Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Yes. Lots to cover in the coming months (as and when the work gets done). As for temporary runner. It’s not going to be anything too exciting (just to manage expectations), frugality is going to be the key driver with only a mild splash of fun factor. All will be revealed once I grab something. I’ve got 2 weeks to find something. Thanks re the running. Have a great week.

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time comment. That’s a very good point. I’d omitted to consider that angle. She certainly gets spoiled. Thanks again. Take care.

I dunno about neat 😂. But I 100% did meticulous planning for the day. Pipette saved the day that day.

@@rev-you1975 I got a set of metal tala measuring spoons off Amazon for £4. Superb when you need tiny specific quantities of something. And yes, the planning definitely came across well

Thank you. Yes. Totally do able. I’ll crack through this no drama. I’ll email you.

I did consider windscreen coatings. I spoke to a mate about it. And his feedback suggested he’d tried the top 5 big players and all of them introduced wiper squeal. So I’m a bit reluctant if I’m honest. Will continue with the cleaning power of traceless (thank you for introducing me to that), and (controversially) tipping off with wet coat (it works good for me).

@@rev-you1975 you have Bathe+. Jon (forensic) suggests using double the concentration. There's a test for you right there

Thanks. I’ll look that up.

@@pigeonpoo1823 Great questions. I was going to ask you for some suggestions on what video to do next. I think you’ve answered my question 😂. Coming soon……

@@pigeonpoo1823 I really enjoyed it. Amazing to see how good the chemicals do on a properly dirty car. It was fascinating. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@rev-you1975 I'd be fascinated to see how GT Decon compares to TL. Again, it's a test best reserved for very dirty cars! Good to see a big bottle of TL. Do you have a preference of TL or Autofoam?

Thank you. The bsd was 50/50. I’d done a few hours research prior to shooting. Was a bit of a logistical nightmare so I apologise if there’s any errors. Ech2o, onr and P&S were all at 16:1 for fairness to one another if that makes sense. All performed great at that ratio. In a nutshell. The key findings are. They’re all fine in direct sunshine on a really hot car with no effect on performance. RW’s are simply much more economical and achieve a great result. Thanks re the running. Bit achey today. Sure that’ll only get worse. 9.6 miles in 2 days. So banked a few extra miles already. Thanks for watching as always. Take care.

My mum's car has bsd on it, so I'll try what you've done. Good idea, thanks

@@darrenrodd. Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It was just a test to see if was possible in principle. In everyday use for me personally. I use the foamer for wheels and localised areas. But was interesting to test none the less. All the best.

@@geninx47 Thanks mate. All very much appreciated. I could see on the video when I reviewed it I was rushing. Thanks for the tips. I’ll take those on board for the next part. Great tip re too much polish. And yes. Forensic detailing is excellent. John does great work. I’ll review and improve. All the best.

Looks a decent wee starter kit from Auto Finesse, car looks incredible I can’t wait to see it repainted, polishing wise it was a good first go, I can only reiterate others saying to go a little slower around an inch a second, I’ve just done a polishing for beginners video if you like that sort of content 😊

@GMDetails Hello. Yes. The kit is perfectly adequate for a beginner like me. I will indeed check out your video. Well in advance of my 2nd go this coming weekend. Thanks for watching and providing valuable insight. All the best.

@@pigeonpoo1823 Thank you. Yes. Totally. Really fancy doing the whole car. It’s really addictive. But one step at a time. Hope you enjoyed that one. All the best.

@@pigeonpoo1823 Don’t hold your breath 😂. I’ll do my best. I suspect the paint on the spoiler is kerput already so not expecting to get much out of polishing it. But we shall see.

@@pigeonpoo1823 I take it all back. It’s going great. Really pleased with the results this far. Can’t wait to get the video up. Just finishing up.

@@thenosamp Thank you. Really appreciate it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.

You are absolutely right. Car goes in paint shop at end of September. I’ll do my utmost to do a polishing video before then. As my std mantra is no dry runs, my first time is audiences first time etc, I may end up doing it in a few parts. Learning along the way. But defo have opportunity to start on the spoiler (paint already dead), then roof bar mounts (also dead), then once I’ve practised a bit, I’ll get in to the classic, bonnet.

@@rev-you1975 that has the potential to be very entertaining. A window of opportunity to be exploited

@@nigeltimms3582 Hello. Thanks re the running. I’m not sure re rinseless through a canon. I’ll get back to you on that (once I’ve found out).

@@pigeonpoo1823 Will do re the running. And great tip re the rinse bucket. I’ll try that. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I’ll ping your bottles back soon. All the best.

@@Dias-v Thanks mate. Appreciate it. I haven’t. This was my first trial of echo. Is it good as a waterless? If so I’ll give it a whirl. Thanks for watching as always. All the best.

@@Dias-v 200-1 for ech20. 256-1 for onr and p&s

Oh there’s loads of bikes. Been my passion since circa 1984

@@rev-you1975 something to talk about (your passion I mean) whilst you're detailing it / them.

@@pigeonpoo1823I do have a Chrome GT Dyno that needs the chrome restoring. I have been contemplating making a video of that once I get round to it. Citric acid wash and full polish.

If you already have P&S or Carpro. There’s no need. They’re all so similar. P&S smells best. All clean apprx the same. Hard to separate them really.

Thanks. Yes. It was just a quick run through to keep kit to the absolute bare minimum. Quite nice really. Simples.

@pigeonpoo1823 Up to now I’ve only tried towel and gridded sponge (in conjunction with rinse less). A colleague asked for advice on basic elements required for rinse less wash. So thought that would be a good basis for a video. As I favour the woolie mit for shampooing, I’ll probably save that one the indignity of a rinse less wash, and just use the noodle mitts. Also. As it’s so hot and the cars not enormously dirty, it’s probably optimum conditions for rinse less. Saves me having a melt down. Plus, as it’s so quick. I might have time to jam in another.

@@rev-you1975 nice one.

@@vforvictor7575 Thanks mate. She gets copious amounts of tlc. 153k miles and going strong. Quote for paint incoming Friday to sort rear arches and general spruce up. Engine refresh on the cards in the future. Hoping to get another 5 years out of the old girl. I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.

Thank you. Really appreciate it. And yes. I did. All the best.

The Stella tricked me. I signed up to running 100 miles in September. Ha ha.

@@rev-you1975 🙈🙈😅🏃💨

@@pigeonpoo1823 Thanks buddy. Good tip re the weak TL in a sprayer. I’ll try that. Also I’ll double check ratios of shampoo and endeavour to get a better result. It performs fine. Just looks relatively flat. Haven’t forgotten about the polisher. Just need to get planned n prepped for that one. Don’t want to generate any misinformation so want to make sure I’m doing it right in advance. Thanks for watching as always. Take care.

@@senditfpv6538 Ha ha. Agreed. I had spent quite some time mixing, measuring, prepping etc. Funnily enough, there had been a previous comment/suggestion re timing traditional method, contactless method vs rinse less. Including getting all the stuff out. Glad you reminded me. I’ll get cracking on that when I have 3 equally dirty cars. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.

That is music to my ears. I’m a trusted set of hands. Everything gets washed to spec. No dust. No particles. Am extremely careful with my wash media. It was incredibly hot. Slightly lost my mind 🤪. Also really enjoyed it. After a few few sound issues with the touchless test (currently exporting), I found myself just doing what I enjoy bizarrely, washing a a car to a reasonable level in a right old hurry. I enjoyed myself. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as always. Hope all’s well mate. Take care.

@@trifin5772 Great idea. I’d not thought of a hybrid solution. I’ll try that soon. Thanks. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. All the best.

@@pigeonpoo1823 Hell yeah. I’ll try that. Next weekend. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. My ongoing project daily driver. Costs me an arm and a leg in running costs and servicing not too mention mods. But I love it. Most reliable and indeed fun car I’ve ever had. Practical and fast. Winner winner. Thanks for your kind comment. I appreciate it. All the best.

@@rev-you1975 anything with subaru cost an arm and a leg but the results are so satisfying lol

@@pigeonpoo1823 Both epic. As expected. Just 1 you use much less of as we knew already. Touch on liked it. Reacted well. Almost impossible to compare performance. Both took the dirt off and left the coating alone. Winner. New one defo more economical.

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Dilution strengths is such a subjective debate. I’d say that 10-1 is a great starting point. Then tweak a little up or a little down from there. Apologies I can’t be more accurate or decisive than that. Water quality, temperature etc all play a part in foam delivery. Personally. I normally use 5% or 10% strength max and get good results. So 10/1 or 20/1. Saves product that way. Good luck.

@rev-you1975 thank you for the info.

@@naitteb1500 Thank you. Really appreciate it. I continue to work on her and make her better and better. Still performing her daily driver duties a treat. Running great at the moment. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.
