Any new drivers looking to not have a health condition due to their car interior, this man does know what he is talking about. My rule 1 when getting a new car, never let the interior get into this state. 20 mins hoovering a week, and 10 mins dusting, one a month dress it if it look s a bit dull. i normally deep clean a car like this one a year to get rid of the winter. Supervised Matt, and he really needs it ;) lol
Just did a friends car as a treat. He had been away for several months (Forces, not prison) so did it as a welcome home present. He’d let it get into such a bad state before he left, then it grew mould over winter. Took me a full day on the interior, starting at 9 and finishing when it went dark. The worst of it is that his wife has severe allergies, including dust, and always wondered why she felt crap after long journeys. The car was disgusting. 🤮 Two goes with the carpet cleaner and the seats look almost new again. It was possibly the worst car I’ve ever seen. I don’t see the point of paying £40k for a car and treating it like crap.
Dave them pieces of shrapnel that you’re dealing with is where the monies at…. done it for 36 years I’m a detailer and buy it all my clients cars off them as I know they’ve been well looked after by myself equals winner 😉….. easy money,any you cannot affordto buy I’ll chop the pot with you 👊
What a great video, thanks. I am not a professional so to see the process of totally cleaning a car and what products you used is brilliant for me. Still nervous about the snow-foam and rinse of the engine bay so I might not do that bit. But thank you for sharing this video as I am sure there will be lots of non-professionals who just want to know how to clean their car, so please more beginners video or to add some basic info to your pro videos. Well done.
I like that some of the tools you use are not expensive. By chance I have just bought the same make DA polisher you used in this video. £75 compared to hundreds for pro machines. Then there’s the power drill. I had the same one for years and only bought it because it was cheap. No need to buy all the expensive toys. My drying towels are inexpensive ones from Amazon and they are amazing. I save my hard earned cash for good waxes, shampoos and polishes. I just wish I had the cash for a AVA power washer. 😂
Thank you yeah I've always tried to be set within a lower budget but thankfully as the channel grew it opened a few doors to get my hands on some decent tools like the air compressor and pressure washers
No it’s certainly not safe and no matter what I wouldn’t risk just to make my engine bay look good. I prefer to have a working car than my engine bay clean. Just wash it carefully with some water and cloths not pressure washer!
This is great. It would be great to see a video of a really good, value for money set up. E.g. pressure washer, and all the necessary cleaning stuff needed e.g. wheels and tires, engine bay, snow foam, shampoo, and other accessories e.g. brushes and towels
This video just goes to show. With a little bit of Patients and dedication and trust worthy ( Epic ) RUclips sight. You can achieve that showroom finish with any car no matter what the condition. Dad👍🍺
😂you guys are funny team. Try some magic erasers, just be watchful or it can remove paint. Put your mats on a table. Save your knees 😁 I'm re inspired thanks to you guys!! It's freezing here already I need to go detail 😁👍since you guys are..motivated now after this video!!!!!!
I’m a new car cleaner have lots of products I know what I do I normally do a full interior detail and then a pre wash,wash/snow foam and cealent any tips?(also good job car looks great)
Seen you using the ava washer but what would you recommend for a beginner that can't afford the massive price tag for an ava? Using a Nikfisk just now but will need to get something else shortly and not looking to spend a massive amount
Hey Epic, I’ve seen your videos on all pressure washer reviews, I’m leaning towards an AVA, but I’m guessing your reviews are more for mobile? What would you say would be the best pressure washer being stationary? Love your videos your a great help 👍
I keep a clean car. But looking for tips I didn't know. One thing I've never done is put the jet wash or hose in the engine. I just spray and clean. I've watched videos where it's done but still scares me a bit.
Dave, why are you not fixing interior as the first thing? Getting in and out of the car during a cleanup, will result in dirt on the cars body ... I mean, it's not named "detailing" for nothing, right? 😉 And btw: Have you tried out a plantbased and biodegradable solution with a dutch company called Airolube? More environmental friendly which is kinda needed in the car care industry. Thanks for another great transformation!
Hi Dave, when I’m machine polishing, I seem to get bits of the pad fling off and leave little specked of it on my car it’s easily removed but it’s a bit of a pain, do you have any tips to prevent this from happening thanks!
You could be overworking the pad. You also need to clean your pad out quite regularly whilst using. Don’t let the compound completely dry out before wiping off the panel either.
I’d like to know this too - Mine always seems to be a little bit on the runny side, even when filling the bottle with roughly 1:2 touchless. I use an AVA P55 with the AVA brass foam cannon
Bilt Hamber is all about PIR not dilution ratios, and it also depends if you have the new updated formula or not, the old one is 4% PIR and the new one is 2% if I remember correctly, I'd say around 300ml (old Touchless) & 100-150ml for the new updated formula
Super resin polish has abrasives and fillers. This is basically just fillers with added protection so not long term but good enough to see the car through for a few months.
I always thought that it wasn't a good idea to spray your electronics underneath the hood. Can't you just wipe everything visual and be happy instead of speeding up the oxidation of all your wiring and connectors and cables.
@@epicautomotivedetailing soz not what I meant, would never put a pressure washer near a soft top, someone copying you might not be so careful and you can never shift the fabric burn once in. For a cheap way then Milton fluid(diluted to instructions) with a soft shoe brush. Will shift green mould easily as well as any normal dirt. If it is an old roof and its got orange/red stains then its only the dye that's ever worked for me
Hi .use a chemical sprayer from Lowe's way easier then multiple sprays and the length of the nozzle helps you not get your breathing right in to the chemical 👍.... But I'm just a girl detailer what would I know 😁😂🌹🪽

@epicautomotivedetailing hehehe, yeah it was at the 'should we burn it' stage. I ment to ask how was the tw inside job to work with?

I’d personally cover the battery, intake, ignition coils, alternator, any belts etc. You don’t want water getting anywhere near those.
Incredible job in just 18 minutes
Wish it did take 18 mins lol
@@epicautomotivedetailing IKR. How long did it take you both?
Dave is a great teacher, love this 🙌👍
Thank you very much
Great job on that mini Dave and Matt. Looks fantastic! 👍🏻
Thanks Simon 🙏
Thank you for the video Dave. Complete transformation you and Matt achieved there - top job 👍💪👌.
Thanks Karl we have saved so much footage for Epic Car Show channel as the whole series on how we got the car is on there
Brilliant content for starters Dave 🎉
Always knew that was going to look amazing - good work guys 👍🏻
Thanks Kevin we can now drive it and actually start using it in some videos now
Once again another fantastic and informative video and job Dave.
Cheers Mark Appreciate the comments

Yeah it's a good network we have so soon as a car is available we normally get first refusal on them

Thanks
Has this chap been on the show before? He’s entertaining.
He's on my other channel (epic car show)
Hi dave, do you think you could do a full car clean only using infinity wax products? I'd love a video like that! Keep up the great work
Yes of course. I like to mix things up a bit now and then. They have some great products coming soon
Would it be safe to wash the engine bay like that? Especially for the electrical stuff?
No it’s certainly not safe and no matter what I wouldn’t risk just to make my engine bay look good. I prefer to have a working car than my engine bay clean. Just wash it carefully with some water and cloths not pressure washer!
Got me discounted plastic dressing 👌🏻 cheers Dave 👍🏻
GREAT VIDEO LADS , TOP JOB !! RESULT WAS AMAZING LOVE THIS TYPE OF CONTENT.. 👊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

hiya thank you yes i already have an older video within the archive of the business playlist but a new updated video is coming very soon
Brilliant vid! Dave I have old polish on my wife’s plastic trim on her mini countryman, any tips on cleaning it off? Thanks
also what priduct do you recommend for deep cleaning seats example using the drill brush thanks
This video just goes to show. With a little bit of Patients and dedication and trust worthy ( Epic ) RUclips sight. You can achieve that showroom finish with any car no matter what the condition. Dad👍🍺
Cheers Dad we were running out of time towards end of the day so had to cut so much out as we have more for the epic car show channel
😂you guys are funny team. Try some magic erasers, just be watchful or it can remove paint. Put your mats on a table. Save your knees 😁 I'm re inspired thanks to you guys!! It's freezing here already I need to go detail 😁👍since you guys are..motivated now after this video!!!!!!
Great video, fellas.
Thanks Kerry
Brilliant video m8
Thank you
What vacuum do you use / recommend?
Charles is the best all-round
I’m a new car cleaner have lots of products I know what I do I normally do a full interior detail and then a pre wash,wash/snow foam and cealent any tips?(also good job car looks great)
What was he using as a pre wash at 4:27?
Do you disconnect the battery before cleaning the engine bay?
Nice mate , hmm that took some time I bet 😊
Thanks mate yeah it takes longer filming so this was done over 2 days as we had to film it for 2 channels
What would you charge for something like this then?
Seen you using the ava washer but what would you recommend for a beginner that can't afford the massive price tag for an ava? Using a Nikfisk just now but will need to get something else shortly and not looking to spend a massive amount
Water in the engine bay with electrical cables? Regardless - its come up really nicely!
its never ruined any vehicle in my career 😅
New used Yum cars product let alone see them being used.
Amy good?
Wouldn’t dare spray my engine bay like that 😂
I dare you
Hey Epic, I’ve seen your videos on all pressure washer reviews, I’m leaning towards an AVA, but I’m guessing your reviews are more for mobile? What would you say would be the best pressure washer being stationary? Love your videos your a great help 👍
hiya it makes no difference really apart from if its stationary you can get away with having something slightly bigger that doesnt need moving
I keep a clean car. But looking for tips I didn't know. One thing I've never done is put the jet wash or hose in the engine. I just spray and clean. I've watched videos where it's done but still scares me a bit.
what product was you using for the door shuts and petrol cap?
Any APC is fine.
where is the rear light or you have a replacement as it was missing when you washed the car
al being revealed on my other channel 😉

How do you clean the brushes after use?
Anti bacterial spray, warm water 👌
Are you using car shampoo with cold water? I also use hot water.
Depends on location but normally I make do with cold
@epicautomotivedetailing Thanks. I always thought that hot water was better for contact wash, but maybe that's an old wives tale.
what wet and dry vac do you use please?
Hyundai £65 I think it is now
Hi Dave, when I’m machine polishing, I seem to get bits of the pad fling off and leave little specked of it on my car it’s easily removed but it’s a bit of a pain, do you have any tips to prevent this from happening thanks!
You could be overworking the pad. You also need to clean your pad out quite regularly whilst using. Don’t let the compound completely dry out before wiping off the panel either.
Can you please let me know how much BH Touchless you add to 1 liter water to create the foam?
I’d like to know this too - Mine always seems to be a little bit on the runny side, even when filling the bottle with roughly 1:2 touchless. I use an AVA P55 with the AVA brass foam cannon

Don't forget to cover your alternator which you didn't mention.🤔
It's a broken £300 car who gives a stuff
@@epicautomotivedetailingXD
nice work guys. that glaze really did a superb job. Is it similar to and does it perform like Super Resin Polish?
Super resin polish has abrasives and fillers. This is basically just fillers with added protection so not long term but good enough to see the car through for a few months.
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks for the clarification
Looks like a brand new car.
Thank you

What about electrics in the engine, surly thats a problem
🤝
I got told u wasn't ment to jet wash a petrol engine but diesels are ok
That's a new roof needed. No need for any of that, just get the proper soft top cleaner in the 1st place
I can't win can I with the comments lol. If it's a newer cleaner roof I'd get dumb comments like (oh you should test this on an older roof) geez

just use superglue
First :)
And nothing intelligent 🧠 to say or add to the conversation !..Sad 😔 really.
Agree
Electrics don't matter i guess, you can not do that on petrol engines
I see this comment so many times. Until I see someone actually destroy an engine bay with actual proof I'll just carry on lol
