Finally, a detailer who doesn’t start washing the car with the dirty snow foam. That drives me crazy to watch these so called professionals rub in the dirty snowfoam with their wash mit.

Therapeutic is an understatement. Amazing work and very professional in your detailed explanation of each stage.

Just a tip, i take the hose off my pressure washer and use that to flood the panel gaps to flush away all the foam/car shampoo that can gather in them.

I just learned today from this video that you can use detail brushes in between the cracks of windows. I can imagine the amount of dirt sitting in those areas. This was a great detaild video. I'm and up and coming detailer myself. Just started in June of 2023.

Great videos Heather, it's good to see the whole processes to keep educated. How about a video showing a disaster detail in and out, up to decon and paste wax with all your personal favourite products , bearing in mind time constraints for mobile detailers. Apologies if you already did one.

Another lovely job Heather. Great seeing a proper filthy car get turned into a clean protected one.

Another interesting watch and my top tip gleaned today was a product tip. The HDD bead coat looked really good one that I will look at when my Gyeon wet coat and Auto Finesse products are finished as I use them predominately on my wheels and plastic arches as I wax my own cars. I am away to look into costs of each as a comparison. The car looked really good at the end and that car reminds me so much on my JCW as it was the same grey colour as that Mini. I Look forward to your next film.

Can’t agree with your comments on Wax Planet 8 below. It’s my go to in the winter to remove salt and traffic film. It’s ideal in cold weather as it is a one stop contactless remover so no need for several stages imo. Keeps your car cleaning time efficient and gets you out the cold fast too.

Very good! At times I wonder how much pre-treat stages are needed. Depending on soil level I think a foamed APC to start will do the job, and then you can put another layer of your shampoo of choice to start the contact. I'm guessing this vehicle needed the second foam pre-treat.

Just a friendly piece of advice, wash the windows last after the paint. It makes no sense to wash the glass and pick up dirt on your mit and then immediately go to the paint.

This HDD grime zero sounds very promising! i'd love one product as a pre-wash, a shampoo and a wheel/tyre cleaner. I hate having tons of bottles of different products personally. I pretty much wash my car bi weekly so hopefully its suitable for my basic traffic film from motorway driving

Random question Heather, but do those hankook ventus s1 evo 3 tyres have any rim protection? Hard to tell from the video but I have the same alloys on my F56 SD and they're one of the OEM recommended tyres. Saw them online for a decent price but rim protection is important to me so just trying to find out before buying. Any other feedback on them from you or anyone else would be much appreciated! (referring to the non run flats btw)

What are the mats you put under the tyres? I need to get me some of those!

What do you mean by using something on the tires that is not "distracting"? And also who would it be distracting exactly?

Hi there, in the video you say that the cold weather affects the reaction of the chemicals, try to do the following: Because you cannot add hot water to the mixture in the sprayer, put the sprayer in a bucket with warm water, this will heat up de sprayer bottle and the mixture inside. Ofcourse do not use scolding hot water, just water around 20 degree Celsius. Use common sense. This will help with the chemical reaction. hope this helps. Kind regards from an amature carcleaner.
