How to Wash Your Car Before Polishing - The Detailing Basics - Step 1: Decontamination

Matt needs write a book with the title “Car Detailing for Dummies” in the description say, “We get you 95.5% of the way there, we assume you’re not stupid” lol

Love when you go back to basics. Reminds me of the old 2017 days.

Matt: "This soap isn't cleaning squat." Bilt Hamber Autofoam: "Hold my beer"

23:14 I always like when matt impersonate "These people foaming their car" lmao

Man I love watching these videos, makes me feel so much better when I call my weekend washes my “craft” because it really is. No 2 retailers do the same exact thing

Be awesome to spend a day with Matt and the crew doing this. You should have some sort of giveaway for that.

Always love watching this process and it works great nice job OG 👍

Good process as always. If you live somewhere your car might get quite dirty (I live in Norway) I'd recommend these steps: 1. Koch Chemie Teerwasche (let it sit for a few minutes). Only use below windows, and all the way up on the back. 2. Koch Chemie Green Star 1:10 or Bilt-Hamber Surfex HD 1:10 dilution. (Let it sit for a few minutes. This is on top of the Teerwasche). 3. Foam it down with Koch Chemie Vorreiniger B (Stronger than your normal foam.) Again, let this sit for a few minutes. And do not use any of these products in the sun. (Why are we putting layer on layer of product? To let them have a good and long hang time, so they can do their magic.) 4. Rinse. 5. Iron Remover - Let it sit for a few minutes then rinse. 6. Wash the car 7. Clay 8. Dry

Thanks so much for the knowledge Matt 🙏🏼

tar removing should be included in the decon process. good series 😊

Very interesting to see how different detailers work and see what they believe works, or doesn't, is worth the effort, or not... You give me the impression that much of this wash stage is almost for show - yet others think it's super important. I enjoy watching the variety. It's is also overwhelming! This will be a fun series.

can't wait for step 2 thank you from Australia

Good wrap up of a lot of info for the process. Thx!!

Like the wheel cleaning method!

35 minutes? This guy got away easy!

I seriously watch these episodes for the dry sarcasm and the derogatory type comments and explanations. Makes me feel like my dads explaining shit to me like when I was a kid again 😂

Great tips.

Awesome video!!!!!

--------- a new drinking game ------ every time Matt says "process" 😜

For anyone who has turned on hose pressure before removing the peepee dribble plug, just stick a large enough socket over the end of the plug (on the floor), and smack it with a mallet. Should pop right off. Not sure about full pressure washer pressure, but it did work with just the garden hose pressure, which I still couldn’t get it off by hand.
