𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪
I am not exaggerating when I say that my Audi SQ5 has never been this dirty. The never-ending winter weather rollercoaster has left this city's roads in an awful state and my car has been paying the price. The only thing keeping me somewhat sane is the fact that I have a garage that makes washing my car possible. In this video, I tackle the disastrous state of my car as well as explain a little about an amazing opportunity that has come my way. I have been invited to attend a very exciting detailing event in Chicago and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of it.
**For anyone feeling concerned that I chose to use a detail brush to loosen dirt in and amongst the badges and lower portions of the fascia, please note that this did not result in any issues. My delicate approach along wth the quality of the brushes and liquids I use ensures the particulates are safely lifted from the surface and are not being agitated into the surface of the paint. Using a hard bristled brush on a dry dirty surface with no lubrication would be a concern, but the lubricity of the foam I used on this project provides for the safe and effective "lifting" of the dirt off the surface. I have been taking care of this car since it was brand new and I can assure you that I would not do anything that causes harm to the paint. It must also be mentioned that paint is not as delicate as some may think. The paint on this particular vehicle is subjected to conditions much harsher than a super soft detail brush, let me assure you.

The quality of your videos always blows me away, make cleaning your car such a art. Love cleaning my car but with 2 kids under 3 don’t get as much time but after watching your videos I always get inspired to find time you definitely deserve more subs another fantastic video.
Thanks for the kind words. I can relate a little bit, but having only one child does mean I have more "free" time (if there is such a thing). I'm glad to hear my videos inspire you to clean your own car. I think that is the ultimate compliment in a way.
@@RADGarage no problem mate. Your videos are always great, and if your married with children free time definitely doesn’t exist it’s just a dream! Haha
Winter DISASTER indeed!! Epic transformation. Fantastic news about Chicago, tell the awesome friends there Hi for me if you get a chance, Rick! 😊
I certainly will, Tim. I am really looking forward to all the conversations and shenanigans.
I didn't think your car could get dirtier than last time. How I was mistaken... The back is just COVERED. It makes me realize how Dutch weather isn't all that bad on the cars here at all. Thanks for this one Rick, it just arrived in time for lunch!
I don't understand the science behind how dirty winter is here. It is just mud mud mud, everywhere. Snow looks so white and clean, but as soon as it hits the road, it turns to literal mud.
I think your winters should have gotten a lot more relaxed and mild too as that is the situation here in southern Germany. We used to have lots of snow, especially in the higher areas with tons of salt and whatnot. In recent years we'll see snow maybe twice in the entire winter and it's mostly gone within a few days again.
But I was also astonished how uniform the dirt is on the SQ5, like it was sprayed on or something lol. Great job as always Rick!
Yeah, it did look like the mud was applied with some sort of spray gun!
@@Jousten16 Correct, although I am only 22 years old, I remember my childhood winters as far snowier than they are now. It surprises me that the same is true for southern Germany, thanks for the insight!
Never gets boring. Really enjoy it. I’m looking forward to watching your upcoming events. I don’t need to say enjoy as I know you will. Rob in St John’s NL
Thanks Rob. Spring and summer are shaping up nicely!
Watched whole video. I enjoyed your story and the wash. The music was incredible too. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Hugh. Watching all the way through helps drive the algorithm that determines the reach of this video, so very much appreciated!
As always, love the work you put into not only your car but making these great videos for us to enjoy! All the effects, the lighting, the music, the slow motion (forward & backward).... it's all just top notch! Selfishly speaking, I really hope this platform takes off for you so you can dedicate more time in creating more content..... possibly full time!
Nothing would make me happier than being able to spoil cars all day and make tasteful videos of the process. Maybe one day...
Hi Rick! 🙋♂ I am always glad to see a new video from you and see what products you are experimenting with. You will surely have a fantastic time in Chicago; I will be anxiously waiting for a report about the event when you get back! Cheers!!…
Thanks so much. I am very excited for the opportunity to team up with so many amazing people in the detailing community.
That’s very exciting news Rick! I’m very happy for you. I follow Chicago Auto Pros, you and Pan religiously. I really enjoy all your content. Not only is it informative, but relaxing as well. You deserve it!
Thanks Derek. I feel like Cinderella getting an invite to the ball!
Awesome as always hope your seminar in Chicago goes well. Well done!!
Thanks my friend. I have a feeling it will be one of those experiences I tell the grandkids about.
I’ve missed your videos Rick. Having gone through winter and not been too interested in detailing my cars I’ve kind swayed away from detailing videos, but I’ve got to say it was so satisfying to watch rad garage details again. You’ve inspired me to get back out there and give some TLC to the cars 😅 great work Rick, the Audi looks great!
I hear ya. I go through a similar cycle. The video creation process does really inspire me. Sitting back and watching it all play over on my computer screen is rewarding. I am glad to hear this video inspired you to apply some TLC to your rides. That's what social media should be all about!
@@RADGarage I appreciate it, thanks for all your hard work and taking the time to reply.
Ricky, as I said, your videos are GORGEOUS, you make very cool content, unlike other bloggers, their problem is that they talk a lot, you make great videos and speak in moderation, keep up the good work, good luck to you you are awesome and the videos are awesome...
I am glad to hear you enjoy my approach and video style. It's hard to please everyone, but I just aim to create videos I enjoy watching myself. The fact that others enjoy them, is a total bonus!
Congrats, Rick! Love the video as always. Excited for your upcoming projects.
You and me both!
Exceptional job Rick. Glad to have you back and bringing us some great detailing to watch again 👍
Yes, with the days becoming warmer and longer, I am finding myself in the garage a bit more. I have some cool stuff on the docket for this summer so be sure to stay tuned!
Rick, the intro music to this video put me into an absolute trance where I saw my soul float up out of my body and hover above the ground as i was watching the Detail take place. Absolutely incredible work sir 🔥
I must give full credit to the amazing artists that allow me to feature their tracks. The Ambientalist recently "white listed" my channel so I can access his full library without fear of being hit with a copyright strike. It's generosity like this that makes video production such a fun and rewarding experience.
Can't wait to see what the spring and summer has in store for us all!!!
I am sure it won't disappoint!
Awesome news Rick, I really enjoyed your video Sir 👍😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats Rick on the invite from Jason from Chicago Auto Pros, well deserved for sure!
As always another great video and looking forwarded to your future content 👍!
Thanks for the support. I am really liking the direction things are going.
Good for you and like I said, well deserved 👍!
Good stuff!
Congratulations, Rick.Well deserved!
Thanks Ron, no one would know me if it weren’t for supporters like you.
Congratulations on the invite to the meet and greet event Rick. Very well deserved. Absolutely looking forward to all the future content on not only that event but your own channel this coming summer as well!
Thanks so much, Joe. With such great supports, I’ve been able to make many inroads in this world and I thank you for your part in supporting me.
You being invited to this summit has everything to do with your influence vs the number of subscribers you have. Plus you seem like a very nice guy I’d like to meet someday. There’s a particular influencer who , although is highly successful, is just so over the top arrogant . Everything has to be the best and most expensive. Not to name names but his initials are MM. you’re everything he isnt .Anyway I digress. Your kindness and sense of style is what appeals to me and hope for you to have continued success. Enjoy Chicago . Their pizza is a casserole.
I still find it awkward to see and refer to myself as an influencer. It was certainly not my intention (not that there is anything wrong with pursuing a career as an influencer), but I am simply a car guy that enjoys maintaining his car and next thing you know I have a UA-cam channel and people are requesting my services. It really is overwhelming in a. good way. I don't appeal to everyone, which is fine because that's the beauty of it. We can find people we connect with and enjoy each others contributions. I have been very fortunate to have met and benefited from knowing a wide variety of people with all kinds of different personalities. It reminds me a lot of my Oakley hobby back in the day. Many different people but all sharing one common obsession.
Such an amazing video RIck, I just love watching the edits, the music is on point, and of course just the end result!
Rick we got to get you to try Labocosmetica 3ph system for prewash and stuff its awesome
Thanks Eddie. I had a lot of fun with this one. Things seemed to come together very nicely. I had been looking forward to making it for a few weeks.
Your cinematics and music selection has a James Bond Vibe. This alone is a gift you give us viewers. Rick it’s like your making love and romance with car. Your next level Rick👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😔
I will admit there is a sensual feel to it all!
Looking great , congrats on the meet-up in late April.
Thank you
For the videos
I am happy to provide viewers with some momentary relief from the stresses of real life!
Great work, Rick! Love your effots and attention. Just great. Be well. Stay rad, yourself.
Thanks so much. I hope to bring viewers some fun projects this summer so be sure to check back time to time!
Amazing transformation, so jazzed to see you going to Chicago. You’re gonna have a blast!
I just hope people like me. I can't have a repeat of Junior High.
Hello Rick, what a transformation! Another RAD quality video. I'm a loyal subscriber from Portugal. And yes, I think you should have and you deserve many more subscribers💪👍🇵🇹
Thanks Henrique. I'm grateful for each and every subscriber. Thankfully, this video seems to be catching on with some new ones!
Amazing transformation as usual, with a harsh Canadian winter style to it! Finally got to wash my truck outside since it was so nice out! Congrats on the invite from Chicago Auto Pros! I really hope they will be able to host virtually the event!! 🤞
I have not heard anything about live-streaming the event. There are all kinds of collaborations planned. I’ll be sure to share some events ad they are happening. I’m very excited about this.
Way to go Rick. Happy for you my man. I always enjoy your channel. I hope this helps blow up your channel to big numbers. And I can actually HEAR the gritty sound that sand makes. 😂😂 Good luck. Have a great trip.
The sound is pure torture!
Wow Rick! That’s about as dirty as I’ve seen the SQ5! Looks great again!
I do think this is the worst it has ever been. The roads are completely covered in mud.
Thanks a lot for the video. Staying rad for all time 👌🏻
Thanks for watching and I’m happy to hear you are staying RAD!
Congrats bud. Excited to see this. You're so humble, but it makes total sense you'd be invited to this!
Thanks Nick. No one has been more supportive of me than you!
Great as always, RAD! Congrats on getting to go to Chicago!
I am really excited to meet up with so many people in Chi-town. I need to start planning for the trip very soon.
Thanks for that great SQ5 deep cleaning video and congrats for these new exciting projects Rick! Greetings from Switzerland
Thanks Alex. Your support and the support of my viewers is the only reason I am getting these amazing opportunities, so THANK YOU!
Thanks, RAD, love the new look!
Thanks. I'm always trying to improve the look and feel of my videos. Glad to hear it is appreciated.
Under all that dirt is a gorgeous SQ5! Great work Rick!
It came out pretty nice!
@@RADGarage Absolutely👍🏻
I was enjoying the matte brown look!
I couldn't believe how bad the back was.
Great wash and clean-up, Rick! It looks all dialed in and ready for another hammering lol.
And hammered it is...
Great work as always Rick. Congrats on the forthcoming Meet and Greet 🙂
Thanks Nadine. It will be fun to hang out with some of my detailing idols.
Perfect work😍
Thanks 😄
As always, great video. The Audi was absolutely hammered man! Brought it back to life! That's awesome your heading to Chicago.. that will be a great adventure. 👍 stay RAD my friend!
I doubt you see many vehicles that dirty in your parts! Chicago will certainly be a blast. Lots of guys we met online and now I can shake their hands. Next trip will be out your way!
@RAD Garage You got that right! I don't think I've ever seen something that dirty🤣. Most definitely will be looking forward to when your or my way buddy that's for sure🤙✊️✊️
Amazing work as usual Rick, even if you have the winter in canada in mind, with tons of dirt and salt on the street. It is very difficult to keep a car in this shape like you do, so my respect on this way.Your location is really a role model just like your love for the deatail, cleaning the smallest piece. Hope your chanell will come up the ground, even more than 50.000 suscribers, so please keep on movin.
Stephan from germany
Thanks so much Stephan. The winter certainly proves a challenge, but I think I do the best I can to deal with it. I am happy that we finally seem to be experiencing some Spring-link weather conditions, but Spring brings a host of other environmental challenges as well!
Hey Rick long time mate...loving the channel, long may your passion and knowledge continue to inspire us all.....I love your view on not using your rear wiper as it creates micro scratches on the glass....I have been doing this for years and it certainly is true.
Lee! So great to hear from you my old friend. My wife can't stand the fact I won't use the rear wiper, but since I do 99.9% of the driving in our one-car family, it's my rules!
Dann's the man...
After a long time. As always awesome video. ♥️
I wish I could make videos every day!
Hi Rick - a great job as always👏👍
Thanks Barbara. I wish my car didn't ever get this dirty, but it is nice to know it can bounce back if and when it does.
so satisfying to watch your videos!!!
Thanks Pierre! It is always nice to receive positive feedback from viewers. 🤘
@@RADGarage as a detailer myself, I haven't had the opportunity to work on a car for the past two years due to taking a career break for my health and well-being. Watching your work not only brings me satisfaction, but also motivates me to get back into the groove of things and approach it with renewed passion.
Thanks. I enjoy the process of washing my car. I am planning a more comprehensive detail in the coming weeks as we seem to finally be leaving winter weather in the rearview mirror here. These winter washes should be called "survival washes" but I am looking forward to really dedicating some time to the areas of this car that don't see regular cleaning during the winter. I hope you get some opportunity to get back in that groove of yours!
Rick, after such an intense and satisfying wash, I personally would need to leave the car in the garage for 1 whole day to thoroughly enjoy it in that state. The following day can be a grocery run. Hahaha. Well done man. Can’t tell u how satisfying it is to see you do your work. Love it
I hear you. It kind of breaks my heart when it is so clean and there’s no way to preserve it. But, the family has to eat!
@@RADGarage and yet again, it’s in a weird way so satisfying to see it so perfectly clean, and go back out into the rain and snow. Haha
Love that audi color Rick...Great job and look forward to your summer jobs...
I just hope I won't be sequestered in the garage for the entire summer!
Good job Rick👍. Your car smiling 😃.
I felt bad that it stayed dirty for so long!
@@RADGarage Don't worry. She understand, that you only human, and you need to do many things in day/week👍
Now she totally clean and she absolutely happy😉.
Just returned from 2 weeks in California. A car with a plate RADGUY caught my eye, while in traffic. 👍🇨🇦
I like this guy!
Hi Rick!
Thanks for another great video!
I beleave you have more subscribers and more views in this summer👌
I shared this video for my subscribers👍
You're awesome. I have been watching all these amazing product lines you have been featuring on your channel. How do you store all the stuff you get?
Excited to finally meet Rick! Great video as well 🙌
We are going to have a blast!
Nicely done RAD! I didn't know your car had ppf. :D
Mine does too and its so satisfying to know that the winter won't be has harsh on the paint with gravel or other useless countermeasures during winter on the roads.
PPF is an absolute must in these parts. I am tempted to have my next vehicle completely wrapped in film for the reasons you listed. My car has the entire front end protected along with some other bits here and there.
Well, I definitely re-evaluated Italian Alpine weather after seeing this. I thought my car was filthy, but I guess I don't even have a clue about how bad it can get. Awesome job!
I am proud to say that I experience some of the WOrST winter conditions on the planet. But, I know some European guys who have to deal with road tar the crews put down on the roads in the winter to protect the roads from the salt. Terrible stuff.
Amazing video ❤
Thank you so much 😀
I can't wait to do the same to my Q5, it needs a good wash. Have a great one Rick 👍🏻
Thanks, you too!
Excellent work as always!
Thanks! I am very satisfied with how this video turned out. It has the right vibe.
Amazing video
Thanks man. I always appreciate it when people compliment my video work. It means a lot.
oh wow! Great job. I need to rethink my shower. I don't think my actual body has ever been as clean as that SQ5.
It hasn’t! 😂
Damn the SQ5 was mega filthy can't imagine how you've endured looking at the Car😅 great job as always, now it looks like it should
It was tough. But, I knew it would clean up nice once I found the time. And, it did!
Papa is here for a RAD production!!!! 🍿
Because Papa is RAD. He's RAD Papa.
@@RADGarage 🫡👍🤝
Another great video sir!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to working some DIY Detail products into my process real soon!
Rick… how do you do it? How were you not at the Oscar’s picking up Best Picture? Genuinely, another work of Rad Garage awesomeness. Another highly enjoyable and entertaining piece of detailing master craft. Thank you. Your fans in Old Blighty do appreciate it …. We may have a new king on the throne, but there’s only one king of detailing.
I am honoured to be mentioned in the same vein as his Royal Highness!
Thanks for calming my mind, Rick. I am in 403 as well. Let's meet when you have a minute. Thanks!
For sure. I am always happy for visitors to pop by. The summer is the best time because that is when the garage is in pristine shape!
Rad as always, Rick! You do great work on both the car and the videos!
Thanks, Jody. This one had a really nice vibe to it.
@@RADGarage Totally agree! Have fun in Chicago...one of my favorite cities!
@@jp2421 I agree. This will be my third time in Chicago and I love the place. Hopefully they will have some nice weather.
@@RADGarage I'm so jealous that I'm trying to work it so I can come for the Sunday event. But I'm also taking the wife to NYC the following weekend for her birthday, so we will see how it all shakes out. I'd love to meet you in person. I've been to Jason's shop and it's incredible.
Enjoy the Big Apple and maybe we'll see you in Romeoville! 🤘
Pretty sure its the quality of your work rick thats got you where you are mate 🙌
Well, I really appreciate that. I do believe the work I put into my productions is a slight cut above.
Truck looks great Rick
Thanks Mike. It is already filthy. Less than two days.
You the best!!
I appreciate that. This video has become popular, but I feel I have produced many videos that eclipse this one in terms of quality. I hope you will spend a bit of time checking out other videos on my channel. I take great pride in all of my videos.
Bombdiggity. It slaps. 😂
Like the kids say...
Incredible video as always my bru. Your shots are spot on and your detail skills are nearly unparalleled.
It brings me utter joy to capture the absolute beauty of the car wash process.
@@RADGarage and you do such a great job so keep it up.
Thanks for the support. 🤘
@@RADGarage always homie.
Hi Rick !
What a blast to be part of that event 👏!
I am really happy for you.
I mean you really deserve it.
The size of your audience does not really matter I would like to say because the content your propose each time is so awesome.
I am pretty sure bunch of other youtubers are taking example of your editing style and the way you are sharing your point of view.
I also think that your hobby has become more than that by always pushing the detailing one step higher.
Just by looking at the cars you pampered in your videos, we all agree to say that you reached the top mate.
Your garage is just an explicit image of what I am trying to say...
I presume it would be more obvious to say it in French 😁
Anyways, I am pretty convinced you understood what I meant 😉!
I am also looking forward to be following up next collaborations §
Take car and stay RAD 🤙!
Gregg
You're a guy who speaks English as a second language, you sure have a nice way of putting things. I appreciate the kind words you share each and every time I upload a video of my work. I take a lot of pride in what I do and it makes me extremely happy that people such as yourself appreciate it and find it appealing. I look forward to giving you more content to enjoy in the future. Stay RAD my friend. 🤘
@@RADGarage Thank you so much for these kind words Rick and for taking some time to answer each time.
I am also that type of guy who puts pride into my work or whatever I do.
Love having my things pretty tidy and organized.
Thus you can understand how peaceful and mindblowing it is for me to see your garage 😉.
Stay RAD my friend from far far away 😃
That was a RAD video, it’s paaaaaaaantastic you gonna meet some kool people in Chicago, congratulations on being picked, we need to get the band back together and do some livestreams
I would love that, Mike. I think my schedule will become less intense as my son's hockey season is wrapping up and so is the season for the Flames!
Amazing, Regards from México 🇲🇽
Thanks for tuning in all the way from Mexico! I truly appreciate the fact that detailing is a topic that people enjoy from all over the world.
Catching up on vids I haven’t seen yet….👍
Keep it up. I need the views!
I can picture you driving around thinking "oh no, it's going to be reaaaally dirty" with a satisfied smirk on your face.
Let's just say, I wasn't afraid to hit every puddle I came across!
I know the battle and struggle you are facing! Having the same issue in Quebec City with my SQ5. Don't know how long it took to get it that dirty but in my area it usually take 2 to 3 days to get dirty like that. Usually go through pressure wash once a week. Ceramic coating does help quite a bit. but around mid mars it totally gone. Winter is over now, we should be able to keep the car clean for at least a week very soon.
My car became this dirty after two weeks of neglect. The roads were just sopping wet with the usual melted snow, gravel, mud and crud that comes with the weather this time of year. I am glad others can relate. The coatings definitely take a beating, but they do serve their purpose, just not for as long as they claim. We seem to be in Spring now, but the temperatures are still quite chilly. Soon the pollen will arrive! 🤧
Very nice job. Wish I could make it to the meetup in Chicago. Maybe I can try and swing something. Would be nice to talk to a fellow "experienced" teacher that does this kind of stuff as a hobby and side "job".
We "teacher detailers" are a rare breed and it would be great to meet you. There is that Meet and Greet event on the 29th. I'm hoping some of my friends from that area will be able to make it. I am also hoping it will be nicer weather down there.
its finally nice to see someone with a car that gets as dirty as mine. I live in coastal North East. I saw you on TCC and wanted to come check your channel.
Yup, we got dirty cars up here let me tell ya. Thanks for dropping by. I am excited to meet up with Jamie next month.
@@RADGarage you guys were talking about how you edit your videos and let me tell you this came out great. If you have the time check out Davinci Resolve, there is plenty of how to videos on UA-cam about it. It’s an amazing resource. Looking forward of future content from you.
Yes, I will definitely look into Davinci at some point. I think some new editing software will help me bring some different elements to my videos. It is just such a time sucker when I dive into a new program, but with summer holidays approaching, it may be the right time. Thanks for the suggestion. Until then, I will continue to squeeze the most out of iMovie!
@@RADGarage you are right about it being a time suck.
Hello! I noticed that in the first phase of washing you are already using brushes. Wouldn't it be better to do this after removing the dirt? After all, a lot of sand after winter.
Yeah, I can see how you would think that. I will say that with the amount of quality of foam, plus the quality of the brushes I use, I do not feel like any harm comes to surfaces I use this method on. Plus, these areas are not super sensitive to micro scratches because they are trim pieces. Thanks for the question.
I’m surprised your subscriber count is not jumping Rick!! Another great production as always
Well, a lot of that has to so with the infrequency of my uploads, but I am happy to say this video seems to be attracting a few new subs! A very successful UA-cam friend of mine told me a while back, that people often need a little push to smash that subscribe button so I have been doing that a bit more in my videos. I hate to have to do it, but it really does seem to make a difference.
@@RADGarage it’ll be hard for you to be able to upload frequently due to your full time teaching work, but keep smashing out the quality contents 💪
Finally! ;)
Thanks Rick! Work has been hectic and I really needed this. Very satisfying, How did you like Wet Coat on your wheels?
I have been using Wet Coat quite a bit after each wash. I think it is the reason the wheels react so well to the pressure washer. Some people worry that grit is going to be driven into the wheels when I use the brush, but after the pressure wash, the nasty stuff is gone. That has something to do with the quality of the AR pressure washer, but I think the Wet Coat layer has something to do with it as well.
@18:30 what a crazy GLOSS Imagine how crazy it looks in real life
It amazes me how good the paint still looks after so many winters and over 110K kms.
Great video! Love how you show all the products you use. Question though, was this car ever ceramic coated?
Yes, the remains of a 2-year-old coat of Gyeon MOHS is all that’s left on my car. I’m going to be redoing it in the Spring.
Disaster for you is a little dusty for the average car owner. That looked like you drove through a mud pit!! Awesome results.
The streets are literally flowing with mud rivers. I can't believe what a sorry state this city is in. You don't see any cars that aren't absolutely destroyed. I did enjoy the one day I had a clean car. It is back to needing a wash. 🤦♂️
How do you get the coating on your tailgate to last so long during winter? Washing every week? And topping? I'm getting ready to do my SQ5 and I'm ripping my hair out on which coating will be best for Midwest winters. One more question: how many times have you paint corrected and how many times have you polished your car? I want to keep my car for awhile like you. 😊
Don’t be deceived into thinking the coating is responsible for the water behaviour you see in this video. Most of the original coating had been degraded. What you are seeing is the effect of whatever spray sealant or “topper” I used during my last wash. This MOHS coating is over 2 years old and has taken a beating in that time. I recently polished off the remnants of that coating and reapplied Nano Resin Pro by Dr. Beasley’s. I’m hoping it will perform well in these unforgiving conditions. I have never had to correct the paint on my car. I’ve never had the need to. Just fine polishes. Check out my latest vid when you get the chance.
I washed my car last night... driving to work I can see the road grime on the windshield... I live in Chicagoland land so we are still in the crap weather season
I think I am more relaxed when I am driving a dirty vehicle than a clean one. When the car is clean, it hurts when you get behind a car spraying dirt. So goes the battle...
I have a hard time believing your garage has ever been a mess, Rick! Congrats on the creator summit, well deserved, I'm sure you will have a great time in Romeoville! Wow, amazing transformation on the Audi, it's super satisfying when you get to wash off all the winter sludge; another great video, thanks for sharing and providing me with my Rad Garage fix. 🙂 Keep up the great work! Random question, do you do a pre-rinse of the entire vehicle, or go straight to the foam cannon?
Hey Clint, thanks for the well wishes. I haven't really felt the need to apply any pre-wash cleaner ahead of the foam. The foam eats the dirt off right before my eyes. If I were to use a pre-wash chemical, what would you suggest?
@@RADGarage Mostly just curious if you did a pre-rinse with either just the pressure washer alone or an APC-type pre-rinse. I don't use an APC pre-wash either (just a pressure washer rinse before the foam cannon), but I know some folks use a regular APC or something like diluted Super Clean as a pre-wash. If the foam does the job, I would stick with what works. Thanks for the information, and keep up the great content!
Personally, I love seeing that brown and white milky mixture of the dirt and foam shampoo as it hits the floor. It looks somewhat delicious and disgusting at the same time. I feel like the foam needs to show me what it is capable of without the benefit of a pressure rinse first!
@@RADGarage Absolutely agree! And judging by the results, I'd say your system works pretty well!
Watching this makes me miss my Q5 so bad!!
I'm sad that the flood claimed your Q5. Are you starting to feel the love for the Q3 yet?
@@RADGarage Not like my Q5!!! I miss it so much!! 😪 I LIKE the Q3! No love yet after a yr!
@@U2SuzyQ731 Poor Q3. Can’t live up to Sue’s true first love. 😞
@@RADGarage living in the sister's shadow!🤣
We are still talking about cars, right? 😬
Here for The Rad stayed for the Garage 🧼🇺🇸🇨🇦
Thanks bro!
Another typical RAD video - amazing.
Rick - what ratio of Adams tyre and Wheel cleaner did you use?
I don’t usually dilute the Adam’s stuff. Straight out of the jug!
Thanks Rick!!!!
18:56 - oh yes we know ! Greetings from Poland !
Those who don't know will never know the struggle. 💪
just out of curiosity, why do you rinse the hand wash off with a green hose and not the pressure washer?
I don’t see the point in using the pressure washer since rinsing off the soap is so easy after a hand wash with just a regular rinse. Plus, it is faster and doesn’t steam up the garage the way the pressure washer does.
6:35 isn't it safer to rinse the wheel first before going in with a wheel brush, to avoid scratches?
With the right wheel cleaner and brush, I feel confident that things will work out.
that dirt works better than any ceramic coating
Haha. I think you are absolutely right! This coating of dirt is like a bullet proof vest! We might be on to something here. 🤘
Hello👋🏻 from Russia🇷🇺. Does carpro lift cope in winter on its own or should I add carpro multiX to it?🤔
I think you may have even harsher road chemicals to deal with from what I hear from my Russian friends. A little MultiX could be just the trick. For me, the Lift was enough to get that very hard dirt off.
Really wish I could make it to Romeoville.
I am excited to meet and greet!
What would be the trick to get my IK foam to have the same bubble for the tire and wheel
I just swapped out the tip from one of the foaming sprayers on to the non-foaming 1.5 L Alkaline continuous sprayer.
@@RADGarage thanks I would definitely try that
Rick, why do you rinse with hose and not pressure washer?
I think a pressure washer rinse is vital after the pre wash, but when I am rinsing away the soap after the hand wash, I find a hose rinse is all that is required. Plus, it requires less water and doesn’t steam up the garage as much as when I use the pressure washer.
Rick, as another member of the wintery north, and one that will be building a garage in the near future - curious, do you have a drain in yours? If not how do you handle water run off?
A few years ago, I had a channel drain and catch basin installed. Huge game changer for me. Some videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLBkcWYR7ZEzjEny1NY4J7cnhUgvkQAOOh.html
Adding drains in newly constructed garages is becoming very tricky with the City tightening codes.
@@RADGarage Excellent, I'll check that out, and probably need to go deeper on my codes where I live. One other question if you have the time - if you were building a new garage today are there any key decisions you would make at the design stage to make your life easier than it is for you today (other than simply having more space)?

I’m happy to share my insights.
Nice content! Any reason that you dont finish the prewash stage before you go over the gaps/emblems etc with a brush. The soap is literally turning brown. Should just scratch the car alot
You're not the first one to express this concern. Let me assure you, the combination of quality soap, brush and technique makes this a safe process. It takes more than a soft brush carefully working quality soap into tight areas to swirl up paint. My car is over 5 years old and it is flawless. I think people drastically underestimate the durability of paint.
@@RADGarageIn general European cars have harder paint, it’s much easier to scratch a softer paint than a hard paint.
