I’m now going to have to get one of these brushes to make stripes in my mats .
This is cool. 😊

[@benpatana7664]

Great technique! Some one needs to invent a spray that you can follow up with to "set" the stripes so they resist foot traffic!

[@autocarehqextra]

That would be very handy!

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Superb

[@russelljameson9118]

Heather. I used to be bad for ‘Blipping’ carpets, back in the day, many years ago??
Say no more…??
😉😉😉😝😝😝

[@eamonkelly2792]

Brilliant Heather, I recently bought a pet hair block for this very job and it works a treat

[@autocarehqextra]

Thanks for watching Eamon!

Hello Heather,it's very interesting to know how it was done.this pet hair block works very well to the brush.ideal video.

[@autocarehqextra]

Cheers Steven 😊

[@stephencook6188]

Brilliant Heather. My OCD will require that I used the pet brush and having got the stripes perfect nobody would be allowed to put their feet on them.😂😂😂

[@autocarehqextra]

Thanks! Haha that is the drawback 😂😂

[@kimnewling5728]

How much fun was that? Cool. Hows your work/storage/garage project coming along? Little improvements as time goes by is a lot of fun and satisfying. Fun video Heather

[@autocarehqextra]

Cheers Kim! It’s going well thanks, just adding some more wall mounted bits and then should be all done 😊

Every time I watch your content I pick up a tip. I also use that orange tool but have never thought of rolling it over to keep my lines perfect nor have I sprayed water onto the mat. I normally spray a little Angelwax carpet cleaner onto the mat to lift the fibers prior to putting the lines on but I will be trying your method next time.

Thanks for watching John 😊

[@DaveBaldwin-jj2kb]

That looks very neat and tidy can you do my lawn with it Heather lol😂

[@autocarehqextra]

Haha I’m not as good with that 😂😂

[@DarrenJMHughes]

I used to stripe my car mats but now I don’t…. Maybe I should see if my mats will stripe?

[@samme5513]

Cool 👍

[@brianpurcell9058]

Nice 👌👌👌👌👌

[@brianmcallister114]

A nice extra to car detailing but I would presume that the stripes only last, at least on the driver's side. until the car is first driven after the detailing. So maybe not worth the effort. Now, if you're talking about lawn stripes with a power mower, that's an entirely different question....

[@SimonCoates]

Do you have a matching striped lawn? 😋🍀

[@stephencook6188]

Now that's a thought 🤔 I have checkerboard lawns, I wonder how checkerboard mats would look?

[@autocarehqextra]

I do try with the lawn too 😂

[@clintonhewitt3454]

👍👍😊

[@tonydetailing08]

Hello Auto Care HQ. I have a new batch of polishing machines recently. Would you be interested in helping me test them?

[@autocarehqextra]

Thanks for the offer but unfortunately I don’t think I have enough time at the moment

[@tonydetailing08]

@@autocarehqextra Fine, I’ll wait for your message.

[@Rob.Coleman]

When I first watched someone do this many years ago I honestly thought it was the most ridiculous and pointless thing I'd ever seen. I've been doing it myself ever since...😁

[@richard73]

Lmao….always wondered how it’s done 👍👍

[@Secret_Sun33]

I like wasting my time and the customer's time drawing Dolphins and happy faces on the mats, i take the most time on the trunk mat.

Sorry Heather I have always been a big fan of your channel, but if you continue to ask people what they want, then your channel wiil go the same way as most who do this, down hill.
Get rid of your 2nd channel and concentrate on your main channel only

[@autocarehqextra]

Thanks for the feedback Nigel. The main reason for the second channel is to make a different type of content. Most people are subscribed to the main channel for vehicle transformations so when I try and do more niche content it doesn’t do as well. Having the separate channels means I can make the content I want but without harming the main channel. I’ve increased the frequency on the main channel from 2 videos per month to 3 videos so this isn’t affecting it
