      As long as I know there is a good layer of protection on the paint I care a little less about all the dirt. Otherwise it would drive me crazy because I have a black car. I do remove bird poo asap.

    • @SunnyS3506
      @SunnyS3506 Рік тому

      I believe car paint needs some sort of water repellant hydrophobic spray or something so that when it gets dirty you can just spray it down with the hose and the dirt should theoretically fall off reducing the time of the second wash so that and future wash is really a maintenance wash until you see that the water is no longer repelling. I'm looking for something similar but its a mindfield out there...sooo many products.

    Thanks for the heads up about the Yum products. I had watched this before but at the time maybe I was not in the market for more products but I have been impressed with the Yum wheel and tyre preparation products and methods and although you found a durability issue on the ceramic sealant there is no denying the gloss and beading and according to Yum it can be layered with a wax then on maintenance washes use the QD. I might try it but the products are in my opinion on the pricey side.

    Another cracking watch.I was with you every step of the way as my JCW was that colour but with red accents. Angelwax Halo or Corona are good on the plastics but laterally mine were dressed with Gyeon Trim to good effect and I now use M & K Trim exclusively. Under the arches I used either Auto Finnese Dressle but now use Wet Coat on all plastic arches. My wheels were the Gloss black double spokes and were coated with M & K Armour as it sustains high temperature and repels water brilliantly. Auto Finnese Triple is my weapon of choice on door shuts etc but your trick of running water into the shuts is followed by myself and I thank you for that tip. When those Mini's are spotless they look amazing and I would never have sold mine for any other car than the i-Pace. I look forward to the next film.

    And her attention to detail along with her techniques are superior to others I’ve seen.
    What works for me..
    after the jams are cleaned and partially dry use some tire dressing or rubber conditioners on the door seals. These are the first thing the driver’s notice when you open the door. So when you dry the jams it’ll look brand new.
    Keep up the great work !!

    This is an amazing transformation 😀, I find as soon as you clean your car it starts to rain and the car gets dirty again!
    After my recent purchase of wheel Woolies brushes I decided to try them out on my Fiesta, I had 3 different sizes and thought that the big brush was great for the wheels and arches, the medium was used around the calipers, and the small one for the front grille because in previous washes I have found it hard to clean but the brushes really sped up the cleaning process!

Their stuff (for me) is so nice to use and I never had any issues with any product, unlike some of the other well regarded brands. Still, you’ve gotta try different things to find what works for you.

      As for Yum - I’ve used Wash outdoors in the UK summer, usually early morning and no warmer than 20c, and had no problems getting around the whole car before rinsing (medium/midsize car) and have never had issues with residual product. The QD, IMO, has been the easiest by a long way to use. Spray on, work in, flip the towel and buff off. It’s effortless. No streaking. You just need to be careful to keep hold of your towel as the surface becomes so slick your towel wants to slide right off. Water behaviour after QD, and the gloss, have both been excellent too.

The trim dressing sounds interesting, I use Solution Finish on a family member's Mini Cooper (similar to this one) - lasts about 9-12 months. Gtechniq C4 lasts longer but the plastics need to be absolutely spotless using loads of IPA.

Usually I can do about 3 cars with a full foam cannon so about 30 ml of shampoo per wash which is fine for me!

    Been waiting for someone to do yumcars, only problem I have with them is the price, if you buy 5 litres it works out so expensive and they never seem to have any decent sales on.
    I use the same method now for the contact wash, I just bought 5 litres of EZ car care shampoo and put that in my foam Lance after my pre wash, I’ll still have 2 buckets and 1 bucket will still have PH neutral shampoo, at the moment I use Angelwax, Auto glanz, reflect car care, Auto glym and some other car shampoos, I know it adds a extra step and extra cost but the shampoo in the Lance does help with lubrication, great video

      Thanks Imran :) I'm a big fan of that method, and to be honest I've not ended up using much extra shampoo as I can usually cover the car with 300 ml of snow foam and I go for a 30 ml snow foam: 270 ml water mix. I does add a bit of time though but I think it's well worth it for the extra slickness!

    Lovely Jubbly video Heather, have you ever thought of dressing the wheel arches on the cars you detail, I find a sprayable one works best but only last a few weeks depending on weather conditions.?

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  Рік тому

      Thanks Paul :) I do that on my own car on pretty much every wash, I'm a big fan of Detail Bug's Tyre & Trim for that! Sometimes I add a bit when I'm doing the tyres on other cars but forget to film it, it's a good idea though I'll include it on more vids

    Nice work, Minis do look great when all the plastics are freshly dressed.
    I don’t think anything went wrong with your YUM ceramic durability test I’ve seen similar myself and heard plenty of others say 6weeks is more accurate than 6months. Lovely product to use as all of their products I tried are to be fair but also a bit pricey and optimistic on the durability it seems.

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  Рік тому +3

      Cheers Nick :) I do love the look of a Mini, this one isn't very old but even on the old ones the design just doesn't age.
      It probs seems more like a hybrid quick detailer spray then with that level of durability and a focus more on ease of application. The initial water behaviour was very impressive but it did slip off a lot quicker than I was expecting. I'll give it a go on its own again and then maybe as a topper and see what kind of results I get

    Hi Heather, great video. I like that idea with putting the shampoo in the foam cannon and then applying onto the car. I'm currently using bilt hamber car shampoo, which has a high concentration. So just wanted to ask would it b ok to use that in the foam cannon during the contact wash and how much would u suggest to add in (if using the same 300ml total mix) ?
    Also, how do u rate Yum car products overall when compared to bilt hamber?
    thanks

      Thank you! A lot of the time I've found a coated car doesn't really need an APC/ citrus and a snow foam will shift the grime on its own, but if it's been a while since the last wash then I'll use a weak dilution of citrus just on the lower sections

    Nice little video there young lady & this is my first time of watching one of your videos & very well done & explained!! But one question most people when they apply snow foam go from bottom to top up & also wash off from bottom up but you have done the complete opposite may I ask why you do it like that? 🤔 Apart from that great & calming video to watch!!

    I see You holding the brush "like a pen". Nothing wrong with that but I experienced fatigue in the hand when facing those modern large front intakes with thousands of crevices that take ages to clean. Damn Audis and Mazdas ... Holding the brush with four fingers (including the ring finger) spreads the cleaning load more evenly on the hand and makes it less tiring. Other than that: again a very nicely made and edited video - as always!

    Hi Heather,
    My wife has MINI SE in the same colour so took an interest in your video when I viewed it this morning.
    She normally helps me wash her own car but hates the drying process part, seeing the BLO R/S prompted a few comments and questions.
    Is this product worth the £160 outlay and could it be used to dry the whole car rather than using a towel?
    I would appreciate your opinion before committing to purchase
    Merry Christmas 🎄

    • @AutoCareHQ
      @AutoCareHQ  Рік тому +1

      Merry Christmas Steve :) It can definitely be used to dry the whole car but it will add time and in all honestly does feel more tedious than using a towel. The main reason to use it on the whole car is to reduce the risk of any swirls/ marring during the drying process. I've done this review on the dryer which hopefully should answer some questions! ua-cam.com/video/8BFkdJNj9eI/v-deo.html
