I like how Yvan is the kind of guy who could have his own ways and not change his mind just because he's been doing it this way for years. But instead, Idk if he's actually been using all these methods for years, but they are all so cutting edge and counter intuitive sometimes that when you actually try them you see how much easier you can do your work. This is actually efficiency combined with good results. We do sometimes forget that TikTok videos and Reels are there to entertain and amuse and are not the most efficient ways or even necessary in many occasions.
we cut up a bunch of the long form videos into reels, because we know that's how a lot of people get their information these days. But the CZcams videos, hearing him explain things, are great. And yes Yvan's wisdom can seem very strange to most until you try it. And hey, if it works it works. You'll know pretty quick whether you want to adopt it or not but it's good to hear him really explain his logic behind the methods
@@diydetailofficial Exactly! If you know about this channel you understand the shortform videos. If not, probably they make you check out the brand, which is good. For example, I recently used rinsless for the 1st time on my tires and saw how unnecessary those wheel and tire cleaners are for me that I take care of my vehicle very often. And that's just one of the things. 💪
We all learn new stuff everyday 😀
All I want to say is Bravo 👏 to your chemists! Excellent lineup chemicals!
Thank you
Thnx, been using too much steam and APC. I need to go back to using air along with rinseless wash. Makes sense to me!
Always a good place to start (and stay) unless absolutely necessary 👍
Excellent information....great advice...like paint correction, start with the least aggressive method..
Exactly. Thanks!
Excellent value and Yvan definitely educated me on using rinseless wash. Your trick of blowing air into a microfiber towel soaked in rinseless is simply satisfying. One way to explain stains to customers is the yarn has been blemished by the stain. At this point you can use a darker color dye or live with the stain blemish. Odors are a pain as they get into the hvac system and even the adhesives inside the vehicle. I have used enzyme cleaners but I did notice a chemical scent leftover in the vehicle which lasted about a month. Thank you guys for the education as my productivity has increased a lot but there is still work to do.
Thank you!
I love interior videos. Nick asks great questions as if a weekend warrior would be able to ask Yvan. The air into a damp towel is interesting. I'd like to try that. Do you guys have a video demonstrating that?
We don’t have one specifically but there are a few videos online of it:) we will make one soon!
I always value you guys teaching and techniques when it come to detailing. And I practice on it👍🏼 continue doing your thing I enjoy every minute of it 👍🏼💪💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks 👍
Once again great video. I have switched to only using DIY rinseless. The cleaning power of your rinseless is second to none. I’ve been converted.
I finally switched to all clean and cannot get over how well it cleans dirty tires. (15:1 in Ik foamer.)
I think I learn something new with every video.
Interior clean and protect and interior ceramic just came in, can’t wait to try it this weekend!
Thanks Steve! Yes our Rinseless is special, I’m glad it’s helping you 👍
Your Rinseless is my favorite cleaner. It makes cleaning my car easy. It makes cleaning my bathroom a breeze too.
Great to hear!
FYI... a rinseless is not a sanitizer, consider using one as needed.
I love mckees N914 rinseless washmnbut I use it only for exterior and as clay lube and as water thinner . I will give DiY detail rinseless a try and does it have bit of water thinning capabilities for hard water to minimize the risk of water spots?
Yes DIY Detail Rinseless Wash softens water by encapsulating minerals, and rendering them useless.
@@diydetailofficial if I leave rinseless in a keg sprayer for a week would any of the characteristics degrade?
Definitely need a interior glass cleaning video. Nick vs yvan
Coming soon!
Awesome video! You all have made detailing so much easier! I detail on the side and after watching DIY detail videos I have came along ways and it’s so much easier now then when I started. Thank a lot! 👍🏼
Thank you
I was a doubter but now I can't say enough about rinseless wash as an interior cleaner. I am using one that claims it has SiO2 ceramic in it and it has amazed me. A damp towel and then a dry towel and it works on leather or cloth. I am now a believer. Thank you so much for the tip
love to hear it! Try DIY Detail Rinseless Wash next:)
Great interior cleaning program, really enjoyed and hope to get started soon, thanks.
You can do it!
Wow. These are game changing tips. Thank you!
Thank you
Excellent video, thanks guys 😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
yup, perfect is the enemy of good enough. You guys are so on point!
Thank you
Just purchased your Rinseless Wash a few weeks ago, love the stuff!
Awesome! Thank you!
Ivan is absolutely correct!
Thank you
I believe the spelling's Yvan.
Thank you
Well that fast lesson on enzym and ozone machine are good things to know, thanks!
Thank you for watching
Just got an opportunity to watch this pod today.... On the subject of headliners, I have my own little trick! Buy one of those cheap soap foamers, and fill it up with rinseless wash diluted 256:1, then put a little foam on my brush, works great!
Always be cautious about introducing moisture to headliners but for sure, use what works for you!
thank you guys for such incredible content. for an amateur like myself who has liked experimenting, i’ve also come to the same conclusion myself: a rinseless dampened microfiber is such a versatile tool for cleaning glass and interiors
It really is, right? Especially our Rinseless, it does clean super well so it’s good for folks who might not have tried this method to start now:)
Is there a video how to clean interior with tinseless?
@@m.r.5719i believe they apply interior ceramic coating in this video as well: czcams.com/video/-MGeOsRZPwA/video.html but the early part is using a rinseless infused towel to clean. i find i don't even need a drying towel. i dip my desired low pile MF towel in a bucket of rinseless 1:256, wring out as dry as i can, and then just go to town wiping down everything
Thank you
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
A ton, a ton, A TON!!!! Tons of useful information!!! I was impressed about don’t smoke if you recently used enzymes cleaner. Super simple but who would be thinking about it.
Glad to hear it!!
People with egos need to leave them at home on the dresser. I've tried many things I've learned from yvan and seen for myself it works. Most things I learned in autobody during high-school ( many years ago) I've ditched and replaced with yvan knowledge. The 5-5-5 method for example. I've done it more than once (granted I have a 15mm and takes 2 or 3 times) and it really does work. And the idea that you cut with a rotary and finish with a DA or random orbital. No. It's the opposite. I use to do that, but reversed that after watching yvan. I've had a couple guys get the look of horror when they hear I use the rotary for finish until they see the gloss. The moral is, listen to someone that has been doing it as long as you've been alive or longer than you've been alive. Ego doesn't belong really anywhere in life, things are always changing and improving
Thank you
Great video
Thanks for the visit
I must say, Yvan converted me to rinseless back in the day when he worked for optimum about 10 years ago. I use rinseless for everything. Im glad there are many options for rinseless. I use it on everything. My apc barely get used other than engine bays, and wheels.
Also Yvan as a VW/Audi guy I agree the soft touch on the older cars definitely wears easily. The newer cars dont have it, but I still stick to the rinseless on interior methods.
PS Audi is pronounced OWW DEE :P
Thank you!
Every time I do the exterior and interior of a car the customer is always more excited about the interior no matter how shiny the outside. I have had people who had me do their car because they were going to sell it end up keeping it because the clean and fresh interior made them realize the car is just fine.
that's when you know you're good at what you do:)
Great content as always! Thank you. Which Enzyme product would you suggest?
For odor removal or carpet cleaning?
What you just say about my mom’s rinseless wash? Boy you lucky I like your mullet 🤣🙃❤️ enjoyed the informative video!
Haha thanks:) I should wash the mullet with Rinseless 😂
@@diydetailofficial 😜
Amen brother Yvan, I often see so called professionals spraying chemicals on interiors as well as electronics. I may have been cleaning cars longer than Yvan, I have seen damage electronics.
Well said
Quit fighting it, listen to Ivan. He knows where it's at. I only detail my own car's, I can be doing other things than be waiting around for the car interior to dry.
There you go! Thanks for the comment Robert
Do you have a video of you cleaning the Air vents with rinseless wash, damp towel and compressor?
Not yet, but good idea.
The biggest challenge and reward for me is cleaning stained light-colored seatbelts.
Be careful with seatbelts
Hello team! Can I use All clean to clean dirty carpets with staining and if so what dilution ration should I use ? Or how should I approach this ?
Yes you can!, 30/1
Any plan to release a fabric / carpet cleaner ?
Or can we use any of your products for that?
We are working on one, but DIY Detail Rinseless Wash will surprise you.
what is the dilution for the enzyme cleaner in the fogger??
Really good information thanks.
It depends on the product used.
Hi guys, been binge watching your videos to catch up on how to be more efficient with time and products. ALL my interior windows are tinted. Sides and rear are varying dark and the windshield is clear UV film. My question is, will the ‘aggressive’ side of your towel be too much for the tint film to handle? Would using a stronger dilution of the rinseless wash first then following up with the 256:1 dilution be an effective alternative?
Use a low nap towel with Rinseless at 256/1.
Thank you for the advice, I’ll put it into my repertoire!
Could you recommend some odorless enzyme cleaners as well as most economical?
I don't have any brand names off the top of my head, ask at your local janitorial supply store (google Aramsco or Jon Don, they're in every state I believe so might be near you) -- or even just call them and see if they have suggestions.
What kind of products can i use to Clean the seats (upholstery) with the Rotary polisher method?,,, You recommend foaming products?,,, Regards from México
DIY Detail Interior Clean & Protect
@@diydetailofficial Thank you!!
This video is informative, but I will keep using the detail brushes that I have. They work well for my cars.
Great
Can you use the rinseless damp towel on the carpet and fabric seats
Yes
I'm with Ivan. I've never used any chemical on an interior. Damp towel with rinse less or before the invention with vinegar and water diluted. I've cleaned some really dirty cars this way. Less is more.
Thanks for sharing!
So regular laundry fabric softener diluted 10:1 is safe for use in cars and wont damage the fabric and leave a film over time? If i plan on having my dog in the car for long peroids.
I’ve only used it occasionally, so unfortunately won’t be able to comment on long term effects. You can use DIY Detail Interior Clean & Protect as it has antistatic properties.
@@diydetailofficialTyvm for all of your replies, just bought a new car and I want to try to keep it nice for as long as possible.
What is the best product to protect leather?
DIY Detail Interior Ceramic
Do you guys have any recommendations on removing the zinc sunscreen stains? I used apc and ipa on exterior trim and wont remove. But have this on seat and interior/exterior trims, nothing seems to work.
It’s quite difficult to remove without damaging the substrate below it. DIY Detail Rinseless Wash with a scrubber will help. But will take time.
Would you say melted bit of chocolate on a lighter color cloth interior is stained or dirty? Either way what would you guys use to tackle that?
Yes
When using an apc is it a good idea to wipe it off after with water ?
Yes
I would appreciate it if you could get a soft top jeep wrangler in the wash bay and show us how you would clean and protect it. TY
czcams.com/video/rvCdyLlBbvw/video.html
this video is a convertible soft top, but you get the idea
Is it ok to use disinfectant liquid to clean interior instead of interior cleaner?
It’s best to clean first, then use that as a follow up.
You may not need UV protection for your interior if you only plan on keeping your vehicle for 3-5 years, but the glass certainly does not completely block UV radiation. The top portion of my F-150's door panels have faded significantly from long term sun exposure.
What year out of curiosity?
I've noticed this also. It's not just an issue from a certain manufacturer. That is why its so hard for me to wrap my head around something that Ivan says about their interior protectant that basically makes it a dry surface after applying ( I remember him talking specifically talking about leather and a steering wheel). Can you expand on this Ivan?
It doesn’t have to leave a greasy film behind to leave protection 👍
I use rinseless to clean my motorcycles. All the grungy crap around the front wheels from brakes and other comes right off with rinseless.
Awesome
I'm in Australia, where can I buy the microfibre towels that you use to clean the interior?
Check with Car Care Co
What are they called?
@@diydetailofficial
DIY Detail interior towel.
How do you clean the fabric seat without an extractor?
Rotary and a wool pad.
I have heard spraying glass cleaner on carpet can’t also help to get out pet hair? Have you tried this?
Yes, it breaks the static
This man has an EPIC moustache
EDIT- Yvan not Nick hahahahah
Thank you
So how do I clean The vents if it don’t have a compressor?
A brush, or fold a towel
ozon does work, but in a complete ozon room, when i bought my car of a heavy smoker i stored the car for 2days in what we call an ozon room, youre car is parked in a air thightroom whit a big ozon on the ceiling, after a few hours the room is filled with ozon, 1hour later the ozon will be removed after that youre car will be ventilated with fan for 1day and the car didn't had any smell anymore even the small oil leak under the hood you cant smell. but i dont now if thats only availeble in europe. speaking of europe, when is/will diy detail products be availeble in europe??
Good plan. We are available in Europe.

@@diydetailofficial awesome thanks, i let family parchuse some product when they were i thought calafornia, but now i can go order new products, btw the ceramic interior is really awesome
Thank you
I used opticlean as the cheapest. Interior spray ever for years. I’m replacing it with DiY RW.
Thank you
Are you, Yvan, sure about the UV-protection and glass in a car? I mean, we can still get ourselves sunburned behind the window?
Yes
The enemy of honestly professional detailing thats efficient and logical, is American Theatrics in most American car detailing YT videos.
But viewers love it unfortunately
What about tips on removing sand from the carpet?
You want something to vibrate the carpet, the sand will float to the surface.
The inside of the windshield is my enemy!
It is for many
"High quality surfactants." Please explain. 5:17
There are many different types of surfactants. Some lower cost, lower quality ones are not very safe for the vehicle or detailer
❤👍👍
Thanks for watching!
First and ready to roll
Appreciate you as always!
Spraying the cleaner on surfaces on an interior at times is needed you just need to be smarter than the cleaner 😁
Haha fair, sometimes it can get you in trouble though. I do spray occasionally but as we know Yvan does not:) He makes such a good point that when you introduce moisture you also need to remove it. -Nick
Thank you for the incredibly useful tips. I sent y’all a message on Instagram asking for advice with a trim piece on my car. If you’re able to help out it would be most appreciated.
Hey Josh, it went into our "hidden requests" folder for some reason. I see the message now and I'm responding to it:)
Hey Josh, can you kindly send me that in an email? nick@diydetail.com. Thanks!
Any “correct” method coupled to specific products, is useless and meaningless unless you examine its COST per use, and how that cost can help you significantly lower your overall costs while satisfying that customer and making that customer say great things about you and becoming a loyal customer.
Well said
