As a professional detailer and company owner I approve this video ! I tell my clients if your going to use a self service car wash use this method if Im not around
@@Macer614 consistency is key always text and ask customers about your services and also come up with a basic package wash a full detail to give customers options I have three different packages but also offer custom add ons and also you don’t need the best equipment or truck out there just go and get it and start making it happen 💪🏽 same thing with chemicals find what works and stick with that you don’t all these chemicals to spend money on all that snake oil out in the market right now
@@brokenSnake no the bucket is not necessary and will get u kicked out or disliked all you do is bring a wool wash mitt with you and wet it using wand , wet vehicle down with rinse thoroughly, then put a pre soak soap option or using brush but let foam just land on vehicle and then use wet sponge to wash vehicle down and then rinse . No matter what imperfections for washing defects are inevitably however this helps out tremendously . This is way healthier wash for your vehicle then a tunnel wash or a touch less wash .
I was about to say “if you’re going to hand wash your car, why not just do it at home?” but then I realized this is probably the shit apartment people have to deal with.
Most self service car washes have a rule against bucket washing, another good way to avoid water spots is to use the spot free rinse setting on the rotary switch
For a better spot free rinse just spray car with superior products formula 4 you really inexpensive you will get perfect spot free and a little protection and gloss
Lol as a detailer, this is beautiful. i keep a bucket and mitt in the car at all times when I’m on the go. 5 bucks wash the paint, wheels, tires, in 6 minutes. More you do it the faster you’ll get, and less money you have to keep putting in the timer. Just don’t let the owners catch you😊😅
If you’re washing the wheels and body within 5 mins then you are not a real detailer. Perhaps an Express washer, but not a detailer. Just an FYI. Properly cleaning wheels takes at least 2-5 min each wheel. Key word: Detailer.
@@PeelerG20 Lol okay. I get what you’re saying.. but definitely if i was using my own pressure washer and water definitely I’d be more detailed with my car or a customer. But as started this is on the go. I keep my vehicle fairly clean so it isn’t much for me to wash. I stated I’m a detailer because, explains how simple and fast i can clean a vehicle top to bottom at a self service car wash. anyways if I’m at home I’d definitely take 2 hours to make sure i get everything cleaned. 😂
@@ramonsalazar6733 oh trust me a got a whole script to say when they do😂 i make sure they done Ik the days they go collect money. I’m cool with the homeless guy they have clean up and tell me when they come 😂😂😂
All the stress of being "caught" is gone at night......but yes, the more often you do it the faster you get + maintenance washing is easier than waiting then needing deep cleaning.
My nearby self service car washes are always busy and doing 2 buckets were very frowned upon when it's packed sadly. I usually would go at 5-6am when no one is there yet.
The reason why is because you’re not using the meter where they would make their money from because you’re using your bucket and sponge not their soap brush that you have to pay for to get soap to dispense, so long as you have the meter running while you bucket wash they won’t care all you tell them is that you paid for the time and they should leave you alone.
That’s bc these guys with the buckets are stealing $ if you really think about it. Plus, they be taking their sweet a** time like there isn’t 5 other cars waiting to get in the bay.
Why use a bucket for the soap in the first place just let it droop from the brush right on top of your car and wash it from there, then use one water bucket to rinse the mit
It's because bucket washing can take longer and if ppl want to wash there cars a car wash works time eqauls money a 20 or 30 min bucket wash can cost them cash flow if traffic flow is coming in
I wouldn't wash a car with a mitt unless necessary to scrub off spots. I prefer contactless wash from top to bottom spares gloss black paint and clear coat by preventing scratches. I only scrub if I'm doing a decon/clay bar/compound/polish/wax--a real thorough detailing/paint correction I might do only every 5 years to spare clear coat. Getting off a light layer of biweekly road dust usually doesn't need scrubbing. If the car wash has wheel cleaner, I prefer to use it over the expensive spray bottle stuff. That said, a lot of wheel cleaners can damage wheel and rim finishes and my wheel brush often can't fit between the rim spokes to get at brake dust. The wheels really have to be removed completely to get in there. So I just wash the wheels under high pressure. Instead of expensive per ounce spray waxes and cleaners, I save my money for a proper paste/liquid carnauba wax, which I sometimes do in the bay. Paste is better for large areas and I like liquid for smaller areas like grilles, bumpers, and ABC pillars where you don't want paste wax flung on the glass and plastics when using a DA polisher. Glass cleaners can be replaced by 70/30 IPA on glass. IPA can be diluted for a paint cleanser, but I'm not sure if this is necessary if one uses a cleaner wax and the wax has naturally decayed with time. Cleaner waxes require less prep time but contain harsh chemicals and often don't last as long as a pure carnauba paste wax. In short=more time, more steps is better, usually, but I like cleaner waxes and one step products for winter when it isn't comfortable being outside for a long time. I can also say a lot car of washes have hard water despite its supposedly being distilled. Some of it left a mineralized water mark on my hood when it dried but I thankfully got it off quickly enough that it didn't etch in. I don't like leaf blowers and air for drying because it leaves residue and takes too long. I dry the car by using a Swiffer mop with attached microfiber cloths or with the mop head inserted vertically like a hand into microfiber wash mitts. The microfiber fits into the Swiffer corner slots and the wash mitt's wrist elastic will hold the Swiffer mop head in so you can use it like a soft wooly brush or drying towel. I find drying towels and wash mitts, even those by The Rag Company, tend to leave lint when they are dragged across black cars. I'd rather use a lot of small, high thread count, tight weave microfiber cloths, frilly wash mitts, or even glass finishing cloths to get up water, smudges, and lint than dry with a big towel that leaves a fuzzy, streaky mess. Microfibers meant for eyeglasses and PC monitors usually do a great job for cleaning, drying, and most importantly, lint and smudge removal. The "Swiffer mitt" works for the car roof (I'm short) and low on the doors as well as hard to reach places like the interior back glass where it meets the body and where the front glass meets the dash. Reaching all parts of the car with the Swiffer mitt while standing really spares the knees, ankles, and back. Edit: if a car wash has good distilled water, I bring my own containers to fill so I can wash at home with pump sprayers. I don't see it as bad. I paid for the water.
Thanks man, barely got a car and went to the self wash for the first time just using the brush and high pressure wash. Noticed the dirt marks after the wash. Did this method and my car looks clean and no more dirt spots
I say put a strainer under the brush where the soap is coming from. That way it’ll reduce the amount of dirt and pebbles that’ll sneakily fall in from the bristles. And then of course use a grit guard in your bucket.
That’s the way I do it but it dose state on most places no bucket washing, mainly because your taking up more time. So I do get a lot of the side eye . But yeah that brush thing will never touch my car
I just damaged my rear window weather stripping at a Chevron touchless/high pressure drive thru car wash 😢. I'm so pissed because it's 1999 LeSabre and parts are not easy to find. The owners manual warned me not to use high pressure car washes. I didn't listen. From now on I use self serve washes only.
Here a quicker way use the water plus soup feature get the car all wet with soup let it sit for a few seconds. Rinse with spot free water. Then abby the wax feature. Don’t touch the car go drive it all the water should dry. The reason you don’t touch the car is because you applied the wax and you want it to stay on the cars paint. Wax is important to keeping the paint from fading.
So anyone that is wondering why car wash owners get mad I got the answer for you. So when the lot is taken by you and you’re not running the meter because you’re using a bucket and sponge, they’re not making money that from other people will pay because it costs money to use the soap brush. So I’m sure if you just tell the owner or worker that you still have time paid on your meter then they’ll understand you just gotta keep the meter running almost the whole time you’re in the spot
I bring my own covered bucket with soap and water which reduces wait time, plus all that dirt from other peoples cars dripping off that brush into the bucket..... amateur hour right there!!! Anyways, I go at night so nobody can complain. Also, I tend to spend more $$ than a regular customer because I have to start and stop the machine twice. I also use the presoak, high pressure soap, and high pressure rinse first before using my bucket and quality soap. So it's not just rinse, rinse for me. Again, all theese problems are avoided by washing your car at night.
If the car wash isn't busy I think it's still better for them to have you use some of there services (foam & rinse) instead of you going somewhere else and having an empty car wash... if the car wash is busy then that's a whole other story and then that view is completely understandable.
@@verycoolguy5947 I used it on my car once and bunch of scratches left, never again, but it gives way thicker soap than the pressure washing hose, so best to hang it over the car and let it saturate
Nah bro, thats the shit I do at home in my own driveway. I use the car wash like 2 times a week - and I need 3 minutes 45 seconds to clean my car. I start out with the spray soap - then hit up the rinse spray and go over it at least once - then I hit the back bumper again because the silt pools down there when the water drains and then I hit the front bumper to catch the rest of the bugs that have been soaking. Car looks amazing - but thats also because I deep clean it at home with a water hose or power washer (depending on the mood). I use this mystery soap my dad bought like 10 years ago and he gave it to me, Im almost out but I dont know what it is. Its blue in color - has these dark blue beads suspended in it and Im pretty sure it has wax in it too - works amazing - car turns heads but it does that anyway - sublime green challenger
Make sure if you’re using soap from the brush to power wash the head first to remove any dirt or rocks, then after that let the soap drop into your bucket
in Singapore we have to park side by side to a stranger and the machine is bias to one side and if either one uses the pressure washer then your already washed car will get wet again while you're drying it
It gives the car a wide body effect. You can either put spacers to make your wheels stick out or put bigger wheels. Then you just add big fenders over the wheel to complete the widebody look. I'm no pro so if I'm wrong someone could correct me
love the vid lol but a long time ago when i didn't own a house i use to take buckets and the worker of the car wash said i couldn't put water inside them. so take precautions as to which one you go to 😂😂.
Bring your own bucket of water with soap and utensils in it. The kids on the lowes buckets are just about water tight. Save them quarters. That’s the name of the game. Cheers
No, and this makes me sad. Fortunately I found car wash with no "security" or personel so nobody can kick me out. I go in the evening where the is small number of people so I don't piss off anybody. I don't have backyard, I live in a apartment so this is only solution.
This is what I do as well, and I still laugh at the idiots in the same car wash spending legit $16 to go through the automatic one that doesn't guarantee it's as clean as I get it. And i take as much time as i want because there usually isn't a line for the self service, only the automatic. I'll enjoy the savings and that satisfaction of a job well done 👍
Please, don't ever throw your wheel sponge/brush into the same bucket as the mitt for your paint or your microfiber drying towels. That's a micro scratch disaster waiting to happen. The rest of the video tips however, I agree 👍
@@michaelthompson2970 Sure it matters. You're not likely to get all the road grime and brake dust off the wheels with a basic wash like that. The point is, you don't want to potentially cross contaminate your sponges. If you can keep them separate by being a little mindful, why not? It'll make your seasonal detail and paint correction that much easier down the road. 👍
@@AskChristianYT He didn’t wash the wheels first, he washed the wheels last. The wheel sponge wasn’t contaminated until after he was done with the body. Right or wrong? That’s what’s confusing about about what you’re saying. What you’re saying makes sense of the dude washed his wheels before the car
@@AskChristianYT I would assume they would get washed. If youre saying thats not good enough then okay. Two different buckets is cool too. I cant agree or disagree because I dont have experience
When it comes to the automatic car washers with the big rolling brush, I learned from my old car, and now all the wax coat is gone. With the new car, it’s either take it to a hand wash or do it yourself😂
Right. I do the same. I just got my new SUV and definitely no shortcuts this time. I detail my own, even when I don’t feel like it. Paying someone over $100 when I can spend $ $3 to $5

The brush won't scratch your paint. It's the grit on your car that scratches it. High pressure soap first to remove the grit, and wash the brush.
You need a drying towel so you won’t make more swirls and also need a drying aid
Yo that bucket foam trick is a good idea. i have a mitt but wasn't sure how to get the foam on without the brush

And i take as much time as i want because there usually isn't a line for the self service, only the automatic. I'll enjoy the savings and that satisfaction of a job well done 👍
Dont say “the right way” u mad a lot of scratches
No he didnt
@@cosmin6902 he did
@@cosmin6902 even pros making scratchings dont be fucking stupid lol
@@cosmin6902 he uses 1 bucket kid
@@mofromupside2573 what does that have to do with anything. Just because he used one bucket doesn't mean he scratched the car
@ smpl builds I need your help right away were I get side flares to buy like on the car in video being wash
Can’t do this in London
There’s always people waiting to wash their cars
F them bro
@@tizochernandez1943 haha…
We should do a car meet! Got a Wrx Sti 👌
Genius
You think using the car soap there is okay for your car bc I feel like they are using cheap soap
Heaps of them don’t allow you to bring stucf
Getting banned from a car Wash for flaunting their rules is certainly on my bucket list… 😆😂🤣
Ion know how to use My self serve dry thing
All the car washes around me have a no bucket rule
I attempted this once many years ago and they shut the water off right before I went to rinse.
Wish my local car wash didn’t get mad when I do this lol
Go at night
Presoak first. Never rinse first.
Please, don't ever throw your wheel sponge/brush into the same bucket as the mitt for your paint or your microfiber drying towels. That's a micro scratch disaster waiting to happen. The rest of the video tips however, I agree 👍
does it even matter? He didnt touch the wheels with the wheel sponge until he finished washing the car
@@michaelthompson2970 Sure it matters. You're not likely to get all the road grime and brake dust off the wheels with a basic wash like that. The point is, you don't want to potentially cross contaminate your sponges. If you can keep them separate by being a little mindful, why not? It'll make your seasonal detail and paint correction that much easier down the road. 👍
@@AskChristianYT He didn’t wash the wheels first, he washed the wheels last. The wheel sponge wasn’t contaminated until after he was done with the body. Right or wrong? That’s what’s confusing about about what you’re saying. What you’re saying makes sense of the dude washed his wheels before the car
@@michaelthompson2970 So you're saying he's never going to use those sponges again? What about the next time?
@@AskChristianYT I would assume they would get washed. If youre saying thats not good enough then okay. Two different buckets is cool too. I cant agree or disagree because I dont have experience
I got escorted out when I did this.
What’s your wheel specs?
Idk if you sold it but this car was parked up with me at motorama last week
Sold it a few weeks ago 😭
All facts
Need 5 buckets. Soap and one for each side of vehicle
When it comes to the automatic car washers with the big rolling brush, I learned from my old car, and now all the wax coat is gone. With the new car, it’s either take it to a hand wash or do it yourself😂
Just add a new wax coat
Right. I do the same. I just got my new SUV and definitely no shortcuts this time. I detail my own, even when I don’t feel like it. Paying someone over $100 when I can spend $ $3 to $5
All the places by me have signs that say no bucket washing 😂
They usually don't mind if it's not busy. You can always ask.
Wrong the first biggest sign on the car wash is no bucket washing.
Bucket washing in car wash bays is not allowed.
Idk about that towel choice. But then again I drive a black Lexus
Honestly it’s better to just hit up a friend w a driveway and hose and buy him lunch/hangout
MF DOOM
I never wash my car. It has no scratches so far.
$19.95 a month & I use the drive thru sparkle with free vacuum and trash disposal. 🗑. 👏
rip your paint
@@ultraseb7839 - Not proper pre-rinsing kills paint. Also using the wrong shampoo and wrong techniques.
The Ford is a proper demo object.
You are not allowed to use bucket in the car wash
well that is in your country
in France you can't do that...
Sure if the carwash is empty, but I wouldn't take all that time if people were waiting
pro tip bring a battery powered leaf blower
Lol imagine how people would look at you and won’t understand what u are doing lol
