My deepest respect to the lady that knows her way around a car
The thing I love about watching your videos is your so informative and give honest opinions, and suggestions on ways to do certain things.
Also when you use a product I love the way you talk about what the product is and the best way to apply it.
5* Love watching your videos and always will !!!
Thanks so much I really appreciate it!
I never thought about a low pressure rinse for sheeting the water off. I picked up another trick from you again. Thank you! ✌🏼
Cracking work there Heather and thank you for the video. One mucky Mercedes completely transformed thanks to your sterling efforts - top job 💪👍.
Thanks very much Karl!
Always so thorough! Great video Heather!
Cheers Joey!
Looks amazing Heather done a fantastic job this weather is keeping you busy
Thanks Dave!
Once again Heather another fantastic and informative video.
Thanks Mark!
Really nice result Heather. What a transformation.
Thanks very much!
all hail the detail queen, if you’re too humble to be the queen, you’re definitely detailing royalty lol✌🏽🐿️💨…have you ever used or considered using wheel covers while you wash the rest of the vehicle. the absolute joy of washing, rinsing, drying the wheels then covering them and not having to touch them again while you detail the rest of the vehicle is amazing. (it is better to apply tire shine after you’ve uncovered them) but i love using them although al lot of american vehicles have enormous tires so i don’t get to use them every time 😪
Haha thank you!! I’ve not actually thought about them to be fair, they do look handy though
Love your no nonsense videos. 👏
Thanks Tony!
Excellent work! I reslly enjoyed the addition of the protectant. I must try that the next time I'm applying protectant to my car.
Hello Heather,
Top job.👍 Really like the before and after comparison shots.👍
Thanks so much! 😊
Another ace video Heather, all your videos are full of information and useful tips, my skill set is improved by your content. Thank you!
Thanks Simon, I'm very glad you find them useful!
Really loved watching the sheeting when you rinsed the sealant off! That was so satisfying. Great video, that car's completely transformed.
Thank you! Yeah it’s really satisfying, makes drying easier as well haha
Hello Caretakers. Thank you, Heather, for making this star shine again.
Thank you!
Nice job as always Heather 👍
Thanks Brian!
Great job Heather. I bet most of your cars are arriving like this one at the moment. So rewarding to see the final result.Have a great week.
Cheers Stephen! Yeah it’s been grim weather!
Nice job as always
Hello Heather,the results are brilliant on this Mercedes,looks alot better.
Thank you!
Awesome job as usual Heather 👍⭐
Thank you! 😊
Great job Heather!
Thank you!!
Great job as always heather, really enjoy watching your video's.
Thank you very much!
What a beautiful out come,it looks brand new,outstanding piece of work. I bet doing a job like that is a good work out. Saves on rip off gym fees. Very well done.
Cheers Philip! Haha very true 😂
It's always a pleasure to see your video 👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
Great work Heather 👍👍👍
Thank you! 😀
another well explained video cant wait for the next 1
Thanks Bryan!
Great job, very satisfying to watch :)
Thanks Paul!
Outstanding work😊
Thank you!
Very Nice and smart work! Impressive!
Thanks very much!
Another W video as always. Alot learned here. Thanks Heather!
Thank you!
Another outstanding job!!!!!
Thank you!!
More excellent work Heather 👏🙂
Thank you! 😊
I did a much needed wash on my T6 today and used the same Yum Foam + you used.....lovely finish and really easy to use. Great job again Heather!! 👍
Thank you! Glad you’re a fan of Foam+ too 😊
@@AutoCareHQ So I missed a good few tar spots….😖can I use tar spot remover on top of the yum foam or will I have to do a decon wash first……Also, I would LOVE to see you tackle a Transporter camper or Kombi sometime….do you have any customers with one? Cheers 👋
Yep that’s totally fine, you may just need to top up the sealant after. I’ll do my best to get hold of those for a video!
@@AutoCareHQ Awesome thanks Heather!
The vehicle looked great! I really admire your work. I thought I had an easy day today detailing a motorcycle. Nope! I am very tired right now. In some ways motorcycles are harder than cars. Good video Heather.
Thanks very much Kim!
I always find the mud/leaf combo on the underside of the rear quarters of the body/bumpers is the most stubborn to shift.
I’m actually looking to getting this car so love seeing this in one of your videos!
Thanks for watching!
Nice job there and beautiful car as well.
Congrats.
Nice job Heather! Good hard days work.
Cheers Ryan!
Very interesting. Respect ❤
Hi Heather another fantastic job on this Mercedes
Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you.
Thank you!
the finished result looked great Heather. Not yet used any Autoglanz products but will add some to my collection. Tempted to get one of those Blo car dryers too.
Thanks John! The dryer is brill to be fair, really glad I got mine
One mucky Mercedes, but you greatly improved the looks of this one Heather.
Thanks Paul!
Love it. 🤘🏻😎🔨 Nice work. Came out well.
Thanks Joe!
Your hard work in cool/cold conditions is well rewarded with that now shiny GLC. Might I ask what you do with the remaining snow foam?
Thank you! I usually just keep it in the cannon for the next wash
Great results 👍
Thanks!
Fabulous Heather!!! And that’s a lot of vehicle to get around 😇😇😇
Thank you! Yeah it’s much easier on my little MX-5 😂
Way more useful than your average "disaster detail" videos. Too bad YT doesn't get that...
Thanks for watching :)
Hi Heather I was out this morning doing the Jag as it is to rain for 10 days so I guess no car washing to be done for a while. My Karcher K5 has been playing up so today I took it down to the local Karcher repair outlet which is about 10 mins from our house. Two days & £49.50 I have been assured so a lot cheaper than a new one. Autoglanz is a range of products I have not tried but anyone who does use them seems to speak highly of them. I have been using Auto Finesse's snow foam ceramic sealant on a neighbours car that I detail to good effect but it's hopefully getting back into waxing weather soon. I did get the latest M & K luxury wax onto one of our cars last week and it turned out exceedingly well and the water beading is exceptional.
As usual with your tutorials the Mercedes turned out very well as well.
Thanks very much for watching John :) Glad you got the K5 sorted, sounds like they're some great products too
Another great video! That’s was one dirty merc. Some cracking products used, ODK Jet is one of my favourite shampoo, super slick 😁
Thanks Karl!
Absolutely love your channel and your honesty when reviewing products. Can I ask is there anything i should be wary of with paint protection film?
Thank you!
Main things are to avoid pressure washing the edges too hard and being careful when using tar and glue removers near the edges too
Autoglanz Rebound is the only thing I use now for tyres. As you said, it's less cost effective than diluted APC, but it's so much better. Lovely job on the Merc though Heather. I really need to invest in some of that Yum cars foam+ sealant. Looks really handy!
Thanks Steve! Yep definitely handy especially in cold weather
Fantastic look Heather 🍻 🇺🇸
Thanks Mike!
Another first class video Heather, how you coping with the weather
Thanks Nigel! It’s pretty grim isn’t it, tough to find filming days atm but I’ve got a few ready to go
Great video and glad you are enjoying our products 😄
Thank you! They're excellent products!
What a beautiful job. Sadly here in Norway it difficult to deepclean your cars in the winter, because of the low temperatures. However - spring is just around the corner 😃
Thank you! I couldn’t cope in those temperatures!
That was dirty, grey normally hides it a little as well! Great job as well always and look forward to the next one 👍
Thanks Jason! Yeah it was proper muddy, think it drives a lot on country roads so it gets dirty very easily
Nice big difference before and after😊
Thanks!
Top Work 🤙⭐️👑
Thanks!
Excellent job mate. I’ve been waiting for you to use the Yum foam plus but as it’s a bit pricey I wanted to see how it fared in one of your vids as your reviews seem a bit more balanced than many. I also need some of those wheel brushes in my life, I’ve tried several wooleys but they just disintegrate too quickly for my liking.
Cheers Dave! I’ve never used any wheel woolies tbf but the EZ ones are very good quality
Hi Heather, Another fantastic video. The difference after you've finished is amazing. Just one thing, if you're going to make a habit of cleaning large SUVs you need either a tall assistant, or a step. I'd go for the latter, it's easier to control and cheaper.😂😂😂
Thank you! Haha I need a step ladder for most cars to be fair!
Great work Heather. It was minging when you started but you and your knowledge made it sparkle. Hope to do a full decon and polish on mine by the end of the month. Can you recommend a good clay mit for me please . All the best for the channel.
Thank you! If you’re after a clay mitt I’d go for the rag company one. But if you don’t mind using a clay block then the Carbon Collective one is really good!
@AutoCareHQ thanks Heather, will look at these options
Good job
Great video really like the clarity on the camera.
May I ask why you dried the first then sprayed the sealant then dried again
Thank you! I just dried it off for the tar remover so it wasn’t diluted by water on the panel but I sprayed the panels again with water before the sealant, sorry I should’ve mentioned that!
What a great turnaround heather very impressive
Thanks Adrian!
@@AutoCareHQ you may have already done a video incorporating an engine bay clean but I have never found one have you done one if so guide me in the rite direction if not will you be doing one , with all the electronics on cars today it’s a mine field to know what’s safe .
I have one video that I did a few years back: ua-cam.com/video/b06HWSaaidc/v-deo.htmlsi=80dsvms_j91oRf9l
Super Video ❤
Thanks!
Great job H !! Noticed quite a number of cars in the background, are you going to detail them all ?
Thank you! I've featured most of them on the channel to be fair!
Hello Heather,
another great job. Washing a car by 4°C .... , gla gla gla, better you then me 😅.
The sprayable sealant loks gret and easy to use. I'll keep it on my mind.
Still appreciate watching youtaking car on the cars.
Cheers from France, Chriss
Thanks very much for watching Chriss!
Good morning Heather 👋 another top draw detail to a "properly dirty winter" car. Entirely coincidentally, I've just purchased to try out Yums foam + ........if Wednesday's weather is dry, Im giving it a go on my car. Looks impressive I must say 👍
Cheers Graham! Hope you enjoy using Foam+ too 😊
@AutoCareHQ I'll report back on your next video Heather......in the meantime, have a great week ahead ( and no more rain please, dear rain God's! for Northumberland, please! 🙏) 🙂
Particularly like the Mercedes badge shaped lights on the garage.
Excellent job (I knew there was a car somewhere under that dirt!!)
Haha thank you!
Some job well done
Thanks for watching!
Great job. You seem to have a steady supply of dirty cars! 😁
Thank you! Haha the wet weather certainly helps
It's a big bus the GLC but you did a great job on it Heather 👍
Cheers Mark!
Great video. This has given me some ideas for future purchases. Loving your work Heather.
Thanks very much! Any products in particular you have your eye on?
The AutoGanz Brute looks an interesting product and seemed to work well in combination with the foam. I am getting bored using BH Surfex and AutoFoam so looking to try some new combinations.
@@AutoCareHQ
Good shout, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it
Not a problem. Always need new toys to play with lol.
@@AutoCareHQ
Great work! Do you have a turbo nozzle for arches? I recently bought one and used it for the first time, was an absolute game changer!
Thanks Alex 😊 I don’t have one but I need to get one!
Great video as always! One thing I am wondering about though, is whether the spray on sealants cause issues with then the dressings on the tyres / plastic? I am wondering if they reduce the life slightly as they kind of seal the plastic, which would then stop the dressing from sinking in so easily?
Thanks! I get what you mean, they do add some protection so could affect the durability a little but honestly in real world scenarios I’ve not noticed a difference
Another nice cleaned car, how does Autoglym Polar Seal compare to your sealant?
Thanks for watching :) I'm afraid I've not actually tried Polar Seal
Amazing 👏🙋
Thanks for watching!
Very nice
Cheers!
Hello Heather. Thank you for this video. Your every post is knowledgeable and contains gems of new information for me. Unlike other detailers' UA-cam sites, your site offers honest evaluations of products and demonstrations of proper methods one should use along with explanations. Consequently, I have a question that I hope you can answer for me. As I have mentioned in a previous comment, I recently purchased an Audi Q3. (I mention this because it is my understanding that this company uses a hard clear coat which may affect you answer to my question). The paintwork is quite good and does not need extensive correction although there are some very small swirls present. Granted, a full polish would take care of this but since I want to be as gentle on the clear coat as possible as well as wanting efficiency in both time and economy, do you think that a polishing foam pad (eg Rupes yellow pad) used in combination with a cream sealant would do the job. My thinking is that the slightly abrasive quality of the pad itself might be enough to remove small swirls. What do you think? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much for watching, I really appreciate the kind words.
To be honest I wouldn't stress too much with a Q3. I think you'll need a polish really to get those swirls out by the sound of it but you can still go with a mild combo. Something like Koch Chemie Ultra Cut (and their purple pad) would probably work if they're very fine but you could always step up to Koch Chemie Fine Cut (and either an orange or purple pad depending on how aggressive you want to be) if they're a bit deeper
Heather, thank you so much for your advice (and, I might add, for such a speedy response to my question). I'll check out the products you recommended and give it a whirl when the weather gets a little warmer.
Great job young lady ….thing was really filthy 💪👊☝️
Thanks!
Funny watching this ATM, I finally got round to trying out my v1 jet sample today gonna have to get V2. Do we know he changes at all?
I'm not too sure on that one I'm afraid!
What is a good pre wash you could recommend for a car that has a finish like ceramic, just not as intense. Love your channel and tye honest reviews!
Thanks! Garage Therapy Citrus and Snow Foam are very good options, you can use quite weak dilutions with very good results without being too aggressive
@@AutoCareHQ thank you!
Hi Heather, great video.
I see you are using the pyramid foam lance how does that compare to your MJJC V2 foam lance. I like the transparent wide mouth bottle on the pyramid lance and it has 5 different settings as well.
Thanks
Nick
Thank you!
It's brill, the bottle design is great and the different settings are a great idea. It doesn't drain the bottle as quickly as the MJJC so it looks like the foam is thinner but it's really because it's using less solution. Just means you need to put a slightly higher concentration of snow foam in the bottle but you don't need to refill it as often
@AutoCareHQ thanks for your reply, Heather, so in your opinion, it's one of the better foam lances you have used do you think it would work ok with a karcher k5 compact.
Don't suppose you have a discount code I could use with them.
Thanks for your help and look forward to your next video.
Have you ever used a platform to stand on when washing your cars? I ask because sometimes on the larger ones such as this one, the roof tends to get let's say missed out. I'm sure a lot of people have that problem as well, it could be useful to show how much easier it would make it, even I have had a bit of a stretch reaching all the roof of the car on some I have owned.
Yep I have some steps which I use for most cars tbh to reach the centre of the roof
Beautiful job here Heather but if i may suggest an improvement it is a good idea to open the doors and boot and clean the door surrounds too (You might have done this obviously but it wasn't shown in the video) 🙃
Cheers Mike! I generally don’t film that bit just because it adds about 30 mins to the process moving the camera around loads. I sometimes get some clips of it but I’ve just got to prioritise what I film a bit more in winter so I can get it all done before it’s dark 😊
@@AutoCareHQ makes perfect sense 😀
What is that manual foam sprayer?
thanks for your reply, Heather, so in your opinion, it's one of the better foam lances you have used do you think it would work ok with a karcher k5 compact.
Don't suppose you have a discount code I could use with them.
Thanks for your help and look forward to your next vid
Yep it's really good, it's the one I use the most now compared to my MJJC and MTM. If you use "ACHQ" I think you get a decent discount with them. Just have a check with Pyramid first to make sure that it has a Karcher adapter if you aren't using a quick release gun
@AutoCareHQ thanks Heather.
Very much appreciated.
Regards
Nick
