My top tip is using a ladies blusher/foundation brush to dust those easily scratched screens etc in a car interior. These types of brush are so soft, they will never scratch the plastic screens, or any other parts of the dash (I also use them for vents).
I don’t think someone with a brand new Rolls Royce would be watching this video 😂😂😂 Thank you for the tips!!!
Long ass morning in work off the back end of a filthy qashqai and on my lunch break... For some reason the dog poo example made me proper giggle. Love a nail brush
So true though. Not that I eaten it before 😂
It actually upsets me that I can tell how long it must take you to edit your videos and publish them, you're so informative and use great shots yet only have 20k subscribers? Just shows that KZhead is a very odd platform! Genuinely keep up the work.
Thanks man, genuinely love this message. I litterally put every into videos and sadly they never hit the views they probably deserve. Think the topic is the problem as I don't do many disaster details but it's growing slowly 😃
I agree with you hopefully your business build up and success 👍
@@alohafive-op6955 🙂 thank you
His videos and presentation style are very good. I can see him going a long way.
only? not everyone needs to have a mil subs man
Love how helpful you are! Lots of other retailers keep secrets to themselves but not you. Thank you
Always happy to help
@@epicautomotivedetailing thanks pal, one in a million.
Hi Dave Thanks so much for the fantastic video’s. I’m starting to have more confidence when cleaning the car. It’s brilliant how passionate you are on cleaning cars . Thanks again Dave. Stuart
Thanks Stuart. Being organised is the key so I'm always well prepared for each job 👌
Great video dave.. A yellow washing up sponge , with the green side also does a similar job to the nail brush. Just easier to get into the tighter areas.
Thanks Warren 🙏
BM nail brush I got 3 for a £1 around use for me, they also do a long slim handled brush great for down the side off seats etc. Thanks for uploading as always 👍
Cheers Keith appreciate it. 3 for. £1 better than my find 👏
Thanks for the video Dave, love the tip on a second brush on the paddles😅😁👍
Lol so true it's essential
For interior my go to is now a soft suede shoe brush. Bit longer. I found hte nail brush was great but the tiny footprint means one tyre takes ages. The footprint is obviously much bigger on a shoe polish brush but much softer too. Still gets in all the plastic dips and nobbles but somewhere between a detailing brush and the nail brush. Ok its £3 as opposed to 50p but buy a good KIWI one or something will last longer than the cheap nail brushes too (in my experience). For tyres i use a hand held floor/scrubbing brush or a washing up brush if i need something smaller on a handle for the harder areas to reach. (i put a microfibre up to cover the rim so if i slip whilst scrubbing the tyre im hitting my hand in a microfibre not scratching the rim with it instead) and simply move the towel round as i work around the tyre face. Im yet to buy detailing brushes. I keep loking at them but bought Chalk Paint brushes during covid (3 pack on amazon 8.99) when detail brushes were out of stock everywhere. I had to go with what Tesco had as potential alternatives to drill attachments and brushes, that two years later im still happily using. Shoe polish brushes are great on interior carpets too with the APC/interior detailer/hand washing liquid (for wools, as those detergents are really soft and gentle). I have one for carpets as a scrubber and one for all other plastics to prevent cross contamination. Easy to clean after too, so ready and perfect for next time.
Hello Dave,great idea with a nail brush,it certainly has it part in different things.
Thanks mate 😃
Great hack dave, I use a scrubbing brush for pots to clean my tyres, I find the handle is a nice angle hold while cleaning them
Yeah a real great hack for tyres
That's what I started out with and it really does save time and money even for the pro detailer/valeters great vids keep up great content
Bit enough people know so happy to share what I was taught back in the day
Another great video :) Thank you - It's something i'd never considered
Thanks Chris
Great vid Dave as always, thank you. Try using Dads tooth brush on indicator stalks, works well if sticky or grimy! Thanks for the tips always welcome the simpler the better, take care
Thanks Alistair, great tip thanks for sharing
Nice one ! Lovin these quick hacks keep up the good work 👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks Mate more coming
First video of yours I watched and subscribed halfway through. Keep it up from the Northern US.
Thanks very much 🙏
Personally I would use a soft bristle shoe brush instead. It is less aggressive and it covers more area as it is larger.
Brilliant tip here thanks Dave goes to show you dont always need the expensive kit.
Definitely a great tip for anyone on a budget. It's not perfect for everything but still handy
Top tips Dave! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻
Thanks mate
Very good mate, look forward to the next one!!👍🏻✅
Thanks Rob
Well done Dave another great video keep the hack videos coming please 👍👍👍
Thanks Mark. It's a real life saver for people on a budget
Nice one Davie Boy. Aint it funny we spend loads on brushes but the shite ones and pound shops can be the best mate. Great on carpets etc.
I spend a fortune on brushes. But the cheap ones are great for the rough jobs
Your the man Dave
I'll defo be investing in a set. Look right handy and will be used. Cheers Dave
Thanks John happy to help 😊
The sticks that have foam wedges (for applying makeup) are good for cleaning vents, dirt cheap too
Nice one thank you for sharing 👌
We are in lock down here in Sydney Australia, I will definitely try this method to get my wife's make-up off the dam steering wheel 😤
Would love to go to Australia. Thanks for watching
Brilliant thanks
Thank you 🙏
Morrisons do some great brushes in the cleaning section. They are like big nail brushes and they are 2 quid! I prefare them to the vikan nail brush type 👍👍
Thanks for sharing mate 🙏
Would the brush create a bit of splatter? I find excellent for steering wheels is cyr skrubber dubber pads, probably my new favourite tool
Yes a tiny bit of splashback so wheel before dials 👌
I use similiar brush bought for penies for low profile tires. Works the charm with proper tire cleaner. For bigger prifile I have a cheap market brush (
Thanks for sharing all your tips mate. I'm sure the community will be greatful 🙏
I guess you got over using sound effects after word squirt :D Have to admit made me laugh. Keep up with the good work, already convinced me to buy SC4 :)
Lol good old days 😂. Miss the old video's but many people hated them
Thanks for another great video Dave and the really great and helpful tips. Pleased to see you're well on your way to 20000 subscribers and no doubt you'll go well beyond that 😊
Thanks Martin how are you getting in with treatment? Hope your feeling better 🙏
Hi Dave, I've just started a new treatment. Unfortunately the one I was on wasn't very effective so they're trying something else. I feel a bit rough but remain positive and hopeful. Thanks a million for your concern 👍
@@martinsanford7240 my mum had so many problems with chemo. Amazing how strong the human body is. Anytime I'm near your neck of the woods I'll sort your car for free 🙏
Thank you Dave. I'm so pleased to hear that your mum finally found an effective treatment. The radiotherapy I received did its job quite well according to my Dr but the chemo didn't. Lots of options to try and I'm pleased to say that the great medical team at Worcester hospital continue to treat me 😊
@@martinsanford7240 lots of people genuinely care and where treatments can fail the love and kindness in the nhs wont
Thanks for the tip will be buying a few myself. The Amazon link for the tripod in the description isn’t working is there any chance you could give me the name please. Thank you👍
thank you just changed it thank you for the heads up
What car cleaning liquid is being used?
Hi Dave, what cleaning fluid were you using on the interior?
Xpert 60 interior cleaner
Can you do a video on your microfibre towels, Dave? 👍🏻
Yes mate it's coming up very soon. I keep chopping and changing content but it is coming
Hi Dave, did you do a VLOg on leather cleaning? trying to get rid of the dreaded slippy leather seats
Haven't done one as a full video yet but soon as I move into studio in Feb I'm on it
@@epicautomotivedetailing nice one dave
Top quality content. Check pound land they have some new car cleaning stuff. Glass cleaner/tyre dressing and upholstery cleaner bumpy fabulosa
Hello Don I have a whole dedicated Poundland video. Probably the best one on the channel 😁
Which APC/interior cleaner were you using in this video please? Thanks :)
Expert 60. It's alright I use so many different ones
Hi dave! hope you're well, mate! I have just bought a wetvac and told a customer of mine and she was a bit worried as she has heated seats. Will it be okay to spray the seats with a interior cleaner and use a wet vac to remove as much liquid as I can? I don't use a lot of product on the seats, so they don't get mega damp. Also is this the right way to clean cloth interior seats with the wet vac? thanks mate!
My seat belt light came on when they did this at the valeters, cost them a lot of money. Avoid it
@@bonkeydollocks1879 what did they say? I'm surprised you managed to get them to pay for damages, how did you prove it?
@@Sean-tj5cu mint condition second hand BMW, they valeted it just before I picked it up, drove off the lot, light came on, turned round gave them the keys back and they had to fix it, wet vac had soaked the sensor mat in the seat, seat out, strip, change sensor mat, picked car back up
@@bonkeydollocks1879 ah okay that makes more sense, I thought it was just like your local scratch and shine car wash had done it. Yeah I probably wouldn't go anywhere near heated seats. None heated and rear seats, I will do though
@@Sean-tj5cu it was the seat belt light sensor mat, not heated seat, two different things
Who wouldn't like the car cleaning hacks as it's one from Dave 👍 roll on end of August as getting new car & all the great tips you've given over time will be put to good use soon 😁
Thanks Neil appreciate it
Thanks for the helpful tips Dave👍 just to pick your brains, I have just purchased 5 litres of auto smart G101 general purpose cleaner have you used this before? Is it any good? And have purchased and used a tyre cleaning brush from chemical guys have you used the famous blue stiffy brush? What are your thoughts?
I used to live on g101 back in the day. It's great but use too much and it can be greasy but that's if I was being fussy lol
I would start less aggressive, I would first use a MF towel, then a soft inside detail to be more aggressive. Also, a toothbrush is another good brush for the inside. Don't forget to use rinseless wash for your interior for lightly soiled interiors. On very dirty & disgusting steering wheels, I will use a disinfectant/ degreaser, then wipe with detailer or rinseless...
when you scrub tires how do you deal with tire blooming?
Hello this is a dedicated video coming to my new channel this month as it happens link to my channel is on my channel homepage
I am new in this business and have a few questions. So, I clean the interior of peoples cars and charge 40$ for the whole car, vaccuming, dusting, scrubbing, cleaning the dash and the mats, all of that stuff. Wondering if i should charge more or less? What is the threshold?
charge more. make it sound like you are giving them more than they are getting so list everything . Eg plastic scrubbed, plastics dressed, Interior glass cleaned, exterior glass cleaned...
what I need in the water tank for the water to flow. Im start detailing buissnes.
Gravity 👌 most new electric machines suck water up easily
Every pressure washer video I make has water tank tests 👌
Привет :), хал хабер си нямам защо е модерно върху мокет да слага второ портативно парче мокет - и в двата случея е кондензатор на прах. Какви са разпоредбите за тапициране при вас не знам, ама аз моя го махнах и замених с балатум, с малка метла се замитат парчотиите в лопатка и се хвърлят в дъмпстера. С този метод елиминираме досадната прахусмукачка, а и следва бърз мопинг. Редуцирането на време и усилия е надминава очакванията. А пък с малък компресор може да се издуха повечето от праховото наслагване по плотовете. Просто е потребно разчовъркване на мозъка. Туторияла бе готин, поздрави от BG, Plovdiv.
What product are you using on the fabric seats?
Any fabric or carpet cleaner will do. For this clip I was using xpert 60 as it's currently going under testing process. It's pretty good though
@@epicautomotivedetailing I'll give that a try thanks 👍
@@kevinmitchell4960 it's really good. Plenty of good dedicated fabric cleaners out there.
Also can you recommend a good wet vac reading reviews on products like rug doctor bissel apparently they leak break easy an have rubbish suction
What does everyone clean first. In or out
I clean the outside/ door shuts/engine/wheels. Then dry it off and open all the doors and let any water drip and air dry then I do the inside and then i come back and do the wax and dress the tyres and plastic the wipe the wax off and then do windows and do a final check of everything and wipe the door shuts off for any bits
I'm outside first always

@@epicautomotivedetailing it's just a matter of time before the subscribers take off. 25k does not reflect where it should be at. High quality videos and entertaining. I did wonder if you knew you would be presenting car reviews and appearing on TV before you chose the name epic car show. But started with valeting tips and day in life if as a platform. Possibly the best videos out there for people to choose from in your niche. My shoulders drop and a big sigh comes out when yet another video is released somewhere of someone cleaning a very clean super car in a very clean garage.........
@@oursulaert thanks mate this Channel was called the car valeting channel but I changed it because I didn't want to be restricted forever. But my car content is now on my other channel. As it happens I'm filming TV show at the moment so later in year it will be coming out but will tell people more in time when I'm allowed
@@oursulaert good guess but no lol. I'll tell people the channel when it happens 😃. Yeah may take you up in the cannon
Going to get some now better not use the wife's nail brush lol Some times I use a dishwasher brush on the tyres Cheers
Why not 👌 I used an old wash brush back in the day too
brush looks rough itll rub everything off
I have had them from the begging.
Nice one. A real good bargain
Still using brush but with long handle .
Good shout for getting in those tight areas
toothbrush suits better
This is just the thing , if it works does it have to be a named product to get results ? No not really For APC I use a cheapo Aldi one , its only around 90p and if your cars cleaned often you dont always need a named , 10 times the price APC . Ive used one of these brushes on my tyres for years , does all you need and when its buggered , just buy another and throw the other away . You can pay more for a can of coke than one of those
Definitely use what works for you. I know not all cheap products are good but in my Poundland video I found some real good gems
@@epicautomotivedetailing just found this from a "lady" in America , look how many people have watched it but a couple of things ...... Shes blaming the mess on a "toddler" , look at the seat . Bit young for all those wrappers in the car ......... Her toothbrush idea is great , but look how many surfaces she uses the same brush on ? ....... cleaning the mats I expected ducks to appear there was so much water yet over a million views . She maybe far better looking than you but I know whom Id believe in telling me to do things , and its not the cute lady who uses one tooth brush on 20 things to clean kzhead.info/sun/oruAnal-eGlmqIk/bejne.html
@@tmphotography8443 yeah I saw this. Her following is huge. I'll get there 😉
LOL, a whole long video on a little brush, how useful it is on many things.? LOL
sorry yeh it was bit laboured
