!! Enjoyed the video I just brought my first Vet. Do you recommend getting a ceramic coat on the paint job?
Absolutely
Great info on the video Chuck. Appreciate the car wash tips. Look forward to hearing what you use in between car washes. Or when you get back from a ride as far as a quick detailer. Go Pats!!
Thanks for stopping by the channel. Thanks for the feedback. Those pats are primed to do it again.
The car isn't dirty..
It's good to maintain your car and keep it in good condition it may not look dirty but washing it like that gets all the dirt we can't see off the car
wrong logan,only way to get the dirt off you cant see is with a clay bar
We owners of black cars think they look dirty by the time we get to the store!
Great Video man, I learned how to take care of the paint even better and the FOAM really works wonders. Your C7 Z06 looks immaculate.
👍😎

👍👊 Yep, always watch those fluids.
john vidal yt
Don't use a leaf blower it will end up making your car smell like gas
Pull up 10ft use electric one
Dino saur no it doesn't put exhaust out the front
Best wash job I have ever seen!, like your technique
Do a video on what you do to afford that thing 😭😭
Robert Cupedro hard work
He’s white ......he was born rich
Jay Charles you sound ignorant know plenty white guys poor as hell
If I said something like that I would be accused of being a racist, but of course only white people can be racist can't they.
He avoids paying taxes obviously.

Guys what is your go to car soap?
Corvettes 918 if you could send me a list of what you use that would be dope. I have a 17 Grand Sport and I want it shinning like yours.
Guns Cars and Construction everything is in the description of this video. Everything I use has a link there. 👍🏻
Mr. Pink
Yes, I just updated the link in the description for some reason it had Adams.
murphy's...for the past 45 years.
I came for the car washing but stayed for the blacked out corvette, its a beauty! In the process of blacking out my car! love the plates too lol
Is it a pain in the ass caring for a black car?
Black? Thats not a color its a second job. 😂😂😎
Absolutely, especially in spring or summer months, the heat beats em to death but nothing beats the look of a black vehicle
Yes. And it shows everything. If you ever get a black car, only hand wash it and wash it properly. Still, I have no regrets driving a black car.
Ive never seen your videos before but dude I like your personality and this video quality is tip-top. Sick ass car too. Keep up these videos man
Thanks Donavan for stopping by the channel. I appreciate the support.n 👍😎👊
Go Skins!!
👍👍
Nice. you makes me fall in love with this model, i like the old model more, but with time i might love this even more
👍👊 Nothing wrong with any C Series.
Hail to the Redskins! !!

Cleaning a clean car hmm
Thanks for posting this video - I learned three useful tips..

How to fill my foam cannon without making a big mess👌
Move the drying towel in one direction😎
So... thanks for taking the time to post it 👍😎
Good stuff
👊👍👊
Absolutely gorgeous Z06. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
Lets go Eagles!!!
😂👍
Chuck,
Another nice video. Learned a few little things. I am ordering that canon this week. Its just too cool.
Totally random, noticed your truck in the background and the phone #.
My home number (land line...lol) growing up was 893-5050, small world.
Have a blessed week my friend.
The foam cannon is the bomb. 😂😂👍. Yea, have had that 5050 number for 18 years. 👍
I'm ready for some 🏈... Cowboys
👊👍

Looks like you washed a clean car to me, Just Sayin...
It's freaking awesome seeing a car guy from oklahoma on UA-cam your the first I've seen keep on keeping on okie
👍
Beautiful car and right wash techniques
👍😎👊
Nothing looks nicer than a clean black car. I've washed and buffed many black cars and its not an easy task. Nice video
totally agree. Black isn't a color its a second job. 😂😎👍
WHAT UP CHUCK! Nice vid as always. Mexico hahaha you crack me up Chuck! Great info. Blessings.
😂😂 Hey can't be speeding like that in your local town. 👍👊
Enjoyed your video and I must say, your car is beautiful!

Corvettes 918 I just had one of the coatings applied on my daily driver (17 Civic Si, need the decent mileage given the 30k miles a year I drive for work), and the upkeep is very easy with it, but I still tend to wash it at least twice a month, if it were garage kept all the time it would be a lot less.......are you going to get the ZR1?
Stumbled across your channel while researching foam cannons. Saw your name and thought.. maybe he’s from Tulsa. Turns out you are from BA like me. Pretty cool channel as I’ve spent the last 3-4 hours watching your videos. I don’t have a Vette but I have a blacked out Avalanche.. daily driver and very hard to keep clean. Got a pressure washer for Christmas and just ordered a foam cannon. I subscribed and will continue to follow, maybe I’ll see you on the road.
Very cool, that’s a older video. I have a two part series coming out this week about all my cleaning gear. I won’t have this Z06 much longer me ZR1 should be here in a few months. If you ever see me definitely let me know. 👍🏻😎
Corvettes 918 yes I saw that you ordered one. Congrats and enjoy!! Next time you meet up at “The Home Store” off 51st and Garnett look for me, I work on the SW corner of that intersection😄
Ceramic coating (on EVERYTHING! Even lug nuts!) + adam's foam cannon (chemical guys is good too) + 2 bucket (3 if doing wheels) + Master Blaster is just fantastic.
😎👊👍
Chuck great advice on cleaning gave me a few good ideas. Sorry, I gave you the information wrong on my 1959 C1 black and silver corvette, the photo was taken in 1962. Imagine what that corvette is worth today. Bought it for $1,500 and sold it to buy a 1965 396-425 got that one for dealer cost as I was a mechanic then at the dealership. But with a growing family had to put the corvettes on hold until 2017. Again thanks for showing them and we look forward to your videos.
Regardless of the year it was a great photo. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful car! Love to see people work hard to get what they want instead of asking for handouts. 👍
Looks awesome Chuck, have a nice weekend!!!
👍👍
A good thing for washing brake calibers is a long hair paint brush get it real soapy and you can get to the lil nooks and gets them really clean just a lil tip I use , love your content
That's how you create a how to video! Enjoyed watching and super clean car!
👍👊😎
All the hard work shows
Thank you Sir, I appreciate the feedback. 👍👊
Good video. Gave me some ideas. Especially the wheel cleaning. Keep up the good work. Nice car. Beautiful, DEEP Black.
👍👊
Thanks, Chuck showing the Black Momba some love :) God bless hope you have a great week.
Thanks Jim and you as well.
Best looking corvette ive ever seen
Thanks Matt. 👍😎
Nice video Chuck! I bet washing Black Mamba is very therapeutic.
Thank you Lorna, very Therapeutic. 👍
This is my first time watching your videos and I just wanted to say that you have a beautiful car and keep up the good work on the vids you earned a subscribe from me
Thank you and welcome to the community. Hope you enjoy future videos. 👍🏻😎
I note that after using the foam cannon you used a soft cloth on the surface as well to remove any residual grime/dirt. In another video on youtube a guy foam-cannoned his car, and it looked fine from the distance, but after closer inspection there was a still a thin layer or haze of dirt on the car. I also note that in addition to the foam, and the physical cleaning, you also use other chemicals to enhance the shine. My conclusion is that the foam cannon was not the main player in the result you achieved, that is the physical cleaning and the post treatment also played a significant role. Anyhow, your car was not very dirty at all when you started cleaning it ! I owned a PT Cruiser for 16 years, and I used only a brush which was attached to the water mains. Afterwards I dried it down and occasionally waxed it. When I sold it, the new owner was amazed at how good the condition of the paint was in. My facit is therefore that the important factor in taking care of the paintwork is to WASH AND WAX IT OFTEN. I never used car shampoo or a foam cannon, and in all honesty I think that they are spectacular but ineffective as they do not remove all of the dirt. On another car I owned, a Honda Accord, I damaged the paint when using a pressure cleaner, so I don’t use that either on my car now either.
Thanks for featuring our vette in your video! My husband, Dustin with the c7 stingray, uses the Adams brand to clean it. It's a 3lt and he uses Adams on the interior as well.
👍👊😎
I love that car brother. Great work!
Thanks Me, I appreciate you stopping by the channel. 👍😎
Enjoyed the video Chuck. Your corvette looks absolutely Beautiful, great job!
Thanks Larry. 👍
Beautiful Vette buddy and I like your process. I'm only 17 with a 98 Grand Cherokee with crap paint. But one day I'll take your magic washing techniques to mind when I have a nicer car like yours lol. Have a blessed one 🙏.
Cars will come in the future. Get that education and kill it in the world and all that stuff will come.
I appreciate the entertaining, informative video that didn't seem like you were flaunting the fact that you own an expensive car. Subbed!
Thanks Jared. 👍
Great looking Z06. Thank you for some of your tips. I'll definitely will be using them to clean my C7.
I would say good luck this weekend, but OU plays OSU :)
It should be a good game. I am glad you guys lost like 50 players to the NFL Draft. 😂👍
Ill be washing my SVT Cobra like this tomorrow. Thanks for the video and nice car. Its very clean.
Thanks for sharing the products you use Chuck. I've started using some of the same and it's made cleaning my GS easier. 👍 I do need a foam cannon I think!
The foam cannon is just cool and fun. Plus adds another layer of lubricant on the car for washing. 👍
You did an in incredible job my man. I wash my vehicles the same way. If I had something of that caliber I would do the same, knowing that I performed at my standards. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hello. I've watched and enjoyed several of your video. New subscriber. I have a 2008 C6 Z51 and a 2017 C7 Grand Sport.
Welcome to the community very honored to have you. If you haven't sent in a picture for a video please send one in if you want to share your ride with everyone. 👊😎 e-mail is in the description.
You must do well in the overhead door business 👍 great video and one awesome Vette !!!
Wow! What a fantastic result. You’ve got this down.
Ever try Adam's H20 Guard and Gloss as a drying aid? Not sure how similar it is to that Kenotek product, but you spray the H20 Guard and Gloss on and the water just starts to bead up and run off on its own. Doesn't leave any streaks either.
I have not but will take a look at it.
It's a bit pricey, but it is nice stuff. Not sure if Chemical Guys has an equivalent or not.
3:52 sounds like bathtub fart bubbles.:-) Good job with the vid Chuck!
My dream car is a white corvette with Black rims they look really nice love your corvette too
I am with you they are sharp looking vettes. I like almost any car specked out that way. 👍🏻😎
Corvettes 918 hopefully in my days I get one I really like the white zo6 with the red interior design love this car and it's better than a Lamborghini
Its a good title you hooked me into it , but I am glad I stayed I use the same pink stuff and you have a nice car sir . Awesome video
Thank you for stopping by the channel. Some people liked the title and others got bad hence all that thumbs down. 👍😎.
dunno why, but watching a car being washed is so satisfying lol 😎👍
That's amazing clean!! I need to clean my car too now.
😂👍👊😎
Wow, when a black car is clean and shiny nothing can beat it. 👍
I thought you're going to use the foam cannon for a touchless wash.
If you do a touchless wash don't dilute the soap and you'll get a much thicker foam.
The foam cannons with an adjustment button are designed to mix the concentrated soap with the right amount of water.
Cheers!
Just randomly browsing car videos on youtube and the 918 caught my eye! I live in BA too! Grew up in Coweta! Nice vett! Ill be looking out for you around town! Got a sub from me!
Very cool to have a fellow 918 in the community. say hi if you ever see me. 👍
Love your car man, my c5z 50th anniversary got hit yesterday. Sucks, but nice vid
Todd, I am sorry to hear about the accident hopefully you are able to get it back to looking like new soon. Never a good thing when you have a car wreck.
DAMN you got the good side of the street where late afternoon/evening you get shade.
I'm on the other side of the street... where I have to wait for sunset and rush so I don't run out of light lol
Yea, I built my house to face the east didn't want the front getting baked in the evenings.
Very beautiful ride!
Thank you 👍🏻😎
Pro Tip: Always use up-and-down swipes when cleaning side panels (fenders, doors, bumpers, etc) whether washing, drying, waxing, etc.
Each time you wash your car you put swirl marks in the paint, whether you admit it or not. How noticeable they are depends on your wash practices. Vertical marks do not reflect light as easy as horizontal marks and therefore are a lot harder to see.
great information thats why I did the ceramic coating on the car. You still get some but nothing like doing this on paint.
That is a beautiful car! Thanks for sharing your detailing process.
That's one of the nicest looking vette I've seen in awhile
👍👍😎
Why is this so satisfying to watch
F**king beautiful finish. Awesome job!
Thats a hell of a combo.. love it
Usually not a 'Vette kinda guy, but yours I REALLY like. I like the fact that you've modified the front wheel wells for the way the rim/tire pokes out a bit. I'm going to do that on my 370Z because I love my rim/wheel combo but they stick out from my wells a bit like yours. I need to get several of the items you've mentioned to dry my car. I want the microfiber towel as well as the drying agent spray because, not matter how many time's I go over my car, I invariably miss areas (like low on the doors) and don't see them until the next day.
👍
Gorgeous spec on a gorgeous car
Great video. I bet your rims are back to square 1 in 10 miles? Lol. I swapped mine out when the car was 200 miles old. They don’t work like stock, but the rims stay cleaner. Your car is beautiful.
