Another quality video. I’ve learned so much from you
Excellent work bro 😎
great job👍👍👍
Excellent work !!
Thank you 👊🏼
Thankyou for not playin music during your wash! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
My pleasure 👍🏼 I use to in my old videos, but after listening back realised it was a poor decision.
Wait, did you somewhat bring back a coating or sealant on the windshield by washing it with Labocosmetica Purifica ?
Great job Nick, congrats. How can you fit all your gear in that golf? That's brilliant! LOL
Thanks Rui 👍🏼 Ha thanks, have a look at this video, I show everything near the end 👍🏼 How I Wash My Own Car - Winter Protection Top Up - Sneak Peak Into Car Set Up kzhead.info/sun/hJmGl7mhmnOppqM/bejne.html
Great job on the car 🚗 despite the weather. I've had the same problem before now when doing my car or my wife's car 🚗, it rains when trying to get them dried off
Thanks Michael! I had this exact issue again today with my wife’s car. It was quite misty today so couldn’t dry the car again!
Great job
Great video as always Nick!, nice to see a couple of products in there that I haven't yet tried. I use Auto Finesse Ceramic Foam and it's treating me well at the moment but might give your one a blast next time I need to top up. Question for you....what clothing/logo company are you using for your work gear? I need some winter wear made up with logos on and your gear and logo both look high quality. Thanks in advance!
Thanks man! The Koch is a lot more economical I believe 👍🏼 I get my clothes from www.workwearexpress.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAzfuNBhCGARIsAD1nu-91lsrjwtyJxzOjZALt9mkMPq8KXFWh5aDvVs4nz46zsqrd7Qe3BdwaAnVlEALw_wcB The jacket is regatta, but I wear a fleece underneath as well 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing Cheers bud! Take care and if we don't see you again beforehand I hope you and your family have a great Christmas. Thanks for all the content this year and for keeping me and many others entertained on a Sunday afternoon! All the best mate 👍
No problem at all 👍🏼 You too and thank you for watching the videos 👍🏼
Very satisfying video once again mate. The X6 has such a presence on the road. Autoglym Coat-it is also a viable alternative to Koch Chemie Protectorwax and works out about 29p per application! Sorry for asking so many questions but do you know where you purchased your tornado air tool? Thanks
Thanks Kaya 👍🏼 It’s lovely isn’t it! Great engines as well! I’m not to sure in all honestly. Detail Joe sells an SPTA tool which is very good as well 👍🏼
Great video as always! If you don’t mind me asking, what snow foam cannon are you using? Cheers 🙏🏼
Thanks William 👍🏼 It’s a PA foam lance
I noticed you use both Purifica and CG Water Spot Remover.. Are there different use cases for them? (I thought they did the same thing) Also, have you tried KKD Purity X as a Snow foam LSP? As I think it might be more economical than the KC PW. I tend to use it at 10% as a spray sealant though Thanks for another satisfying video!
Purifica is more of a limescale remover whereas CG water spot and Labocosmetica Energo are hard water spot removers. Purifica is probably one of my favourite products out there at the moment from a washing point of view. I haven’t actually, but worth a shot! I used a lot of KKD products so I imagine it’s great! No problem, thanks for watching 👍🏼
👍🏻
Being tall definitely helps in this game I'm short and since I started cleaning cars everyone drives jeeps lool
Hello Nick. I have a question. Do you have a problem with Koch Chemie protector wax that it leaves some kind of marks after your rinse it off? I have been using Koch Chemie for 1 year and every time it happens. And id you have the same problem what is solution. By the way excellent video and work!
Hey! I don’t have any problems if I foam it on, but I’ve found that if it’s from a spray bottle then I get problems! I make sure that the application is as even as possible so it doesn’t happen 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing Thank you for your answer Sir! If its not secret whats is dilution in foam canon?
Hi. First video watch & follow. Can I ask what high pressure Lance that is you have please?
Thanks Pete. It’s a Suttner lance with a 40 degree pressure orifice
@@HarpersCarDetailing thank you. Is that something that would work with and be able to connect to a Karcher do you know?
I believe so. I’m pretty sure you can get different end attachments for them.
Which pump sprayer do you use for applying the KKD Citrus Magic?
Spear and Jackson.
Cant seem to find Limescale Remover: Labocosmetica Energo anywhere. Can I use any old limescale remover on my windshield?
www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/collections/labocosmetica Clean and shiny are the only company in the UK that stock it 👍🏼
Jesus, there is nothing more annoying on this earth, when you are just after drying your car and it starts to piss rain. Great video again 👌🤙
Honestly one of the most annoying things. Especially having to hand it over to the client like this. Fortunately, they are a regular so have seen the car clean before this!
What are the different products used on the tyres, wheels abs wheel wells . Please I fly explain
All the products are listed in the video 👍🏼
Great video bud! How do you sustain a client base using their water and power? It's something thats putting me off going self employed and doing it because the waiting time and cost of a van is a make or break factor at the moment!
Hey man, honestly as long as you have enough to buy your chemicals some brushes and rags and you'll be set. From my experience I've had no problems using clients water, and if there is I offer them to come to me for a small discount. Also regarding the van, I went on offer up and found me one for 3000 after registration fees.
@@werodeets834 thanks for the reply mate! I’m certainly sorted with chemicals etc but think I may struggle to build a client base without water/power. Also not entirely sure what offer up is but I’ll have a look mate
I’ve always used their power and water and never had an issue in over 12 years 👍🏼 I’m not in a main city so always have access to water. If I was in the centre of London then I would struggle so would have water onboard 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing Neither am I bud, maybe im over thinking it then! Do you state that you need their power/water when you advertise? Thanks for the reply!
Not when I advertise, but when we have the conversation and if they ask if I need anything from them I’ll just say the only thing I need is an outside tap and a plug socket and I’m good to go 👍🏼
Where can I find the tool you use when you spray kkd citrus at 3:16?
It’s spear and Jackson from Amazon
@@HarpersCarDetailing thanks!
Hello Nick. I detail my car at home, one thing that i find frustrating is that when i clean my wheels by the end of the detail my rotors have become brown, i guess with what looks like brake dust. of course it disappears when you drive and apply the brakes, but then i t falls onto the wheels, making them look dirty. Do you have any solution to this.
Bilt Hamber Atom Mac
@@LSD04 Thanks for the reply. Will try it.
Agreed, Atom Mac helps greatly, or you can always wash the wheels then move the car backwards and forwards. I know you’ll be rinsing them again, but some chemicals accelerate the rusting of the discs. Alternatively, spend £10,000 on some carbon ceramics and you’ll never have to worry about it again 😂
@@HarpersCarDetailing Thanks Nick for the reply. Well if i start saving now could get the ceramics by 2050.😂
I have to admit i dont like the kc protector wax after few days its completly gone i rather use a spray wax or coating
What dilution are you using is at? I only ever use it as more of a drying aid and never class it as protection as such. There are companies out there that charge for it closing it as a protection 🤦🏽♂️
out of curiosity, what was the outside temperature?
Probably around 3c degrees or 38f
@@HarpersCarDetailing my god, i would freeze out. great work though! merry Christmas!
What gloves do you wear when washing?
Black nitrile gloves 👍🏼
Your website and Instagram links don't work.
Should be fine now
Huh... interesting. I didn't know BMW made diesel M Performance models.
I've got a 2012 M50d and everyone who asks about it is shocked to know it is a diesel. A girl at work knew me for 4 months until she found out it was a diesel. Very rare cars. One thing that really sucks is 50% of gas stations don't have a diesel pumps and if they do, the adapter isn't the correct size and I can't pump.

the n57 engine? very unreliable. local garage, always full of them, doing serious engine work, warped head, warped block, blown head gasket that kinda thing, the bills are astronomical, used replacement engines also just as expensive as they are always in demand
Which bmw isn’t right
@@MahendraSingh-rp6er m50, m52 were good reliable engines, m54 was alright, sometimes overheats its coolant when driving hard, but bigger radiator for it is neither expensive nor hard to install, but the unreliable engines are much more common for bmw it seems, all V8's burn oil from valve seals, n54 has its rattling wastegates, direct injectors and ignition coils, n55 is marginally better but you have to give up forged internals, n52 has weird magnesium parts for who knows what reason besides making it more complicated than it needs to be
Its because of the emissions shit. Delete all that garbage and re-tune it and its clean as a whistle. I've got 110k on my N57 and the only thing I've had to do was replace the charge pipe. Its smooth as butter works like a dream to this day.
🤦
