Back To The 90s! Detailing a 1990 Vauxhall Nova Saloon

[@therushden]

You don't get any more 90s than three spoke alloys. Another great job Matt 👏

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thanks 👍

[@antgerada]

Memories. My dad had one of these 😀

[@isctony]

That is a gorgeous colour

[@TheDetailingSpace]

It is indeed 👍

[@stephenmuir5108]

Probably like many.... passed my driving test in a Nova. Did the job back in the day 👍🏼

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Nice one 👍

[@paulcrawford5437]

The Nova was a brilliant car miss my old one so much pristine white and I was out every sunday hand washing it.

My 1st car was a red 3dr nova. The most unluckiest car I ever had. It got a few knocks, not all my fault but some where. On the plus side, it kept my uncle in business fixing it lol. Those plates are class looking, might get one for the garage.

Hi Mat, awesome video on this detailed Nova,it looks alot cleaner,paint work is brighter,don't see many four door of these,my classic car is the Mini,I owned two of them the second one was kept very clean Mini 30.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thanks 👍

[@iansmithy7842]

First car was the hatch back same colour did the same redtop conversation was really easy, digi dash loverly! An amazing time to be driving hatch backs Had so many of these all rusted to death or the front member snapped. Mk2 cavi Sri 130 another great car salon was nicer to drive than the hatch back Mk1 Astra 16v gte as low as you could get it on spax shocks sparks everywhere

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Nice. Sounds like you've had some fun 👍

[@iansmithy7842]

Detailing World yes then you have to grow up! Before you know it your nearly 40 and looking at the same cars as when you were 17! Instead of mother telling me I can’t park another one on the drive it’s the wife!

[@Ian-ky6hm]

I love the Nova. Passed my driving test in one back in 1994.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

1994! Ah, to be 10 again

[@bigpete2378]

That’s it, that’s the Nova, the car that’s taking over!!!.......as the advert used to say😁

[@TheDetailingSpace]

🤣 I was 6 when this car was out. I have no idea what advert you're talking about 😂

[@bigpete2378]

Had a white GTE back in the day red top

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Nice 👍

[@daveroberts703]

That brings back memories..😍 great video Mat. 👍

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@davedave9194]

You didn't even need to hot wire hese cars,just pull out the hazard switch from it's housing,turn it upside down and insert it back in and then pull it out till it clicks and voila!

[@TheDetailingSpace]

🤣

[@DavidJohnston58]

Good detail 👍 had three Novas, a red 1.2L a silver Pearl Saloon and a white SR back in 90s, (well, wife did) detail kit then was: roll of stockinette, bottle tcut, bottle Turtle Wax or simonize with Holt's Tyre wall black ( messy stuff) and son of a gun 😂 How things have changed! My garage is like a detail shop. But I have just detailed the Seat in 40 mins , that would have taken a full Saturday back in the day. 😱 Stag top classic.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@rj57and]

Great vid mat. Worth silly money now these. I had the chance to buy a whiteGSi about 15 years ago for £300 ..... It still sickens me I didnt and bought a saxo instead 🙈. If only we knew then what we do now!

[@mrlionrocks]

I had a j plate sapphire cosworth 4x4 and sold it for £4300 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TheDetailingSpace]

👍

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Haha.... Hindsight hey

[@iansmithy7842]

I scrapped at least 3 just because they were in the way! The money doesn’t bother me that much I just miss the 90s fun cars

[@ponderer23]

Great job !!

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thank you!

[@stjarnagloss]

Love this! Thank you. A classic car choice from us would have to be a Saab 96. Much earlier than the 90’s though

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Glad you liked it!

[@darrenbuckley7000]

Great video and great car. A classic ford would be great.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

[@dave2166]

Had 2 nova SR's in the late 80s... Honest little cars with lovely revvy engines for the time....

[@TheDetailingSpace]

👍

[@hideouslyugly]

Lovely blue. I had a hatchback Nova in 1987. It was mint, until a drunk driver hit it head on one morning and wrote it off. It was "Mocca brown," or poo brown as my mum said. Apart from door rust on your one, it was in nice condition.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Definitely nice condition considering the age.

[@philipdemarco9222]

Mate, i don't know what's going on as the last two video's you have done now, you haven't been chasing your tail 🤣🤣. Excellent video as always and i think this is the best flowing one so far? I'm not into cars but just like detailing them so one that stands out from years gone by is the Ford Capri. Stay safe mate and everyone 🌈

[@TheDetailingSpace]

😁

[@greezoid56]

Hi mate good channel , im into detailing and have plenty of time on my hands at the mo. That Nova was in great shape prior to the detail. I haven't actually seen one in many years and to be honest I never really rated them back then. Keep up the good vids

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thanks 👍

[@gamerforcod]

It’s got to be the Aston Martin DB5, after watching Pierce Brosnan In GoldenEye race the Ferrari F355, when I was growing up that scene was immense 👌🏼

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Nice choice 👍

[@stevensymcox9445]

Amazing nova looking good after a polish really enjoyed the classic cars you've done let's have some more maybe a 5 GT turbo or RS turbo etc

[@TheDetailingSpace]

haha, danger of becoming "classic detailing world" lol

[@scottgibson6201]

Best car yet m8! 👌🏻

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Dunno about that 🤣 Glad you liked it though 👍

[@p2k07]

Hi Mat, Gotta say I love your editing style and content, keep it up 👍 It came up well, nice before and after line when polishing. Was that a dodo juice mint merkin at 6:54? I picked one up after the "Back To Basics" series 👍 Ah, your cousin drops a new engine in it but has dust caps missing, tell him to sort it out 😜😊😂 Shhhh, no links in the top right hand corner at 9:41 and 10:54, do it quick before anyone notices 😜

[@TheDetailingSpace]

haha, thanks.... I really need to go back through the videos and add the bloody links in LOL.... And yes, that's a Mint Merkin. Always had one in my drawers for the last 10 years or so

[@mrlionrocks]

Had a nice black nova gsi back in the day... Turtlewax shampoo with Sponge then srp... Sorted 🤦🏻‍♂️ Get a escort cosworth on the channel 🤞🏻

[@TheDetailingSpace]

I'll try 👍

[@jackhutchison7308]

Lovely old nova that. Old MK1 and MK2 VW Golf GTI are a favourite of mine but I'm very biased to VW 😂

[@TheDetailingSpace]

I do like the VW Group of cars, always had a Seat until the Nissan

6:06 I didn't know you had an identical twin! 🙈

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Oh yes, I have two identical twins in fact 🤣 The other was walking the dog 😂

[@AndyK.1]

Should have put a c20Let in it. 200bhp

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Maybe that's what it was.... I have no idea 🤣 (probably should have popped the bonnet)

[@rorymurphy8275]

Did you get a new pressure washer recently by any chance Mat :o) Another great video cheers

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Haha, yes I did 😎

[@johnpaton9578]

Great video as always my classic car would be mk1 escort just a question the soft detail brushes where can you get them from as been trying to find out where to get them

[@TheDetailingSpace]

I have a selection. Work Stuff make some nice one, what I'd call the "traditional" type of detailing brush. JPN26 and Detailed Factory make those uber soft ones like you'd expect the Mrs to apply makeup with 😂

[@Snaponman]

Could you do a video on caring for carbon fibre please?

[@TheDetailingSpace]

I'll see what I can do 👍
