Happy New Year to you too. Interesting video, as always. Your van is a perfect example and the engine bay looks amazing, well done.
Thanks Gareth
Brilliant job Alex and yes, this year has gone very fast. `
Crazy fast mate
Awesome dude. I can see your love to the cars in all the details.
Thanks mate
Goid job that bud I an a AF fan I use 303 or rubber plus plastic.
Happy new year, nice work on the detailing👍
Happy new year mate
great work once again fella
Thanks Peter!
Awesome video man!!!
Thanks Mate!
Minis are cleaner than new! Immaculate.
Same problems with garage door, spinal conditions meant up and over door was difficult to open so got leccy remote roller door fitted.
Garage flooded water in under every downpour which never done before, company that supplied and fitted door said wasn't their responsibility!
Got a garage door rubber floor sealing strip with tube of fixing adhesive off eBay around £30, fitters doing our house windows fitted it for me and result! You'd really need two tubes of adhesive, they used their own at no charge.
One tiny trickle in middle, sorted myself with smear of left over adhesive.
I have had drainage put in now mate and its all fixed now finally
Looks really smart under that bonnet now, like the look of that rubber and plastic dressing. You can come and do mine now 😃👍.
Its great stuff mate
Van engine bay looks awesome. Really have to get stuck into the Travellers to get it looking it’s best for a photo shoot coming up as soon as lockdown permits.
Get some videos up too mate, i enjoy them
@@classicminidetails8887 will do sir 😉
engine bay looks mint bro!!!
Thanks mate!
van looks great, a credit to you,
Thanks Tony! Am hoping i can get the Cooper S engine bay as good
@@classicminidetails8887 I'am sure you will my friend
another great video
Thanks mate
@@classicminidetails8887 you are one of the people that made me decide to do something myself and i have got 67 subscriptions with in a month and a half.
Get your floor done with some nice smooth epoxy paint bud. Not quite as warm, but can't trap any damp. Easy to clean if you spill anything too!
I have had drainage fitted mate to stop the water ingres, its working a treat so far!
Job well done mate. Now put the bonnet down 👍🤣
I have 🤣 need to keep it looking like that!
Your engine bay and motor is immaculate. I was wondering how many coats of paint went on the engine block. It's so smooth and glossy. My garage door gets water weeping under the seal mainly when the wind blows rain against it. Hopefully your drain solves the problem.
Hi mate it had 2 coats! The garage drainage is in and working!!!
Alright fella,
I've just bought a '88 Mayfair 😁 for my son 😊 ( he's 14, a nice toy to work on together). It's not going to be a daily car.
Anyway, the previous owner had it in a garage for two years. It's not moved and the owner never put a cover over it (plonker). Consequently it has dust and grime all over the body work 😪.
Would you give me an idea of how I can wash it. I use Renault F1 waterless wash and wax on the family car (don't like using water), and comes up great.
Keep up the great work fella 👍.
Cheers
Alex, thanks for these videos! I’ve never cleaned my engine bay and I’m worried about the electronics. Can you tell us what needs to be covered. It doesn’t appear that you covered any wires.
Another great video. Looks simply brilliant now! Engine detailing is something I don't have the patience for but I'll try it one day. Yes its me again asking questions....but what suspension is the Cooper S on please? My Mini sits too high for my liking and I'm looking everywhere for ideas and advice......
Its on Hi lo suspension mate, i prefer that set up as you can put the car exactly at the height you want
@@classicminidetails8887 Thought so thanks. Any particular manufacturers? Or are they all pretty much the same? Hoping all I need is a set of hi-los and the rear camber adjustment parts.
I’ve always avoided putting the hose into the engine. I’d assume it would damage something. Anything I should be watching out for?
Apparently its beneficial to them to reduce crank case pressure mate
Wow super impressed. Now that’s clean. Didn’t think I would enjoy a detailing vid as it not for me but pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work.
Am not sure how this will go down mate, i thought well while I'm doing it i might as well
Looking great Alex detail is just amazing 👍
Thanks Tony
Looks great toony! Keep up the good work!
Stay safe,
William
Thanks mate
Hi mate. Great videos. Are you in a local club. Im only in stockport and part of north manchester classic mini club. Noticed on one of your vidoes you were drining through duki 👍
Yes was in Dukinfield mate
Another great video Alex looks stunning
Thanks Michael
Hi Alex. 14secs in l saw the tatty looking coil and coil strap and thought you' ll give that some attention . Oh no you're not ! That's the "S" ! Look Alex , you do it your way ! It's the results that speak! As for the door can't the fitter's just get a length and let it in ? So they make a 4 metre door with a 3.9 metre seal ......yeah right ! Surely they have a head office or you could call "Watchdog!" ( or tell them you will) what a bunch of * ankers ! Why don't you get a small hand pipe cutter for the hoses ?.... Just a thought ! That bay looks fantastic bud ! Take care and stay safe.
Dont worry that coil is on my list! I have to many job to do 🤣 if i start them all the car will be in bits
Hi, what steamer do you use? Good job 👌🏻👌🏻
Think it's a Karcher one mate
Top job, always worth doing properly 👏
Definitely mate!
Can you go over whether you had to cover any electrical components?? It doesn’t seem like you did and I’m nervous about getting water everywhere.
Happy New Year mate, that engine bay is detailed to death and looks awesome. They never got them looking like that when they were new 🤭
Yep they never came like this mate 🤣 i have months under that bonnet
Mate I'm struggling to find the words ,its brilliant well done .Ron.
Thanks Ron!
Omg it was disgusting before you cleaned it wow!!! Haha
Was actually dirty AF for me
Nice job mate, it does look amazing 👍 I hope Rhodri approves, I got a right roasting the other day for using my mop all wrong. I almost destroyed the car!
Cheers mate, need the cooper to look like this now
I couldn't hear what you called the products you used. Thanks for the video!
By auto finesse mate
