    Clearly put a tremendous amount of effort into the video and the result? A very professional and informative video that people can use to apply themselves.
    You're as meticulous in making your videos as you are in the way you clean your cars.

    I find myself using a combination of all those techniques based on what I'm doing or what part of the car I'm working on. If I'm doing a panel by panel rinseless wash with ONR I use a waffle weave drying towel and dry panel by panel. I find the pat method takes way too long otherwise if I'm doing an entire car. Normally when I do a two bucket wash I will lightly mist the panel with a quick wax to use as a drying aid, and then drag a high pile microfiber over the surface. This also happens to be the fastest drying technique with a towel. And for the lower panels I just fold and wipe so I don't get dirt on my towel. Thanks for sharing, that's one beautiful car!

    Although I didn't agree with the towel drying process. As I read the comments, I noticed that the video publisher has a great sense of humor. Therefore I gave this video a Thumbs up!!

    Excellent technique and explanation for uses of the different types of drying towels.A pooling rinse will eliminate a high percentage of the standing water on the car, usually around 70% or more.Really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work!

    That green color is absolutely spectacular! Overall, it's a stunning car for sure. I'm glad to see that most car manufacturers (even the mainstreams) are offering much more vibrant colors as options in recent years. The late 60's and early 70's have returned in color offerings! And car manufacturing itself has come such a long way since then also. Many cars now offer the black rims as options or standard availability whereas years ago you would have never seen those, even as a custom fitting. I guess the ability to make them just wasn't there years ago or at wasn't easy at least. The only option you had was to "paint" your rims black years ago. All these "custom" or "one off" rims weren't even dreamed of. There was a few rim companies out there for sure if you wanted custom, but NOTHING like today where you can actually create and have your rims built to your exact specifications using C&C machines, laser cutting machines, and 3D printers! AMAZING.

    I've never had any issues with wiping dry with a waffle weave. I know its pile isn't as deep. But I'm guessing you would have to have a REALLY dirty or contaminated car to actually cause damage with a waffle weave. Even if it did cause light marks, I don't think there's too many ways to clean a car without at lest leaving some kind of marks

    • @TheBerkeleyGang
      @TheBerkeleyGang 8 лет назад +3

      Junkman2000 and AmmoNYC both have good videos on MF cleaning. In short: Wash alone in hot water. You're pulling out oils and waxes, so use something like Shout with your detergent. I prefer a liquid detergent. Repeat wash/rinse cycle without any detergent to ensure all soap residue is removed. Then hang dry. Get a drying rack at Walmart or elsewhere household goods are sold and dry your MF towels inside (not on a clothes line, and never in a dryer where the heat and residual fabric softner will ruin your towels.
      That said, you'll never recover your MF towels that you've washed with other fabrics. Don't even bother. They've pick up lint and absorbed softener that will never come out good enough to use. You now have some very expensive shop rags. Consider it a learning experience. Go get some good MF towels, and treat them right.

    • @shepherd3085
      @shepherd3085 8 лет назад +3

      TheBerkeleyGang you want warm not hot. hot will "burn" the micro and it will lose is absorbent property also it will feel harder and not as soft

    I know this video is principally about drying technique but have had a 2019 991.2 GT3-RS and want to know when power washing are there areas to avoid spraying directly like the side air vents or the rear vents near the wing? Any possibility of wetting any air filters in the process is my biggest concern?

    • @CarCleaningGuru
      @CarCleaningGuru  6 лет назад +1

      Obviously you wouldn't want to spray directly into the vents but some overspray isn't going to do any harm. You could place a folded towel or scrunched up plastic bag in there if that helped keep your mind at rest but just remember to take them out afterwards!
