I kinda-sorta did this yesterday. At the touchless tunnel wash (it's cold here), I sprayed All Clean on the wheels, then I sprayed Incredible Suds all over the vehicle and wheels to dwell before I entered the wash. It really helped get it clean as the tunnel wash here says they use mild soaps. Impressive cleaning from both products. Only downside is the spray bottle that had Incredible Suds in it spilled on the way home and now the car smells like grape until I can properly clean the carpets lol
Hopefully you like grapes.
Amazing video and great points as always! Like you guys said dwell time is the most important for touchless washes. 💯
Thank you
A pleasure to watch your videos...so many great tips and techniques...I have to say you're certainly revamping the way we detail...
Thank you
Always tried doing this with my car and have gone through many different products to find which works best.
Finally the answer to what I have been looking for.
Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Can't wait to try these out👍🏾
Hope you enjoy
Great Video!
Thank you sir!
I took your advice and tried 8 oz of All Clean & 1 oz of Incredible Suds on my g/f's car as a pre-wash before taking it through the touch-free wash. This combo left ZERO road film after the wash, meaning IT WORKED! Now this isn't an economical ofcoarse and I'm looking forward to that future strong pH pre-wash you'll be coming out with💯
Next time try 2oz of All Clean, and 1oz of Incredible Suds .
@DIY Detail my first go around was using 4 oz All Clean and 1 gallon of distilled water in my IK Foam Pro 12 and that didn't work to well. The addition of Incredible Suds makes a good "carrier" for All Clean.
Correct
I used quick beads on a clients car today and i immediately fell in love with it. Anything that saves time is a win.
Thank you
great video love the no touch method.. I suggest after using the leaf blower use a smaller blower like the master blaster for precision drying on the spots the leaf blower can't get too like in between the gaps in the mirrors then you wouldn't need to use the dip catcher
Agreed
My current routine is to do a contact wash every 2 months (2 bucket wash, or rinseless), and a quick maintenance touchless wash every week (pre-soak foam, rinse, blow dry). It's not perfect but does 95% of the job with about 50% of the effort.
Very cool, what areas of the paint look the worst after your touchless method?
@@diydetailofficial definitely the rocker panels and behind the fenders have a bit of road grime, but everywhere else is pretty clean.
I do touchless washes once a week. Only do a full detail on my vehicle once a month.
Good
This is awesome. I've been researching how to get the best touchless wash. I love that Incredible Suds has a slightly higher pH. Also, great point about using Incredible Suds first because I was thinking of using All Clean first but I think your idea on that is better. This is also great during winter.
Thank you
Meguiar's hyper wash has a ph of 9.0-9.8, and you can get it at harbor freight for under $30 a gallon. Best "bang for your buck" out there, imo.
@@5hift6ear time to go back to math class. Sure it’s only $30 per gallon, but you use 4-5 times more. Equivalent cleaning to DIY Incredible Suds means 4 gallons to do what 1 gallon of DIY Detail does.
@Having Too much fun Meguiar's hyper wash dilution ratio is 400:1 which is roughly 1 oz to 3 gallons of water. DIY Detail suggests 2-3 oz for a bucket wash. How does that translate to using 4-5 times as much? Sounds like you really are "having too much fun" and skipped math class yourself.
@@5hift6ear we made a mistake on the label, new ones are coming soon. 1oz in a foam cannon or wash bucket is all that’s needed.
You did what you promised, congratulations, now I know how it's done Thank You.
You bet 👍
Great video. What’s the difference between ceramic gloss and quick beads? I want to know the difference & what is better to use after doing a rinseless wash. Maybe you guys could do a video on it. Should I use one or the other? Can I use both after doing DIY rinseless? Thank you.
For Rinseless DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss is best, DIY Detail Quick Beads works best when you rinse
I bring my ik 12 in the trunk in the winter spray it down with a strong presoak then go into a touchless wash. It just gets more dwell time. I always clean wheels, presoak, rinse hand wash then dry using air for wheels and most of the water then dry with a topper and towel when weather permits.
Excellent!
Bilt Hamber touch less does this the same if not better than a contact wash. High ph soap. Are you saying this process gets all the traffic film and salt off during a Canadian winter too?
Yes it does, and much more.
I do this pretty regularly with my car! I foam it and then spray some sort of rinse off protection. I usually like to drive my car around the block to get most of the water off and then use a very soft drying cloth! My car is pearl white and I’m not worried about any love marks! With my car ceramic coated and adding the wash of wax it rolls right off! 👏💦✨
Thanks for sharing!
You should invest in a good ego blower or car blower and some good microfiber drying towels like the gauntlet so you can save gas. It’s more effective than driving around the block, as you can pick up debris and dirt again.
Great video guys. What is your pressure washer set at to rinse your products in this video? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Roughly 1000 psi with a 15 degree nozzle
great vid guys....i used the all clean on my lexus as a pre-soak at full strength. in vid is stated u applied it at 10/1 dilution ratio. did i waste product???? are the dilution ratios similiar to power clean???
If it’s from the 16oz bottle you did well, if you used it from the gallon, unfortunately you used too much.
In the video it was diluted from the Gallon at 15/1. It’s much more concentrated than most other APC’s on the market.
I tried this process and it did not work as well as a contact wash.
After the iron remover step, I ended up using Rinseless wash sprayed directly to the dirty areas and then used a sponge to loosen the road grind/dirt and then use my pressure washer as I went along to clean off my sponge since I did not have any buckets handy.
The good thing is that I now know I can pressure wash my car and not have to pull out a bucket and my clothes stayed dry!
Yes, it’s not meant as a cleaning step for a dirty car, but as a no touch decontamination.
I would normally not reply to that kind of a statement, however, because I think you guys are bringing a needed personal caring touch to the detailing community, I feel I need to let you think about your statement, and then go listen to the very first opening sentence of that video and other statements and other statements during your video…and consider the statements made in your video or your response…I am not trolling, I have bought over $200 worth of product from you.
VERY well said - I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice the contradictory, and quite frankly, misleading statements
The touchless method simply doesn't get a genuinely dirty car as clean as a touch wash (you admit this in another thread here).....BUT.... that's using "typical" water pressure.
I'd like the following questions answered:
a) What pressure would be required to achieve the same result as a contact wash?
b) At this pressure, is the amount of wash marring more, same, or less, than a contact wash?
I know there are many variables
Generally you would need very high pressure, enough to potentially damage the clearcoat. A contact wash is still the best option.
Great video as always! If you didn’t use the master blaster/blower you can let quick beads fully air dry, correct? Thanks so much!
Quick Beads may cause spotting on the surface depending on your water.
Thank you!
Does quick beads need to be finished off with a towel dry. Or it works simply with a rinse? Also Is a garden hose sufficient for quick beads?
No need to towel, and yes a garden hose is sufficient.
Greta vied do guys👍 learn something new today great tip
Glad you enjoyed it
How long did the was take and how could I do the process with diy rinseless foamed up?
It took us roughly 40 minutes. Yes you can use DIY Detail Rinseless Wash in place of DIY Detail Incredible Suds.
Very interesting! Can a good quality hose-end sprayer on 60 - 70 psi work as a pressure replacement, or is a pressure washer required for this process?
Not required in any way.
So the pressure isn't needed to get it 100 percent clean? Thr chemicals alone can lift the traffic film too etc and produce same results as a contact wash you're saying?
Can you use a Master Blaster to dry a car that's been washed via the rinseless method?
Yes, but a good towel actually does a better job. Unlike when the wash is rinsed off with water, there’s no danger to the paint.
Hi Ivan, would you recommend All Clean on interior glass to get rid of off-gassing? If so what dilution? Thank you.
Yes 60/1
Generally speaking, do spray on rinse off products such as Quick Beads have similar protection duration as spray on wipe off products?
In our case, yes
Thank's again for the tips on the Fantastic 5 DIY.How long did it took to add all 5 products in total and will you charge more🤑.Regards
It took us about 40 mins to do this car. This is not the best option for regular washing, more a decontamination wash.
When would you use the tree sap remover in this process?
Only if you have tar, adhesive, or tree sap
do your using the All clean as a high ph cleaner and the Water spot remover which is a lower ph or more acidic correct? dpeakingof what is the ph of your water spot remover?
Can this process be used with a car that has no protectant and your using these products to prep it for a eax.or sealer or cermaic coating etc Ivan?
Hi there, Water Spot Remover is on the acidic side of the ph scale, whereas All Clean is more alkaline. Yes this would be a great way to prep your vehicle for a ceramic coating -- with the caveat being that you would want to do all of this *plus* contact wash. I wouldn't want to cut any corners at all when prepping for a coating, so that includes wash, Iron Remover/decon towel, and Water Spot Remover which you would then rinse off the paint. If you're coating the car, I would also prefer to polish and then apply panel prep before coating. But as we showed in this video, we applied Quick Beads at the end so it was protected -- so for basic wash, decon and protection? This method can absolutely be used. Any further questions, please feel free to reach out to Yvan directly (yvan@diydetail.com) -- I know you asked for him to answer directly. This is Nick btw. Have a great day!
Can a detailer use the ik to rinse the tires or the paint?
Yes
Can I foam on the all purpose cleaner with my foam cannon? What would be the dilution rate since it’s being mixed already with water?
5/1, but unfortunately you will loose some efficiency. The other option is to spray it on the surface at 15-1 with simply a pump sprayer or spray bottle.
@@diydetailofficial thanks so much
Is it safe to use the rinseless wash on a matte finish?
Absolutely!
Is the waterspot remover safe on all exterior surfaces? Trim etc…I’m assuming it’s acid based? Also…is quick beads safe on matte/satin paint?
I don't know about the water spot remover but I've seen Yvan use it on his matte bus. It doesn't make it glossy but protects it
Yes DIY Detail Water Spot Remover is acidic on the PH scale. When used per directions it’s safe on all exterior surfaces. DIY Detail Quick Beads is great on all paints and wraps.
Hi team just an idea why you don’t use the foam cannon for drop beads so you will have better control and you will do faster 😊
We have , it works great.
Would you recommend spraying All Clean onto the car -lower panels and wheels at least, and then cover in foam with Incredible Suds …if car is really grimy?
Yes. If you’re going to use the decontamination towel, make sure the DIY Detail All Clean is rinsed away.
I feel this video, washing my black V always worries me.
Nick here…I’ve had some embarrassingly long paint correction jobs before I ceramic coated black cars…and when they would come in for maintenance washes I would always want to really baby them. This would be one such method:) just make sure you’re not in direct sunlight
@@diydetailofficial I don’t have a way to wash indoors so I just wait for a good overcast day but don’t do much dwell time on any step. I’m self corrected and coated. Love the videos!
@@JaredS23 thank you.
“Did I already get this panel” sticking it to yvan loll 🤣
lol
I regularly clean my car and never get it too dirty. My question is if I can get by with just this touchless wash process and forgo contact washes altogether (unless I'm polishing)? Or is contact washing semi regularly still something that would need to be done?
Yes a contact wash is needed
Is the water spot remover safe on matte paint? Or ppf?
Yes it is.
How are bug guts on the front and windshield are removed during this process?
Those may need agitation
I thought APC shouldn’t be apply to window. Or is it just power clean?
This is a newer technology, I still would not allow it to dry on windows in the direct sun.
So I know this is a touchless wash but if I’m going to be polishing the vehicle after at what step would I use my decontamination towel?
With the DIY Detail Iron Remover.
Is there a video to explain how quick beads can work so quick with so much water. Even as you show spraying it into the stream of the pressure washer. What is the way which it bonds to the surface
Unfortunately not at this time
Hey guys. Would your All Clean strip any waxes, sealets 7:37 etc. if the car wasn't ceramic coated? PH 12 is pretty high.🤔
It depends on the wax or sealant.
Is All Clean safe for painted surfaces as long as its diluted 15:1?
Yes
How much water do you suppose this used compared to doing a contact wash?
Way too much
Sorry, if this question has already been asked, but does it make sense to spray on Rinseless wash as Step 1 to start the cleaning process?
Our Rinseless Wash is a great way to pre treat the paint before the initial pressure washer rinse on most exterior details/washes. This was just a specific method where we foamed incredible suds, but you could absolutely have foamed rinseless instead
@@diydetailofficial I apologize that I didn’t make myself clear, do you believe it would be helpful to use Rinseless wash BEFORE incredible suds?… adding a pre-step if you will….
You could, but really no need.
Is touchless safe for ceramic coating
Yes
I need those quick beads badly
Https://diydetail.com/pages/distributors
Ivan mentioned that using this method on a ceramic coated vehicle would make this process easier, but wouldn't using spot remover and or iron remover hurt the coating? Thanks
It will not hurt a good coating. Ceramic Coatings are designed to resist chemicals.
@@diydetailofficial yet certain chemicals can help remove a coating for paint prep do you not agree?
@Anthony To remove a coating requires some form of abrasion like paint polishing. The paint prep chemicals I assume you are referring are for prepping paint to remove any polishing oils from polishing the old coating off.
@Bluegrass Kid havnt you ever seen the "chemical torture tests" on coatings. They do have an effect on some coatings
Will a 100% hands free technique work on a dirty car that isn't already protected?
It’s not the best use of this technique.
One tip I can give on dripping mirrors that you guys probably are aware of but others may not be is to fold the mirrors back & forth while blowing out to help force out the trapped water. I also move actual glass of the mirror back and forth and blow out behind there as well😊
Exactly, same what I have done for years!👍👌
Good tip 👌 thanks
Yes, but on some older cars, move them with caution.
@@diydetailofficial yes, always inspect them before starting so you know where are the red flags
Good products.
I can see you are not using nose masks are the products not harmful when inhaled
Not in a well ventilated area.
Guys, another great video, your editing team needs to redo the thumbnail on this video. People need to know is about decon, not just a wash.
Our editing team is Nick (aka me) haha thanks for the feedback I’m going to leave it there for now because thumbnails are a pain and this video seems to be doing well:) the decon is in the title, hopefully that helps people once they see the thumbnail
@@diydetailofficial that’s a shame, most people don’t go past the thumbnail
Heys guys, any tips on how to make exhaust tip rusting less visible? I had a new muffler put on my car a few months ago and the exhaust tips have been rusting like crazy. Paint is all nice and shiny and the exhaust is all rusted 😂
We actually have a Metal Ceramic Coating exactly for this purpose: diydetail.com/products/metal-ceramic-coating
Unfortunately there’s nothing really effective other than adding an aftermarket tip
You don't need to agitate with the water spot remover?
It does a great job on salt with dwell time…then rinse off. If you’re wanting it to work on water spots, then agitation is a critical step. This car is in the Midwest where road salt is a huge issue for car paint, and water spot remover does a great job on the salt
@@diydetailofficial For agitation can we take the wash mitt and rewash the panel?
I always wonder how easy or hard or time consuming it is to clean the floors of your workshop? The floor looks very grippy, so that you don’t slip. However, it must be a nightmare to clean 😂
It is slippery, and to clean it you need to remove it.
Where are the close up shots of the car to show the before and after dirt from that showroom clean car
It was a one camera shoot 😂 we did use the cell phone close up with water spot remover dwelling but I (Nick) need to do a better job of before and afters…
doing all that wont impact the car if it has ceramic coating or wax or any type of protection ? sounds like this wash method will break down or make that protection life a lot shorter no ?
For a wax this is definitely not going to do anything to make it last. A good Ceramic Coating will take it in stride and come out the other side happy.
@DIY Detail do you not agree Ober time harsh chemicals can degrade a ceramic coating or things like quick beads etc. I put a strong apc on a coating it will knock it down more than just water. There are some chemicals than can strip older coatings and paint prep etc is that not true?
@@anth115 If an APC had a noticeable affect on a coating, I would look into a different coating.
@Bluegrass Kid fair enough . Most coatings toward the end of their life aren't as chemical resistant
Bit off topic, but I've been using a paint cleaner cream (by hand, with a MF towel) for thorough decon, and i was sceptical about even TOUCH decon using APC & iron remover fluids etc being as effective. I've just tried an experiment though - i used an APC, followed by an iron & fallout remover, just gently agitating with MF towels. I then rinsed, and finally tried rubbing a lower section with the paint cleaner, that I know would have given up some brown grime - but my cloth was totally clean. 🕺 (I did a neighbouring panel just a few days ago just with the paint cleaner - it was dirty).
Unfortunately though i don't have easy access to a hose. BOY OH BOY is it a lot of work to rinse the iron remover off with a spray bottle!! It takes many many passes and many cloths. (I'm using the Gtechniq product at the the moment)
It’s definitely better done with a hose.
@@diydetailofficial also, I'll try using a lot less iron remover next time, per another video from you, where you use it very sparingly, with a synthetic clay towel
That helps dramatically.
can you towel dry after this if you want to?
Yes
you two remind me of Mr. White and Jesse classic dual in Breaking Bad
Is that because Yvan is bald?
@@diydetailofficial not just that. his voice sounds like Bryson Cranston, the age gap similar with those two, the chemistry of you both. one is chill and other is serious.
Funny! All your videos I've seen start out with a very clean and shiny car.
Here’s one for you
ruclips.net/video/-TqeJdW3zr8/видео.html
Just put a flashing sign by the rabbit hole for me because I do this once a year.
Nothing wrong with a rabbit hole you go into willingly.
Touches the car at the end.
MISSION FAILED. WE’LL GET ‘EM NEXT TIME!
Lol, it was so glossy we couldn’t help but touch it.
@@diydetailofficial I woulda done the same thing 😂
Awesome. Now do this with a dirty car with no previous coating 😩
Works just as well.
Have you ever tried Quick Beads in a foam cannon?
Yep! Works great
@diydetailofficial How many oz do you recommend for the foam Cannon? I'm assuming this method will be using more product...
This has Dane Hennen written all over it...
Dane is great, thanks for the compliment thinking he had a hand in this.
@@diydetailofficial I know he didn't, but Dane loves a good shortcut. 🤣
True
Let's wash an already clean car!! Genius
This is more aimed a a touch free decontamination.
@@diydetailofficial title says "how to wash"
@@USConnexion if you actually watch the video or read the description…
Car was not even dirty to begin with.
the dirtiest vehicles definitely will benefit from both rinse steps and contact wash, but there is room between a and z for some nuance and techniques to get you a clean car:)
Yeah, because it’s a nice car that has been looked after. I do a contact wash on my Tesla maybe 4x a year. I’m meticulous with it, thanks to these guys 👌🏼
Question…do you guys “actually” get along?
Does it seem like we don’t? Lol curious what your perception is
What you see on camera is the same as off camera.
@@diydetailofficial yes to me but if you guys are cool & can work together awesome. I just picked a lot of condescending comments…🤷🏼
Just watched a different video from y'all saying that you can't just clean touchless. Y'all contradict yourselves a lot
We give different options
@@diydetailofficial By contradicting yourself?
You can wash touchless, but it’s never as good a result. We made this video to answer a viewers question who absolutely doesn’t want to touch their vehicle.
@@diydetailofficial Thanks for responding to criticism professional. I was confused when you mentioned on this video that it's just as effective. Now I understand better. By the way I'd love to see you guys grow and y'all's videos are always entertaining and educative.
Thank you
What a joke, that car was already cleaned
Let us know when you try it.
It’s not a joke, they make the best stuff on the market, have set a new standard in the industry imo. I was skeptical too at first but when I tried their rinseless & ceramic spray, I was blown away. They also make the best iron remover glove on the market too. I have no affiliation with them, just a regular guy who’s always used ONR & Meguiars x-wax combo, but not anymore. Check out detailing made simple’s RUclips channel, he puts their products through all the paces and the results are the best I’ve ever seen (him too).
Thank you!
The Nick Glug Glug Method 😳🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know that’s how I roll 😂😂😂
Ivan, does Nick ever do anything right? 😂
Yes
Second
wasn't very dirty... is that short for... was already clean before you touched it. I think this has been the worst marketing video I've seen yet making robust promises to detailers who may not know better.
No it was definitely dirty just not super caked on grime. It’s the owners baby so he doesn’t drive it a ton in the winter time. Maybe try the method before you knock it:) it doesn’t mean it’s perfect for every car or situation, but it’s certainly a way to do the job
This car didn't look that dirty. When is this method a no go?
A touch free service needs a vehicle that doesn’t have thick caked on dirt.
it always makes me sad to see youtube channels start with a squeaky clean car in these type of videos. There is no way for us to see if the car got clean or not ... I can't even watch the video bc it would be a waste of time since its already clean
The goal of the video is more decontamination. Thank you for commenting.
@@diydetailofficial what does the title imply?
i tested it against another product. i will go to chat to discuss with u nick/yvan
Happy to answer your questions.
