Love watching your videos, i have given up a life as a car technician to become a detailer for a Porsche specialist in Chichester I'm getting to do somthing which I love doing and watching your videos gave the push to do a job that gives me so much satisfaction.
Wow not far from me. My daughter was born in Chichester
As others said: I'm using an old mitt I don't want to let on the paint anymore. It's much easier to handle than a cloth.
I'm someone that hates cleaning wheels. Nonetheless, i use a vikan, boars hair and the DF tyre brush, along with a mitt and the EZ or Vikan barrel brush, as well as a bucket of shampoo, a pressure washer, surfex and an IK foamer..... It was exhausting just to list it 😅
It never stops. We all have the best intentions of doing it all by the book but with my own cars I'm not fussed anymore
The Vikan barrel brush is nice. I also got one. I decided to buy one of them instead of the EZ brush
Wish I could get down to clean the wheels properly 😞. Back was knackered in crash years ago so best I can do is clean the wheels with a soft floor sweeping brush! 😣
I’m going to try in the next wash. Thank you. I like the way you make the car wash simple and easy.
Works a charm
Klin green monster wheel & engine cloth is what I use, brilliant piece of kit, 👍
I’ve started doing this Dave also own way too many brushes including the VP one’s brilliant video
Thanks Paul I'm getting too old to keep getting down to scrub wheels. I just need the easiest ways as possible now
Brilliant thank you definitely will do this going forward :)
Thanks mate
I've been doing this for 30+ years. I'll try not to get too excited. 😊
Nice one 😀
Wheel cleaning glove is also a good item for a quick clean. You can pick them up im a pack of 3,5 and 10 for buttons to.
Yessss sir, I've been doing something like this for a while, if I neglect the car and the wheels really get bad then sure, I go for brushes, iron remover, and so on. But if I manage to keep up all I need is a few liters of water a capfull of rinseless wash and a mitt or a towel. Easy, fast and as an extra I don't get my face covered in brake crap 🤣
Great video. I often use a microfibre cloth on my alloys. Brushes don't seem any faster to me, and they get worn too.
Thanks mate
My favorite tools for wheel cleaning are, the PU infused cloth from in2d, same idea, as yours, but the Pu doesn;t soak up as much dirt and last longer. i use the EZ detail wheel brushes, they are just so good and have lasted me a very long time now and still look brand new. i also use the dirt lock turbne grit guard and the dirt wall just so I can get a really good scrub at the brushes. I've switch to the dirt lock as i feel it traps dirt a lot better than any other one I've used so far
Sound in principle - I discovered last summer the best way to wash my pushbike was a microfibre cloth instead of a sponge or brush.
Ya know what, I need to give this a go with the cloths I've deemed no good for paint.
I also like that Larry uses multiple cloths for the wash phase as well, might be something to that.
Yeah it's not a bad way of cleaning wheels. Yeah I like to try alternative methods. Especially if it triggers people lol
@@epicautomotivedetailing can't see why this one would, definitely less scratchy than one of the brushes. I reckon the cloth method would be great on black wheels.
I just use a cheap washing mitt, spray redline leaving for 2 mins, scrub with a tad bit of meguiars in a bucket of water, then rinse with pressure washer
Can't do better than EZ brushes Dave. There superb quality and pay you back many times over
For a minute I thought you were going to use the Karcher patio cleaner attachment held at 90 degrees 😂
Stop giving me idea 😂. Never heard of that one but love it
@@epicautomotivedetailing yeah it's not a bad one that is it! Definitely worth an experimental video! 😂
That’s the first thing I thought also..
Have you tried it😂
@@Belfasttintinnot yet! May do but only on some old banger 😂 I already know it wouldn't work though, I used one last year and you have to move it around to get a full disc done. If stood still you just get the outline if a circle
Can you do one on gloss black wheels please
The one thing I found a problem was cleaning wheels is the heat shields around the brakes they used to chew up my wheel woolies like no tmw. As they were descent ones it was expensive to replace them so bought the EZ barrel brush and use this instead as it goes between the brakes and heat shields with ease and no chance of being chewed up.
i think i need to make my own wheel brushes for a video
Once again another fantastic and informative video Dave
I use microfiber when doing mine as I use waterless wax and shine and a pump sprayer to wash the dirt off.
Thanks Mark
If you’re not familiar with it, the “auto fiber wheel paw” is a godsend!
Worth a try 👌
Dave this is a good alternative method to clean wheels. I had a client call and asked if I used a wired wheel brush since the previous detailer used one and the plastic tip was missing. It scratched his rims on the exterior spokes and in the wheel barrel and he had to reapir them since the detailer wasn't insured. It is a bit of a work but if you use the right mix of chemicals a degreaser and a brake cleaner like P&S let it dwell it works. You mentioned the platic tip and some detailers forget that if it is missing you might as well throw it away since there is a chance it can damage the rims. Have a great day and stay warm!
Yeah it's so easy to scratch with those brushes once the tip has gone. Wheel woolies have been the best for me so far but the valet pro brushes have also been pretty epic
Hey dave nice video, any news on when you'll be releasing the headlight restoration video
soon mate. got a plan of videos for 2024
Again I am First But I Said already I am From India now it's 2:11 AM right now... So I will Watch the Video In Morning Good Night😴😴
Try get some sleep thanks for watching :)
@@epicautomotivedetailing Now in India it's Winter so I can't Use Pressure washer can you make a Video on Water less wash with a Foam Sprayer 😊😊... Thank you Good night😴😴... I hope you will make it
The video isn't even 7 minutes long, you will get to bed at 2.18am rather than 2.11am lol
@@ItsMeYourRealDad Hi dad how are you I am missing you from 13 Year's finally you are back ❤😍😊
poking the cloth through behind the spokes and grabbing each end is a really good way of doing behind spokes if space is tight
buy 1l APC dilute it 10% in a hand sprayer, thats is enough for 10l of cleaner, dont rinse, just spray the wheels and arches wait 3 min, blast with power washer, and then use 2 diffrent brushes, one for tire and arches and one for rims. that is it 10min all 4 corners done. use iron remover few times a year... dont over complicate.
I like using a wash mit! Your hand and finger combination are very good for getting in nooks and crannies 😂
It's an essential skill to master lol
Thought you were wheeling out the steam cleaner for a surprise 'part 2'.....controversial indeed. Now i've said it i'd like to get a crap dirty wheel to test the theory on!
Do it, think about it this way normally you use wheel cleaner and foam before any brushing etc so it's a good solution for someone who's not invested in many brushes yet
Toilet brush from ikea 2 quid or a fiver with the steel holder ….it really does clean the crap
I use five finger microfiber mitts
Nice 👌
Well i am surprised i though this was normal i started doing this in1972! .and a little wheel brush from halfords.
Brillo-pads 👍👍
If it works for you 👌😅
I just use a sponge and Autoglym Pure Shampoo on the wheels is that a bad thing?
I'd never judge mate
@@epicautomotivedetailing haha will take that as a yes but to be fair they seem to clean nicely
I have been using a "wheels only" meguiars wash mitt on my wheels for donkeys years. Same as this but better as it doesn't fall off your hand and you don't have to "grip" it... No need for brushes if the wheels are well protected and looked after too!
Funnily enough, this is similar to what I do: I use a microfibre noodle glove. Allows me to get my fingers into all the nooks and crannies really easily and, of course, it never touches the floor. Was just a few quid from Halfrauds. For the barrels I use the EZ brush: Does a great job whilst fitting in the tiniest of gaps.
Just had a thought ?😁 what about using a toilet brush ?? 😉
good for pet hair but not wheels sadly
What's up with good old fashioned bog brush? Well all those plastic brushes flick wet brake juice all over my white action slacks.
For a basic wheel wash to tart something up and save some time think it’s a good idea ,a lot of people are not bothered about spotless barrels,if it looks right it is right 😂
Couldn't agree more. This video isn't aimed at detailer's as they already have the tools, the resources and the knowledge whereas average Joe just wants solutions for problems
Yeah get that completely,no need to to over complicate anything 👍,keep up the good work mate ,I do it full time for a job and just keep it simple when I can
I use a long Meguiars brush with a wash mitt glove. Easy n lazy lol
hey if it works go for it! I ain't judging 😀
Halfords microfibre wheel glove is cheap £5.49 better than a cloth and protects your hand too
I use a few brushes and a relegated MF wash mitt to do mine
Yeah good shout 👌
Lord.... u just need a degreaser spray!
Even the Lord knows that's not the case
i would only use that method on manky old battered alloys….nice new/refurbished alloys that you care about should still get a proper treatment IMO
Yeah definitely that's why I did on my Audi lol. Poor old thing still scrubs up well 👌
