You mean I don't need windshield wiper blade dressing, antennae polish and gas-cap ceramic sealant!?! J/K! Great info. I do find a couple of other chemicals can speed things up (for me at least): wheel cleaner (been using P&S brake buster and like that for the most part but want to give Dark Fury a try), and P&S Bug Off, driving home from Tahoe it seems I almost always run into "clouds" of bugs on I-5 and those things can be stubborn to clean if I can't wash my jeep quick enough!
I don’t think most people understand “need”. I mean, chemical-wise, you don’t “need” anything more than a bottle of Dawn dish soap. Diluted properly, it pretty much covers everything you “need” it to. Dawn not your thing? Then grab a gallon of rinseless wash and it will be a better experience than just Dawn. You don’t need a foam cannon or pressure washer or iron remover or tire dressing or blah blah blah’s. They’re “nice to haves” but definitely not “needs”. List of actual needs: Bucket Towels Hose Sprayer Vacuum Rinseless wash APC That’s it. No, you don’t need glass cleaner or extractors or drill brushes or spray waxes. Detailing is actually very simple. A lot of people complicate it unnecessarily. 😊😊😊
@@christopherlevesque7919I quit detailing “trash” cars in the mid-90’s, my man. My philosophy is that if a person cares so little about their vehicles, why should I? I lost interest in those types of jobs because I’ve done so many of them over the decades. Like I said, many just don’t understand the word “need” and how it applies to detailing. Do I need to use microfiber towels or can I just use a terry cloth towel like we did back when microfiber hadn’t even been invented or available to the USA. I mean, it is what it is and all that … but “need” shouldn’t be as subjective as it’s become. Does having thousands of dollars worth of equipment, tools and chemicals help you get the job done easier and quicker? Yes, of course they do. But you’ll never convince anyone that they are required to get the job done. I know, because I have all those things in my arsenal. 😊😊😊
100% agree with you. Dish soap is the best to get your car squeaky clean. Just dilute it properly and off you go. There's this 'horror story' about dish soap ruining your paint. It's not true. They say that because they want you to buy their products etc. My grandpa washed his car with nothing else than dish soap for over 40 years and the paint didn't fade or what so ever. Just make sure you put some protection afterwards and your good I like your way of thinking🤜🤛
@@darrenmetal3338Myths about Dawn are hilarious, to me. It dries out the paint! It causes scratches! It leaves behind residue! It has no cleaning power! You want all those myths busted? Look at your dishes … does Dawn clean them? Does it scratch them? Does it dry them out or do you taste soap when you eat off them? Ridiculous and silly. Do I recommend using Dawn as a professional detailer? No, of course not. Almost any car soap is going to be a superior experience. But they certainly aren’t “needed”. 😊😊😊
I recently bought a bunch of chemicals and so far my favorite thing to use for aggression interior stanes has been Kirkland Professional dish soap diluted with warm water and a little bit of alcohol added. Make sure you test it first and get your ratio right. So far I haven't had any trouble I just make sure to condition the leather afterwards. Insanely cheap and extremely effective. People that restore leather seeds will tell you that the absolute best thing to clean leather seeds is 99% alcohol.
Great video for sure I’m going to have to do this for my mobile detailing rig.. this is especially good for mobile detailers because the limited space we have in our rigs. However one thing I may always keep is geyon tire cleaner or Adam’s wheel and tire cleaner. I don’t mind using apc’s on them but I love love LOVE when you spray them and they turn a different color to indicate that it’s grabbing the dirt.
I agree with your list. 👍🏽 Simplicity is key to efficiency. However on the bonuses, i would prefer watermark/mineral deposit remover over the leather conditioner.
What about using All Clean by DIY for your APC? Dilute 1:15 for everything and 1:30 for interior. So it's more cost effective and you can get rid of 1 chemical.
😅 I believe that the drying aid clog the drying towel and considering their hydrophobic specificity washing them does not solve the broblem,, am I wrong ?
With that ceramic detailer how do you take care of your towel after using as a drying aid. I have ruined towels that are now hydrophobic from using a ceramic drying aid
I’m not sure what that specific brand/model is but The Rag Company has a version on their website, just go to their tools section and they have a regular air gun and one with a bottle for chemical.
When I started a new customer car washed clay waxed and then each week it gets washed off real good with just deionized water real light mixture of simple green on the wheels and tires.

Wheel cleaner ? Glass cleaner?
He said that the APC would he use for the wheel cleaner

Great video!!! Subbed!! I like your style!!
Thanks man!!!!
facts! its comical to see people with a bunch of different products that essentially do the same thing.
Great information so true!
Great video.....thank u!!
Great job
Good video but can’t forget the glass cleaner
What about wheel cleaner
Did you even watch the video?
He used OPs APC
@@DetailsNMeEXACTLY BRO !!!

What is the orange product in the second foam cannon hanging at the top of the door?
🔥🔥🔥
@@andrewrus7031 🔥🔥🎸
Question to detailers in UK, what would you use instead of OP as its not really available in UK.
😅 I believe that the drying aid clog the drying towel and considering their hydrophobic specificity washing them does not solve the broblem,, am I wrong ?
That’s a great point actually… That’s why he said he only uses it in the winter when it’s cold
Shout out to the 916! SACTOWN GANG
With that ceramic detailer how do you take care of your towel after using as a drying aid. I have ruined towels that are now hydrophobic from using a ceramic drying aid
When did you start detailing?
You Can NOT dilute solvent based dressing
What’s that compressor sprayer bottle top?
Apc for the rims ? Example , break dust
3d is the best for detailers
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🎉🎉🎉
The truth!!!
How the hell you attatch a spray bottle to a tornador to spray dressing? lol
I’m intrigued as well..what was that contraption you used to put the tire dressing on
I’m not sure what that specific brand/model is but The Rag Company has a version on their website, just go to their tools section and they have a regular air gun and one with a bottle for chemical.
Hahah dm me on instagram I’ll put you on!
Where can I get that spay gun for tires you use. Please let me know would like to buy one just like yours please
how about crazy bugs? how do you handle it
3D Bug Remover works great
I was the same way years ago until my brain turned on 😂😂
Meth would have to be one of my 5 products. It is the only thing that keeps me going in this soul-sucking job.
What was the last one the drying aid one from 3D?
And for windows?
He don't clean the windows he just washes the car....
