      Feel your pain. A layer of permanently wet, leafy slurry along our road and the salt on the roads in the Scottish Highlands ensure that my van is filthy again the very same day I wash it in winter……I just jet wash the arches, as far underneath as I can get (not very far on a heavily lowered van 🙄)and the worst of it off the bodywork at a jet wash over winter now. Still love watching Heather weave her magic though. ❤

      Genuinely completely agree with you. In the uk I think there’s a solid argument for doing a proper wash and putting something on in Nov, then just wipe lights and numberplate for the next 3 months

      @@owainstravels3381 Yup, tbh I bet these detailers who do it for a living don't keep their private car looking perfect (unless its their work car to show off what they can do), I rarely if ever see a clean car on the roads this time of year. Completely wasted effort, time and expense.

    • @KevinAClassA
      @KevinAClassA 3 дні тому +2

      @owainstravels3381 Wrong, I disagree. I have been detailing vehicles for over 45 years, I keep all (3) of my vehicles clean. They get a complete detail every 3 to 4 months and washed every week. It is just how I live, everything must be clean. I spent 12 years in the Marine Corp, maybe that is my issue, but I find nothing wrong with that.
      Have an excellent week.

    You've excelled yourself yet again Heather. Like you, the signature vehicle for my valeting and detailing business was an MX-5. I say was, because it became a victim of the dreaded tin worm (rust), despite all the care and attention. I'm keen to find a decent interior mist preventer for my dad's car so he can drive safer.

    MX5 is looking as good as ever! Not sure if you've thought of one but in Winter, I'd recommend getting a hold of an undercarriage wash attachment for the pressure washer - they're about £30-40. Amazing the amount of stuff that comes off and gets the salt off all the parts under there during the Winter months too.

    Another great video! Thank you for sharing - I too had the same problem 12 months ago when using Gyeon Anti-Fog on one of my cars, it was just so difficult to remove the smearing after it was applied. In the end I used a paper towel to remove as much as possible and then followed up with a slightly damp (with water) Glass Polishing e-Cloth - I'm sure this probably removed all of the product. Now I just make sure that my inner glass is as clean as possible, Bilt Hamber Trace-Less is good for this.

I went and looked at the new Z when I took mine in for routine maintenance and to be honest, the 370Z looks better in my opinion. The seats in the new Nismo version were way too tight and I'm not a big guy either. I'm keeping it for a while until I can upgrade to a Toyota Supra! I've wanted one of those since the new one came out.

However, just noticed (cant believe i didnt notice earlier 🤦🏻) that i have a 1" x 2" patch of rust bubbles on back wheel arch 😭 when prewashing/washing should i work around it? As in, dont go over it directly with Pressure washer hose or wash mitt. Worried about ripping the paint off! Second question, have noticed you use Soft99 Glaco in the past, would you say the product you used in this vid is better? I dont have a polisher so Glaco was what I was thinking of getting.

      I would avoid blasting it with the pressure washer but as long as the paint is intact then I think you should be okay going over it gently with the wash mitt.

    My GF has an '21 MX-5 RF in blue with the smaller black wheels. A Great car she's just spent £700 getting the bodywork and wheels refurbished. I'll put a ceramic coating on it in the Spring- probably going to use Pan's Clean 8 year coating when it finally gets here, because it seems like its got the most modern chemistry, durability, gloss and hydrophobicity also having the benefit of easy install and chemical bonding to the paint surface. It's funny seeing all The Rag Company microfiber products at each stage that you have recommended and I now own! I do actually need a quality hose pipe as the inside of the hose has collapsed and is restricting supply pressure to my pressure washer- Any solid recommendations?

      Thank you! It seems like this is a fairly common problem when I've looked at some reviews. I think it was about 12 Celcius here and about 70% humidity

    Apart from the fantastic job you just did, how's the little Mazda holding up?
    I was looking around and they seem to be a very good compromise in quality/price, but I'm a bit esitant with the thousands of equal but different hybrid options they offer, it's just really confusing

    Great video! Just a quick question: when brushing your Pilot Sport 5 with a tyre brush, are you brushing it really hard? Cuz I heard that when brushing the tyre really hard, the black velvet part will come off, so I only brush my tyres with a big detail brush.

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  5 днів тому +1

      Thank you! Nope I don't put too much pressure. I wouldn't use one of those very stiff bristle tyre brushes either on this though

    Great job Heather, was the steam on the mats to bring the pile back up of was it a method of cleaning them? Nice glossy results on the paintwork, i find its much easier to get good results like that if you just stay on top off the cleaning and do a good job regularly, great work keep it up Heather.

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  5 днів тому +1

      Thanks Chris! It was a bit of both really. The steam is enough to keep these pretty clean as they don't get too dirty in between. I usually give them a proper extraction every 4 months or so to deep clean them too

    Would you use the same ratio for the wheel shampoo in a pump foamer as in the lance?

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  5 днів тому +1

      Nope I would use more in the lance as that will dilute it further. Around 20ml of product to 500ml of water should be about right in a foamer

    Hi Heather, can you explain why you don't wash all jams and simply just dry them after washing? This method seems to be a risk for the paint imo.
    Second, have you ever used View Evo? If you use two coats without removing in between, this new version applies quite easily and works a treat! Please let me know your opinion on this product. Keep it up!

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  6 днів тому +2

      Thanks for watching 😊 the door jambs never get that dirty with my car and most of the dirt gets washed away through the panel gaps during the exterior cleaning process. If they were dirtier though I’d use a mitt and shampoo as that’s definitely a safer method if there’s any grit in there.
      I’ve not tried View Evo unfortunately, looks like it could be a good one to try though!

    Really interesting to hear you mostly leave your car to air dry now with the DI water. It’s something I’ve considered before but it always felt slightly wrong to just leave it wet! Does it work well in any weather (sun/hot/cold etc.)?

      Haha I know what you mean, I only really do it on my car tbh. I've not had any trouble with it in any weather condition, but when it's going to freeze I will fully dry the car just so I don't get beads of ice in the morning haha
