If you're washing some beater, sure go for it but who the hell risks spraying water all over the interior and in side the door panel on a $100,000+ car? A wet rag and some elbow grease usually does the work for me when I clean my jambs.

Hosing door jambs and using a wash mitt avoids scratches....you dont wash your car with a wet rag...so why would you wash door jambs with it.
What little overspray of water hits the panel...can easily be wiped.

I would never take a hose to the door jams, just in case water gets inside the panels, which it will
just like stated, wet cloth and elbow grease works for me also
I wouldnt risk getting any of my leather and electronics wet

I guess you missed the part where he was using the same mitt that he used on the fucking WHEEL WELLS and stuffed into the greasy hinge area. A dirty mitt will cause less damage than a clean, wet cloth?

I once worked as a detailer and everything he did in the video was pretty common. Keep in mind some shops have a higher standard than others. Ya and there are some things in the video that I would never do to my own car.

A wet rag just spreads the existing dirt in the door jambs which causes scratches....I've detailed Bentley's before...those Bentley's have 10" door jambs...so it's quite easy to notice scratches.
Like I said...if you truly are a detail fanatic...you would wash your jambs just like the outside of your car. Quote:

Anyone who cares for their car doesn't wash it like that, and that proves why you should always do shit yourself, unless the person has awesome credentials.
