Felicity was always so proud of you and loved watching your new videos , I can hear her now saying 'oh Dave I love it'!!! In her way. Miss her terribly. Amazing job Hun xxx
Great video and story mate, she knew you were busy with life and your business and not just avoiding doing the car, don’t let that stuff eat you up it’s a slow dangerous path to go down. At least she has seen it now!
I appreciate you posting this. The emotion came through and is NOTHING to be ashamed of. Love that you eventually got to it. I hope many that watched this realise that sometimes we cannot put things in our lives off for too long, because we don't know where the journey will take us.
Dave just watched your video about the kia she would be absolutely 💯% proud of you and what you have done im a 62 year old man and I have tears in my eyes love your channel I love cleaning cars and have learnt a lot from your channel.so don't beat yourself up keep up excellent work ❤
Thanks for the long video! I was waiting for something like this for long from a professional detailer. I never miss a video from you. Keep them coming. Very touching of you cleaning her car. She will see it! She is looking down on you and feeling proud. Lesson learned we must fulfil our promises because we don’t know what tomorrow brings. We won’t live for ever.
Sad story for a nice conclusion. Take a deep breath,keep your head high,you can be proud of you dear friend. The results are really excellent,thumbs up from France.👍👍👍
Don’t blame yourself This is how life works,we are all human and busy with all aspects of life It’s a nice tribute to her and I think she knows and can see what you did Love the channel and be proud of what you’ve achieved Greetings from the Netherlands
Sorry for your loss .. it was lovely to see a detailing video that as a rule gave not very much “ personality “ have such a deep and meaningful story behind it .
Definitely one of your best details if not the best! I am sure she is thinking something like "thats my boys" meaning you and her car as she watched you doing this from the sky...big hugs and keep strong , I am sure she is proud of you!
This is DEFINITELY my favourite car detailing Chanel. Thanks so much 🙏🏼 I've picked up so many tips and now finally feel like I'm starting to know what I'm doing 😂
Dave I noticed during the video you mentioned how car detailing is a therapy for you. With your emotional attachment to this car and Felicity I can understand your self questioning weather this was a video you weren’t sure to make or not. You’ve done an amazing job on the car, you’ve certainly done Felicity Proud, I’m sure she’s still looking out for you ❤ and this job will have bee very therapeutic for you. Keep doing what you do, as you do it with such honesty 👍🏻👍🏻
Incredible final results. Looks like a brand new car just out of the showroom. Your experience and knowledge of car detailing really came to the fore on this project. 👍🚗
First I must say I love your videos. I love watching what you do & then going & trying this on my own cars (Peugeot 3008 GT, MG ZTT, MGF & Suzuki Swace) , and although my disability prevents me from being as quick as some who are physically able. Your intro & the way you talk about Felicity, we can all see how much she meant to you & how much doing this job means to you too. If anyone can take anything from this; life is short, life is precious, if you have anything or seeing anyone on your "one day" list, do it & do it ASAP.. Keep up the great work
@@epicautomotivedetailing can I ask you where you got your stool from that you’re standing on to do the roof in this video? I’m looking for something sturdy to use myself, to get onto the roof of an SUV rather than using an arched noodle head brush
I’ve been using a Temu tyre brush for since beginning of the year and it’s still holding up like it was new. No complains from me. Nice touching video as well, RIP felicity.
Sometimes life gets in the way of "life". If we knew what was going to happen we would ALL win the lottery. I have been a professor of Hindsight for many years it gets you nowhere. You have now done the car and it is excellent, you have done her proud... and yourself.
Amazing job and story story Dave, you have to try and stay positive for your own mental health, im sure felicity is looking down and smiling at the wonderful job you did on the car
I am 100% sure, Felicity would have been over the moon with your work on her little Kia. Though, to answer your question, I love using Alien Magic Snow Foams, they're great fun to use and if the owner is watching some great theatrics for them to see.
Hi Dave ! What a heartbreaking story 😭! I am absolutely glad you were able to give your friend's car her past glory. I fully understand it must have been the toughest job to do but also a big relief to your own conscience. We all find ourselves excuses to postpone tasks here and there as you said. Too hot, too cold, too much raining,etc... Most important if I may say is that you appeased your conscience and feel now better to go forward. Of course you will get emotional since it is part of the grief process. Scars will need time to heal Great content as always Dave 😉 Best of luck ! Cheers mate Gregg
Brilliant job mate, and as said below, don't feel bad about not getting round to it before, for all we know she can still see it. Massive turnaround on the car. Coloured snow foams, not something I would use personally, but I won't slag off those who do use them either, if it's fun and if it works for them, who am I to argue 👍
Dave well done be proud of what you have done you know the lady will be more than proud of you so much so she will of watch your every move be proud and smile then say look at your car but best thing would to be keep it in her memory dave this was a special moment remember this is a very special car for a very special lady well done kk
Thanks Kenneth. I'm glad I got to sort out her old car for her a few years ago on the channel but would have loved to got this one sorted before she passed
That was a great video, really hit the feels. You did a outstanding job and I am sure felicity understood why it kept getting put back. She may not be able to see it but we can. It is a new car. Great transformation ❤
@@epicautomotivedetailing your welcome Dave. I’ve never really been into keeping my cars clean but after getting a new car in September I want to keep it looking its best for as long as I can. I think I’ve seen most of your videos now on car cleaning and follow what you do and so far I think I’m doing ok. Thanks for the videos and keep it up.
Thank you 🙏 it took a long time to get here I was mainly just a mobile detailer and maybe I just didn't believe in myself many years ago but so glad I got the unit
Hello Dave from Australia 🙃 Sorry to hear about your loss of a special person and a top job you did on her car mate. I lost my partner in the same month and year 31/03/24 now I can see 2 😇😇
Lovely to see a traditional full valet on the show Dave,it’s bloody hard graft man….but the transformation is a winner …. You should buy and sell old oxidise cars so you can teach the general public your skills… I should now as I’ve been in this business 37 years and luv to transform old wreckers into copious amounts of money = WINNER fantastic boom 🎉job SON ✌️
Thanks Jordan, do you know what you'll be surprised by just how much difference you can make on a car by just putting it away in a garage and cleaning it.
Awesome video Dave & quite an emotional one for you i guess!!😔 But what is happening with the car now if you don't mind me asking!!🤔 Great tribute to her & I'm sure she would have loved it & be overwhelmed by the job you have done!!👌🏻👍🏻🥹
Hi mate , great video , I seen help , I like to clean my car regularly but I’m still not 100 percent sure of the products to use , I’m not a massive detail fan spending hours on cleaning my car but I won’t it to look the very best I can get it , I use autoglym shampoo and then autoglym super resin polish which leaves the car looking great but I now I should be putting some more protection ontop but when I do it it takes that super resin polish shine off it ,, what’s the best thing to use mate ? Thanks
I have a big autoglym video coming next week. I have a ton of products and im carrying out a deep clean so that will be worth a watch. I think this industry can become a minefield with products so i will be featuring more bundles on here where enthusiasts can buy everything they need to clean a car in one massive bundle
if it was a regular client it would have easily been finished in a day and a half. It's a very good question because the car itself wasn't terribly dirty inside, it was also small and the paint was forgiving and i didnt ceramic coat it. ceramic coatings are the biggest upsell so if it was a paying customer i would factor in the cost of the unit, tools etc, my time and would have charged somewhere for something like this £500 - £600 (but thats based on everything i mentioned) Filthy cars or vehicles with bad paint the cost would go up.
Love the videos. Getting a business plan together to see if I can start doing this full time. My biggest question is about waste water. Ive been told by united utilities i need a licence which i understand but would this to dispose of the waste water myself or let it drain naturally? Keep up the great inspiring job you do
Thanks Ian, its a very sensitive subject. Some people councils say yes some say no. There was a law which was scrapped regarding waste water from cleaning cars a long time ago, but because the industry is currently unregulated, many just get on with it without going to a council. I've never come across anyone in the UK get fined for washing their cars but I imagine things could change over the next 5 years...
Watching your video now as for snow foam coloured I live it I am using a green one just now that smells of mint and chocolate guess company can't use that very famous confectionery that a lot of people eat after a certain time haha but I love it mind you can it only your skin and it's a nightmare frist time using it I ended up looking like the hulk
@@epicautomotivedetailing can I make a suggestion why not raffle the car off or auction it off and give the money so a charity that meant something to your friend like macmillan I just did a charity event for them last weekend
No it wasn't a flop, I couldn't manage the whole chemical side of things along with customer service and then juggle the channel and my businesses. It was having a negative effect on my channel. It killed off my chances of reviewing other brands and that wasn't what my audience came here for so I decided to make my life easier and get back to doing what I love 🙏

I was very emotional watching this... Great job indeed! ♥️
2:08 oh mate I think we all see and feel your pain, she would be so proud of you, I know it's hard but just try and focus on that
She was probably one of my biggest fans , she never missed a video. Just hope somewhere she's looking down at the results
A beautiful thing to do in memory of your friend. Considering it's almost 10 years old you've definitely added value to the wee car Dave.
Thank you, I totally didnt realise this car was 10 years old. Mad how fast time flies by

Thanks Paul, i'm pleased about how this one came out., just gutted at the same time

Yeah very true. The industry has in a quiet period right now so it would help drive business for some
Looks amazing.
Peace
Advice please just cleaned the car and notice there is a waster streak every time i use the wipers how do you cure this thanks.
I’m indifferent to coloured snow foams. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy one. But if it was given to me or bought for me, I’d use it.
are you doing the focus soon
yes 100% want to restore it but its going in for repair and an mot first which is on the to do list
what type of cleaner should be used to remove those black small tar dots from the paint ??
Hiya I mention that in the video
