so i want to just mention and point out a few things ive noticed watching for some time now.... 1. you are great at what you detail in every video - no questions, 2. your asmr style of video are amazing - no chat, and also the once with a lil conversation 3. you are always personally looking great - attention to self care. the hair and pompadour (spot on) and your white shoes ( ALWAYS white!) how do you keep clean when you are detailing ? never see any back-splashing or dirt marks on your clothes and shoes.... so curious how you keeping them so white? lol Fantastic detailer by far! enjoy everyone video you post, typically the foam cannon parts are the best, and wheel cleaning
My Rupes 15MKII died last month, so i gave you a call and convinced me to buy the Liquid Elements T4000 V2. I can already say it's as good as the Rupes, a little bit more noisy but you told me that on the phone. Got some nice car scents to, thank you for that btw! :D Great costumer service and advice, great guy and great RUclips videos! Kind Regards, Tom. 🙏
Hi, I'm writing from Italy and I've been your follower for at least a year. Since I have been able to wash my car at home I have been following your steps and products and therefore your videos are a source of inspiration. If I didn't live so far away I would bring you my car to give it a full treatment. This comment is positive and I would just like to point out that for the quality of the work you do and the quantity of cars you treat you should publish at least two videos a week. Keep it up!
Great video on engine bay, I have washed mine once and I was nervous at first, I felt more confident as I knew what parts to avoid and how to safely approach the pre-wash especially with the pressure washer but I did avoid aiming at one part, I just kept a safe distance and kept on moving.
oh je me souviens d'elle il y a eu une vidéo sur elle l'année dernière, une magnifique BMW, encore un très beau travail VERMIJL CAR DETAIL , continuer !! 💯💯💪💪✌✌
I think it is better to remove the lower engine compartment cover, I always do that. :) Because it can soak all of the dirty water and in worst case it can break down from the weight.
How do you not have any accent? Born in U.S. And moved to Belgium? Great country btw....did some military rotations to Kokjicd?? Coastal town....wonderful people!!! Great vid!
Bonjour de France. J’ai un conseil économique en eau et temps. Pense à toujours commencer par les parties hautes comme le capot puis descendre jusqu’au plus bas, la mousse et la saleté descendent, pareil pour le rinçage. Sinon continu comme ça j’adore tes vidéos.
What is the first GLACO product you used...and then rinsed off?! I have the 2nd product. I bought it after seeing you use it a few weeks ago. It's AMAZING.
Nice.....I need to do a similar clean on my wife's Volvo V60. I don't think the engine bay has been touched in it's 80k mile life.....and certainly not in the 2 years we've owned it!
Nice video! I learned again with your video😁. Just a quick question, do i need to remove the battery and cover the alternator even if it’s below the engine before doing an engine wash? Thanks!
in modern cars (anything built in the last 20 years) the engine bays are designed to get wet, the only thing you need to worry about is getting the alternator too wet, you can cover it with a plastic bag if you are worried but even if you dont just let it airdry for an hour or two is enough
Hi, I am struggling with my convertible roof. Mould spots have turned white . Cleaned it 8 times today. Marks won't go. Can anyone recommend what to use? Please
Cleaning your car's engine bay can help maintain its appearance and prevent issues caused by dirt and grime. Here are some tips for safely and effectively cleaning your car engine bay: ### **1. Preparation** - **Cool the Engine:** Ensure the engine is completely cool before cleaning to avoid burns and damage. - **Remove Loose Debris:** Use a brush or compressed air to remove leaves, twigs, and other debris. - **Cover Sensitive Components:** Use plastic bags to cover the alternator, battery terminals, exposed wiring, and air intake. ### **2. Cleaning Materials** - **Degreaser:** Choose a non-corrosive, automotive-safe degreaser. - **Brushes:** Use soft-bristle brushes for scrubbing. - **Microfiber Cloths:** Ideal for wiping down surfaces. - **Pressure Washer or Hose:** Use with caution to avoid damaging electrical components. ### **3. Cleaning Process** - **Apply Degreaser:** Spray the degreaser on the engine and let it sit for a few minutes to break down grease and grime. - **Scrub:** Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub away dirt, focusing on heavily soiled areas. - **Rinse:** Gently rinse the engine bay with a low-pressure stream of water. Avoid directing water at electrical components. - **Dry:** Use microfiber cloths to dry the engine bay thoroughly. Remove plastic covers and allow the engine to air dry if necessary. ### **4. Final Touches** - **Detailing Spray:** Apply an engine bay dressing to restore the shine and protect surfaces from future dirt buildup. - **Check for Leaks:** After cleaning, inspect the engine for any signs of leaks or damage. ### **5. Safety Tips** - **Avoid High Pressure:** High-pressure water can damage sensitive components and force water into places it shouldn't be. - **Be Cautious with Electrical Components:** Avoid soaking electrical parts and connectors to prevent short circuits. - **Regular Cleaning:** Clean the engine bay every few months to maintain cleanliness and prevent buildup. ### **Additional Tips** - **Test on a Small Area First:** If you're unsure about a cleaner's effect, test it on a small, inconspicuous area. - **Use a Leaf Blower:** A leaf blower can help dry the engine bay more thoroughly and quickly. - **Consult the Manual:** Check your vehicle's manual for any specific cleaning recommendations or warnings. Regular cleaning can help extend the life of your engine and keep it looking good. Always prioritize safety and care when working on your car.
So what to look out for, I have a brand new Hyundai i20, when I open the hood a lot of items are exposed, looks like it could not be hit by water, but is it safe?
I’m a rinseless gal. I cleaned my engine bay only once while freaking out in my head. Used only towels and brushes. Now that I have MP the results should only be better.
I appreciate your support, but unfortunately I can’t do that mate. If you’re worried about anything, just cover it up. If there is an exposed filter or air intake or anything else, just wrap it in plastic. You don’t need to worry about anything else
The engine bay is not seen often. However, a clean engine bay is always nice to see.
Especially when you work on your own car, makes things a lot easier to work with
@Danielxperez14 yup, the less grease, oil, and dust buildup, the better.
@@mydreaminorbit9297 exactly
www.youtube.com/@WDDetailing do it in every video
A lot of guys will get them for car shows
The engine bay says everything about the type of owner someone is, it’s not often seen and that’s exactly why that matters!! Great video as always

Another video coming handy as I need to detail my recently bought BMW E87's engine bay.
The BMW wash was excellent and with complete details, thank you🎉
Hey.... do you unplug the battery before cleaning the engine bay???
U don't need to do that. Just don't dry drown it. If u use common sense, u will be a okay ,I'm not trying to offend you, BTW.
Just put plastic bag especially the altenator and fuse box as well
Great little clean of that engine bay! And bonus exterior cleaning. Well done sir!
I use a similar process, works every time. Also, gotta love a green 3-Series wagon!

Your videos are always so satisfying yet informative too much...much love brother
I can definitely appreciate these breakdown videos and what you use for the washes you do! Thanks for this!
Awesome video
Garage looks tops, time for a tour.
what is the windshield thing that you put on ?

i was wondering the same thing, he doesn't sound european at all
I’m 100% Belgian, I’ve only been in the US once for like a 3 week vacation about 10 years ago 😃
Wow, impressive!
love to see how to detail engine bay

Have you did any waterproof work before engine bay cleanings? Old car like this bmw, some wires may broken or loss waterproof function.
Quality detail. 😎🔨🤘🏻 I appreciate the engine bay segment. 😎
Glaco is amazing ❤
Absolutely!
is it completely safe to do so? no electricals are gonna get ruined by the water?
I bet you sit down to pee
Great job Vermijl love motoplast and all Koch Chemie products 👍👍👍
Carpro darkside tyre brush looking pretty sweet 👌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
Once again, a quality video. Is there any danger in wetting an engine? I've always heard it's not recommended?
Naaaah, just flood it mate, just flood it with all your heart. Water can't hurt the engine. 😂
What is the first GLACO product you used...and then rinsed off?! I have the 2nd product. I bought it after seeing you use it a few weeks ago. It's AMAZING.
glaco glass compound
@@KarmanBassi-f7twhat’s the difference between the two?
En otros video que vi tu estabas lavando el motor con una máquina de vapor y ahora te veo lavándolo con foam y karcher, porque, cual es la diferencia?
Nice.....I need to do a similar clean on my wife's Volvo V60. I don't think the engine bay has been touched in it's 80k mile life.....and certainly not in the 2 years we've owned it!
Good job and good detail
Damn that shop looks good 🥵
Keep washing em bro, keep washing em.
Было бы хорошо, если бы ты делал надписи внизу продуктов, которые ты используешь. А так, как всегда, на высоте! 👍
Motorplas is awesome. So easy.
please make a video about how you shoot your detailing video
Do you tape any electrical things or wires? Since a lot of people tell you to tape or wrap it, so no water gets into it.
Are you using Koch-Chemie's recommended dilution for engine cleaning that's on the bottle?
Nice video! I learned again with your video😁. Just a quick question, do i need to remove the battery and cover the alternator even if it’s below the engine before doing an engine wash? Thanks!
amazing work as always, with a modern engine / car don’t cover up alternators or any parts before?
brilliant job
Hii Vermijl I want your suggestions on how to remove or clean a rat repellent spray coating from engine bay (dust got dried with the coat)
Nice work!!!!
Top work 🤙⭐️
Amazing 👏
In which order to clean first? Engine bay or wheels or the underbody? Tell us vermijl
Does washing the engine with soap and water not damage the engine and battery ?
TOW TRUCK DRIVER: That engine bay sure looks good!
Does that kill the electronics?
Of course not
What about all the small electrical cables and connectors? That’s the only thing holding me back. Corrosion + ripping them off
Is there anyway us Canadians can order from your web store?
Is it safe to use pressure water in every engine bay?
Does the battery need to be covered?
Почему не взяли Gold Star?
The question is how do I know which parts should avoid getting wet?
in modern cars (anything built in the last 20 years) the engine bays are designed to get wet, the only thing you need to worry about is getting the alternator too wet, you can cover it with a plastic bag if you are worried but even if you dont just let it airdry for an hour or two is enough
can i blow dry the engine bay and then spray or does it have to be wet for it to work properly

Hi, I am struggling with my convertible roof. Mould spots have turned white . Cleaned it 8 times today. Marks won't go. Can anyone recommend what to use? Please
Thank you for talking 🦾🦾🦾
Ah this guy.... 😍
Nice and Good 👍
I’d suggest to cover the alternator and take the battery out too
ありがとうございます😊
You did not remove the battery? Is it Okay to wash it without removing the battery?
The battery is inside the trunk space, not under the hood.
A link to your cabinet ?
Still a nice BMW
I would have air blow the engine for a faster and better drying just be on a safe side everything else is great

Nothing to worry about on modern cars! I’ve done this countless times and never had any issues
Spray everything??😱
Nice❤
forget about the engine bay, how do you keep those shoes clean?

yo !
Yo!
Why he didnt remove the engine bay cover and wash intake manifold etc?Ehhh in my opinion that was the only mistake in this detail
I did, I guess you missed it
@@VermijlCarDetail so i should delete my comment in this case :D I'am glad that i missed the moment :)

Hold on. Did you just call the hood a hood instead of a "bonnet"?
I called the hood a hood because I always call the hood a hood
My ex girlfriend could blow dry the engine. Blowing is the only thing she great at.
Pressure washing your bay isn’t the best idea good by electric parts
👌👌👌
👍
Can I receive a free kit of your detailing products??
What a question
@@wikhoogterp1234 you should see my inbox 😅
@@wikhoogterp1234 idk stupid question lol
@@VermijlCarDetail but if u're here i got a question, can i clean everything under the hood, even though there is an uncovered filter and battery?
I appreciate your support, but unfortunately I can’t do that mate. If you’re worried about anything, just cover it up. If there is an exposed filter or air intake or anything else, just wrap it in plastic. You don’t need to worry about anything else
Please try washing the motorbike hehe
