Hello again Chuck, this is my third time viewer, just wanted letting you that I received my turbo cannon with soaps etc. I bought it from CHEMICAL Guys and so far I washed my C7 Laguna Blue twice and my "Smooth Criminal, a.k.a. Neck breaker" looks like new and I love all that foam. One can see the dirt come right off. Now, the only problem is I have to do my wife's suv, my C5, my neighbors Camaro etc..... I love all sports cars since I was a child, when I saw my first, I remember thinking. I am going to college get the best Corvette and the hottest girls. My wife loves your Black Vette also. I also do short films with both my passions Sports cars and free style dancing in front of famous landmarks and history film documents. Keep up your hard work. Sincerely, Nelson & Rita.

Thanks for the demo. I wash my 08 Jet Stream Blue convertible at home. I rinse it from top to bottom with fresh water (being cautious around mirrors). Fully soap it down with a Ortho Dial-and-Spray at least twice, rinsing well each time from top to bottom. My mitten technique is different. One final soapy spray, and the hose is in my left hand and mitt in my right. Starting on top, I rinse with my left hand while my mitt gently wipes front to back. This rinses grit that my mitt leaves behind. To remove fine grit stuck to the mitt, I dunk it twice in two 5-gallon buckets of fresh water 3-4 times during a wash. Fully rinse the car, clean the wheels/tires. I dry it using an extra soft, 10” double-squeegee made for car detailing, front to back (helps move pools of water and prevents swirls), pull in the garage with two big fans and finish with large microfiber towels, front to back. The top takes a couple hours. I’ve tried most auto detergents, too. After seeing how clear Dawn Ultra rinsed off my exterior home windows, I’ve used it over 6 months and it easily rinses clean from the soft top, too.

I always wash my own car and never pay. I enjoy washing my vehicles and making them look good!! I clay bar and wax every 6 months(spring and fall). That clay bar really lifts off the grime and will leave the car with a smooth finish and difference you can literally feel. between those times I simply wash the car and then hit it with maguires liquid ice detailer spray for the ultimate wet shine(micro fiber cloth/apply with blue rag and wipe of with green sections at a time). I'm definitely going to look into this foam spray, looks like awsome stuff. Right now I dry my cars with a squeegee and get the excess water with a micro fiber cloth(yellow for drying). I've been telling myself I'm going to get a blower for a dryer for years lol. This year I'm going to get one! Have a good weekend my friend, car looks great!

Hey Chuck! I've been washing my Corvette myself since I got it. My new Grand Sport needs washing now but being in northern NJ it's been tough. I did manage to wash it a couple of times since I bought it before Christmas on a couple of crazy warm days in Jan and feb. I think it gives me a chance to become one with my car-my wife thinks I'm obsessed. I'm just glad she didn't divorce me yet! Lol. Great video as usual. I use the Adams products primarily with the grit grid at the bottom of the bucket and detail spray just before drying to cut the spots and streaks. I also use the turbo stick wheel cleaner in my cordless drill. Gotta go do my brake flush and pad change for my first track event April 1.

First, nice car and well maintained. Personal, I was my cars myself, 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, 2015 BMW M4 and X3... To be honest the Hellcat is my wife's car and at 63 years old, she had to go back to her muscle car. Nice to see you using the foam cannon and double bucket wash, but have you thought about adding a grit guard to both your soap and rinse buckets? I found that it traps a lot of the dirt below and also with my rinse, off the top of my head I forget who makes it, but I got the grit guard with the side panel that let's you scrub your mitt to remove all the dirt. The other think I started lately is using about 8 mitts to clean the vehicles so there is no cross contamination. Great video, glad I found your channel. Enjoy your Corvette sir. WT Taggart

The lady at the service counter was going to charge me extra until I told her to ask her manager. She checked and sure enough she told me that they'll be no up charge. Without that information a dealer may just give you whatever kind of oil. Enjoy your new ride!

Since I've detailed cars for over 20 years I do it at home. I will tell you that the scratches that most people speak of are the spider webbing that shows up. Its inevitable that they will show up because the fact is your rubbing the car when washing. The trick is to minimize it. Start on the roof and work your way down on the car. Do sections at a time and like you are doing the two bucket method, one bucket to rinse the sponge/towel/cloth and the other to soap it. Also be very careful when using any kind of forced air to dry your car. The problem is that the blower kicks up dirt and dust from the ground and as you dry you scratch the paint. Here is a trick of the trade to minimizing water for drying. Take any adapter off of your hose and turn the water on where there is a stream (not to strong) coming out (this will minimize splash) of the hose and rinse from the top down. You will find that most of the water will simply sheet off of your car.
@Corvettes918

diamondrmp That's allot of cars over 20 years. Some guys just have a passion and that's awesome. Like you said it's going to happen you just have to try and limit the amount of scratching. Would you say white shows the least amount of scratches? My next corvette will be a color other than black and want something a little more easier to maintain. I have learned black isn't a color it's a second job.

Yessir I've done a LOT of cars over the past years and my back and hips are now paying the price. LOL White and I call it a generic name, "gunmetal gray" or dark gray, are the two best for not showing dirt. Chevy calls the color, "Watkins Glen Gray Metallic". The gray however will show major scratches easier than white.

As always thanks for holding down my NM contingent. Yea, was the first time I ever used the windshield wipers on that car. Had to locate where they were when it started raining. 😂😂. They drive great in rain as you know by driving that white stingray. I may have to start a new channel about yard work. 😁 See you next week buddy.

First off, love your Z06. It's my dream car! I'm almost there lol. I have a 2016 Z71 and love it. I really enjoy washing and cleaning my truck. I took my prior truck to get cleaned because I traveled often for work but a buddy of mine was telling me about the foam sprayer. I'm going to give it a shot and see how I like it. I'd wash it every other week if I could but 8 months of winter in Fairbanks, AK puts a damper on that. Thanks for the tips!! Enjoy that Z06!!!

Thanks Mr. Kirby for stopping by the channel. The Z06 is everything you can imagine and more. I can't explain driving in something that rides like your in a Cadillac but handles like a race car. You're going to love it when you finally get it and the wait will have been worth it. Love the Z71 Trucks. I am sure being from your neck of the woods it comes in handy. The foam cannon does help for sure. Again, thanks for stopping by the channel and we will see you every Saturday at 9:00 with another video. Have a Blessed week.

Your defiantly fine with a touchless car wash. That was the first time in the rain for me and its been a year I have had the car. The car handled like a champ in weather mode and the tires really impressed me. Next time won't even think twice about driving it in the rain. Now thunderstorms and possible hail forget it she is staying home. 😂😂. Thanks for watching and I appreciate you leaving a comment. See you next Saturday.

I recommend first wetting the vehicle with normal pressure water, because when you blast it with the pressure washer right out the gate you are hammering the dirt into and across the paint. It will scratch it. Step one wet car with low pressure water, step 2 foam cannon.

JOHNNY THOMPSON very good point if the car is extremely dirty. Having the ceramic coating on the wheels helps with what little might get on them when it comes to the Z06. Normally I spray most of the first dirt and debris off before the foam cannon. Having the ceramic pro 9H defiantly helps in the washing process. Great comment and I appreciate the feed back. Have a great rest of the week.

I enjoy washing my own car because I know what I'm doing to my car unlike someone washing my car and who knows if they are doing a two bucket method, using two separate wash mitt/pad for the paint and wheel. One time I was at work and I saw a mobile car wash washing the guys that work next door car and he use the same dirty rag for the wheels and paint. My brain exploded. And he saw me washing my car with the two bucket method with a rinse less wash and came to me asking what I'm doing. Well I'm saving my paint! Lol.

👍 My first car was a 71 Chevy Nova SS, now in my mid 40s, one day I'll treat myself a nice retirement toy. You're right on about American made, my grandfathers moved out of the coal mines in the South after WWII to move to Michigan and retire from GM /Chrysler. Now this NAFTA and bs moving jobs to Mexico and all has just killed the middle class workers. I've told my son whatever it is he wants to do, just find something besides the auto manufacturing plants.. Oh I forgot to ask ya, I need to borrow your car bud, I'll bring it back after using it for a couple of weeks renting a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. I'll fill the tank back up. Thanks

Hey Chuck, right now, I'm about 50-50 wash my self, take it to the car wash, really depends on time. However, if I want to super clean/ detail it, it's all me and the foam cannon. Really impressed how well the Mavic Pro position locks. You have it just in a hover or in follow me mode? I'm going to have to try that with my 3DR Solo :) Great job as usual, see you next weekend!

Thanks Mark for the comment. The foam cannon seems to be alive and well with vette owners. 😂 The Mavic Pro is an amazing drone for how small it is. Next weeks video I am going to show it off a little big during the vette vlog. For this video I just put it up and it stays right where you leave it. If it gets low on battery it will return to the same point it took off from and lands. So you never have to worry about it crashing. 👍. Thanks for watching as always and we will see you Next Saturday.
