Worth noting that the engine was left on as I'd been under the bonnet and had flushed the engine bay... Technical problems with gopro/canon meant that i couldn't use the footage. Will save till another time.
Is that to do with the cold? I'm from a warm climate.
There is no other detailing channel on youtube that I watch the entire video. Start to finish, everytime. Thank you Jim. Cheers.
Welcome! Thanks brother.
I’ve watched a ton of UA-cam detailing videos over the years, but somehow managed to pick up a ton of little things from this one. Things like how you fold over the tape when tearing it off instead of trying to “match up” two seams and flooding the trunk (I’m American) to rinse the degreaser/APC instead of spraying it off. These are things that I’d eventually figure out myself (maybe), but watching you do it-it just makes sense. Thanks for you vlog series, I constantly marvel at your level of detail and the love of your work.
Finally a man who knows how to do stuff: first thing first...gloves! Nice garage....congats...I am planning to buy a 2006 z4M roadster pretty soon!
Summer is comin ... back to the reference video for washing my car... especially after a miserable winter. Thanks Mr W. :)
Love those cars....buying a Z4 this week. 3.0 convertible 6 speed.
dave runner - I’m curious: did you buy the Z4?! If so, could you tell me a bit about it, please (e.g., year model, coupe or roadster, mileage, price paid, etc.)? Thinking of buying one myself. Thanks.
@@jrh11254 I bought it. Still have it. Drive the hell out of it every chance I get. Pushing 200,000 miles.
BMW Z4 owners group on FB
@@jrh11254 I bought a 2.5 at the beginning of the pandemic with 54k on the clock. Even tho it's the nerf version, I love this car
@@m32mikestu - I’m very happy for you! I’ll likely never have Z4 in any configuration. While I love the looks of them I’m not much of a driving enthusiast. I just sold my ‘13 Avalon (how is that for a non-enthusiast’s car) so that I could buy a low-mileage ‘06 Tacoma. No winding country lanes where I live (30 miles E of Houston)...no hills...just flat concrete and asphalt as far as the eye can see. As the new owner of an old truck (my first) I’ll sort of fit in with the clientele of this area.
I’m really glad you got a car that you love and that you love to drive!
Such an amazing car ...im very happy that it got an owner who would care for it properly and preserve such an unicorn
Drove a z4M today with summer tires (Bridgestone Potenza RE760) in the Montreal area in the canadian winter....crazy isn't it? But today it was beautiful, sunny and the roads were clean and dry: I needeed 5 minutes to adjust the seats on my height, mirrors, get used to the loading rifle grearshifter (gorgeous bythe way) and then off we go...on the highway the sound and the acceleration were astonishing...and surprisingly it was very easy to drive...Its been 20 years I am driving exclusively MT cars! What a blast!
Well Jim, you just proved my point to my wife who complains about how long I take to wash the car. It’s all about the prep work. You can have all the best equipment and polishes, but if the prep isn’t done, you simply will not get the results. Thanks Jim. P.S. I certainly hope there’s a part II?!
Plan was for a Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, V etc... Ended up just enjoying some queiter time between XMAS and NYE. Still have some cutting to do before the machine works complete so will be sure to keep documenting from there. Cheers!
Thanks for the update Jim. Big fan, and I will be looking forward to it. Cheers!
appreciated additional commentary, especially jamb flush, initial rinse. good video.
Great to see you find the time to do your own car. Looking forward to seeing the transformation takes place!
Perfect combination of explanation with how to. One of the best detailing videos on UA-cam. Thanks.
Big fan over here in the States, Jim. And a proud Jag F-Type owner as well. Your vids have helped me from damaging it's incredibly soft, black paint.
I remember watching this video just as I bought my Z4.
It’s an awesome car and a great car to detail. Very satisfying.
Jim I want to thank you for these videos. Watching you transform cars into gems day in and day out has convinced me to attempt do the same. Got a bunch of detailing equipment from relatives for Christmas, probably since I don't stop showing people your vids! Keep up the amazing work, cheers!
Nicely done Dylan, thanks for reaching out. All the best.
A White Details day is the best kind of day. Thanks, Jim!
what a good guy and does nice work
Very nice car. I’ve never seen this model of BMW here in Canada. I like the shape of it. As always you did a lovely job of bringing the shine back.
Oh, by the way I clean my s1 the same way as you now,bought it new about the same time as I started watching your vlogs.Thank you for saving my car.Hope you have best 2018 you can...
wow a pressure washer on the door jams ,a lot of folks would wet their pants at this!I think it's bloody cool!
TBH I think cleaning arches and such are the more interesting things. You dont get to see it that often, and the results are super fun to see since the difference often is so huge.
That wand drop @ 14:48...dayum! =O
haha! you guys miss nothing
I just love your videos! Somehow I'm content to watch and watch... Have you seen those 45 degree grit guards for the rinse bucket? They make it super easy to scrub on the rinse. Something else I picked up from Adam is the pump pressurized sprayers. They are awesome! So much better than pumping and pumping. I need to check out that brush you are using. I have a smaller one for lug nuts and such, but I really like the size of yours. Your organization is killer. You know where everything is. So awesome to watch you work. Thanks! Franny
Thanks Franny! The Detail Factory brush is worth checking out; super soft! I've a couple, one for exterior duties and then a smaller handled version for interior fascias, vents etc.
Enjoyed that Jim, been cleaning my Z4M for 10 years and it never occurred to me to rinse the boot shuts with the boot closed. Looking forward to the polishing follow up.
I bet it's nice to do your own car for once! Once again nice vlog!
Fantastic video. Love your attention to detail to prevent marring.
Have a look at the evolve carbon airbox for your car. The induction noise is incredible.
possibly best video out there how to wash a car FACT
I'm really looking forward to the next video. Especially the front bumper will be interesting to see if you get it looking good again. But as we are used, to your job, you won't stop until it will. :) Like always, very interesting. :)
Awesome as always! Need a driving video of it now! Must be a blast to drive. I got the 135i and this one's even smaller!
Cant wait to see this car getting some whitedetail magic
This is the basics for a « right detail » 😉
Thank you Jim!!!
Wow, very impressive. Extremely well organized as well as your explanations throughout your video.
Very nice car Jim, I can see why you got it!!
Nice car, good to see it's getting the care it deserves!
One of my dream cars! Nice to see how to clean something properly. Unfortunately I clean 4-5 cars at once which takes about 3 hours so to do each properly would take all weekend! Good tips though mate.
Video's are brilliant. Always watch from start to finish picking up tips. Keep up the good work 👍👍
HOW HAVE I JUST MISSED THIS! OH MAN! I"M SO LATE! Never Again!
Great video Jim. I have recently got a new car and will be booking a couple of days off when the weather gets better to give it an Adam detail well as best as I can and what's available to me. I have learnt a lot from your videos over the last year or so and look forward to watching more content and the finished article the Z4 M.
I’ve picked so many tips up off this one video. Brilliant many thanks
Ah man I've been jonesing for this first vlog of 2018!!!!! Happy New Year Jim!
Always worth a watch with a brew 👍🏻
You could spray the discs with BH Atom Mac Buddy to inhibit the onset of rust...great vid as always
I'm very exited about the process and results. Thanks!
A wonderful video Jim,so much useful information many thanks 👍
Hi Jim happy new year,Great wash Video,as always 👍👍👍
You should really do epoxy resin flooring on the side where you clay the car, much easier in cleaning and longer lasting.
Keep it up though, you're a real inspiration!
Great video as normal ,I have a z4 too ,had it 4 years now love it ,my week end toy ,and on going project ,enjoy the car they are great fun
I really enjoy this. I want to clean my car like this
First time watching your channel. Sweet garage set up.
Man you really need to Clean the outside of that bucket a place a nice White Detail Sticker on it
Good vid
I like all your videos jim but i realy cant wait to see how this turns out.
Cheers Jim! Me too!!
Glad to see ya back jim👍hope you and family had a great xmas🎉🎉
great videos Jim, ive picked a few things up from you which makes my day to day work easier! thanks! :)
Great video as always Jim
Great video Jim as usual.
Instead of a second bucket just use the pressure washer to blow off dirt from the mitt. It will be definitely cleaner than with the second bucket method.
Happy new year Jim. Great video as ever, looking forward to see the next instalments 👍
Beautiful car man, congrats!
Quality video can’t wait for more. 🚙👌
First vid Ive watched of your and wowwwwww, it's amazing! Thanks and looking forward to more :D
Happy new year pal, looking forward to this one
Happy new year Jim!! Joy your New Car!!
Great video. Really enjoyed it!
Great video. I love your garage!
Cant wait for the next video! Keep up with the good work and thank you for sharing (y)
Great video as always Jim, Will you do a video on the PTG in the future? absolutely love the work that you do, Keep it up and keep the videos coming.
Why am i the only one that dont have the windscreen wipers down on the glass when I wash the car?
All contamination from the roof runs down and get stuck on the rubber of the wipers?
So much nicer than the convertible!
Possibly have the bumper re painted properly?
I still may get it done. Keen to see first though how it comes up after some machine work.
WhiteDetails yeah I suppose there's no rush being your own car. Always worth a machine polish and if needs be a re paint in the future. Nice to see you working on your own car while you have the time!
Very helpful thanks Jim 👌🏻
Best wishes for 2018 mate!!! 🤙🏼
Nice work, I've got the same car....quick question, why was the car running when you were washing it....? Would you not get a hot spot on the bonnet?
He pinned a comment saying that he had left the engine on because he had detailed the engine bay and had left it running to allow it to dry.
Firstly, I enjoyed the video, great car. Was there any reason you dried the car before the clay bar came out? also, has it had the side reflectors deleted or is this an 'M' thing? I have a regular semi skinned coupe, not the full fat 3.2. You're also about a half-hour away from me, needs a respray but I may have to book you in. Love the car, the perfect little pocket GT for those road trips to the continent.
Hi Jim great video. Did I miss what you had in the spray bottle before snow foam? Think you said degreaser?
Hi Ian - a generic all purpose cleaner, AutoSmart G101 for the exterior cleanse (not recommended as a maintenance use product)
I really enjoy all your videos and have watched from video one! Can you please tell me which all purpose cleaner your using on the door shuts? Thank you for all that you do for the detailing community have a wonderful weekend Jim.
Hi!
I Would you ask What is your high pressure Why please!?
Continue like this your Channel is cool!
Thanks for your Tuto vidéo!
Great video once again Jim! Can't wait to see the result!
Beautiful job amazing 👌👌👌
Radiator brush exposed metal needs wrapping with some electrical tape 👍
Exposed metal? What exposed metal? Naturally, this was the first thing I removed :)
Weheyyy been waiting for this 😬😬
Why do you wash the car with the engine on ? I don't understand at all ...
If the car was below zero the wash water would freeze on it, guess it was to thaw it out a little?
LCT But engine on or off won't change that..
He pinned a comment saying that he had left the engine on because he had detailed the engine bay and had left it running to allow it to dry.
Maybe i'm wrong or you switched buckets but at about the 12:30 mark you started rinsing the mitt in the wash bucket ? the one without the grit guard so aren't you now affectively putting dirty water back onto the car
Alright Sherlock! ;) - watch again... see that the shampoo bucket has been ID'd with a blue band of tape round the top. At 12:30 mark, you'll see that for whatever reason, the buckets have just switched places... Nice try lol
Just making sure haha
Hi Jim, where is your wash mitt from? Any links would be greatly appreciated 👌 keep up the good work such a good role model for those who are keen about taking care of their cars :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts along the way. Glad that we share the same for the most part. Maybe I’m not as insane as some may think lol. Good stuff as always. You’re the man 👍
Jim love the content you post up, do you ever wet sand before you go over with the machine on some of the deeper scratched areas?
Great video, looking forward to better weather to let me do "similar" to my E92 M3. How do you get rid of the yellowish "transportation wax" from door jams etc?
Hey James, do you use a paint gauge to find the thickness of the paint on customers cars? If so which gauge do you recommend and could you put that step in a future video. Thanks for the videos, I learn on each one!
do a video on the silver 3 series estate that you have!
Another great video, as always. What shampoo are you using please Jim?
How much does a full detail with all the bells and whistles cost?
Love you videos! :)
love the new motor Jim....do you have a link for the panel wipe you use please...many thanks....Lee
Enjoyed your vlog.. what was the spray you used after cleaning underneath the sills... before you got your yellow cloth to check for tar deposits.
You wash car extensively than Clay....and wipe dirt released from clay off...any rationale for that?
Yeah i would say 9/10 cars i have done have atleast one repainted panel.
When's the update to this video coming out buddy?
J'adore ce z4 M 👍🏻🦄
Another great video! Quick question- the lance you are using doesn’t look like the standard item supplied with the K7 - is it a custom set up?
Changed out a bit since the supplied Kranzle lance. It's an ST300 (i think) gun with various quick release attachments. Purchased through Q Services Pressure Washers
How do you wash your drying towels , or any microfiber .. what product you using to wash them .
