    I played baseball with Chris as a kid and he loved the car washes we'd put on to raise money. He just didnt want them to end. It was pretty crazy, he'd run one most weekends for fun and even during the winter he wanted me to help him put on a carwash. We lived in Minnesota and it would be freezing and he didnt care. Good to see him still washing cars.

    As Jay said in a previous video, he most often just dusts off the cars to not put any water to it, but actually exactly this creates such terrible swirl marks.A wet car dried with microfibre cloth and then driven to dry out certainly will not be damaged by a water cleaning.

    One of the best things about detailing your own vehicle is you can often catch little problems before they become big ones. On my motorcycles, for example, it seemed there was always a fastener or two working itself loose. It's mostly simple, mindless work, and for me at least, very therapeutic.

Back then it was T-Cut or Brasso and coarse cutting compound and very heavy , single speed machines . But practise makes perfect .....so they say ! Since then l've won many accolades for my restoration skills . And today we have a miriad of machines and polishs for all finshes . Thankyou Jay.

    Nice to see that they claimed that they would wash it before they do a paint correction rather than just "wiping it down" before polishing like they did on the McLaren. Maybe they just had a check up from the neck up to basic car detailing protocol. ...regardless to them justifying why they did not clean the McLaren.

    First you say don't use dishwashing liquid it's harsh on paint, then you go ahead and use high pressure water gun at 50 psi, that would really destroy rubbers and all micro areas of windows, paint joins, and overall micro destruction of paint lacquers , opening up scratches . This fad of high pressure water hoses is one among many stereotypes of error.

    This is kinda funny for me, as a kid I got to wash some cars, mostly my moms, without having the slightest idea of what makes sense and what doesn't - and most of them did not look good neither before nor after, really. Looked better after, but not by a huge amount, the dirt was gone but then you'd see all the swirls and imperfections in the paint. Later when I had cars myself I never had the time, place or stuff to clean them by hand, so just a drive through automated thing was enough, when they got dirty enough. Now I'd have the time, but no longer have a car, nor would I be able to do any of this stuff, I'm stuck in a wheelchair. So it's all stuff I never did nor ever will get to do, but it's one of those things that are sort of satisfying to see anyway. In the unlikely scenario that someone asks me how to clean a car, I would have a sensible response: find a video of how pros do it and try doing the same 😛 good luck.
