Facing The Toughest Detailing transformation of my life (This got emotional! )

[@Bigdaftboy]

You are a good man Dave! Nice to see your Dad on the channel, take care!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate, was happy to help 🙏

[@YumCars]

great video Dave and an even greater act of kindness!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Mate yeah that's totally out of character for me 😂

[@michaelclarkson1706]

Dave your kindness and dedication to your family and this channel is limitless! Another great video from a generous guy, thank “dad” needs a thank you too 😏😆

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Michael I really appreciate the kind words

[@hollygrace2317]

🥹 Aw this actually made me emotional. Honestly thank you again so so much you have no idea how much this means to not just me but the kids for your generosity. And thank you Tony for also making it look amazing ☺️.Alfonzo is an amazing car and I love it so much!! 🥰 (Cheryl) xx

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

My Pleasure. It was the least I could do. It gives me an excuse to get another one now lol

[@jpd9047]

What a lovely video! And heartwarming to see your dad involved in the project. I wish I could share my passion for detailing with my dad, but he is no longer here. Be good to your loved ones (and their cars!) while you can. :)

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I'm so sorry to hear that 🙏. Dad's great we don't take ourselves too seriously. He used to getting shouted at from my mum so it's water off a ducks back 😅

[@jpd9047]

@@epicautomotivedetailing Thank you for the kind words. :) And you two seem to make a great duo! I really enjoyed the video - and never take yourself to seriously :D Looking forward to the next one! Maybe bring your mom :'D

First! It's good to see this moments between father and son,great video David,as always.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Fantastic job Dave, that little Alfa looks amazing, and it's great to see your dad back on the channel

Another great job Dave and so good to see Dad back on the team! Hope it warms up soon!

[@alistairjones4794]

Great and hope Leo is around too!

[@JS-bf9dw]

4:18 dad´s troll face xDDD I´ve also realized that I´m getting into age, when I need to tell my dad he´s doing something dumb instead he telling that to me ...but no matter what, my dad is my greatest hero and I´m incredibly grateful for everything he taught me

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

🙂

[@randybecker7339]

What a gift! Besides doing an amazingly thorough job on the Alpha, to give it away is amazing! Good on ya!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Last year I was given a car for free. I feel blessed that I could give back by doing the same thing 🙏

[@kevincross9206]

Cracking job Dave, but then again, what did we expect 🤷🏼‍♂️👏🏼

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate yeah he's wonderful and I'm grateful I have him 🙏

[@karl3927]

Cracking result you achieved there Dave and thank you for the video. You absolutely transformed the Mito. What a lovely gesture too. No wonder Cheryl was over the moon.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Karl. Yeah she was thrilled. Last year one of my clients gave me a free car so it's only fair I give back to the universe

[@marktrower2267]

Fantastic job as always Dave So great to see your Dad back mate he cracks me up.

@epicautomotivedetailing ... You can't ask for much more than that Dave

[@jeaneebarnes2835]

Wow!!!! It's like a metamorphosis !! The work you did on this car for your relative is heart warming. Your a good man Dave !!!!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you I really appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Dave, brilliant video,what a transformation this MiTo is,looks like new,to give it away she was very happy with it.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you. She needed that and I was more than happy to help 🙏

[@yeshuascutter3170]

Watching this for the second time. You guys are superb at what you do and I've learned so much. Thank you!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Wow that honestly means so much to me. Can't thank you enough. This is the content I'm planning on making but I'll be having just a dedicated channel for this type of content stay tuned

[@paultaylor9652]

There are great videos, then there are GREAT VIDEOS. Your sister was genuinely pleased which was great to see nowadays, when people aren't happy unless they drive a newish car.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Paul, I literally put my heart and soul into this one. Yeah I've made a little bit of a loss on it but it doesn't matter. I'm still sad that the Alfa has gone, I genuinely loved driving it

[@robrocks34]

What a great thing to do Dave top man 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Davey1350]

brilliant video mate, from one Dave to another - we wouldn't see family stuck

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Dave

[@jonathandeeley6276]

I'll whisper it shh. Front Number Plate🤔🤣. Great to see your Dad back on the channel doing his thing, car looked great when finished. An alternative to the car dryer for half the price is a pet dryer. Bought one primarily for use on my Motorbike, brilliant bit of kit for around 50 quidish on fleabay.🙂👍

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate yeah I ran out of budget for the number plate 😂

[@georgina_gsm]

Great job and how generous!! Hope she can get a new front reg plate to make it look even better 😊

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Georgina 🙂

[@simonmanning6609]

Dave, you are such a selfless person and humbled, amazing video and comical at times with your dad 😂, you have done a fantastic job for your sister, well done you❤ And your sisters reaction was priceless ❤❤❤

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Simon. It was worth the effort for that reaction. Sad my Alfa has now gone but I've got an excuse to get another one.

[@MattGemelli]

I hate goodbyes 😢 but at least it’s still in the family 😊 great job, I love to see cars being saved

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yes I can see keep the car clean for her but I really miss it. I'm sold on alfas now

[@MattGemelli]

@ I’m still yet to own one but I’d love a Brera.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

That was a brilliant watch, nice one dude!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate 🙂

[@juvenitto]

Nice deep clean which made that car look like new again. Now just regular maintenance every few weeks and car will be so pleasent to drive. Nice one!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

It looked better in the flesh. Was really chuffed with this one

[@raymondbarlow8167]

Thanks Raymond 🙏

[@waysidecarvaleting]

Absolutely great video!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤

Thanks Jeremy. This was a blast to film. 100% made my mind up to run another channel just for this type of content

Great to see a Mr A Walker back on the channel!!!!

Oh - and do get that lovely little car a new set of number plates!! Crying out for them. Will knock years off.

Well done mate. Great job in less than great conditions.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Darren

[@Pulito_d]

Great video Dave! Gotta love an Alfa 😉

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I'm on the lookout for another one

[@Pulito_d]

@ Nice, good luck. The 159, Brera or Mito are the standouts. Unless you’re really lucky in finding a Gtv. They are beautiful cars but for some reason most Alfa owned cars tend to get neglected.

[@cholomondeleybiscuitt]

With regards to claying etc, a super-easy way to tell if the paintwork still has 'invisible' contaminants on it is to use a plastic food/freezer bag - Put your hand in the bag, spread your fingers and gently feel across the car's panels. The plastic bag acts as an 'amplifier' so that you can feel the invisible particles of contamination that you may have missed. You can then re-apply Tar Remover or go over gain with a clay bar. 😉

[@simonhesbrook1761]

Great Video Dave, nice to see your personality come through on your work. Cant imagine how long that took to edit ?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks Simon. 5 days of solid editing so yeah it was a mission not just the clean 😬

[@adamhutson5187]

Very enjoyable video 👍

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thank you 🙏

[@Phil-1969]

Fantastic job Dave , your a good man , the Alfa looks great , one thing I would have done was put new number plates on it

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Cheers Phil, it's on the to do list 😉

So it is possible to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear😊 another fantastic video Dave great results and reaction 👏👏😊😊

Thanks Andy. We had a laugh making this one. Got bit stressful towards the end with lack of time but it paid off

Amazing !!

Great outcome looks fantastic , I used some of epic automotive products did enjoy shame can’t get them any more 👍

I’ve got a Juke that needs a good clean and polish 😊 Mito came up really well, great job! I used to valet cars when I was younger but I’m 60 now and have arthritis in my hands so can’t do what I used to be able to do.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Sorry to hear that. Hope it doesn't stop you completely 🙏

[@56bandit]

@ just basics now I’m sorry to say but I really enjoy your videos! 👍🏼

[@CatBroiler]

Ah yes, the starter disengagement squeal. You know you've got a 1.4 FIRE when you hear that sound

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Love it lol, it was such a fun car when driving it in dynamic mode. Miss it already but decided I'm going to look out for a guilieta

[@CatBroiler]

@@epicautomotivedetailing Oh yeah, Guiliettas are great, they can be pretty cheap to buy, and they don't have the terrible rust issues of the previous generation of Alfas. There's a few common issues, but non are particularly expensive or complicated to fix.

Never thought a steamer was useful always thought it was a gimic. Then brought one. Best thing going

it is and it isn't. theres pros and cons. My karcher wasn't too powerful. this is a lot better though

My favorite bit of this video is when you are steam cleaning and you cut to "when I get high"! Classic made me lol 😂😂

I was high on steam lol

Quality 👏

Thanks Darren

[@dannya6825]

Great video. I really want to give my car a deep clean. It's quite a bit older though being a 52 reg 😭 The paint is full of chips and scratches. It needs some TLC

No shame in having an older car. they are the good ones :)

Love the channel and the car looks fantastic.... but get the sister in law to put a new set of Reg plates on it....front one was rotten....took the look off all your hard work!!! Good video

Dave, I love your videos. You are a good-looking chap, just like your Dad. Do you ever watch The Detail Geek? He is really good and is located in Canada. I hope you and your family are well. And yes, you do need a bigger place!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Hiya thanks so much. I know of him but i'm not into that asmr detailing stuff. Massive respect to him but I like the personal experiences that come from detailing (got to love a bit of banter 😉)

[@martinmagee]

Lovely work. Been watching u use the Yum products. Am a bit caught between a rock and a hard place. How does the clay bar compare to a auto Glyn product called Magma

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate, autoglym magma is a fallout remover, yum wheel cleaner is capable of doing the same thing as it's ph neutral and has similar materials used

[@gregbastow3634]

Great video Dave - quick question, you seem to have switched from Infinity Wax products to Yum; any reason ?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I use both of them mate. Yum were with me since the very beginning. I love using infinity wax as always but recently I haven't had as many videos out so it seems more yum at moment. Soon as the new series hits KZbin on my new channel I'll be mixing many brands 💪

[@dimitrisfreris1120]

I would like to see a comparison between BH korrosol and Car pro Iron X. I think you have done in the past iron removers comparison. I believe BH and Car pro iron removers are the best in the market.

[@stwav60]

Great transformation. Maybe be a bit easier on your dad, I’m the same sometimes with my mum but you have to have a little patience…as Take That sang 😂😂. Great job though mate.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate 🙂

[@TheLegend-wd6vo]

How do you use the infinity wax leather cleanser? As a cleaner or after you’ve used an interior detailer?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I just wanted to put it on the steering wheel. You can actually use it on vinyl as it just finishes it off nicely. I didnt add every scene in the video as it was getting long but i used infinity wax interior detailer to finish of some parts of the interior trim

[@TheLegend-wd6vo]

@ I’ve actually got some but never used it. Should I use interior detailer first then go through with the cleanser again? Or could I use it as the cleaner aswel?

[@rogerthecabinboy]

Just to let you know it was 26 degrees here yesterday , very difficult cleaning a car. What a first world problem 😂😂😂😎😎😎

Sounds lovely weather. It's pretty depressing weather here

[@ad_182_uk]

What are the dilution options on the yum car citrus? Does it contain d-limonene?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

i had a few bottles at my disposal so i did 3 parts water 1 part citrus pre wash . it varies based on severity

[@alexdodd6768]

Acetone for overspray

[@Shutyamouthbruv]

Looks good! Shame you couldn't finish it off with a set of fresh numberplates.

It's already been mentioned I am getting some for her

@epicautomotivedetailing good lad! Sorry I couldn't bring myself to read ALL the comments haha.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

No worries 😅

[@lancefletcher6553]

As a pro detailer obsessed with cleaning glass how does ice and methods and products used to remove effect the cleaning and products used during detailing.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I can't say I've ever used dry ice for glass. Don't need it really

[@lancefletcher6553]

@epicautomotivedetailing sorry you miss understood I mean frozen windows using deicers and scrapers, does that remove beading products on glass or scratch glass. How do you deice your van. And it's good to see the boss back again.

[@davefallows9537]

Have you received the rubbers around the doors &etc

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Have I received it? Sorry I didn't understand the comment

[@btbd2785]

Has your Mito been a reliable vehicle?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yes 100% solid. Has funny moments on the dash when it's cold but the car just drove perfectly

[@garymorrison277]

I wish I had those drill bushes and that tornador 30 years ago when I was a full-time valater, we cleaned loads of miggin cars like that, and worse, before they went to auction or forecourt. The headcloth of a smokers car was the worst. 🤮

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah I can imagine. Haven't cleaned many smokers cars in a while

[@Sean-rawlins]

How do you clean a car as fast as possible

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Learning a good strategy, clean the car in a certain order based on certain conditions outside. Cleaning a car in the hot sun requires a different process to the cold so you need to know all methods

[@glaucofranca8098]

Dave, how old is this Mito?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

2010

[@fluzzerr]

Cleaning damaged wheels is so much less satisfying for some reason 😅

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Beautiful wheels 😉

[@Dean.martin.93]

Why not just drive the car in forwards? 😊

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

It's easier to reverse in. I don't get a good angle out the front as there's a big grassy patch. Plus car reveals at the front look 👌
