" I'm kinda a basic bloke to be honest with ya . . ." That's why, from all the car detailing channels, this is my favorite. No superfluous BS or "philosophy" of car detailing. Straight cleaning with a side of snark. Love it.
Can’t be bothered with pretentious twits myself lol
And of course the music. 😂
Agreed! And he's a hard working one with a good attitude. Definitely one channel that always brings a smile to my face!
@@autoshineblackpool I keep having the problem when I take seats out to clean cars that when I get them back in and connected the airbag lights come on. I double checked to make sure they were connected completely and correctly. What did I do wrong?! 😟
@@daceytuttle998 Nothing, in most newer cars there are airbags inside of the seats, and if you disconect the plug it will trip the code, because computer will not see the airbag. The solution might be not to turn on the ignition, when the seats are out (plugs disconected), then you might avoid the code. If ignition is needed and the code trips, you will have to delete it, a lot of cheap scan tools are capable of that.
It's nice seeing a non-click bait video of an actual, dirty car instead of what a lot of the big detailing channels do which is empty out a shop vac on the carpets, and run through a mud puddle before "Detailing the world's dirtiest car!"
Next owner: this guy really took good care for his car, i did a good buy
Wait till your electric windows go pop as he sprayed water straight into the doorcard
@@paddykelly3095 when ?
Paddy kelly your not a mechanic stop pretending to be
@@mg1721 he is spraying water on outside
@@mg1721 The doors are designed to allow water to get into them like that. It's the reason why they have drains at the bottom of their panel.
Growing up in South Texas, I have always loved chili. Nothing better than a homemade chili to me.
2006?? It looks like 2016. Honda really sophisticated!
I bet ya sister wants it back now after seeing the end result and I've been waiting ages for you to use the old heat gun trick on the faded trim.
Crazy to think of these as old cars. I remember watching James May reviewing it when it was new, with its rocket shaped handles. Great to see the heat gun too, used that in the past on some old Land Rover bumpers.
I truly enjoy these videos. One of my favorite features is his accent. I never knew someone could pronounce the word "minor" with the letter "A". I could spend hours talking with people with a regional dialect/accent and not understand half of what they are saying but still have the most fun of my life because people are awesome.
Keep doing what you're doing!
You don't see too many Bedlington Terriers in the US -- they're fairly unusual! Nice to hear he's been a good boy! **pats Moose on the head and slips him a treat** My favorite dinner is one we just had: roasted turkey with dressing, sweet potatoes, etc! Yummy!
one of my favorite part of your vids is how you show the finished job. other detailers try to do artsy stuff that doesnt really show the car all that well. you just go around the car and open the doors, what more could you want.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos...and the music too. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Minnesota!
Moose loves being in the workplace , he was watching in another video when you had got the seats out .
Hey look it’s the addictive guy I watch at 3am when I have to be up for work at 6:30!
I see Honda Civic in thumbnail, I click
I just recently bought Honda Civic, so this will be very helpful as guidance
Great video. I watch a couple of other detailers who appear to only engage in high end cars. No problem with that but in the final black and whitedetail analysis they charge £1000's plus for multiple days work and never take the seats out. This strikes me as odd even when their subject cars are definitely in need of a thorough internal clean. I can relate to Honda Civic more than I can to a Bentley 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant, again! I can't believe how fast you turn these around. Those flashy Americans are not a patch on you.
You could do a whole video on Moose! What a lovely!, amazing character he is. He's brilliant! !!
Thanks for the video.
You did a great job of restoring your sister's car! You really took care of so many details for her. Great work! Coming to you from Florida in the USA! I have a 10-year-old Mazda 6 that needs your skills. My car still looks great, but it's 10 years old and needs a good cleaning inside and outside to keep it looking great. Thanks for your helpful tips! Your tips will help me find a person that will give attention to my car as you did to your sister's car. Thank you! Btw, my favorite meal to come home to is my mother's lasagna and a good salad. We aren't Italian, but she learned from some nice Italian ladies when my parents lived in Philadelphia when they were just married and had moved from Florida to Pennsylvania for work. My ancestors are from Kent, England. We have been in the United States for almost 400 years. 2021 will be the anniversary of my first ancestor on my father's side of the family that came to Virginia as an indentured servant. I would love to come back and visit all of the U.K. You all are awesome people!
I like how you said "cars that actually need to be cleaned", as ive ventured away from this channel from time to time, and some cars on "auto detailing/cleaning" channels look like they've just driven through a quick puddle, or just through some mud and they're claimed to be "filthy".
My aunt makes the simplest chicken, just chicken breast marinated in a simple Italian dressing with mashed potatoes, and I'm in heaven. Maybe it's just the good memories with it.
You're a patient lad ! Hi from polish fan living in UK. Great work you do !
Oh my gosh that heat gun trick made a WORLD of a difference!! Looks great :)!!
Hey man, I just want to say I seriously appreciate all the work you've been putting in lately to add to the entertainment value of your vids. From the head cam to the editing, I'm seriously impressed! 👍👏
I have never seen a heat gun used on plastic trim, wow, never too old to learn.
Steven Brown it just work for a few weeks. After that, they will be worse, and the trick won’t work again. Most lasting alternative is to paint them
Just brings the oil in the plastic to the surface that eventually stops working and makes them brittle. :(
Love the videos. Favorite meal pinto beans and cornbread. Hi from the USA.
One of my favourite things in your videos is watching the product do its job even before you agitate it like the tar remover and others. Very satisfying. Speaking of satisfying. The best meal to come home to is Shepherds/Cottage pie with the crunchiest top followed by a dessert that contains custard be it fruit, trifle, jelly etc. Thanks for another fine show.
Yay!! I was worried you were unwell. Glad to see you are in business.
Civic "UFO" one of best used cars ever. I wonder how (if only) you clean rusty, greasy hinges of car doors ? Maybe you can show it on next movies ? Also don't you afraid of water spraying engine with all that electrics and electronics ? Despite all that You do the best job !! If I only live on islands ;)
South Lanarkshire boy here, was in AutoParts last week. They’re a bit grumpy but prices are good and stock levels are very good. What a difference on the Civic great job. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Neat trick with the heat gun. I'll remember that. Great job.
My mom's home made lentil chili, absolutely the best and heart warming. Great work on the civic!
Would really love to see you do more exterior work! Not necessarily a full paint correction, but just how you go about your average valet and what can be achieved in a short space of time.
Food wise, i've got a few meals I love depending on who's cooking it! Mum- gotta be a roast. Dad- slow cooked lamb shank. Girlfriend- lasagna. Also, Moose is huge now! I remember not that long ago he seemed tiny. Lol
Thanks for watching , love slow cooked lamb myself 🐑
I know he’s massive all of a sudden lol
That'll be a cracking buy for the new owner! Interesting to see you restoring the black plastic like that, first time I've seen a video on YT using that method. I've used it but I'm wary of damaging the paint! Favourite meal? Jaeger Schnitzel & chips :)
Oooh YESSSS, dah Magic Seats! Or 60-40 as they later call them. I have them in my Fit/Jazz.
Wow, that is a rather awesome chemical free plastic restoration work with they hear gun!
Fave meal?
Cream of mushroom with chicken, peas, carrots, and pasta.
Also, macaroni and 3 cheese with ground beef.
im a huge foodie. Ive had authentic food from a lot of different cuisines all around the world, but my favorite of all is Asian cuisine. A Thai curry or Sichuan chinese...love it!
I just love the fact that you remove the seats and really make the car squeaky clean. None of the other car detailing videos I've watched had done the things you do. I absolutely love your videos. Cheers from Romania.
the favorite thing I love when my wife cooks is super simple, curry, doesn't matter what's in it, potatoes, carrots, meat no meat whatever, put it on top of some short grain white rice, oh man, makes me happy. The favorite thing I like to make is chili with ground beef bell peppers, celery, red and black beans and tomatoes. I make a ton of it, we eat chili for a week. man im gettin hungry now but its time for bed soon.
Wow! The heat gun trick on the plastics is amazing! BTE you've made me order cleaning materials for my Civic. My only problem is I have no access to a tap, so im going to try and mix the cleaning things with a petrol station paid jet wash.
Great job , as always! Brilliant tip about the heat gun. Suggest saving the POV cam shots done in real time...to spastic in time lapse.
Favorite meal he makes is bbq steak and double roasted potato. My fav of mine would def b slow cooker chili
I wish we got those Civics over here
Aaron B Over where ?
@@JohnMcMahon. He's probably American, the US never got this model of Civic.
Salute from France. It’s difficult for me to understand all what you say because you have a terrific north accent :). I try to learn english Again after stop school twenty years ago. I learn how to clean and speak. Thanks a lot. Pierre
Hearing your voice is always such a treat but you looking adorable facing the camera at the start of this video was fabulous!
People look at me like I've got a third head when I remove seats while cleaning. Of course, I have a bad habit of turning the ignition on while the seats are out and throwing an SRS code! Those aren't easy to reset.
Cod, chips and mushy peas made by the wife. Loving the heat gun on plastics. I’m restoring an old rover 100/metro which has the worst faded black plastic bumpers ever! This heat gun trick will be the next thing I do!
Good job,good music!!!
that heating process is so cool!
Bow wow love it . Mouse is lovely. Great looking car - wish you could do my car .
This time of year love to come home to beef stew and dumplings with mashed potatoes. Need hearty food in Scotland x
You are the best detailer by far mate and I like a good stew
Lovely car, it’s been looked after really well, nothing really bad, our 2005 accord has notoriously soft paint. Food wise a good roast dinner!
Nice work as usual and it is great to have you back. Head cam is a bit dizzying. Moose is a real sweetie. Favorite meal...my wife's taco soup.
Respect from Greece👍Professional job...i m watching all your videos...keep going!!!
My mom used to make the best Thanksgiving meals. I have fond memories throughout my childhood into my adult life of her home style turkey and fixings.
That heat gun can also be used to minimize interior plastic scratches. Awesome transformation!
ABSOLUTELY moderately dirty Honda Civic.
"..an absolutely.... (moderately dirty...) Honda Civic!"
Nice very nice Honda , really good work and best wishes for these days .
Always great videos! Any food I’m always hungry.
Well done . Keep on. ,👍
What i say for me you are the best detailer ever 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Marcus Stolz ne kölsche zu sein correct
Don't think we appreciate the host enough. Absolute legend!
Huge helping of spag bol ...just heaven
Honda Civic looks well after Valet! Good to see Moose making his cameo appearance! 👍
That generation Honda Civic is Soooo different from the previous generation Civic... Very Modern and You did a cracking job she's spotless 👌
Good work, the car is excellent although it is not the one that had more dirt. I love your dog, is a charm, I send a greeting from Spain to both of you and by the way, My favorite meal is the Spanish tortilla.
Well done. The next owner is going to get a good looking car. You didn't put a link for the steam cleaner, a handy device to have. Thanks for sharing.
That was a pretty "ruff" joke at the end. One of my favourite meals is Steak, kidney and onion pie with mash and loads of gravy. Civic came up really well. Thanks for uploading.
Have you thought about being a DJ... Your music on videos is fantastic 😂 and it has to be home made lesangia
I’ve honestly contemplated driving from Glasgow to Blackpool just to have you clean my car 🙈 but then know the drive back would end with it being filthy again! Gutted you’re not Glasgow based!
Really love watching your videos, I get pleasure out of the beginning & then the ending of each cleaning! 👍
From a central lanarkshire lad, steak pie and mashed tatties, bisto makes me go Ahhh! Great turnaround as usual gary. Love watching the vids.
Big up the central Lanarkshire , thanks for watching
Home made "Chicken and Noodles" - basically chicken soup with a lot less broth so you can eat if on a plate. Or if that Scottish guy released another car cleaning video, you can load up a bowl and go eat it in from of the computer - lol! I always eat too much of it!
Thanks for the video.
Hey.. great work! Maybe you can do a follow-up video sometime covering the bits like restoring the headlights of this car and any other minor fixes to paintwork. That'll be great!
Awesome job as usual 🙌🙌
Missed your videos, don't leave it so long again 😂
Food - anything I haven't cooked myself 👍
The car looks great now, hope Sis pays you for the work!! Favourite meal has to be Liver & Onions with Mash and Mushy Peas!
Nice action with the heat gun 👍🏻
Nice one Gary, hi to moose, look forward to the next one..
Liver, mashed potatoes and peas. My mom house to make it.
That heat gun trick fascinates me. I love it
I like your music!! Always upbeat and fun. You'd be fun to go clubbing with! We like the same music. LOL.
You put so much effort in the details, that's awesome !
It's gotta be carbonara made by me with good garlic bread.!😙 great job as always the civic came up nice 👌🏻
Another great clean 👍🏻....my favourite meal...my mum does a beef casserole with a pastry top with mash potatoes and veg absolutely delicious 😋 👍🏻
Love chicken n chips but love coming home to T-Bone , mushrooms , Gravy and chips . The Wife does an extraordinary Lamb Roast too
You nearly took that front bumper off when you ragged it into the unit 😂
Finally a Honda Civic, now i can get inspiration to clean my Honda Civic
You doing a great job man, thanks for all your videos. I am glad that a found your chanel.
Another great video yes have used auto parts in the past in Motherwell
Always a pleasure watching your videos, mate!
Hi Moose! =)
My meal is my Mom's fried pork chops, sweet corn and buscuits. The best!
Keep up the great work!
I definitely learn something new every time thank you so much for all the helpful tips and great content.
I clean interior first and then wash exterior and polish after that , works for me 😉nice vid btw
Chicken n chips braw vid the bald spot we've all got that at a certain age
It’s crazy to me how different that version of the civic is than the ones that came to the US
Yeah I was thinking that too. I want rear seats that fold up and that reflective area under the Honda logo between the headlights. That looks cool!
Shame about the tiny trunk, though.
It's more of a half-Civic, half-Fit (Jazz) really.
Top tip with the grey plastics. Thanks.
Stuffed shells stuffed with ricotta and sweet Italian sausage, with a butternut squash sauce instead of tomato. Sounds weird, but it’s amazing.
Would really appreciate if you did a few slow more close up passes with the Hoover and the carpet cleaner it's so satisfying watching the dirt get hovered and the dirt water coming up
Hi Garry. Id like to recommend a couple of products to you.
Firstly Garage Therapy Decon shampoo-brilliant shampoo that can also be used as a snowfoam. It really gets your paint squeaky clean.
Secondly Bouncers Done and dusted SI quick detailer which has amazing gloss and longevity.
Both can be bought in 5l tubs.
Keep up the great work.
This is a cool lil honda! The US doesn't have these body styles this is pretty neat
Washing the mats reminded me of washing my mother-in-laws van.
A can of silicone spray, you can see she’s my sister 🤣
That's one catch me up!!
@@ritwikkaushik4026 he uses lots of silicone spray after hes finished the valet
Good video 👍 I just ordered new seat covers for my car after this video 😂
Awesome video mate. Top tips, very therapeutic, and banging soundtrack!
Great to see you again, favourite has to be Roast beef.
Summer BBQ burgers and sausages, Winter a nice meat and veg hotpot.
Favourite meal of all time.....curry
