Excellent Chris……thank you…
bro thank you for the tips can u do a video about cleaning the interior of the car properly. thank you so much
what if i use a microfiber cloth on dry, slightly dusty motorcycle? will it be one of the mistakes in cleaning? thankyou
how often should you replace drying towels?
Some tips, not necessarily automotive related:
– Asphalt can be removed with acetone or wheel cleaner. On rubber, use wheel cleaner. On metal, use acetone. Do not use acetone on painted or coated surfaces or on plastics, ESPECIALLY ABS.
– UV protection spray or cream works great for coating plastic so they don’t get damaged from UV exposure.
– Hazy glass? Have a set of windows that get constantly get dirty from road dust? Use dish soap then apply glass wax. Windex is expensive, so use diluted dish soap. For road grime or dust with lots of oil on them, laundry detergent works great. Use HE detergent and one with less foaming.
– Mix cheap toothpaste with gel bleach to make a whitening scrub for the floor.
– Armor-All protection spray is only good for places you want smoothness. If you need grip, don’t use it on that spot. It even says on the bottle — Do not use on handles and knobs.
– In a serious pinch, Pam works like relatively high-temperature lubricant. Just make sure to degrease after you bought the proper product and apply it as soon as possible.
Holy crap dude! How many cars do you have!? It looks like you have like, 4 vehicles, plus the minivan you were talking about in the beginning!
You say that a sponge is not good for the paint. What ist with a extra car sponge ? It’s that the same thing ?
Took me forever to figure out what ‘wuta’ is…
take the tags off the microfiber rags they will just scratch the car and the paint
Chris sounds much older in the old videos than in the new ones haha
Great tips, much appreciated. One thing to note is opening your windows (electric) straight after you washed your car. It has happened in my family a few times that the motor for the electric windows stopped working because of this. You would know you can open your windows when you bring it down very slightly and bring it back up again and see that there is no residue or droplets. Saves you money and also helps keep your windows clean after you washed your car because wet surfaces “lock” dust onto that surface.
Dude…….you left the tags on the towels
So, Mr. Miyagi was wrong after all.
Mmmhhh
Chris, just leased a 2017 Pilot, all leather. What care should I use to clean and protect the seats and trim keeping it soft and supple? I’ve been warned not to use Armor All.
hi chris my name is ryan and i have a 02 trailblazer i have a question it unrelated to washing ur car im getting a radi installed in my trailblazer and i picked up a back up camera for it how would i install it
Great tips. Thanks Mr. Chris Fix
I use this high end wheel cleaner that smells like rotten eggs. I always say it smells like HowToBasic’s kitchen. Guess I should stop using it, huh.
Hey chris how do you keep your cars clean in the winter???
This might be more cumbersome, but maybe move your towel from vertical v. horizontal because vertical scratches might not catch the sunlight as easily?

Hi Chris, Lots of good information provided. I use microfiber for cleaning but a chamois for drying. I will keep a eye out for the microfiber dryer towel. My car is black so it is more difficult to keep clean and scratch free. My most memorable cleaning error was as a poor student driving my Renault R8 in winter conditions. To save money on windshield anti-freeze I used engine coolant anti- freeze. It was something like applying Vaseline to the windshield. Could not see a thing and it really took a while to get it off! As another subject that you partially addressed, seagull shit on a black car, I would be interested to know what wax product offers the most protection. Any thoughts

Cool.
Profesionally !!! Cheers !
Thanks Chris
Hello everyone, I have a black car that has slight scratches like in the video at 3:05. Does anyone know how to remove them? I have waxed the car but they don’t entirely leave, I am wondering if I should use a dish soap to de-wax the car. And then re-wax it. Does anyone know if that will help or have any other ideas. Thank you all!
But i thought soapy water was good for the paint
