Detailing 101 with Bowdens Own & LOL KIA

[@arthurgalanopoulos8573]

One of the best step by step detailing videos with Bowden's Own products online - well done mate!👍

[@BowdensOwn]

Nice work there Ben! I have no doubt the mighty Kia will be getting a lot of extra love with the current isolation laws there! Take care and be safe mate.

[@LOLKIA]

Thanks guys! Take care. I have placed my order for the G Banger mask!! Cant wait for it to arrive :D lol

[@josephgrillo2747]

@@LOLKIA Indeed a great video, I was surprised and a tad disappointed when you used the foam second time around, it wasn't at all foamy nor did it stay on the car long....? Very thin and runny was falling off the car as soon as it was applied...?

[@Charlie-bt6vf]

@@josephgrillo2747 It was bowdens own happy ending so it is a snow foam that adds protection. It doesn’t foam all that much because it works different chemically.

[@timorcher5417]

Great video bud. Been using bowdens own on my GT Rspec for couple of years but admittedly never used the happy ending product. I'm sold!! All the best!!

[@julianalderson3938]

Used a few different ones. This one was the best. Dosent last forever but doesent take long to do a coat when needed. N comes up mint again. Thanx

[@CLIKCAAK]

Mate, great video. Good to see you took time to explain the why for each step. I have the same car BTW, with ceramic coating. One thing you didn't mention is dividing the car in thirds from top to bottom when hand washing. I use the same mitt for the top two thirds and a separate mitt for the lowest (dirtiest) third. To reduce marring etc. I too find the Bowden's product fantastic for the price.. I am in Aus..

[@LOLKIA]

Thanks :D Love the car and colour aye!! That is true you can use two mitts if you want to. Glad you love the product. Hope you guys are keeping safe with Covid 19!

[@CLIKCAAK]

@@LOLKIA that it is mate, I have the red nappa leather as well. So want some gloss black rims. Assume you lowered yours? What springs did you use?

[@LOLKIA]

@@CLIKCAAK I wish we got the red leather option in NZ!! I used ARK lowering springs. They are lower on the rear then the front which I dont like. I would recommend the Storm lowering springs!

[@cismay1270]

I learned surprisingly a lot about detailing through this video and I’ll be able to improve on a fair amount on my own car when cleaning it. Thanks and good job on the video👍🏻

[@LOLKIA]

Glad it was helpful! Send me some photos of your car when you are detailing it :)

[@adrianedhouse5175]

Watched this when you first put it out. Just watched it again and still a great view. Thanks

[@LOLKIA]

Thanks for the support!! 🤙🏼

[@natoward5285]

Brilliant vid mate, I spend like 2 hours at supercheap staring at the product line wonder wtf to use. 100% sure now and my supra looks insane. Thanks!

[@LOLKIA]

No drama! Thanks for the watch 🤙🏼

[@johndoherty2864]

Best detailing video I have seen. Well done.

[@LOLKIA]

Thank you!!

[@brucekellett2269]

Great collection of Aussie car care products and how to use them. Man they are low profile tyres on your car. Obviously you don't live in country Victoria . The heavy vehicles and traffic have destroyed the roads. Destroying my WRX. I guess I just keep on trying to care for my vehicles with products like Bowdens. Safe motoring.

[@aarongorman2946]

I’ve brought the foaming cannon also but it can’t attach to the K4 Karcher is there a trick to get it on for the first time

[@LOLKIA]

You need to use the Karcher adapter provided in the box

[@Cotterpin_Doozer]

@@LOLKIA Also the old "Karcher' adapter made by Bowdens had overly chunky locking clips so it wouldn't lock into the karcher hose gun on my K3, but they have instructions on how to file it down to size or if you're lazy like me they might still send you one for free.

[@Outlawzand1]

Such a fantastic detailing video. Real in depth information and you show real passion bro 👍

[@LOLKIA]

Outlawzand1 Thanks mate 🤙🏼

[@r0rtn1nc4L1FE]

Great video!! May I ask what size garden hose are you using on your pressure washer? 12mm or 18mm? Thanks

[@LOLKIA]

18m 🤙🏼

[@kenwebb5780]

hi mate and yes love the video im 73 and i detail cars to keep me going, Bowdens have some great products and are Australian i tend to buy them when they are on special. i was a bit surprised to see you use an ego blower they as they are not Australian.just saying.any way great video also yes do an interior one please as well good job cheers.

[@uljanacharapanovskaia797]

Hi what PSI is your Karcher? I have a k4 Karcher 2100 PSI and it didnt foam up like yours. Really disappointed.

[@marklawson9517]

Good video - how have you found Boss Gloss v After Glow? I alternate Fully Slick and Lazy Wax. Wouldn’t wear watch or jewellery detailing such a nice car. Thx

[@LOLKIA]

I really like Boss Gloss but I always use After Glow. 100% do not wear jewellery or a watch while detailing!

[@josephgrillo2747]

@LOL KIA Indeed a great video, I was surprised and a tad disappointed when you used the foam second time around, it wasn't at all foamy nor did it stay on the car long....? Very thin and runny was falling off the car as soon as it was applied...?

[@LOLKIA]

The second foam was a hydrophobic sacrificial sealant. It’s not supposed to be thick it’s supposed to be watery and you’re only supposed to have it on the vehicle for 10 seconds then waterblast it off and it creates a hydrophobic layer of protection. Two completely different foams with two different purposes 🤙🏼

[@marcusbarnes5929]

How long does the hydrophobic properties last with the happy ending spray on coating?

[@LOLKIA]

I have had it last up to 6 months

[@jacobburgin826]

Please do an interior detail video!

[@ianhunger9629]

Great vid. Is that an anti twist hose on your Karcher and if so where did one get hold of such a thing?

[@LOLKIA]

It comes with the water blaster 🤙🏼

[@Dave-gg6vl]

So I have the same EGO blower as you but have never thought to remove the long nozzle off it! Will def try it next time. Btw what springs you on? U have RWD Stinger?

[@LOLKIA]

Dave H It’s so much easier with the nozzle off. Your arm doesn’t get saw trying to hold it up lol. RWD correct. ARC springs but recommend Storm springs!

[@AV8R767]

Well done! Did you think about adding a layer of BOSSGLOSS to bring out the shine more?

[@LOLKIA]

I usually use After Glow :D

[@AV8R767]

LOL KIA even better!

[@coolmanu55]

hi bro, why do we need nanolicious wash when u have done a snow job wash, do we still need it - if the car is not so dirty ? please advise. 2nd question is do u recommend wetdreams or happy ending ?

[@LOLKIA]

@@coolmanu55 it all depends on how dirty the car is and your standard. Snow job is not a “shampoo” so you should always apply it first, let it sit, wash it off then hand wash with your choice of wash. Wet dreams for wheels, happy ending for body.

[@yusufgetsit]

Super helpful video, you def deserve more subs

[@LOLKIA]

Thanks man! Spread the word 😂

[@Ryan-gv9ec]

Great Video Mate, did super well with the edit also

Well done on a very informative video learned a lot ! Great music well aye , what was playing at @16:15 Thankyou

[@ndnash19]

hey, nice video - where do you get the BO products in NZ, the buckets in particular? Postage to NZ from Oz is crazy.

[@LOLKIA]

Repco

[@jaywimalaratna4951]

Can you do the shampoo with the snow foam gun? If no, why? new to detailing TIA

[@LOLKIA]

There are different formulas that work and react differently to paint and dwell time. I’d recommend sticking to a pre wash snow foam then a shampoo in a bucket as instructed

[@bravinpatel7340]

Just a query, do you have wax the car or not because it gets done by the product.?

[@LOLKIA]

No wax at all! The results are just from Bowdens Own products :)

[@adrianedhouse5175]

I take it you cannot place a link directly to the Bowdens Own website from here?

Hey mate! Great vid. Is that an original BowdensOwn detailing trolley? If so where did you get it? Keep up the cool vids cuz.

[@AKStingerGT185]

How did you get your windshield wipers like that? I can't lift mine like that.

[@LOLKIA]

Turn the car on. Turn the car off. Then hold the wiper indicator up for three seconds. 😁

[@AKStingerGT185]

Awesoem! Thank you so much!

Great video, I've been looking for a one stop company for car care products! Great demo of one! One question, how long would you say an average clean like that takes you?

[@LOLKIA]

Felix Thanks!! I was looking for ages also to find a one stop shop. A clean usually takes me two hours but I am OCD as!

[@felixxr6turbo]

@@LOLKIA Awesome, I think that's a good investment of time. I have two cars that haven't had much love and we're moving from rural (dirt roads, large property, cars kept in carport or outside etc) to the suburbs (sealed roads, garage). I want to learn how to wash and care for these two cars a bit before we trade them in on a nice new fun car once we've moved (I was looking at a Kia at one point!). I need to find a video now on how to kick start that process on these poor vehicles!

Felix fair enough! It’s not that hard when you have the right products! You should look into the Stinger! Great car 🤙🏼

[@d.j.z.j]

Mean bro, is that your normal routine how do you find nano wash- afterglow as a 2 step process, i find afterglow durability is pretty good however i don't use the happy ending . Do you use wet dreams for anything else or just wheels.

[@d.j.z.j]

Also what brand of trolley from burnings is it

[@LOLKIA]

Zac Jefcoate Yea that’s my weekly detailing routine. I use after glow after once the car is dry to seal the happy ending in. You need to use happy ending mate! You won’t need to clean it as often and it ads gloss and a layer of protection. I only use wet dreams for the wheels 🤙🏼

[@d.j.z.j]

Sweet, I guess I will have to buy a good spray gun then, bunnungs have a karcher k4 1800 psi for 199 might get that .so you feel happy endings better sealant than after glow?

[@LOLKIA]

Zac Jefcoate The K4 is a good water blaster! Yep 100% happy ending will protect your car better but you can and should still put after glow ontop of it! You will be amazed by the combos results!

Great Video mate and awesome car!! 2 questions... how many Kms does the stinger have? And can you use happy ending and then dry the car with after glow? Will it act as 2 layers of protectant? Keep up the great work

[@LOLKIA]

Thanks mate!! What do you mean by KMS? 100% you can use Afterglow after Happy Ending. It will help add another layer of protection and gloss! Cheers.
