Some great products listed in this video, a lot of which I use myself and I am the very epitome of hobbyist, to coin a phrase: good from far, but far from good 😁. One thing I would add is that its hard to discuss detailing on a budget without mentioning the words 'Bilt' and 'Hamber'. They make some phenomenal products and the value for money is up there with the best. They're also (very) slowly making their way to the high street which can only be a good thing for the average consumer.
I really enjoyed your video, thanks Heather 😁👍
Today I said to my wife, that she has the largest collection of candles in private ownership. Her vengeance wasn't far away and she brought up my car care products 🙄
😂😂
I thought that I didn't need a car dryer since I have a powerful leaf blower that could certainly do the job. But after using my blower to dry the car after a first wash, I have to say that your criticism of this piece of equipment is spot-on. While using the leaf blower carried at arm's length at your side is not a problem, lifting it to shoulder height to dry the roof or the hood (Oops! I mean bonnet) is entirely another matter. Powerful leaf blowers are heavy and not meant to be held and manipulated at heights. The nozzle and hose of a dedicated car dryer are considerably lighter and more manageable and therefore much more suited to car detailing.
Hi Heather. How many washmits do you use for a medium sized car? Thank you in advance
If you go for a two bucket method, I’d say just two mitts would be fine. The pre-wash should be shifting pretty much everything so there shouldn’t really be need for extra mitts 😊
Really useful. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Heather, some nice tips for cleaning a car. I always learn something watching all detail videos. Thanks 🇨🇦👍👍
Thanks Eric! 😊
Fabulous informative video Heather with some great guidance tips for all ❤❤
Thanks Simon 😊
Heather what would be your go to pre wax cleanser ?. Looking to purchase one but unsure of which to go for. By the was brillant video. Keep up the awesome work 👍
Thank you! I have only ever tried R222 Pre-Wax cleanser but that is really good. It will leave some gloss enhancers behind but most waxes should play nicely with it
@@AutoCareHQ thank you heather. Looking forward to the next video 👍
Minor point but get a bucket with a ribbed bottom as smooth ones can be slippery to empty. It makes grip easier. I’d also recommend a car blower to dry those pesky areas - grills, around lights, door handles, inside petrol filler flap, insignia etc. particularly if you live in a hard water area where limescale water deposits can form. Great advice, Heather. You are a great ambassador for the car cleaning and detailing world.
Thanks very much David! Great recommendations too!
📢 I've just uploaded an update to this video with my new recommendations for a beginner car washing kit, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/7sj748OCnRs/v-deo.html
What is the tip you have on your stubby gun in your videos? Looks good. Thanks these are decent tips as over spending can easily be done.
Thanks for watching 😊 it’s one of these from Carscope carscope.co.uk/products/colour-coded-premium-40-25-spray-nozzle-assembly I usually just use the 25 degree one
Good morning, Heather 👋 Sound advice for a set up for someone just starting out. Quality products are shown here with fair prices 👌 👏
Cheers Graham!
@AutoCareHQ Thanks Heather, Garage still looking clean & tidy there 🙂
Thanks for sharing Heather! Some great products and tools listed, with great information on each 🙌
Thanks very much Jason! 😊
What would you use as a drying aid if anything ?
I usually go for P&S Dream Maker
@@AutoCareHQ thank you 😊
Shiny garage is saying citrus oil tfr ph is 11.5 in their website but you said 14 i dont understand it
非常好的影片 希望可以更多一點的介紹 謝謝
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Heather. One thing I once used as a substitute to tyre sponges while waiting for new ones to be delivered was an old shoe shine sponge. It was a type that folded into its own case to stop the shoe cleaning product from drying out. Handy if you don't have a lot of money to spend when starting out. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching Jamie and good tip!
Heather never mind telling us about your car shampoos, what hair shampoo do you use? it's looking very soft and shiny lol.
Haha just whatever is cheapest, I prefer to spend the extra on car shampoo 😂😂
Problem with grit guards is they are a certain size, and design to fit specific buckets. I need a bigger one.
Ive got a k2... It works to an extent but i could definitely find myself going for something closer to 2 gal a minute.
Just bought an IK sprayer - game changer! One thing I can’t do though is buy expensive buckets. Whilst I like yours and those bucket Dollie’s look sick, I’m just too tight to spend the dough. I use two old 15L fence paint tubs which work well although look terrible 😊
Totally get that, they’re not cheap buckets! I got them mainly for filming as they look pretty (as much as a bucket can) 😂😂
@@AutoCareHQ 🤣 - one more question, your opinion on the IK foamer. The sprayer is brilliant, never thought it would make such a difference so now, I'm back in "gadget mode" but wondering if I actually need one
Interesting you should mention it as I have a video planned on the second channel comparing the IK sprayers! I think the Multi is more useful, I tend to just use the Foam for applying wheel shampoos
@@AutoCareHQ Brill although also my apologies, I’d not realised you had a second channel - I’ll hop over and subscribe 👍
@@davej5917 thanks! It’s called Auto Care HQ Extra, I’ve linked it in my channel description 😊
Heather your contribution to the detailing industry makes all of us appreciate your methodical and rational approach to quality automotive detailing. So really thank you for your contributions 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Cheers David I appreciate that!
Great video, have you tried carpro Perl for dressing?
Thank you as always for your recommendations 👍
Thanks for watching David 😊
Informative vid ! Though you have some kind of white noise coming from your mic or maybe someone is just watering the garden ? 🤷🏻♂
Thanks! The sound quality is always a bit tougher to get right with the clip on mic, I did some editing to it afterwards but still getting used to it
Great essential starter kit!!! Great content!
Thank you!
Another great video, Heather. I have to tell you that no matter how many of your videos I see, I always seem to pick up new info and tips whether it be better utilization of the products (eg using Yum Citrus for a second time under a contact wash on the super dirty wheels (now why on Earth didn't I think of that?) or (and this I really appreciate because these chemicals are not cheap) practical dilution rations for the chemicals. It has been my pleasure to respond to questions concerning the appearance of my car by simply saying, "Google "Auto Care HQ"".
Thanks Brian! I’m so glad you find the info useful, and thank you for spreading the word too!
Fantastic overview ! Many thanks !
Cheers Mike!
👍👍👏😊
The Range have the same grit guards for around £4.
Hello, another great video. How have you connected the two buckets together, thanks
Thanks! It’s using this from Carbon collective www.carboncollective.com/bucket-handle-kit/ The bucket dollies are also needed which are sold separately www.carboncollective.com/heavy-duty-bucket-dolly/
@@AutoCareHQ thank you
Great vid, I use a combination of garage therapy and Bilt Hamber for external (plus citrus pre) with KC greenstar well diluted for an APC, internal it's Topstar, Garage therapy or 303 protectant. I like Gyeon QM snow foam espeically in winter, safe to use with wax, just dilute/use weaker strengths.
Thanks! They’re great products, only one I’ve not tried is Gyeon Foam, reckon it’s worth trying?
@@AutoCareHQ I tend to use it more in winter because it just pulls the dirt off and not so much in summer. If you see it in a sale absolutely :) It is quite thick however that might put some off and I personally think it's better used for winter washes when the roads are gritted and filthy. Summer it's citrus pre or KC GSF for me. Gyeon has some good products if a little bit pricy.. I've wanted to try the QM Interior detailer for ages but a while yet before I need to buy another interior product.
Awesome, thanks for the insight! The Gyeon interior detailer is really, been using it quite a bit on my car recently
Yet another great video Heather, so helpful and informative to those that are just starting out or making the change over to proper safe cleaning away from the old bucket and sponge with fairly liquid shampoo and dried off with a dodgy chamois leather...
Thanks very much for watching!
Your voice is very nice to lie to and your accent is very proper. I know the UK does things a little differently from the US mainly the snow foams. Myself, I’m a rinseless wash guy with the sponge. It just works for me. But a good pre spray is essential like you said. You need to emulsify the grime and safely rinse away. Otherwise you’re taking that dirt and driving it into your paint at 1000+ psi. The snow foams work well and you need that lubrication. I like your buckets, the brushes they look awesome! I personally work for DIY Detail so a little biased 😂. But you use excellent products, and once you protect your vehicle it becomes easier to clean. I can’t wait to see the interior video!
Thanks very much for watching! Yep definitely some different ways to do things, sounds like you’ve got a great system. I really need to try some DIY Detail products, which would you recommend?
Euro Car Parts have 20ltr valeters buckets on offer for £4.99 at the moment, worth checking them as do have some big discounts on car care occasionally. Thanks for a great video
Thanks for watching! Thanks for sharing that too, sounds like a great deal
Straight forward advice & a no nonsense approach. Mjjc v2 will give as much foam as you want lol especially with a karcher. 🙂
Thanks for watching James 😊 yeah the MJJC lances are great for that
Great video Heather. I have to say you make detailing a car look effortless. I’ve been doing my car for 8 yrs now. It’s only an A3 saloon, but on average takes around 6 hours to complete. Once I’m finished I am totally shattered… 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! Haha I still get knackered sometimes 😂😂
Can you send me the link for the two buckets with the connector plz I can’t find them

Another great video, looking forward to the interior one. Will you also do an advanced video covering additional/more expensive items ?
Thank you! Yep I’m thinking of doing an “upgrades” style video with some extra accessories and chemicals 😊
I picked up a K5 compact from eBay for the price of a new K2, worth keeping an eye out.
Hello Heather,there are some great products,and good for a budget, one I wanna try out is the GT range when I get low.
Thanks for watching, I’d definitely recommend giving some GT products a try
Good info 👍 Just my thoughts….Can’t go wrong with Blit Hamer products and A good jet washer,Nisflisk Core 125 👍👍👍
Thanks Richard 😊
How many times Heather said the word stress? Me :yes😂
😂😂
Great info Heather, I have a shelf full of car cleaners and waxes, But the results are always worth it 😂
Thanks very much, haha my collection is excessive to say the least 😂
Great video Heather have you ever used buff and shine microfiber cutting pad when you remove swirls and scratches
Thanks Dave 😊 I haven’t tried those, have use used them before?
What I have found is the hose and trigger gun you get with the pressure washers are too stiff and need replacement. What recommendations do you have for a replacement 8-10m hose along with quick trigger gun ?
Yeah that’s very true, here’s a link to the ones I got for my Karcher www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/in2detailing-standard-swivel-quick-release-short-trigger-gun-with-quick-release-nozzles?variant=32830964760655&ghref=3377%3A53788 www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/karcher-k-series-c-clip-to-c-clip-reinforced-heavy-duty-rubber-replacement-hose?variant=32368465313871&ghref=3377%3A53788
Heather thank you for this it will help me no end as I expand my cleaning kit 😊
Thanks for watching!
Top tips! Must admit I just love the fun of a snow foam don’t think my neighbours know what it is and just think I either love Xmas or missed out on Ibiza as a kid 🤣🤣🤣
Haha I’m the same! Definitely a must-have if you got more into detailing
