nice one that's brilliant good luck with the business

If you haven’t already, can you try the AA range of cleaning products from Home Bargains, a fraction of the cost of the Halfords range and I would be interested to see the difference 😂 I use it regularly and happy with the results for budget products

Fun fact having come from the company... ive trialled many products here in a budget, ive noticed the autoglym and halfords advanved stuff are actually on par with eachother and share the same production numbers on the bigger bottles. Nice to see someone getting it out there tho 😊

Well done good to see someone talking about stuff that a lot of people would be buying if not that into the detailing,but just like washing there car on a weekend,

Great honest review video Dave. Don't think I'll be rushing out to purchase that Halfords kit. However, for someone starting out and on a tight budget, the kit certainly has its place.

Cheers Karl the kit isn't quite for me but the triggers and bottles are really good quality so always handy backups

Like the fact that you cover cheaper alternatives. I have been influenced by detailer channels and have spent a fortune on different glass cleaners. Latest being the new Bilt Hamber product. However for me, nothing works better than a melamine sponge soaked in warm water with just the tiniest drop of washing up liquid, and dry/buff with the all important microfiber cloth. Thanks for the content.

Halfords ADVANCED socket sets are made under contract by stanley or Apex tools.

Recently bought this myself to prep my golf for its mot. Honestly it’s not bad for the money! My only disappointment is the wheel cleaner as my golf is 16 years old it doesn’t have enough punch to clean the ingrained fall out but for the money it’s probably not bad on newer/ cleaner wheels for a quick cleaning. Defiantly recommend the kit if your in a really tight budget. The shampoo did a good job of making my lemon look decent, the glass cleaner and interior spray did a good job of removing various grime from the previous owner who used to smoke in the car. The kit imo is only really missing a pack of micro fibres!

Enjoy your product review videos like this one Dave. I have the reactive wheel cleaner which I haven't used much but will probably now use it on my sister's car this weekend as it's not that strong so shouldn't do any damage 👍🏻

Good video well explained and demo'd. On a budget, and limited to Halfords, I'd be tempted by the carplan super no1 kit at £18 with turtle wax redline wheel cleaner. Great wheel cleaner, I used to use when it came out, but the triggers always leaked after a few uses. Either that or all turle wax green bottle line. I also tend not to use glass sealant (on my windscreen), as I havn't found one that doesn't give wiper judder, streak (generally be hard to apply or hard to buff off), or ghost like mad when the wipers are on. I'm testing soft 99 Glaco DX on the z4, but I've not been out in any heavy rain yet.

Great info! I think you should try the EZ Care Car - Weekend Warrior Kit because everywhere I see on the fb pages it's a love hate with everyone so would be interesting to see a non bias opinion

Like the vids on the basic consumer product reviews dude. Looking forward to the TW multi purpose interior cleaner review. Being a turtle wax fan, hoping it stands up to expectations.

Koch chemie FSE will deal with this problem easily

There basic range is definitely just there so you can do all jobs at cost. Would last the average owner a long time.

I like washing the car by hand is cheaper than a hand car wash

Do you have any videos where you talk about the best value chemicals, so not cheap worthless stuff. But rather different chemicals that do a great job and are not stupidly priced for a 0.5% better result. I am not too worried about price, as realistically if I want to do this properly I don't want to handicap myself with useless chemicals. Also a good, wet and dry vacuum which can be turned into a carpet extractor for £400. And a good pressure washer.

​@@epicautomotivedetailingnever had an issue with the products from there but I booked and paid for a major service on a used car the Mrs just bought (she insisted on taking it to someone well known instead of a independent garage ...note lesson soon to be learnt ). Within 30 minutes of driving home after major service MIL light on dash. Car had been majorly overfilled with oil. Noticed air filter had not been changed (there was a cable tie holding the resonator on the airbix which would have absolutely needed to be cut off to access air filter. Checked and air filter had not been changed . I went through the list of checks for a major service as something didn't add up . Cabin filters not changed. Air filter not changed. Oil filter not changed . Car given " clean bill of health " on summary but serpentine belt cracked with chunks missing out of it. Etc etc . Most points of service not completed Also free brake check booked at same time and advised front pads 1.5 mm leading to me buying a set of rotors and pagid pads to fit . Cue my surprise when the pads on the car was meaty and nowhere near needing to be replaced ( Halfords quoted me £330 for new pads and rotors - I knew I could do the job for less than £80 ) Raised a complaint and the service manager fully refunded me the £279.00 for the major service and confirmed the member of staff had left so couldn't take any action as they had been doing this for a long time to other customers and not doing the work. They did give us free servicing for the next 20000 miles as "compensation" but I just do them myself instead and the Mrs is suddenly more than happy to let me do so 😅
