Range Rover LWB Autobiography Exterior Wash - [3 month Ceramic Coating Update]

#carcleaning #dirtycardetailing #carcare
In this video I am going to walk you through an exterior ceramic coating maintenance detail on this Long Wheel Based Range Rover Autobiography.
This video is shorter than usual as I've been booked up with clients back to back for the whole of December, so struggled to pick the camera up, so here's a few snippets of an exterior maintenance wash and 3 month ceramic coating update.
Hopefully, you can pick up some tips along the way.

I hope you have enjoyed the video! The great thing about protecting the wheels is that it makes it a breeze to maintain them! After the initial chemical decontamination the wheels are practically clean, so only a mild foam and light agitation is required.

This microfiber tip on tires is great

Maybe a small advise from an owner, when you wash a RR raise it into Off-Road height and then it’s easier to wash the wheel arches and all around that. Thumbs up from Germany

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Great advice. I always forgot to do this, especially for videos!

hi,i like the content you put up,what dilution rate do you use for the KKD,thanks

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hello, I use 200ml KKD in 5,000ml water, so roughly 1:25, or slightly stronger at 250ml so 1:20 👍🏼

I believe it’s a tuff shine brush. Although, most of these brushes are very similar. www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/tuf-shine-tyre-cleaning-brush

[@dkeshvala]

Hi, what do you use or can be used to clean the tips of the Exhaust on this model/car. Also would recommend polishing them with metal polish or similar?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I would use a metal cleaner on a microfibre. If needed, go to 0000 steel wool

Good work mate. Can you tell me what extension that is you have got on your Kranzle, I have the same QR gun but just the stub nozzle and need a bit more reach cheers 👍🏻

[@jonathanpowell1470]

You mentioned using iron fallout remover after hand washing. Would this also be a good time to use tar remover as well? Or should these be done before hand washing?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Always use the iron and tar remover after washing the car. Unless you can feel or have visible tar spots I would try and avoid using a tar remover, as some can be quite aggressive so would deteriorate the coating faster.

[@jackwilliam446]

I’m pretty sure that’s a normal autobiography? Otherwise, great video!! Loved it, I personally upkeep my fathers vehicles and absolutely love it

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

No it’s definitely a long wheel based. There’s a L on the side of the car right at the start which signifies long wheel based 👍🏼

[@jackwilliam446]

@@HarpersCarDetailing I know it’s the long wheel based model, just not the Svautobiography

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Yeah you’re right. For some reason I thought all LWB were SVA

[@nuclearstudios7497]

Before applying a Decon on the wheels, clean it with a tire cleaner to break down any dirt and lose decon first then spray a decon

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I usually spray a wheel cleaner, rinse, then decon, but wanted to show the colour changing effect of the iron remover 👍🏼

[@jonathanpowell1470]

What blow dryer do you use? Looks pretty powerful.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It’s a Metro Vac. It’s really powerful, despite it being 6 years old. The newer version might have even more power.

[@ruhbanahmed3425]

How do you make your suds so foamy? I use Gtechniq Gwash and I have to constantly top it up with water.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I haven’t used the Gwash. Are you using it at the recommended dilution? Might be worry upping the dose if you are wanting it more sudsy. Also, if you have hard water that can affect it 👍🏼

[@kristjanstuff9208]

You mentioned that if the hydrophobic properties of a ceramic coating seem to be gone then we should use an iron and fallout remover on the paint. Will the ceramic coating stand up to that product? I mean will that chemical not diminish the ceramic coating?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I would try a strong but safe shampoo such as Carpro reset. Carpro reset rinses very well so doesn’t leave anything behind. The fallout remover isn’t that harsh, as it’s just confusing on removing ferrous material. Even a tar remover can be used occasionally, but I imagine that will deteriorate the coating quicker. Korrosol is PH 5 so slightly acidic, which is similar to water spots removers, so a great cleaner

Three questions: Excluding camera work time, how long does this take you? Is this your normal maintenance wash? How much did you earn?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Roughly 2 hours, and yes this is my normally maintenance wash however the inside is taken care of too. Around £60-£70 depending on time taken.

[@quintenquet]

What is your price range for a maintenance wash? Thanks

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Around £55-£65 mark. The interior is done as well, I wouldn’t just do the outside 👍🏼

What are those exposed wires at 5.06? That doesn’t look very good on a premium vehicle

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Good point, I’m not too sure though in all honesty. Surely they will be sealed as it’s the most exposed part of the car 🤞🏼

[@anuppatel624]

Why don’t you use bilt hamber wheel cleaner?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I much prefer the Korrosol, as the Wheel Cleaner is too viscous in my opinion. It also means I only need one product for wheels and paintwork decontamination instead of two

[@anuppatel624]

Can the korrosol be diluted? Bilt hamber products are generally expensive. I use the wheel cleaner by bilt hamber. I find it very expensive and can’t be diluted. It does do a great job

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Strictly speaking neither can be diluted, but it does still work when diluted, but it just has less cleaning power. I would use a separate bottle to dilute some, as then you can have both a full strength and slightly weekend version

[@jahanzeblove6370]

Where are you

[@jhndijkman]

Id be a disapointed if the ceramic coating was breaking down after only been on for three months.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Agreed. It’s always nice going back to a client just to check that the protection is performing how it should 👍🏼

[@nasa1985]

I’d say it very much depends on mileage, the season and the type of roads the vehicle has been driven on.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Agree. Also depends if the car is garaged. I have a client with a Maserati’s which has only done 4,000 miles in 6 years and kept in a garage, and the coating is as good as day 1, so really does depend. The coating will naturally deteriorate and instead of intense water beading, I would expect more sheeting, which is still a good sign of the coating.

It’s the nature of my job so I can’t avoid using water. I do try and reserve as much water as possible, which is why I don’t fill my wash bucket to the top as it’s still safe on the car to do so. I also have a 200-litre water butt at home, for home use. If you’re wearing or own a pair of jeans, it supposedly requires 10,000 litres of water to make one pair...
