A few notes about the video.

This video was made with Mike Phillips during the summer of 2006 when I still had my 2003 MINI Cooper. For those that didn't know--Mike Phillips is the host of the video with the artificial leg--that's not me, as one NAMer thought at MITM. LOL.

Will the moderator please make this a sticky in the Detailing Forum. Thanks.

 

Sticky! Sticky! Sticky!

 

Richard: Thank you for creating this thread! The "2-bucket technique" is one of my favorite videos of all time! Crtl+D baby!

 

Good idea!!!!!

 

twas a great eye-opening video....learned a lot....but now my wife thinks I am even more obsessed

 

Liked the video. Everyone should see it. Please stickify this thread!!!

 

It makes so much sense. Asshamed I did not think of it before.

 

Thanks for the nice comments. Glad this thread was so well received.

 

OG- are you going to do a revision where you use Hydro during the
wipe down process?

 

Thanks OG. Glad I saw this video when my car was only a few weeks old. I had no idea that I was so ignorant about car washing - it does make sense though. Like umberto said - anyone who hasn't seen the video thinks you've gone off the deep end. Who cares - my car will have a lot fewer car wash induced scratches.

 

yes! this is the video that showed me how to detail. It gives you the whole mindset about how to take care of a car and what, as a owner, you do to kill the finish normally before "detailing"

great video. stickied a MUST.

 

Yeah, I found the video a while ago through some thread on the forum and it's great! Please make this a sticky so people don't miss it!

 

but it's still missing the critical final step to use Hydro... (?)

 

Kenchan, you'll be happy to know I just ordered my first bottle of Hydro!

 

 

Very informative video, thanks!

 

octaneguy thank you so much for the post and very informative video.

p.s. I'll check out your estore before I order from the 'other detailer site'

 

I finially got my Hydro and used it this weekend. OMG! I'm in love!

 

I thought the video was great. I knew a few of the tricks, but learned a few too. Are you thinking about doing anymore? I would learn a lot from a waxing/polishing or a convertible care video. Of course, it would cost me another fortune....
