I think this has become the ultimate 'How To' video for frist time detailers. The amount of useful (and funny) comments is brilliant!
Thank you we had fun filming this one
Oh man your cousin is the funniest guy, got me laughing real good for the whole video. love seeing what a beginner thinks to all these products and methods we do🤣🤣
Yeah he's the best. A great addition to the channel. That's why we started a new channel together because he's Gold
This was actually epic! My first time snow foaming a car got exactly the same reaction, and that enjoyment hasnt reduced one bit. Best thing I did was to become an enthusiast and, your videos have helped with my education, so thanks. All the best 👍.
Thank you very much. It's better being an enthusiast instead of doing it for a business
Best detailing video ever, even the first 5 minutes got me in cracks. Loved the tips did it this way for the first time ever, had the tablet with this video on! Thanks.
Refreshing to see someone genuinely excited to learn 👌😎
He's always so positive about life he's a great addition to the channel
Sounds like a good night out 😂😂😂 classic , fantastic video never the less it’s so easy to overthink it when it comes to cleaning especially dealing with the dreaded brake dust. A real pleasure to watch you lead the way
Thank you
this is why i hate working for a company that recruits valeters all over the uk, as ive been here that long now and ive worked my way up, im now the guy who trains all the rookies... and i swear, it frustrates me sooooo much, as a lot of these young kids are cocky/arrogant and think they know it all, so they still do it the way matt was doing it... but, you can tell matt was genuinely thrilled to learn.
Yeah its very difficult. I had people trial before and once they become to a certain level they just move on. I don't blame them. Thankfully Cleans like this are purely just for fun
Great video Dave. You and Matt make a great team. Useful information combined with with some excellent double entendres. 🤣 👌👍.
It was a bit chaotic 😂
didn't seem that long ago when i first got into detailing properly, and buying my first snowfoam lance, a mitt and couple products, fast forward 4-5 years and im now doing paint corrections and building a unit, this epsidoe really brought back the love of detailing and why soo many of us got into and just the fun side to it, brilliant episode, thuroughly enjoyed this
Yeah I feel like detailing has lost its way as an industry. The seriousness kinda killed it off so it's nice to take it easy and just have a laugh
@@epicautomotivedetailing mate, when I first got into machine polishing, I had the detailing police (in certain groups) getting triggered over it lol I should do all the proper training and this and that bla bla bla, I literally only wanted advice at the time to practice on some old panels before doing my own cars 🤣🤣🤣 sometimes you just gotta get on with it, learn from your mistakes and have fun whilst doing it, but totally agree about it all going to serious, intend to find that attitude is a lot worse in the states (no offence USA guys 😅)
If the life expectancy for a detailer is 30 years then I will be 81 when I retire and wearing depends and pampers while cleaning out cars! You should have the wheel cleaner on spray and not stream to avoid the splash in the peepers. I have never washed a car in the rain and that is truly art to wash it in the rain. I noticed the gloves that were being worn and they are not water proof or insulated. Amazon has waterproof and insulated gloves you can buy in bulk. This is a great video a whopper and bloody good and very helpful with lots of information. Do you think Matt can be trusted to detail/Valet his car by himself next time? Matt's reaction to the snow foam the removal of the wax is priceless. He is like a kid in a candy store and shocked by the ease and results of cleaning and waxing his car. The car did look amazing and the TRIM was stellar and insane!
Thank you. I actually have no idea on the life expectancy of a detailer 🤣
Haha you and Matt are the best! Joy of a video with some class tips.
Thank you 😄
This was brilliant, cheers boys.
This is the vid I’ve been waiting for!
Thank you
Are this one thing he will know know how to keep is car clean look like it needed it thanks to EPIC . fantastic job well done.
thank you
Very enjoyable!! Thank you both
Thank you
awesome thanks, i have breathing troubles so need an easy way to clean my car , and i think iv found it, cheers M
Great enjoyable epic vid. The panda looked great. (Think Cousin mat had a epic time cleaning😂)👍
Great video! Loved the bants. STRAIGHT LINES DAMNIT 😂
Thank you 😃
Great video guys! ❤
Cheers mate, great products. Totally forgot to put the code in the video, apologies
@@epicautomotivedetailing no worries :D
Great video guys absolutely hilarious, love the Panda would like to try one, ive got an Abarth 595 Trofeo thats really good fun!
we have a 595 biposto we may feature on our other channel. Just a bit undecided in this awful weather
Afternoon Dave…..just wait till you’re doing it daily at 54…..lol. 👍😉🇮🇲. Ps the amount of product you used on the wheels, was nearly the price of the Panda ……ha ha 😂
i struggle now lol
Great video mate 💪💪
Thank you mate appreciate it 🙏
Hello Dave, that was brilliant,to see Matt see his car transformed made his day,it does look amazing,it made me cringe when he sprayed the door with wheel cleaner lol.shame to use it now.
Yeah he was well happy bless him 😄. Thankfully the wheel cleaner didn't have any impact on the bodywork
@ 2:49 - oh hose, sorry I was thinking something else now you have your own studio an all now Dave. I haven't watched one of these in a while but am glad you are doing well. Your rhetoric always makes me laugh!
I also feel I am an 'Epic Car Detailer' myself now after watching a few more minutes of this. Good 'lad like' fooling around and a bit of fun none-the-less.
Hi Karl thank you. The videos are so much better to make when you have others to bounce off. Matts just amazing so he's really great on the other channel
Great video. Keep Matt for future jobs
100% he's going to be a big part of both channels
The new “chuckle brothers” 😂. Another great video Dave!
😂 we actually could be at this rate lol
Makes it more entertaining
That studio/garage looks really cool. Want one of those myself😎
Nice, mines pretty cheap to run
@@epicautomotivedetailing it doesnt look cheap, i bet people would sell their cars faster even after a good all around clean and good pictures in that room.
Love your videos man! Im new with this, and learning alot from your videos.
@@epicautomotivedetailing if i may ask where did you get that neon light stuff you have on the walls?
Brilliant video and you two are funny
Thanks Nigel. We have another channel called epic car show where we film together. Worth a watch 🙂
Great video 😊
Thanks Dave
Once again Dave another fantastic and informative video
I think you should have put a counter up for every time Matt said Fantastic or Amazing lol
I had to cut out loads of "fantastic" from the edit already lol
I honestly dont know how you manage to clean cars AND create all the videos. They are fantastic!
Ps, I dry the top of the car last as it's flat and the water stops on it and fills my towels up quick. (Yeah, cheap towels, I know)
its difficult. Previously I Was focused on being a detailer but as you become a content creator you have to adapt and change the way you look at things so I decided instead of being so serious id just keep it real and make content for the masses and not the few. Nothing wrong with cheap towels
I see what you meant. That was a lot of fun. (WOT NO CHOCOLATE BISCUITS) My nephew still has a lot to learn.😂 Dad 👍🍺
Cheers Dad
Amazing content ! Do you have any links for the hand polish sponge ?
Keep on the good work.
Aaayyyy , she hasn't looked that good since the day I bought her! Nice job guys.
Another day it can have a machine polish
Hi what was in the spray bottle you used around the doors and then out side? Thanks.
I am from the old world of a garden hosepipe, bucket, fairly liquid, sponge and chamois leather. I really want to clean mine and my partners car myself and do a better job as we have cars that are not bangers and worth looking after, but the sheer outlay of equipment and chemicals to do even the basics as seen here is insane, not to mention the water cost and amount of time. It just does not seem worth it over here in the UK for your average person, especially as it's likely to rain within a week of you doing it. I am trying to go half way as I have invested in some wash mits and car shampoo. I would love a power washer, but they are bulky and expensive for a half decent one and we would struggle to find space to store one. I cannot afford to have them done professionally as the prices are ridiculous, so often end up driving through the IMO for and £8 wash!
Dave, what was that blower vac you were using? I'm after a decent shop vac that I can also use as a blower for my car.
Hardcore Arsenal fan from Indonesia is watching this with full of Smile 🎉😂❤
Thank you 🙏
1:07 don't spend too long cleaning the tin box, cuzz won't survive long enough to enjoy it...😂
Welcome back Mate🫡🙏
hello
Look how well it scrubbed up, amazing👍 will there be an interior clean on this car too??
Yes interior clean being filmed this week
Top job 🎉
Thank you
This was one of the most cracking episodes 😂😂😂 proper laugh ...
Thank you. We have more content like this on our other channel @epiccarshow
He did good
I really like these panda 100HPs and an absolutely great daily car.
This one is a lot of fun
Hanging watched this I'm actually looking at one the now for a second car 👍🏻
Fantastic video! Have saved for future when I need reminding of techniques you’ve used.
Also I remember in a previous video (I think last year) you mentioned the longer cuffed gloves you used when you were a mobile detailer - do you have a link where they can be purchased? Thanks!
Thank you. I got those gloves from Wilko which I think closed down but frogchem actually sell them in bulk
are there any of these products that cant be used on black alloys? does that even make a difference?
cheers p.s im a newbie
Entertaining and educational- win win! Thanks from Australia.
Thank you 🙏
This was hilarious, thanks
Thank you
Love the videos....what the yellow bottle solution name that's restoring the wheel arch and trim ? Thanks.
Plastic coat link in description 👌
Nice 1 😎
What is the car unit You've got and how would I go about getting one? Thanks. Absolutely brilliant video I'm thinking of starting out as mobile detailing as well
this video covers pros and cons of studio vs car. It will help you - th-cam.com/video/aIGOIokY6jg/w-d-xo.html
Where can ibuy an attachment like you have for spraying and soaping up the car. Is there a particular brand u would recommend
Ava foam cannon. Links in description
Hey Dave, great video as always…I’ve just ordered some towels and mitts after watching this - (finally! Been meaning to for a while since you first featured them) annoying however I forgot to enter discount code though 🫤
Must get me some of those other products too, so thanks for the time stamps, should make finding the quicker 👍
Amazing stuff. Sorry longer than normal Video. We didn't really have a plan of action other than just pressing record
Is that the ava easy pressure washerpal? And if so is 130 bar enough?? I need to replace my karcher k2 as some people say I'm pissing in the wind trying to get a decent foam using one of them haha, so just looking a for an affordable, half decent new one.
This is the easy p57. They have the easy p60 now (don't ask lol) they have more models than Calvin Klein
Matt! What were you thinking cleaning a car with nice boots on!!?? 😂😂😂 are you hooked on cleaning cars now?
lol he loves it now i think
@epicautomotivedetailing inadvertently you gave some really great tips in that video because you were actually showing a beginner and not just talking to yourself. I'm going to watch it again tonight to mark them down.
Matt was so excited for everything 🤣
thats amazing feedback. means a lot it helps me plan better videos@@rorykelly3846
How did you get the plastic cleanner in the grille sections? Always had a nightmare with this on our 100hp!
A lot of patience lol. For cleaning we use wheel woolies and brushes
How often do you wash your microfibres, and how do you know when they need cleaning?
I wash them after every use
Looks great 👍 what product did you use on the plastic.
Infinity wax plastic coat
@@epicautomotivedetailingthank you mate 👍
Dave when you ready, do you mind giving my Hyundai Kona N a once over…mmm. Forgot to mention I live in Perth Australia. awwell
Pay for my flights and I'll do it for free 😅. My auntie lives in Perth as it happens and I'm actually going over there soon so you never know
Nice bmw9 rt in the background
Not mine but pretty cool
What did you use for the plastic trim?
Wheel arches etc?
Was it tyre cleaner?
Plastic coat by infinity wax. I put links and discount code in the description. Its mega
Love the accent 🤙
😃
Even ted looks happy.
He found that manky teddy in a bin lol
2:24 Oh man! 🤣
Not Sure Matts mum / My Auntie will be happy with his comment 🤣
@@epicautomotivedetailing 😆
Hi what is the actual turtle wax graphic detailer that you are using?
Pure shine misting detailer
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thanks mate got my first job tomorrow only a hoover and wash for 40 quid plus I've only got basic stuff at the moment. Planning on getting some of the basic products you suggest with my first bit of cash. Great videos btw.
Great advice, I would've benefited from a bit more information about the products you used so I know what to buy
Hello my friend. My entire channel is packed with hundreds of videos that do just that. Please take a look through the back catalogue as there are videos all about pressure washers, foam cannons,tools that go in depth for each item 🙏
@epicautomotivedetailing sounds good mate I'll check it out, I've just bought my first car you see so this is all new to me. Cheers for the speedy reply aswell 👍
What is that pressure washer and that gun and wand?
Ava Easy P57 they sold out so quickly because they are brilliant. Back in Stock Early 2024.
What happened to your other channel, I can't seem to find it
TH-cam/@epiccarshow
Feeling better mate?
yes mate back on it now thankfully. just been overworked
@epicautomotivedetailing think most of us are, that's life i suppose 😢
What pressure washing is being used here?
Ava p57
How about claying the car before polish?
How about a list of the products used .?
The entire list is literally listed in the description
why start with the wheels first? surely with them being at the bottom they should be cleaned last?
No I've already made many videos explaining in depth all the reasons
Hi Matt are you growing vegetables 😊
but i still want my car doing by you, i swear to god... ill even drive it to your location and leave it with you for a week, because i want the full shabang... i fucking love my fiesta but doing it as a job, i dont get the time to detail it how i want as im always busy... but honestly, i want the full FULLL shabang... prewash, wash, clay bay, wash, machine polish, wash, ceramic, wax, windows, roof lining, vents, seats, wet vac, magic sponge, i want EVERYTHING.... so hook me up haha, price is no bother as i do the job myself, i know the value of time and chemical etc... cmon now dave, book my fiesta in lol
I'm sure Matt can help me 😅
1:38 He needs to stop rolling in the car.
Eye protection come to mind guys
So step should be goggles/glasses and mask up..
great video though cheers
30 days? I wash my car twice a year.
I would love to wash mine more often, but the weather over here doesn't really allow it (unless you have a nice garage, of course). So, I also only wash (myself) like 3 times a year. In the winter months, I just go to a wash box and spray it clean with high pressure once every couple of months.
the two of you are so posh
38!? I think the chemicals you use must have anti-aging properties! I always thought your 29/30!
Love your videos but he needs some proper work clothes 😂
And what type of car matters tho don't get that
Whether your working on an old dog or a super car. Some of these old cars won't get the same careful treatment as say a Ferrari. If I'm called in to detail the bond cars for example (which I was lol) then obviously the whole process has to be on another level of carefulness
All seats got spunk stains
It's alright doing all this but with all your tricks and substances I'm sorry this ain't for your average bloke no way
Ok that's fair enough. I totally respect that. Please can you provide me the things you would like to see so I can think of something to help you? 🙏
@epicautomotivedetailing what do I need for a complete start to finish ive ordered some pad applicators and I have meguilars ultimate compound so looking at your videos I need to wash it use chemical cleaner on wheels clay block any swirls on paint work then compound cleaner then polish then wax lol 😆?
So Matsch Produkte waste on a Fiat
we are honestly not bothered on this occasion. It was just a bit of harmless fun :)
