Hope you enjoyed the video! Just a quick update to say that I’ll be taking a short break from RUclips/ Instagram etc. for a few weeks so my next video will be up on 24th April. In the meantime I have some content scheduled to go out on my second channel (www.youtube.com/@autocarehqextra) but I’ll be logging out of everything this Sunday so apologies if you leave a message/ comment and it takes a while for me to get back to you! P.S. All the products are linked in the description Thanks for watching!
Wow! Nice job and i always love the editing on the videos. Just Easy transistions and the calm instructions on what you are doing. Shocked on the thickness of the paint!
The Mazda 2 has come a long way in its production, qualty looks excellent now. You always make a great job, whatever make of car you're detailing Heather.
I’m sure the owners of this were blown away by how their new car now looks as Heather you have done a fantastic job, well done. Enjoy your break from social media, take care.
Great video. 55-62 microns!!! On new car!! That's terrible! Oh my. When will we be able to see your new garage? I'm dying to see it. I bet you are very happy. Congratulations on that. You've earned it. See you here on the channel in a couple of weeks. Thank you.
Cheers Kim! Completely agree, very disappointing for a new car! Thanks so much, I appreciate it 😊 It’s only a little garage so I won’t be able to get cars in it but I’m excited to kit it out!
The Mazda looks amazing! A shame to see just how little paint is being used when it is the most expensive to fix. I enjoyed your process, and I can listen to you talk all day. Until the next one!
Have a well deserved break Heather. This was a really satisfying video to watch. Just on the coating, apart from careful washing, what would be the maintenance of it going forward?
I'm definitely going to be watching for the updates on the ceramic coating, especially as you applied it outdoors in good conditions. Looks like another great product for mitsi for sure considering I don't have anywhere except outside to apply a coating. 👍🏼
Another excellent video! Do you have an updated recommended product list for people starting out looking to build a maintenance cleaning kit? There is so much choice out there I can’t keep up!!
That colour on a Mazda always comes up a treat in your hands but I guess you get to know Mazda paint owning one yourself. I look forward to your review of that DA Polisher in case I do decide to try again with polishing I guess I could try out on my sons 10 year old Fiesta. I hope you are taking a good long holiday somewhere hot for your break.
@@AutoCareHQ DO you have to polish before ceramic coating. I think Im going to ceramic coat myself. My plan when I get the new car is what you have done in this video.
Wow😮 Heather, it looks like new. Oh wait, it is 😂😂😂 Seriously Heather another fantastic video and the car looks terrific. Enjoy your break. Hopefully it's somewhere warm and far away from car detailing.☀️🌞😎👙
Thanks Simon! I’ve been using the carbon collective ones recently and they’re really good. If you’re looking for the ultra soft style though you can’t go wrong with the Detail Factory brushes
Hello Caretakeres. Considering that a sheet of writing paper has about 100µm, a coating thickness of less than 60µm is simply not very thick. This is in line with information from a car painting YT channel that I often consume. A little too much saving for my taste. Nevertheless, great work, as always!
We have standard clay blocks, clay mitts, clay towels….now clay pads…phew😳 Will have to investigate those! Many detailers refer to clay-related marring, but no-one ever shows it. Can you describe what it looks like?
Yes mazdas are not very good with paint. I have customer within 3 years of owning the car with garage kept the roof paint already faded. In the UK you get some great variety of soaps with high alkaline power.
Wow what a shift that is you've done there 👌 my car is in bad need of a polish it has scratches and swirls all over it, it is 10 years old though and I dont have the time to even think about that, would a wax applied by hand help this in any way at all ?
Thank you! A wax will fill in some of the light swirls but if you're looking for a slight step up then you could try something like Stjarnagloss Skara (all-in-one polish) or Stjarnagloss Glasyr (a glaze and sealant)
Because you such a great job, as im into detailing my self, id love it if you could come & give my car a good clean over, as i dont have all cleaning equipment. 😊❤ Ill wait for your reply, thank you.
got a new ford about a year ago and the paints crap too new cars only get a small lick of paint a big con with a new car , you would think there going out of there way to have cars returned for paint warranty
It's crazy how they can paint such a nice multi layer color so thing. Pretty bad for the customer unfortunately. One stone chip will go to bare metal and rust.
Appreciate she is taking time to show her work and don’t hate on people’s life this is not to say to anyone who are trying to to make it in life she is doing what she is doing and is impressive you should appreciate her taking time to show what she is doing and the information she gives and if you don’t like don’t be rude and run the good criticism and not the negativity my fellow human
Ain’t a matter of cleaning with new cars more one of adding protection above that which manufactures do. Nobody wants to be buying dealership paint guards.

Everyone Is Allowed A Break Heather!! Xx
Have a great break 😊
Have a blast! Looking forward to your return!
Enjoy your Break!❤
Enjoy your break, young lady
Good for the owner to have brought this new one to you. Great results as always and love your work!
Thank you for watching!
Wow! Nice job and i always love the editing on the videos. Just Easy transistions and the calm instructions on what you are doing.
Shocked on the thickness of the paint!
Stunning! Better than when it left the factory 🙌
Thank you!
It appears very sensible and good practice to take paint thickness reading prior to any form of machine paint correction. Top job👏
Nothing beats a gleaming Soul Red! Nice work
Thanks! Haha completely agree with that!
Some say it is the only proper colour for Mazdas cars😉beautifully done as always👍
Great job! If only ALL new cars were presented like this...
Love that Mazda red! Love it even more now that you've given it some love. ❤️ 🙌🏼
It's a lovely colour! Thanks for watching :)
Hello Heather, amazing results on this Mazda 2,such a nice colour,the paintwork looks so clean and clear.
Cheers Steven!
Hats off to you Heather, I’ve been watching your videos and becoming addicted. You are great!!
Wow the paint thickness is scary bad! Informative watch as always. Have a good break.
Outstanding Heather!!! The car looks a million dollars!! Well done you ❤
Thanks Simon!
The Mazda 2 has come a long way in its production, qualty looks excellent now. You always make a great job, whatever make of car you're detailing Heather.
Thanks very much Paul 😊
Mazda red is so beautiful 😍
I’m sure the owners of this were blown away by how their new car now looks as Heather you have done a fantastic job, well done. Enjoy your break from social media, take care.

What a fantastic job as always Heather car looks amazing beautiful shine to it well done
Thanks Dave!
Another good video...bet the owner was very much pleased with the end result!!
Thanks James!
Great job Heather, the Mazda 2 is a great little reliable car.....
Thank you!
Another superb job Heather. . Lovely car and colour. Still can't believe how shockingly thin the clear coat is though ! 😯
Cheers Steve! I completely agree, not good at all. I was thinking about getting the new MX-5 when it comes out but tbh this has put me off!
Hi Heather, that was a fantastic job on the Mazda, the paint looks amazing
Thanks Eamon!
Looks great
Thank you for the video
Great job Heather. Looks wonderful.
Thanks Brent!
Top job Heather👍⭐ bet the new owner is over the moon with the results.
Thanks Mark!
Stunning Job Heather, 🙌
The car turned out amazing Heather 👍😁
Thanks Dave!
Great video! Looking forward to the updates of how this ceramic performs. Enjoy your well deserved break heather 😁

Great job Heather!!
Cheers Fin!
Once again another fantastic and informative video Heather
The car looks fantastic.
Thanks Mark 😊
Autocare HQ does it again. Superb detailing results ! 👏 Have a great weekend!
Cheers! You too!
@@AutoCareHQ Enjoy your time away from your channel Heather its well deserved I'm sure 👍
What a brilliant job ... your narration and editing are superb also ... love your channel 😊
Thanks very much!
Nice job as always Heather 👌
Cheers Brian!
Nicely put together mate.
Enjoy the break!
Joe
Cheers Joe!
Awesome video Heather. Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you! 😁
Those birds make an amazing soundtrack.
Great job. Keep doing what you're doing 🎉
Thanks for watching!
Lovely job, can't beat Soul Red!
Thank you! I do love a good Soul Red car haha
The Mazda looks amazing!
A shame to see just how little paint is being used when it is the most expensive to fix.
I enjoyed your process, and I can listen to you talk all day.
Until the next one!
Thank you! Yeah it’s disappointing, really puts me off getting another MX-5 in the future
Well done heather on another great wash your the best
Haha cheers Johnathon!
Awesome work on this!
Have a well deserved break Heather. This was a really satisfying video to watch. Just on the coating, apart from careful washing, what would be the maintenance of it going forward?
Cheers Peter. I’m just gonna be using a regular pre-wash and wax-free shampoo for now and then see about top ups as and when I think
I'm definitely going to be watching for the updates on the ceramic coating, especially as you applied it outdoors in good conditions. Looks like another great product for mitsi for sure considering I don't have anywhere except outside to apply a coating. 👍🏼
Yep it's definitely a good option for outdoors!
@@AutoCareHQ would you recommend the king size for a saloon or would the normal size do it you reckon?
Nah the normal size will be absolutely fine for that. Think I only used about 10ml on the paintwork of this
@@AutoCareHQ Ahhh that's mega 👌🏻💥 cheers for that info. 😉🤜🏽🤛🏽
Effort = excellent end finish. I'm sure I heard someone say 'looking good' they were correct.
Thanks for watching!
So gooooood! I watched your first video. I hope your chanel win!!
Thanks for watching!
But you gave it your best Heather, so all good??
👍👍👍
Heather really nice detail, i would of loved to see the beading / sheeting from the coating, but know it needs to cure. Thanks again
Thanks for watching 😊 do you have Instagram? I’m posting some more about this coating’s performance on there if you’d like to stay up to date
@@AutoCareHQ Hi Heather thanks I’ll check that out 👍
Cool video Heather,
Your review of your polisher should be interesting,I’m thinking about maybe getting the 8 or 12,not sure yet.
Cheers Richard, I’m planning to get that review up in early May 😊
Ooo I love your polisher
Another excellent video! Do you have an updated recommended product list for people starting out looking to build a maintenance cleaning kit? There is so much choice out there I can’t keep up!!
Thank you!
I’m planning to make a video this summer actually on that topic, sorry it’s a little while off though!
Keep up the good work heather 👏😊
Thank you!

I look forward to your review of that DA Polisher in case I do decide to try again with polishing I guess I could try out on my sons 10 year old Fiesta. I hope you are taking a good long holiday somewhere hot for your break.
Cheers John! It’s a pain to look after the paint with it being so soft but it’s a rewarding colour with a bit of TLC 😊
Im about to buy a new car and this was the video Ive been looking for. Great job!!
Congrats on the new car!
@@AutoCareHQ DO you have to polish before ceramic coating. I think Im going to ceramic coat myself. My plan when I get the new car is what you have done in this video.
@@DuesGibGolfandLife yeah I would personally. Otherwise you risk locking in some defects or having issues with the coating bonding properly
@@AutoCareHQ copy. thankyou for your reply.
Finally it’s here , that 10h hardness is appealing to my pearl black paint for its anti swirl resistance 😂😂😂
Thanks for this upload 🎉
Haha that's a good shout!
Hi Heather amazing results can I ask what kind of timescale do you assign for this type of job? Thank you keep up the amazing work
Thank you! If I wasn’t filming it it would be a full day on this size vehicle so roughly about 10 hours
Looks like it has just come out the showroom,i could clean mine for a week and it would not look like that. Beautiful job, hats off to you.🫡
Thank you! Fortunately it was in great condition when it was collected so it was nice and easy for me haha
Wow😮 Heather, it looks like new. Oh wait, it is 😂😂😂 Seriously Heather another fantastic video and the car looks terrific. Enjoy your break. Hopefully it's somewhere warm and far away from car detailing.☀️🌞😎👙
Haha cheers Stephen!
Excellent Work.
Thank you!
Great job well done!! Could you recommend a exterior detail brush for a weekend warrior please? Thanks 👍
Thanks Simon! I’ve been using the carbon collective ones recently and they’re really good. If you’re looking for the ultra soft style though you can’t go wrong with the Detail Factory brushes
Thanks very much for your help 👍
Nice job 👌
Thanks!

Госпожа Вы творите чудеса женской рукой!! Машина просто горит блеском чистотой новее новой! Но помните важное правило: Лучшее враг хорошего.
You could eat your dinner off that car it’s that clean! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Cheers Paul!
Yes mazdas are not very good with paint. I have customer within 3 years of owning the car with garage kept the roof paint already faded. In the UK you get some great variety of soaps with high alkaline power.
Yeah it’s a shame the paint isn’t great as otherwise I really like Mazda’s cars!
fantastic as always girl
OK, mate, calm down!!!!
Amazing stuff as always! Enjoy your time off from RUclips, think I'm doing the same for the next few weeks. Great video 💪💪
Thank you! Cheers I appreciate it, hope you have a good break as well 😊

@AutoCareHQ ok thanks Heather, I like the look of Skara so will give that a try when this weather decides to get better. Enjoy your time off!
Is this your new motor Heather??
Or a friend’s??
Ur a very good detailer xx
We know ur a Mazda girl??
😉😉😉
If I Had A Brand New Motor Heather, I Would Gladly Let You Valet It Pre Delivery…
😘😘
It’s not mine unfortunately!
I've just bought a 2012 mazda 2 in blue, any ideas if the paint is as thin on older models?
Exelentes videos y gracias por los consejos saludos desde mexico
Thanks for watching!
👍🏻🚘
how do you clean pad and also how often
Every Mazda I’ve seen since this video dropped has been this colour. Don’t they do any others?
Looking red hot!
Haha cheers for watching!
Buen trabajo!
Thank you!
What should a good clear coat reading be?
About 120-150 microns is about right for a new car
Nice.
But ur a good girl for giving that brand new motor a chance jn life!!!
😉😉😉
Because you such a great job, as im into detailing my self, id love it if you could come & give my car a good clean over, as i dont have all cleaning equipment. 😊❤
Ill wait for your reply, thank you.
👌
❤
Where did you get your paint depth gauge from heather
I just got this from eBay second hand but in2detailing stock it if you want a new one
@AutoCareHQ many thanks I'll take a look
New daily driver? Enjoy the time off.🇦🇺
Haha unfortunately it's not mine
Hello 🌹❤️ Super Video 👍
Thank you very much!
👍🏽
got a new ford about a year ago and the paints crap too new cars only get a small lick of paint a big con with a new car , you would think there going out of there way to have cars returned for paint warranty
Always take time out and away from RUclips.......its important. Enjoy your break Heather.
Thanks Graham!
Wow, just 60 micron for a factory paint? one time heavy correction and you are probably done for the life of the car.
That paint depth is ridiculous. It must only have one coat of clear over it.
It's crazy how they can paint such a nice multi layer color so thing. Pretty bad for the customer unfortunately. One stone chip will go to bare metal and rust.
Its one of the nicest metallic reds out there is this Mazda red.. really pops out at you in the sunlight
It's quite dirty for only 47 miles..😯
Why Not Girl??
1) U like Mazdas (Nowt Wrong There..)
2) U Flippin Work Hard Enough!!!
😘😘😘😉😉😉
Even I could clean that, show your skills and what u can do on an older car
There’s plenty of vids of older cars on the channel already
Not really you just stick to new cars what’s the point
