early morning start let's do this
today we're going to be doing a mini detail on an aston martin vantage v12
hey
so let's start off by doing the wheels and i'm a firm believer in always getting the wheels clean
before you start on any other part of the car and that's because wheels can be such a messy job and
you don't want to wash the car down and then get dirty splatters of muck and all stuff onto the
bodywork especially after you washed it it's not a great idea so always start off by doing the wheels
first and i know i always preach about using wheel woolies and these ones are absolutely brilliant
they hold in so much shampoo it makes it great for the wheels you can lubricate the wheels a lot more
because they hold so much chemical in they are absolutely perfect these are my favorite ones
by the way to be honest this car was immaculate so i only needed a very light pre-wash and so
many people say to me why don't i do many disaster details on the channel well the answer is simple
i just don't do many dirty cars when i first started out all i did
was really horrible cars and people like oh how do you get all these supercars now
it was never like this like once upon a time it was really really difficult so i've had to work
my way up the food chain to get the mclaren p ones and their lamborghinis and their bugatti eb-110s
i do so many amazing cars now but it took me 15 years to get this just because you're not
doing them now it doesn't mean it's not going to happen you've just got to keep working hard
you've got to learn the tricks of the trade and you've just got to keep grafting
and i am putting together a video about how i started out and i really want to do it but i
want to do it properly because i want to show you guys the pedal bike that i started off on i had a
bike trailer i had absolutely nothing i didn't even have a car when i started this business
all those years ago so i really want to show you guys exactly how it all begun
and how i got it today so that video is coming i'm hoping it's going to be here ready in the new year
the shampoo of choice i'm using today is yum wash and i didn't realize this until i spoke director
nick yum and one of the incredible things about this shampoo is the fact that you can get around
the entire car and even if you leave it for a fair few minutes you can still rinse it off afterwards
and you're not going to get any streaks like i never ever knew that and i mean i've been doing
this so long now and i still didn't realize that it was a shampoo that was that good
that could do that so if you haven't tried yum shampoo for goodness sake
go get yourself a bottle because it's absolutely incredible it's one of my favorite shampoos of all
time and i'm gonna stick it bang on at number one and if you want to try it out you can get
yourself 10 discount by putting the code epic in at the checkout if you do shop at yumcars.co.uk
so it's really easy to rinse off no smears nothing to worry about so i jump straight on with the
drying process and the blue towels i'm using here as everybody probably knows from now they are auto
smart towels and if you're in the trade and you want great value towels they're only going to cost
you a five or eight so it's a really good idea to buy yourself two to four towels a month because
you have to have so many towels like even though i've got about 20 or 30 it's amazing how many
you sort of get through in a day so it's always really good to make sure that you've got plenty
of towels and by keep purchasing them every month and building up your sort of collection of towels
you're always going to have an easier run as you get on through the month so you're not going to
get times where you're like oh my god i'm running low on towels it's going to make your life a lot
easier and plus it's good to do a massive wash of one type of towel in one go so when i do my glass
cloths i put them all separately in the washing machine i don't mix them up with interior cloths
or exterior towels or anything that's had ceramic on each cloth has got its own purpose so they all
get washed separately and i will do another video on that that's going to be one that's
going to come later on down the line as well because i haven't done a video where i talk about
washing the towels and what sort of methods that i personally use myself
for the glass i actually use yellow towels and these ones come from halfords and i have done
for many years there's something about these ones that have always served a purpose and they're
like part of the family now when it comes to cleaning the inside of these cars they are really
tricky and it's so difficult to lean over because you've got that windscreen which is quite hard to
get your arm down and then you've got this large center console and you're really low in the seats
as well so it's like it's it's such a mission to lean over i know they say oh you can lean
from one side to the other but it's not really that easy when you're doing it in a supercar
sometimes you've got like put your body in the weirdest positions just to get the glass clean
moving on to the tyres now and this was the first ever time i got to use yum dress and
they have a dedicated tyre dressing sponge to make the application process a lot easier
and while we're on the subject of tyres yum have also just released a brand new dedicated rubber
cleaner called yum undress so i will have a video also coming out on that very soon
to finish the car off i'm using yum ceramic and this has truly been one of the best ceramics
i've had the pleasure of using this year just because of the fact it's simple it does the
job it's fantastically strong and the gloss is absolutely incredible and while we're on the
subject of ceramic waxes i've got my next video coming out very soon and that's going to be all
about mcguire's ceramic wax and that's going to be part 2 of my lamborghini aventador video
