      Lovely looking car!
      Over than the M cars, I would agree 👌🏼
      Annoyingly so. I have a water mineral removal which I attach to the pressure washer for a final rinse, that way I avoid water spots

    Beautiful finish Nick. Just started using Koch Chemie FSE. Really impressed with the product, helps with the hard water in my area and leaves a nice finish.

      Great product isn’t it! I sometimes use it as a drying aid, either spraying it on the wet surface before I wipe it, or in the towel

    Awesome car. Kind of a dream one. Great work and I really enjoy your videos.
    Just a small suggestion if you could add the description even for your equipment that you use? Snow foam lance, towels used, etc. etc. That would help trying to find recommended products apart from shampoos and stuff.
    Thanks!

      Top man! Don’t know how easy it is, but it’s a nice touch really. Sometimes I’m fed up with all the product comparisons from UA-camrs, but eventually you say I’ll get what this guy uses. It works for him! 😂
      Keep up the good work! Thanks

    Another great video Mr Harper. I laughed when you flipped that bottle of Chemical Guys over. In America, their products are considered watered down Walmart junk with 20 products doing the same exact thing. Anyway if their water spot remover works for you then who is anyone to judge?

      I always flip bottle, I can’t help it.
      This, unfortunately, is the only product of theirs I like. It’s really good, and very viscous so it stays on the panel 👍🏼

      This particular detail is a 1 day (what can I do in a day) detail. It’s my most popular detail as it’s perfect for a daily driver and for someone looking to enhance gloss whilst removing 80% of defects

    Lovely car and great job on it. I notice you stick to the same chemicals mainly and, clearly they're good and work perfectly well, I'm just wondering if you try different products from time to time?

      @Harper's Car Detailing there are few I like the look of, especially the shampoo. I used the Synergy Lite, excellent little product. I'd like to go up the chain on their ceramics but I don't have a garage, so lite will do. Thanks for replying 🙂

    • @HarpersCarDetailing

      I wouldn’t worry about having a garage for ceramic coatings.
      95% of the coatings I do are outside, I just don’t post any videos as the key board warriors would come out at full force.
      Just make sure there is a clear day with no rain

    Does the clay bar not introduce marring? If done with that lubrication?

    • @HarpersCarDetailing
      @HarpersCarDetailing  Рік тому +2

      Not at all. This particular foam is very lubricating.
      The whole car was machine polished anyway, so any marring would have been removed.
      I didn’t notice any when Inspecting the paint before polishing.

    Leaving the wristband of your wash mitt exposed will scratch your paint. You should consider using a wash pad instead. Nice work otherwise! 😊
