[00:04] detailing now this video is going to be perfect 

[00:08] you just occasionally enjoy the odd bit of 

[00:12] this video is finished you're going to have all 

[00:19] coming up in today's jam-packed episode i share 

[00:25] car and i give away some of the biggest 

[00:29] the job done in the quickest time possible 

[00:34] so the first thing you got to do is get the car 

[00:39] boot now normally i like to start off by doing 

[00:43] because then at least if it does rain i can get 

[00:48] because there's nothing worse you get everything 

[00:53] and then everything gets soaking wet so this way 

[00:58] takes a few minutes to get everything out and make 

[01:02] nasty surprises are lurking under those seats okay 

[01:09] because i've put the seats forward these have been 

[01:14] around the car if i'm going to do the boot first 

[01:20] and then i'm ready to move on to the second 

[01:24] start off with the boot number one number two 

[01:28] number three at the very end we're going to finish 

[01:32] the best way to break down your cleaning break 

[01:37] make your life so much easier so remember i told 

[01:43] reason for that and i know you can't do it with 

[01:47] make our life a heck of a lot easier because now 

[01:52] so first of all you've got to soak your brush not 

[01:57] is put too much product on the roof lining and you 

[02:04] brushing into it into a circular motion now you 

[02:09] but that is not a problem what that foam's going 

[02:14] you've only got to do it for about sort of 

[02:20] towel now i like to use lighter tail so i've got 

[02:25] if you go for a dark one you can't always 

[02:29] this so what you're going to find is when 

[02:36] i can see that on this i've got a few little 

[02:41] back up on the roof because it's going to make 

[02:45] over and job done absolutely perfect with the 

[02:55] boot so i work top down and i start off by giving 

[03:00] afford detailing brushes then you can always 

[03:05] and while i'm on the subject of paint brushes 

[03:09] i really do urge you go check it out after this 

[03:14] description below because honestly i feel that 

[03:19] videos on a channel it's great fun it's full of 

[03:25] if you're car cleaning on a budget when it comes 

[03:30] and the one i'm using today is yum interior and 

[03:34] much safe on everything it touches so i started 

[03:40] i agitated it with the soft brushes and it works 

[03:45] nice brushes i then kept my 30p brushes which are 

[03:50] case there's some nasty gunk the boot mat is very 

[03:56] free brush tools that come with every single 

[04:01] who wants to save a little bit of extra 

[04:04] in the fibers in the carpets and while we're on 

[04:10] do you normally do first do you start off on the 

[04:16] for the boot door plastics make sure you spray the 

[04:21] because you don't want to get any chemicals 

[04:24] that is not pleasant it's time to get cracking on 

[04:30] when they're folded down it really can speed up 

[04:37] so we can finally take off the boot from the 

[04:41] with an initial dusting just to loose 

[04:46] at this point we aren't going for perfection in 

[04:51] will be spraying the interior cleaner and flicking 

[04:56] for you always try to keep the doors shut because 

[05:02] bit of wind and there was lots of pollen and there 

[05:06] a lot quicker than it was coming out the seats are 

[05:14] and before you say why don't you just get out 

[05:18] i don't need to and that's because i'm using 

[05:22] on everything i just want to prove that you don't 

[05:28] car cleaning so i'm using three different brushes 

[05:33] is different so next time we get a horrific car 

[05:39] a steamer and the power drill so make sure you hit 

[05:48] the door cards have the usual scuffs and 

[05:52] cleaner but as you spray the doors it's 

[05:56] as you don't want the chemical residue on it 

[06:01] to the top simply spray the tip of the brush work 

[06:12] with the seats taken care of and pushed back i'm 

[06:17] again i'm using the heroic poundland brushes 

[06:22] earlier which brings me to another disgusting 

[06:28] in things like dog poo or walk in public toilets 

[06:33] were used on the pedals and then used on the 

[06:38] those germs back onto your hands so remember that 

[06:44] the germs can spread easily and it's horrendous 

[06:49] useful then please give this video a thumbs up 

[06:54] you may think you need loads of water to 

[06:59] in many cases you can make do with a good 

[07:05] if it's horrid then a wet extraction is definitely 

[07:11] may notice that i always preach about not using 

[07:16] need to break out the glass cleaner and the method 

[07:22] that you have to spray a little bit of cleaner 

[07:27] important to get the windows down slightly and if 

[07:32] be a real eyesore so spend the extra few minutes 

[07:38] plastics is the very last thing i carry out when 

[07:43] yum interior is that good you don't always need 

[07:48] prefer yourself and because it's anti-static it 

[07:55] so there you have it it just goes to show you 

[07:59] a very good job in fact you need a couple 

[08:04] that will be good enough for your general 

[08:08] videos like this that go a bit more in depth 

[08:13] steam cleaning and also breaking out the power 

[08:17] turn on those bell notifications and 

[08:20] is going to be coming in the next few days
