Rinse Less Wash University: Yvan Teaches The Basics
Washing the car is the starting point, but the questions get wonderfully specific: which towel, which sprayer, and does the sponge work with ordinary car soap?
Those are some of the conversations beneath "Rinse Less Wash University: Yvan Teaches The Basics," the most watched of DIY Detail's fourteen new uploads. Yvan's lesson covers washing and decontamination using the channel's own rinseless-wash product. It reached about 15,000 views, with one longtime viewer describing how small lessons accumulate over years of watching Yvan and Nick.
The rest of the week moved from cleaning to polishing: "How Many Sprays of Gold Standard Polish?" drew almost the same total audience as the washing lesson, while "How to Polish Paint EFFECTIVELY!" and "Why a 25mm Stroke Polisher?" tackled technique and equipment. The garage-makeover series also continued with a Drainvac installation, a system Yvan describes as one used in their detailing shops.
Right now, "Pad Cleaning Tip" has the most daily momentum, followed by "APP (Adhesion Promoter Polish) vs Panel Prep" and the polisher explainer. The practical little maintenance jobs are getting their turn alongside the fuller lessons.
The channel crossed 100 million total views, adding roughly 676,000 during the week while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is running above its usual pace. Among nearby motoring channels, GMC had a similar-sized viewing week, while OGS & Mechanics and The Car Edition Ltd had substantially bigger ones. For DIY Detail, the useful conversation continues down at towel level: viewers are asking what to use to work water-spot remover into the surface.

What viewers say
These videos have thought me so much - Thanks for all the great info Yvan, Nick and the DIY Detail team! I’ve been watching them for years now, and it seems that every time I watch them, I learn something new. Not necessarily a big thing, but those small things accumulate!
@SébastienVielSee it on YouTubeAwesome video guys. Nothing refreshing like a diy detail video on Sunday. Just a question on water spot remover. I noticed you guys don't really use it on the wheels. Is it because the wheels don't have water spots or it's really not needed on them. Thanks for all you do.
@incrediblez394See it on YouTubeAfter applying water spot remover, what kind of towel did you use to work the water spot remover in?
