Hey Rob - thanks for a great video, especially for a newbie like me. I’m after a spray bottle like you use at 2:35 for the Citrus PreWash. I’ve read online you can’t just use a £4 one from the garden center as car chemicals can damage it. Only car cleaning specific one I’ve seen is £30. Any recommendations? Thanks 😊
Hi, thanks for watching and the comment. The spray bottle I used was an IK pump sprayer (about £24 on Amazon). But TBH, if you're on a tight budget for Citrus pre-wash you can use pretty much any spray bottle. I've used old empty household cleaner spray bottles in the past with no problems. (give them a thorough wash and rinse first). The bonus with the IK bottle is that it has markings on the side and once pumped up is dead easy to get around the car. Unless you are using really strong chemicals (tar removers, etc) any spray bottle should be fine.
@@WeekendWarriorDetailing bought an IK bottle haha. Least got it now. When I mix something up/dilute, how long can I keep it stored in diluted form? Indefinitely/until next wash?
@@johnabenna:) They are definitely worth getting. Yes, once mixed up you can leave it in the bottle indefinitely, just remember to release the pressure before putting it back on the shelf.
Hi Pete, Sorry for the lack of content. Over the summer I've had very little time to record any new content. I'm hoping to get something out in the next couple of weeks.
Hi. Thanks for showing how to use this. Got it a while ago. Saw your video and decided to crack it open. It showed my fully inflated tyre at 5psi!?? then after being connected for about 3 minutes my tyre went completely flat. I didnt use the deflator, and air was coming out of the hose just fine. Do you have any idea what the issue could be? Also could you confirm if the air that shoots out is intense like that in a gas station, it wasnt that intense so i was thinking perhaps that was the issue? I'm quite stuck. wishing i left it in the box.lol Thanks
Hi, sorry to hear you've been having trouble. Not sure what's going on with your pump. I've never come across that issue. I hope you get it sorted soon.
Looks like the price has gone up since I posted the video. It was heavily discounted at the time. Looks to be about £40 now :( But still good value for what you get. EZ are always having different sales.
I have been trying there products for a bit now and I like them most people don’t know what they are doing with the product and that’s why they get a negative feedback but if you take your time and apply the products properly you get a good outcome I love the wax and the gloss boss the a p c is good to it is just cheap and simple thanks for showing them doing a good job one thing I will say is the delivery is a little bit slow
Good to see an honest review of EZ products. I've been using them for years now and they do what they say the do. And at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately they get a lot of slagging off for being to cheap and postage times. I can honestly say I've never had a problem with order times or the products. The kits are great value and you can always add the bits missing from the weekend warrior kit.
Thanks for watching and the comments. I like to say it as I see it and I had no issues with the EZ products at all, will hopefully try out some different products in the future.
Personally I do the faces of the first then the barrel's, reason being when you do the barrel's first you pull the dirt out on the face, this could contain grit which could scratch the face when you use a wheel mit. I hope you understand my method. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for that Pete, I totally understand the logic behind that approach and I’ve often wondered if that is better. Next time I wash the car I’ll try your method.
Hi, I was using the In2Detailing trigger gun (TBH, I can't remember if it's a standard or Pro) with the quick connector extension lance. For the snow foam cannon I used an AutoGlym Polar blaster.
double up on the snow foam mixture and car wash and its a hell of a lot better also love the weekend warrior and for the money its fantastic i have used most branded products and still come back to this bargain buy set because the products are so good i would also add if you can afford it the gentlemans air freshner spray as it smells great and lasts ages and is in my opinion a great product sonax extreme detailing shine is my go to detail finish but at around 11 quid now a bottle its in all honesty too expensive compared to gloss boss which is a cracking product that is very good good video and subscribed pal
What you have demonstrated in this video, is not how good the EZ products are, but more importantly, how good your cleaning techniques are. There is so much bro' science and bs surrounding car detailing, and it is so easy for newcomers to get caught up in the hype of spending ridiculous amounts of money for chemicals, and think they 'must' use the most expensive stuff to get good results. Personally, I rate Bilt Hamber products as by far the best quality for the cost, no fancy packaging or marketing, the products sell themselves on sheer quality alone. But, as you have shown, the MOST important thing is the correct techniques and process for detailing. My choice : BH (Bilt Hamber) Auto Wheel - Not the cheapest, but by far the best. It has the best iron remover of any wheel cleaner, turning dark red much quicker than any other I have tried (and I have tried at least 20 others). It also has a very good cleaning product contained in it's formula, removing dirt, grime, and baked on dust. BH Auto Foam - This is extremely cheap especially if you buy 5 litres. It has a ph of around 13 neat, but usually around 9 to 10 when diluted, and produces thick foam which actually dissolves and eats into the dirt on paintwork lifting it off the surface allowing you to rinse it away with your jet washer. Autoglym Pure Shampoo - Cheap and effective. I use about two capfuls per 6 litre bucket, so it lasts ages, and it seems to have a good lubricant property, allowing your contact wash to not damage the paint. I use a Meguiars lambswool wash mitt, and wash my car every week, the mitt lasts a good 8-10 months before needing replacing. Halfords own brand drying towels - 2 of these will get my car completely dry. They are cheap, large, and soft, thick pile microfibre, no marring or swirling noticed using these for the past 2 years. P & S Beadmaker - This is very cheap, and not only gives the paint a slick feeling, but also a lovely gloss and decent water beading properties. It isn't as durable as a wax, but it's so cheap, and so easy to apply (a misting on each panel), I can use it after every wash without worrying about the cost, or time to apply. Autoglym Fast Glass - Cheap, and when used in very small misting amounts per window, does not streak unlike some much more expensive glass cleaners I have tried. For a really dirty car, I pre wash (before foam) using Viro-Sol, which is a very cheap, strong, industrial citrus cleaning product (floor cleaner basically). I buy this in 5 litre containers, and it can be diluted right down to 50:1 and still work, although it is so cheap I often use it at 20:1 where it's cleaning power eats through road grime easily. It amazes me how companies can charge (for example) £30 for less than 1 litre of citrus cleaner, when Viro-Sol costs under £20 for 5 litres. The same can be said for every other type of detailing chemical. Fancy packaging and product placement promotional detailing videos can fool people into paying stupid amounts of money for chemicals.
Thanks for the comment. That's one thing I've found is that for the most part, when used correctly, you can barely tell the cheaper products apart from some of the more expensive ones. Usually it's just a nicer smell, or maybe a few more suds. Like a lot of things, it's probably psychological, that if we spend more it must be better. Although there are always those cases where buying cheap is not the way to go :)
Hi, if you dilute the pre wash down to 10:1 it should have minimal impact. Used neat or at a low dilution it might it might start to remove existing waxes. If you want to remove waxes a proper decontamination shampoo would be best.
Just watched your video, I was given some of the E Z products by a man who valet cars for a living, E K J AUTOVALET. He uses these products all the time, he is so good at his profession, he is booked solid up to November. Thanks for the video, it's a thumbs up and subscribe from me.
Nice video for your RU-vid debut, hope there’s many more to come!, wee tip don’t use a drying aid with your best drying towel as it’ll become hydrophobic and useless for picking up water 💦
Good video, I've often wondered what EZ stuff is like but I've been put off by negative comments. As you say, for fhe money it seems you can't go wrong. The jewel in the crown is the ceramic wax.
Hi, as I purchase these products and then use them I’m not able to send them out. I’m also hoping to be able to do side by side comparisons of products in the future.
Thanks for showing us their products. I'm currently comparing that ceramic wax v Bilt Hamber DSW. Id like to see future updates on that and then i can tell you how mine are getting along. Thanks again
@@WeekendWarriorDetailingthat seems to be extremely quick for them, I put in a small order during a sale and it took them nine working days to even dispatch. That said, I’m pleased so far with what I have (wash mitts, buckets/grit guards, citrus and ember) but the shipping left a sour taste
@@WeekendWarriorDetailing The perpetual sale :) yeah it sounds like you caught them at a good time! I can't fault them really, they accidentally sent my order twice and told me to keep it when I phoned up to see what they wanted to do...
Thanks for the comment. I keep meaning to try waffle towels, maybe in an up coming video I’ll give them a go. The Crystowel from Microfibre does a really good job on the glass.
Hi, thanks for the comment. I was mainly using cloths from Microfibre, the wash mitt was Autoglym. For the wheels I used EZ brushes from Infinity Wax, a Halfords wash brush and a small brush that came with Autoglym custom wheel cleaner. For the door shuts the brushes were from Halfords, the soft brushes came from Infinity Wax.
I forgot the carscope tyre applicator brush, that thing is amazing. You can get them from Inifinity Wax and in2detailing, probably lots of other places. :)
Thanks for the demo. AG do decent products. No duds. And i adore Polar Seal. East to use, decent longevity, great over winter. The best bit is the smell! I get 'dad aftershave' vibes. Thanks again
Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it. I'm hoping to review the ceramic wash at some point in the future. I found using the Polar range quite easy and fast. The main issue was rinsing out the cannon bottle between the foam and the wash stage. Would be even easier if you have 2 (or 3) foam cannons, so could have it all set up before you start. That gives me an idea for a speed challenge. :) For people that just want to quickly clean the outside of the car, these make the job pretty straight forward, especially applying the sealant, means no need to use waxes.
I haven’t used any year but I am looking to start a detailing business and would like your advise and some products! Please drop your way of communication below so we can communicate privately. Great video and lovely work.
Hi, I’m not a professional detailer just a hobbyist. But if I were to do this full time I would definitely look at purchasing 5ltr bottles, so pro valet, infinity wax, Autoglym also have a professional range, get the most bang for your buck. 😊 You’d also need insurance, lots of brushes, gloves, cloths, buckets. Quite a list.
@@footballdrama.videosgreat you are starting your own business! What products you use depends on the type of detailing package you are offering. Basic / enhanced detail exterior service I use autoglym snow blast, autoglym shampoo, detail brushes small, medium, large (Halfords do dirt cheap range) x20 microfibre towels turtle wax good value for those. Tuttle wax rapid decon for wheels, tyre specific cleaner and wheel gloss enhancer gyeon products. Proper wash mitt for lower and separate for upper car. Meguires drying towel - expensive but they last and last forever - and finishing towel. Meguires ceramic spray for finish. Use a wheel brush with a tapered angle to get into the rim. So important to use a ceramic spray at the end at it gives the wow factor when you handover to the customer and it fills in minor swirls and scratches. Turtle wax glass cleaner is so cheap and works just as well as the other brand that cost 5 times more. Get a glass specific cleaning towel. Autoglym do some and meguires - they give streak free.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Value for money is a big factor in these things. The only real issue I have with the range is that the pre-wash isn't concentrated, so not designed to be diluted. Great for those looking for an off the shelf solution, but not the most economical option. All of the products hold up quite well.
Thanks for that. At some point in the future I might revisit this video and update it. So will definitely keep this in mind as a useful addition to showcase.
