Impressive presentation. Needed info on cleaning my wheel and your vid got me super interested to keep watching.

I much prefer these specialised cleaning videos. The water spot remover on the badges/emblems video was great too, I use that on every car i detail now. Some good suggestions for products to review....firstly Rimmats - I got mine the other day and I think they are great, there are many benefits to them (stops dirt from the floor getting on brushes & applicators, allows you to clean/dress all way around the wheel without moving the car, works as a hose guide to stop snagging under wheels etc) . And secondly Kamikaze No.5 anti aging cleanser (I know it sounds like a beauty product lol), it's apparently the only product out there that can remove ALL coatings including ceramic, brilliant if you want to change or refresh your coating without the need to polish. Something that every detailer should have in their arsenal

thanks for the comment. Always love the feedback. As for Rimmats i actually have a better alternative that I use and its 2 vented floor tiles. I feel you have to roll the car back to get fully around the wheel the wheel so it would be a faff for me

@@epicautomotivedetailing the Rimmats have ridges that raise the wheel up allowing you to clean the full face of the tyre. That's one of the reasons I got them to save you having to move the car back and forth. You do eventually move the car off the mats when the job is finished so you could check if you've missed anything then but so far it looks like they're able to give you full access for cleaning and dressing.

@@epicautomotivedetailing I thought the detailing scene had gone quiet too, must be the weather lol. Yes I know the rimmats aren't the cheapest at 50 quid but I think it's worth it in the long run. When I first started "proper" detailing I heard a tip saying use 4 pieces of 6x2 timber with a ramp cut out on one side so you can drive onto them leaving the face of the tyre overhanging and easy to clean/dress. So I've been using wood chocks up until recently, and although they were relatively cheap and easy to make, it definitely looks more professional now using the Rimmats

Love your videos it’s really good to see everything made straight forward when cleaning. Thank you:)

Cheers my friend

I use bar soap, or hand gel soap, into a microfibre with warm water, make a decent foam with it, slather it on the wheel and leave it for 2-3 minutes, wipe off a couple of times and then repeat if I need to. Works a treat every time. Leather is skin at the end of the day so whatever cleans my hands would clean a steering wheel.

I used about 0.5l water and a dot, maybe half a spoonful of apc mixed in. Cleaned twice. makes a huge difference. thanks

Hi when you have cleaned the steering wheel is there a protection you can put on a leather steering wheel ? All the best cheers 👍

I like to use an autoglym magic sponge and an apc. Super quick and a nice matt finish.

​@epicautomotivedetailing yeah it is a bit smelly lol. Magic sponge on leather is a game changer though either with apc or interior clean both work great. Was shown the magic sponge trick on one of the courses I went on with autoglym at work.

Hi Mate, good video. One question. Is there a safe way not to just clean but to desinfect a steering wheel? Like with alcohol or somerhing else. For example to prevent covid, obtaining a used car or just personal ocd preferences😅 Thank already
