    As always all the products used in this video are linked in the description. Autobrite are currently running a mystery box which at the moment is the only way to try out Snow Fairy and two more of their unreleased products: www.autobritedirect.co.uk/product/autobrite-mystery-box/

    Another wonderful deep clean detail you have carried out. I love the pink-ish AB snow foam, could have lots of fun with that, but its nice to see a coloured one rather than white foam like most. The squid ink rim guard seems like a good great idea over a spray and rinse products and it seems easy to apply. As always Heather, your enthusiasm and charisma is fantastic.

    Once again, I must compliment you on the fantastic entertainment and educational value of your videos. There is so much a car owner can learn from you if only they spend 15 minutes on your You Tube channel. As I mentioned in a comment to a previous video, I recently purchased an Audi Q3. My previous car, a Nissan Altima lasted for 17 years and was still running perfectly but the exterior appearance was obviously showing its age. My dilemma about replacing an old but perfectly good car was resolved by another driver making an unsafe left turn at a traffic light immediately in front of me (I live just outside Toronto, Ontario so we drive on the right hand side of the road). I now realize that I should care for after the exterior of my cars as I do the mechanics. So I have a few questions that I hope you have the time to answer. Some of the British products you recommend are unfortunately price prohibitive to Canadians (probably due to import duties, provincial and federal tax etc.) but these products can easily (I hope) be substituted. What I would like to ask you is your opinion on graphene vs ceramic coating. And if you have a preference, what is it? And why? Also is there a substantial difference between a DIY solation of IPA as a pre ceramic decontaminant and a commercial preparation? Do you have a favorite DA polisher? I want my car looking as pristine in ten years time as the day I picked it up.
    After watching several of your videos, I now know where to go for good advise.
    Cheers

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  10 місяців тому +1

      Thank you very much for the kind words!
      I'm very sorry to hear about your Nissan but I hope you're enjoying the new Q3, I really like the look of those.
      I'm yet to try a true graphene coating, just sealants with graphene as an additive to be honest. Personally I've not noticed much of a difference compared to ceramic sealants and having seen some other channels address this I'm yet to see a massive benefit. It'll be interesting in the future to see if much more is done with graphene, it seemed to burst onto the scene a few years ago and then it's gone pretty quiet since!
      I'd definitely in favour of using a pre-mixed branded panel wipe ahead of IPA. I think it's more effective at residue removal and especially if I'm applying a coating I don't like taking the risk of using an IPA at that last step when there's already so much work gone into the prep.
      I've just got a new Dual Action Polisher (15mm throw) from a UK brand called In2Detailing which I'm very much enjoying!

      @@AutoCareHQ Thank you for your speedy reply and even more so since I noted that every viewer who made a comment to your video received a reply from you. That takes time and is a testament to your marketing strategy not to mention your professionalism and your dedication to your viewers. Show me another UA-camr that goes to such lengths!
      Don't be too sorry about the Nissan. She had a long and distinguished life but her time had come. In a way, the driver who caused the accident actually did me a favor by relieving me of any guilty conscience caused by letting a car go that was in perfect running order. On the upside, I love driving the Q3. A couple of years ago, I spent two weeks touring Andalucia in southern Spain and my rental car turned out to be a Q3. I fell in love. From that moment on I knew what my next car would be. And hours and hours of research did nothing to alter my mindset.
      Further research has indicated that the difference between ceramic and graphene coatings is minimal and apparently only concerns the ability of the coatings to resist water spotting (graphene having a slight edge). So your evaluation is bang on ! Under normal circumstances the difference is imperceptible.
      Again, I really appreciate your input regarding the use of a DIY IPA decontaminant solution vs a commercial preparation. I think that your reasoning is absolutely correct and I am surprised at myself for not coming up with a similar train of thought. When I read your comment, my first thought was, "Of course, why would I risk hours and hours of preparation simply to save a few pounds (Oops! I mean $'s)
      I have looked on the internet and unfortunately I can find no retailer for the DA polisher offered by In2Detailing.(15mm throw is a little on the high side, isn't it?) I know a brand that I can buy with which I would be eminently satisfied but I don't feel like taking out a mortgage to purchase one. A more reasonable choice might the Maxshine M8S. Are you familiar with this unit?
      I apologize for the length of this reply but I unfortunately suffer from a disease which, if I have a choice of writing either 5 or 15 words, I'll opt for 25.
      Cheers

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  9 місяців тому

      The 15mm throw definitely makes the process more efficient but if I'm working on a curvier car then I'll need a second polisher with a 3" pad to help on some sections where the DA15 stalls out too easily. I'm not familiar with that polisher but Maxshine are a very reputable brand so I'd imagine it'd be a good option to look at!@@brianmcallister114

    As usual what a transformation from a very dirty car to perfection. I do like a clean white car and I have had a few including my Fiesta St and 208 GTI but I don't like waxing them as it is too easy to miss bits unless exceedingly methodical. I was out today detailing the Jag as it was dry and still and it came up like glass again as I had used GT QD the last time I thought I would try Sigma again today as I know I liked it in the past. I have a Mitchell & King luxury wax as a base coat and put the Sigma on as a LSP because the days are too short to re wax up here in Scotland at this time of year especially if I am doing a full decon & sealant application prior to waxing. As usual you used a couple of things I liked the look of, the Autobrite Hard Coat you can maybe give us an update on and maybe you could try it on a non ceramic coated car and see how it performs and the round brush you used on the trims looks a really good option as a future purchase.

      @AutoCareHQ  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching! Pre-washing is definitely a good idea with gloss black wheels with them marring so easily, and use a microfiber mitt/ barrel brush instead of a bristle brush too. Depending on the style you may be able to just hand polish them or could be worth looking into a nano polisher

    If you are getting some kkd citrus magic then get some brakeaway and mekanix. Brakeaway wheel cleaner is great at 10:1 so even more economical. Mekanix is a general degreaser so great for engine bays but at 10:1 is an excellent tyre cleaner. You really don't need a dedicated tyre cleaner . What music were you listening to?

    As with all of your videos, this looks amazing. How long did that process take you? Any reason that with the decon you opted not to do a clay bar as part of the process. The new synthetic clay towels from the likes of DIY Details in no way damage an existing ceramic coating, and if used correctly dont mar the paint, so there is no need to polish after the clay towel decon stage. Just wondering..... Thanks

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  10 місяців тому

    • @josephdefreitas56
      @josephdefreitas56 10 місяців тому

      @@AutoCareHQ Thank you for your reply. If I may can I recommend that you have a look at the DIY detail channel. Tons of great content including ways to become more efficient including ditching the 2 bucket method. This involves doing a pre-wash like you did then rinsing and then re-foam. (A 900 ml mix in my MJJC usually allows me to foam an average size sedan twice.) You then use a soap in a bucket like normal and wash the car with the bucket and mitt on the foam. You get super lubrication this way. Using this method really speeds up the wash process and because there is almost no grime left on the car after the pre-wash stage its safe to then use this process. Check out their vids and see what you think. But your detail work is excellent as well as your video editing. Keep up the great work!!

    Hi Heather, great video :) you mentioned that both the prewash and shampoo were harsh and would strip sealants and waxes. Would they harm the ceramic coating or would this be fine?

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  10 місяців тому

      Thanks! Nope it’s completely fine for a coating, one of the main selling points of this shampoo is that it’s great for refreshing the coating and helping to unclog it 2-3 times per year.
      It’s The Rag Company Utility Brush. It’s softer than it looks to be honest but I definitely would still steer clear of using it on the paint
