Great video Harper! I love the way you show everyone how you detail and the products and processes
Thanks Swifty!
The attention to detail is outstanding!! Not sure how much you charge but after watching this I know I’d pay knowing my car is in safe hands and most importantly detailed to 100%
Thank you very much! Very kind words 🙏🏼
Beautiful BMW and nice job
Another satisfying upload 😌 perfect to watch before I fall asleep, ty ❤️
Not sure why they’ve sprayed the brake callipers red...I much prefer the OEM BMW blue. Great video!
I agree.
They have started to do it on some of the M models.
Cheers man, appreciate it 👍🏼
BMW now offers blue and red calipers from the factory.
Awesome video!!
Amazing video 💪
Beautiful job 👌
Nice job!
that paint is gorgeous. gray but has a peachy - pink hue when the light hits it.
6:45 You never told us you had a twin working with you! Let alone one who copies everything you say 😂😂
Haha he’s my parrot.
Not sure what happened here, as it’s not on the original video
@@HarpersCarDetailing I found it quite amusing to be honest 😂 Maybe it should become a regular new feature 😂 Great vid as usual bud
I really enjoy your videos! You're a pro in detailing, its awesome to see how careful you go to work on these cars! 1 tip from me to keep your pants dry; buy a waders (for fishermen also). :)
Thank you very much 👍🏼
I usually do stay a lot dryer 😂
I do have water proof trousers, but find that the inside of the car gets soaked as the water just sits on top of the trousers
beautiful buddy car great video very relaxing to watch
Very nice auto detailing car looks amazing 👏👌
Thank you, Rodney 👍🏼
Very nice result. Waiting for my G30 LCI in Bernina Grey to arrive in May. It is the 530i but also in m sport trim and same 20 inch wheels. Looking at your car I can’t wait to get mine and give it a go with the rupes... How did you find the paint hardness? Is it the usual hard BMW paint? Thanks
Great vid. Gloves and a good face mask: very good!
Thank you 👍🏼
Safety as always. Some coating are carcinogenic, so really don’t want to be breathing the vapour in
@@HarpersCarDetailing I see A LOT 'professional' detailers on CZcams applying coatings and chemicals without gloves nor mask. Unbelievable.
It might just be uninformed about the product.
I also use Liquid Elements coating which is VOC free.
Where did you get those gloves?
What dilution ratio are you using the BH auto foam at? Great video, once again!
Cheers Joe 👍🏼
About 200ml topped up with 800ml water, so roughly 3% PIR ( Panel Impact Ratio) 👍🏼
❤❤❤❤
Great video Harper, really enjoyed it! If I may, what brand / type of gloves did you wear during the wash process?
Hi Marlon, I usually just wear nitrile gloves, however when it’s particularly cold I use Sealskinz waterproof gauntlets as they are quite warm and 100% waterproof 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing thanks Harper, much appreciated! I've looked into that brand before...will definitely give them a try...looking forward to the next video 👍
Again.... Another fantastic detailing vid by you Harper..... Is that you surname or first name.... Anyways... Lkve watching your demo vids.... Keep up the great shows
@@McLoom1 thank you very much 👍🏼
Second name, my first name is Nick.
A lot of people call me Harper though so either or ha
@@HarpersCarDetailing thanks Nick.... Pleasure to meet you 👍👋👋
Nice video! Do you know which BMW color this is? Keep up the good work!
Thank you 👍🏼
I think it’s called Bernina Grey
amazing video but could you please show drying stages as well as how the car looked before rinsing it?
Thank you!
I was very quickly running out of daylight so unfortunately couldn’t show as much as I wanted too.
Have a look at some of my other videos as I go into more detail 👍🏼
Do you have any tips or pointers for a first time DA polish? i just bought the STPA cordless polisher. going to use lake country white foam pads and a gyeon light polish. just doing a 1 step quick passes and a coating? thanks
I’d struggle to give pointers in a message but with it being your first time I would start with the least aggressive polish and pad combination and work your way up.
I’m not familiar with the SPTA machine, but on a Rupes I would be working at speed 4-1/2 covering roughly 2-1/2 foot squared and doing 45-60 second sets with a couple of passes.
What coating are you using? Is it your own car as sometimes they aren’t very forgiving and if any high spots aren’t removed then they will cure permanently and need to be machine polishes off again.
Have a look at czcams.com/video/yQeFz_rIELY/video.html he’s great and should give you good tips 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing yes it is my vehicle than onto more and more. i will be using Gyeon quartz coatings and polishing compounds.
Brilliant, I’d definitely take a look at Detailing Yoda’s channel.
I believe Gyeon’s polishes are diminishing abrasives, which means they break down as you use then throughout the cycle. You’ll also need to spread the product over the panel first to ensure that the abrasive is even distributed.
Are you using Gyeon prep to wipe down the surface before coating? This way you will guarantee that the paintwork is perfectly clean, which will allow the coating to bond to the paintwork 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing ill be using a gyeon clar bay, iron x and gyeon prep yes. and ok thank you. im just nervous
I’d use their tar remover as well.
So...
Tar (as tar sits on top of the paint)
Iron (as iron burns its way into the clear coat)
Clay to remove left over and any other contaminants 👍🏼
Nice! Thinking of getting the coating on my car. How long would it last?
It really depends on what coating it is and what you use the car for. Is it garaged daily?
Carpro Cquartz uk you will see 18-24 months, or longer of the car is garaged.
Carbon Collective have a coating called molecule which they claim lasts 5 years, but I would realistically expect 3-4 years
@@HarpersCarDetailing Garage kept daily. Have you had experience with Carpro Professional? I'm curious if durability is significantly longer with that product.
I don’t have any experience with the professional version as you have to be an authorised Carpro detailer.
Great vid again. What happened to the sound at 6:45ish or is that just me?
It happened to everyone
Hhhhhm, not sure. It’s definitely not on the original video.
One of me is enough, we don’t need two of me!
Have you ever used Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light?
I have and personally don’t get along with it.
I look after a car that has been coating by an accredited Gtechniq detailer and it only lasted a year and a half, not the 5 years quoted
@@HarpersCarDetailing Interesting! Would you say CQUK3.0 is a better coating?
I personally would rather use CQUK or Liquid Elements Eco Shield.
Or if you are wanting a like for like in terms of the 5 year longevity claim then Carbon Collective Molecule would be a great one 👍🏼
What would you recommend to put on the leather after it has been cleaned ?
I would go with Dr Leather Dye Block 👍🏼
@@HarpersCarDetailing great thanks, so that would act as like a conditioner ?
@@michaeldesouza4911 with modern leather you don’t actually need to condition it, would just need more of a top coat.
If it’s an old car with ‘proper’ leather, then I would use more of a cream or conditioner
@@HarpersCarDetailing oh really I hadn’t realised that, thanks for explaining. My car is 3 years old !
Thanks so much for your guidance, really appreciate it.
why do you clean the tires with a microfiber towel before you rinse the hole wheel with the high pressure washer ? Unnecessary, right ?
The microfibre towel ensures that the tire is perfectly clean, as the fibres grip onto the rubber and clean it more thoroughly.
The high pressures water doesn’t clean the tires. Yes, it removes visible dirt, but not the ingrained dirt in the pores of the rubber, so no, not unnecessary.
Give it a go yourself, I guarantee you will pull off more dirt from your tires with the towel.
@@HarpersCarDetailing ok, thanks for your answer, I will try it. greetings from germany.
Scratches aren’t actually “removed” or are they? If enough rain has fallen - rinsing off all of the product - the same scratches emerge again right?
They are removed.
When polishing you are removing microns of the clear coat which the scratches are in.
@@HarpersCarDetailing interesting, thanks
amazing content but would be better if u didnt timelapse i love that feeling of real time scrubbing and also what happened at 6:45 timestamp lol
Thank you 👍🏼
I never know whether to speed it up as I don’t want the videos to be too long!
Not a clue at 6:45 but wasn’t on the original video 😂
They have a Mercedes AMG GTS and 911 Carrera too
Quite the collection isn’t is.
The GTC is a monster!
How much do you charge per detail?
You never ask a detailer that lmfao
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Yo
