Mr Harper drops another great video . I dig that you are incorporating everyday drivers along with the semi exotics you routinely detail. The owner of this car should realize that the techniques you employ add up to an unparalleled detail experience. Practices such as using a prewash before the snow foam and drying the glass first to avoid scratching the paint are indicative of your experience. I’ve learned so much from your videos👏

[@gs_mick]

Great tip about drying the glass first. Another top video!

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Very nice job!

[@Ian-ev5tg]

I have this same car, same colour. Takes very little effort to get it looking really nice. So when you do a decent job like this, it looks amazing. My profile pic is the shine I get from mine with little effort. Love the sportage

[@clewis5220]

Great video I didn’t realise you could get so much pressure out of your S & J pump sprayer!

[@Ian-ev5tg]

I thought the same. Just paid the same price as a s&j one at wilko and its broken after 1 use.nand when I say use. It sputtered for a bit

[@AM4N18]

Haven't dialled in to watch your videos in a while but had a day off today so decided to have a relax and see what you've been up to ha. I'm glad to see you filmed one where the car had a ceramic already installed, I do like seeing the flat dirty paint become nice and beady by the end, please can you do more of them? I hope one of them will include you doing another rejuvenation video (I know you did one but was a long time ago now) as it would be good to see you do another of those (along with a bit of commentary explaining what you're doing and why, I notice you don't talk as much in these newer ones). I always like bugging you with questions haha so its interesting that you now use autofoam side by side citrus, thats a new change from last I watched. Can you explain the reasoning behind that as you again follow up with autofoam but foamed this time...a pre-wash for the pre-wash!? 😵‍💫 I also watched your 812 video, bet that must've been a good day being able to work on that! I see you went with a different plan of attack with using GSF for that. I've not seen you use that before, what was the thinking behind that? Seemed you went a lot gentler with the chemicals on that car. Look forward to more uploads 👍

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks for your support 👍🏼 I use either the Autofoam or citrus interchangeably, as they both essentially do the same job. I bough GSF from my local detailing shop and it will be the last bottle I buy. I love Koch Chemie but this product is pretty useless. On the bottle it says 20ml in 1 litre for foam and whilst it does foam up, it barely cleans. Even at 100ml to 900 water it still barely cleans, even on this ceramic coated car. It’s a good shampoo in a bucket product though. The Ferrari barely needed any attention in all honesty 👍🏼

[@AM4N18]

@@HarpersCarDetailing I'm not sure if you've seen but GSF seems to be all the rage in the US right now (I think because Koch is fairly new over there) and I've never understood why as, like you've confirmed, it doesn't really clean at all. They seem obsessed with the foam but not what its actually supposed to do!? I find it bizarre the things they decide to hype up to the extreme out of nowhere lol. Seems its name is wrong and its more a shampoo than a snowfoam Have you tried GT snow V2? They brought out a new formula thats meant to be more like autofoam and better cleaning power. I know you were a fan of V1. 👍

[@jorgeaceves2068]

Good job, Nick, and nice trick of headlights, I hope the customer calls you to Paint correction or at least ceramic coatings maintenance, I have a question for you, can you recommend a good drier cloth for me? Best.

[@simond3604]

Hi Buddy Can I ask please what you charge for this? Great vid as always

[@thebatclinic3637]

Awesome work Harper banging, what brand is the wash mitt

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks 👍🏼 It’s the rag company 👍🏼

[@larry1363]

Hi Harper, with the Pearl Pro is it 2 parts Pearl to 1 part water?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

That’s it 👍🏼 Or just 1:1 for ease

[@Celticmouse]

What the verdict on the spear and Jackson pump Sprayer?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

They are very good, and reasonably priced too

[@Celticmouse]

@@HarpersCarDetailing I've got one for DIY stuff ( very good for applying enzyme based wall paper remover) but wondered if it's up to the kind of pH levels you get with detailing . If you ever need to remove wall paper Zinsser DIF is amazing

[@aaronbell8527]

How much product tk water do you use in the snow foam

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I use 200ml topped up with 800ml water

[@larry1363]

How long would it take to do the exterior and interior on this car?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

On this particular can around 90-120 mins

[@mazda_rt24-p]

why are all the normal cars in the UK diesel

[@zeeshanshaikh5239]

Hi, which pressure washer you used , please send me the product name code thanks

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hi, a Kranzle K7. Links of the products are in my description

[@benrios9643]

Is the 5% dilution equal to a 5:1 dilution?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

No, 5% would be 1:20 (product:water) So 5% of the end product is chemical 👍🏼

[@DonitaMcCarty-mn9ei]

What cleaner are you using?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

You’ll have to be more specific…

[@JanKowalski-bj7ob]

washing car half a day and the next day rain will come and leave waterspots ;d

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I assume you brush your teeth daily even though you are just going to eat the following day?

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

Is that the wife's car your cleaning
