    I filmed this video at the end of September and held back on the upload as I wanted to monitor the performance of Synergy Lite before I released it. I can safely say that it's performing incredibly well and I'm really impressed with the product so far. As I mentioned in the video, I'll mainly be providing updates on the product through Instagram (instagram.com/autocarehq/)
    As always, links to all the products used in the video are in the description. Thanks for watching!

    Great job Heather. I applied Synergy Lite to my wife's Mini. Left it for 3 weeks before washing and I felt at that point it had lost quite a bit of its beading and sheeting. Gave it a wash with GT Decon at 5% and it revived the Synergy Lite. The car is now super hydrophobic and the gloss level is brilliant. 3 months later, it still looks fantastic.

      Cheers Kenny! That's brill thanks for letting me know! Mine is at about 1.5 months and still looks really good but I reckon it'll need a decon wash at some point over winter probs

    Hands down the best detailing channel out there. Just everything….presentation, description of products and how best to use them and exactly what they do, very detailed and steady camera shooting (rather than the head-cam/hand held/one handed efforts on a lot of other channels) that correlate exactly with what is being said at the time in the video. Brilliant editing too without being too fancy. Nicely ambient sounds in the background that don’t get in the way of the narration or annoy by being too loud and no rowdy drum and bass nonsense to struggle through! All this with such an adorable and friendly host, calm and soothing voice and that lovely accent. Everything is covered here and absolutely blows the soapy suds out of most of the other stuff I have watched. I don’t know how you clean cars so beautifully and manage to capture it so perfectly…..I can barely get round my van with just the power washer without knocking buckets and bottles over and getting in a tangle of cables and hoses 😖🙄😬 I just cannot imagine the added stress of recording it!! Really excellent work Heather and your car looks amazing! 🫡🫡🫡

    What a really smart car that is when it is fully dressed so much so when my mate was saying he was buying a black one I told him to reconsider getting a red one. Your wheels are really smart are they gun metal in colour. I sold my mini after putting on my ceramic coating partly because I regretted doing it as I like to wax and I would have missed the whole decon wash process twice a year. That is a good point re the softer brush on maintenance washes. I was having a discussion with a fellow detailer about tyre prep in that we are all obsessed in removing the brown gunk from tyres that is in fact the UV protectant the manufacturers put in the tyre. I now only hit them once and re apply serum. I have topped the serum with a tyre creme to good effect also. Another really good watch.

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks very much John! Yep they're a kind of gun metal colour, they can look a bit more silver when it's bright but that's rare in this climate lol. That was my concern with coating this to be honest so I thought I'd just try a 12 month one to start with. I look after 5 cars pretty often so fortunately I can use them to test new things out so it's not bothering me much atm. Completely agree, there's no need to be battering the tyres with heavy cleaners if you can maintain them frequently with something like Tyre Serum

    7:37 True. But even if you don't wash your vehicle every single week, like me, claying and polishing is a bit unnecessary. I always wash my car once in a few months, sometimes monthly. No scratches; I wash very carefully, no carwashes etc. And if I don't use the car, it sits dry in the garage. 😇 My 2016 Ford Fiesta ST-Line still looks like new after each wash. Only 32.000 km's driven.

  • @WhoAmI-bh3pw
    @WhoAmI-bh3pw 2 роки тому

    Excellent presentation as always. Would love to get updates on Synergy Lite as to water spots, hydrophobicity, and durability. And also whether layering adds noticeably to looks or durability. The last part might persuade me to switch from my winter go-to, Fusso, which lasts me 7-8 rainy months, but doesn't add to looks. I'm in the US but my region has weather just like the UK, and my car sleeps outside, so most protection lasts half of what's advertised.

    Great to see the car on the channel - such a nice colour. Decon wash is awesome stuff for sure, so versatile. Not tried a lot of Infinity Wax products - do you like the ones you’ve used? My winter prep was Gyeon Wax on top of my Gyeon EVO ONE coating - both products are epic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy having a ceramic, the ‘self cleaning’ aspect impressed me the most. Top job as always !

    I enjoyed this video very much. It makes sense not to cut and polish the clear coat when it isn’t necessary. Same for clay barring. If paint feels smooth , why bother? I really dig the shape and the lines of your car. You rarely see the hardtop here in South Florida, where most opt for the convertible.

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Jeffrey! I can imagine the soft top being a lot more popular over in Florida.

With the weather here though I never really get the chance to put the roof down 😂

    Fantastic job and those Infinity Wax Synergy products seem very interesting think I'll give them a try in the future. In preparation to use those would it be ok to use something like Chemical Guys Clean Slate to remove all previous sealants/waxes etc before applying the Infinity Wax spray on ceramic coating? I had my car ceramic coated with CarPro CQUARTZ 2.0 in January so would all this be overkill...?

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  2 роки тому +3

      Thanks very much!
      I'd go for the Garage Therapy Decon Shampoo instead of Clean Slate. I've tried that one before and it's not a patch on the decon shampoo from my experience.
      I reckon that it'd probs be overkill if your car is already coated to be honest. If you find the water behaviour dying off a bit you can give it a wash with that Decon Shampoo and it should help to unclog it and revive it a lot. I've heard good things about CarPro Reload too so that might be a good option to top up the protection if it needs it

    Super travail comme d'habitude en plus tu n'as pas appliqué la technique des deux sceaux ça change ça varie les plaisirs. Le synergie lite apporte t-il plus de brillance qu'une simple wax comme l'hybride céramique de turtle wax? Merci

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  2 роки тому +1

      Merci d'avoir regardé :) Pour être honnête, je ne remarque pas beaucoup de différence en termes de brillance avec beaucoup de produits sur ma voiture car la peinture a déjà été polie, donc je pense que j'aurais du mal à voir une différence si je le faisais un test côte à côte avec le produit Turtle Wax.

    • @taylorthrall7321
      @taylorthrall7321 2 роки тому +2

      Greenstar is an APC, will cut through more but potentially caustic. Forst is very expensive. Just use a citrus pre-wash or use greenstar. Or use ONR before hand, blast away with water and then use prewash

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  2 роки тому +3

      Thanks Chris! I've only ever used Greenstar at 10% and found it cuts through pretty much everything to be honest. Forst is a lot more expensive so it's best just for using on really grubby areas rather than pre-washing everything as it can get a bit pricey. Greenstar is phosphate/ NTA free and has corrosion inhibitors whereas it doesn't say anything about that on the Stjarnagloss website so Forst could even be more caustic than Greenstar, especially consider you only need to use it at 10%

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks very much James! The GT CS is definitely more of sealant and the durability claim is about 5-6 months so much less than this coating (but time will tell how long this lasts!). I'd probably say the GT CS feels a bit slicker, but the hydrophobics are pretty similar. I think they cost roughly the same price for a 100 ml bottle of Synergy Lite and 500 ml bottle of CS
