Great video!!!! You did a great job with all the little details most people miss. ...trunk, hood, doors.

I saw what appeared to be an air hose,if not sorry.
After a wash I use my compressor to clear water that will drain out later,mirrors,grille,wheel lug nuts,tail lights,inside trunk lip,lower rear fascia etc.

Two things that stood out to me was that you didn't use a wash device for the top half of the car, and another one for the bottom half of the car. Also, did you use that same wash device for the engine?

The second thing I didn't see wash the pooling or sheeting rinse. Since you are washing out side, this is critical in reducing water spots. A blow dry would also decrease the possibility of scratches when drying. Remember, the less you touch the paint, the less chance you have of scratching the paint.

Other than that, you have one cool azz camera!

You saw right my friend.

Did you notice that big tangle mess of a hose too?

Actually I did both. Notice on 1:04 (sheepskin mitt), 1:10 (mc chenille mitt), 1:16 (spray rinse), 1:20 (flooding). Wow.....all that within 16 seconds!? Not bad, huh?
