There's nothing like being your own client and showing others that you keep your car as clean as theirs! An excellent job yet again Heather 👏🙂
Thanks very much Jamie!
Hi I was asked which detailing chanel I watch on RUclips I watch a lot of them but I must say you r the one I watch the most I love the way you describe everything u do and use and the results speak for they self thanks again keep it lk u do it brilliant keep up the good work from Richard in Cardiff
Cheers Richard I really appreciate that!
What an amazing job! 👍
Beautiful job and technique, many thanks !!!
Thanks very much!
Nice Mx -5. So relieve stress when watching it.
Fantastic job Heather as always what a turn around
Thanks Dave!
Great job Heather. Car looks great!
Thanks Brent!
You clearly are wealthy and have the time, space and money to do this properly. I am at the bottom of the pile, but I have picked up alot of great tips from your channel with great results. I have to wash my car on a double yellow lined main road with a hose connected under the kitchen sink through the kitchen window to my pressure washer. My neighbours think I am nuts, but the results are worth it, even though our 2 cars are 12+years old.
@Simon-fr4ts
Please explain to me. Time, Money, Space have to do with wanting a clean vehicle. I know for a fact that this lass works very hard to have what she has. I may not know her personally but I have friends that know her, I find this comment extremely rude an uncalled for. Not that you would care. You are just wrong in your assumption of a person that works very hard.
Thank you,
Sorry for having to put this up here like this but someone had to come forward.
Great video and lovely colour car. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent job well done 👍🏽
The 'Mazda Red' is such a good color...
Amazing job on your daily Heather
Thanks very much 😊
Another great video. Your car looks fantastic Heather!
Thanks Richard!
Once again another fantastic and informative video Heather and your car looking lovely
Thanks very much Mark!
I always look forward to your uploads.
Nicely done and LOVE THE WHEELS.
Beautiful car ❤
Thank you very much!
Another great video. That's a very nice car in a gorgeous colour!
Thanks Paul!
Good job.. Hard work... outstanding result.. happy detailing...
Thanks very much!
As usual, perfect video with explanations, dilutions, products used, all what we need to learn to do it by ourselves. Great job for a great car (the Mazda red color is awesome). Well done Heather.
Good night from France
Thank you very much!
Cracking job as always Heather . 👌 stripes are just showing off 😉
Haha cheers Brian!
MX-5 back to it's best Heather 👌
Cheers Kevin!
Profesional detailing ,good job 👏👏🥇
Thank you!
I've always loved your MX-5 Heather. Excellent color and overall just an amazing car. Terrific video as always!
Thanks very much Jim!
Great job on your car Heather, the MX5 looks amazing again
Thanks Eamon!
As ever superb work. A relaxing watch at the end of a hard day's graft. Love it.
Thank you! Got a few of your videos on my list to catch up on!
@@AutoCareHQ Amazing. I need to learn how to edit like you. Your video presentation is superb. Top work.
Great video again and some amazing products used. Glaco window cleaner is possibly my favourite. The hydrophobic behaviour of my windows post application is fantastic 😁
Great video as always
Thanks Steve 😊
Very nice vid ❤ thanks 🎉
another top video enjoy your work cant wait for more
Thank you!
I really likes Heathers videos. She has a somewhat gentle approach, and getting in all over. Hurra for taking care of the stearingwheel. I do it on my cars every one or two month. My Lexus is 11 years old, but after 15 minutes of work with leathercleaner and balm it looks almost new.
Love the velvet sidewalls of the Michelin’s! The tyre dressing brings this out fantastically.
Definitely! I'd be lying if I said that the look of the sidewall wasn't one of the main reasons I chose these tyres haha
Such a pity you dont come as far south as London! As I said in my email to you, suffering as I am from a broken leg, and with my car parked in a single garage even after six weeks its proving impossible even to manoeuvre myself into the drivers seat!
Still one of the best colours on the road. Especially when meticulously detailed like that! 😎
Brilliant video!
I do enjoy interior detailing videos, the majority are exterior, it's also good to see daily drivers getting a detail too.
Cheers Tony!
Congrats on moving to your new place hard work! Pays off!
I don’t own it unfortunately! Maybe one day 😂
@@AutoCareHQ The way prices are at the moment it's crazy just to rent a place.
When i win the lottery i will be buying a place (Lake District) it will set me back £6 million pound's
So that's nearly $10 million Aussie dollar. 😁
Excellent video ( again), I follow yourself and Ammo NYC as you both are engaging and have a great balance of technical detail and showing the process of a car wash without boring me to sleep.
Thanks so much! Im very honoured to be mentioned in same sentence as Ammo!
Another outstanding video. Top job !!
Thank you for sharing your work, it's not everyday we get to do our own vehicles. I think I did mine 3 moths or more ago, no time.
Looking forward to more of your work.
Stay safe.
Kevin
Thanks very much! I felt much better when I’d cleaned it 😂 Have a great week!
Another amazing video and detail!!! 😊
Thank you!
I always like to watch pro detailers wash their own cars :) Heather I enjoy your accent too, even if I sometimes need to focus on it a little bit (not a native English speaker)! Most of the products you use are unfamiliar to me (not so easy to get in Poland where I live) but the effects are amazing I must say.. And cheers for using ultra glaco and absolute, use them the same way, really good results! Good job, and a great car - this paint is not so easy to maintainbut yours looks stellar! Cheers
Outstanding ! Simple .
Thank you!
Nice to actually have time for your own car hey! Great video as always Heather 🙌
Thanks Jason! Haha it was bothering me seeing the mud up the sides 😂
@@AutoCareHQ 😂
loved watching heather your car looks so clean now , ive been cleaning my cars today i might buy a new ik sprayer
Thanks for watching!
Hi Heather, I hope you are well, always excellent explanation an immaculate car Wow! I have seen bad weather in Uk, same here Eastern Canada, so, my Engine Bay is cleaned thank your Advice, Best from 🇨🇦🙏.
,
Thanks very much Jorge, hope you're well too!
Sweet ride!
Thanks!
Ah, this causes me to miss my red soft-top MX-5 from several years ago! I really like your after-market wheels!
Thank you!
Hello Heather, brilliant exterior and interior clean on your car,with it raining all the time lol you cant do much,the MX-5 looks awesome.
Thanks Steven :) Yeah unfortunately it doesn't stay looking clean for very long!
This makes me want to detail my truck here soon 🥲 It's so dirty after all the snow melted on the road
The depth of shine on your paintwork is astonishing. The colour reminds me of Maclaren’s lava red the had on the mp4/12c. Nice work Heather, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Rob! It took a lot of work to get it looking glossy, I got it pre-reg and the dealership had made an absolute mess of it
Really good content. Yum is a brand I've not tried but are definitely on the list, never seen any moans from anyone about their products. The car looks fantastic 👌. All the best. 👍
Thank you! Yeah Yum make some great products, only one I wasn't a fan of was their ceramic sealant but the rest of the range is really solid
Amazing job. I wish i lived closer from you to get all my cars professionally looked after.
Thank you very much!
Let me know when you can book my car in please
Are you able to drive this beautiful 2 seater in snowy roads? Stay safe and always your detailing is so impeccable. You keep showing Specky and Paul Dolden how to get it done👀👌
I don't really risk it to be honest! I work from home so I can avoid driving if it's pretty bad weather. Haha I'm a big fan of both their channels, been watching them since the start. I know they don't get as much time to put out content as often though but I like listening to the podcasts when I'm out cleaning my car!
That looked a lot of work but was super relaxing to watch 😊
Thank you!
That coating held up pretty well. I like Mazdas, they have really stepped up their quality. Good work as always.
Thanks! Yeah it’s looking good so far, I’ll probs do a chemical decon soon and then apply the top coat again
You and your compact red arrow are awesome! Never change! Maybe some vids on some "tough to clean" cases and particular aolutions for those scenarios. Cheers from Romania :)
Thanks very much for watching! I've got some pretty mucky cars coming up in the future :)
it's a great job again heather 😊
Thank you! 😊
Another great video! I appreciate your intelligent and thoughout process, to wit in a previous video you sprayed down the dusty surface the vehicle was on to limit upkick on the surface.
Thanks for watching 😊
@@AutoCareHQmy pleasure😊
That was such a satisfying video to watch - the fact that there was a month of dirt on it made it even more satisfying. I know you are not selling but what a great used car buy your car would be!
Cheers Peter! Haha hopefully the next owner will look after it
I guess it must be hard to make videos with similar content interesting however you seem to make it look easy. Most detailing channels get a bit boring but your are always engaging. Carry on the good work and thank you again for the interesting content. 👍👍😉
Thank you! To be honest it is a worry that my videos could get a bit same-y so I try and switch up the types of cars and products as much as I can
Nice work! 🔨😎🤘🏻 Came out very well. Must of been a relief to be able to clean your own vehicle for once.
Thanks! I felt a lot better when it was clean again haha
Very nice great job with it
Thank you!
Well done Heather.I think all of our vehicles are really dirty it has been so very wet everywhere.It comes up really nice I am a big Red car fan.
Thanks Stephen :) Yeah it's tough to keep it clean at the moment!
Great work!
Thanks!
Nice job Heather! I was able to hand wash my vehicle for the first time in 2 months, feels so much better. Your landscaping also looks quite tidy considering it's winter.
Thanks very much! It's really hard to find decent weather to do it at this time of year!
Best ladi ❤❤❤❤
I used GT Decon on my car over the weekend and it certainly reinvigorated the ceramic coating back to the gloss and beading which is always a bonus and I aim to use Carpro descale just to get rid of any remaining road salt.
Great shout, both those products are really good for ceramic coating deep cleans
Hi Heather 👋. A superb result on your own car paintwork & interior, given this rainy, dull weather were experiencing here in the UK. That red metallic now looks ace again ! 👏
Thank you! Yeah it's rare to get a day without rain or frost atm!
@AutoCareHQ unless we wash our cars daily ! Possible? ( nah!!). Have a good week ahead Heather !
Cheers you too! @@grahambell9831
Brilliant work at this time of year, looks great. What do you think about work/wash gloves for the cold weather?
Thanks! I use these ones: avenue85.co.uk/products/dexshell-thermfit-neo-waterproof-touchscreen-gloves-black
Heather I’ve been using the garage therapy one shampoo 1/9 In the foamer with a rinse bucket after one of your videos and it’s much quicker then two bucket method 👍🏼
Yeah it’s a great method, extra safe on soft paint too
Nice 😎
got to get nicer days here my cars are being neglected
It’s tough at this time of year!
What brand is the soft blue detailing brush you use?
Hey nice work!
Thanks very much Joe!
Hey, what wheel rims are you using ? And where did you get them ? Thanks :)
Verry nice job ❤
Thank you!
That color 🤤
I hate the state of the roads this time of year, did a nice maintenance wash on mine on Sunday then on Monday morning it was raining 😫 I drove slowly to work 🤭
It’s annoying isn’t it 😂
Great taste in cars.
Haha cheers!
As a new subscriber, I'm liking the great attention to detail in the videos. Could you possibly list the products you used in this video please, as sometimes it's difficult to make it out. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, I always list all the products in the description with links
Excellent video! What is that orange brush you're using at 12:36 ?
Thank you! It's this one: www.infinitywax.com/products/pet-hair-remover-block
Loads of brands make them though :)
Another great watch using a good mixture of products and as usual a tip to take away if I ever get round to putting an order in for some Yum products but every time I look I seem to get carried away and end up getting nothing. I like the idea of darkening the plastic wheel arches with the Yum dress. I far prefer them to the carpeted arches all round the Jag for keeping clean. The colour of your Mazda really pops when you give it a good going over and can't believe you could leave it for a month without a clean. If that was me I would be going out in the rain just to get some of the dirt off. As usual I look forward to the next one and I guess you weren't watching or going to copy the latest tutorial from Yum cars about the curved design on his freshly cleaned car mats.
Thanks for watching John :) Yep I much prefer plastic wheel arches too, makes cleaning them a lot easier. I was honestly itching to clean it but thought I'd leave it for a video, I felt a lot better once it was clean again haha
I guess sometimes you need a donor car for content@@AutoCareHQ
What type of brush were you using at 12:37?
I always look forward to these videos Heather. The MX5 looks great after the wash! I have not cleaned mine for around 6 weeks now and it is dire. Hoping for some better weather to give it a thorough wash and clean in and out. Out of interest - how long roughly does it take you to do a clean like this one? Cheers G
Thank you for watching! It usually takes about 2-2.5 hours if I'm not filming :)
Nice👍. Cleaning wheels.... Painful. I find it the most exhausting part of washing! Nice watching other people though lol.
Thanks! Yeah these ones are a bit of a pain to clean tbf, I'm glad it's at the start of the process otherwise I reckon I'd have less patience for it haha
@autocarehq what would you recommend for treating the rubber seals around doors, trunks etc.?
Garage Therapy Tyre Serum is a great option
Nice job Heather. Finally cleaned my 535. Did a good job. Now it’s mucky again. Goes in for a service at Lloyds BMW Blackpool on Friday. Want to take it in spotless…
Thanks! Mine is the same unfortunately! It's always good to get looking fresh before a service, makes me think they'll be more careful when handling it but I have no idea if they actually are haha
Plus I don’t want them grinding road grit against my paint, hence clean it first.
Mechanic left oily handprints on my cream door trim last time…
🙄🙄🙄
Hate when they do that, mine got recalled and I put signs all over the car saying “do not wash”, they still managed to kick dirt all over the inside of the door though 🙄
I’m a detailer and I done a paint correction on my black focus st yesterday, I popped to the shop earlier and looks exactly like your one did at the start of the video! Don’t know why I bother detailing my own car🙄
Haha it's always the case!
Very nice
Thanks!
You mentioned it will need a decontamination soon. As its coated would you just do a fall out remover or would you clay mitt it aswell?
I personally just do a chemical decon using tar remover, fallout remover and an acidic shampoo to deal with mineral deposit build-up. I know the clay mitts are supposed to be safe on coated cars but I'd rather not risk it especially with the contamination build-up being so minimal and the chemicals do a good job
Hey everyone, I'm getting into detailing as a hobby. What pressure washer hose does everyone use for kink free? I have a standard karcher k4 and just purchase a foam lance and a short trigger gun from Heathers videos recommendations! nice work cant stop not watching
Thanks for watching!
I used this one for my old K4
www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/karcher-k-series-c-clip-to-c-clip-reinforced-heavy-duty-rubber-replacement-hose?variant=32368465313871&ghref=3377%3A53788
It will still twist a bit but won’t kink like the Karcher one
WOW Heather amazing results how do you find the Pyramid car care foam cannon ? .Im a weekend warrior and cannot warrant loads of products . Which is the best cost effective citrus pre wash ? and snow foam ? .My car is ceramic coated but want something good and quick to use in these winter days . Thanks
Thanks!
I really like the Hydro Cannon, I usually go for it most of the time.
My current favourite citrus prewashes are:
Squid Ink
ODK
Yum
My favourite snow foams are:
Garage Therapy
Squid Ink Alkafroth
Enjoyed that Heather, we swapped comments in a previous video of your MX5 and I mentioned my nervousness of machine polishing (still on the to do list). I have the 30th Anniversary Edition and it's not had a wash for a few months tho to be fair it's been sat on the drive for most of that due to caring commitments. I'm considering changing the Bridgestones over to Michelin's (the Bridgestones have plenty of life in them but they are original fit and getting old), can you confirm if they are Pilot Sport 5s? Thinking the combination of those tyres, lowering springs and the 'Flying Miata' alignment settings could be an interesting result. Right enough of that, I already spend to much on detailing products :)
Thanks very much for watching :) Yep these are Pilot Sport 5's. That sounds like a really good plan, love the 30th Anniversary version, very nice choice
Thank you Heather for your time do you think Koch Kemie green star is better than Bilt Hamber surfex HD ? .And do you think Garage Therapy one wheel shampoo is the best cost option for cleaning wheels and tyres ? Thanks again
Thanks for watching :) Honestly both are very similar in terms of cleaning power, Green Star is a bit more foamy but that's the only real difference I noticed. And yep if you keep on top of the cleaning then GT wheel shampoo is a cracking option
Thank you for replying have you tried Garage Therapy citrus yet ? . And Mile deep release pre wash ?. Do you think autobrite magifoam is a good snow foam for winter grime ?
Yep I've tried both those, really good products. And yep AB Magifoam is good stuff, not quite as strong as Squid Ink Alkafroth but still a good cleaner
Great videos Heather! And thank you - question what products are good for tar removal. Will Koch chemie green star remove? White BMW (bad choice of colour, beggars can’t be choosers in the 2nd hand market).
Thank you! I doubt KC Green star would shift it tbh but the Garage Therapy Tar Remover is my go-to option
@@AutoCareHQ thank you!! It’s splatted all up the sides and don’t want to scratch all the paintwork rubbing it 😬
Hi .
I’m a bit confused about not using citrus cleaner on plastics .
But what about when we pre wash ?
Bumpers grills mirrors ect . Thanks
Sorry i’m a little confused what you are referring to, would you be able to let me know the time stamp?
What wheel mats have you used to help you to clean and protect the tyres?
Here's the link www.rimmats.com/
i like your new foam cannon Heather, is it an upgrade from your MJCC?
I’ve had it for a while to honest! It’s the Pyramid Car Care one, I use it on most washes now. It’s really good, the foam isn’t as concentrated as with the MJJC and I prefer the consistency. If you order it then make sure you use the code “ACHQ” which last time I checked was 20% off 😊
@@AutoCareHQ okay great, thanks Heather :) just one tip regarding foaming the car for the contact wash (i do the same for mine like you say the foam runs off too quick) so i just foam half the car, contact wash that half, then foam the other side and do that, seems to work better :)
Nice job as always, do you travel?
Thanks! I don’t at the moment but possibly in the future
nice car you have
Thanks!
Great watch. In the foam canon what gauge nozzle are you using? I have just gone to 1mm which causes the intermittent pressure build ups in the karcher. Will switch back to 1.2m but this produces a really wet snow foam that just slides off the car with little effect. Citrus 1:5 dilution is interesting as I’ve been using forest at 1:8 and no effect. The traffic film is untouched in the lower sections of the car. Like the traffic film is too dried. I’ve tried pre rinse wet application and dry application no noticeable change.
Thank you! I'm using the 1.25 mm orifice :)
Is that the Stjarnagloss pre-wash you mean?
@@AutoCareHQ thanks very helpful. Yes Stjarnagloss citrus pre-wash. Maybe the ceramic detailer causes the prewash to slide off? Bilt and Hamber pre-wash but same with others and tried different cannons. Thanks for getting back to me. Always learning, so a big Thankyou.
The Stjarnagloss one is best used either neat or 1:1 so it could be that the dilution you're using is a bit too weak for that particular pre-wash
Class
Hey Heather, the APC isn’t foaming like the wheel cleaner. Are you using two different Ik sprayers? If so, i’m just curious why you don’t want the APC to foam as well. Thanks! 👊🏽
Yep I use two different ones, one is an IK Foam and the other is an IK Multi. I just prefer the regular Multi sprayer for APC, citrus etc as it’s quicker to cover a large area evenly
@@AutoCareHQ i like that… that makes sense. Cool, thanks 👍🏽
