Thanks Hassan 👍🏼 I’m glad you enjoyed it 👊🏼 Rolls Royce Dawn ‘one of one Mayfair Edition’ next week hopefully 🤞🏼

[@sabrina6499]

Love your style! Great video!! 👏🏻

[@chrismon-ke9849]

Nice video editing skills mate as always. The close ups and angles so we see the car without you in the way must take you ages. You deserve way more subscribers

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks Chris 👍🏼 I probably adds about 1 -1/2 hours onto the job so not too bad 👊🏼

[@Pabla98]

Love the quality control people, they seem pretty nice ;)

Afternoon Nick..... Again.....I was put into a trance....excellent product use and visual and verbal description..... Again another fine detail from you Sirrrrrrr 👏👏🚘....

As always a great video Harper! Love that Golf R and good work as always :D

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks David 👊🏼 I use to have a white one. Probably my favourite car!

[@tht140ixx]

Cant go wrong with BH product range 😎

[@nickychavda]

Great video as always, can I ask though why you decon the alloys first then clean them and not the other way round ? I am sure there is a logical reason.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I usually do it if the wheels aren’t too dirty. If they were very dirty then I would probably use a strong wheel clean followed by an iron remover 👍🏼

[@MT-kx2uc]

Those exhaust tips are playing hell with my ocd.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

How do you mean?

[@eamonkelly2792]

Great job as always, the golf looks great, where did you get the Koch Chemie wax from? It looks like new 👍👍👍

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks Eamon. I bought it from ‘clean and shiny’. Slims Detailing are the official distributor so they stock it too 👍🏼

Loving the videos mate. What camera do you use if you don't mind me asking?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thank you! I use a canon 250d 👊🏼

[@marcodeavila3988]

[@deanbennett5343]

Really love your work methods, very efficient. How does koch chemie pw compare with gyeon can coat or Angelwax blue rinse? What's the durability like? Thanks

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thanks Dean 👊🏼 Gyeon can coat is more of a lite ceramic, or do you mean wet coat where you spray on and rinse off? If so, they are very similar. I don’t necessarily use it for protection, more as a rinsing/drying aid 👍🏼

[@deanbennett5343]

@@HarpersCarDetailing yes sorry I did mean wet coat. I wanted something for my daughters car. What about kkd purity x would you class this better than the koch?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

@@deanbennett5343 I haven’t tried the KKD product so wouldn’t be able to say. I would personally choose a paste wax such as Collinite 845 if you are wanting a little more longevity, whilst still keeping easy application.

[@tommo6586]

Is the cronos gel not supposed to be used without steel wool and for inside the exhaust tip only?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

It can be used on the entire exhaust and with it without steel wool. 0000 is safe to use, and Cronos lubricates it very well. I also don’t apply any pressure and rely on the chemical to for the work

[@vahidb.l.v.s1314]

Good job 💎💎💎 What type of camera you use ?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Thank you 👍🏼 Canon 250d. I use to just use my iPhone before.

[@-TJ-]

Very nice, A bit of feedback: Your videos (narration and background noise) seem to be a lot quieter relative to other videos, it might need adjusting.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Are they quieter that my usual videos as this time I actually turned everything up.

[@stuarth902]

@@HarpersCarDetailing the narration level was absolutely fine

[@-TJ-]

@@HarpersCarDetailing It's been a bit quiet since the Mini JCW. If you watch the Macan S video, the audio is more normal.

[@-TJ-]

@@HarpersCarDetailing This one isn't too bad on re-evaluation.

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

@@-TJ- ahh, I switched from using my iPhone to my DSLR camera so I’ll have a look at the camera volume settings as well. I use an external mic but there might be some internal settings

[@floflorian6085]

What is the ration of auto foam you use in the snow foam lance ?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

I aim for 4% PIR 👍🏼

[@WhySoSeriously101]

Would like to see how you clean and finish windows, it’s something I’ve always struggled to do! I always get watermarks or smearing

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

If it’s the outside then I only dry them first. Leaves them streak free and lubricates the towel before touching the paint 👍🏼

[@craiglockley9939]

Why do you not use BH Autowheels?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Korrosol cleans just as well in my opinion. Auto wheels is thicker so doesn’t spray on as well either. You can use Korrosol on the entire car so save having to buy 2 similar chemicals.

[@bryanpalanca1274]

what is that wheel chenille mitt are you using? any links on that? thanks!

[@brandontongue9040]

It’s from a company called clean your ride I believe mate 👍

It certainly is! Well spotted 👊🏼

How much time did this detail take?

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

Around around 1 1-1/2 hours

[@borisjohnson7553]

Just imagine having a golf R as a company car Lucky

[@HarpersCarDetailing]

If you own a helicopter company I imagine you have a bit of cash floating around.

[@-TJ-]

There is a home blinds company in Australia and I keep seeing their company cars are all Golf R's, GTI's, Audi Q5s, etc.

What grade of steel wool do you use on the exhaust tips?

It should be listed in the video, but 0000 👍🏼
