- Due to changing weather conditions this is not the planned video I intended to make. Halfway through filming the weather changed and prevented plan A so I quickly came up with plan B. Although it's unplanned, I hope you find it of some use.

This is another great video of yours. Love the sense of humour and your adapting products to suit the situation. Don't you just love the weather in good old Blighty?🤣. Fantastic content
Thanks Gordon, really appreciate the comments. Makes the making the videos worth it👍. Have a great Christmas and a healthy new year
Nice one Martin another great & informative video.
Cheers Mark, hope it's of some help
Great video again Martin. Really can't believe you stayed that calm with that rain hitting you twice. If it would have been me it would be cursing al the way😂
I have to admit, a little cursing may have been reported in the area😉😉 but really pleased with the way plan B worked out
Hello Martin,2 great products to use,they have done a brilliant job on your car.
Thanks Seven , glad you think so👍
Great video Martin i have never used any Chemical Guys products before but that After Wash looked good stuff and the car came up brilliant but sods law it always rains after a wash lol.
PS thanks again for the info you gave me on the wheels protection. Top Man
I'm glad I can be of help, that's one of the great things about having a UA-cam channel is that you can be of use to like minded people.
Great to see the big buckets back 🤣
British weather is our natural enemy but good to always be adaptable to it! Enjoyable as always Martin and the X3 looks incredible 👍🏼👍🏼
I had no choice Mark after you & Maz ganged up on me🤣🤣. I was really pleased with the result considering it was a spur of the moment decision but I do try to keep the car nice. I spend a lot of time on the detail but don’t alway show it otherwise the video would just send everyone to sleep. Today I’m going to retreat all the rubber & seals with serum otherwise I will be found jobs inside😁
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer that's a very efficient way to think - you'll be busy either way, might as well be busy on your own terms 🤣🤣
As always Martin really enjoyed it
It's always good to know you guys enjoy the videos as much as I do in making them👍
Martin I’ve followed you for a long time now you always make me laugh you are totally honest and you do a cracking job 🙏🙏
@@manxox cheers, I do my best and make myself laugh at times, maybe I should up the medication🤷♂️
Well done Martin.Another winning combination of products to give excellent results,the X3 finish is as stunning as usual,such a fantastic car!.🙏🏻
Cheers Mr G, not a bad looker is it
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer That’s an understatement Martin.
Cracking video as always Martin.
Love the GT products not tried car pro lite or chemical guys
I was really pleased with plan B & like using different products especially when you don't see them often on UA-cam
Gt products make up most of my Arsenal,very keenly priced and get great results,customers love the finish of sigma.👍🏻
maybe I will be able to get that combo on the car next time
Great video Martin , had my bullshit buckets out today ! lol . Mine have gamma seal lids , filled with hot water it was only 5 degrees ! The MJJC lance is a good bit of kit and good value for money, Gyeon wet coat and Bathe + for my winter washes from now on because it's going to be to cold to spend hours outside . All the best :)
cheers, really pleased with the lance👍 and always good to have a winter process all lined up. I also have wet coat on the shelf, not used it yet but sounds like it does it for you so maybe next time
Stunning Martin. Me and wife both have daily drivers along with our young daughter that is in the back causing the usual havoc. So I know it's not ever going to be mint. Must be hard for yourself having a mint, mint car and knowing it could easily be marked in car parks etc etc. I think I'd get OCD about checking it.
I drive my Wife absolutely mad when we are out. I park as far away from anyone as I can get, always checking the cameras to make sure its not being interfered with. Get back to the car and check the front & rear screen cams. I really do need to up the medication, such a sad git🤷🏻♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer fully understand why. I have a little Kia picanto run around as well, it's very clean for 10 plus year old car, no marks on it other than some idiot opened there door into my door and it now has a line down the door. Imagine how annoying that would be on your BMW.
@@sixtysecondsofstephens2386 OMG😱 you are giving me nightmares
Another great video - Like you for winter ease I have suddenly turned to these spray on and off products but I use Sams Detailing ceramic foam - Applied via a snowfoam cannon
It's what ever works for you Chris. I have a similar product used in the same way from Bouncers. Both are ideal for the Winter days
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Bouncers do a snowfoam based version... I will have to have a look.
@@Just_Bald_Chris yep, it's called H.S.F. its ok, nothing special
Have you ever considered using products like the CarPro Hydro Lite through a foam lance ?. Ido it all the time & find it a more even & controlled easier method, but i always dry the glass areas off. I just find that it's almost always windy & spraying from a bottle most of the stuff goes everywhere except on the car. On the 2 bucket method tbh, i naively thought that everybody did that & so should i, but i find that most of the time i don't even use the rinse bucket because after a APC spray on the lower half and snow foam laid on top, there is hardly any dirt left on the car anyway. my wash bucket always looks clean after a contact wash. Just my thoughts !.
Hi Alan, not considered using the product through a snow foam lance to be honest. You are right in that the spray goes everywhere though and I have a video scheduled for 2nd Jan where I use a different method to apply a similar product. I also sometimes use only use one bucket depending on the condition of the car. As always your thoughts are most welcome, I have learnt so much over the years I have been doing the channel from you guys 👍
Hi Martin. My GT products (foam, CS, shampoo V2) arrived today. I will try the foam and shampoo this week :-)
I let my wife 'operate' on the big wash pad and she opened it up and removed the foam and made a glove of the microfiber; very usable for me now!
I agree with you about the 'rip off buckets' but they are kind of 'must have' for a detailer so everybody buys the (way too pricey) and lift themselves a hernia.
I know you will like the products, all you need now is the right weather. Those buckets just don't need to be that expensive along with the grit guards and all the other things associated with them
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Indeed. The new 'must have' is the detail guardz 180 or 360° scrub wall. Also pricey for what it is.
The buckets your right on . Ive a local shop that deals with things for " home grows " , popular in Stoke it seems , and I got 2 buckets off him for the price of one bulls*it type one . If Im just washing mine I use £1 buckets , if Im doing all 3 then bring the big boys out . Whats the drying towel ? Reminds me looks wise of a old Meguiars one I had . Was going to ask do you find with a coated or well maintained car a thicker towel doesnt work as well as a thinner loops type towel ? Ive both types of AD ones and the thinner is by far better on coated but the thicker works well on the lads Honda which isnt . For mine , which rarely moves , a weekly wash may not need a snowfoam off as its just dirty from sitting and rain etc not actual grime off roads so no need to foam it down as much

Its almost like if you don't use the detailing buckets you're not a detailer 🤷🏻♂️. almost political correctness . Thanks for subscribing to "my bike and me" its a bit slow but getting there👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer just put some stickers on £1 buckets and it counts, welcome as well on bike channel
Hi Martin, great video as usual but you keep costing me a fortune!
So, i have always been a Gyeon Wet Coat user, how does HydrO2 compare? The beading looks really good, but how much protection was on the car before the wash? I have a bottle of Autofinesse LAVISH CERAMIC FOAM to try which, from what i have seen, adds beading and shine.
Hi Gazmo. I have wet coat on the shelf but not used it yet so cant give a comparison but I would be surprised if any difference was obvious as both good quality brands. Existing protection on the car is 303 Graphene that was applied at beginning of the year & since then have just used Bouncers DDSi and GT 2QD
Car looked stunning there Martin a few products I haven't heard of so maybe tweek the wallet open see what comes out great video again matecalways look forward 2 them nice 1
cheers Alan, I enjoyed myself👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer always a pleasure 2 watch Martin & I'm out in the lorry tonight so the misses can't see my wallet coming out
@@alandonnelly9788 🤣
Superb
Thanks Philip appreciated 👍
What kind of cloth were you using when using the chemical guys after wash product ?
Hi Darren, they were Autoglym drying towels that I have had for many years but very seldom used
Love Hydr02 Martin on my wheels. Hope you’re well my friend
Hi Clint good to hear from you pal. Not been great to be honest but hoping to get back on track soon 👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer oh no. Let’s take this off line here.
Messaged you
AfterWash is really good
👍
Great vid Martin.I really rate hydro 2 never thought of doing a combo though
Me neither 🤷♂️. first time for everything. On another subject, I saw a comment from you on my e mails but when I went to reply it disappeared and didn't want you thinking I ignored you
Yeah I noticed it disappeared from the comments. I think it was because I mentioned a product that I think you should do one of your honest reviews on
Also I put a website in
@@jpoccasions227 If you want to resend then I will always reply.
Have a look on the tyre kickers channel
@@jpoccasions227 sorry on the what???
That is such a smart car, so much so I nearly bought one like it last weekend but instead the wife likes Jaguars and we came home with a Black E Pace instead. Not too disappointed myself. If I was cleaning my tyres to apply Serum I used to use 303 rubber cleaner but now use diluted Decon shampoo 10 to 1 topped with wheel shampoo from a foamer. Works a treat.
A quick question I use Atom Mac on your recommendation but noticed after application in this film you then put snow foam on the wheels and rinsed it off do you then re apply Atom Mac at that stage also or is one application enough.
Hi John, the more you use Atom Mac the better and more resilient it seems to be. I don't feel the need to re-apply as I use it at every wash but would recommend you re-applying after you final rinse. Enjoy the Jag👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Thanks for that.
Fair day's graft there Martin and top perseverance with ultimately top results. I must say though - the rain in your vid ain't nowt on the stuff we get up north mate 😆.
Phil you need to realise that for us souther softies, drizzle is an issue🤣
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I'm up in Morecombe Martin and this last week was a write off, rain every bloody day and my work is outside based aswell, but re the vid I've never actually thought much about wet coat type sealant products, just wondering have you ever tried sheeting the water mostly off with low water pressure after?
@@PSHARPE1 no not tried that. These products are really good for getting protection on the car quickly but won't give you much longevity
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer no but add every other wash or so and you're golden. I only ask about the sheeting the majority of the water off thinking we're coming to that time of year and your vid highlights it it's almost pointless drying a car within an inch of it's life and minimal contact is never a bad thing.
@@PSHARPE1 good point Phil & well worth doing as the weather declines especially if you have soft or filtered water
Never thought about using a detailing brush for the tyre dressing 😁 I’m using the Car scope tyre brush at the moment brilliant little thing 👍
It's all about what works for you Ricky. Why change a winning formula. I Looked at that brush but thought I would wait until mine wears out first. Im glad you mentioned it as its always good to get real customer feedback👍
I have a Car scope tyre brush and have to agree, it is excellent. i use with GT tyre Serem and it is really easy to put on. I think it was Specky Mcsporran and Paul Dolden who put me onto it.
@@gazmo3055 ahh the good (that's me) the bad (that's specky) & the ugly, I leave you to decide who that is🤣🤣🤣
@@gazmo3055 yeah they put me onto it too 😁
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer no comment 🤔😁
Totally agree about the buckets marketed at detailers being ridiculously overpriced. It’s true for a lot of things when they become “detailing” tools… ridiculous really but I suppose people pay it, if there wasn’t a market and all that
yep my thoughts exactly Mike 🤷♂️
Great video as always. Could you review C2 V3 LIQUID CRYSTAL in the future?
yep it's on my schedule to do a review as a QD but I have already two videos out with it. My very first video included it as I coated my wheels and I followed that up a few months later when I re applied it to my wheels but will be using it as a QD👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer brilliant. Will check it out.
Hi Martin. I also stopped using multi buckets a year ago. I now just use 1 bucket and multi mitt or recently if the car isn't to dirty i just use shampoo in a Snowfoamer and multi mitt with no bucket. 😲. Have you ever used GT Wheel shampoo in a snow foam lance and if so what dilution. Cheers mate.
Hi Andy, no never used it in a snow foam lance. I have used it in an IK foamer at 20ml to 800ml water when using it on my bike. I know Matt from Obsessed Garage uses P&S Brake Buster through a snow foam lance on his wheels.
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer thanks Martin. I might just start with 50ml the same as GT zero and see how I go.
@@andyupton5851 let me know how you get on and your thoughts on using it that way please
What is it you spray on your discs and what does it do?
Thank you
Hi Dave, after the final rinse of my wheels and again after the final rinse of the car I apply Bilt Hamber Atom Mac onto my disks to prevent them from tarnishing
Does it get rid of the layer of rust that appears after washing?
Thank you
@@Drone626 yep but don’t forget to give a second coat after you give the car a final rinse
One little thing I noticed was you put atom Mac on then rinsed it off again when removing snow foam I find it better do atom after final rinse bud 👍🏻
I think its 6 of 1 & half a dozen of the other. I guess there are positives and negatives in that thought process. You are right in saying rinsing the foam off may reduce the impact of Atom Mac but equally by waiting until the car is rinsed, foamed and rinsed again the discs on wheel one have already started to tarnish. I have tried both and never found much of a difference. I guess it down to preferences 🤷♂️
Martin what the hell were you thinking saying the car is the love of your life, better get the bouquet of flowers quick. 😁
I know, my lips run away with me at times🤷🏻♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer 😀
With you on the buckets Martin when you can buy a plasterers bucket for a fiver and it’ll last a lifetime!
Im sure it's a political correctness thing. If you don't have the right buckets then you dont know how to clean a car properly🤷🏻♂️
Are they ball's in the bottom of the sprayer bottles
No sir, they have weights on the end of the tube
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer What type are they Martin? Never seen them before
@@ilikechickensausages2075 CANYON Spray Trigger And Bottle
Bulshit Bucket. Haha love that. Have to say I am in total agreement. I use 2 B&Q buckets, they do the same job for 1/2 the price as one bs bucket
exactly Peter👍
Great video again, grab it by the scruff of the neck brings back memories from being a cheeky little nipper!!!! What's said on the channel stays on the channel, not a word to your good lady wife 😂😂 anyway you'd be lost without her or at least the cakes you get made ☕👩🍳🍰🧁
Glad you liked it Paul👍👍
Those products look fairly pricey just wonder if they are anygood
If I remember rightly they are both around £16 & I would buy them again
19:47 Unfortunately, it is wrong microfiber for detail spray Martin, as you can see it's not taking water and there is water stains...
Hi Andy, any water marks after the first wipe came right off with the second towel with no effort. The finish is like a mirror
Martin : " I like to use my favorite products. What am I using?"
Cue repeated use of the name Garage Therapy! 🤣
The guys REALLY need to give you some sort of royalty payment for every time you use the company name Martin! 🤣
I get what you mean but they really are my favourites 🤷♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer oh I don't doubt it for a second! Justifiably so too!
Hi Martin, when is new content coming out? Missing your content.
Thats good to hear Pete. I've not been great of late so nothing ready to go but hope to get a video out next week. Sorry🤷♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Don't be sorry, your health is more important for sure. Take care and be safe
Hi great video again, link to that stuff you spraying on disk and what does it do.thanks
Just watched your video on it ,just ordered thanks m8 very helpful
Bilt Hamber Atom Mac Jason. It prevents the discs from tarnishing after washing. countydetailingsupplies.co.uk/product/bilt-hamber-atom-mac-500ml/
Thanks for replying best channel out there for car cleaning
@@jason-si4mq thanks Jason, really appreciate your comment. Thank you👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer hi its Jason iv message you afew times got some atom mac used today on my disks 300ml with 20mil of product didn't seem to work any ideas?spray on first wash wheels then at end light covering again
Small buckets small 🍆🤣🤣
Your BS buckets are nice Martin!, I do agree that some brands take the piss when they’re buying these for a few pounds and selling for 5x what wholesale is , with a little sticker on it , cheap buckets are available 😅
Protection wise I do love Hydro Lite, it’s amazing and lasts so long , the gloss on the X3M just looks incredible , I love it 😍
I know you’ve been using spray protectants on your wheels but do you think your ceramic coating is still on them?
Hi Graeme, I can’t be sure about the wheel coating but think it’s still there on the barrels as they are still in very good order and very easy to keep clean. Can’t comment on the spokes and rims as they get lots of protection applied at every wash. Mostly spray on rinse off but also DDSi/Liquid Crystal/Sigma
