Jambs are a pain, jambs are tough, but jambs are a must. The number one reason being, when we wash the car, if the jambs are dirty they will ooze contaminants as we dry the car and this will affect our cutting and polishing. The number two reason is because even though we don't look at jambs we still "see" the jambs, and if the jambs are filthy and the rest of the car is detailed you get a "detailed car" look, where as if the jambs are as clean as the rest of the car you will get a "new car" look, and thats what we want. |

With a long bristle paint brush (wrap electrical tape around the metal sheathing on the paint brush to prevent scratching) I spray and jab and scrub with the paint brush over the entire jamb and gaskets. For heavy grease and stubborn soil I will use my detail brush. Than I go over the area with a soapy mitt and rinse with water. Don't worry about getting water inside the vehicle, we still have the inside to detail and the carpets and fabric should still be wet from cleaning them. Finally, I blow the jambs out with the vacuum and the pincher attachment and wipe down with a microfiber towel. In extreme cases I will throw a coat of compound on or some spray detailer and if the gaskets are real worn looking I will give them a wipe down with the UV protectent. |
