Thanks as always! Just wanted to say that I prefer interior details. I find them a challenge and watching videos of someone doing it well is great inspiration. I’d like to offer a tip from the Gyeon guy, he really doesn’t like brushes near paintwork and swears by cloths instead. I’ve switched to this and it is really great. A plush Microfibre cloth is awesome around the windows etc - give it a go! I only mention this as you have a very careful manner.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching! And thanks for the suggestion I'll give that a try!

What an excellent channel! Really calm and informative, such a refreshing change from all the hyperbolic, macho noise which usually dominates the detailing videos on here. Great stuff.👍

[@johngriffiths3394]

Brilliant job Heather - the interior element was great too, really good to see the work on a 'normal' car where many interior detailing videos tend to be on barn finds or extreme cases. I'm inspired to get a steamer now!

Hi, American here. It's always interesting to see the different products that you guys get to use compared to what we have here in the States. I really would like to try that Mile Deep snow foam. I am curious what the pH is. I live in a more agricultural/rural area and I know after planting and harvest seasons the extra bite that the alkaline sided snow foams and shampoos offer makes the wash all the better and easier.

[@motheolebelo]

impressive tyre, very effective. nicely done Heather, thumbs up 👍

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks! 😊

[@peterowen4456]

That little UP always comes up well when you give it a detail. I'm a big fan of stripey mats by the way. Must have a go myself.

It’s a nice little car! I like a stripes mat too, I know a lot of people hate them though 😂

[@triggerhappyautos]

Great job Heather. Been a while since I've tuned in due to being busy with my own projects. The Valetpro shampoo looks the real deal, it's a pricey product but not one which needs to be used every wash so I will grab some of that I think. 👍👍👍

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks for watching! You've been putting out great content, really enjoy your reviews and tests. The VP Ceramic Shampoo has impressed me so far. It's ideal for maintaining protection especially as we're going into winter but I was surprised it left some really nice water behaviour behind on its own here!

Nice job Heather i love my rimmats they are great i picked them up at Waxstock

Great video Heather and a fantastic job cleaning, see your IK sprayer has had some major use this year, was thinking of treating myself to one....

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! Yep the IK sprayer has been used on every wash this year, even if it's just to pre-wash the wheels so I've certainly got my money's worth out of it

Anorher first rate result Heather 👏. The sporty UP looks tremendous......do keep the interior cleans on your channel, its a nice touch, even if its only for a minute or two of final footage...... I for one really appreciate the inside & exterior videos👌. Have a good week ahead Heather!

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks very much! I have to admit I’m finding interiors a little nicer now I’ve invested in some more equipment so I think I’ll show it a bit more on the channel. Enjoy your week too! 😊

[@grahambell9831]

@AutoCareHQ Thanks for the reply, Heather......the interior cleans will I think add to your channels content. The red UP fondly reminds me of my late grans last car, a 63 plate red auto UP 🚗......I think approx.£10,000 new back then. We kept the car as a run around and sold it as a 10 year old car, 2 months ago, full history, 32000 miles, and we received 6000 for Uma the UP 🙂 That was one very slow depreciating car! Amazing!

[@AutoCareHQ]

They really do hold their value well. Think the owner of this one has actually made about 1k on it since they bought it a few years ago with the prices of used cars surging. Not bad considering they've added about 10k miles onto it

[@grahambell9831]

​@AutoCareHQ VW Ups are an exceptional, slow depreciating car Heather, I and the owner of the car you detailed can testify to this 🙂. BTW......Great recommendation thanks on the GT shampoo, I have been very impressed, so thank you 🙂

love the content its so satisfying to watch , im going to give my golf a deep exterior clean and was wondering if you could give me some adivce ! my paintwork is quite smooth with the odd sandpaper texture here and there with light swerls i was going to intially use a clay bar but i am hesitant as i dont want to cause more light scratches ! what would you do in this situation , TIA

Awesome! Great finish! I recently tried the new Infinity Wax SiO2 shampoo and found the same, really slick and left a great glossy finish, but was surprised by the lack of suds. So it's interesting to see that it's common with these kinds of products.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! Yeah it's an issue with most of them I think! It makes it a bit less enjoyable to use but as long as it's nice and slick it's not a huge issue for me

[@DavidHalfordsLane]

Some products that caught my eye there, Heather. The Yum wheel products look excellent and cost-effective. I also like the look of the Karcher steam cleaner for those slightly grubby upholstered seats. For anyone reading this, a blower is one of the best things I’ve acquired to quickly dry the outside and those tricky areas where water marks can deposit - around lights and insignia badges etc. I use a blower designed to dry motorcycles which is excellent. They are also quite rewarding to use. Excellent post again, Heather.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Hello Ladies ❤🌹 Super Video 😊👍

[@christopherruddick88]

With the blo air dryer you may want to change the hose connection at the machine point, particularly as it gets colder if you use the warm setting regularly and at higher outputs the hose comes away from the collar leaving the metal end and hose coming at you and the car, it has no retainer like the other end. I have modified mine using the output hose end to attach to the machine with the retainer to prevent it happening again. Mine went through 3 hoses because of this issue...

[@nigelpayne4641]

Hi Heather as always great work, just like to get your thoughts on weather you should apply a citrus pre wash to the roof of a car especially in the winter months thanks

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Nigel 😊 in most cases I don’t apply citrus to the roof, just the areas that get more battered with traffic film. There’s no harm in it though if you noticed the roof looking quite dirty

Very, very nice work. I would watch both types of videos. Interior and exterior. I don't like interior work, so if I can pick up tips to make a job easier, im all for it. One issue I'm having is unclugging dirt from ceramic coated vehicles. Little frustrating. Thank you Heather.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Kim! Have you tried using an alkaline or acidic shampoo? I've found that something like Garage Therapy Decon Shampoo is great for ceramic coated cars which get battered with traffic/ film dirt frequently. Acidic shampoos like CarPro Descale are great if the coating is clogged with mineral deposits too

​@AutoCareHQ can I use Gyeon Prep to clean granite counter top in kitchen?

[@johnbrown3951]

I do like detailing a red car and I guess I am lucky my Honda and one of my sons has a Red Fiesta so I am well catered for. That one looked particularly grubby but came up really well at the end. A steam cleaner is something I have never used on my car on the interior but I guess its a good idea and certainly worked on that car. My wife never uses her pull along one as she bought a dedicated floor steam mop so I guess I could use it but I think that will be saved for a Spring interior deep clean. You used some interesting chemicals there to good effect. I have seen those rim mats as used by Paul Dolden but they are a bit steep in my opinion when I could use my trolley jack as per Sparklean Autos top tip. I got a tip from Graeme at GM Details who cleans his barrels top to bottom and noticed you use that method also. It is not something I have ever thought about but does make sense. No sense in rubbing in contaminants that may fall from the top when you do the base of the barrels. That is something I will be doing going forward. I look forward to the next one.

[@AutoCareHQ]

[@jackt883]

Another great vid. I've just had a look at your website. I like all the details and links to the various cleaning products etc. Is there any reason you don't use a stiff bristle brush attachment for the hoover on the carpets? I always find they do a really good job of agitating the dirt out of the carpet. *Edit* Ahh just seen the last bit of you using it on the matts.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! And thanks for checking out the website!

[@AutoCareHQ]

With regards to the carpet attachment I usually find I lose a little bit of power when using the brush with it being a wider attachment. Sometimes I'll use it though, but often I'll just use the crevice attachment and then give it a brush and repeat if needed

Thanks! Yep it continuously steams, you can just pour more water in without having to switch it off and let it cool like with the SC2. I’m working on a review of it but it probs won’t be up until mid-late December. I’m very happy with it though so far

Great vid, steamer actually made light work of the sanitizer. I've been using Bilt hamber Touch-on to protect between washes. How are you finding the valet pro citrus bling? Do you think its worth giving it a go over the touch-on?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! Do you mean Valet Pro Ceramic Shampoo instead of Citrus Bling? It’s a really good option, probs works out a similar price to BH Touch-On and from what I remember of using that product previously I’d say the VP Ceramic Shampoo was slightly slicker and left better water behaviour behind

[@MrFuzzBen]

@AutoCareHQ yes sorry, I meant the shampoo. The biggest problem I have with touch on is only being able to apply every 4 weeks. Can you apply the valet pro shampoo every week?

[@AutoCareHQ]

To be honest I reckon it's probably similar in that respect to Touch-On, however I don't think there'd be really any issue applying either of them more frequently really

That looks amazing I wish you would come and do my car but you probably live miles away.

Thanks for watching Sam! I'm based in the north west :)

Hi Heather, do you put any of that glass coating on the wiper blades themselves or restrict it just to the glass? Regards Ben

[@AutoCareHQ]

I don't put any on the wipers but just give them a clean with a microfiber towel and some APC (apologies I forgot to film this step!). I've not had any issues with squeaky wipers or ghosting etc. I think a lot of problems with glass coatings are usually down to the prep rather than the coating itself to be honest, or just worn wiper blades that need replacing. Using a decent glass polish before application has always done the trick for me :)

Lovely job Heather! May I know what pressure washer are you using?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks! It’s a Kranzle K10/122 TS 😊

[@nazmi3635]

@@AutoCareHQ are the gun and the foam lance that you used also the standard ones that came in the box (Kranzle)?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Nope they're aftermarket ones, I've popped links to all the equipment in the description

You must live in a bubble Heather, it's never grey or raining when you make video's unlike where I live. Great video, have you thought of getting the car higher to clean the arches/suspension more.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Haha I wish, it's been very bad weather here recently! I filmed this in September so fortunately it was still quite nice weather. To be honest I prefer to just take the wheels off if I'm going to that level on the arches, this car could do with it really, quite a bit of tar build-up in the rear aches in particular
