- In this video I’ll be giving this Mini Cooper a deep clean and applying some protection. It had quite a lot of mud build-up and also was in need of a chemical decon to freshen up the finish.

It’s so rewarding to see all the dirt and grime come off Heather.What a difference.
Cheers Stephen!
Therapeutic is an understatement. Amazing work and very professional in your detailed explanation of each stage.
Just a tip, i take the hose off my pressure washer and use that to flood the panel gaps to flush away all the foam/car shampoo that can gather in them.
Great tip, especially useful on cars with flat boot lids!
Fantastic job Heather and another great video, love how the video starts, the background music with shots of whats to come and what the car currently looks like, fantastic editing.
Thanks very much! I quite enjoy editing that bit so I’m glad you enjoy watching it!
Finally, a detailer who doesn’t start washing the car with the dirty snow foam. That drives me crazy to watch these so called professionals rub in the dirty snowfoam with their wash mit.
Excellent job and superb video production and editing. Top work.
Thank you very much I really appreciate it :)
Once again another fantastic and informative video Heather
Cheers Mark 😊
Looks amazing Heather what a great turn around another fantastic video thanks
Thanks very much Dave 😊
Another lovely job Heather. Great seeing a proper filthy car get turned into a clean protected one.
Thanks very much for watching :)
And another cracking video.
loads of attention to detail ✔
Well done young lady 👍🏾
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I just learned today from this video that you can use detail brushes in between the cracks of windows. I can imagine the amount of dirt sitting in those areas. This was a great detaild video.
I'm and up and coming detailer myself. Just started in June of 2023.
Great video as always. Love the looks of the HDD grime zero. Versatile product for sure. They have some great stuff in their range 👍👍
Thanks Sean! It's a really good product, definitely worth a try. It's fun using loads of products sometimes but something like Grime Zero is great when you just want to keep things simple!
Great job Heather! That spray on protection is an excellent option in these colder months when we're all wanting to get the job done asap! Merry Christmas and best wishes for '24.
Thanks very much! Yep definitely speeds things up! Merry Christmas 😊
Hey Heather .. Fantastic job !!! You are always so nice and reply to comments ... Have a great week..
Thank you! I appreciate so many people leaving comments, it gives me a real boost!
Hello Heather, another great video,the results of the Mini are brilliant.
Cheers Steven!
Brilliant work again Heather 👏😊
Thank you! 😊
Great video, Heather.👍The finished results look fantastic.😎
Thanks for watching! 😊
Another great detail. Clean and crisp audio and video.
Cheers I appreciate it!
Great job Heather! Needed that deep clean for sure, came up looking so good at the end 💪
Thank you! I need to catch up on your latest video I'm looking forward to seeing which products you've chosen as your favourites :)
@@AutoCareHQ yes, lots of different products in the video. Let me know what you think 🙏
loved watching your car washing video heather you done a fantastic job on the mini
Cheers Craig!
I have a mini so really enjoyed this detail!! You did an awesome job!!
Thanks very much for watching! 😊
Excellent work Heather 👍👍
Thank you! 😊
Awesome work!
Them HDD products are really interesting, especially the HDD Grime, that could be one to try in the future. Cracking video, as always. All the best. 👍.
Thank you! They’re great products, I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried from HDD
That's a "one-hitter" on the wheels for sure! Great results and made me think about the order of how i do things. Food for thought. Nicely done as usual on the edit front too, I've noticed your vids getting better and better.
Thanks very much I appreciate it!
Nice job as always Heather 👍👍
Thanks Brian!
Great timing as HDD emailed with a free drying towel offer over £50. I was looking at grime zero so tempted......
Just found your channel and love it! Another job very well done and a beautiful young lady 👍🏼
Great videos Heather, it's good to see the whole processes to keep educated. How about a video showing a disaster detail in and out, up to decon and paste wax with all your personal favourite products , bearing in mind time constraints for mobile detailers. Apologies if you already did one.
Thank yo for the tip about using steel wool to clean the tail pipe chrome. I used steel wool today and it was easy and looked amazing. I also applied a pre wash on the dirt on the lower rockers and it was very helpful. Great video and lots of great helpful tips to improve your detailing business and your level of perfection
Thanks very much, I'm glad you gave it a try and had good results!
Great turnaround, and if you don't put another video out this side of Christmas, I hope you and your family have great Christmas time Heather.
Thanks very much! I should have one more up before then but hope you have a great Christmas too!
High Definition Detail have a fantastic range of products, and all I've tried none have disappointed. They are fantastic vfm in the 5litre sizes which will last an age. Great video Heather as always 👍
Thanks Mark! Completely agree, everything I’ve tried I’ve enjoyed using too, and yep the value for money on the 5 litre products is ridiculously good!
Nice job again Heather, I’ve got to get out to my own car this week, she’s been neglected due to work commitments, weather conditions and the wife wanting the decorating done in three rooms. I’m inspired to get it done this Friday after watching this from you.
Thank you! I’ve been neglecting mine too, itching to give it a good wash 😂
Nicely done Heather, I would have guessed those wheels were matte black at the beginning. Spray and rinse protection is so useful in colder temperatures! I'm going to check out that Rag Company palm brush that looks useful. Great video editing as always, cheers.
Haha they were pretty grotty! Thanks very much for watching :)
Amazing finished on this Mini ❤
Thank you! 😊
Hi Heather, ......really good to see a dirty / muddy car having a winter detail. The HDD product appears to be a very good product for winter protection. Good results without the effort. Me thinks another purchase is on the cards! Thanks again, Heather, and have a good week 🙂
Thank you! Yeah it’s definitely a handy one to have!
@AutoCareHQ it's ordered Heather !
What a mucky MINI! Great job :)
Hi Heather, what I like about your content is the sheer variety of products you use with each clean and also alternative uses.
I'm a big fan of grime zero for heavily soiled vehicles, but would never of thought about or considered using it in a shampoo way. One for my future use.
Thanks very much for watching Chris :) I though Grime Zero worked great as a shampoo so definitely worth giving it a try
Nice to see those Soft99 products being demonstrated - they are currently on the way to me in the post! Great job as always. 👍
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy your new products!
Fine job! This came out good.
Thanks!
Great job, Heather. A nice colour car to work with too.
Thanks for watching 😊
Nice work Heather 😀👍
Thank you! 😁
Great job as always 👍🏽
Thank you!
Looking very good indeed I have a mini one that I am going to be working my stuff on. Lots here to learn. My mini is going through a few transformations and there is going to be a lot of work on the detailing soon. Just got some autobrite direct items as new to this world.
Thanks for all your guises!
Thank you! I’m sure your Mini will look brill when you’ve finished!
Had a first go yesterday on him and hes a lot better than he was but... I can not get the Algae out the roof and window runs any ideas what might really get this gone? @@AutoCareHQ
Omg your blue scrub brush looks like a good tool to have I could do with one of them ✊️
Excellent video 🎉
Thanks very much! Grime Zero and Bead Coat are cracking products, exactly what I needed on this Mini!
Great Work🤙⭐️
Thank you! 😊
Another interesting watch and my top tip gleaned today was a product tip. The HDD bead coat looked really good one that I will look at when my Gyeon wet coat and Auto Finesse products are finished as I use them predominately on my wheels and plastic arches as I wax my own cars. I am away to look into costs of each as a comparison. The car looked really good at the end and that car reminds me so much on my JCW as it was the same grey colour as that Mini.
I Look forward to your next film.
Thanks John :) I'd really like to hear your thoughts on HDD Bead Coat if you give it a try, I've been impressed with it so far!
Great video, and great advice
Thanks for watching 😊
Well done. Came out great. 🔨😎👊🏻
Thank you!
Awesome job as usual Heather, grill brush looks ace, especially for modern cars with art deco grills😂
Thanks! Haha definitely, some of them are a right pain to clean 😂
Great turnaround. We used to have a Mini with those wheels. Super fiddly, I used to hate cleaning them. Also seemed quite prone to brake dust
Thank you! Yeah the gloss black finish is very sensitive too so not the easiest!
Another nice job done
Thank you!
I have some horrible marking on the chrome on my Mercedes. Will pick up that Stjarnagloss to try it out.
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I hope you get the chrome sorted 😊
Nice job! I have a stone driveway and wondered which matts you are using under the wheels.
Hello Heather I hope you are well so very good video and thanks for show us new products they are amazing I hope soon I can buy here in Canada, Best from 🇨🇦☕️
Thanks Jorge, hope you are well too 😊
@@AutoCareHQ Same there 🖐🏽
The owner will be over the moon with that. After spending thousands on different products and brands over the years, my preference is Bilt Hamber, Autosmart and Squid Ink. I’ve found it’s what your comfortable using and what gives you the best results.
Thank you! That's very true. I've not tried Autosmart but I am a big fan of both Bilt Hamber and Squid Ink
Very well done, excellent job. I suggest you should wear some aerosol protection and may be for your eyes too! Would agitating the fallout remover make it more effective? Wishing you a happy holiday season!
Great video!
Thanks!
Good job 👏 👏👏👏👏👏
Hi Heather, thatt mini looks good , the soft 99 wheel cleaner did a good job 👍👍
Thank you for watching!
Good cleaning session! For the trim protection, you should try poorboys world everlasting trim coating. That stuff is amazing and lasts a really long time. I put it on my car months ago and it still looks like new.
Thank you! And thanks for the recommendation I'll keep an eye out for that one :)
Merry Christmas Heather.
Another brilliant turnaround there of this cute mini. It might have been dull weather but you made it sparkle brightly.
I do presume these spray on wash off products have replaced the likes of the long gone Jeff’s Werkstat acrylic and Carlack 68 style of products ?
Thanks very much Darren! The spray and rinse products are definitely quite modern, they’re very tough to beat in terms of ease of application and the performance is impressive too
Good job
Another great video, Heather. I tried the Soft 99 wheel cleaner last week and was kinda disappointed with it after seeing all the Insta detailers saying it was the best thing since sliced bread. As you noted, for the price I think there are better products at a better price point.
Thank you! RTU wheel cleaners are tough ones really, they do end up being very expensive. I enjoyed using this Soft99 one but I do personally have a preference for dilutable ones!
Fantastic job Heather
Cheers Mike, hope you're doing well!
Very sleek 🔥
Thank you!
I muss say good job 👍
Great camera work and editing Heather 👍
Aren't those spray and rinse sealants amazing!
Thanks Steve! Yep they’re very useful!
another great video Heather but i shouldnt have watched it since we've had nothing but rain and snow here for the last fortnight. Certainly makes me itch to get my car clean lol Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎅
Thanks Tony! It’s been the same here too, fortunately got this video filmed back at the start in November but recently I’ve been struggling to get outside!
Just a friendly piece of advice, wash the windows last after the paint. It makes no sense to wash the glass and pick up dirt on your mit and then immediately go to the paint.
Heather. If you had to pick a heavy de greaser like the HDD one, would it be that or something else?
Thanks.
You were brave wearing a light coloured hoodie on a car that dirty! 😂 Top video as always. 👍🏻
Haha thank you! 😊
I think I also have every product featured here, forget about how versatile grime zero was it’s probably the nearest thing available to GT decon shampoo. I was also surprised how powerful that new soft99 wheel cleaner is. 8 below used to be raved about but haven’t heard it mentioned for ages, funny how things have their moments and then disappear.
Yeah Grime Zero is good stuff, would be interesting to see how it compares to GT Decon in a side-by-side actually. Very true about WP 8 Below, seems to have disappeared!
@@AutoCareHQ that would be a big comparison as they have so many uses, I don’t think I know anyone on social media that committed to testing things out 🤔
If you want poss suggestion for huge comparisons see Forensic Detailing Channel - Jon has a massive back catalogue of comparison and huge side by side tests. Also Car Craft Auto Detailing in Aus. His production and knowledge makes him king of the detailing internet imo. His comparisons are not quite on the scale on the above, but great too and his videos and career spans back years. Ignore me if you are already aware of them just thought i'd chuck em out there. @@gillywash1487
Very good! At times I wonder how much pre-treat stages are needed. Depending on soil level I think a foamed APC to start will do the job, and then you can put another layer of your shampoo of choice to start the contact. I'm guessing this vehicle needed the second foam pre-treat.
Thanks for watching :) Yeah usually I'll just combine the citrus/ snow foam stages but when there's more mud build up I just like to split the stages to be on the safe side
Great videos washing more relatable cars too! I wanted to ask what orifice size your premium fitments are on your pressure washer? Following the link in the description there are two sizes so wanted to double check 😊
Thank you! It’s the 04 orifice I use with my Kranzle K10
This HDD grime zero sounds very promising! i'd love one product as a pre-wash, a shampoo and a wheel/tyre cleaner. I hate having tons of bottles of different products personally. I pretty much wash my car bi weekly so hopefully its suitable for my basic traffic film from motorway driving
It’s really versatile, ideal if you don’t want a million “dedicated” chemicals! It’s pretty strong though so you might find it a bit too heavy for the contact wash. For wheel cleaning and pre-wash though it’ll be perfect if you do a decent bit of driving
@@AutoCareHQ Hi Heather, thanks a lot for the reply. Do you think it would be suitable contact wash for a ceramic coated car? I coat the body and the wheels with gyeon one (full 12 month protection) so i don't mind if grime zero makes a potent contact wash in that respect :)
I’d probably still avoid it for regular washing. I think it’s best suited to chemical decon washes 2-3x per year
@@AutoCareHQ okay great, thanks for letting me know Heather. God, what i wouldn't kill for a product that i could use to wash the wheels, pre-wash the body work and then contact wash with! we can but dream :)
Can’t agree with your comments on Wax Planet 8 below. It’s my go to in the winter to remove salt and traffic film. It’s ideal in cold weather as it is a one stop contactless remover so no need for several stages imo. Keeps your car cleaning time efficient and gets you out the cold fast too.
I still think it’s a good snow foam, I’ve just have some others I like a bit more 😊
Random question Heather, but do those hankook ventus s1 evo 3 tyres have any rim protection? Hard to tell from the video but I have the same alloys on my F56 SD and they're one of the OEM recommended tyres. Saw them online for a decent price but rim protection is important to me so just trying to find out before buying. Any other feedback on them from you or anyone else would be much appreciated! (referring to the non run flats btw)
What are the mats you put under the tyres? I need to get me some of those!
Hi Heather, could you advise me were to get the the ceramic coating that you used on the Mini.
Merry Christmas to you. Kind regards Neil
Merry Christmas Neil! Do you mean the spray and rinse sealant used on the paintwork here? It’s High Definition Detail Bead Coat
So good detailing car wow 👏
From INDIA 🇮🇳♥
Thank you 😊
Great job beautiful lady! ❤
What do you mean by using something on the tires that is not "distracting"? And also who would it be distracting exactly?
Great video. Grime Zero looks good, how would you say it compares to Surfex HD? The Soft99 tyre wax you used on the trim reminds me of the type of product I used to use on my Dad's Mk1 Granada Ghia sidewalls over forty years ago!
Thank you! I’d say the main difference is that Grime Zero is a lot more lubricated so can be used as a shampoo whereas Surfex doesn’t really offer lubrication so I wouldn’t use it for the contact wash stage
Very nice
Thank you :)
Hi, great video Heather with a great result at the end , 1 happy owner I bet . Where can I purchase the round brush with the blue bristles , it looks really good x

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.
1. How much do you charge for this type of service? And how much for an exterior and interior service?
2. What do you do if it's raining or misting?
Ty
Wow that mini looks amazing, you really care about car's just a quick question on your valeting service are you mobile or do customers have to come to you, thanks
Thanks so much! Everyone just comes to me 😊
Great video again 😊. What brand are the black gloves you use and where do you get them from? Keep up the good work 😊
Thanks! I’m using Dexshell Neo Thermfit Waterproof gloves atm
Thank you. Do they come in a box of so many or are they ones that you just re use?
Nope just a pair that get reused
Great video as always. I really wanna try that bead coat.
Thanks very much for watching!
Hi there. A Great Video. Thanks for this. You have park the car on black Pads. What the Name of that Pads? I am locking a long Time for things like that

Remind me of car cleaning guru
Nice, nice work. Very good. I really like the larger blue brush you used on the trim. Great idea. I need one. Try it out.
One thing.......Heather......i hate winter!
Thank you! Haha I agree with you Kim, it’s not as fun when it’s raining or freezing is it 😂
@AutoCareHQ all the pretty paint looks terrible from the weather in no time.
What was the brush you used on the grill ? That looks the ticket ❤
It was The Rag Company Ultra Utility brush, I’ve popped a link in the description
Looking great Heather i love the wee blue brush you used on the grill. Thats a bit different.
Thank you! It's a really cool brush, great for big grilles, trim etc.
Heather, can you compare the s99 tyre wax to gyeon tyre express? thanks!
I've not actually tried Gyeon Tyre Express but I'll have a look!
Nice pants!!!
Hi there, in the video you say that the cold weather affects the reaction of the chemicals, try to do the following: Because you cannot add hot water to the mixture in the sprayer, put the sprayer in a bucket with warm water, this will heat up de sprayer bottle and the mixture inside. Ofcourse do not use scolding hot water, just water around 20 degree Celsius. Use common sense. This will help with the chemical reaction. hope this helps. Kind regards from an amature carcleaner.
Hey, thanks very much for watching and commenting! That’s a very good tip 😊
What are the tyre stands that you use beneath the wheels please?
