hello we're back with a brand new video and for today's disaster detail i'm cleaning a filthy
muddy land rover defender and not just any old land rover this one happens to be one of the
most bonkers models i've ever seen in my life it's a 6.2 corvette engine and it produces 430
brake horsepower and it costs the owner a figure in the region of 200 000 pounds
so first of all let's take a look at the wheels now these wheels have got more brown stains in
my backside after a dodgy curry and it's fair to say that this one's actually been used off-road
and it's not just the wheels it's the messy flaps as well so the interior wasn't as dirty as the
exterior so the main focus of today's detail is to get this mud off and bring back that much needed
shine so you've had a good chance to see exactly what i'm dealing with today and how difficult
it's going to be obviously it's really muddy underneath but it's not actually too bad on top
and this car previously had a g-technic ceramic coating last week so it shouldn't actually be
that difficult so let's jump straight in with the video so let's kick it off with step number one
and that's blasting off the first layer of dirt off the arches tires wheels and mud flaps and by
doing this you're going to save yourself chemicals which will undoubtedly save you money as well
so remember to get the worst of it off first as there are so many
nooks and crannies that hold a lot of dried on mud

product that i am using i will also put links in the description below and for some of them i will

so what i'm doing first of all is applying auto smart prestige xls to the underneath for the car
and basically what it's going to do is make life a lot easier for cleaning as it safely breaks down
the dirt and because it's a cool day and it's not exposed to the sun it means you can allow
it to dwell for just a bit longer than normal so you get the best of the cleaning power right here
now with the underneath done at the land rover it's time to soak the tyres and arches
and after about 30 to 60 seconds you can start giving it a good brush if you want to get that
super clean tyre so these are vikan brushes and if you've never heard of these they're
super soft brushes they're perfect for using on the tyres they're really good for using
on your mud flaps and on the wheel arches as well because they can loosen off
all the dirt now we'll put a link in the description below where you can get hold of them
so
okay so now what i'm going to do is spray the wheels with a bit of wheel cleaner let it dwell
for a few minutes give it a brush off and then give it a nice blast
softest brushes in the world right here look at that proper soft
the wheel cleaner that i'm using right here is called young wheels and it's one of the
most high performing and technologically advanced wheel cleaners you'll ever find
on the market as you can see here it's a gel like substance as soon as the chemical reaction occurs
it starts foaming up and these brushes are probably the softest brushes i've ever used
and what happens as soon as you start agitating they just foam up and it removes the dirt so this
is a non-acidic ph neutral wheel cleaner an iron fallout remover and it's also
safe to use on most painted polished powder coated clear coated and chrome
rims you can use it on the tyres but because i'm a cheapskate i like to save money
hence the fact that i did use tfr
instead
okay so i've now done the wheels now it's time to jump onto the body work and for this
what i'm going to do is just give it a quick rinse first of all just with water on its own
then we're going to cover it in a chemical so i'm going to run it through chemical lance because i'm
not using a snow foam today and then we're going to give it another rinse ready for a contact wash
first of all i want to start off by rinsing the car now this is a very important step
that some people tend to skip when cleaning a car which is okay if it's not too dirty
but for this one it is a major essential part of the process
and the idea behind it is to blast off as much mud as possible as it sits in so many
gaps and you're not going to remove everything here that's not the whole point of it but the
point is to make your life as easy as possible so remember water is cheaper than chemicals
now the car's had the initial rinse it's time to cover it in a blanket of
chemical now when it comes to performance i pretty much find identical results when
i'm either using a snow foam or a tfr so the idea of the chemical is just to assist
in removing the dirt you're not going to spray on and it's not going to just magically remove
every single speck of mud it doesn't really work like that
while the chemical is dwelling it's now time to get out the soft young cars detailing brush
and that's really good at getting in those tighter
areas like the lights the grilles and the wing mirrors
with the brushing all done it's now time to rinse off the chemically broken down dirt
of the car and like i said before this previously had g-technic crystal serum
and xov4 just last week so the dirt just flew off the paintwork and i have to say
that the combination of those two products together is absolutely insane if you want a
real long-term protection then i do suggest you go check out g technic
jumping onto the washing stage and the shampoo of choice today is
yum wash because i love the suds i love the slickness and it smells absolutely gorgeous
now even though the car is actually in the shade i still like to do one side at a time this is purely
because of the fact it is a large surface area and you still don't want any chemicals drying
out so make your life easier and do one side at a time especially if you're working on your own
the towels you can see me using here are waffle weave towels from yum cars and it's
really important to fold over the towel to reduce the pressure against the surface of the paintwork
so it's really important that you've got plenty of extra towels one towel is not enough for a car
of this size and when you've got fiddly bits like ladders there you've got a roof rack there you've
got lights there you got a wheel on the back there's quite a lot so you are going to need
a few different towels because you don't want to start wiping a bit that might have a bit of grit
in and then you wipe it over the bonnet and then all of a sudden you've got a scratch and you've
got a problem so just bear that in mind if you are going to do cars like this make sure you've
got plenty of towels to hand the blue ones i use are from autosmart and these are mainly used for
the door shuts and the fiddly little areas that you can't normally get and you don't want to risk
damaging your better ones so the blue one sadly got demoted so this car a couple of weeks ago
actually had g technic crystal serum light and then the day after it had exo v4 on top
so it's well protected already so for this all i'm going to do today is use brilliance
hybrid detailer and this is by bear carcase so this is sio2 infused and basically it would give
it an extra layer of protection it would give it a super gloss as well so all i'm going to do
is just give it a quick going over because like i said it just doesn't need anything else done
to it today so this quick detailer is one of the best in my opinion and bear carca never disappoint
when they bring out a product now this one adds gloss and it's incredibly simple to use just
spray on wipe off and you get instant incredible results so this brilliance hybrid detailer doesn't
give you a massive long-term protection but that's not the point of it all the idea is to give you an
instant shine that makes people turn their heads soon as you're driving past in that car it gives
you the impression that it looks like it's had a full-on machine polish and it takes barely a few
minutes to spray the entire car and the paintwork feels like glass soon as you've applied it
oh shut up stupid jet wash it keeps going off whenever it wants
so i'm trying out my new camera today and this is a sony ax 43 4k camera and as you can see
from the footage the products i'm using speak for themselves so i've got some more exciting news for
you right here so we have a brand new website which is live and it features product reviews
and how-to guides now as you can imagine i get sent a heck of a lot of products on a daily basis
so i simply don't have time to film everything due to the amount of time that actually takes to
get a video out so the website's just gone live and i will put a link in the description below
where you can find it and it's not just me doing it this time there is going to be five of us
who are going to be pushing loads of content out so like i said it's not going to be
just reviews it's going to be how to guys it's going to be business tips as well so if you're
part of the detailing community do go check it out and if that's not enough why don't you
go and check out our brand new fantastic facebook group now if you love detailing and you want to be
involved with the community and you're too scared about talking about some of the things that you
don't know how to do this you don't know how to do that and you just don't want to get any grief
like you might get from other detailing groups then do go check out the detailing network now
this is a group that i'm personally running myself because i'm dedicated to helping the community
so if i do see any negativity i will just ban the people straight away so at least it's going to be
a safe place where you can interact without any of the drama that you might get from the other groups
so in previous videos i talk all about not using glass cleaner because sometimes you
don't need it to get a smear-free glass but today i thought i'd give yum glass cleaner
a go because i got everything else and i thought well if that's all been amazing
why don't i just give this a go so for me actually smelt like black currant and what blew me away
was the fact that i managed to combine this with using my brilliant way of cleaning
glass and i got an even better finish i was just i was so impressed with it and i know
sometimes when i clean a glass i think oh you know what there could be a little smear
but this was just crystal clear like i've never used a glass cleaner like this
the rubber mats just needed a tfr and a blast for the karcher expert
and i didn't need to do any additional brushing either which was quite nice
for the tyres i'm using a drifter tyre gel this is also one of my favorites and this is from bear car
care i'll put a link to them in the description where you can find this product as well
as you can see from the cars that i feature in my videos i don't actually get those manky ones
so it really filthy and dirty this is about as bad as it gets for me and before you say
oh you're just lucky let me tell you this i've been there before i've been there i've
done that i've done all the bad ones and now i have a recession-proof client base
because a certain strategy is in place so if you want more information then do watch
my business tips playlist on this channel where i talk about how i became successful
and how a one-man band can really make it in this detailing industry my interior cleaner of choice
is yum interior and i know i do feature quite a lot of yum products but simply because they
are very good and if you've got something that works for you then just stick with it
so after four hours of hard graft here is the final results
so there you have it guys one clean car and thank you very much for
