Great job Heather. To save knee pain later on in life, get yourself a kneeling mat. You will definitely be thankful you used one when you get older.

Thanks John! The owner was really pleased with it 😊

[@Kopite76]

Just as an after thought. A vibrating tool to use on carpets to remove deeper ingrained sand/dirt will be better to use than the brush on a drill which works but always creates more dust. Vibrating tool with hoover going. Better finish, less work. 👍 Keep up the good work. 😊

Thanks for the tip! 😊

i was going to reply the same. i saw a vid where the detailer put an electric sander on while using the vacuum.

[@francescolasorella5068]

I really appreciate your work because unlike some of your competitors detailers you also work on "daily" cars and not necessarily on lambos, ferraris, jags .... which brings you closer to us in this beautiful world of detailing For the interior I would just suggest an air compressor which I would use in the inlets of the leather seats to get those crumbs out and for the carpeting. For the rest, really great work, both techniques and above all conscious use of the products

Absolutely fantastic job done, very professional. What kind of price range would this cost a client?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Imran! I actually just did this car for free for a friend. I normally only do exterior detailing professionally as I don't really enjoy interior cleaning 😂 However with this being quite a large estate car with a big boot and based on the time taken to do it it'd probably be in the region of £100

[@simonbradshaw3708]

Did a great job Heather on the interior, although I can understand why people let their cars get into such a condition. I've found Gyeon mild leather cleaner and ceramic coating has been quite effective on keeping my white interior in very good condition. I look forward to your next video.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Simon! I'd love to try a leather coating, I think it would be a good shout on my car. I'll keep an eye out for the Gyeon one next time I place an order :)

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

Nice video Heather. Thankfully this car had leather interior, otherwise it may have tripled your cleaning time. I’m surprised you were able to pick up all that dog hair without the aid of a Lilly brush or pumice. I’ve been meaning to try Colourlock on my leather seats. I heard it’s great stuff. Pricey though but worth it. 😊

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Jeffrey :) I was very glad about the leather seats, made my life a lot easier. I was pretty surprised the vacuum dealt with the dog hair so easily, I had a pet hair brush on hand just in case but luckily it wasn't needed

[@andy_w0ng]

hey. always enjoy your detailing videos. GREAT CONTENT. Thanks. I also have one question. I see you use this nozzle for your pressure gun where you can adjust the output pressure i believe. it looks like it can also adjust to variable degrees for the spray? could you please confirm that and where do you get one? I don't see it listed in your other detailing videos. Thank you in advance.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Andy! So in this video I just used the standard Karcher one as I was borrowing this pressure washer for the day. Usually I use the Car Scope UK ones with my Kranzle but they aren't adjustable so I have separate 25 and 40 degree one.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Jorge! Hope you're well too :) I'm not actually sure if I am honest as I filmed this a couple of months back. Off the top of my head this drill didn't have any speed settings but I had the trigger pulled about midway so it definitely wasn't on the max speed

What an amazing finish. Obviously I am aware of Garage Therapy having used most of their products apart from Ceramics to good effect. With regards Yum products I have recently watched a few try out reviews and been very impressed so I might dip my toe in the water with that brand and like wise with Koch Chemie as that Green Star product seems to get rave reviews not that I need any more APC as I think I have gallons of it.

Hi Heather, another fab video. I was hoping you might be ble to help with a common issue I keep having. When I finish a detail on my X5 - I use the Gyeon Q2M Wet coat when the car is still wet and then apply a small amount per panel and jet wash off. Whenever I come to then dry the car I have spots all over it. I'm guessing it is the Gyeon and not hard water spots and it must be down to me doing something wrong. Any ideas? Much appreciated as always :) Cheers G

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! Are you rinsing it off immediately after applying to a panel or applying to the whole car and then rinsing? Also are the panels definitely cool when you're applying it? If you're working panel by panel and the car is cool then the only other thing I can think of is that the Wet Coat just isn't really getting on with any protection underneath. It's quite rare but sometimes layering products like that can be finicky

[@gesit24]

@@AutoCareHQ Typically it is not hot, especially this time of year, but the car is Black so I guess it does attract the heat more. I spray one panel, jet wash off, then move to the next panel and repeat. My car has recently been fully Ceramic coated so not sure if that is the issue? Thanks so much for the advice and getting back to me. Cheers :)

I need to get better at interior work. Couple things. I really get sore doing all the cleaning. Seems like I'm always bending in angles trying to clean. The other is it's pretty gross. In reality it's a living space for part of a day. Decaying food, pet waste, human waste, bacteria, and even viruses. Not only gross, but unhealthy and dangerous. There's been a few times I had to say no. I'm not judging people, but some vehicles I have to say no. But some of your techniques are pretty cool. If vehicles are not trashed/hammered, I'm going to try some of them. The conical brush on drill was pretty cool. Thanks for your courage Heather!
