Great video and story mate, she knew you were busy with life and your business and not just avoiding doing the car, don’t let that stuff eat you up it’s a slow dangerous path to go down. At least she has seen it now!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate, still going through the emotions, just have to mask them on here best I can

[@tartanwallpaper]

The world is a funny place… I think she’ll be sending a huge thumbs up on this. 👍🏽 Great work. 👏🏽

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you. I really do hope so

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

She was probably one of my biggest fans , she never missed a video. Just hope somewhere she's looking down at the results

[@R36_black_diamond]

Don’t blame yourself This is how life works,we are all human and busy with all aspects of life It’s a nice tribute to her and I think she knows and can see what you did Love the channel and be proud of what you’ve achieved Greetings from the Netherlands

I appreciate you posting this. The emotion came through and is NOTHING to be ashamed of. Love that you eventually got to it. I hope many that watched this realise that sometimes we cannot put things in our lives off for too long, because we don't know where the journey will take us.

Sad story for a nice conclusion. Take a deep breath,keep your head high,you can be proud of you dear friend. The results are really excellent,thumbs up from France.👍👍👍

Thank you, yeah this job was a lot tougher than I thought

[@panagiotisnikoloudakis4949]

Thanks for the long video! I was waiting for something like this for long from a professional detailer. I never miss a video from you. Keep them coming. Very touching of you cleaning her car. She will see it! She is looking down on you and feeling proud. Lesson learned we must fulfil our promises because we don’t know what tomorrow brings. We won’t live for ever.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you my friend

[@geraintdavies5042]

Sorry for your loss .. it was lovely to see a detailing video that as a rule gave not very much “ personality “ have such a deep and meaningful story behind it .

Thank you

Fantastic Job, RIP Felicity....

Sometimes life gets in the way of "life". If we knew what was going to happen we would ALL win the lottery. I have been a professor of Hindsight for many years it gets you nowhere. You have now done the car and it is excellent, you have done her proud... and yourself.

[@carlosteixeira3966]

Definitely one of your best details if not the best! I am sure she is thinking something like "thats my boys" meaning you and her car as she watched you doing this from the sky...big hugs and keep strong , I am sure she is proud of you!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

It's funny she always said that after i had a video take off❤️🙏

[@garypage8852]

First I must say I love your videos. I love watching what you do & then going & trying this on my own cars (Peugeot 3008 GT, MG ZTT, MGF & Suzuki Swace) , and although my disability prevents me from being as quick as some who are physically able. Your intro & the way you talk about Felicity, we can all see how much she meant to you & how much doing this job means to you too. If anyone can take anything from this; life is short, life is precious, if you have anything or seeing anyone on your "one day" list, do it & do it ASAP.. Keep up the great work

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Gary that's very kind of you. 🙂

Dave I noticed during the video you mentioned how car detailing is a therapy for you. With your emotional attachment to this car and Felicity I can understand your self questioning weather this was a video you weren’t sure to make or not. You’ve done an amazing job on the car, you’ve certainly done Felicity Proud, I’m sure she’s still looking out for you ❤ and this job will have bee very therapeutic for you. Keep doing what you do, as you do it with such honesty 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Termi-Motovlogs]

I am 100% sure, Felicity would have been over the moon with your work on her little Kia. Though, to answer your question, I love using Alien Magic Snow Foams, they're great fun to use and if the owner is watching some great theatrics for them to see.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate, yeah she would have loved this I'm 100% sure. I've asked them to make me a few other colours to try out as it did look quite cool.

[@BigHeroSix-123]

Thanks Darren

[@Ally.MacMillan]

Brilliant job mate, and as said below, don't feel bad about not getting round to it before, for all we know she can still see it. Massive turnaround on the car. Coloured snow foams, not something I would use personally, but I won't slag off those who do use them either, if it's fun and if it works for them, who am I to argue 👍

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Ally appreciate the comment :)

[@gregorypollet6106]

Hi Dave ! What a heartbreaking story 😭! I am absolutely glad you were able to give your friend's car her past glory. I fully understand it must have been the toughest job to do but also a big relief to your own conscience. We all find ourselves excuses to postpone tasks here and there as you said. Too hot, too cold, too much raining,etc... Most important if I may say is that you appeased your conscience and feel now better to go forward. Of course you will get emotional since it is part of the grief process. Scars will need time to heal Great content as always Dave 😉 Best of luck ! Cheers mate Gregg

[@matwom]

Hi mate , great video , I seen help , I like to clean my car regularly but I’m still not 100 percent sure of the products to use , I’m not a massive detail fan spending hours on cleaning my car but I won’t it to look the very best I can get it , I use autoglym shampoo and then autoglym super resin polish which leaves the car looking great but I now I should be putting some more protection ontop but when I do it it takes that super resin polish shine off it ,, what’s the best thing to use mate ? Thanks

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I have a big autoglym video coming next week. I have a ton of products and im carrying out a deep clean so that will be worth a watch. I think this industry can become a minefield with products so i will be featuring more bundles on here where enthusiasts can buy everything they need to clean a car in one massive bundle

[@davetate-t4i]

What best hoover you recommend, for cars. With smaller attachments too get in between tight spaces?, have you done a hoover video yet?

[@ianstowe3402]

Love the videos. Getting a business plan together to see if I can start doing this full time. My biggest question is about waste water. Ive been told by united utilities i need a licence which i understand but would this to dispose of the waste water myself or let it drain naturally? Keep up the great inspiring job you do

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Ian, its a very sensitive subject. Some people councils say yes some say no. There was a law which was scrapped regarding waste water from cleaning cars a long time ago, but because the industry is currently unregulated, many just get on with it without going to a council. I've never come across anyone in the UK get fined for washing their cars but I imagine things could change over the next 5 years...

[@scottp4547]

Awesome job that is If it was a regular client how much wud that kinda job be

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

if it was a regular client it would have easily been finished in a day and a half. It's a very good question because the car itself wasn't terribly dirty inside, it was also small and the paint was forgiving and i didnt ceramic coat it. ceramic coatings are the biggest upsell so if it was a paying customer i would factor in the cost of the unit, tools etc, my time and would have charged somewhere for something like this £500 - £600 (but thats based on everything i mentioned) Filthy cars or vehicles with bad paint the cost would go up.

[@vibez_kru01]

I’m indifferent to coloured snow foams. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy one. But if it was given to me or bought for me, I’d use it.

No it wasn't a flop, I couldn't manage the whole chemical side of things along with customer service and then juggle the channel and my businesses. It was having a negative effect on my channel.
