[@christianolsen2192]

I used to work as a detailer for 12,5 years and can't get enough of your videos. Been binge watching for a couple of weeks. Keep up the good work 👍

[@ShotInTheDark]

I’m the same with pan the organizer

[@drumsdotcom]

snap hahaha

[@markopolo9936]

A lot of effort has gone into this video, reminds me of the old 1 hour long brand comparison videos. Great work!

[@libbyotoole8760]

Your a funny guy,but you give great advice & product reviews.Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@zzhughesd]

Might be the chemicals !!!!! I only need sugar. Too much and in the car trade chat absolute xyz lol.

[@christurner3656]

Watched till the end. Your the man ! Keep up the good work . Many people greatly appreciated what you do and the Manner you do it.

[@barrygwilliam5367]

It might have taken me 2 sittings over 2 days, but I'm still alive John lol. Awesome video and as per usual, full of useful information 👍

[@norcorob4205]

I've watched this all the way through at least 6 times now, tons of quality information. Love garage tours and cant wait till you do another one.

[@kwl189]

Brilliant update to the “detailing on a budget “ video you did a few years ago John. Really does bring up the recommendations up to date. Personally I’ve found your channel and comparisons so useful in my quest on an extremely tight budget and just for the sheer love and joy of detailing a car. Nobody will ever wash or look after your car like you will and I just can’t do the standard £10 snow foam wash, inside and outside thing now. I’m hooked and I can’t wait to start supporting you monetarily after finally getting my first professional job!

[@nigelmillion8192]

Watched over two days . Love the information you give. These companies should pay you for the service you provide. Top man.

[@mikethomas8782]

Blimey, this has taken me a few days to watch, I love the fact that you hinted that we only need a few products etc, if we were all to add up the amount of products and accessories we've all got I'm pretty sure my missus would divorce me !! Like you Jon I've got many different products on the shelfs yet they all seem to have their place as and when needed. Great video, you always put a smile 😃 on my face

[@robineldridge7653]

As ever a wonderfully informative, balanced video delivered in Jon's down to earth manner which so many of us just love and never far away from a smile or a laugh at the next little quip on this marathon journey!. I stayed alive too! Please keep them coming Jon.

[@MHow-qc3ns]

Thank goodness for this channel! Most of the important how-to and why bits are left out in video car care here in the States and the information is something I really value. I like to know the how and whys of why it's done or not. Thanks, John, for being so organized and detail-minded in sharing your knowledge.

[@ForensicDetailing]

thank you sir I really appreciate the good vibes means a lot.

[@petersaint656]

Having recently set off on my detailing journey I can honestly say that your reviews and recommendations really have been invaluable to me and on the couple of occasions I’ve drifted on rash purchases, I’ve totally regretted them! Examples being the top of the range Bigboi blower and Magifoam custard!! Rapidly coming to the conclusion of sticking to all things Bilt Hamber as you just can’t go wrong!!

[@peteohead]

I’m still alive Jon, I’m still alive!!

[@RabW70]

Great video, appreciate the tour. I like to see what a man of your skills uses in their own arsenal, especially since you seem to be a man who appreciates value.

[@NeoNeko99]

Me, who’s already spent £1000s over the years: Interesting

[@readerj01]

I just love watching these videos. I have been an avid car cleaner for decades but having trawled your videos for the past month or so I've now taken the plunge into contact-less washing techniques. I have to admit I was getting brain freeze watching much of the content on KZbin, often with so much conflicting information but your vids, in general, contain so much help in terms of products, method of application and general hints and tips and its all put together in a no nonsense, clear presentation. Hopefully it has allowed a bit of information to finally stick inside my grey cells. Keep it up. You have one more dedicated follower from now on.👌

[@ForensicDetailing]

Thx jon

[@bigblackshed639]

Still alive after repeated viewings! Brilliant video as usual John. I keep coming back to see what products and kit you suggest. I’m on the precipice at the moment, one false move and I’ll be down the detailing rabbit hole. I only found your channel when looking at snow foam and whether it would help me wash my car quicker and with less effort. I’m on a slippery slope. 🙄

[@AlabamaTree]

This is one of the first videos of yours that I found and started me off on this amazing journey. It’s still a great watch 🤓 cheers Jon 👍🏽

[@no_lft_shft]

What I absolutely love about this channel is that it feels like me and his dude are just chilling in his garage bullshitting with each other. I love it.

[@ianroblin2933]

The best video you've ever done Jon.👍 I've added a couple of BH products to my basket and will be ordering today. Only thing I need now is the karcher upgraded hose and trigger. Fantastic and very informative vid. Hats off to ya. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rasmusl4940]

Ty for this. Been following for a while and your videos helps a lot. Love from Denmark

[@jurjenz]

By far the most fun, comprehensive and informative video on detailing for beginners. Loved every second and thanks for your efforts to share your experience and knowledge!

[@ForensicDetailing]

Awesome, thank you!

[@kevinforman251]

I loved this video i was introduced to products and things that I’ve never dreamed of! Keep up the great work and it never ends!!

[@SceptischePut]

This "garage tour" style of video is amazing content, watched every minute of it. The bit about the background noises starting at 24:06 absolute killed me 😂😂😂 You're a legend Jon, greetings from Belgium!

[@Inlaymanterms55]

always a joy to watch your videos! keep it up, made my day and got loads of good info in the process!

[@k.hussain360]

Great video as always John. The stuff you said about the Karcher Pressure Washers was spot on, so many people in the various detailing groups, don't seem to know much about Equipment Maintenance. Your point about Karcher not offering a short trigger gun, it's down to the fact that they offer a plug and play system and it's not economical for them to do it. They do offer a far greater range of kit for their commercial grade stuff though. Personally, I've been advocating people build a universal system when upgrading Hoses and Guns etc, so they can switch out the Pressure Washer at will, without changing Hoses and Guns later down the line. Something to note about the Guns as well is the Nozzles need to be different depending on the Pressure of the machine someone has. Great detailing setup overall though, the dosing and bulk chemical solution is awesome. Only thing you need now, is the Kranzle and a retractable hose reel lol.

[@tonyosullivan2382]

I love sitting back, feet up, listening to detailing chat, picking up some tips and having a little chuckle on a sunday morning. Fantastic video Jon 👏🤙I'm still alive 😁

[@MJMDetailingDiaries]

Just watched it through Jon. Some really great advice and tips here. I admire the effort put in to make the video......and edit it.

[@joewilson3382]

Another really informative video john watched it all the way through 👌👌

[@gary7323]

1:11:11 “get in there you spongy bastards” hahaha 🤣

[@danieldiamond7790]

Bought the Koch poloshes and compounds last weekend with a DA. I've been using them on fresh clear coat after painting up bike tanks and fairings, brlliant amount of cut and gloss, cheers for the recommendation!

[@RockBandEclipse]

Made it to the end 😂🤣😂 Another great video John, keep them coming 👍

[@dannyboy8067]

Got shelves full of products yet still watched the entire video Jon, fun video just seeing you make yourself laugh all the time. Got some tips though so thanks very much mate.

[@dillinja187]

Best line ever..."I'll grab the shotgun and boom..nah I'm joking, I'd use a rifle..nah im joking". Right tool for the right job huh Jon ?. Efficiency to the core.

[@MHow-qc3ns]

Dillinja 187: I just love this guy's sense of humor. If you're not listening carefully you can miss all the good parts. Here in the U.S. people are FINALLY catching on to the very subtle nuance of people who live across the pond. In this day and age, we all need a bit of a laugh now and then.

[@musthavechannel5262]

This product can remove organic materials like mould, ..., And blood.

[@benjisimms8907]

Always great information. Love the humor he mixes in too. Funny guy

[@ianapriliatuono]

Great update Jon thanks Getting a new m135i in a couple of months might get and try the Gyeon range on it

[@ollie9999]

You have a joyful & wonderful personality, very helpful and full of knowledge / experience. Thank you!

[@ForensicDetailing]

thanks ollie

[@justinsteel6360]

Love the detailed lance description lol. Like describing a custom machine gun 🤪😂👍

[@paddymcgrath605]

Don't throw the old cloths and mitts out John. Chuck them in mystery boxes and raffle them to followers.. recycling and repaying loyalty all in one. 😉👍

[@justindabreu976]

John, what I like is you buy all the best products value for money, you giving me. A lot of pionters

[@cArlos7whitE]

oh man, I'm afraid of your knowledg about detaling. You're just THE BEST!! thank you for your work! 😀 + i want to say that I'm still alive Jon!! , excellent ending of this movie 😄

[@stubroom3289]

Still alive Jon. Loving your work sir. 👍🏻

Thanks Mark really appreciate your support m8

[@FourJaysFour]

Still alive & with you for the entire tour! I grabbed a coffee ☕️

[@tandy9647]

Great insight in to the products you deem worthy of using on your own vehicles Jon. Really interested in a review of the Koch chemie p6 myself. Keep up the good work, I'm still alive!

[@victoryensured7137]

I really enjoyed this vid! It was amazing, and the funny aspect especially at the end killed me :) Cheers John, I'm getting addicted to detailing, help me

[@davidedwards2935]

Same as the gezza below I found you so useful thank buddy

[@Seb7535_pafc]

When it comes to lances Jon I swear by my Autofinesse Foam Cannon. It's brilliant and makes super thick foam much better than the cheaper ones you get on ebay or aliexpress.

[@iancollins2325]

Jon...still alive,not kicking though! Good job there's the euro football on as it's made the soaps on for 2hrs tonight, wife watched them while i watched you, think i came out the winner. As usual very informative and good tips.

[@01123581321341]

Incredible detail and nicely broken up. If i was just getting into detailing i’d be overwhelmed....I think you’ve been doing detailing for so long you can’t get into the mind of someone starting out and coming to it fresh....

[@ForensicDetailing]

might be information overload this video I think you are right :)

[@DavidC1]

Jon fantastic product presentation with those containers, highly desirable! 10/10

[@TacBlades]

I love this kind of content, because if my wife says i am obsessed with car cleaning, i can just say i am not even close check out this guy.

[@ForensicDetailing]

thx *gulp*

[@TommyT_]

37:20 I love that, can be very easy to become a product snob when you've used a lot of these brands but like you say if it works for you it works for you

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

Thanks for your videos! As a longtime subscriber from the US, I will list products I use on my details. I am NOT a professional detailer, so costs are VERY important to me. The first product you list is pre-wash, I use whatever car shampoo I have. For an example, I have MALCO Prizm, non ph car shampoo I use in my gun. Yes, I use a gun, not a cannon, a pressure washer, for most jobs, is not necessary. I have excellent water pressure out of my hose. The MALCO Prizm, cost about $15.00 per gallon. For most maintenance washes, I use ONR, I can wash about 600 for $20.00. For an all purpose/degreaser I use Super Clean, about $21.00 for 2.5 gallons. Remember, I live in the US, so these are my US retail costs. For strip washing, I use Purple Power Vehicle & Boat wash, with Super Clean. I believe the Purple Power is about $7.00 per gallon. I get most of my products through Amazon or Walmart, & I try to buy by the gallon and dilute when possible. For tire and wheel cleaner, I use Meguiars Wheel & Tire Brightener, I believe it cost about $25.00 per gallon & dilute about 5 to 1. For spray bottles, I buy at Walmart for about $2.95 for a wide mouth bottle. For my chemical decon. , I use Adams Iron removal. It Cost about $35.00 per gallon. For mechanic decon. , I wash with a decon wash mitt from Nano Skin for about $20.00. Mt dual action polisher is Porter-Cable DA cost $120.00. My foam pads are from Lake Country, varies in costs. For polishes, I use 3D One or Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Polish/Wax. For waxes and sealants, I may use Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax, TW Hybrid Ceramic Wax Spray or TW Seal 'N Shine. I just bought Griot's Garage 3 in 1 Ceramic Spray for about $20.00 for 22 oz. Tar removal, I use Goo Gone Pro, about $12.00 for a quart. For drying towels and or wash mitts, I use the Rag Company products. If I missed any products, please let me know?

[@kevinb7058]

Still here Jon, lovin it 👍

[@costin8942]

I just discovered you couple of days ago and I already love you!

[@ForensicDetailing]

Thx costin

[@mnmn1665]

Outstanding. Thanks again. I converted a friend of mine to your channel.

[@pensansproductions3278]

I bought some of those cheap Chinese mits a couple of years ago and they are still going strong. Use them on wheels and side skirts and jet wash them out afterwards. Cheap and disposable but amazing durability for the dirty work with harsh chemicals...so much so im still on the first of 3 I bought 😆

[@HavasiP]

Would love to see a video with tips and tricks on detailing motorcycles. Love your channel.

[@lawsongibson2081]

Superb Video yet again , Keep em coming!!! one question, does the snow foam adaptor come with the in2detailing gun??

[@tonyfoster6325]

Awesome, great advice and knowledge. Finally after clearing out all the products I have accumulated and a little investment on the basics I am now getting perfect glass like finish to by metallic black M4 competition.

[@swanny195]

I’m still alive Jon, I’m still alive!! Top notch as always Jon. Converted to BH Touchless recently, it’s brilliant and some how manages to top BH Autofoam. Also gone ‘backwards’ recently by cracking open my 12 year old tub of Collinite 915. Loved it.

[@swanny195]

Not sure if it’s due to this video but in2detailing need to sort their stock levels out - great to have links in the description but much of it is listed as sold out.

[@ForensicDetailing]

covid is causing problems for lots of distributors... most of the list seems in stock though..

[@hugomanai6452]

I’ve been following your videos for a while and what can I say? They’ve helped me tremendously with every question I had. By now I’ve started my proper detailing business following lots of your advice and things are going very well! Thank you Forensic :)

[@cussinirishdesigns3977]

I love your videos!! I am in the US in New Mexico right next to Texas. I just realized I need a bigger garage lol. I have bought quiet a few of your recommended products. Thank you so much for the reviews you do !!i just got the griot g9 and going to learn how to use that and next will be a smaller be for detail. I have two jeeps but so far on day two of washing and detailing. I was doing it wrong all my life. I always use dawn dish soap and a rag hahaha next on my list to do I organize like you. Love how everything is separated in totes.

[@ForensicDetailing]

nice warm weather in new mexico :) greetings from UK and thank you so much for watching.

[@cussinirishdesigns3977]

@@ForensicDetailing yes definitely!! I got the fusso wax and it was drying to fast so I was getting a powder so I had to take my finger and agitate it some but two and a half days to fully detail it. Now hopefully it rains.

Very helpful. If you were going to do this as a business you’d want as few products as possible for cost efficiency and replication of washes. If detailing your own car there’s more room to swap stuff about.

[@giant6739]

Great info 👍

[@callum1995ful]

John, watched this twice across a week due to how thorough and detailed it is… excuse the pun!! Most of the product links are in2detailing, is this because they sell it cheaper than other suppliers? Also, if you didn’t have a garage, would you use a pop-up gazebo, is so, which one and could you do some reviews if possible please? The proportioners I’m waiting to come back in stock. The Flex VC21 was this an in2detailing purchase or would you have a link please.

Hi John how do you recommend I maintenance wash preferably weekly to remove light dust and contaminants while not removing existing products like sealants and waxes to maintain the hydrophobic properties and shine?

[@jurre9892]

Two years after your upload, but hey I'm still alive John, I'm still alive 😅 Have never cleaned our car and it's mirred and scratched up all over. I don't really care about cars, but I'm really looking forward to making it kinda nice again and maintain that. Haven't bought a thing yet but plan now is to go for bilt hamber for cleaners and clay. G3 pro, H2Go (all thanks to your reviews and tests), autoglym paint renovator and autoglym super raisin. Want to get the autoglym deepshine also, but maybe later as I can't use that on my father's car. That one got keyed up while parked in front of our house and I'm feeling bad about it for years. But now I'm seeing that a lot can be done. And yes I don't expect miracles from all this handwork (plus foam/ pressure washer), but neither is he or my wife :) Maybe you'll never see this, but thank you anyway. You are making new information about a world never seen before entertaining, very informative (great tests) and doable. All the best to you!

[@paulcarpenter4215]

Nice video Jon. Gave me some relief from my tinnitus but too interesting to send me to sleep?

[@DavidC1]

Jon put your full heavy containers on the side and it wont bend in the center of the shelf as much.

[@tredfxman]

For your information i get 3 months durability out of Bilt Hambers Finis Wax. But that is when car has been full step prepared then polished, seal protected with Angelwax Ti22 (titan seal protection specifically made for waxing on top) then used Bilt Hamber Cleansing Fluid (better version of IPA for durability) to prepare the paint on entire car, before finally putting Bilt Hamber Finis Wax all over car. The shine level igot after that is out of this world... Never seen more of a mirror like paint! 👍
