Touchless Carwash

[MrMustangmichael]

supposed to rinse top to bottom jack ass!

[fwynn]

@MrMustangmichael Yes mustang guy...

[bl3ujay07]

i know its an old video, but what ration of MG gold class to water?

[fwynn]

@bl3ujay07

If you were to get a regular water bottle cap... i'd put 5-6 caps?

for gold glass you have to use a lot to make a nice foam.. Using other soaps like CG citrus.. u can use less and it will foam a LOT more

[bl3ujay07]

@fwynn Yeah, i have heard of a lot of other soaps for better foaming like DP xtreme foam. Thing is, walmart had a clearance on Gold Class @ $5/bottle, so i picked up a whole bunch before i got REALLY into detailing. On the label, it said 1 oz/gallon water, but i want to know the ratio for a good foaming.

[fwynn]

@bl3ujay07 This is what i would do.. Keep adding soap.. slowly and slowly.. more and more each time.. to get the foam consistency you want. Over soaping will just make the soap super bubbly rather than the good foamy bubbly.

[RainingSushi]

so does this automatically produce foam with the soap? can any auto soap be used in here or is it a specific item. I want to learn more about this for my next car so i can care for it well :)

[fwynn]

@RainingSushi

Yes it foams up automatically

any soap will work. JUST DO NOT USE The beaded ones.. it can clog the gun

[ThisSubtleDagger]

c'mon dude! when you're rinsing, start from the top and work your way down!

[fwynn]

@ThisSubtleDagger

if you rinse from top down.. you're running all the soap away. rinsing from bottom up keeps the soap on the car longer.. hence why i called it "scrubbing". when i actually rinse the car off (the 2nd time) i go from top down

[morgan2478]

lowered, rims, body kit...roof rack?

[addemoto]

Why is it that in every single car wash video I´ve seen, the car is pretty clean to start with?

[PhaDizzle]

@addemoto because people who care about there cars wash them weekly

[addemoto]

@PhaDizzle Yeah of course... I'm just a little jealous of the cars and the weather;) Where I live we have all the snow and salt to worry about. If I wash my car it's just as dirty as it was 1 mile later... But these cars aren't really ment for that kind of weather are they:) In the summer I wash and wax my bike every week too.

[fwynn]

@addemoto

Horrible camera quality :\.

dusty = dirty for me

clean = no dirt haha

[bloodntearz]

taken them fkn roof racks off ya sports car .. wat the hell are you thinking

[fwynn]

@bloodntearz

during this time, i was riding my bike. So i use the roof rack to transport my roady around., i took off the bike attachment and fairing so it's easier to wash

[bloodntearz]

@fwynn ok man but still your killing the sports car aye

[ThePeter74Peter]

Nice dent.

[fwynn]

@ThePeter74Peter

=[

[Jx1x3]

@bl3ujay07 lol! he can just use a gas powered blower to dry it without touching. just gotta work your way from above and go down the car, this will prevent swirls also, I've seen it done, looks weird but it works.

[fwynn]

@Jx1x3

I have an electronic plug blower.. i use it to dry the car off..

[Rosweld76]

not to be a bitch, bot those rims almost look too small

[fwynn]

@Rosweld76

those were 17x8. so i agree =[

but im using 17's only cause 18's are too big for "aggressive" driving..

currently i have 17x10 all around now :)

[atabist]

pedo bear...



[Jx1x3]

you touched it to dry it. false advertisement

[bl3ujay07]

@Jx1x3 Title says "touchless WASH"! It didnt say anything about drying. Just a FYI, washing and drying is different

[12danny21]

Do you just attach this to your hose or do you have a machine? thanks

[fwynn]

@12danny21

Pressure washer

[kintarben]

Idk what it is but I enjoy doing every little step by hand, it's like bonding time with my car :)

[offspringy]

This works to some extent, iv used snow foam and pressure and it just doesn't do as good a job as by hand, i tend to snow foam then pressure off then snow again then agitate with lambs wool then spray off with pressure.

[isctony]

not sure the roof bars are doing much for the looks lol ;D

[CHUCKL1DD3LL]

this should be called Topless Carwash

[AnhYeuEm1992]

sexy prelude

[ChrisGUGA]

Which brand and model pressure washer? Which model foam lance?

[fwynn]

@ChrisGUGA

karcher, forgot the model (its at walmart)

sorry forgot the foam lance model too

[thepainbob666]

nice lude bro!

[andytayt]

i used the scrubber on my BMW X5 and it took the paint of the wheels i would go careful with it mate!!!

[eshea5050]

@andytayt love my X5 man, I will never not own one if i had the choice

[andytayt]

@eshea5050 the jetwash comes with a lance for use on the car and the circular scrubber is for patios and decks really but i found out the hard way and i have recently sold the X5 for my Mercedes CLS just because BMW dont make the particular wheels I had on it i wash my merc myself the proper way but have the valeter down to do the aston lol

[DAZZER435]

Spraying the power hose that close to the car will create swirls

[fantomasz73]

next time rinse from top to bottom

[hutzman76]

@fantomasz73 rinsing from bottom to top is a complete facepalm

[Mariaeroman1]

Hi nice job were can I get that foam & whats the name?

[v12coupe]

missing the blow dryer

car is really clean btw

[RainingSushi]

Nice car bro!

[crombie92]

so do you feel good about yourself after this???

[chevyrules3]

How did you dry it?

[austderstine1]

@chevyrules3 yea thats my question too! maybe he used drying towels

[ITRLOVER]

sale it to me lol

[Cretuch]

Man I miss my 2001 SH black Prelude I had 4 years ago.

[sweetlikeADAM]

What a useless rack lol. Racks really aren't meant for Preludes...

[Jackcc5]

I like the fact that you are trying something different and it looks very useful. How ever I feel that the water blaster is a little to strong it could take the paint off.

[austderstine1]

@Jackcc5 it doesn't take the paint off!!! many car washes have those water blaster

[offspringy]

Nice car - Prelude FTW

[sjoey]

What dilution did you use? Looks like it was 1 oz with the rest filled with warm water, at a low dilution in th cannon.

[sjoey]

flip flops suck! bare foot or shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. nice results coming from Gold Class.

[evangorman2]

Is this the Autobrite foam cannon? Can this cannon be bought in the USA or is it just the UK?

[zomgbbqwth]

i want to do this but i'm scared the high pressured water jet might strip off my paint~

[austderstine1]

@zomgbbqwth haha scared????? come on man! many car washes have high pressured water.. it doesn't get the paint off dumbass

[zomgbbqwth]

@austderstine1

well, it did to my friend's car~ :) dont ask~

[lgman83]

lol @pedobear. 3:04

Did it get the wheels clean as well as the rest of the car or did you have to go over with a brush again?

[hinjew101]

what the hell ratio did you use

[dieselracer2010]

once again as stated below , where can this b purchased?

[SilverDGS]

[austderstine1]

@slurpy911 how big are you? you must be fat!

[slurpy911]

@austderstine1 130 lb...



[DetailDream]

The foam cannon is not intended to completely rid of the actual car wash. It is normally used to break up the contaminants before a real wash. You can also use the foam cannon if you have just recently fully detailed your car and need a quick wash because of a small layer of dirt or dust.

[LexusISFi]

circular scrubber is too harsh. I use it to do my deck..it rips the wood off..\!

[fwynn]

you gotta keep a nice distance :]

but yea it can get way too harsh if used up close

[pantloaded]

@fwynn ur close as fuck

[mazeyaj]

nice prelude lol

[glheigh]

Baffles me why everyone of these videos are all using CLEAN cars! any offers to come and video yourself washing mine with such great effect?? Its doesn't go unwashed for months, but it is used everyday in north east England weather! i awaite any offers!

[paulyhb]

If the car is prepped well and is kept topped up with wax, this method will work. I do this to my car and FWIW I'm from the NE.

[fwynn]

exactly :]

[Gamblor24]

Should spray top down, for future reference.

[fwynn]

Reason why you spray down top is because the water wont run the foam off.. if you know what i mean. You want the foam to stay as long as it can on the car. Then when you pressure wash it off the dirt will fly right off.

[pantloaded]

@fwynn so why not wait 2 minutes then go top down..

[2006redgt]

You still have to wash your car to make it clean unless it was only dusty. I hope none of you are dumb enough to think you can foam and then powerwash the car and it be clean.

[fwynn]

i only perform the touchless car wash if it's only dusty. and well waxed. if the car is in horrible condition then it will need to be rubbed downed by hand.

however my car never gets to that level

but so far everytime i wash my car. it leaves a perfect finish. no scratches at all. (checked under a halogen lighting)

[deepsilber]

Nice, but i'm hand washer =)

[flinchey]

@deepsilber you do this THEN hand wash. this doesn't get the really stuck on bits off, just the big chunks that cause scratches during hand washing. then once the car is fully waxed and polished, do this 1-2 times a week and your car will be permanently like this just about. no more need to hand wash after the first time.

[gregdavidson85]

It came out pretty nice considering you didn't scrub the car.

[fiestadetailer]

thats the idea of a touchless wash - on a well waxed car as it prevents any risk of inflicting swirls. you should never 'scrub' a car when washing anyway..

[fwynn]

^ yup

the only time you should really scrub is when your car is VERY contaminated. and all the dirty and grime are stuck on your paint and wont come off easily.

[Ill06Taco]

what is this foam cannon you speak of

[fwynn]

It was the attachment that i put on my Pressure washer.. it spits out foam pretty much :] lets the soap stick to your car w/o actually having to put it on.. risking to scratch your paint

[Ill06Taco]

whered you buy this attachment at? im interested in trying it out

[fwynn]

Sold it.. and the SC is crap compared to my lude

[902120]

sad to hear that a fellow SC member thinks that

[baoser2k]

MOTHA FUKER PUT A SHIRT ON

[richardklecka11]

4th gens look better,

[fwynn]

NEVER :D
