Thank you for the video Dave. Full credit to you for helping the lady and cleaning her Citroen for free. The Ava seal and Shine looked pretty impressive. Agree 💯 about Citroen carpets - they're a nightmare to clean.
Thanks Karl, it's mad because I hate cleaning cars for money as a business because it adds an element of pressure but when you clean a car for free you know they will be really appreciative, plus it's good to be nice 🙂
Such a nice thing to do. Yes, as a former Citroën owner, I can say the interior materials aren't brilliant, but I always overcame any problems they created. Keep up the good work 👏😊
Nice gesture to your neighbour, well done for that. You did a sterling job on the car mate, 100% agree no need for 2 bucket method there and I bet she was more than thrilled with the result. Good variety of products and good procedures with ideas for your viewers 👍
Really enjoyed this video. It was well thought out and I liked the way you showed all the products you were going to use beforehand. The on-screen titles showing the step by step process helps. I used to hate washing my car but now I can tackle the job using your hints & tips. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. 👍🙏🚗
Great job and thank you for your tips that make the joy of cleaning a bit more simple for us weekend warriors The Lady will love her car so good of you to do this and put a big smile on her face :)
Lovely job Dave, the lady is going to be happy when she sees it. Its good to see these cleans as not all of us have supercars but just enjoy giving our cars a good clean.
Thank you, yeah I'd rather focus on the real cars of the people. Super cars are great and all that but they already look great even when they are dirty
Brilliant, you are a gentleman. You done your nan's car your cousins car. OK, their family. But too help someone who's going into hospital. That's what I call classy.
Thank you. To be honest I actually clean a lot of cars for free for people, it gives me a bit of inner peace. Plus if I make anything off UA-cam then I can claw some of it back so it's an added bonus 😃
Big fan of the Mile Deep stuff. Not just because he's local but the products just work. No faff just work. Their glass cleaner is "Epic" ( boom boom ) as is their ceramic foam and rinse products. That dressing does look to spread easy but as you said its so watery you may waste a lot that way
Good job! 👍🏻 As my joycar is a 1969 Alfa Romeo gt junior, my everyday is a Benz W169. Its like a small van, and i put alot of different things inside it. And i hate that it has carpets, even in the trunk. Having a carpet in a car is like having a carpet inside the frontdoor in your house. 😅. All dirt and stuff get on it. Rubbermatts help a bit. No carpets or sound deadening in the Alfa tho, and easy to clean.
Oh I see, I get rid of my Picasso and you clean one ? I miss mine I must say as you can't get a fridge in the back of the new car. Also found out since changing cars that citroen are not the only firm using rubbish carpets lol keep it up Dave
😂 I know you've been on about that picasso for years lol. To be honest I had no intention of filming this. I was just in a good mood and having a moment in life where I felt thankful to be able to do this for a living so thought sod it I'll just take a day off and do something good
6:20 the best pump sprayer I've ever used is. Marlolex industry Ergo 1500- this literally does the Lords work!! Its better quality then IK sprayers and the seal kits (not that you'll need them) are easily to buy.
@epicautomotivedetailing It feels like quality the moment you open the box. It's GOAT of all pump sprayers. The one I've mentioned is likely to be the best size and can deal with chemicals. There is one the same but without the chemical resistant seals. And I thought IK sprayers where good.....enjoy!
Thanks for all explanations how to clean a car, really nice to see. I have just wrapped my Tesla in matte black, after having it wrapped in khaki green for 5 years. What differences are there to clean the car from outside? Any tips or videos would be appreciated!
Thank you. To be honest of you go for ph neutral snow foam and shampoo it will keep it looking it's best for longer. Nothing really wrong with stronger foam and shampoo unless you used it every single week for a long period of time. Also remember pressure washers measure the bar pressure from the tip of the lance so if you stand back and pressure wash any wrap you won't just rip it off unless you held it really close. Most wraps are good enough to last 3+ years
Citroen looks stunning amazing work! How do you deal with cars in high pollen areas when the water does not bead off the car and then the pollen/dirt gets stuck in the water and then dries on the car?
Thank you, to be honest the citrus pre wash and snow foam combo I used is probably one of the best out there. It shifts so much dirt and because of the pollen this is why I love ceramic foams because I just use them on every clean now
Great video as ever Dave!!👌🏻👍🏻 Can you please recommend a great pump sprayer it doesn't have to be cheap as long as its going to last & is great quality?? All the best Dave...👍🏻
@epicautomotivedetailing Blimey that was we'll timed from my point of view if you're doing a pump sprayer review!!😃 Cheers for that Dave will be waiting patiently for this review?👍🏻 All the best Dave..👍🏻
Hi Phil, I think the pressure washer actually helped because with the P57 my foam wasn't as stable so I believe the flow/bar pressure may have had something to do with it
Maybe you have the standard foam cannon. I got the P80 master and it came with the premium foam cannon as used in the video. I was blown away how good it was. Previously used Karcher snow cannon its not even close to the Ava. I put in around 100 ml of foam and fill the rest with water.
@@epicautomotivedetailing Yes Exactly... I want to know that Can I use a Expired tyre Cleaner I have a Tyre Cleaner That will be Expired on 24July Did you think that it will work good after expired also 🙂 And did same thing happened with the car Shampoo also? After the tyre cleaner expired I use it or just throw it away 🙂
@@Ayush-Hazarika-7777 depends on many factors I'm not a chemist so I couldn't give you 100% accurate info on that but based on oast experiences I've used stuff labelled out of date and it's been ok. It could probably do with a good shake before use
Hiya to be honest you can't go wrong with a ceramic coating but for a quick and easy way to protect your cars paint try a ceramic foam like something I used in this video
Honestly if you get organised and go through the similar process it becomes easier. I've been slowing down over the past few years but still can get it done in a sufficient time
Sadly yes they are ok considering what they are capable of. However battery pressure washers are on the rise and some new interesting models are launching that genuinely perform well. I tried a battery karcher a few years ago and it was very good but back then it was £3k 😅. Now they are costing around £400
Dude I think you should do a video on battery operated pressure washers like the ryobi and that kartcher you mentioned you could also drop my name into the video don't know where you live in UK but if your near Newcastle upon Tyne I'll lend you mine
You did well in 3hrs including filming !! Looked like hard graft that my body would be aching …. Out of interest what would you charge for a clean like that ??
Thank you. It helps having the go pros but 4+ years of filming makes it easier. That's a good question because I wasn't as thorough on the interior and because it was free perfection wasn't necessary. If I was charging for a full valet I would spend longer and do things like remove tar but if you aim for at £150 at a starting price then for 3-5 hours you could potentially do ok but like I said it wasn't me at my best as it was just a clean for a pre sale . Great question, worth a video to cover how much you can make 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thanks for taking time to the reply… I get you were not looking for perfection still a good mornings graft as it’s a fairly large vehicle. I was thinking of.100 - 150 £…. Hope iv given you an idea for video be great to see. Loved the use of left over products.
Ok so let me just make this very clear for you so you can get a better understanding of what snow foam does. you have 2 types of foam: Ph neutral and Alkaline. Ph neutral is a gentle foam with very little cleaning power but its safe on everything like matte paint. Alkaline is stronger and pretty much safe on all surfaces but long term with regular use you could argue it may dull the paint (but in reality not in most peoples lifetime) As you can clearly see in this footage I applied a citrus pre wash to the lower third of the vehicle. That pre wash breaks down the dirt. The longer the dwell time the better the performance, The layering of foam reactivates the chemical to keep it dwelling for longer. the job of foam isn't to solely remove the dirt. I's to soften up & loosen the dirt. It will then act as a lubricant in between the wash mitt and the surface of the car if you decide to apply a second hit of foam for the contact wash. Some foams cost as little as 50p if you break down the cost per wash. I get it though for some people they may just jump in with a contact wash after a rinse and that's fine if that's how they want to do it, I won't judge... But for me this is how I do it and it works perfectly Honestly foam does work, you just need a clearer understanding of its role within car cleaning. Hope this helps 🙏
What the heck are you talking about? A fee? I'm a car cleaning channel not a money grabbing organisation. So what shall I do just turn off ads altogether? Make it make sense before you start coming up with your own wild theories. Sad
Thumbs up from me for the simple fact of your empathy for the lady going for surgery.
Thank you 🙏

I appreciate the realistic portrayal.

Hi Dave I've given my car a autoglym lifetime , from now on what should be my process be for cleaning body work .
Hiya just regular maintenance wash monthly then perhaps a second wash every 3 months or so. Depends on how much driving you do
Nice finish . I have Ava pressure washer with foam cannon but can’t seem to get foam like you had. Can you do a ratio video??
Cheers

Hi Phil, I think the pressure washer actually helped because with the P57 my foam wasn't as stable so I believe the flow/bar pressure may have had something to do with it

Another informative video cheers. What's your opinion on interior air sprays to keep inside smelling fresh......spray or hanging air freshers?
Hanging air fresheners aren't really my thing, odour neutralisers work better as they help kill the bacteria and leave a nice scent

You’re a good man Dave! Using chemicals for glass cleaning must have felt alien to you 😂
This glass had loads of vape juice (if you call it that) on the windscreen so I didn't want to ruin the synthetic leathers
Nice gesture Dave, came up well, can I drop mine off next week? 😂
Thanks mate
nice 3 hours is quick, i'm not there yet, but good results!
Honestly if you get organised and go through the similar process it becomes easier. I've been slowing down over the past few years but still can get it done in a sufficient time
Hey man, why did you switch from Evo P70 to Evo P80?
Do we really need specialist car cleaning products or will standard household cleaners also do the trick?
Yeah to be honest your typical household stuff hasn't been manufactured to be safe on car exteriors
