**The D-List: Car Cleaning with a Budget in Mind**

Are you prepared to get wet? Oh no! We broke the seal. It was too good to be true.

Today, we're putting random car crap on trial and talking about car detailing stuff that can get pretty expensive. But lucky for us, there's a little website called wish.com where you can get that stuff for dirt cheap. Today, we have spent literally dozens of dollars on Wish.com car cleaning supplies and we're finally going to deep clean our race car Jetta.

I'm joined by the best car cleaner at Donut Media, Zach Joe. I'm James, and this is the show where we put random car crap on trial, aka The D-List. Big thank you to Omaze for sponsoring today's video. It looks like today's your lucky day, Buster, because Omaze has given you the chance to win a Mercedes AMG GT Stealth Edition with taxes and shipping included.

This stealth edition comes with signature blackout trim, a dark chrome grill, black AMG brake calipers, and an even darker interior. No wonder they call it the night package. Just go to omaze.com/donutmedia to enter for your chance to win. And the best part is every donation benefits the All Within My Hands Foundation.

(loud explosion sound effect) Oh yeah! Doug, what are you doing here? Well, I heard you were supporting the All Within My Hands Foundation and had to come up, dude. It's founded by my favorite band of all time, Metallica, with a focus on supporting workforce education and fighting hunger much more, dude.

There's so much more to it. As a demon, I do appreciate the darkness within this car. I guess you could say it really fades to black, huh Doug? (laughs) Yeah! It's a Metallica song. Never heard of it. You've heard 'Fuel' or 'Master of Puppets', right? (laughs) Doesn't ring a bell.

Can't say Metallica is your favorite band of all time and not know all their hits. Hey man, enjoying art shouldn't be a competition, okay? How about we spread a more positive message? Like, no matter what you know about Metallica, you can enter to win this Mercedes AMG GT Stealth Edition and support a great cause by going to omaze.com/donutmedia today.

Now let's get these nice people back to the show. Now to effectively test these products, we've been keeping the Jetta extra dirty for the past year. That's right, it's been on purpose. One of the most popular crowds that infest an interior of a car is dirt and dust. Yeah! (laughs) How do you fix those? With a vacuum.

Today, we're going to test out the Upgraded Mini 7000 PA-120W Super Suction Car Vacuum Cleaner Handheld Dry Dual Use Vacuum Cleaner for Car Home Computer cleaning. Yes, that goes into the old 12-volt socket. Nice length on that cord! (laughs) You'll be able to hit the whole car.

First, let's get rid of all the crud on the seats. We're going to test our vacuum. There are literal piles of crud. Let's see if we can do something about that. When you work on cars, you get a lot of crud on your butt and that butt-crud gets transferred to your seats and that's what we've got going on here.

(vacuum sound) Whoo! Not very strong. So in the ad, it literally showed it picking up an iPhone. Let's see if it'll pick up an iPhone as advertised. Yeah! That's some iPhone suction power. The sound is grating!

I mean, this is like pretty good. How much was this? $20. This might be the best Wish product we've ever had. All right, so it's not getting all of this stuff that's, like, really baked into the seats. Yeah! But I could see, you know, if you spent a lot of time on it, you'd probably be able to get a little bit more done.

Honestly, yeah! This is, like, the first Wish product we've tested where I'm like, "This might actually work!" (laughs)

Zach, we got allthe crud off of the car,but there's some placesthat crud likes to hidethat a vacuum just can't get to.- What do you do?Well Zach, you buy the CarwashMicrofiber Car Cleaning Brushfor Air-condition CleanerComputer Clean Tools BlindsDuster Car Care Detailing.Ooh, two-pack!- Yeah.- Oh, so it looks likeit's got some fingersto go into the vents ofyour air conditioning.It's a two-pack, thug life.- Let's see what we've got here.So, obviously, thishas three little prongskind of to go in-betweenthese lines in the vent.Do a little number like this.The problem is that, youknow, you got that there.To me, This is sort of like a,'As Seen on TV' type of product.Where it's like, it's abrush in a different shape.- Exactly.- And I don't need that.- Yeah. Now that said,there are detailing tools likethis that are more useful.And I will say thebrush under this is nicefor getting into all sorts of areaslike cleaning out this little wheel hereand just cracks and crannies.A brush is going to be super handy.But as far as this end goes,where it's made to clean vents,I would just use a microfiber.So the question is whether ornot this is a scam or a slam.And I'd honestly put it,kind of, in the middle.- Yeah.- It's a brush.- So we don't only havecrud on our air ventsand all over the car, wegot them on our seats too.- A lot of cruds.- So we bought the Car Interior CleaningDecontamination Fabric Cleaning CleaningQuickly Auto Foam Dry Cleaner Kit.- Six bucks.- Yeah so, you just, like,spray this stuff on everything.- On your whole interior.- Oh my God.- What's in the hand there?Is that a magic eraser?- Oh.(squeaking)I hate how that feels.- I bet this will cleanstuff up, honestly,mostly because of this.- A caution, if get in eyes, please washwith plenty of water, or go to hospital.All right, so we have somestains up here on our headliner.This car has lived a hard life.Let's see if this awful sponge, that feelsreally bad to the touch, andthe spray will clean it up.- Yeah.- I could see this workingpretty well on the dash,like a hard surface, buta cloth type of surface,(squeaky-sounding scrubbing)I don't know.Well, they advertised headlining.- Yeah. I mean.(squeaky scrubbing continues)- Good catch.(laughing)- Yeah.- I think it's working, butI don't know how much betterit's working than just,like, a sponge and water.- Right, I would not endorse this product.Don't buy it.- Yep. Scam.- Scam.And the last stage of detailingthe interior of your caris, of course, getting thosewindows nice and clear.So you can see out of them.For this, we have, kind of, a two-parter.First, we have the Car WindowWindshield Windscreen WiperCleaning Wash Brush Vehicles Care Tool.(dramatic sound effect)- Wow, and that's notnearly as big as it looks.- Yeah, it looks way bigger in the ad.- It feels a little unnecessary.- I mean, it's like a Swiffer.- Yeah. Mini Swiffer thatyou don't really need.- And we also have a 40Piece MultifunctionalEffervescent Spray CleanerWashing Machine RemoverHome Cleaning Tablets DeodorantTablets With Cleaning BottleSuitable for Clothing Stains,Kitchen Range Hood StainsToilet Floor Stains, Wood Polish, Etc.- Yeah, cleaning yourcar is the et cetera.- So you just drop one of these tabs,like an Alka-Seltzer,into this with some waterand it creates a glasscleaning solution, I guess.- I could seemyself eating one of these.- Oh yeah. Look at herbubbling up right there.- Cleaning power.- That's worth your money.- Yeah, just watching that- It's like satisfying.- And also like if youhave heartburn and a pen,she could probably just pop one of these.- So to clean our windows,we're going to use ourall-purpose, Alka-Seltzer cleanerand our tiny little Swiffer wand.- Yeah, and I think a hallmarkof a good window cleaneris that it, you know,evaporates kinda quickly.- Yeah.- That little tab shouldhelp evaporate it.If it doesn't evaporate quickly,I'm calling this a scam right off the bat.- Right.- That is a nice little spraypattern from that bottle.(dramatic music)See no signs of evaporation.- No, it's pretty wet on there.- Yeah, that's just a wet window.- So now this is my problem with this,is you've done one window about halfway.- Super dirty.- It's already dirty.- Yeah.- This ain't doing it for me.Yeah, it's just water basically.I don't know what that tabis supposed to have done,but it doesn't look likeit's helping the processof cleaning that glass at all.- And what is this doing for methat a paper towel wouldn't do?- Nothing actually, it'sprobably working worse.Especially because that thing stays dirty.You only have one optionon that microfiber.- These are two awful,completely ineffective products.- Scam.- You're better off spittingon the window and doing this.(background laughter)- I don't know if I agree with that,but you're on the right track.- This is HGKJ AutoEngine Warehouse Cleaner.So, instead of an engine bay- It's an engine warehouse.- Oh right.- I'm a little skepticalabout the 'rinse-free'.- I'm a hundred-percentskeptical about the 'rinse-free'portion of this, I mean,that doesn't make any sense.How does the dirt leave?(both laughing)- Very tiny bottle, veryconcentrated apparently.Shake well and spray on dust, oiland wait three to five minutes.Try not to flush with water.If so, please do it under theguidance of a professionalto avoid short circuitor damage to some parts.- Okay, so I guess theyjust don't want you to rinsebecause, you know, it's a liabilitythat you're going to cook some electrics.Well, our engine warehouse is super dirty.So, should we see if this stuff works?Well, when you're doing anycleaning of the engine bay,it's a good idea todisconnect your battery.Even if you're not rinsing.- Any good smell?- Soap.- Yeah. This is probably just soap.(James laughing)(dramatic background music)- Let's give it three to five minutes and- See how she wipes off.- Yeah.- All right. It's beenthree to five minutes.Let's see if this stuff works.I mean, yeah. It's wiping away some dirt.Again--- Like soap.- Like you would expectsoap and water to do.- I want something, like, more- Foamy- Dangerous.- Oh yeah, I want it to havesome warning labels on it.- Right?- I mean, thefact is this engine bayis a little bit cleaner,but I think that's mostlybecause of our skills and muscles.Blam, blam, blam, man. That's a scam.- Next up we have, potentially,the blingiest part of any car, the wheels.All right, so first upanother HGKJ product.- Number 18.- Number 18,- Moving down the list.This is Car Paint Wheel IronPowder Auto Cleaning AgentWheel Rim Car CleanerCoating Supply, with an I E,Spot Rust Tar Spot Remover Polishes.- For six bucks,- $6.We got a little kit here.So we have our spray.We have a little sponge.- See, so this is more of a Wish product.That is a mini sponge.- That is a tiny sponge.(dramatic sound effect)(James wretches)- Really?- Yeah, it smells like eggs.- Oh my God, that is bad.- It's got sulfur in it.- That smells like a stink bomb.(both laughing)(Zach yells)That smells like a tunnel I was in once.(both laughing)All right, well we've got apretty dirty wheel and tire here.- Luckily we have HGKJ formula 18.I hate it.- Oh my God, that's rancid.- That smells so badly.- It's not worth it, like, already.- I know. Like, even if it cleaned well,I don't want to use a productthat smells like this.- It smells terrible.(dramatic, high pitched sound)And now my hands smell terrible.- Glad you're using it.- Car wash stuff issupposed to smell good.- Yeah.- It's supposed to smelllike girls' shampoo.The sponges so small.- I know- My hands are filthy.- Yeah, and this is not goingto clean all of our wheels.It's not like we're going to uncovera really nice finish butyeah, it's cleaning it.- But is it cleaning it better thana brush with soap and water?- I don't think so and then it smellsa thousand times worse.This is a no go for me.Absolutely 0%. This is almost a prank.(laughing)This is a prank product.- Not only do we want ourwheels to be shiny and clean,we want our tires to be shiny and cleanbecause nothing says classlike little bit of tire shine.So for that, we have the HGKJ50ml Multi-purpose Car AutoTire Wheel RefurbishingAgent Cleaner CoatingPolishing Protection Car Accessories.So it came with a sponge andit says spray this producton the tire, apply evenly with spongeand wait for drying.- Fart?- Worse, cancer.(both laughing)- Oh yeah.- It is like,- honestly, that's kindof more what I wantedthe engine de-greaser to smell like.That smells like it'sgoing to do something.- So we got all the dirt off of the tire,which is something you want todo before you make it shine.Let's see if HGKJ Auto Formula22 shines these guys up.- Drizzle some on my little foam biscuit,We're just going to do half the tireso we get a nice before and after,so we can see how effective this stuff is.It's a little extra foamy.- It's mineral spirits.- But mineral spirits, I don'tthink it would dry it out.- Yeah, this is a reallygreasy feeling. Tire shine.A lot of dirt and stuffis going to cling to this.- Yeah, and it might endup drawing out the tirea little bit, in the long run because,yeah, it's like Goo Gone.- Yeah, I'm not a fan.I mean, it does make ourtire look a little shinierfor now, but I think ifyou're interested in thatjust get a standard tirecleaner or a tire shine.- Would not suggest.- Now that our wheels and tires lookas fresh as the freshestset of Springwells,it's time to move on tothe most popular part ofany car, the exterior.And for that, we'regoing to start with theType B - Car Washer HighPressure Snow Foamer WaterProfession Car Cleaning FoamMachine Washing Foamaster- And my favorite part is coming up.Type A - 750ml Snow FoamLance, Type A, Type B Optional- Honestly, for 14 bucks,That looks like a lot of kit.- Again, smaller than it would be.- All right. Yeah.- I mean, it's dinky for sure.And of course we need soapfor our brush. Lance Canon,- Ooh DIY.- 10/5/1 pieces Car WashPowder Cleaning ShampooMultifunctional CleaningTools Car Soap PowderWindshield Wash Accessories.- $2. Not bad.- Are there a lot of like powdered soaps?- I've only seen, really, powdered soapsfor laundry detergent. Youcan powder soap, right?So I don't see any reasonthis shouldn't work.- So now that we're getting into it,we're realizing that eitherthey didn't send us a criticalpiece or much like international outlets,international hose pinningsare slightly different.So we're going to have to improvise.- I mean, this is like--- I mean, honestly, I've beenproud of some stuff I've donebut not--- I feel like it feels great.I feel like I'm we're in Apollo 13.So now that we have the hoseattached, let's add our soap.- Are you prepared to get wet?(slow, dramatic music)- Wow, not bad. It's leakingfrom the tool not there.- The weak point is not our seal.The weak point is the tool, not us.- So yeah, just hose her down like that.We'll let it soak.Start at the top and thenwe'll hit it with a brush.- I'm not mad at this.- Okay, great.(laughing)Oh no! Broke the seal.Which one? Oh, our good one.- Yeah, it was too good to be true.Yeah, keep doing that.- You know, I'm goingto let you get in on it?- Oh geez, thanks James.Just what I was waiting for.(James laughing)- It really spraysdirectly on your crotch.- This is ridiculous.So now, I'm not sure.- It makes it look likeyou peed your pants.- I'm just going to pee my pants soon.- It's like we designed it to do that.- Okay so, this isn'texactly the tool's fault.We definitely don't havethe correct connection,but I will say in terms ofthe usability of the tool,the placement of the soapdispenser or the soap containeris really annoying. It'ssucks in several ways.This paint job is worthmore than this crappy tool.- All right, Joe, what'sthe verdict on the brush?- Scam.- Scam.And of course, once you'redone washing the car,you don't want any pesky water spots.So you need to invest in a quality shammy.And for that, we'vegot an Extra Large SoftMicrofiber Cleaning Auto Car DetailingCloths Wash Towel Duster.Now, just based on this picture- Wow!This car and this ladyare either very smallor we have been misled.- It is also see-through, right?- You don't need to peel back the curtain.You can see through it.- All right, now thatwe've washed this hog.Of course, we got to dry it.So I've got my massivesee-through sunshade.I mean, it was drying it decently.It's not the most absorbentmicrofiber I've ever used,but there is, admittedly,a lot of it here.So it is doing a decent job.- It's like a towel.- Things are pretty dry.Paint still feels terrible.- Now, normally at this pointyou would use a polishingcompound on your carbut we don't need tobecause we have a $9 productthat will not only remove all scratches,but will protect it in the future.It's Practical Car ScratchRepair Nano Spray Ceramic CoatingCar Paint Sealant RemovedAny Scratch and Mark.- Any scratch?- And mark.- Wow!But we've got plentyof scratches and marks.- Yep.All right. Let's try them out now.Now, there's no instructions on thisother than do not eat.So I'm going to follow those to the tee.- It leaves us a lot.- Oh, sorry.It says it will removeany scratch or mark.These are a few that wecouldn't get out with thetennis ball hack, a couple videos ago.So I mean, this thing claimsto remove all scratches.These are scratches.- Good luck.(spraying sounds)So do we know how long we'resupposed to let us sit or no?- It doesn't say, theyjust say, "Do not eat,"- What do you think,what do you want to do?- Don't eat it.I mean, it seems to be cleaningsome of these scratches out.I mean, it does seem tobe some sort of like,you know, cleaning chemical.It's getting some of the gunk away.- So can you remove allthe scratches from your carand ceramic coated for $9?No, this is a total scam. This sucks.(blows raspberry)- At least it doesn't smell like farts.- At least it doesn't smell like farts.(exciting music)(parrot squawking)- It's been years,but the comments still haunts me.More HRSPRS?
