    Almost finished detailing my first car (I'm 16, bought the car for $1500, fixed the mechanical issues). It looks great. I think the value is around $4500 now! It's so worth it to have a clean car. It never ceases to amaze me how people can live with the cars that they bring to you. I know I'm going to be an absolute geek when it comes to cleaning my car (pun sorta intended I guess?). Your videos are really in-depth and fun to watch. Thanks for being you!

    I think this is the first time I see you wiping down the door jams. I had some "mobile detail" people come clean my truck and they did a horrible job. I pointed out how they left the door jams all dirty and they said that it was all the pressure washer could do. I rubbed my finger on the dirt and told them, "a little scrubbing would have done the job just fine". They didn't want to put in any elbow grease. They figured the pressure washer should do all the work.

    I love watching your content. I'm passionate about cleaning vehicles as well. I feel like I can never get them clean enough though as I'm worried about scratching and swirling the paint.
    What do you do to get the hard to remove dirt, bugs etc on the bottom panels, fenders, and stuff kicked up from the wheels?
    Also, after foaming, do you use the 2 bucket method for hand washing? Do you rinse out your brushes etc in a bucket? I'm not sure that you've ever shown that side of it.
    Lastly, what do you do to prevent scratches and swirls while hand washing?
    Thank you!! And keep up the great content

    I have a question for you, when people leave items like a drill that’s filthy in their car, do you clean it or put it in a plastic bag to go back in the car when your done? Also, does it ever annoy you when people leave mounds of personal items in cars before the detail?

  • @KnownAsChris

    I also put wheel and tire cleaner in a former. I'll try yours next. I like to dry my car with a leaf blower as well.
    The ceramic coating on Ruby is still looking good. I use your graphene sealant and that really lasts.
    I have to say 303 on exterior plastics doesn't like rain.
    Beautiful detail as always.

    I think it's pretty neat how your new tire dressing has a blue hue to it, indicating it is water based. As a vehicle painter waterborne basecoats do the EXACT same thing, then look normal once dry! I would like to see a few more Q&A videos Mitch! Keep up the amazing work!!

  • @paulski6145
    @paulski6145 Год назад +1

    Great as always!
    1) Why did the tire shine turn blue when you sprayed it on the Raptor tires?
    2) Do any of your detail cl8ents ever purchase any of your cleaning products after they have had their vehicle detailed?
    Thanks again!

  • @annettealvarado6973
    @annettealvarado6973 Год назад +4

    Another great video Mitch but I do have a detail question, what is the best way to get rid of window streaks from rolling your windows down? I've tried everything and cannot seem to remove them and living in an area with hard water, car washing isn't going to work. Do you have a regiment to remove hard water stains from windows? Thanks a bunch and keep posting videos, this is my Friday morning fix!

    • @silvergrizzly316
      @silvergrizzly316 Год назад +2

      Annette, if you are close to a Walmart go to the camping dept and look for the in-line water filters that hook up to your outside water spigot, screw it directly to the inlet side and screw the hose to the outlet side. You won't even need to dry your car off with towels, I've been using this method for years, especially when I had well water then when I got hooked up on city water, it was just as bad with water spots so I just kept on using the water filters, they work great!!! 🙂👍👍

    What do you normally charge price wise for detailing cars? Also does the price come down to the level of dirtiness of a car? I’d totally love this question to get answered in the next Q&A video Mr. Mitch aka Detail Geek 😄😅. Thanks 😊

  • @jessicaperlove4715
    @jessicaperlove4715 Год назад +1

    That was fun amd awesome! Question: do you not wax cars? I noticed you used a ceramic spray coating. Does that now replace, like, turtle wax? Asking because i torture myself over this. I tried the ceramic coating on my car recently and loved it. Wax is hard for me; I'm short and it's exhausting after spending an hour or two on the wash.

    Since you have almost all the chemicals you have designed on your own with your brand name. I'm so curious to know whether will you design Detail Geek interior or plastic protectant and degreaser. Hope you would answer my question one day. As always fantastic detailing of Ford Raptor. Still looks brand new 😃!!

    The new Raptors don't look bad. I personally think they look quite a bit like the previous ones
