I’ve added links to all the accessories in the video description as well as some discount codes which work on certain products.

Hey Heather i have Garage Therapy V1 snow foam and yes i have been slow to use it because i'm working my way through other's, because you have had first hand experience with this how much should i add to a 1 litre lance. I know the info on the bottle is when working with 500ml but i'm washing a VW Amarok dual cab ute so would i add 200ml product to 800ml water? I did contact GT they said start with 100ml product and work up, but i haven't got time to muck around. Cheers mate
@@ilikechickensausages2075 It depends on what foam cannon you're using to be honest. If you're using an MJJC (or something else that guzzles the solution), go for 100:900 ml. But if you're using a less thirsty foam cannon (like an MTM) then go for 200:800
@@AutoCareHQ I will split the difference and go 150ml product to 850ml water my foam lance/cannon is in between a guzzling one but it's not a MTM or MJJC. Thank's heaps for the information i will try it give you a sit rep it's a white car with about 40 day's worth of winter road wash now! Just to get some decent weather.
Hi, What are you spraying on the Scrub Pads for cleaning the Dash and Interior. Or can you recommend a good SCENTED interior cleaner. Thanks for the great videos.
You've come a very long way and you should be very proud of yourself. The way you produce your video's isn't full of the most expensive products and everything is done that a beginner could understand. Never a boring video, never the same car over and over again, keep them coming.
Great recommendations Heather, I've just placed an order with In2Detailing for the pump sprayer, scrub pads, tyre brush and glass towel based on your suggestions. Thank you.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Heather does a great job of explaining her process and the products and equipment she is using. Excellent!
I've just upgraded my stubby gun to an SGS35 with Carscope nozzles and I'm very impressed with it. The difference from the budget gun is definitely worth the extra cost imo.
Just bought the EZ Go brush for wheel arches and when you said 'can't imagine life without it' I get where you are coming from.. Unbelievable performance and so quick to do such an awkward job ...
This is the first video I watched on your channel. What a wonderful accent and voice you have there. I'm very interested in languages and accents, so I really enjoyed the video, but for the wrong reasons. 😁
Just wanted to say thank you for the recommendations! The Rim Mats and the Tire Dressing Brush are awesome (I know they are not featured in this video). Totally worth the shipping to the States. 😀
Thanks for watching Nigel, I'm gonna plan a few more of these kinds of videos :) They do feel abrasive but won't damage hard plastics (except for piano black/ high gloss finishes)
Love the IK Pump sprayer. I would up purchasing a mothers wheel brush for using on the tyres as I found the majority of tyre specific ones had super stiff bristles and were fairly hard on the wrist when cleaning tyres. I will add an honourable mention for the Gyeon Q2M kneel matt (or any similar thing) for cleaning wheels, makes it easier going on the knees and couldn't do without it now!
Great video again. Some products already using, so good to know you like them aswell. Nice and easy to understand voice and pronunciation as English isnt my first language. Love the clean accent as far as i can tell :)
Great video. I really must get an IK Pump Sprayer. Another use for them is if you are doing a pre spray on a rinseless wash product like ONR. Using a trigger spray can cause finger cramps!
Been watching your video for a while now and picked up loads of tips. Started using Garage Therapy and wow what a difference with decent products. Biggest upgrade for myself was the Ik foamer and the sprayer. Just started using HDD road rage as my pre wash, brilliant stuff! Keep the good work up! 😀
Thanks very much! I'm glad you're enjoying the GT products, definitely some of my favourites. HDD Road Rage is on my list of products to try, looks very effective
Hello Heather,I own a couple of these tools myself, especially the EZ go brush for the wheel arches.the wheel mitt brush ideal for the wheels as they don't scratch.
Some good bits in there 👍 I’ve just got the DF tyre brush and wish I had got it sooner. I was using one of those stiffer tyre brushes and the DF one is far more effective. The E-Z bog brush is another go to when doing arches
Great selection! Definitely the scrub pads and arch brush are something to invest in. I’m 100% not a first-adopter (probably the same with a lot of enthusiasts) so I’ve certainly had those moments of ‘wish I’d bought this earlier’ haha Although the upside is that my kit isn’t full of cak which I never use 👌
You have to try the microfiber madness wash mitt. For me it’s the best mitt that you can get! much better quality and softness than the mit fm the rag company
Absolutely love u video's best detailing chanel out there you always explain all the product's u use and the way u use them learned so much off u thanks for taking the time to show us keep up the good work u do from Richard in Cardiff
I just wanted to say thank you for some brilliant content which I find interesting and helpful in developing my own skills. I have followed the links and purchased a few towels and the wheel-arch brush I used your code for some discount thank you. I find the style of your videos so refreshing and clear its so nice to to see a delightful young woman dealing with this topic. Well done Heather.
Hello Heather, some very useful recommendations based on real world testing & experience, so thank ypu for sharing your insights and of course the recommendations 👏. Can you recommend your preferred drying towel Heather and if you have used the 350gsm Rag company Edgeless microfiber would you recommend this towel also. I do need to replace my towels as they not edgeless. Thanks again ! Graham.
Thanks for watching Graham! Have a look at this article, it'll explain my microfiber choices better than I can on here :) autocarehq.com/the-best-microfiber-towels-for-every-car-detailing-task/
@@AutoCareHQ Brill, thanks Heather.....hope the weather where you are is a whole lot better than up here in Northumberland........atrocious rain 🌧 bursts......almost impossible to keep the car clean! 🚗 🙁
Thanks for the recommendations, another really useful video, Heather! Love that microfibre wheel brush, I have a similar Halfords one but the sleeve that holds the fibre section keeps slipping down the shaft during use and you have to keep pulling it up tight so I’m definitely looking to change it…..that bucket side tool holder thingy looks well handy too! Quick question though, you showed the interior scrub pad on interior plastics but how do you rinse the product suds off? Cheers! 🙏
Thanks for watching! With the scrub pads I just use a microfiber towel to wipe up the foam. As long as you use a decent interior cleaner which doesn't leave residue it works really well
Hi heather I hope you are well thanks for sharing your weapon accessories what do think? For clean dryer car cloth what is better microfibre soap or regular laundry soap. Best.
Thanks Jorge, hope you are well too. I am using The Rag Company/ P&S Rags to Riches at the moment :) If you use a regular laundry soap, just make sure it's liquid rather than powder and is free from bleach
I match with you everything apart from the bucket tidy and the arch toilet brush as I use the long handled Vican brush as I find it goes in further and have had it for 5 years and is as good as new. The microfibers I have collected many from Auto Finesse, Gyeon, WoWo's and Mitchell & King and renew as and when I need but have a large storage box with unopened packs of various cloths to work through so I should renew sooner or buy less. The stock controller hat seems to be lost.
Great videos from you. Can i say you will not use a better cannon than the new Autobrite snow foam cannon, Autobrite are local to me so i have the added benefit of going to the store and all theor events but this is Autobrites best ever accessory
Tried them Eagle Edge less 500 towels the yellow ones and they kept leaving tiny bits of lint every where 😡😡 even after a wash in my opinion they are pants lol I use them for door shuts and moping up water in engine bay went with the paragon towels much better in my opinion also treated myself to the i k sprayer pro 9 litres so much easier for you to apply your nitty gritty or h d d road rage that foam cannon looks cool must get 1 to try out have you got a discount code for it Heather 🤔🤔😏😏👍👍
That's really gutting! Mine have always been spot on, could be a faulty batch maybe 🤔 Yep if you use ACHQ on the Pyramid Hydro Cannon you should be able to get about £10 off
Solid recommendations and a number of items where I thought the same as you did initially but noting that once bought you wouldn't do with them means I'll pull the trigger this time I think. You referenced the edgeless for the MX5 ref the soft paint, I'm in the same boat tho my car is the bright orange of the 30th Anniversary Edition. Are there any other products (mitts etc) you would recommend for the super soft paint on that car? Cheers, Kevin
Thanks for watching Kevin. I love the 30th anniversary edition MX5. I'd definitely look for a 70/30 microfiber blend as the towels will be softer compared to an 80/20 blend. The Eagle Edgeless 500 and Edgeless 365 are the two I usually go for with my car. As long as you look after the microfiber and don't wash/ dry on high heat or use washing powder you should be totally fine
What am I doing wrong that I find my IK sprayers absolutely crap. The foaming one you’ve got to pump about 50 times to get like 2 seconds of decent spraying then starts spitting.
What product are you using . Try only filling the IK foamer half way so there is more space for the air inside the foamer... What colour insert are you using . Should have come with 3 colored little inserts .. Unfortunately the IK FOAMER doesn't have a long spray time but should be able to get and ok time from it
@@TheHairyHouseWife usually garage therapy wheel shampoo, not sure about insert colour, it’s whatever one it came fitted with as I haven’t changed it. I’ll try the half full thing 👍
Also, check the little foam filter. I've read others saying certain products can clog them up really quickly. And once you've used it, pump and run water through it to remove as much product as possible, which clogs the filter. But yeah, it doesn't last very long. A whole wheel or the side skirt is about it for me.
Hi Heather, I just had CQ finest reserve installed by a professional detail shop, looks great no high spot visible from any light angle, even with spot light. however, when I blow warm air with mouth, I can see streaks appear through the steam on paint, this is consistent everywhere. Is this normal? or it will disappear once fully cured? Thanks!
I haven't tried it myself so I can't say for sure but I wouldn't worry too much about it especially if you can't see any high spots. Once it's cured it should hopefully go, just give it plenty of time before washing it
@@AutoCareHQ Thanks for the reply, I think I know what those streaks are, not high spots but it's the final wipe down after polish, not sure what they used, but leaving streaks, sealed by the coating later on.. I found the same on the tail lights, those streak flow connect to the paint, but can be wiped off, since tail lights are not coated.
Thank you Heather for this Video and some great suggestions. I’ve got to get me an IK sprayer. Would you rate a microfibre wash mitt over a lambswool one? I’m thinking of changing over to MF one
Cheers Darren 😊 I prefer a microfiber one personally. Just find them easier to clean really, although I do use a lambs wool wheel mitt on my own car but just because it never gets that dirty!
Have a look at this article, it'll explain my choice better than I can on here :) autocarehq.com/the-best-microfiber-towels-for-every-car-detailing-task/
Detailing cars seems like good money, but thinking about all the chemicals now kinda worries me. I wonder if it's possible to do a good job with "safer" ingredients
Many thanks for sharing 👍 your right about mazda paint work ! Had a CX3 same colour as your mx5 . Beautiful colour but a nightmare with stone chips !!! 🍟 😢
Cheers Brian :) I'm glad someone else knows the pain of Mazda paint 😂 I love the colour but sometimes I wish I'd have just bought a German car with harder paint haha
Those drill attachments are a game changer whenever it comes to deep cleaning fabric or even well protected leather - it's just a short time of getting used to managing speed and pressure when getting to grids.
