The hood alone must have been hours of work. Steaming the engine bay is probably the cleanest way to detail without making more work for yourself. Amazing as always.

[@VermijlCarDetail]

It took a good few hours, but it was worth it! Thank you for watching!

[@adambatko4773]

@VermijlCarDetail Completely worth it. That new stuff you put on really looked good

[@cgreenfield6655]

That car is downright gorgeous!

[@stevef2114]

great job... as soon as i saw the bonnet I knew exactly what you were going to do lol With all those exposed electrics... steam is defo the route...would love to give steam a try myself. 40 years old it may be but you can see its been touched... has modern pneumatics for the hood.

[@VermijlCarDetail]

Yeah I would never use a pressure washer on an older car like this. Steam was definitely the best method here! Thank you for watching! 🙏

[@GaryTBuffalo24]

Excellent video...I've always enjoyed your vides detailing older cars but steam cleaning the engine bay was fascinating. Thanks for posting.

[@VermijlCarDetail]

Glad to hear you enjoyed this one! Thank you for watching!

I like the way you cleaned the engine bay with a streamer. Better than using a water hose. Great idea. Thanks much for your Video.

Another great video! Have been following you for some time and wondering if you can produce longer versions. I think people wouldn't even mind paying for these through something like Patreon.

Nerta diamond active foam, mixed 50/50 with water, spray everything under the bonnet. Let sit for 5 mins then blast off with a gerni. Spray with Koch Chemie MP Done.

[@none44444]

Hey man, Ive been thinking about starting a detailing business. I wasn't too sure about what products i should start with to clean the interior as well as the exterior. I dont have alot of money starting off maybe between $500 and $600. Would you be able to point me in the right direction on the best soaps and chemicals to use to get the best results for this price range? It would be greatly appreciated! Also I love watching your videos very satisfying and entertaining!

[@user-ze7mo8zu1l]

Замечательная работа!! А как избавиться от мелких царапин на стеклах??? После протирок образовались...

That under hood transformation is just awesome. I'm betting that was not a fun job. Slow and stinky with a bonus of leaning over the car the whole time.

[@VermijlCarDetail]

It was a lot of effort, but it was worth it! Thank you for watching! 🙏

[@sudeepsharma2616]

I am very eager to know how much time did you take to fully detail this bmw because we have seen upto 3 videos of this bmw till now

I'm not exactly sure, it takes so much longer with all this filming. Without filming, this would take like a week to complete

do have any advice how to remove old Cosmoline (the yellowish stuff that is usually sprayed in engine bay)

[@Vanya2893]

from what i understand the cosmoline was only applied to cars shipped to the americas as a rust prohibitor while they were on ships. it was supposed to be removed by dealerships on arrival but american BMW dealership owners in the 80s were too coked out of their minds to bother

[@Kris-82]

[@TAFLOWGAMING]

What happened with the previous one? and can you make a video on DIY detail outdoor 😅😅

[@VermijlCarDetail]

Some of the audio got messed up and I'm not sure why. What do you mean exactly with DIY detail outdoor? What specifically would you like to see?

[@TAFLOWGAMING]

Ohh..I apologize for the confusion. By "DIY detail outdoor," I mean showcasing the process of applying ceramic coating and performing paint correction on a vehicle's exterior, along with minor interior detailing. This could include steps such as washing, decontaminating, polishing, applying ceramic coating, and tidying up the interior surfaces in outdoor environment as many people don't have garages😊

[@walterdedecker5491]

Knap werk weeral, maar zie dat je met twee personen bent is het dan niet simpeler en sneller om de motorkap te verwijderen?

Thanks! Hebben we zeker aan gedacht, maar eerlijk gezegd ging dit beter en vlotter + dan konden we de moeite om alle bekabeling te verwijderen ook uitsparen 😀

Why was dry-ice blasting not chosen for the job? Video of dry-ice blasting shows use of cleaning chemicals is avoided and commentary on the system is very positive.

I only used steam in this video, not dry ice

К чему весь этот понт с парогенератором? Крайне долго и неудобно, если брать во внимание труднодоступные участки. Что мешает обработать соединения диэлектриком, почистить всё Green Star, смыть водой без давления и в конце высушить? Риски минимальны

[@StoleYourBurger]

какой диэлектрик порекомендуете? (просто водой дистилированной?) и что такое Green star? спасибо

[@dmitriymarshal7763]

Европейцы любят усложнять процесс… У него 8,5/10 машин просто пыльные. Например за чистку кузова, шаговую полировку керамической подложкой CarPro Essence и два слоя керамики он просит 1000 Евро. Это фактически 1-1,5 дня работы. Учитывая, что у него график с 12 до 18, это пара дней
