Danny. Great to see you trying new things to get better. It's always a pleasure to watch you in action.
Thank you brother
1 I use a leaf blower for
*Grilles
* Lug Holes
* Mirrors
* Headlights, Tail Lights
The tight spots.
Awesome method, I’m sure the one bucket diminishes a lot of love-marking its worth a try.
Good work Danny, good luck man!
For a completely trashed Midsize SUV like a forester I’d probably charge $300.
Sand, Pet Hair, Body Stank.
Good work Man! I’m looking forward to trying that method.
Hey, I’m glad you might give it a try. Yeah I like the blower. That has that finishing touch and doesn’t leave those drips. But for an SUV coming from Bernie man even if you’re not charging much for a regular Details, I would go at least $600 for a burning man car it’s crazy
Be good to yourself, be good to others, don't detail angry and stay away from burning man 👍
Yessir! Great tip! Lol
I like the new method looks very efficient and safe because you're not reusing the same mitt. Great video
Thank you. I like it a lot and use it practically every time.
Hey man. I’m your neighbor in Inner Richmond and it’s great to see you busting bast 2k views. And props to your videographer who’s a character.
Thanks so much Justin! It’s great to get the local support. Hope to see you on more videos. And yes my videographer is a character. His name is Reyes The Entrepreneur. He’s also on RUclips.
I like how you have that positive energy. I applaud your work ethic 👍🏼
Thanks so much. Can’t get anywhere being negative right?
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ Exactly, always stay positive. Everything happens for a reason is my motto in life.
Very efficient work Danny! Keep it up! I have my first detail this week along with other odd jobs! Finally put myself out there. Your videos are very encouraging. Thank you!
All right! Good luck on the first detail. Just take your time and let the customer know that it could take a while. So you don’t have to rush. And just enjoy it.
Good luck 👍 brother. Way to put yourself out there. Danny is a good down to earth realistic dude to learn from. BTW anyone wanting Sonax products autogeek is 15% off til tmrw the 22nd.
Trying to wash a car A dark paint car in the direct sunlight with one person you're a brave person! Nice video hope you make a lot of money this week and don't work too hard!
Don't forget to include water from the tap! The weather is just not that hot here. So it gives me more time to move around the car. But I really like to keep the paint wet at all times.
You have a great attitude, I wish you success with your business !
I liked how you included the scene of talking to the customer very good communication
Thank you so much. Yeah that was a nice added touch or bonus.
Grea video danny . Advice you can use superior formula 4 spray wax after wash cars and that will save you from water spots and it will make it easier to dry car with blower
Thank you very much. I actually just ordered the stuff. It’s sitting in my storage unit now. I think I will fill up my 2 gallon old-school pump sprayer and use that too apply before drying, since you mentioned it. Thank you
You’re so funny man. You said it perfectly about burning man without actually saying it 😉. I’d charge a grand minimum plus add on for the hazmat suit.
Haha! OMG, I could have gone deeper but this is a family channel! lol
Aerosol tire shine comes out really good but can be very expensive when your doing a lot of cars…the liquid in a spray bottle with an applicator putting on tire shine is a lot more cost friendly
I just upcharge for "Wet Wheels" vs my standard water based tire dressing
I completely agree with what you were saying. My other method is using VRP with a tire applicator. But it just doesn’t give the results that I like to see. To be honest it’s just depends on the mood I’m in. Lol
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ yea I completely agree the aerosol does seem to last longer and look wetter…I use that on my higher end customers who pay premium prices. Just doing a lot of details with it can add up after the end of the month rather then using liquid tire shine with an applicator which I buy in 5 gallon jugs. Your doing a great job though and I like your page a lot. Been detailing PT/ FT for over 10 years. Did it 7 years full time and then another 3 PT but been cleaning cars for 18 years starting at 15 with my dad and grandpa…my grandpa at 91 years old can detail probaly better then most of these guys on RUclips believe it or not
Totally. And thanks for watching give me feedback. That’s cool you’ve been doing it for so long. Quite a story!
Best method in my opinion. Makes it easy and safe way not to contaminate.
I use good Microfibre clothes though that are dedicate just for washing..
Great video
Definitely. Definitely. I usually only use the microfiber cloths if I forget my wash mitts. Or if I’m doing a rinseless on my car. I’m thinking of getting dark colored wash mitts for the lower parts of the car and rocker panels. so that I don’t Cross contaminate too.
Yep great idea. I keep everything separated from interior to engine bay cloths etc
Great video! One thing I would change is either foaming up the car before you start your contact wash or keep mitts in bucket with soapy water - reason is I noticed as you kept them on the hood, they became less soapy and most of the panels looked too dry and lacked lubrication, so obviously this increased chances of micro scratches and marring. Give it a try
Thank you Anthony, and great points. I do need to foam down the car. I think about that all the time. And since I’m not using a pressure washer, I don’t really have a foam cannon. But I do have IK prayers. I will definitely give it a try.
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ you could also use one of those foam guns that you attach to a garden hose. Not as much foam as a pressure washer foam canon but still much better that nothing
I've been using a cordless leaf blower to do the initial drying of my customers vehicles. After that I use a drying towel to get the rest of the water off the vehicle.
makes total sense. Exactly what I do.
Danny what I would recommend instead of using the 6 mitts, use 3 clean microfiber towels. It is much lighter to move around the car and you can get around the edges of vehicle much smoother. Either way great job man, keep it up!
Thank you. You are one of the few people that have suggested this. I have done in it in the past, And I’m sure I will do it again. It’s a great message.
I like also the MF towel method, but i have problems on dirty cars MF are stained easy with dirt and dont wash off easy for my. But maintenance clients yes a good towel ( dark colored) folded you have 8 sides to use......great option
thats actually genius!!
Thank you. And thanks for watching
Another great video Danny
Yo, thanks so much. Appreciate it. Any ideas for a new video?
Prep steps for a polish detail
For the issue of the barrel brush flinging dirty water on you, I suggest the woolly wormit brush. I use and love it! Does the same job with no fling!
Thank you so much I will take a look at it
Yo, I am ordering it now.
EZ Detail Brush Tip. Twist on the way out and you won't get splashed on.
Thanks for the tip. Def gonna try it out.
Seriously? I’m going to try that tomorrow. Thanks
Bro not even using a pressure washer and still out there getting it. Y’all watching best take note n get out there where u at with what you got. Keep it up!!!
Hahaha for real. No excuses. Only thing holding us back is ourselves. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching Chris.
Last tip....IF can help you....
If you have close to you your vac, when you apply aerosol tire shine, you can have in the other hand very close the vaccum nozzle to suck the over spray at the second you apply it on the air ( i hope my English don't confuse you)
Also time saver is the aftermarket Ridgit vac nozzle ( i dont know if has this name on Amazon.... is the one witch has an LED light and a button to light it)
If you need any polishing tips in the future...hit me
Thank you again as always. I totally get it. And that’s crazy how there’s a nozzle with a light on it.
An effective pre wash helps a ton. I’ve always used 1 bucket and had no problem. I just squeeze the wash pad before dunking again. I don’t use more than 1 wash media.
Hey, we all have our methods that work for us.
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ couldn’t agree more.
use meguires endurance tire gel. ..a little tops a long way and no over spray apply thin layer them buff off tires. it last a while and doesn't sling. since you already protect the paint. only use a wax as you dry spray wax to top off protection no need to do a whole extra step. Technicians Choice ceramic detail spray great cheap dilutable product. spray on after rinse then towel dry car .. boom. vwhicle protected again and you saved time.
Great tips. I just put Maguires endurance tire gel on my wish list. And I have used the technicians choices pretty good I never thought of diluting it
3D products has a great pre soak concentrate, works great. If i am not going to use the machine on the paint i use leaf blower and dreadnaught towel
Cool!
I use about 15 smaller sized mitts
I do not blow my personal vehicle. I drive it around the block then dry. It helps get all the water out plus it takes off that bit of rust on the rotors and I can get my wheels super clean and not get all dusty on the first few stops. But for you since it's mobile detailing you NEED to air blow because if I was the customer, I do not want to see water lines after using my car once and spending money on a detail. Great job with your videos
Great! you are right, and thanks for sharing your process and reasonings.
Hay dude love the channel buddy. If you hate them brushes the wheel wollies help witj splash back
Thank you, I actually have the wheel woollies too. And I like them. I just feel like the easy brush is a little bit more aggressive. So I’m also trying to keep it simple too. You know how we go back-and-forth all the time
yeah i stopped doing 2 bucket method a long time ago. multiple wash pads in a bucket is fine.. can even blow out some of them and ring them out with pressure washer... then re dunk. invest in a detailing rolling chair to do wheels and bottom of car. it's a gane changer.
Thank you. The duplicate method it has been so ingrained in peoples brains that sometimes we forget to use common sense.
Great video
You make me want to get out there and start detailing! Haha
Ha ha ha. It’s satisfying work, but 100% manual labor. There’s no getting around that fact.
Another great video mang!
Yo-yo, thank you so much.
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ No worries my dude! I'm going to be uploading my first video soon on my wash process. Hopefully by the end of this week. I'm not a detailer nor do I claim to be one. Just would like to showcase my process and get some tips. Keep that grind going brotha, you have my support!
Make sure you send me the link.
There is a maxshine apron on the market, it is very thick high quality waterproof with useful pockets. I don't.know if you can afford it or you like it, but saved my clothes from ez detail brushes splashes dirt e.t.c specially when you have to go to next clients.
Just check it on line.
I have nothing to tell for the procedure i also use the multiple mitts method.
Another quick but very safe method i use for maintenance is the 1 mitt method.
I use one side of the mitt per panel and the rinse thoroughly with the hose to get rid the dirt, dunk in the bucket with soap and repeat.
For the blower ,if the car is already protected i use a big leaf blower ( not funcy expensive detailing blowers...(worx leaf blower is a beast) it dries the cars is seconds ....may save you some time keep up
Thank you again!
I use a leaf blower quickly to get the bulk of the water off then towel dry. Then go around with the mini blower like you have and small towel to finish it off.
That makes sense. And that way when you do the pre-blow with the leaf blower you’re drying towel doesn’t get soaked super quickly. Right?
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ exactly, the pre blow is very quick like literally a minute, just quickly knock off the bulk so that like you say, the drying towel doesn’t get super saturated. Your goal is not to dry completely with the pre blow, just makes the towel dry easier.
I like to wear glasses when doing tires, mainly to avoid getting a mix of super clean and brake dust sling back right into your eyes. It's one thing getting it on your shirt or skin, but really got take precautions with your eyes.
10-4 on that Brian. Thanks for the tip.
Hey Danny, have you tried Optimum No Rinse? Would highly recommend you give it a shot if you’re doing a 1 bucket anyways. Helps reduce water marks and very simple to use. I would recommend Yvan Lacroix for tips and tricks on it.
Thanks, I know of Ivan. And I do use ONR in combination with P&S Pearl in the same bucket right now. Can't live without ONR.
only use blower when applying a wax or coating not a maintenence wash. I Iditarod dry the vehicle with doors hood and trunk open. that's a great way to prevent drips after the drying. I also use a plasticshimmy wrapped around a microfiber to get in the side mirrors and creased . no issues saves me having to bust out the blower. but yeah if applying a coating. don't take chances and use it.
Thank you.
Been hearing good stuff about bilt hamber
Seems to be working. But my samples gone. And I haven’t decided to buy yet. But it is good stuff
In Europe we love Bilt hamber products, auto foam, surfex HD ,clay e.t.c but here are much much cheaper than USA ....still great although.
Danny have you ever thought about using a microfiber wash mop with a handle. To save your back/lower back area, we get older lol and the constant bending takes a toll... I started using it because of my lower back problems..... I finish faster because I could clean the roof, the hood from either side of the car without walking around and bending so much. just curious
I see you use the water from your clients homes. That’s really cool that they allow you to do so but I jst want to add something dor you to think about. If you continue to do this for a living, you should really invest in a water tank. Not only to make your job easier because of the no minerals. But you would be saving hundreds of gallons of water. A pressure washer uses 50 to 70% less water than a water hose. And in these crazy times with the water shortages and drought , it would really benefit you and the environment 🤙🏽
I hear you Victor. And you are right. Have you heard of “The Dopest Detailer” on RUclips? He’s got his small car outfitted pretty nice .
not sure how the water systems are connected in Cali, or how much runoff goes straight into the ocean since he's in SF (most detailing chemicals are toxic to aquatic life) BUT from my knowkedge NorCal / Bay area does not experience the same drought conditions as SoCal, and the cities generally have better water recycling facilities
Def a small electric pressure washer will be good. But get the water tank when you need it. There's ways around it. Keep grinding brother!
Take a shot every time you hear " hey Danny"😅
I use auto foam from bilt and hamber too. Be careful, its not ph neutral so i only use it for unprotected cars, or cars with clogged ceramic coating. The foam is not thick so i add ph neutral foam into the bottle too. I apply foam to soak - rinse and then apply again for contact wash.
Cool. Good to know. I actually think it’s probably one of the best pre-washers I’ve seen. The rivals super clean, 3-D bug, and chemicals like that.
@@dannys.auto.detailing_You should try surfex-hd from them too! It's a universal cleaner. Exterior:
Baked bugs
dirt, engine bay
Interior :
Really dirty plastic parts
Harder stains on fabric,(don't use it for the ceiling cleaning, it may remove the glue).
I would not use it on ceramic coated cars tho.
i absolutely lost it when you gave your description of Burning Man hahaha.
Oh man you have no idea what I really wanted to say. Lol
Most of the time I do maintenance I use a rinseless wash so there is no need for blowing
Makes sense Jesus, Thanks for watching!
That is one cool little tool (presoak) would you happen to have a link to that by any chance? Keep the hustle and grind going!
Thank you, yes, its an amazing tool! Here's the link on Amazon!
amzn.to/3Up7nSd
Give the incredibrush a try.
Thank you.
Is there a compelling reason to use the Gary Dean method on maintenance clients over using a Rinseless Wash? I suppose you could still use the Gary Dean method with a Rinseless Wash too but you know what I mean. Just curious.
To be honest, I am not confident with myself and using the restless wash method right now. I do it sometimes for my own car. But every time I do it on my own car I see that I put another small scratch. I’m just not that great at rotating or bending the towel so that the dirt doesn’t drag across the paint. I know it adds time on a maintenance customer. Maybe in the future of feel more confident about rinseless
Try using just a Microfiber Towel ! You can flip it 8 sides and Is Way lighter than a wash mitt I use this method for my own detailing business and it works good for me Try it out.
Thank you. I have done that before. And I would definitely do it again. Thank you.
Hey Danny, what's your mix in the IK for the BiltHamber AutoFoam? Love your videos man!
Honestly I didn't follow the back of the bottle. but I put about once ounce chemical and the rest water in the IK. And thanks for watching!
Hey doin a great job keep up the good work! Started my own company after I saw you and going really good but not as many clients as I would have liked do you have any tips too get more clients in more frequently?
Thanks so much. It’s a tough business but it’s rewarding. I think the most important thing to be is out there detailing somewhere. In the eye of the public. But also having a Google business profile and feeding it with pictures every day. Ask all your customers for reviews and if they don’t post ask you one more time. Only knows what works for me is Google business profile adding photos, and optimizing my website for SEO. But I’m dropping a video tomorrow on getting customers in the winter time. Maybe that will help you
Thank you!
So what is the spray wax you use to finish if you are using sonax then washing it off?
Currently I'm using Meguire's Synthetic Xpress Spray Wax
I like it
Great video man ! What spray wax are you using ?
It’s the one call Sonax spray and seal. Just spray it on the wet car and then spray it off and it leaves a really good quality coding with lots of hydrophobic properties. And then just drive the car as normal.
I definitely would’ve denied a burningman car as well lol. Where did you get the organizer for your bucket?
I know. I definitely do not want to do burning man rides. I got the bucket caddy on Amazon. Here’s the link if you want it.

Why don't you use a foam Canon?
Let's just say I'm taking a break from it, and I am still getting good results. But I'll be back. Just experimenting with efficiency and speed.
Turned down 2 burning man rvs this past week
For real. No need to break my back for that
I feel like she understood completely that you said No. It was probably a trainwreck.
Those burning man cars are definitely a train wreck.
Danny are you not using a pressure washer anymore?
PS the goods are in 🤓
No, not right now. I’m not using the pressure washer right now. I will probably go back to it eventually.
Great! Will you posted on your story and tag me?
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ absolutely I will!
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ how are you liking no pressure washer. I bet most cars don't even need it
You need a roller for that bucket save yourself from any pain
I wish it would work here in SF. But we have a lot of hills and uneven pavement here.
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ thats unfortunate
Is that tap water?
Yes it is. But keep in mind of detailing in mid 60° weather
@@dannys.auto.detailing_ Why not fill up with DI water? Ive seen many places have it 10 cents a gallon
In california
There are no places that offer DI water in San Francisco or nearby. Not on this side of the bridge. Unfortunately
One bucket whaaaaat jk jk jk
Haha!
Said it long ago that two bucket stuff is a gimmick and a huge waste of time .
Crazy right? Just working smarter now.
To much work i stay with my buckt one mitt
This vehicle looks to be ceramic coated from the water behavior. So I suggest giving the auto foam a try on other uncoated, dirtier cars
Thanks for the comment, It's not ceramic coated, I just keep it waxed up! lol.
