Yeah I wish I could clean my transit connect lol
That channel 5 episode is brilliant. Brought over the UA-cam magic you do. Great once again
Thanks Thomas I'm on tomorrow night's episode too 🙏
@@epicautomotivedetailing can't wait
I absolutely love the outlook on life and what's important and the aspects of life where you should grind and where it's okay to take a breath once in awhile
Thank you for noticing my friend
@@epicautomotivedetailingOf course! They're absolutely right about emulating the successful people you can, and I think you do a brilliant job of showing success is about more than just grinding yourself down for 60+ hours a week.
Sometimes that hour of space we make so we can wash Pop's car, or take the kids to the park, is the most important hour of the week. It's all necessary to be truly successful in life.
Brilliant stuff best of luck with the new product
Thanks mate appreciate it 🙏
I am so thankfull - or should I say grateful, that you don't undercranc your videos - inspite of your US detailers - that you ever so awfull much - your my man
thank you very much
Great content Dave, been following for 1 year and half and you have helped me so much, thank you!
Thanks so much my friend for the super thanks. That's really cheered me up today 🙏🙏🙏
I love your presenting it's honest and entertaining, just like the chap who does the carwow features...anyway, following your comments I went to JMS & now I'm now the proud owner of a Nilfisk P180... what a fantastic machine, now waiting on my stubby gun... thanks for all the tips.
thanks Les thats very kind of you to say
So thankful I found this channel before starting my journey in this industry with my detailing cart. Invaluable information in all of your videos mate! This channel is going to be massive.
Thanks Gavin I'm filming a real good video tomorrow all about starting up a business. I'm actually creating a dedicated business channel because I have so much info I need to share
You didn't tell me you were filming my backside. Iam not sure the car valeting community needed that. Dad😂🤣
Lol takes the pressure off me for a change. Stops my stalker sending me screenshots 😂
Are you hoping for rear of the year Dad
@@slowsteadysteve6565 lol
Nice Arse Anthony 🤣
@@slowsteadysteve6565 I didn't think my a........is big enough to take part in that.lol😂

I almost spat my brew out when I seen you on the TV😮 keep climbing pal👍
Thanks Mate i Should be on every monday now for the next 7 weeks
Good luck mate, you've had the balls to get stuck in when you see the opportunities. You are an inspiration and your down to earth approach is a winner.
When do we call you Sir? Only joking, but I for one will support you with your products.
All the best.
Thanks mate. I'm just very lucky to be able to have backing from infinity Wax. Is good fun trying new formulas especially when you find one that stands out
Can't wait to grab some bits 👍 brilliant vid as always. Top man Dave.
Thanks Chris ⭐
Great to see your own range of products coming Dave.
I feel the time is right 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing I'll have to get some shampoo, still on the cheapy car plan ultra you mentioned a few years ago 😂

Thank you very much 🙏
Wow what a great video the cat walks off🤣🤣.I cannot wait to purchase your products Dave especially the last product wow the reflective shine on ya dad's car looked incredible.
Thanks Paul. It's nice to have the cat back in the video lol
Nice man. Good to see you going places. If anyone deserves it it’s you. Good luck mate.

Awsome video Dave

Thanks Kevin. Appreciate it 🙏
Thank you for the video Dave. Good to see your wife's and dad's car getting some epic car care attention. Full credit to you for pursuing your dream, and I wish you every success in your exciting new adventure.
Thanks Karl. It's my van that needs a sorting out
Hi Dave, Ive been using IW products for years and i have to say, teaming up with them is going to an Amazing & EPIC :) journey for you.
Michael and Ollie have been making (IMO) the BEST car detailing products out there for years. So much bang for your buck so to speak. Looking forward to more of your content. i may even get some of my own done soon.
Thanks very much. Yeah the more time I spend with them the more I realize how brilliant they are at manufacturing
Always great vid💯 as always also some funny moment filming with your dad.😎 your new products sound great.
Thanks Paul appreciate all the support as always 🙏
Dave your an absolute legend mate and have inspired me to get cleaning cars again (for fun). You deserve every success pal 👍
Thanks Steve thats very kind of you
Have you stolen my identity 😂
@@stevenjackson9721 wait, what have I told you about following me around the internet! It’s not cool Steven 😂
Products from Epic - can’t wait …. Looking forward to placing orders. Don’t forget to sell large packs of 13A fuses for AVA users! Thanks for the tip on the chunky extension lead. Hayden
Lol I know right those blooming fuses.
Good luck dave on the launch of your products! Nice one. Great vid as ever, all the best!
Thanks Robert 🙏
Glad you got onto channel 5 😊 do like your honest side to detailing or car valeting, i must admit I am getting fed up with so called car washer calling themselves car detailers. By the way you look like your Dad 🤷♂🤷♂😂😂
Thanks Jason. The problem is people tend to be ridiculed if they say they are anything else other than a Detailer. It's known as different things all over the world. I did detailing day in day out and got fed up. I did paint correction today and it made me realize how much I don't miss it. I prefer being out and about getting stuck on bits. Otherwise it can be lonely
@@epicautomotivedetailing Glad your honest on car cleaning in general, as I always trying to be a better car cleaner on my own cars 😊
Great video as always nice to see you doing your own vehicle, that spray sealant looks amazing have to get my self some of that
Thanks Karl. Looking forward to releasing it
ONE BUCKET METHOD it works just as good as long as cars not seriously filthy , large bucket fill up (15/20ltrs) wash as normal just shake the wash pad/mitt in top half of bucket , by time you come back to reload , dirt has sank to bottom of bucket (yes you will use a little more shampoo maybe but the ratios on a majority of them is really good)
Nice one glad to hear it. 😃
@@epicautomotivedetailing I wash my car with a foam wash and a rinse bucket with a grit guard, does the trick. Great vids, keep it up.
Never used a bucket in my life to clean a car let alone two of them. That sealant coating looks the bollox on your dad's car and i tried that turtle wax ceramic coating again and it's still shite. Great video, cheers.
Thanks mate yeah my stuff will have no problems against that
@@epicautomotivedetailing Well i look forward to buying and trying, cheers mate.
I have a very nice CLS. Always washed with the one bucket. If your water is dirty then you need to change your pre-wash 🙄
Exactly
Exciting times Dave,wishing you much luck with EA. Remember you couldn’t have done it without Dad👏😛
Thanks mate 😃
Thanks Dave, great vid as always! Very enjoyable! Re the new product range I’d love to see before and after shots close up and in the sun to really show off it’s potential. 👍
Sure thing the fiat Punto clips are on Instagram in direct sunlight. Car wash cleaned on hottest day too
If you want to seriously test your product do it on a semi truck. You get 1 wash every 2 weeks and can manage/ check the product under harsh conditions. If it survived il buy a full kit at full price for my audi.
To be honest I test these on my clients cars some are done weekly, monthly so I've had very positive feedback. I think the best bit about them is the lack of effort needed to get the right results
Love the video Dave and the new merchandise & logo
Thanks mate thats very kind
Wishing you all the luck in the world,I have the SGS stubby gun and the snowfoam canon
Thanks Harry very kind of you
You should try angelwax products like angelwax cleanliness just foam it and rinse you wont be needing pre wash and snowfoam. After that just schampo the car :)
Good to see the business expanding as well as the TVs show..
your hard work and dedication has paid off..
I am looking at Ava pressure washers mostly be for the wife to use and her son when he washes his car or bike ..
Does the fuse issue I keep hearing about only happen when you use a extension lead.. or a extension lead that's not rated to handle the current draw.
I know it is not advised. To use kranzle on a extension lead as it can damage them.
It seems to be mainly just the p80 from what others say. The p60 is actually plenty good enough for most people
@@epicautomotivedetailing
My brother has the small portable one and it has been faultless..
I know the kranzle he has I was with him when he purchased it and the guy at the shop advised against using a extension lead due to the high current draw and resistance in the cable over long distances. Or something like that I wasn't really paying attention.
Does the p80 still blow fuses even if it is plugged directly into the mains wall socket. And not via a extension lead.
A detailers car is always the last to get corrected haha, im in the same position with mine
I don't think I will ever get mine corrected. I just don't have the time anymore.
Love it and yes you are lucky to people like us that watch lol personally I don't dream of the money cars on the vids but I do fancy a bit of Korean mild steel. When I get a bit flush I'll be looking at the epic shop. Good work Dave and dad keep it up.
Thanks very much. Maybe Dad will sell you his Kia if he ever upgrades
Hello Dave great video, typical weather cleaning the Fiat 500,it changes so much lol the new product interesting to see what happens.
Thanks Steven. My nans fiat Punto at the end had the new sealant on. It's definitely one that people will love
Another good one mate! 👌🏻
Thanks mate was a bit of a faff because i lost so much footage due to my own fault
In fairnesa i never used to 2 bucket unless it was a classic or a special car under light and thats the thing unless its under light most of this stuff is not easily seen. Most modern cars the paints are protected alot better and a bit more durable. Especially if they have that stuff put on forgot the name something brite
Sorry dave I left a comment on her indoors account lol love the vid and I am dreaming of a bit of Korean mild steel. One for dad here, aldi have done the good old penguin bars by calling theirs seal lmao quality and they cost less. Keep it up mate
Seal bars are legendary 😂. I'm loving the fake Cornetto ice creams at the moment from Aldi
@@epicautomotivedetailing be careful they don't get hold of the Epic range and call it biblical acidic pH friendly to rabbit snow foam. When it goes live be sure to let on where to get it all .
Amazing, can't wait to see the products etc.
Thanks Mike. I think people will love them. I've tested so many variations I finally have the best ones ready
Fantastic video as always Dave and always great to see you're Dad
Cheers Mark. Im back on the telly in 10 mins on channel 5star. Got a great car in this one lol
Fantastic Video😎
Thanks very much
Usual great quality video Dave. You do need to get your dad in them regularly for additional comedic effect 🤣🤣
Thanks mate
Good to see you back in action! You didn't leave a link for them gloves by the way. 🙃
Lol oh crikey yes I'll do that. Been manic day I always update the videos so I'll get on that asap
nice one Dave, love your methodology, big fan of 1 bucket method and IW products. You can do what you like with your own car. 👍😁
Thanks Iain. I think people get so caught up on all these methods but for me my cars aren't special enough to warrant me spending ages on them
Wishing you every Success in your new venture and show us your products which I hope you can ship to southern Ireland 🇮🇪 because I like to try good finishes to my cars
Hi mate I'm working on it. Will be looking for a seller in Ireland perhaps so I can shift it all in bulk maybe. Let me get back to you. Thanks very much 🙏
Great video big man x
Thanks my friend 🙏
Great video looking forward to reviewing your products on my channel.
Thanks mate
Sometimes when I'm doing multiple vechiles in the heat I ask myself the same question.
It's so tough. I'm actually praying for cooler weather now
@@epicautomotivedetailing Me Too!
been using IW for the last 3 years and they are great, i would highly suggest the bug remover stays in the van come summer though as even as good as their citrus wash is summer time bugs need that oomph that comes from the dedicated product
Yeah they are epic. I've not actually tried that yet. Definitely looking into it but then again we haven't had a fraction of the bugs we normally get in the summer
Great video Dave, wait to see your products👍🏻
Cheers mate. Can't wait to release them. Almost ready
@@epicautomotivedetailing great stuff💫
Another good video Dave good luck with your products I will definitely try them . What snow foam cannon would you recommend for a karcher k series not a top of the range one but not one that leaks
Cheers Stuart. Anything mtm is the very best in my opinion
Good luck on the launch Dave! I’ll definitely will be trying your products out. Where will they be sold? And what are if any the promotion deals? Sorry can’t wait
Hi mate they will start off online. I will be doing promotions soon but not straight away because I need to actually earn some money back from this venture. (Kinda spent a fortune lol)
@@epicautomotivedetailing I understand so I will support you when you launch! You deserve all the good things that’s coming to you mate cos it’s obvious you’ve put in the hard work over all them years.
LETS GOOOO! Welcome back man!
Thanks mate I'll be more frequently filming we just having a mad spell
Epic Honesty 😎
I blame you for my expensive addiction to yum cars!!!!!!!
Lol I hope you're addicted to Epic Automotive car care
@@epicautomotivedetailing haha, tried fusso again last night, doesn't have the wet gloss look poor boys Natty's wax has ☹️ will try yum wax sometime 🤣
Great video, can’t wait to try that ceramic detailer. When will it be available?
Hi mate I do have a ceramic detailer but this isnt one of them. this is a sealant so its durability would be a minimum of around 8 months depending on how you maintain it
@@epicautomotivedetailing 👌👍
Hi Dave, congratulations on your own products, when they become available how and where will you sell them. Once again well done.
Hello mate. They will be available in about 2 weeks time. We have a website set up just need to do pictures now with products for the site and we good to go
Great video Dave, good too take a day for yourself. And cleaning up the wife car
if the weather held up lol
Hi m8 just out of interest what an wish do you use to protect your plastic trim on the outside of the car ? .
Cheers an all the best with what your doing with channel 5.
You earned it all the best
Thanks Stewart. to be honest I use a variety of products as i get all sorts i dont have one favourite one. my dressings are good but some leave a greasy residue.
1 year later the weather is still the same
Whaaaaaaaat!! That's huge! Congrats and best of luck on the launch!!!
Cheers mate appreciate it
Nice video pal. What kind of extension lead do you use for the Nilfisk ? I’ve got a Nilfisk as well but find the power doesn’t seem to be the same when using an extension lead but I need one as occasionally the socket is too far away
Hi mate I never heard that with this machine . Which one is it?
@@epicautomotivedetailing I have the premium 200
Great video. I’m getting my car ready for a new Sealant or wax. I was going to use Garage therapy Decon wash then going to clay bar Plus use autoglym polish. What would you recommend for the best protection I could use plus great gloss.
Thanks very much. Sorry for late reply 🙂
You and your old man are like twins, but 30 year's a part 😊
Lol 🤣
The UK is the meca for detailing valet and hand washing IMO. Which is ironic since you guys have shit for weather lol plus Sahara dust or something. If I ever traveled any where. It would be the UK. You guys have some awesome slang lol.
Lol we sure do
As a 16 year old in the US wanting to start a detailing business what should my first steps be.
I've got the Nilfisk E 145 bar 145.4-9 X-TRA PAD - which connectors or adapter would you recon I'll need or did you need for your Nilfisk to connect your favorite stubby gun ???
Do I need a stubby gun or will I be OK with just the pressure washer lance
What product do you use for the scratches on your dads car I’ve got a deep metallic blue and it’s a nightmare 😢😅
Hi mate what did you use to cover the scratches on your dads Kia cheers Matt
Epic Automotive Sealant. Not out yet though
How was it you solved the problem of fuses blowing in the ave p80
No mate had so many problems in testing this week
How many men does it take to detail a car?….
50! 1 to detail the car and 49 to say how they’d have done it different!!!!
Hi buddy u got a link to the gloves?
Just updated thanks mate
Is that infinity wax synergy lite?
Nope not at all. This isn't a ceramic coating. No sio2. This is a paint sealant which has different properties. No products will be the same. I have worked directly with them on these chemicals. I wanted chemicals that worked in the way I feel beginners would get on with them 👌
Is there a specific reason why you rinse from bottom to top?
Not really no mate lol
@@epicautomotivedetailing i was think rinse from top because the all the dirt from the top doesnt go over the lower parts that is already rinsed? Or no difference?
@@ChrisDied there's many methods which I've talked about many times before in Videos but for dad's car it's wrecked anyways so we didn't really care this time
@@epicautomotivedetailing yeah i get that, but have seen in most of your videos that you rinse from the bottom... was just wondering... thanks for the replies!
What’s this tv show Dave?
Channel 5. My 5 app. Amazing cleans it's still on there. I was on 7 episodes
Why didn't you just use a shampoo snow foam then use a rinse bucket?
Not my preferred method mate. Not for me
@@epicautomotivedetailing No problem, not my preferred either just curious.
@@jonnyb4271 it's not a method I would use. I have a strict routine for my clients cars and now have such a good system it's what makes me Clean cars quicker so I just wouldn't change it
@@epicautomotivedetailing 2 bucket method?
@@jonnyb4271 I use 2 buckets for my clients, one for my own. My cars are crap they don't really mean anything to me
Shut up and take my money! Like release it already 🤣
I can take your money early if you like 😂
I thought you had a ford galaxy dave is it good on petrol why did you buy a black car lol silver all of the way
I got a ford smax and a van aswell. This was just a run around car for short trips
@@epicautomotivedetailing good luck with the new adventure dave

I am a detailer but unfortunately I have dyspraxia which means I am very uncoordinated. This has led me to accidentally spill products on the inside of the cars that have damaged them. I also accidentally scratched a number of cars I was detailing, quite badly. Not my fault but the owners have threatened to sue me and my business has gone now. Please can someone help me. I want to continue with this work but I need money for products as im now broke. thanks
If you are insured??? then it's no problems for them to fix
@@epicautomotivedetailing absolutely correct. Yes, I am insured. Thanks for your reply bro 👍
@@jb-nn8sk pleasure 😃
