Exterior Deep Clean | Dirty Skoda Octavia Detailing

[@RomanticTuna]

This is the best detailing channel on KZbin by far.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@efrankphd]

Wow, who really gives a shit?

[@johnbrown3951]

A very tidy motor when it is all cleaned up and those wheels really came up well. Huge satisfaction on your part on conclusion of the detail. I spent eight hours on a mates wife's car at the weekend that had barely seen shampoo since it was purchased and he said it looked better than when they bought it so huge satisfaction for me. I am setting off to London on Thursday and my kit will be onboard to give my sisters cars the full treatment while I dog sit while they holiday abroad.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much John :) That's very kind of you, it'll be nice for her to come back to a fresh car!

Long time viewer! One thing I wanted to pick up is that the temperature isn't necessarily an issue, it's the direcct sunlight. It can be relatively cold but direct sunlight can still be an issue. It's why sunscreen is often worn by skiers....

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching! I probably should've been a bit more clear, I'm more concerned with the actual panel temps. As long as I'm able to keep the paintwork cool I'm happy :)

[@MrMjohns]

Excellent job Heather, also using the Parla sealant and had nearly 5 months out of my last application, probably one of the best sealants I have used to date

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! I mainly work as a freelance web designer so I don't get as much time for detailing as I'd like unfortunately so it's usually only a car a week atm

[@chrisogrady1697]

Brilliant Heather. My own car is white and have to say you just cant beat Parla on a white car. I use glatt every 2nd or 3rd wash and it tops it up nicely too👍🏽👏🏼

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Chris! That's a great combo, and you're right Parla on a white car leaves a really nice finish

[@rubenvalladares3]

The work you detailers do its admirable. Not anyone do the same because all the effort it requires and time of course that's one of the many reasons I value your hardwork. PD: I love Skodas (well I love all cars) that's the true in fact 😂. I think is because it's a good daily option as a car.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@DDUTCH-g6r]

I like your effort!

[@Pedders529]

I am really late to your channel sorry, but certainly picked up alot of helpful info. My car is ceramic coated so cleaning is reasonably easy and I went K2 and Amazon cheap short trigger and hoze route. The joint now leak a year later and the kinking is a right pain. I have used you links and discount code to update my hardware and the cleaning materials in an attempt to keep ontop of the shine and protection we are all seekign to achieve.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much for watching :) I hope you find the new purchases useful!

Nice work on the Octavia Heather, the HDD range of products really is unbeatable for the price. I tend to get them in 5ltrs and they last an age.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Mark :) Agreed, really good value for money and performance

[@Quint1975]

Great vid, I like the look of the gummy tyre dressing if it's easy to apply and has the desired performance then that ticks the box for me.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! Yeah you can't go wrong with it, it's not ridiculously durable (pretty average from my experience) but the ease of application and the finish is spot on

[@JamesBartlett-n6e]

Parla left a lovely finish,tyre dressing too.👍 As it was quite sunny with hot panels recently i used ONR ,followed by Yum detailer and i gotta say it was a great combo. ONR is awesome in summer IMHO

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching :) Yeah ONR is a really cool product!

Heather absolutely awesome job Heather can you advise me please am using a 5ltr pump sprayer to apply pre wash and have just waxed car what sort of dilution ratio for a 5lt of pre wash so i dont strip any of the wax of

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching! It does depend quite a bit on the pre-wash you're using to be honest. Have you settled on a product?

[@paul-fk7de]

@AutoCareHQ hi Heather thank you for replying am using valet pro pre wash

[@AutoCareHQ]

Their citrus pre-wash isn't ridiculously strong to be honest so I would go with a 1:7 for general maintenance, and you could probably go up to 1:4 if it's really dirty

[@paul-fk7de]

[@davidcoorey8864]

Hey Heather. Just started watching the channel and love it! Quick question - just bought the Kranzle 10/122 TS after seeing your review. What pressure do you apply to car washing to avoid damaging the paint?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! I have mine just below max, but it sits at around 120 bar pressure. I've never had any issues with damage but I don't hold the nozzle too close to the vehicle

[@michaelc6044]

Great video as always! And fantastic result! How do you keep your passion for detailing? I've kind of lost my passion for it lately, I don't know if it is because of the rubbish summer weather we have had or if I'am just generally losing interest in detailing. I only look after mine and a couple of family members cars but it feels like more of a chore lately whereas before I would enjoy it and look forward to trying new products etc

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! I totally get that, sometimes it can feel more of a chore. The main thing for me is trying new products to be honest, just helps to keep things a bit more interesting when I find something new that I really enjoy using

[@diegosolano3570]

Just discovered this channel and learning so much from you, I have a question that probably no one has ever asked, do I really need to fill the bucket with soapy solution to the brim? I feel like I barely use half of that soapy water , which feels like a waste when I finish, or am I doing something wrong by not doing multiple passes during the contact wash? Thanks

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching! The main reason to have more water in the bucket is to help dilute the amount of contaminants in there so there’s less chance of picking them up on the wash mitt. It’s really more important with the rinse bucket though so if you’re not using as much shampoo solution I don’t see any real issue with using less

Don't you have a grit guard in your rinse bucket to rub the wash mitt on 🤔 seems the dirt is still in the wash mitt just dunking it and rinsing it out 🤔

[@AutoCareHQ]

I don't collect any visible dirt on the mitt tbf. If there's anything really collected underneath the grit guard during the wash stage then there's something going wrong during the pre-wash. I personally just use grit guards for precaution

If I'm getting my brand new car ceramic coated in two weeks, what can I do, If anything, to clean it whilst I wait?

Congrats on the new car! You can just clean it as normal using a regular pre-wash and pure shampoo. I wouldn't apply anything heavy duty protection-wise though beforehand

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

@@AutoCareHQ put shampoo you mean no wax’s or anything like that? I’m in a couple detailing Facebook groups and so many different opinions I need a trusted opinion

[@AutoCareHQ]

Yeah I wouldn't put a wax on it personally if it was getting coated in a couple of weeks. It won't really do any harm but will just clog up the polishing pad a bit during the prep. I'd just use something light like a quick detailer spray
