Absolutely loving this series. Having just had my Discovery 5 ceramic coated I have gone out and bought all new car equipment. Don't get me wrong I will still take my car to a detailer every couple months but I do enjoy washing it myself. Glad to have found your channel!! 👍
Even though I have worked alongside side you on many occasions. I've got some idea of what is involved in car valeting. I still think this idea of tutorials is brilliant. Well done David. Dad😇
Thanks for the video mate! What I usually do is spray another round of snow foam before my two bucket wash. More lubrication and also the foam acts as a guide for potential areas I might have missed. 😜
I also like the two bucket method because I don't need as much water and soap for my wash bucket. I always measure my liquid soap per directions. Depending on the soap and dilution ratios I reckon that I get at least an extra wash or two from each container of shampoo. I.e. instead of 3 gallons of water for just the wash bucket I use 1 gallon for rinse and only 2 gallons for the wash. So instead of using (for example) 2oz.of soap per gallon x3=6oz. I need only 4oz. of soap. Win-win...a more effective method of cleaning and more economical too.
Hello Dave good video mate :) I use 1 bucket with 2 grit guards in it but pressure wash 1st then foam and rinse again then contact wash. I only use rain water for the car from a 3275lt or 720 imp gallons rain water tank.
I'm scrapping the next car drying video. Don't think there is enough content to keep people engaged buts it's not all bad I can now bring out the new stuff
@@epicautomotivedetailing would love to see what content you can film for the drying video...if people don't want to watch it they can watch something else. You keep it real and entertaining and those are just a couple of reasons why many others and I watch your videos 👊
I am contemplating using a one bucket method with an empty one by its side. Don’t use a mitt or a pad, but use 10 or so plush microfibres (500 GSM or more ) and as soon as it’s say done a 1/4 of the car put it straight in empty bucket, never put it back in the water bucket, then use a fresh microfibre as so on, this will eliminate any grit touching the car 100% and save on water too
I personally use the 2 bucket method, I do a panel, flop the mitt then rinse it under some water and dunk it, I'm going to try to get 2 buckets wkth a grit guard tho
Hi Dave. Great vid as always. I am trying to import those yum products to South Africa but it's proving very costly to import. Would love to have them. If anyone on the audience members have a way to get them to S.A at a affordable fee pleaee let me know.
Grit guards are a complete waste of money IMO I’ve had a brand new car never used a grit guard and I have no swirls spider webbing a good safe wash with a bit of care great video as usual
Fair play mate yeah being care with one bucket still aint that bad i made a video way back on the one bucket method and for my own cars i use one bucket . Mind you my cars are rubbish lol
@@epicautomotivedetailing I own my own detailing business too mate and love watching your videos for great content and you do make me smile when it comes to your jokes lol
Hi Dave love all your videos especially cleaning your own smax had me laughing. Can I ask you who you get to make your printed clothing, as a small business owner myself I would like to get some with my business on Many thanks
Finally know the method! Thank you, but all I can think about is how your gloves fill like water balloons when you dunk them in the bucket. Got some soaked hands mate
Hi with regards to citrus pre wash is it safe to have a quick prewash and rinse during the week (for example) and do a full wash at weekwnd or should a full wash come after a prewash? Thanks
hi i have two questions :) 1) because i clean a few cars a day would i have to empty and refill the shampoo bucket after every car i wash or can i use the same shampoo bucket for the whole day? 2) as a pre wash we dont use shampoo foam we use TFR or traffic film remover. is TFR good to use a pre wash or shampoo foam? Thanks.
Good point provided you done a good prewash before hand I'd say it's not mega important but of you skip pre wash I'd do front first and allow longer for shampoo to dwell and break down bug splat's
I actually 100% understand that comment. In fact i have already made several videos about this. Personally it all depends on whether the car means anything to you. I don't use the 2 bucket method on my car because I simply dont care about it enough to warrant it
