Finally a video that starts from the beginning by telling you what you need and why. This looks like a great way to wash a vehicle in a shorter period of time. Not everyone can spend all day washing. Thanks so much, my triple black C6 vert thanks you.
You're very welcome. 👍👍
Thanks!
Thank YOU!!
Perfect timing on this video, I just got my wrapped, ceramic coated ZL1 back today and found this. Thanks for a great video!
Awesome! Happy to help! I love those ZL1's! 😍
You should foam then rinse the car before going in with a mitt. I’ve learned that you can get a ton of dirt off the car that way, which will make the contact wash that much safer. Just my .02, from my experience. Slick car! Can’t wait to get one.
I agree to an extent. In my experience it didn't help that much and ended up being more of a waste for me unless the car is really really dirty.
That is an awesome car. Where I live in Delaware there is no way I could ever get to use even 50% of the performace of a ZR1, without losing my license. lol
Thanks, man. There aren't many locations for it in PA either, but I find one every now and then 😈
those ZR1's got to be one of the best looking cars of all time. and best sounding
Agreed. It's really a beautiful monster!
Here’s to Ceramic Coating! 🥂
Heck yes! 🍻
Thanks for the great info I’m waiting for delivery of a 2022 JCW Cooper and will have it XPEL wrapped and ceramic coated first time so I definitely needed the tutorial to relearn “washing” a car 👍👍👍
You're very welcome! Congrats on the car!
Quick question. Why not just use a dry wash and do it inside your garage. This is my method for 9 years as I don't want to chance water spots and the paint looks like glass. Excellent demonstration on how you do it though.
Thanks for the advice. When I eventually even get a car.
You're welcome! 👍👍
Awesome video I've got a freshly coated black Mustang a lot of good tips THANKS
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
@HorsePowerObsessed just because I'm driving a Mustang doesn't mean I don't think that Corvette of isn't gorgeous I've had two of them a 66 and a 74 I love all cars cheers
Hyperion makes good guns in Borderlands.
🤣🤣 they are a jack of all trades!
Hey Justin, finally got my car cause of you! Thankyou. I know this video is old, but its the only car wash video I could find on your channel. I personally think you have the shiniest black cars out of everyone ive seen! I'm here to learn/copy from the best 😭. Are these still the same tools/items you use to wash your car? Or have you updated some of the items on this list? This method is still completely safe on a non-ppf/non ceramic coated car correct? I will be getting XPEL soon! Last question: I know you have stealth badges on your C8 Z06, are those stealth badges you have the same ones that come from the factory? I optioned some stealth badges from the factory, and they are pretty much all carbon flash, I can't really tell from your vids, but your stealth badges seem to have more of like a greyish color to it. Thanks for inspiring me man
Thanks for watching man! Yes, I still use the same method and tools for the most part but have upgraded a few things. Stealth badges are factory. I plan on making another video soon (once the weather breaks) on proper wash methods.
@HorsePowerObsessed do you mind me asking which items you upgraded specifically? My car is getting dirty, and I need to buy the equipment soon! I'd love to just buy what you are currently using! Sorry if its too much to ask, but this would be extremely helpful
These are the items I recommend. Makes cleaning a lot easier, more efficiant, and will last the life of your car and then some. Obviously spray off the car, soap it down with the Meguiars soap/foam cannon, wash with the microfiber mitt, then rinse and blow dry with the master blaster. After it's dry, wipe everything down with the XPEL ceramic boost.

@@HorsePowerObsessed Justin, Thank you so much man. Truly appreciate this. I have one last question before I leave you alone 😅. I went to a shop to get quotes on XPEL ppf and window tint. They said they dont recommend tinting the back window (the outer one above the engine bay) They said the glass gets hot due to the engine and the tint is most likely going to get damaged. I recall you having your back window tinted 5% correct? Have you had any damage to the back window tints (even if you do, does it look bad? is it noticable?)
Wash in straight lines too guys horizontal helps to avoid swirls
Yes sir!
Will have to look into that master blaster. Does a nice job
Hands down the best car wash tool I've purchased!
Does seem to work well but I just can't justify $400 for one.
@@LT4POWERED it is pricey that's for sure. I've had mine for a few years though so it seems to be worth it as far as craftsmanship goes. Alternatively you can use a leaf blower or compressed air with similar results.
I have an electric leaf blower I bought specifically for that reason but I usually just end up using a dedicated Absorber XL. Haven’t noticed any issues by using it.
That cold start...😎 I need to tryout that soap. I won’t tell you what I pay for the stuff I use. +1 For the leaf blower!
I've tried a lot of the more expensive soaps and this stuff is just as good if not better. 👍👍
Nicely done Justin. Car looks sweet as always 👍
Thanks, Cy!
damn that master blaster.
Right?!
Great video! 🔥 I personally prefer to foam it up the 1st time, let the soap sit a few minutes, let it remove as much dirt off the paint without actually touching the car, and than rinse it off. After that..I foam it up a 2nd time, than I would apply the wash mit. This helps ensure that most of the dirt is gone before using a wash mit and avoid any micro scratches and swirl marks.
Thanks, man! I've done it this in the past but it didn't really seem to do much for me. Seemed to have as much dirt as before I let the foam run off..
Great video I just got my 2021 chevy Silverado ceramic coating done at 2 guys detailing in white oak PA it looks great I heard Black tinting dose really good but 2 guys is closer to me. I have to wait 2 weeks to wash it. And I will need to get some supplies that you and they recommend. Thanks
You’re very welcome!
Thank you for the video
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
How is the visibility on the ZR1 being you had the ZO6,. I called my sales guy and they said they can locate me a new ZR1, but going to also hold on to my 2017 ZO6 but I see how high the hood sits on new ZR1 and wanted to know if its annoying or just something to get use to? Great work as always brother and your car looks sick. Enjoy that machine, truly are one hell of a ride.
Thank you! I love the ZR1! Visibility is about the same, The hood bulge is obviously bigger but it's totally worth it and it doesn't really affect visibility that much. 👍
Looking forward to info on the spot free rinse. Great video!!
Thanks! It's coming soon!
AWESOME video as always Justin! I do exactly the same routine that you recommend with just one change. I like to use 6(six) microfiber mits instead of one without a rinse bucket. After foaming the car down I’ll use mit one to do half the roof. I will then turn the mit over and do the other roof half. When finished with mit one I toss it into an empty bucket and pick up,mit #2 and do half the hood, then turning over and do the other half. I finish up the rest of the car using the remainder mits. With this technique you are absolutely sure to use a clean mit with no risk of a hidden stone or debris to scratch. I of course use a separate mit and brush for the wheels and tires. Master blaster IS A MUST!! Can’t wait for your spotless water video!! By the way, I like your new ZR1 but I LOVED YOUR RED Z06!! Will your 2020 be red?? Bob
Thanks! The 2020 will be red, yes. 👍
Great video! What process you would advise for hot, summer weather in Las Vegas? I have a ceramic coated car. Even nights are 100 degrees in July/August.
Best advice is to make sure it is not in direct sunlight. Temperature doesn't really matter too much as long as it isn't direct sun.
Love blackout tinting I work at the chevy dealership right beside them and we always send people there!!
Nice! They are great over there! I was just at your dealership on Friday!
@@HorsePowerObsessed nice.. live it there ..small dealership makes it super easy to know all ur customers on a personal level ..been a tech there for a while now !
@@chevyman35089 interesting. Do you work with the vettes?
@@HorsePowerObsessed yes I work on everything.. I used to work at a dealership in NC that had hundreds of vetts in stock . They had one of every color zr1 in stock. Although I much prefer working on diesels
great informative video , thanks for all the great insight
My pleasure!
I do the same method you do here but wanted to ask about once you dry the car with the blower what do you do to get the rest of the water droplets 💦 off that the blower left behind?
Thanks
I follow up with XPEL ceramic boost you can find it here: amzn.to/3BZHaSq
@@HorsePowerObsessed thanks 🙏
You’re very welcome!
BIG BIG BIG NEWS FOR THE C8, Motortrend dynoed the engine and its a 650hp engine at the crank. 558ft lbs of torque at the rear wheel was observered. Forget the Z06, wheels and exhaust are all thats needed.
I'm uploading the video now!
Only thing I’d add is to consider doing the wheels first, especially if you use wheel cleaners. Those brushes will sling that stuff everywhere.
I definitely agree. I don't use any wheel cleaner since I have the carbon ceramic rotors and the wheels are ceramic coated. All that I use in the wheels is the same soap I use on the car. 👍
Yeah true. Us guys with the steel rotors need to use it from time to time though. Sometimes the soap and water just isn’t enough. And I love the Z06 wheel design but my God they are tough to clean!
You can use distilled water as a final rinse rather than the spot free rinse machine.
Yes you can! 👍👍
Good job Justin !! Man...that master blaster works great. Been using run of the mill leaf blower on my fleet lol. Good stuff thanks bud.
Thanks, JT! Anything that moves air well will do an awesome job moving water off the car!
Little tidbit about grit guards, they're not as effective as they claim to be. Suggest you looking up why. Other than that, great video! As a detailer who has many maintenance clients, I use this method.
Another excellent upload Justin. I know you'll address the Spot Free water setup later, but for now I have one question. Is the water that's being treated still drinkable? Save the Wave.
Yes it is drinkable! 👍👍
Great video Justin. Thanks for sharing. Love your car!
Thank you! I appreciate the support! 😁
Good vid bro! Love the thorough efficient process! 👍
Thank you!
When are we getting the dyno video??
It's coming soon! 👍👍
Does the pressure washer distilles the water? Or can I even wash it with regular water
You can wash it with regular water but at the end the best way is to use distilled water to prevent any kind of water spotting.
@@HorsePowerObsessed ok I thought the pressure washes cleaned the tap water
No sir. The water filter I have does though.
@@HorsePowerObsessed so far I don’t get water spot and I’m using a water hose, only thing is I’m starting to see scratches so I’m guessing it’s no using a pressure washer and foam canon to prep the car for a proper wash
Gangster video bro
Wow. I'm way behind on my car washing skills. My son needs to coat his truck. His vehicle is newer than mine.
It's definitely worth it!
Hey horsepower obsessed, you have to check out the video first c8 Dino numbers revealed! It is at 561 hp !
Yep! Video is going up as we speak 👍👍
great video deff subbed
Thank you!! 😁
Like the car, hate the wing.
I bought the Pressure Washer and Foam Cannon from the link you've provided and the Foam Cannon doesn't fit on the Pressure Washer nozzle
You may want to reach out to Amazon them because they must’ve sent you the wrong thing. I’ve bought that combination at least 10 times for other people and every time it is dead on accurate.
@@HorsePowerObsessed alright. Thanks for the speedy response. I'll reach out to them. Appreciate it
No problem! Good luck my friend!
Nice!!!! Do you wash your Colorado this way too?? IM going to look into this!!!!
Absolutely do! It takes a little longer with the truck though.
I wash the wheels first so that the car does not dry on its own while doing the wheels after.
The soap is PH balanced so even if it dries all you have to do is wet it again and it's good to go. This is also why I recommended doing this in the shade.
Very good video and nice try, you are well organized but If I was you, after I spray my car with the foam, need to wait for minute and must wash my car again with high pressure water to remove the dirt better and then use the mitt with shampoo, the wheels first(important) and after the body. Nice car by the way.
Thank you!
Packers suck :) but you have a nice car. GO Browns :)
Thanks. I'm actually ok with the Browns!
Go Packers!!
🤘😎🤘
Is the gold class car wash soap hood for wrapped cars ? Vínyl wrap cars
Yup. pH neutral so it won't hurt anything
What is the best spotless system to buy for my vette? Chuck
The NO SPOTS PRO system is very very good and priced right. I use it every time I wash my black Corvette. If you buy one tell him HorsePower Obsessed sent you!
I did buy one thru Amazon as my son works for jeff Bezos in Seattle as an engineer for his Blue Origin space ship company so I got a discount. I wish you could tell them I bought it because of you. Am I right that it does not need any chemicals added to use.
@@HorsePowerObsessed
He used to work at Space X but left there to work for Bezos.
Obsessed, Does the system work for a long time or only for so many gallons?
Lot of velocity from that Master Blaster. Is there a concern about the MB blasting vehicles with the airborne particulates it sucks in? Does it have a high efficiency filter?
It does indeed have a filter on the intake end. 👍
@@HorsePowerObsessed 👌
Doesn't the car start to dry (and spot) while you're doing the wheels? I don't think I could wash my entire crew cab Denali with a mitt and then rinse it before water starts to evaporate.
Normally it would but I do it in the shade and I use a PH balanced soap so if it does dry you just need to re-wet it to ensure no water spots.
I might have to buy a master blaster just to play with 😂
They are pretty awesome! 🏎
Instead of the Master blaster just take your Vette out for a quick 140mph 2min run all water gone guaranteed 😄
I like the way you think! 👍👍👍👍
With all do respect no rinse washes such as "Optimum No Rinse" are currently the best option.
There is no way that a waterless wash wouldn't scratch a black car. I'm sorry, I've tested too many of these products to feel any different. Black is way too sensitive to dirt. The waterless wash may be a great option for other colors, but it's definitely not doing black any favors.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Mike Phillips from Autogeek.net is a pro and he may disagree with you. You have your way and I hope you can keep that black car scratch free, sincerely good luck to you!!!!!!!!
I'm quite familiar with him! I'll do my best to keep it scratch free! 👍👍
Can’t you just go to Brown Bear?
Good info!!!!🎬🎥🎤🏁🏁🏁👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you!!
Don’t trust him, he’s a packers fan...lol
