Need to get you to clean my car, your attention to detail is immense

[@marcpacey]

More on the v40 ! Yes , she’s an old beater , but even an oldie deserves some love every now and then. Love the content!

[@AutoglymUK]

Nice one! Autoglym's KZbin admin has just had a proper fan boy moment 😆 I was waiting with nervous anticipation to see the finished results and hear your thoughts on the dynamic duo, glad they met with your approval.

[@willoverkill8461]

Nice to see the old Volvo still around from the dodgy detailing products video, needs a fresh coat of Turtle Wax hard shell!

[@Ian_S]

I know that I’m commenting on an old video but using that barrel brush is brilliant. I’m no detailing expert but I like to keep my vehicles tidy. I will be ordering myself a set of brushes as soon as I finish this vide. You have earned yourself a new subscriber! Have a good one!

[@Brownie-956]

Looking forward to the next one. Personally I like the videos without the music as it's so calming and compelling to watch but even so, I always look forward to seeing a good car cleaning guru vid 👍

[@MarkieC1990]

That vinyl and rubber care is actually really good for door/boot seals! Cheap enough to buy as well so you’re never scared of being too liberal with it.

[@shikehowson1]

I use Autosmart Finish which is very similar to Autoglym but I find it’s better applied to dry plastics

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

Sad to see the old intro being replaced, as I loved the bass tone in that... but I can surely get used to the new one, too! Short and crispy. I like it. Some channels have a way too long of an intro. This is much better.

[@2500mike]

Absolutely love these Volvos. An exterior video would be right up my alley

[@Strike86]

Definitely want to see the follow up on this V40 getting a clean! Have to agree with you about AG V&R Care, it's the perfect consistency. I find myself using it even though I have doubts about its durability just because it's so easy to use. Great tip about letting it soak in though, I'll have to try that next time I clean my bay. Great video.

[@chemistry636]

Yes it would be great to see the Volvo exterior cleaned. Great video.

[@henryrolt3747]

Great video really useful to see how you approach an older more exposed engine. One thing I noticed and I see at least one other picked up on - it's much safer to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, as you're isolating the bodywork.

[@hawkertyphoon4537]

Heeeey ! so happy that the old grey Buster is still around. Volvo for life!

[@joshuatester8197]

Definitely keen for more V40 videos. Cleaning your own cars and being a bit looser is always a nice departure from the extreme gentle care applied to paid work.

[@Mikej1592]

as always, great video, I like how you produce the videos, some music but I hardly notice its even playing till its stops and you start talking again, a really good balance between narration and subtle music and hearing the pressure washing sounds is always my favorite part.

[@danieljordannicol9937]

I prefer these video's over any other type of car!

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

Everyone loves a good scrub Joe 🤩 AG Vinyl and Rubber Care is one of my all time favourites 👌🏻😉👍🏻

[@iamdamo]

Having a good old van clean inside and out would be cool too as a change of pace

[@lovmyrx7841]

Great job. Engine bays are seriously my favorite area to clean. As a former mechanic, we sure do love detailers like ourselves vehicles, especially when it comes to repairs ;)

[@theinsideguy4076]

I've always been terrified of cleaning the engine bay!

[@johnedds2327]

We can't all have compressed air lines and hydraulic lifts. Great to see something I can do in my back lane. I always keep my engine clean and run over the exposed plastic bits with interior vinyl cleaner and protectant. Works well. Thanks for the video. Cheers-John

[@keithnewton8981]

I have used these two products for a long time now and they are very good. For the home detailing person.

[@OldSkoolBiker62]

Dirty the better and cleaning a very dirty car is right up my street. And please, please, please please bring the old intro music back I love waking up my neighbours with the heavy bass.. Thanks again for your time and effort creating great content. 👍

[@GeesDrive]

I love the AG Vinyl and Rubber cleaner, works good as a top up for faded bumpers but i've never let it soak in before. Thanks for the top tip, i'll be trying that next time!

[@molinuexking]

I’d love to see a winter road grime and rural road mud splatter on a ‘normal car (3 series, small SUV type thing) and giving that some protection

[@markrichards6171]

Your soothing voice and mesmerizing video footage are strangely relaxing and enjoyable.

[@joespittle1]

I was gonna say, we were due a bit of V40 content, nice to see it's still chugging along

[@Jnilsson27]

I have had one of these, a 2.0T, one of the best cars i ever had. Sure, it does rust and got the welder out for the rear arches and bought two new front fenders but it did never let me down.

[@parkcynical247]

I'm a car wash KZbinr, too. I enjoyed watching it today, too.

[@martin1649]

Glad to see the v40 is still around!

[@lewiskennedy5152]

Another satisfying video!! Already fed up with the winter poor weather and short days means it’s hard to get out there and keep the old gal shiney!!.. would be good to see how you would prepare a car for winter :)

[@jagaudijagaudi5925]

Your editing with the music is AMAZING!!

[@CarCleaningGuru]

It’s the only part of the vids I enjoy doing 😬

[@adriannewbold3764]

Nice one, its encouraged me to tackle my engine bay. Oh, and i like the bit at the end to throw of the eco complainers lol.

[@cg7856]

Nice vid guru

[@treemurloc871]

Very Clean!

[@thomasmitchell2964]

Great video as usual, thanks for that. I wish I had the courage to clean the engine bay of my 2020 plo gti but I am really nervous about getting water in some vital electronic component.

[@-Boppers]

Huge brush at the beginning..😄 need one.. great vid as per..👍👍

[@Thedetailfreak_uk]

I have one identical to this, a v40 sport Lux. Awesome motor, never lets me down when I need it 👌🏽

[@Dusty.Spinster]

Weird that people complain about used wash water getting into the ground. That's what you want. Unless its pure oil the ground will slowly absorb and filter the water. Rain will speed up the process. In the US most cities encourage people to divert wash water to the ground, away from storm systems.

[@Al-ol3tu]

The vinyl and rubber care spray is good stuff my wife sells vintage handbags and some are vinyl and it brings them up like new.

[@ricbaker4739]

Nothing wrong with Brick videos👍👍👍

[@Hughjass2855]

Love these videos, very satisfying. I personally do a similar process on my vehicles (even my work vans) using an APC and Carpro Perl to finish. Probably my favourite part of detailing. Always get positive comments when my vehicles go for service as a result. Never had any electrical issues after doing it either.

[@Haverfield-ji1hx]

And here goes another one! Cheers.

[@SuperVitz]

Oh I forgot you still had this! Next time clean it up before taking it in for MOT, the tester may appreciate it!

[@CarCleaningGuru]

I used to but it’s not really in my hands any more.

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

Another good video. Your the original detailer I started watching, always enjoy your content.

[@rickydfc1977]

A winter maintenance video would be good mate seeing as we are near that time of year?

[@Beer_Dad1975]

As an amateur "sponge jockey" I've used quite a lot of over the counter products over the years, I have to say the Autoglym lineup has won me over - haven't tried a single product of theirs so far that I've not been impressed with.

[@adrianphotovisions2308]

Would you not remove the plastic engine bay cover to clean underneath?

[@CarCleaningGuru]

No, serves it right for having a stupid plastic cover.

[@skylined5534]

Brilliant video as always dude! That bay came up a treat. Do love me a V40... especially T4 flavoured. The diesel is a strong performer too though! I'd love to see a detailed going over of the exterior as well. You cover some stunning cars but sometimes it's more satisfying seeing an old workhorse get the superstar treatment. I'll have to wash the bay down on the Megane mk2 estate I recently acquired for my up and coming pool business a good detailing, it's overall tidy and complete but filthy and neglected (the car, not the business!) I'll be trying the Autoglym products used here, I've been using the resin polish and body wash for years now and always rated it.

[@abdulmiah2014]

Badman is back!

[@marksherratt87]

Great video, gave me the info I needed to clean my engine. Would love to see a full detail of the volvo

[@danjordan1979]

Cracking video! Absolute pleasure to watch. Love the term "diseasel", I thought I was the only one to use it! 😂👍

[@g40will]

I’d love to see the oily bits of a crotch rocket tended to. Chain & sprockets, swing arm and the rubber chain guide. 👍🏻

[@To.Ma.To_78]

using soft water is particularly practical in such scenario. on paint, it prevents unsightly water spots but in conjunction with electricals, it also prevents shortening circuits. yes, I do speak out of experience (unfortunately, lol).

[@dirkdingle7926]

Just did this to my gti and WOW 🤩 that AG degreaser is amazing stuff had to do 2 passes like as my intake had/still had grud on it but definitely worth it

[@tonyosullivan2382]

Jesus, I taught the old V40 was well gone.Jim on the white detail channel blows the engine off directly after he applies the dressing and it looks like it works a treat but I suspect you know this already, and it wouldn't be a very long video either. Beautiful job 👌🤙

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Yeh substituting the towel for a blower after a few minutes to soak is a good call 👍

[@TFC-tj5ql]

I literally used these products on my 14 year old Ford KA last week. I was absolutely amazed by the results and ease of doing the work. I also found a black dressing on Amazon called solution finish for the grey/ black bumpers. I think it worked really well for the cost. Have you used it? What’s your thoughts?

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Yeh solution finish is great!

[@benw2292]

Did you just use a wet towel to clean things up at the end? Or was it more detailer you sprayed on it?

[@ariebakhuizen5486]

I certainly would like to see you do the exterior as well. Would be extra interesting to watch if you also tackle the small rust spots. Very much enjoyed this video, cheers.

[@matt2244]

Also a lot of the auto car care stuff is made with the environment in thought that's why most of the product's are environment friendly. But that engine did look a few year's younger after well done!

[@dragonchr1s]

Thanks for showing the initial cover up - that’s the piece I want more info on - what the components are that should be covered, what do they look like and how should one cover them! I quite like cleaning my car but haven’t a sodding clue about the components.

[@Tsigalah]

Stellar video! Please do a Porsche 911 engine bay, they look very cramped and hard to do. Perhaps a 996 or 997. Would love to see you tackle one. Cheers!

[@craigtrigg4288]

great cleaning video love see you clean the whole car next time and wheels

[@paultaylor9652]

Job well done matey.

[@davekavanagh7599]

How do you clean your brushes and whatnot between details? Do you have like a separate washing machine in the shed? I sometimes think about the matriculate matter that clings to them, causing microscratches somewhere down the line

[@sprinkle581]

He does have a separate washing machine. He has a video about it somewhere in the past.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Did a brush cleaning vid first upload this year!

[@iansinclair6879]

Nice to see the engine scrubs up well on the Volvo , I do remember when the car was cleaned a few years ago that rust blister on the wing was tiny when you see it now it’s getting bigger. Cant believe how smooth that Diesel engine runs for its age? You can balance a pound coin on it👍. Would love to see this deep cleaned mr guru🙏.

[@ro63rto]

Have you ever cleaned the engine bay of a VW T3 2.1L petrol engine camper? Would I use the same procedure as this?

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Can’t say I have but I’ve done similar on classic campers but just covered things like the dizzy cap and any exposed electrics first.

[@SDC-]

Great video and AG have some great products been using the polar range for over a year now and still happy with it

[@markcourtney7251]

Hi great video! I love the little power washer lance, which model is it? Can the hose and lance fit a Kartcher K7 or similar do you know? Fed up with the twisting green hose that comes with the unit!

[@ACDC1998Zippo]

A great fuss free engine Detail! I love seeing the old V40 every once in a while:) I personally use the Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer to dress up an engine as I always have that stuff in bulk and it gives great water reppellency to all the surfaces.

[@eppyz]

I like to use 303 😎

[@michaelloftus3576]

Great job on the ole Volvo, Joe. Would love to see a video with tips for maintaining a leased / company vehicle. A detailer's perspective on how to properly care for these vehicles without spending the same amount of money as you would on your personal car.

Hi, does the Autoglym damage any wax coating on the paintwork if there’s overspray?

best description for UK, "somewhat pleasant land"

[@phillipsharpe6459]

I always thought you were not supposed to spray water onto a engine compartment, especially all over the electrics,! 😁👍

[@EgoShredder]

Only if you want to risk f**king up sensitive electronic sensors and modules, and introduce corrosion. Fine otherwise.

[@lesleysmith5623]

Yeah, like car designers completely overlooked driving down a motorway at 70 mph in heavy rain.

[@aaronalp2639]

Most modern cars are pretty well covered with the plastics so as long as you approach it with a bit of common sense and a few bags and a roll of tape to cover any sensitive bits, you’ll be grand. Some cars don’t have undertrays so the engines are designed to withstand water. That’s my understanding of it anyway.

[@Armelmarcus]

Tip: always disconnect the negative battery terminal instead of the positive because the positive can easily touch surrounding metal and short out the electrical system of the vehicle.

[@soulshinobi]

Yeah this got me

[@skylined5534]

As long as you're careful it's OK to disconnect the positive (he was) but do agree I'd usually disconnect the negative terminal to isolate things.

[@henryrolt3747]

Came looking for this comment 👍

[@richardmurray8433]

If the battery is in my boot, like my audi a4 2008 saloon, do I still have to disconnect it?

[@beefcakeandgravy]

What would you recommend for getting rid of heavy deposits on the roof of my van? I clean it (the van) regularly but am quite lazy (and short) so the roof just usually gets a spray over and a swoosh with a soft soapy brush. I got on a ladder the other day and there's what I can only describe as lichen spots growing on it, which scrubbing doesn't remove completely and leaves brown polka-dot patterns on the white roof! I've tried an all purpose cleaner spray but I don't want to try anything particularly aggressive as I'm worried I might damage the paint! Might be a good video idea if you have a mate with a manky van as you don't seem to do much commercial vehicle cleaning (or at least don't feature them in videos), maybe an idea to expand your audience!

[@Through_The_Lens]
