The Guru - The people's detailer.
Exactly Phil : av watched many a u tube detainers but “hey “ he takes
Some beating 🇬🇧🍺👍🏻
You alright Phil long time no see, how’s the kids and wife?
@@SebAxton 👌🏽👍🏽
Autoshine Cars - is people's detailer
CCG is pretty most of the vids - rich people's detailer
AMMO NYC - details aircrafts and incredible other vehicles.
@@NoOnesIdea everyone's entitled to their own valid opinion, but all I'll say is he's not called The Guru for no reason...
5:55 first time I’ve ever seen the guru show he’s actually human 👌🏾 thank you for showing not everyone is perfect
This guy can probably clean the whole world from CoronaVirus
£100 mill and I’ll get my gloves!
Lol
@@CarCleaningGuru DO IT
@@CarCleaningGuru At £100m it would be a bargain, the FTSE alone is erasing in the order of £XXbn/day currently. 😅
What a gem. Beautiful work man.
All the chemicals in the world and it takes a 20 plus odd year old can of gunk to clean the engine.
Cant fix something that isn't broke I suppose
Damn environmentalists
Stfu
5:54 thats why we love him. Every UA-camr would have cut this out. Not the GURU. Love it :-D.. realist cleaning videos on youtube. !!
You take car detailing to a whole new level that helped me realized my OCD isn't as bad as i thought it was. Bravo props my man!
As long as the engine isn't hot you should be fine to clean the engine. At 19 years old I did that, and cracked the block on my Camaro. Lesson learned
Hello there
I am working as an car body mechanic and we remove this wax first with an hot air dryer and and paper towels because when ist gets hot it melts and then you can easy whipe it of and as last step we use an Silicon and wax remover from standox to whipe it all of. This realy works great.
Ok I’ll remember that for the future. I didn’t bother with heat as it hadn’t previously felt any softer when the engine bay was hot.
@@CarCleaningGuru A hot water waterblaster (pressure washer) has seen me right with 30 year old BMW engine bay Cosmoline.
Iv just used a cheap steam cleaner on the wax stuff on my car pulled it of really easy.
back in the days he was a big storyteller...today he clean cars with the best commentary ever :)
Looks great! It’s a great feeling when your engine bay looks that nice.
Great video. The Z car is looking mint. Just a tip for anyone with coilovers, make sure you cover up the top mounts to prevent water ingress to the bearings. 👍
First time I cleaned my engine bay I put it back in the garage with a feeling of a job well done. Next morning I got a panicking phone call from the wife saying there's smoke coming from the engine!
Turns out it was the same thing, de greaser residue on the exhaust header.
Pro tip - if you are going to do the same, warn the missus!!
Love your work by the way!
I love this guy's videos but the look my wife gives me when she hears his voice is hilarious
Get a divorce mate
Joel Hopwood hahaha same here!
I have a G35 and I've given up on keeping the engine bay clean. I've never had a car that attracted so much dust and dirt; not even my Land Rovers, which went off-road regularly. Now, I just spray off the loose stuff, shrug my shoulders and close the hood. This guy does such good work, I'm jealous.
This is actually an engine where these kind of air filters look really nice on. Looking forward to hearing the roar of the V6!
On these VQ engines (at least the 3.5 liter from the previous generation Z car), you only really notice after 4000rpm, at which point they absolutely howl. It has to be one of the nicest sounding engines out there with an open air kit like this over the dampened air boxes.
RavenousJoe These hot air intakes are worse than stock as they suck in only hot air from the engine bay. Only long tubes work well on this car.
You have likely heard this comment before, but I find your videos soooooooooooo relaxing. I enjoy watching your OCD at work detailing cars, but just as much I enjoy your commentary, and your voice. After a day at work, it's therapeutic!
bolts on new intake:
*Built not Bought*
why you gotta hate?
@@leoozwow7234 its a joke mate
At least he fitted them himself... I know plenty of people that would say build not brought but have other people fit a CAI for them
So true! Once cleaned, a monthly wipe down with APC or quick detailer will be all you'd need to do. I love covering plastics and rubber with Autoglym Vnynil and Rubber and Sonax Brilliant shine detailer for metal/painted surfaces. Cheap and cheerful way to keep engine bay looking outstanding.
This vehicle didn't leave the production line looking this clean under the bonnet, what a super job.
I need to tidy up my engine bay, previous owner didn't seem to do anything at all and the engine cover is, well, covered in dirt and grime not to mention the rest of the bay being generally kind of a mess. This video has inspired me to really get to it whenever it finally stops snowing! Thanks Guru
I always breath a sigh of relief when my M3 starts after pressure washing the engine bay!
I really enjoyed it, this is got to be one of your best videos. Far be it for me but it really shows how your channel has really revolved over the years.. Just a fan from Detroit..
Evolved! The alliteration is simply stratospheric these days.
I cleaned my Polo's engine bay this week for the first time following your method, and it worked like a charm! I covered the alternator & battery with bags, and a couple of areas with exposed wiring. I was a bit apprehensive about doing it, but I feel much better about doing it a second time after taking the plunge!
Really love these vids!
Showing cleaning in real time rather than loads of sped up time laspe.
Much more satisfying to watch
I feel like I’m watching the National Geographic of cars with his voice
Recently bought a pre-owned 2018 Nissan Rogue (They call it a Nissan Rogue here in Canada besides the X-Trail). I clean it once in a while and use all the cleaning methods from these videos. Thank you for helping me for my car care and you earn a subscribe from me.
Nice one!
Thank you! I clean the Nissan once in a while from the exterior and the interior. I use both Chemical Guys and Autoglym products to wash my 2018 Nissan Rogue. It looks brand new every time I spend hours cleaning it.
I clean my engine bay too but I still havent dare to put water and cleaning product directly onto it, takes a lot of courage! I will watch the video again and try one day finally:) Thanks!
Didn’t know the engine bay could take that much water without breaking! Learn something new everyday
The amusing amount of alliteration in this very good video was wholly humerous to hear.

pure curiosity; what kind of music do you listen while detailing?
I was halfway through putting an absolute belter of a playlist video together recently then realised the copyright police would have shut me down so aborted mission 🙄.
@@CarCleaningGuru sounds fair
@@CarCleaningGuru could you create an actual playlist on your channel and then give us a link in the description ?
@@CarCleaningGuru Spotify!
Magic Yeh could do, I just wanted to make a dedicated music video to answer the question.
Black Gunk is the best smelling cleaner in the world, i used it on my motor bikes for years and that fresh warm engine vapors that it would produce was like nothing else. That and Castrol R nothing smelt better than a ride out after an all day clean of the crotch rocket
That engine bay looks great. Just goes to show that sometimes the old school products (like Gunk) are still the best. I hope the interior vid is coming up soon. Cheers.
I had the K&N intakes on my 370z, sounded SWEEEEEET!
Can’t hear them over the short tails 😩.
@@CarCleaningGuru Put a mic/camera in the engine bay and do some pulls. Should hear em in those clips.
I have to say, these videos are such a guilty pleasure! Glad to see you went the extra effort with the nice heat shields, nothing worst than heat soak effecting horsepower.
Great stuff and keep it up 👌👌
This is so relaxing to watch
1:31 the seagulls preparing to shat on the cleanest car in the neighborhood
I honestly would never trust my self to clean my engine like that! You’ve clearly got balls because I’m scared of that! I normally just use a detailing brush and a bit of engine bay degreaser work it in and wipe away! Great video, very satisfying to watch!
BMW M-Sport H Don’t be scared to do it, i have an E90 and the trick is to cover the alternator and don’t aim the pressure washer too close to the intake side, that will avoid hydro locks in the engine, they are prepared from factory to resist a lot of water up to certain point. Just be gentle with the distance of the water and don’t point the nozzle in the same spot during several seconds... i have doing this already 6 year with my BMW and so far not a single issue!!! 👍
Nothing wrong with jetting a modern engine. Just don't go too hard certain areas. (umm)
Do mine before it goes for a service.. The service guys really appreciate it! ;)
Your videos are always worth the wait. A very thorough job done on the Nismo too. By the way, it is many years since I used Gunk but am pretty sure it wasn’t that colour!
you have no idea how calming and pleasant it is to have your videos in self-quarantine. even if you're stupid enough not to adhere to it.
You deserve 1M subs! Always amazing camera work, with excellent narration and top notch detailing. Keep it up man!
A cultured Liverpool accent, how refreshing, coming from a Brummy btw😃
Four questions... Do you worry about harsher products etching or degrading the alloy components in the engine bay? Do you worry about the overspray onto the fenders/wings / mudguards and windshield (removing waxes or water spots)? and have you considered an under-bonnet insulation blanket - for a clean look and sound / heat control? and finally, do you ever use a portable air blower / air compressor and nozzle to blow the water out of cracks and crevices between stages?
While fighting against the covid-19 virus, is this video more than welcome!!!
I was scared to do my E230 i got like a week ago but last time i got my previous E230 my dad just covered the alternator. My E230 is n/a and from 98 so way less electronics than your 370Z, i'll give it a try! nice video
Lovely Jubbly, thorough if nothing else.
There is a visible difference yet, in the before and after ;) Super nice.
Sod’s law the lighting in the b4 made it look cleaner haha.
Good to see Gunk used again. That stuff works on everything:)
Tell you what... you must have the cleanest drive in the world. So many cleaning products have been sprayed onto it from all of the car cleaning videos.
Don’t forget that your air mass sensors will need cleaning occasionally from the oil residue that will contaminate them from the filters. The original filter set up works better, just doesn’t sound so good.
These are dry filters.
I wipe my engine bay clean with a damp cloth every wash, if you keep it clean it’s easier clean too
Got memes? I like to do the same, i think it is better in order to avoid the engine to get very dirty!!! Every wash with a damp microfiber all over the engine bay on either engine part 👍
I had that yellow funk on my new Jeep GC. I used APC and some elbow grease to get it off.
I think that stuff on the shock towers could well be a factory applied mastic for preventing rust. Perhaps older models suffered from fatal corrosion in that area? Seems like a good idea unless it's a garage queen. I apply an oil coating to the undercarriage and engine bay of my cars, wish they had something from factory.
That moment i realise its more entertaining to watch someone clean a car, than clean my own car .. The only time my car gets a clean is when it gets serviced, which is about a year haha.
i worked for peugeot in the 80's and their cars had that wax on from the factory too, we used jizer on a rag to remove it, its a bit easier than gunk
Nice job bud 👍🏻 Hello from your Uncle Mike's workmate (I just found this out the other day!) 👋🏼😂
Haha, brilliant!
@@CarCleaningGuru Yep, he's a top bloke, we started together 😊
Just hope you keep your assault rifle ceramic coated!
Car Cleaning Guru I use something called WD40 for it, works a treat 😉 Also, a big thanks to you and your videos, they've been a big help for me in helping to keep my cars tip top. Much easier now with the right kit. Cheers 🍻
Great end result, love the new look with the k&n filters and oil cap.
Probably will have some power gains now that the heat shields are in place or at least a snappier throttle response.
Great work guru 👍🏽
I reckon I need a remap to see any gains but they certainly look and sound good!
@@CarCleaningGuru I'm sure they do I can't wait to hear in the next video
Basic stage 1 map you'd probably get to about 370bhp and 390nm torque roughly which personally I'd say is plenty of fun and wouldn't really need more power than that
Awesome work Guru! Be careful not to have the car running to lean with that intake. I have a Subaru STI, and when installing an intake it needs to have a ECU tune to compensate for that increased air.
Good job putting water into PVC hoses (next to throttle bodies on each side of the engine). Great cleaning but change the oil as soon as you can.
The breather hoses were replaced with new ones included in the kit before the intake was installed and the old ones connected to small plastic catch tanks so highly doubt even one drop got in.
I bet your wife or girlfriend is so thankful he is a neat clean guy.......that’s a rare find in most men. And I love his cleaning tips too.
Thank you for dropping the bonnet shut instead of lowering it then pressing on it.
These videos soothe me... and make me feel like a right asshole when I look at my x-trail that hasn’t been washed by myself in 2 years except for the occasional 10,000km Nissan service quick-wash-job by the dealer lol
Always like your attention to detail on cleaning the engine bay, also those 2 k&n filters look great in the engine bay. Great detailing as always👍👏😄
Brilliant, every minute was spot on!
Hey Guru! Extreme detailing to the n'th degree, some might say just a tad too much O.C.D. there, but all i can say is just look at the result, breathtaking, another level! All power to you, absolutely amazing! 👑👌👍😆
The Wax or more commonly know as cavitywax you encountered is pretty heat sensitive! If I deal with this stuff I get myself a heat source and paper towels. just lay the paper towels on the wax and heat it up a bit, the towel will absorb the wax and leave only little behind that can be wiped away
I did consider something like this but it seemed no softer when the engine bay was hot 🤷♂️.
@@CarCleaningGuru That's too bad... I always had luck with that method, maybe Nissan uses a different kind or something on their cars/engine bays
Good
Like your videos fella. Good to see you have no brand loyalty and choose to use products that actually work. Only problem is watching your video I feel like i need to get off my arse and clean mine 🤣👍
CCG, you come by for satisfying detailing but stay for the unlikely Brummy ASMR ☺️☺️☺️
Good work! Wish we could get that water-based dressing here in the US. I was thinking that if you want to "spot-remove" any more of that wax that you discover during future cleans, maybe you can use a heat gun and wipe most of it away.
303 aerospace protectant and meguiars hyper dressing is basically the same.
@@CarCleaningGuru Thanks for the info! I would like to apply something that actually provides benefit and protection to the surfaces, rather than just temporary asthetics.
Hi, great video . Have you ever used Simple Green cleaner ?
You could have pop off the plastic cover off the engine . Big red cover . Clean under it . All connection are water proof.
dont worry too much about the bottom of the hood/bonnet. if you look closely on the bottom left it says it has been coated with minor scratch resistant coating.
I looked that up, pretty sure it’s the whole car, apparently Nissan was the first to implement it.
imagine buying a car off of this fellow. Would be clean as a whistle for sure!
Hey man! I love your videos and with your accent it's quite difficult to understand your sentences ( for a frenchi) but it's a good practice! You doing a great job, thanks for that!
Hi bud, love your channel. I find it very relaxing watching your good self taking the time to enjoy thoroughly cleaning your pride and joy.
One thing that had my ocd firing was the bonnet prop, I’d lose this and replace with a pair of gas struts for a cleaner, more modern look, in my opinion.
Keep up the good work my friend, cheers.
I hate it too, it’s because of the pop-up pedestrian safety bonnet. You can get a kit to replace the mechanisms and add struts but it costs about £400 I think!
Great job !, I like the clean fitting of sport air filters, it's cleaner than the original! 👍 👍 👍. Two dynamic carbon admissions would also have been great!
Great video appreciate if you could do another one of these on a dirty engine. Interested in the prep work and the process more.
Sieht mal wieder super aus
Lookin fresh mate! :-) love you keeping the guru bloopers in from time to time lol
Love the look. As you say the sound is the main thing. Should get that extra throaty induction noise now. Also when opening the bonnet yourself and seeing those K&N's there will be a few butterflies 😂.
I wonder if there's some sort of cover you could get for the header tank? Black, white or red would be amazing. Even though its clearly spotless it would be a nice touch for when you want to "pop your power bulge" ;-) Love the videos either way! One last thing - I'm blaming you for the silly amount I've spent of car cleaning products since the lockdown began!
Loved All Your videos to date!!!
Might I suggest next time that you use a steam gun to remove the wax, easier and it handles grease and dirty carpets as well. Worthy investment!
Love the video and your work even if I am a stock kind of guy. I cleaned my engine bay yesterday and it was long over due. So today it was time to apply dressing and make it shiny. Even if I am the only one who opens the bonnet it still is a nice feeling to know it is clean. I applied som gloss to the exterior of my old car aswell even if I know it will look like s*it again after the coming week. The winter here is cold. Snow slush and salt will take its toll.
Another guru video on this beautiful sunday morning 😊
Anyone else unashamedly pop their power bulge in public?
I did recently give the old st150 a deep clean under the hood for what seemed like the first time in its 15 years, was so satisfying I look for any excuse to show it off 🤣
No, the cops said that was illegal.......... ....oh, you mean show off my engine(s)?
sucks being a grower sometimes
Yeah. If you got it, flaunt it.
I buffed my chrome trumpets on my GTA recently🤔
If I'd spend the time watching your videos on detailing my cars.. well.. :-)
Excellent video, great attention to detail and such great narration 👍🏻
Can't wait to hear those two bad boys in action 👍🎌
My 2.2 tdci Smax would definitely benefit from one of these deep cleans.
Those dammed Detail Factory brushes are indeed rather slippery in the hands, dropped mine a couple of times as well. 🤣
Great attention to detail. Love watching all your videos.
Cool! really satisfying👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It’s clearly fate that this video popped up today as advice and inspiration to continue with my VW T5 engine bay clean which I started today. Thanks for the motivation.
Great video! Although I miss the eating on it part :P
That comes later...
Brilliant! Love cleaning my engine bay. Btw, if it snowed heavily, could you find your car? 😂
Always say the same, my engine bay is cleaner than most peoples interiors! Good video, just need a shiny radiator now :)
Great video. Your motor looks a treat. I look forward to hearing how she sounds.
Very inspirational. Keep up the good work 👍
Nice video, I had the same wax on my new VW and used the hot pressure washer in work and AS Tardis, to get it off. Not sure what got it off probably the heat and the PSI.
Looks great
