I can agree with you on not showing the roof Heather. I'm not too tall either & I once had to borrow a folding platform ladder from the client when cleaning the roof of their caravan. Keep up with the content. 👍

Lovely one Heather and against the unpredictable British weather 🙌🏻🇬🇧

Nice job there Heather! Wheels are not my favourite topic today, cleaned my car this morning and while washing the FNS wheel I see a bl**dy screw sticking out of the tyre where the tread meets the sidewall. Now booked in for a matching pair on Tuesday! Thanks for the video. :)

Another Awesome Video keep them up, My advice is with cleaning the wheels i wouldn't worry about the existing corrosion, when using a harsh chemical, i would say maybe try some autobrite purple rain for ingrained brake dust.

Fantastic video. I think vans are quite rewarding subjects because the average van is filthy so one detailed to this high standard really stands out. Anyone who can make a silver vehicle, let alone a van, this shiny is definitely doing something right.

Another great video, thank you. I used to drive a white Vito some years back, doing about 2k miles a week. I really enjoyed its weekly wash as it was typically well in need of it, specially during winter. The cargo area had a full fibreglass lining too, which was great for its chlorine solution clean out.

@@AutoCareHQ If i was closer i would say you could use my white S max as i tried washing it yesterday and couldn't get the algae stains off the paint from around the badges and in the roof gutter. 😔 So is anyone has any suggestions on how to remove it i will be grateful. I used Bilt hamber touchless and their shampoo, but i can still see green.

Hi Heather,what a difference from before,looks like new.even the way the wheels are they have come up well.

I was always a little confused by the Solution61 TFR and wax but never asked, makes more sense that it’s to help rinse rather than to add protection and I guess, then also works in their system with wash and wax and easy bead rinse aid to keep car shiny and protected at every stage. I also used Pyramid shampoo again recently and still enjoy it, so many good ones I have a new favourite every week 🤪

Great job on the Merc. The Clear coat on those alloys is gone and they looked miles better after the spa. Try a Red, White and Blue Auto Bright Direct snow foam on your next detail. It will make a awesome thumb nail. Try the Chemical Guys BLUE GUARD tyre shine. It’s oil based and it last crazy long on a properly degreased tyre with no fling. We just tried some 4 weeks ago and it’s still going strong.

Hi Heather, thanks for another video and meticulously written video description. I also own a red Mazda, although not nearly as nice as yours, and I'm currently doing underbody repairs and overhaul the corrosion protection. I highly recommend that you get yours on a lift and see what the state of the underbody protection is with your own eyes. Yours is practically new so probably fine, might just need some rock chip protection somewhere. Bloody garages couldn't care less about your car, and they won't tell you if there's something wrong or the protection is inadequate, as long it passes MOT. Also rumor says car manufacturers and importers are slipping with corrosion protection, yet another reason to take a look.

Great job Heather well done! Have you come across black gloss (piano like) plastic trim on the outside of a vehicle yet please? Bumpers etc. My wife’s picked up a brand new car this week and I’m wondering how best to clean these areas safely. Any thoughts please?
