Can I Save this Disgusting Fiat 500 - Disaster Detail

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In todays video I am taking on this Fiat 500 that is covered in Mold / Moss and Lichen. It also has Ash embedded into the paint.
I will be undertaking a full decontamination and polish, followed up by a ceramic coating to hopefully prevent this from happening again in the future.

    Great video Dave, just goes to show what can be achieved at home with very good results, fantastic job. Spent a few days machine polishing my car and appling a ceramic coating in Febuary and it took me the rest of the week to recover ! Fair play to the guys that do it full time . Keep up the fine content

    Thankyou Gordon, really appreciate the comments. Yeah i feel you need to be honest with stuff like that, if you dont have the luxury of a ramp for polishing your going to need to get into some uncomfortable positions and for me it does get quite sore on the back. I still love doing it though.

    All that in under 20 mins mate , I bet you had a couple of hours of film to edit down, music was brilliant , perfectly balanced with your voiceover , I think maybe one criticism is you sound a little echoed , maybe sit closer to the mic 🎤 Yet to use some Gyeon , that tar remover looked especially good , again congrats on the 1K milestone mate, 👍

    There was lots of footage to go through and try pick out what i wanted, as you know you spend more time editing than actually washing the cars sometimes. I really like the gyeon products, they are a little more expensive than other brands which can be a bit off putting but the tar remover is a great product. Yeah the voiceover stuff has allways been a bit sketchy for me, i need to get a proper mic for doing them as the basic built in ones arnt great.

    I enjoyed this video. Nice relaxed pace 😎 and I like that you showed machine polishing doesn’t have to be in some climate controlled body shop. I have been detailing my own car and also friends and families cars for just over 2 year but always been afraid to machine polish them as I was always told it shouldn’t be done outside and I have don’t have access to an indoor facility but you have proven that isn’t always necessary.

    Thankyou John, the snowfoam is from a company called squid ink detailing and is called alkafroth. This one is an alkaline formula for stronger cleaning and they also do a ph neutral foam called froth. Both create an excellent blanket of foam which is long dwelling.

    Dave your confidence is growing so much more with every video and your editing is getting better too! The contamination in that roof definitely looked something similar to ash/soot we used to get in our old house but a contact wash cleared it no problem - although obviously I clean my cars a bit more often than that 500 🤣🤣
