Great vid. Minus the T-cut and use of a pressure washer, this video is my exact car-cleaning regimen circa 1997! My parents thought I was mad for using anything more exotic than washing up liquid and a gritty old brush kept on the floor of the garage, until my nana suggested I give mum's old Fiat Uno a polish before she traded it in and I added £500 to the trade-in value with nothing more than an afternoon's elbow grease and a bottle of Autoglym SRP. I still love walking past a car and catching a whiff of SRP - my neighbours' kids are old enough to drive now and are shining up their old motors like I used to, and no-one has more pride in their car than a 17 year-old petrolhead!!! :-)

In fact some of these products can still be found lurking at the back of the shelves in my parents garage covered in dust & cobwebs 😅 ugh, the sound of that sponge squeaking against the paintwork 😣 cringe. Great video

I deeply wish I had known more about detailing when I started in the 90s. Back then, you didn't have the benefit of the internet, and the multiplicity of information available now. I never scrubbed paintwork with a brush, Dad taught me better, but I didn't fully understand the polish and wax process, and how to avoid swirls. I learned way more about 11 years ago when I got back into detailing, and since then, I'm way better at it. But man, I wish I had treated my paint better, years ago.

This is how I do my car to this very day. And it still does not matter, 'cause every time I wash it, there's a rain coming in an hour and in two the car looks exactly the same as before the washing.

Enjoyed watching, to think this is what we used to have back in the day. I kid you not though, still to this day there are new cars being prepared out there using a builders bucket and sponges. Cheers Guru

Tcut is spot on, I've always used it and I've just used it again to remove the residue from debadging my car.

A Maintenance wash and wax. That's all. I started detailing with products from The Dollar store. Then researched better products to use that really worked on my cars. Bought a great vacuum and a snow cannon. Now two and a half yrs later. Got my car washing and waxing and interior cleaning. Down to a science. Shawn.

Didn't even rinse of the car before hand, used only one or two buckets of soapy water with a cheap sponge... and yes, threw what was left of the soapy water over the car :) Ahhh... those were the good ol' days.

Wow, t-cut, that brings back memories. Used to spend hours and hours wearing my fingers to the bone using that with stockinette cloth! Ah, those were the days!

Volvo made one iconic beautiful wagon. I mean just look at it.

Absolutely loved this one!! 👌🏻

We used chamois's instead of purpose bought towels because we couldn't afford the luxury of buying towels just to use on a car! Also, that got the wife involved with washing and drying them in a separate cycle. Yeah, they didn't work well but a real (not fake sheep skin) chamois when wet was a joy to feel -- so soft and delicate.

This guy could give a running commentary on washing the pots and i'd still be mesmerised

Seems like a couple of your complaints had less to do with the product and more to do with user error; such as wiping the over spray up with the chamois, which is not what it was made for. I haven't used a chamois in years but what I remember being good about them is that you can keep wringing them out and they keep absorbing but with a towel once it gets really wet, even wringing them out still causes a snail trail of water while you are trying to dry. You do admit that you applied the polish in direct sunlight, again the directions, so at least I will give you credit for owning up to it.

Turned out pretty decent to be fair, just goes to show you don't need to go spend a fortune keeping your car looking fresh

I was a teen back in the late 80s and in 90 I bought a brand new Mustang GT that was black and was OCD about it. Man did this bring back memories of my labor of love on that thing! The Turtle Wax protected it well, but it was a real PITA to remove, as microfiber towels weren't so common back then and using old t-shirts (which caked up quickly) to remove the wax wasn't uncommon. By far the WORST product available and commonly used then was Armour All. Me and everyone I knew use it religiously on the interior as well as all black trim and tires. What we didn't know was that the more you used it the more dependent on it your car became as it was a water based silicone product and dried out the plastics, vinyl and rubber.

Even back in the day, I used soft washcloths to wash and dry, and a cheap paint brush for the vents and interior. I do badly wanted to have my own detailing business, but now I only have one leg. Kinda sucks. Love your work!!

Great vid, brings back some memories when I used to detail my classic mini. No time for that now though due to family life. I used to use Turtle Wax Extreme paste, it was excellent and gave a shine that lasted for weeks. I thought it was very easily applied and removed.

holy adjectives

can you do one for the interior?

And who remembers buying used cars that had been blasted with Back to Back? Everything shone ... for a couple of weeks. Everything was sticky - including the steering wheel ... for a couple of weeks. Everything smelled 'new' and great ... till you passed out driving home. When washed off, it had attracted enough dust and dirt to fill a skip. Ahh, the good ol' days

Another fantastic vid! - I had all of these and remember my friend showing me how to apply back to black to get a wet gloss look on the glove box of my then company Escort. You couldn't breathe in the car after!

why so harsh? For someone who is cleaning a car, on the budget, those products, imo, are brilliant and for someone like you who is using fairly expensive stuff they may be rubbish but for others they are ideal.

The pain in your face at 10:17 is clearly visible.

I remember using all those products back in the day, great video!

This is a walk down memory lane, used a fair few of these products in the past like Wonder Wheels, Back to Black, Tyre Slik, even the single bucket, sponge. Slight changes to the line up was Mer Polish followed by a coat of Simoniz Wax and cleaning the windows with Windolene and old news papers (don’t ask) Didn’t have a pressure washer back then or even a hose because of the inside taps so had to resort to the use of a watering can after nipping to the local petrol station to use their Jet Wash for the Pre Rinse. Tar and Bug Remover was extra firm, squeaky passes with the sponge until it was either removed or I gave up. As always another great video 👍🏼

Ahh, the "good ol days" when you only had like 10 different products to choose from and you just didn't give a s#*t as long as the car was shiny enough to trade in. Now you're confronted with having to choose from 2300 products and not enough time to properly interweb and research them all :( I don't have time to detail my car, it'll be a few more years by the time I narrow down the "best" products I want to use on my "baby". What's that you say, they'll have 4800 products to choose from by then...ahh well I'll just trade this b*t@h in and start over. I jest, detailing is a fun hobby when you restrict yourself to a few products you like and work on technique and figure out a process that works for you...and stick to it. Otherwise you're just chasing you tail. Love the content of your videos and editing...always entertaining....I especially like this episode. P.S. ALOT of products are re-branded so "don't believe the hype" or the price.

keep it simple. If in doubt grab MEguiars products, theyre a good place to 'be' with little confusion. Detailer range is even easier as the APC is used everywhere and so is the xpress wax, just check out auot fetish detailer for his tips. Keep it simple, all products are 99% the same!

This video made me smile from start to finish. recognition galore! Thank you for presenting us this instalment Mr. Guru. :-D

I find this car washing/cleaning video very therapeutic to watch ..🥴..My worries / anger / frustrations have all gone after one session of watching this video.. and now I can connect with the Buddhist from Nepal when they are on a higher mental level ..🙏...!!!

the tar removal part made my hair stand on end.

Motorists used to be interested in how cars worked and how they could fix them ... now enthusiasts buy toiletries for cars the results of which last about as long as the first downpour.

terrortorn Very true. Detailing has become car enthusiasm for stupid people IMO.

Now they are too expensive and complicated for most motorists to learn how to fix. If i'm paying more for a car than a house I would like it to look good. Now if its a week end race car that Im not using to impress anyone then turtle wax and old rags will do.

Cars are still not beyond the wit of the average man. The experience and values of fancy car ownership touted by YT car vloggers is not the norm. Young men used to take some pride in lifting the bonnet and being able to do mechanical fundamentals at the roadside. They had to it was a necessary part of motoring and in many ways still is. Now if you have something exotic and money to burn then you are calling a taxi and going to the nearest 5* hotel while the AA cart the car off to the nearest dealership to be fixed. But for the average motorist this culture of tarting cars up rather than getting greasy is contributing to a generation of young men who can't change a wheel or have to get a "specialist" to install a battery.

Cars can’t be fixed on your drive, on a Sunday afternoon anymore. You can’t even change a bulb without taking the car apart!

My old truck is lucky to get a scrub down once a year! Just watching this brought back the memories of that first shitty car and trying to make it nice again.

I love this fella's complete indignation at anything less than concourse. It's fabulous.

Well its still better than my bucket of fairy liquid and hot water, applied with a knackered sponge in between brief rinsings of a garden hose

What would be your range of products for a modern day go over?

Retro rinse. Love it!

Nothing wrong with Wonder Wheels. Used it for years and it brings my wheels up brilliantly!
