Really enjoyed this one mate , loved the tour to ! To touch on your point about doing a full clean for maintenance money ...I did my brother in law's juke on Saturday ..he's an Uber delivery driver ..car was a pig , I spent over 4 hrs on it ! I finished in the dark with no idea how well I did the exterior wash and the interior was by no means perfect . Was my first time realising A.. customer expectations /job I could deliver and B ....taking on a job without seeing it first ... I earned £50 and I'm still pissed off with myself at the job I did even thoe I slaved at it ....40 mins just on the Matts!!!!! It's only my 4th car so I know I need to learn more and speed up but this video really did resonate . Chin up and Keep up the good work mate !!!!!!

Brilliant video!! It's refreshing seeing this style of behind the scenes look into the life of a detailer. Sometimes reality is never shown on other channels, and it's just glamours washes, and deep cleans, without viewers realising the struggles that go on in the background. Nice work 👌🏻

Enjoyed the video, i get it that people dont like this new bmw 4 series grill but i think it looks awesome. Especially if you have the right options and have the m sport plus package with black shadow line with extended contents. This is actually the top of the range m440i, which is the performence version with the six cylinder and sports exhaust. But even better is the m4 competition g82 which the grill looks better.

Great video & info for car cleaning. Just a question: I notice you don't seem to use any sort of breathing filter/mask so are you concerned about inhaling or ingesting any of the products you use, especially the aerosol agents, which may be toxic and have a negative affect on to your long term health, lungs, throat esophagus etc?

Hello Peter thanks for your concern. yeah its a big mistake that im sure i will pay the price for soon enough. I stopped using aerosols about 10 years ago. I do need to take car of myself a bit more. thank you

Dave, another great video as always! I’ve watched nearly all in the past couple of days! I’m not a car valet, but I do take care of my own having owned various Audi RS models and now just moved to BMW. I still want the best and to look after them. Looking to order A LOT from Yum cars, thank you, but two questions: What dilution ratios do you use? Can you do a video? For example, I’m thinking Valetpro citrus pre wash just for stubborn stain and tar on bottom half of car, but at what mix? Also, Yum shampoo, or bahama blue - how much per bucket to get a lovely foamy wash as per your videos? I’ve tried some producing no foam no matter how much shampoo/wash wax added? Keep up the great work!
@epicautomotivedetailing
@epicautomotivedetailing 3 жыл бұрын
thanks mate ill be 100% honest i never spend time measuring out each product for each wash. when you work at 100mph you dont have time but once you know roughly how much to put in it gets easier. i fill up the bucket first with water then put in shampoo halfway the use machine to produce bubbles from the pressure to get me the best suds. Yum is better in my opinion than bahama blue (sorry duel car care but it is)

Hi just seen this video good one 👍 when I ask about a nozzle an said thinking about k5 or k7 I've look at a nilfisk p180 looks good machine . Let me tell you the reason about getting A k5 more so . Me marriage is over I'm still at the house at mo so I can still use a pressure washer coz of outside tap. Not sure how long I have at home before I have to move out witch could mean no tap to use pressure washer at next place thats wy I was thinking about getting k5 more so coz of price as I will have to give money for my son an my name is still on the mortgage so have pay some of that to as she dose not an will sell the house so I'm in a pickle at MO . Thats my I was thinking about a cheaper pressure washer . All the best to you will try an still watch your videos you seems ok be nice to see you in person an chat about what you do cheers 👍👍👍

I get it, the obvious answer is high powered Cree LED light source but is their any tips or tricks to aid seeing imperfections in paintwork.

Hello I will be 100% honest the BMW was a standard clean so nice and easy £50 but then I look at upsells so tar remover a good £10-20 on top. Same for van. In reality 4 of these on average is easy to do. When I film though it's not possible as I have so much filming to cram in to make every shot 2-3 seconds so it takes all day but in reality I make my money back through and revenue and products etc. With a good system in place these are easy jobs to do. Thanks for watching mate
