Thanks dear for mentioning detailing products below

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Absolute pleasure 👍🏼 I hope it helps you out

[@ravitejachalapathi5949]

The way you detail any car is outstanding and gives the immense satisfaction watching them... you're slow...steady...and the best❤️👏

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thank you very much!

That Range Rover looks good in blue, especially after you detailed it. Thank you,

As ever, great satisfying asmr style. Great work

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks Glenn, I hope you have enjoyed it 👍🏼

[@sshnrub]

Don’t see many SVRs without the black rims. Looks alright actually

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Tell me about it! I much prefer chrome or standard colour rims. They look so much better when clean.

[@zhar9393]

A tip I’ve learned about the drying stage of hydrophobic paint is to rinse it with flowing water first. This removes seemingly 90% of water from the car and makes drying a lot easier.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hi Aslan, Yes absolutely, it’s a great way to dry the car, and keeps the drying towel dryer for longer. I’m just wary with the amount of water I’m using sometimes.

[@stephenrobertdougherty802]

Great video, just a suggestion Can you link all the product you use in your description? They could be affiliated links so you can make bit of money of them, but it would help regular viewers like me to buy the right products and accessories Thanks

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hi Asud, some of the products I use can’t be found on affiliated links. When I am using a product I do put the name in the bottom left 👍🏼

[@jarosawbodzak7177]

Hi can you tell me what you use for the tires of what dressing

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hi, I used Carpro PERL as a tire dressing

[@pr9382]

Any scrubbing brushes you recommend for the interior leather? Worried incase I pick one too rough for my white Merino leather, it’s starting to look very soiled and grimey even after wipe downs with microfibres!

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

For interior leather I would have a look at a Gyeon or colour lock fabric brush. Failing that, a standard soft shoe polishing brush would do the trick. The brushes will help get into the pores of the leather. Thereafter, a microfibre wipe down every week should suffice 👍🏼

[@pr9382]

@@HarpersCarDetailing thanks for the reply! Just ordered some Koch chemie pol star, gyeon brush and some dr leather wipes for maintenance! Will update how I get on. Hoping the soiling will come out as the autoglym leather cleaner I had doesn’t seem to be strong enough. Cheers for the inspiration to give it a proper go!

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

The pol star is really good. Stray on to the brush first. Dr leather wipes are also very good! I have a 150 tub in the garage for personal use 👍🏼 Hope it goes well!

[@pr9382]

@@HarpersCarDetailing went well... the pol star with the soft Gyeon brush has lifted the majority of the grime on my drivers seat and armrest WAY better than the autoglym leather cleaner. Very satisfied with the results, so thank you for the recommendation 👍🏼

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

@@pr9382 brilliant, I’m glad to hear. So much more economical as well with the dilution ratio. Great on fabric too

[@Just_Bald_Chris]

You apply PolStar by hand - Is this diluted prior to application or neat?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I use 30ml in 970ml of water through a lance 👍🏼

[@LND8110]

Great video...one question, after the tar you snow foamed again and the beading/protection seemed to be more effective from a certain point up the cars body. Was this due to the tar?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thank you! Sorry I should have been clear in the video. This car doesn’t have any protection on so I used a product called Koch Chemie Protector Wax. 30ml and diluted with 970ml water through a foam lance. It adds a subtle hydrophobic effect, which helps when it comes to drying. Saying that, a tar remover could help reset a coating if the hydrophobic properties have started to diminish. I would only ever use it if there were tar spots present as some tar removers can be too aggressive 👍🏼 Furthermore, some tar removes leave behind a solvent which appear to be hydrophobic, but once thoroughly rinsed are quickly disappear.

[@LND8110]

Great, thanks for the reply and clarification.

[@reddyuda]

Excellent job as always! Do you have a favorite interior dressing for leather seats? I bought a used 2012 CLS and cleaned the interior really well with some P&S Interior Cleaner, and the leather is looking nice and clean but a bit dry and in need of some love. I was thinking of trying some Nextzett Leather Care 'Lederpflege' as I do not want a shiny finish, but was wondering if you have a favorite product that you use for this purpose.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thank you very much 👍🏼 Not a dressing as such, more of a protector. I use Dr Leather leather shield which is good on modern leather, as modern leather typically only requires regular cleaning compared to old leather which requires conditioning as well. Dr leather dye block or Colour lock leather shield and both great products and will last you a very long time 👍🏼

[@marksafady5986]

Do you come across wheels where the iron remover rinse & BH foam doesn’t cut it? If so, what’s your process?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Hi Mark, Yes I have come across a few. You can always repeat the Korrosol/iron fallout process until the wheels are clean. I have had it in some cases where I have had to use KKD Wheel Acid diluted at 1:4, but wouldn’t want to do this every time as over the years could possibly start to tarnish the finish.

[@jonathanpike2928]

Can I ask how and what camera set up u use

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I use a Canon 250d and a Robe mic 👍🏼

[@jonathanpike2928]

@@HarpersCarDetailing fantastic is it just on a standard tripod

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It’s amzn.to/3KTWPpz It’s really sturdy and you can hang something weighty from the centre so it doesn’t fall in the wind. My last tripod fell in the wind and broke the camera, so had to get a repair so definitely worth getting a decent tripod like this 👍🏼

[@jonathonwatson9800]

Noticed you used the KKD shampoo, whats your thoughts on it and anything else from their range you would recommend?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I really like it! Very lubricated and free rinsing. Their citrus magic and brake buster wheel cleaner is good as well. Their machine polishing pads are very good too 👍🏼

the pol star its a wounderful product you can do all sorts with it from exterior and interior i also use it as a carpet cleaner in the house plus it cheap 👍... one question ... the experience you have ... whats the best sealent have you tryed for exterior?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It’s great isn’t it. Very versatile! By best do you mean longest lasting?? Gyeon Wax, Fusso 99, Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax and Collinite 875 are all great.

[@garethdavies7564]

@@HarpersCarDetailing is any of them spray products?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Afraid not. Sonax Polyment Net Shield is a hybrid spray sealant which is veeeeery hydrophobic.

[@ramynovver4071]

I think the use of the micro fibre towel is not necessary on the tire as it would be rubbing the dirt back on to it . Just hose it off.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It does the opposite, it removes engrained dirt from the tyre wall

[@paultaylor9652]

Another great transformation, surprised at the leather seat though, I guess it's jeans worn by the owner.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It’s very common, especially on cream leather. You don’t realise how dirty they are until you do a 50/50 to see the difference. It hasn’t been cleaned properly in years though.

[@valleysman1234]

Can anybody recommend a good car wax paste or liquid thanks for your help.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Fusso wax is a good paste synergetic wax. collinite 845 is a great liquid wax. Swissvax do a good range of natural carnuba waxes 👍🏼

How often do you have to replace your brushes and wash pads for all the cleaning? Love the videos 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I tend to change the wheel brushes when the casing crack, but they are very durably so not very often. The noodle style wash mitts also stay in good condition for a long time too, compared to the microfibre wash mitts.

[@borisjohnson7553]

Do you know how you are based in Harrogate how far out will you come to detail a car?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It really depends on what detail you would be interested in. If it’s a 1 day detail then I wouldn’t be able to travel to London as the travelling would more or less take up the day. Typically I would travel 15 miles, thereafter every hour would be £25 including the travel back. 10 Downing Street might be a little too far for me to travel for a 1 day detail 😉 I’m also wary of travelling too far as I wouldn’t want to break any travel rules during the pandemic.

Brushing in snow foam = brushing the dirt into the paint work 😬

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

The car has been thoroughly pre-rinsed beforehand, so no need to worry. I haven’t shown every step as it was quite quickly getting dark, but have a look at some of my other videos. I’ll apply a citrus degreaser or equivalent, rinse, foam, brush then rinse, so as the areas have been rinsed beforehand there is little chance of marring the finish. I’m guessing you have seen or heard this from ‘UBV Guide’.

[@ANab2004]

Bad

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Good album by Michael Jackson

[@bobi.3603]

Very unprofessional work........

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

How do you mean?

[@bobi.3603]

Marks left on wheels after “cleaning”, nothing used on leather after cleaning (cream or any sort of protection), brushing the steering wheel was donne only on the face of the wheel and by hand, after you brushed the floor carpet you throw the brush on the leather.......want more?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Where were the marks on the wheels? New leather doesn’t need cream as it isn’t 100% leather and has more of a plastic coating, unlike older cars which need cream to keep then supple and conditioned. Also, this was a basic wash so no protection was requested. As mentioned in the video, the whole interior wasn’t filmed as it was getting dark, so I just wanted to show a 50/50 comparison. I have a specific brush for carpets and leather so would never use the same. Also, the leather was cleaned after the carpet so wouldn’t matter if the soft plastic brush was on the leather. Also, I have a box full of microfibre towels, so again the same towel wouldn’t be used on fabric and leather. If you didn’t feel that I did a sufficient to job on the wheels then why watch the rest...to criticise?

[@bobi.3603]

Next time put propper video then, it is your work and you should be proud of it. Don’t get offended and accept different opinions. P.S.- Any leather, new or old should be protected, the chemicals in the cleaning substances afects it!

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I am happy with the video and I’m very proud of my work. I can’t help if it starts to get dark when filming, as I work around my clients. I accept constructive criticism, but not when it’s rude, which hopefully you will understand. Take a look at the below article on leather cleaning and protection from the specialists at Dr Leather. Colour-Lock are also a leading specialist in leather and have a similar article. Leather cleaners are not aggressive, they are only needed to gently cleanse the surface of the leather. www.drleather.com/leather-cleaner As mentioned modern leather has an artificial lubricant, coatings used are now multi-strata highly crosslinked polyurethane and acrylic blends that provide extremely high performance levels of abrasion resistance, flexibility, cold crack resistance, etc., giving much more durable leather. Consequently, only a gentle clean is needed. A leather sealant is great as it reduces soiling and dye transfer from trousers and helps with general maintenance cleaning but in no way feeds/conditions the leather, or 100% needed.
