A little update for you guys. In July we I raced in the 24hrs of Lemons endurance race and had to quarantine for 2 weeks after. In the meantime, since I couldn't film, I was working on editing videos and planning out content. I have a dent removal video coming out next and then the endurance race video coming out right after. I am still alive, just life is getting in the way of getting stuff done sometimes. Hopefully you can understand and hopefully you enjoyed this video which has been requested since the engine super clean video!

“Hey guys quandale dingle here”
Hope you’ve been good ChrisFix, been enjoying your content for years now. Thank you for the detailed video. Take care!
Am Excited
Your health comes first Chris! We're a fanbase and we'll always be here for you!
I look forward to the new content, Chris!! Thank you!
"Hey guys!" That never gets old lol.
"Hey guys! Chrisfix here" ah never get old
True
I know
And it gets louder every time
Yaay it never gets old lol
I am a professional detailer, and this guy is how I got my start. His super clean videos were the catalyst that has launched me forward to doing over 150 cars since I started. Great content
Do you like Ammo NYC also? I think he goes a bit over the top in his process but
I detailed 151
do you take off all the wheels when cleaning clients cars?
That's all preference my love. @@HazaEgg
How can this man get me to watch all of his videos without skipping forward once. That's a Gift!
I know right!
I agree, the hand...the hand!😂
It's amazing how I just spend 30 minutes watching someone perform something that many people think is super simple, but actually there's a lot more to it.
The attention to detail here is amazing, and it was all presented in a very easy to understand manner which I think many people can appreciate. Another great piece Chris!
Thanks a lot!
'detail'
Too bad, my tires are still dirty after watching the video ^.^
I know what you're saying.
I often get compliments on how good my seven year old car looks..... and then they ask me if I can to the same for their car.
My answer is..... Sure, but you can't afford what I would have to charge you for doing it.
The smile on their face goes away quickly.
dude this whole video was one wheel. 🤯
For years have i been around this channel and Chris’s dedication and love to help is the main reason he’s big. The same energy is still there even though it can be tiresome. Still glad he’s helping others by showing us things we would’ve looked over
Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it!
@@chrisfix i've beenwatching these videos since the start of the driftstang. Ahh those were the days. I hope you continue that series or start like a part 2 or something.
That would be *awesome* ☺️
“Tiresome” I see what you did there
@@chrisfix can you do upload video about how to assembly engine ?
You couldn’t possibly make these videos any better. Chris has taken over the detailing scene on CZcams. Thanks man you’ve helped me soooo many times
Chris, You sir are Bill Nye the Science Guy of Car Care!! 😁🙌💫
If I cleaned my wheels that nice, I’d never want to hit the brakes again! Great tips!
7 million microfiber towels later
😂
Ive been a professional detailer for about 6 years and just to add a quick tip--- Home Depot sells these huge foam cushions for like $6 that you can use to put the wheel on when laying it flat on your driveway. Otherwise rocks and such can scratch the surface of the rim, depending on the design. In a pinch, you can still cut up a cardboard box and lay it flat!
Chris you are the man!
Great suggestion!
Thanks for the tip! I used wood blocks on the tire but I like the foam idea! Thanks a lot!
I use an old rubber gym mat that is 1" thick and 4'x4' that way all the cleaner and water won't hurt it and when done with it I roll it up and bungee it together. An added bonus is it works great to kneel on or lay on while working on my car, old guy here my knees are shot. So I tend nowadays to sound like a little girl when I kneel in gravel, oh ouch, wooo then the cussing start" you son of a mother donkey" LMAO
A pool noodle works too. Cut them into 2-4, slice them to get 2 half cylinders and👍
Wouldn’t all the runoff mess up the foam real quick?
Best mechanic on the platform hands down, been supporting for a while and he never disappoints.
LOL
Thanks a lot Jeremy!
@Don't read profile photo Ok. I won't.
When will I be able to meet you
simp
You've really helped me come out of my comfort zone and clean my car properly! You deserve all the credit.
Awesome!
As someone who is passionate about clean wheels, this is the video I've always wanted
Chris' dedication to attention to detail is simply amazing.
How does this work
You can say that again!
It’s crazy to see how far Chris has come, I remember when he was under a million subs and now he’s almost at 10 mil. He’s stayed the same only with better quality videos, production and ideas. Thank you Chris for everything you’ve taught us.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Chrisfixit.
I’m surprised the fem nazis haven’t attacked him for his trademark “hey guys” opening. I’m assuming it’s only a matter of time. I hate this world we live in now.
I love your super clean channel so much! I can’t wait to start doing this for my side hustle. There’s no better feeling than finishing a car and making it look brand new! I’ve been practicing and following each of your steps in the super clean series and it’s by far my favorite! Thanks a bunch!
I used your car cleaning tips today and my car has never looked better AND it was cheaper/easier than taking it to a shop! Thanks Chris!
these just get more and more detailed, he definitely cares for newbies like me lol thanks chris !
Any time!
Atreyu
I totally agree with you. In my opinion the videos are tailored to beginners who are new to cars or just not sure where to begin which is common because the fear is common. The videos take all that out of it.
Litteraly detailed
@@chrisfix instead of a heat gun, could a steamer work
2 years of build up - man, each like should count as 10. You've put in a lot of time and work into these vids, and they're honestly, hands down, the very best tutorials for maintaining/fixing/caring for our vehicles - no more matter how humble or top end they are! Thank you Chris!
Thanks a lot!
I absolutely agree! Chris is the BEST car DIY CZcamsr there is!
@MrCOLTSR2 Have you ever produced video content, taken the time to painstakingly go through raw video footage, get good shots, say what you mean and want to say clearly, and put together a presentation that gets to the point, shows what you need to know, without an audience getting bored, and doing a spot on job at all of that? I used to be a little salty at YTers making shit tons of money for making dumb videos, but 1 - this isn't a dumb video, Chris makes videos that actually help regular people keep their things nice, and 2 - having done video work myself, I know some of these guys work a ton to get good content out, and 3 - if these vids entertain us, why shouldn't they be paid? Actors/Actresses do... it's just entertainment for them acting some silly scene in front of a screen.
@MrCOLTSR2 unlike you who probably does nothing with his life
@MrCOLTSR2 his showing us what to use and how to PROPERLY clean a wheel, how come his showing basic stuff, his videos are actually helpful, so if his teaching basic stuff teach us something not basic
Man, I've been around Chris for over 5 years! Still, he can't be more enthusiastic with every video he makes. Attention to detail like that really does spark a difference, and I usually just "out with the old and in with the new" but Chris just "in with the old and in with the new!" Love you Chris!
Extremely impressed at the effort.. your content is very well put together and actually helpful, informative and comprehensive. Probably the first channel I’ve experienced that’s this efficient! Great Work 👍🏾
I am absolutely blown away, Chris really just painted brake calipers and suspension with the snap of a finger. Hands down, these are some of the best put together videos on CZcams. I can't imagine how much effort and time went into making this video alone. These aren't just tutorials, they are art.
"Snapping fingers may not make food appear" haha
Thanks a lot! I wish I could teach you guys the snap trick but it takes years and years of experience ;P
Chrisfix your the absolute best
Dude.... I'm pretty handy and I watch all the DIY videos that I need based on those needs...But I'll tell you this brother..NO ONE has EVER put so much much time and energy into showing and describing every detail that can come up! This is by far the best DIY video I have ever watched! Thank you so much sir!!
btw, it TOTALLY worked and my uncleaned 3 y/o rims are now SPARKLING and spotless!
Very impressive. I've been detailing cars for about 5 years. I watch a ton of CZcams vids for tips, product reviews, etc. I have to say, I'm really impressed. These aren't high-end detailing products. I think most of them can be found at your local Auto Zone.
Very thorough, effective, professional techniques and results. Bravo! You have a new subscriber.
Chris pours his heart and soul in every video he makes. Amazing work.
Yeah i love this guy.
Sheesh
It shows. 9mill subscribers for now. 👍
Great enthusiasm ! Love this guy. He doesn’t try to sell you products, unlike some detailers that are “sponsored” by certain companies. Chris is the real deal.
I love the small things like “I specifically didn’t clean this wheel for two years for this video” it’s those things and effort that I appreciate about these videos a lot
I “specifically didn’t clean my wheels for two years” as well … just not for a video.
Seriously, I never thought about cleaning the inside surface. That is extra work but would pay dividends per brake dust adhesion.
Bro the fact that more effort went into getting the back side of the wheel clean shows this guys passion for this stuff😂❤
No one can criticize success! That was an amazing transformation on both sides! And I sat here the whole time and never got dirty, wet, or tired!
This is P E R F E C T timing! I was literally at Autozone two days ago buying stuff to attempt to detail my cars for the first time and going off of your super clean interior videos. I’ve watched how to super clean the outside and kept searching your playlists for “how to super clean your tires” because I figured “Chris must have a video for this I bet I’m just not looking hard enough”. I gave up and then now I see a notification for this from 4 hours ago! I may not be able to actually tackle my tires do to some mobility issues but I’m excited to be able to watch this and find out tips and tricks and at the very least know what NOT to do and educate myself. I hope you feel better, thanks for always uploading great videos. It’s helped me learn a lot
Awesome let me know how it goes and tag me in before/after pics!
Pro Gamer move for you. If you don't have a pressure washer Just go to your local car wash and see If they have (idk what it's called but it's like a booth where you can borrow a fixed pressure washer)
Works great Just watch out not to Go too hard as they are usually preety strong.
Good luck in your endeavors. It's involved work but well worth it. Just a tip for the interior. If you intend to remove the seats get a memory saver for your vehicle settings and use it before disconnecting the battery. Have fun! I just washed my car using the Chris Fix method yesterday yet the sun set before I was able to clay bar and wax it so I may have to do it again the next few days to finish the job properly unless the gods are kind and no birds have crapped on my car by the time I use it tomorrow. 🤞
I should've known that the man who removed the seats to super clean the interior would also remove the wheels _and_ clean their insides as well. Once you attempt any of Chris's videos you realize that while he does make it look easy, it's a lot of work compared to what you might have done otherwise yet it's very accessible. That being said, what he teaches instills both competence and confidence which is rare nowadays.
We forget that he condenses _years_ of his knowledge and practice and shares some of the lessons he's learned for free and that's truly altruistic. We don't see the off-camera, back breaking, dirty work (look at the legs of those trousers) you do from which you keep producing content. Thanks for all you do!
One whole wheel took me about 2 and 1/2 hours but it was the first time I've done it so it was tire some but look really nice
@@kimjongoof5497 Nicely done? Plus you get a rimshot.
@@kimjongoof5497 Oh I bet it was TIREsome!!!!!
… 🍃 I’ll leave now
yeah, i saw that video, I then removed the seats from my two cars when i cleaned them out, sadly the bloody airbag sensor has never been the same
@@fraudieYT can I ask what exactly is wrong with the airbag sensor?
Man I always love your videos and told as many people as I can about you, why, reason is simple cuz you are amazing but most important you saved my f150 from going to Yunk yard since a few mechanics including the mechanics dealer couldn’t fix it, you give me a tip that not only fixed my truck but a few Moore that I had help people to fix. Thank you men.
Hands down, this was one of the best car Tutorials i have ever seen. Shout out to you, Chris.
Great work Chris! I really liked the part when you cleaned the wheel
🤣
I really liked that video where you restored the Fiero. 😏
@Ronald Finger Just watched the fiero time lapse. Car looks awesome! How many hours do you think you put into the restoartion?
Thank you! Lol
What a coincidence: I'm just about to take my wheels off in order to give them a thorough cleanout. Thanks a lot Chris! 👍👍
Perfect timing!
Just don't forget to torque them back on correctly, double check all 4 after you're completely done. Speaking from experience, having your car shit a tire at 40 mph is the polar opposite of fun.
@@Xehemoth 100% true. However, I've purchased a torque wrench about a year ago in order to avoid similar situations
@@chrisfix true indeed 😄 believe or not but I was browsing CZcams last night, searching for a in depth, wheels related super clean video and was wondering "snap, why does Chris have all these super clean videos but none of them are dedicated to wheels". So basically, I got what I wanted without even asking for it 😂. A new set o tires should arrive by Friday so I'll have the entire weekend to get the job done. Thank you once again bro!
@@Xehemoth Very true!
I also watched a vid years back explaining ride quality. I was very surprised to find out that under or over torquing, i.e. using the old rattle gun, actually throws off the balancing. It was rather interesting .
Of all the different wheel cleaning videos I’ve seen on CZcams yours is by far the best. My rims look just as bad as your demonstration rims did and I am going to try to restore them exactly the way you did
Truly amazing. Yes, requires some elbow grease, but having the right tools absolutely makes all the difference. Thanks so much, just an inspiring video!
Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for all of your detailing videos you’ve done. Your videos gave me the confidence to start my own mobile detailing business, and I’m now to the point where I’ve got my own shop and a wonderful set of repeat customers. I owe you the world man, thank you.
That is awesome!
That's great!
All these years later and still killing the game Chris! I'm gunna try exactly these tactics in a video of my own to try and get some harsh stains off my Mustang's wheels here soon. Hope to have results like yours, thanks for always giving us the best diy car care tips!
Awesome man! let m e know how it goes!
@@chrisfix Wellp! I tried it. Unfortunately it didn't get the extremely tough 'stains' off in my specific case. I don't even know if it's stains or a more serious issue that my wheel has haha. Despite my own results, I feel confident that at least 90% of people who do this will see the results they desire! Thanks again.
Your attention to detail is what makes all the difference @chrisfix! Very informative as always
I love you Chris! Keep up the good work I love your videos and you are my 1st source of knowledge about car maintenance and upkeep!!
I have a suggestion for a video if you haven't done it already, could you show us how to replace lower or upper control arms, or CV axle joints? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am Only 15 years old, and me and my best buddy just started a car detailing company. And this and your other super clean videos are so helpful for us, thank you Chris!
That is what I like to see! Thanks a lot!
Make sure you pay your taxes kid
@@Mcbebblestin lmao
@@Mcbebblestin good advice. Uncle Sam wants his cut.
@@Mcbebblestin of course. I live in Norway, and I can make up to $6k a year with a «free card» if my company is signed legal. So far we have made $7k each in 7 months and we have to pay tax….so dont worry, we have everything under control.
man this is one of the BEST videos I've ever seen ,it got me glued to the screen the entire 30min ,which for me is ubelievable, really you are very good on what you do, congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Chris, Again, you have knocked it out of the park with this one. I miss the days when you would upload weekly, but the writing, filming, editing, and explaining are off the charts as always.
I don't know crap about cars. I've never had anyone to teach me how to care for cars, and watching videos just leads to more confusion and uncertainty; however, your videos have given me the confidence to start taking better care of my vehicle. You've earned one more subscriber today, thank you.
I love the enthusiasm in his voice. Keep it up man👍🏽 huge fan and I admire your work
I really appreciate someone who is OCD. Just tried to clean the inner barrel on my Ranger / Mazda. It's much better but nothing as nice as what happened here.
Are there still stains or tough spots?
Yeah I think there is some tar spots. It's 19 years old but I've cleaned it a few times because it just looks so much better and I swear it rides better.....anyway I digress. I used an electric pressure washer on the barrel. The spots behind the spokes are the troublesome spots probably due to not being able to scrub brush those spots.
Pro tip: I find that fresh painters tape wrapped around a regular socket works better than wheel sockets. I've been using this method for years and I've never had a problem, even on high gloss wheels. I've left new scratches on my wheels with every pair of wheel sockets I've used, no matter how careful I am. Best of all, painters tape is dirt cheap!
Great tip!
Been like that since forever in our garage 😂
Just put 2 or 3 layers at most of it and ure good to go
Thanks for the tip! Was just about to add those sockets to my buy list, now I won't because I have alot of painters tape lol
as a professional detailer of 11 years, this is a GREAT video for weekend warriors/beginners, the only comment i'd say is please be careful with PLASTIDIP and MATTE wheels, you have to use a special wheel cleaner for those otherwise you can damage the finish of the wheel. also, to remove tar, just use a clay bar, simple and fast. use soapy water and rub the clay bar back and forth and you're good to go, once the clay bar is looking contaminated, just knead it to reveal a new area. also while compounding, make sure to follow up with polish. a ceramic spray/restorer only lasts 1 month with proper care.
Also want to suggest being super careful with your wheels if you turn them face down, you really down want to ruin your wheels on rocky concrete or paved driveway. Make sure the wheels cannot fall flat on their face, or they could be ruined.
@@alanmccormick6911 agreed
Editing, explanation, transition, flow of video is perfect. 10/10, it's Chris, always been perfect. Well done sir.
Thank you!
Your blue one gloved-hand sign language is great. Outstanding vid, thank you.
The finest maintenance video ever! Thorough (start to finish)...Like "health has no price," so too with wheels! I'd pay $50-75/ wheel to have this done... ( a time & physical inability issue). BRAVO
Thanks!
This video calms me down, giving a feeling of hope, that there is time in life for things like that. Just imagining taking it slow, whole day of just cleaning is already meditating for me. Thanks Chris
Why am I not surprised someone as detailed as this as made detail video which is incredibly detailed. Amazing work.
I love every video I've watched so far. I wish you could give my beloved Subaru WRX wagon a makeover. It has been great to drive for 23 years, but it can use a makeover. I don't have the tools you have, but I've learned a lot, so I'll apply the tricks I've learned from you. Thanks so much for all the wonderful and helpful videos.
Thanks for another banger, Chris! Always learn something new every time!
Thanks a lot man!

Love the fact that you do explain that you’ve been doing road/time testing over days/weeks/month and even years to show it can be done no matter what stage your at
Man the amount of work this guy puts into he’s videos is amazing!
I do my best!

I just started going to driving lessons and I've been dreaming about driving around with my uncle's jeep, and since he has passed away its just been sitting in the driveway for almost 4 years now, and this channel is really a motivation boost to pass my driving lessons and get my uncle's jeep fixed up and thank you soooo so much for accidentally showing up on my yt page I really enjoy these videos!!!
You can do it 👊 let us know when you pass it
When we touch "perfection" for all you're showing Chris 👍 Thanks man
I've always been into restoring cars to their former glory. And sometimes with a sub 10 year car, all it takes is a little elbow grease to remove the schmoo, but also to really get into the fibres of the paint. Luckily for this video, it shows the wheels and everything near is often overlooked and every inch counts. I can absolutely imagine doing a full days clean on one car.
Great work Chris. Been here from the start and thoroughly enjoying your content
As someone who used to detail cars for a living, I appreciate this. You also do way better than I ever have and I will use these tips on my new car to hopefully prevent it from ever getting bad lol
Thanks Chris! I gotta say, I'm hooked on your videos. I grew up in South Jersey and listening to your voice gets me nostalgic like I want to visit home!
Fun fact: Chris uploads a video that always helps us
Even though im a kid i watch your cleaning videos to superclean my dad’s car lol. Your videos helped me so much and thank you so much Chris for starting your channel with supercars! I love your videos Chris and never give up!
You did a detailed wheel cleaning years ago. I was impressed back then with your ability to instruct. Your even better now.
Amazing job! Are you a neat freak? The attention to detail is absolutely SUPERB! I love your videos. Keep em coming
Only thing missing on the video is that at 11:40 you need to be careful when flipping your wheels face-down. First time I took the wheels for a deep clean, I actually damaged the face of the wheel due to it resting against the floor... :(
My tip for this is to use an old rubber floor mat.
I'd also loosen the nuts whilst wheel is on the ground, and tighten on the ground, fundamentals.
running wider tires or even the correct tires helps protect your wheels
@@wileymonair not when the wheel face is convex....
@@rhobson I've worked on many vehicles and aside from dually trucks, I have not come across any wheels that touch the ground yet. Having a face that sticks out past the rubber is bad design.
@@wileymonair well, tell that to FIAT, since I have OEM wheels with OEM tires and they do touch, unfortunately... :(
Fantastic video. Very well explained, very methodical. I've been cleaning the rims on my car for over 40 years and use, essentially, your method. Cleaning the barrel of the wheel is essential if you want that "looks like new" look. Great job!
Thanks a lot Jeff!
@@chrisfix hope you can list all the materials you used bro, thank you
@@marieldamagon1754 He always lists them in the description box, under the video title.
Just got done watching your permanent headlight restoration video again from years ago and I must say, your videos have changed since then, but you've kept true to your roots.
You still work out in the driveway, don't have lifts or anything, and still emphasize how to do things with tools/supplies etc, that most diyers have but also give out advice for those that potentially have more specialty stuff.
Just want to say, as a long time subscriber and viewer of your channel, thanks for staying true to your ChrisFix way. 👍
Hey 👋 just wanted to say that I live in Ohio and I’ve tried so hard all my life to keep the family vehicles as clean and shiny as i possibly could with all these new products over the last few years it’s hard to understand sometimes as to what to use and a huge thanks cris you have shown me a few things that I can use to help my personal detailing shining much appreciated
I am so tired and sore. Followed your engine clean video and then the tire clean video on my 2014 Corvette. Oh My God. My arms and back are killing me, but at 72 at long as I can get in and out I keeping it. The brush on the wheels with wheel cleaner was gold. The spray wax on the fender wells was great, the leaf blower to get the wet off worked like a charm and micro fiber towels for dry cleaning was magic. It took two and 1/2 hours but the car looks nearly brand new. I had to skip some parts especially the detailing. Just too worn out. But I am a believer Young Chris Fix and a new subscriber. Thank you so much Dennis in Virginia
It took two and 1/2 hours for tire cleaning or engine Or both ?
One great tip to keep your wheels from getting that dirty, is to change the compound of the brake pads. High quality ceramic pads will produce a whole lot less dust than cheap metallic pads. It's one of the best investiments you can make, and they perform much better, increasing the braking performance and your overall security.
Ceramic pads produce less dust and last longer, but I believe the old non-ceramic pads actually perform better from what I've read.
Semi metallic outperform ceramics by a mile. For a daily driver yes they will work but not for a performance car. Also ceramics will make your brake system work harder since they wont retain as much heat as semi metallics
What Neil and Dub said is 100%
@@dub88acc that is accurate for racing cars: more aggressive compounds will brake better, but for daily drivers, the benefit of not having your calipers and wheels all covered with a thick dirty layer far surpasses that benefit. I noticed an overall increase in braking performance after changing my pads from oem to akebono ceramics, and after about 3 years, my wheels and calipers only need the regular weekly wash to stay clean.
7 months later after watching hour Video Today i cleaned my Vitz Wheels and it made soo Much Difference Before Nad After... Ididnt had products like you uses but a simple Clothes cleaning Powder make a huge difference.. Thank Cris
You went above and beyond with this. Came out amazing! Makes me want to tackle my wheels!
I think Chris must suffer from some sort of compulsive obsession, but damn, it's probably the only way to be so focused on so many details. The editing and teaching techniques are really at another level. From Chile, huge respects and thanks for these tremendous tutorials!!!!
L + Ratio + Bozo + faker
Man I thought I was OCD with my wheels but this takes it to another level! I mean touchup paint down in the lugwells! Where the lugs hide most of it, and what's left is deep in shadow - bravo! I personally can't take this amount of time on each wheel but I admire the thoroughness.
You basically only have to do this once so thoroughly.
I feel the touch up in lug wells is also futile, since tightening the lugs will scratch the paint again.
Bruh!! It worked great!! Granted my car wasn't that old but the recommendations and method made my rims and tires sparkling 🎉 thanks a mil!!
Just wow. Commendable dedication, effort and attention to detail.
Great video as always Chris!
One thing that has changed how I clean everything is drill brushes.
Typically they come in a three pack, ones a big round, a small round, and one that is a longer brush. They go on a drill and now you can clean extremely fast, your hand thanks you, and the results are incredible.
I understand not everyone has a drill, but get one for other jobs. Bonus points is you can use the same brushes in your house. The crap that gets built up in your shower? Literally 2 minutes and it's gone.
They scratch the crap out of your paint and are usually of Dubious quality I find. I suppose with enough suds and attention damage could be avoided

I've got o.e.m chrome wheels which are highly likely to scratch, but never once have they done anything. You have to make sure you buy the ones designed for vehicles.
@@shanegrant2144 yeah i agree. I wouldnt use drill brushes anywhere near the outside of my car. But they're better for carpet and cloth seats
Can we all take a moment to appreciate this man's work to deliver us these amazing tips and tricks that are Super helpful
"Can we all take a moment to appreciate" likes hunting comment from a dummies. Boooring.
Honestly love your vids Chris. every video you have i have learnt something new. Best channel out there for good and thorough explanation videos on how to maintain your car with easy products that people can go and get easily. Keep it up.
Great. This is DETAILing and not just Cleaning. And thank you for all the info
I can confidently say I will never be able to get my wheels looking as good as yours, mainly because I live in NYC and don't have a driveway- but also cause your patience and attention to detail are second to none! Great video- while I may not be supercleaning my wheels anytime soon I will definitely use the tips you gave here the next time I hit the car wash! Thank you so much
Been waiting for this video to drop 😍
Me too :p
Thank you for teaching me how to detail, fix, and buy and find cars with your years of amazing content!@chrisfix
Absolutely awesome workmanship!! Thanks so much!! Love from Scotland, X.
AMAZING.... I CAN'T WAIT TO DO THIS TO MY CHEVY TRUCK! IT'S A NEW TRUCK SO MY DUST IS NOT BAD, BUT THIS WILL KEEP MY WHEELS LOOKING LIKE SILVER DOLLARS! THANK YOU CHRIS... AMAZING WORK AND VIDEOS!
Thanks for inspiring me to really get into cleaning and repairing my car. You break down each step and make it easy to follow.
I also like that I can see every product you’re using as I can normally get all the Meguiars products at my local auto store here in Australia. Thanks again Chris! 👍🏼🦘
Man, these videos are sooo satisfying to watch! Who has a problem with a completely clean vehicle? No one! Great job, Chris!
What I like the most is that ChrisFix always makes fairly simple, easy to follow and clear videos for beginners, yet always a unique and new topic. Thanks ChrisFix, I do believe in car mechanics but if you don't understand cars, half of the mechanics / car shops are more than ready to rip you off.
I wish I had an ounce of your self discipline. Amazing videos. Never stop being so diligent.
This super clean is awesome :) I need to get this done on my collectable car.
Hey Chris! I started watching you years ago. Thank you! I watch every video and you helped me realize my passion. I start schooling for diesel mechanics in a month! Thank you for bringing out my passion!
looks like i have whole winter to watch every cleaning videos from chris to clean and take care of my mustang before next summer :) awesome video love the results and details and importance of protecting and not to damage a car. Cant remember when i last time watched ur videos and subsgribed but now since i own mustang i just wanna keep it perfect. Have a great day. Peace.
I’ve never though in my 15 years of driving to remove the wheel to clean the inner side.
This is amazing!
I don't think I've ever spent the time to thanks you for the sheer smount of work you put in. You sparked my love for mecanical stuff. I started working on my car watching your videos. I found a passion in working on mecanical stuff there and decided to go back to school here in Québec as a Technician in mecanical ingeneering. I've been working as a mecanic in a plastic thermo-forming shop and the concepts you ilustrates and the good habits you show in your videos is something I try to apply everyday on the job. As we say in Québec : Tu as fais une criss de bonne job! ;) thanks man!
Aloha Chris. Just wanted to say thank you for the content you put out. Three years ago I could barely change my brakes, but thanks to your videos I built my confidence and have been flipping cars (proper and thorough repairs) for two and a half years. I literally just finished painting a 2021 NV200 5
minutes ago that I welded in a new rear floor and subframe… just wanted to say thank you and to keep up the good work, your effort is appreciated .
SUPER detailed and thorough! Thanks for posting!!
