Wash, Vac, and Spray Wax - 02 Chevy Suburban - EHUTH1

[ehuth1]

• Degrease Problem areas (tar, bugs, mud etc...) and followed with quick Rinse
• Clean wheels, tires and wells with "The Brown Stuff" Spray on let sit for 5-10 seconds and rinse *Amazing AIO degreaser cleaner! Oh yea I've been taking chrome wheel acid (white lightning) and spraying on exhaust pipes to bring back the aluminum look. Works really well.
• FOAM GUN - 2 caps of DG901 and 1 oz of flash wax *Drying Agent
• Let this sit for 5 Minutes while I get a break
• Spray off foam. Start at the top and make your way down to the bottom.
• MF Towel dry using Wet-N-Wipe Speed Glaze QD. This breaks the water and releases so I'm not wiping beads but a thin layer of residual.
• Next we drag the vac out and start in the rear and come to the front hitting all the cracks and crevices.
• Grabbed a old MF towel and used some Awesome APC to clean the scuffs and cup holders.
• I always do the tires next along with the wells, running boards, and bumper trim, then I follow that up with the cleaning of the wheels and chrome bumpers if any.
• While I'm waiting for the tire shine to settle in I go inside and wash my hands and get my waffle weaves and AIM glass cleaner and hit all the windows inside and out.
• It's just about time for Souveran Spray Wax. This to works good outside so you can see your results. I don't know what sparks this stuff but when oxygen gets to it the paint starts to glow!!
• Now it's time to final inspect and take it back to the customer.

[Truls]

Nice write up, looks good.

wheels and wells detailed really "do" the differense on those cars

 

[RTexasF]

More info on the drying agent please. Truck looks very nice.

 

[scottgt]

:iagree:

 

[justin_murphy]

Very nice write up and process! I've been using some of the drying agent too. Work really well. My Guzzlers are about half as wet and I don't have to wipe the windows more than once.

 

[P1et]

So are you seriously not even washing these cars? Does the extreme SNOWSTORM of foam just "wash" the car for you?

 

[coupe]

Yeah im lost on the washing, there is no way its clean without actually touching it.

 

[Nica]

Yea me three, please explain becuase that just sounds to good to be true...but if it is true man I'm getting one...sweet.

I like the turn around, very nice...so clean.

 

[justin_murphy]

Oh yes.....yes there is.

Same principals as a rinseless wash. Chemicals do the work and then the final drying takes care of the rest. I've been doing it for weeks now. My clients love it and so do I.

This is just after foaming and then rinsing..........nothing has touched the surface other than water and chemicals.

 

[coupe]

Whats this drying *agent* then?

 

[coupe]

but if it is true man I'm getting one

Getting one what?

 

[guidosrx8]

there are many drying agents available...they are used mostly in commercial car washes in the rinse water to aid in the removal of water during the blowing off at the end....they consist of a water soluable silicone or polymer...and after a few days they die and feel grabby....

I buy my Hi temp products from the source above with the drying agents...He gave me a sample last year...I used it in the solution injector on my power washer..it did sheet the water great...made blowing it off with a leaf blower a cinch...

But a few days later the paint felt so dry as the agent must have died and left a residue....

but here is a list and what they do...

Al, seriously dude where do you find all of these things...I'm going to have to start calling you Mr. Know it all (oh no disrespect intended my friend ).

That's sweet, thanks for the explination.

 

[ehuth1]

Whats this drying *agent* then?

Just to reiterate on the drying agent. It's a small dose of flash wax that helps the soap sheet after the final rinse.
When DG901 claims it dries streak free... Well it my friends has a drying agent already mixed in, I'm just amping it up a bit.

Check this shot out ...

 

[coupe]

What is *flash wax*?

 

[DavidJ021]
