I've got some catching up to do with these videos. Always nice to see a clean 488, Well done mate!

[@JoeHuntley]

Hahah thanks bro. Hopefully they get better as you catch up!

[@in4chandru]

Thank you for the video! It's fantastic to see that you're sticking with the original Kranzle wand - the perfect choice for detailing. Please resist the temptation to switch to an aftermarket one. Kranzle OE's are truly the best! Happy detailing!

[@JoeHuntley]

Thank you!!

Joe is back !!!!

[@JoeHuntley]

Woop Woop 😁

[@Fadrian93]

Did this one so well 👌🏻🔥 Just picked up my first 488 yesterday, will def update my cleaning routine and follow yours. Another question. How would be the best way to get rid of all small stones & gravel that the tiers pick up? The ones that gets in and under the cars body- I can see the gravel when I watch trough my wheels in the back. What’s your thoughts, any tips and tricks? 😃 cheers

[@memphismaverick100]

Agree regarding waxes we use a ton of ceramics but it feels so nice to change it up with waxes…just old school Cool. Nothing like them 👍

[@JoeHuntley]

You nailed it!

[@tonyosullivan2382]

Lovely job, beautiful car. The wax mad a noticeable difference 👌 That fella has a nice little garage, with the 488 sitting next to the Bentley. Lovely pair🤙

[@JoeHuntley]

Thanks Tony!

[@able2ex]

[@JoeHuntley]

Thank you

[@thefeaturesclub]

Quality content as always Joey. We live for detailing clean cars 😂

[@JoeHuntley]

Absolutely!!!

[@terryblackmore7933]

nice one Joe, whats the other car in garage covered up ?????

[@JoeHuntley]

That would be a Bentley from a previous video my friend

[@simonhesbrook1761]

Great video, such a lot of effort into the production and details in the drop down - OMG the price of that Swissvax Mystery !! Is it really worth that much ??

[@JoeHuntley]

Hahaha yes it is a touch pricey isn't it! For a company to buy, yes. It's a good asset to sell to a customer. As a weekend warrior probably not! My favourite Swissvax is Onyx!

[@allymacmillan7986]

Great to see you back Joe. Great tips and must admit I didn’t always use use a QD when drying, having a coated car I maybe got away with it.

[@JoeHuntley]

Hey Ally, Glad you could pick something up from the vid. A little QD can go a long way!

[@BarryCoombs1]

I picked up the drying with a QD tip from one of Pan The Organiser’s washing a car videos. Works a treat! Buy whichever QD you like in 5L quantities to bring the cost of use down to a few pence per use. I use GTechniq’s as it’s so easy to use on a dry panel too. Good to see you back Joe and that leather cleaner looked good. 👍🏾👌🏾

[@JoeHuntley]

@@BarryCoombs1 I'm just moving onto the Gtechniq one now! Good product! Thanks Barry

[@BarryCoombs1]

@@JoeHuntley Big fan of their C2 Ceramic Sealant for the same reason. So easy to apply. Doesn’t last 6 months or whatever they claim but not worried because I wash the car every other week and it takes seconds to apply after or even on a wet panel.

[@JoeHuntley]

@@BarryCoombs1 Yes! Do love C2, sometimes a little expensive to buy in 5L!

[@rajpatel3513]

Hi Joe, Excellent work! Could I ask which detail spray you use when drying the car and I struggle with water marks on my Mythos Black Audi R8 paintwork, any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks Raj

[@JoeHuntley]

Hey Raj For the longest time I used Auto Finesse Finale. Recently been using Gtechniq QD which I think will be my new go to. I have heard Kock Chemise FSE is great for water spots but is aggressive. Hope this helps. Joe

[@rajpatel3513]

@@JoeHuntley that's perfect Joe

[@Tobi-xg3oq]

awesome job, one question. The paint of this ferrari its soft or hard to the touch?

[@JoeHuntley]

Soft because of the PPF my friend

[@davidboyce6427]

My STJARNAGLOSS Four Norsemen Kit arrived today fro UPS shipping 👍

[@JoeHuntley]

Love it!

[@mrlionrocks]

Nice work,not a fan of gummi,try turtle wax graphene tyre dressing 👍

[@JoeHuntley]

Thanks for taking the time to watch

[@terryblackmore7933]

MY SWIZOL JOE !!! it was a MYSTERY ! where it went hehe !!!!!!!!!

[@JoeHuntley]

Hahahah dream on bro!

[@davidboyce6427]

Because of Rahm is why I bought GEIST👍

[@JoeHuntley]

Me to!!

[@JorrC86]

Why would you use the washmitt at the side arches under the car, and after that, higher on the car. Also the same issue and order with the drying towel. And while doing so talking about preventing scratching a car... The bottom part you would do at last because that's the dirtiest.

[@JoeHuntley]

Because of how well this car is protected and how well it rinses off. The car is not dirty by the time a wash pad touches the paint work. On a dirtier vehicle my technique adjusts. Cleaning cars is not a cookie cutter process. Every car I care for has a different routine. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video. Joe
