    1,000,000 thumbs up for keeping it real about the tar and iron work. A couple of wipes isn’t cutting it. The same goes for bugs.

      @HarpersCarDetailing  3 роки тому +9

      Yeah you can. Glass is very hard so would be able to take a hard clay, but I always use a soft medium clay as I rely on chemicals.

      No problem 👍🏼
      It just made sense to me as it’s so much easier to wash it off than buff it off.
      When you rinse it off you can also see if any of the glass still needs polishing as it will sheet water still.

      @@HarpersCarDetailing no I’m afraid I didn’t. I’m a bit of a beginner you see and I was just using what I had in my garage - Autoglym polar blast, Autoglym pure shampoo, BILT hamber white clay bar (spray bottle of autoglym pure shampoo as lubricant), Autoglym SRP and then turtle wax ceramic spray sealant to finish off. I even used muc off bike cleaner to clean the engine bay and door Jams with a detailing brush because I didn’t have any APC and it’s a fairly safe product to use. The car was covered in tar spots and I had some Autoglym intensive tar remover to hand but since that stuff doesn’t come in a spray bottle but a regular one; it’s a bit tedious scrubbing off the tar spots one by one. I think I’ll buy some Surfex HD, Korosoll, cleaner polish and stronger spray tar remover to complete my collection. Cleaner polish should deal with clay bar marring by hand shouldn’t it?

    Why do you go from bottom to top ???? I don't understand u

    • @HarpersCarDetailing
      @HarpersCarDetailing  3 роки тому +3

      The only reason I rinse from the bottom up is so I can see exactly where I have been with my pressure washer, as it’s the pressure of the water that removes the underlying dirt.
      If you started from the top then you would dilute the foam below and it would run off the panel, so you don’t necessarily know when you have been, therefore you could very easily miss a spot. Whereas if you start from the bottom you can see exactly where you have been and can use the above foam as a guide as it remains in place.
      After that, you only need to very quickly rinse from the top to remove any leftover product or debris.
