You could use the drying towel to suck up the water by not rubbing it over the paint, place the towel on the surface, pat it all over and lift it straight off without rubbing or dragging it over the paint. Shake it to remove excess water and any dirty that may still have been on the surface and move onto the next section and repeat..
Agreed, this towel isn’t great for PAT drying compare to others. That’s why are typically dry the glass 1st to lubricate the towel before touching the paint work. As long as you don’t apply any pressure in this town is very safe to use and I haven’t had any problems so far. In an ideal world you would just use compressed air see you don’t touch the paint work at all but that would take forever.
I usually do maintenance valets monthly for my clients, but I personally wash my car & van weekly. No, you would still need to go through the full wash process otherwise you could risk marring the paint if you only foam then dry 👍🏼
Another question : last time you kindly answered my question about alkaline shampoo (BH auto shampoo, pH 9); you said that pH doesn't mean eveything. So I've got 2 other questions : 1) what about the PRE wash shampoo used in your video (BH auto-foam), which is pH ...13 ? I know that pH is not the only factor, but is a pH 13 safe for ceramic coatings (regular wash) ? 2) How do you compare the shampoo BH auto-wash to Carpro Reset ? Thank you in advance.
Providing that they don’t get to beaten up during the wash you should be able to just machine wash them every time. If they start to look a bit worn then replace 👍🏼
Thanks for this awesome video. A quick question if you don't mind. If i wash my ceramic coated car lets say once a week or once in every two weeks, is it ok and safe to use a wax type product such as turtle wax dry and shine or similar when the car is wet and rinse it off after? Or better make it dry properly and use a quick detailer such as carpro elite (lighter version of reload) , Nova Boost, Xtreme Solutions Topper, Auto Fanatics gloss enchancer, Polish Angel Presto etc
@@HarpersCarDetailing so, as a general wash once a week or once every two weeks, it will be much easier this way to spray and rinse the car off. Also this will consume less time undoubtedly. You know, unfortunately I don't have my own garage yet and it is not allowed and very legal to wash the car somewhere outside. So we go to car wash places with token and we do washing on our own, similar the way on your video, and in such places there are not always time to go slow. So this way will help :) 👍
Since Built-hamber auto wash has a pH of 9, why do you use this shampoo on a ceramic coated paint ? I thought we could only use pH neutral shampoo on ceramic, like Reset from carPro.
That’s a common misconception with comic coatings. The ph doesn’t necessarily determine the harshness of a product. An apple is oh 3.5 for example. The best product I have used to unclog a coating is called Labocosmetica purifica which is ph3. In order to remove water spots and limescale which is what clogs the coating, you need to use an acid-based product.
i dont get the maintenance spray though. If the ceramic gold has so many layers already - why do you need to add another layer every time you wash the car
I saw that when you open the front car doors and you started splash by water pressure gun the edge of the doors .. I think it will be much better safe to cover the speakers doors to prevent any water goes inside them .. just my observation however you doing great job
Hi, for peace of mind it would be good to cover but it would be quite difficult to do so. If you wouldn’t be comfortable using a pressure washer here, just use the end of a hose, that should do the trick. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏼 thanks
Protection from the sun, which could possibly discolour the tyres quicker and lead to cracking. Like you say, it’s more likely you will change the tyres due to mileage, but every little helps to prevent any damage 👍🏼
Hey, sure no problem. I personally wouldn’t as the small dust particles are quite sharp so could very easily marr the paint finish. If you 100% want to without going through the trouble of washing the car every time, which would be very unrealistic, then I would suggest a waterless wash product such as optimum no rinse. Spray that on first then with a damp drying towel carefully dry the car.
question. You use reload every 3 months or so. So When you was your car say every week or whatever. do you put down any other product at all? ex. Bead maker or a quick detail spray or anything like that until that 3 months where you re apply reload? Thanks!
If I’m being totally honest I don’t really like reload. I use it with Carpro as it’s designed for this specific coating. If the car is washed regularly then there hopefully won’t be a build up of any limescale or mineral deposits so you shouldn’t need to use it much. You can use it every time if you are wanting to prolong the coating or just enjoy using it 👍🏼 I like beadmaker, but it doesn’t last long. My favourite is bouncers done and duster Si edition
The only reason I rinse from the bottom up is so I can see exactly where I have been with my pressure washer, as it’s the pressure of the water that removes the underlying dirt. If you started from the top then you would dilute the foam below and it would run off the panel, so you don’t necessarily know when you have been, therefore you could very easily miss a spot. Whereas if you start from the bottom you can see exactly where you have been and can use the above foam as a guide as it remains in place. After that, you only need to very quickly rinse from the top to remove any leftover product or debris. It may take longer, but I would rather that than miss a spot and potentially inflict marring at the wash stage.
A video that was just straight to the point Thanks
Fantastic work great cleaning style , im
Cheers mate. Just the video i needed
What snow foam are you using/would you recommend with a ceramic coated car? My car is ceramic coated and the foam I’m using just won’t stay attached.
Great video!
Woooow car washing video
I like it

How often is a maintenance wash recommended and also what sort of wash should i be doing weekly on a ceramic coated car? Just snowfoam?

No, you would still need to go through the full wash process otherwise you could risk marring the paint if you only foam then dry 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing thanks mate.could you also send me links to what microfiber clothe you use? Also is auto wash just a pre wash before shampoo?
Nice job
Thank you 👍🏼
Good video

What degreaser is used on wheels
would you recommend using new mitts when was a ceramic coated vehicle?
Providing that they don’t get to beaten up during the wash you should be able to just machine wash them every time.
If they start to look a bit worn then replace 👍🏼
Hey question, what were you putting on or doing to your tires at the end of the video? Great vid btw!
It’s a tyre dressing called Carpro PERL 👍🏼
Thanks!
Niche one, great video nice car
Hey. Cool vid. Whats your washer pressure name pls ?
Thanks 👍🏼
It’s a Kranzle K7
What are you using to apply the tyre dressing? I use an old kitchen sponge but it absorbs more product that it applies. I am also using Meguiars.
Hi staff, I use a wax applicator pad 👍🏼
Harika süper 👍👍👍👍
Hi is the bilt hamber auto foam safe for a ceramic coated car thanks
Hi Andrew, you certainly can 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing thanks for getting back really helps

Hi Emrah, yes that should be fine. The spray and rinse products are becoming a lot more popular and work very well if applied properly

Cool mate, we have similar styles and views. Just subbed!
Would appreciate any support!
You said the products used are listed below, cannot see them.
Greymark they should now be listed below 👍🏼
What kind pressure wash machine you have?
Kranzle K7 - 120bar
i dont get the maintenance spray though. If the ceramic gold has so many layers already - why do you need to add another layer every time you wash the car
I probably wouldn’t use it every time, maybe every 6 months.
It’s just to help with the longevity of the coating 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing Ah ok makes sense...thanks!
Start at the bottom not up and down to loosen the heaviest dirt first!
I do start at the bottom.
What was the wheel cleaner? It's obviously a Koch Chemie bottle
It was ultimate finish wheel cleaner.
I’ve just reused the Koch bottle

My 720s needs a wash !!!!
It’s finally warming up now in the UK, so best time for you to get our there and give it a go 👍🏼
UV Barrier to protect the tyres. From what? Mine have only ever lasted as long as there is tread
Protection from the sun, which could possibly discolour the tyres quicker and lead to cracking. Like you say, it’s more likely you will change the tyres due to mileage, but every little helps to prevent any damage 👍🏼
Question man, hopefully, you can help me? Is it ok to wipe your car with microfiber to wipe off the dust on my car? I'm doing it every day.
Hey, sure no problem.
I personally wouldn’t as the small dust particles are quite sharp so could very easily marr the paint finish.

@@HarpersCarDetailing awesome thanks a lot man! cheers
You need to pressure wash the inside of the buckets, I like to do it before using them
Goes without saying. The buckets are thoroughly rinsed before use.
I’ll make sure I demonstrate it in the next video 👍🏼
Once in a year process
Probably every 6 months
Yo
Why you wash clean car ?
worst detailed i’ve seen rinsing frim bottom up oh honey no no how did a Porsche driver trust you they must be old poor them
The only reason I rinse from the bottom up is so I can see exactly where I have been with my pressure washer, as it’s the pressure of the water that removes the underlying dirt.
If you started from the top then you would dilute the foam below and it would run off the panel, so you don’t necessarily know when you have been, therefore you could very easily miss a spot.

After that, you only need to very quickly rinse from the top to remove any leftover product or debris.
It may take longer, but I would rather that than miss a spot and potentially inflict marring at the wash stage.
Got anything to say now Mr Perfect?
