    Really enjoyed this one mate , loved the tour to ! To touch on your point about doing a full clean for maintenance money ...I did my brother in law's juke on Saturday ..he's an Uber delivery driver ..car was a pig , I spent over 4 hrs on it ! I finished in the dark with no idea how well I did the exterior wash and the interior was by no means perfect . Was my first time realising A.. customer expectations /job I could deliver and B ....taking on a job without seeing it first ... I earned £50 and I'm still pissed off with myself at the job I did even thoe I slaved at it ....40 mins just on the Matts!!!!! It's only my 4th car so I know I need to learn more and speed up but this video really did resonate . Chin up and Keep up the good work mate !!!!!!

    Hi just seen this video good one 👍 when I ask about a nozzle an said thinking about k5 or k7 I've look at a nilfisk p180 looks good machine . Let me tell you the reason about getting A k5 more so .
    Me marriage is over I'm still at the house at mo so I can still use a pressure washer coz of outside tap. Not sure how long I have at home before I have to move out witch could mean no tap to use pressure washer at next place thats wy I was thinking about getting k5 more so coz of price as I will have to give money for my son an my name is still on the mortgage so have pay some of that to as she dose not an will sell the house so I'm in a pickle at MO . Thats my I was thinking about a cheaper pressure washer .
    All the best to you will try an still watch your videos you seems ok be nice to see you in person an chat about what you do cheers 👍👍👍

      Been there done that mate. I bought the transit connect on the day I separated from my now ex wife so my previous van was sold and ever since that day I stayed loyal to old wagon. I did have a few vans at one stage. My clients see me as a modern del boy 😂

    Dave, another great video as always! I’ve watched nearly all in the past couple of days! I’m not a car valet, but I do take care of my own having owned various Audi RS models and now just moved to BMW. I still want the best and to look after them. Looking to order A LOT from Yum cars, thank you, but two questions: What dilution ratios do you use? Can you do a video? For example, I’m thinking Valetpro citrus pre wash just for stubborn stain and tar on bottom half of car, but at what mix? Also, Yum shampoo, or bahama blue - how much per bucket to get a lovely foamy wash as per your videos? I’ve tried some producing no foam no matter how much shampoo/wash wax added? Keep up the great work!

    • @epicautomotivedetailing
      @epicautomotivedetailing  2 роки тому +1

      thanks mate ill be 100% honest i never spend time measuring out each product for each wash. when you work at 100mph you dont have time but once you know roughly how much to put in it gets easier. i fill up the bucket first with water then put in shampoo halfway the use machine to produce bubbles from the pressure to get me the best suds. Yum is better in my opinion than bahama blue (sorry duel car care but it is)

    • @epicautomotivedetailing
      @epicautomotivedetailing  2 роки тому

      I use water tank if I need it. After 15 years you kind of realise that most people have own power and water and don't care if you use it. So it's Just there for backup

    Great video & info for car cleaning. Just a question: I notice you don't seem to use any sort of breathing filter/mask so are you concerned about inhaling or ingesting any of the products you use, especially the aerosol agents, which may be toxic and have a negative affect on to your long term health, lungs, throat esophagus etc?

    Do you always begin with a water rinse rather than going straight in with a snow foam? It’s never say right with me when most of the detailing world is about being sensitive to paintwork that the first step is to blast dirt and mud across it under high PSI….what’s your thoughts?

    • @epicautomotivedetailing
      @epicautomotivedetailing  2 роки тому

      I think people overthink the whole process to be honest. Cars getting maintenance cleans shouldn't worry too much. The clients understand what's involved. I just get worst of it off before foaming but then again sometimes just prewashing is good enough with citrus instead of foaming all the time 👌
