Some people can't wait for the latest episodes of Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, Top Boy etc. I know how they feel.....I'm the same with the latest episode of Autocare HQ and some Heather time!! 😁😍🙏 Top job as always!! Nice technique on the door shuts.....be trying that myself! Brilliant!
Hello Caretakers. This is the best result you can get without polishing and without high level coating. The best solution for a daily driver, which will sadly face some hard work in his future. Good job.
As usual a good result achieved. I have had a few white cars in the past and never liked preparing and waxing them as I found it difficult to see where I had put the wax on but they do look good when they are finished. I have seen the Zirconite products and look forward to updates on it going forward as it is a product I may try in the future.
Fantastic job heather! Green star really is a great product. I personally use it at a 3:1 dilution for tires etc. and brake buster full strength for wheels & exhaust only. If brake buster doesn’t shift the dirt then yes I will grab something stronger usually an acid cleaner if it’s appropriate for the wheels obviously lol. Using a full strength product for tires, arches & mats is just not cost effective enough for my frugal mind lol. The best tire cleaner I have found is wise guy by shine supply 1:1 which works very good but if i already buy green star why not use it? I use it as a pre-wash, bug remover, tire & rubber cleaner & sometimes on the interior as well.
Wow! Im not a detailer, just a weekend warrior whos takin care of his new car. So satisfying to watch you work, so clean and smooth! One question i have, wich is the interval for using iron remover solution on paint? is like monthly or more? Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching! It does really depend on how much the car is driven and how it is stored. On average it's a good idea to do it every 6 months, but if the car is driven a lot and stored at the side of the road/ near a trainline then you may need to do it every 3-4 months. It also helps if the car is washed more frequently as this stops the iron fallout building up as quickly. If you wash your car weekly then you may only need to do it annually.
Another great video heather . Sorry to sound like an old fart - but too much flaffing about with the wheels. Autosmart red 7 would be been a one hit , then same product to decontaminate the whole car. Would have probably even sorted sorted the muck behind the number plate. Autosmart G101 would have sorted the door shuts + tardis for the tar spots. Well done for pointing out to use panel wipe before using a finishing product - many don't lol. You got a great finish on it - Well done, keep the videos coming
Thanks Craig :) Just used it neat here to get rid of the baked on brake dust. I've used it as low as 25:1 though and still had great results on more well maintained cars
I'm glad I watched this, thank you for the detailed instructions and product names and what they are good for. I deceided recently to wash my own car, because public pressure washers are getting super expensive. Also love the calm voiceover. Subscribed :)
Another brilliant detail Heather, I must admit I find cleaning white cars harder than most other colours, especially in bright sunlight due to the glare of the body work, looking forward to your next video
I have the same car only in silver. I am also a cleaning nerd and i can use some aspects of your video. Are you from England and if so from which area ? Kind regards from Stuttgart.
Wow, I could eat my dinner off that it’s that clean. Cracking job as always Heather, you never disappoint with these videos. Please keep them coming, I’m learning so much about detailing from you. Just wish I had a garage to do it in x
Another excellent and informative video H. Always like the different products used and the honest opinions you offer throughout. Thanks again for the video. cheers
Thank you! I much prefer taking the reg off than using my auto care hq plates over the top, there’s always loads of hidden grime! It’s annoying when the plates are stuck on rather than screwed in though and I can’t do it 😂
It leaves a lot of residue behind and is caustic so I wouldn’t personally. Using something like Garage Therapy Decon Shampoo is a better option to prep before using a wax
Great video once again, Heather. I live in quite a hard water area and I find cleaning between car logos - such as ‘Polo’ in this video - challenging as it leaves a film that is nigh on impossible to eradicate. Is there anything you recommend to get these pesky areas up to the gleam that can be achieved on the panels?
Thank you! I usually just use a water spot remover on a soft detailing brush. Carpro spotless and Garage Therapy WSR are good options if you don’t own one already 😊
That was beauuutiful! That is the way a car should be cleaned. I hate going to those slave labour East European car washes where they charge a tenner and the do such a shoddy job.
hi I'm italian, my name is Geri, and i use to be very picky with my car in washing tecnique, and I have to say is a dream see a beautiful girl like you doing a great perfect job like a love to do; where are you from? with part of uk i mean? 😍
Cleaning your car in Britain is a soul destroying practice. Imagine going to this much trouble to clean a Polo, only for it to be filthy again 3 days later…
Hi love your videos. What’s your go to way to tackle water spotting? I dry black car after wash with microfibres drying tow but still have water spots. Do you have any recommendations to prevent water spotting? I usually use qd but some times I can’t be bothered 😂
Thank you! You could try using a deionised water vessel to filter your water for the final rinse. I’ve not got one myself as the water here is pretty soft so it’s not much of an issue. I usually just use a QD afterwards to take care of any odd spots
What’s your tips for using the IK Snow gun? I’m using both Autoglym Polar stuff, but no matter how I dilute it it sits on thick like a cream. I can’t power wash atm because my machine has packed in
Greetings from the states. I forget if it was john from Forensics detail channel or Pan , who said you can add green star to your snowfoam lance with gsf to combine them. It would save you a step. Ive been using the Bilt hamber touchless lately it’s another higher ph shampoo . Jim
Thanks for watching :) Yep I sometimes combine GS and GSF and it works really well! When the car is dirtier though I find the two-step method results in better cleaning as the Green Star becomes too diluted through the foam cannon when combined
Genuinely was ignorant to how many stages there were to cleaning a car! Only just got interested as I’ve just purchased a brand new car for the first time and want to keep it immaculate for years to come… now I need to go shopping for car cleaning products 😂
Congrats on the new car! If you're looking for some recommendations, here's a link to my favourite products on my website: autocarehq.com/recommended-products/
Hi Heather, I rather like spray on rinse of products in the winter and have used Autoglym's Polar Seal via a spray bottle (crazy value), whilst not the most hydrophobic it certainly does a good job. I'm thinking of trying some Gyeon Wet Coat for a change, do you have any current favorites in this category?
Gyeon wet coat is a really good option. I've just tried High Definition Detail Bead Coat and that has very nice water behaviour but I've not tested the durability for long enough to comment on that yet. If you're looking for something foam lance-applied instead then Yum Foam+ and Squid Ink Pro Seal are my favourites
Great video. Have you tried Bilt hambers products? There auto wash is excellent and only needs a tiny drop in a bucket, something like auto wheels would have cleaned the alloys up in one hit, saves time and different products.
Thank you! Yep I’ve tried a lot of BH products. Off the top of my head I’ve used both snow foams, Auto Wash, Double Speed Wax, Cleanser Fluid and Korrosol, all great products. I’ve not used Auto Wheels though but keep meaning to buy it!
Hi Heather I hope you are well here we start with winter weather excellent video honestly opinion do you have a plan to make video about ceramic coatings application I have seen many confuse about it. Best🇨🇦
Thanks Jorge, hope you are well too. I haven't made a dedicated video on coatings but I have got these three vids where I talk through the process for different coatings: - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eumC2XX_tQ4.html - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RPXrbBBZ3Do.html - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u3kuBkadBG8.html
