So lovely to Finally see some Defender stuff. Keep them Coming

You completely ignored 1 massive thing, the engine bay, when I was a detailer, my 5 tips is, 1. if it's bad, fork out the cash for a professional, we have the chemicals and acids and disposal to do it right, 2. cover the computer. 3. use a range of brushes to get into the nooks and crannies, 4. when using high pressure be extremely careful and don't get too close, especially around wiring/connectors spark plugs, let the detergent do most the work, 5. Avoid sun like the plague.

Im just stoked to see a defender on the show

Bugger all that my paint is faded the flairs and tub is in primer and the clear coat is roached so I only have to pressure wash, mine ain't pretty but she sure is reliable, owned it about 2 years and haven't touched it with soap or wax, and I don't care about scratches.

A bit advertorial but great content. Products and techniques have come a long way since the 'sponge and two bucket method'. Foams that stay foamy really help soften all sorts of road and off-road muck. Pressure washing is ok but keep the lance away from sensitive bits. As said here, low pressure high volume not the other way round. These wheeled under cleaners are also great, including where roads are salted.
There's loads to really like here and I've not seen the installed chassis hoses. Very trick.
Keeping a vehicle clean when used only on highways is hard. 4WDs needs even more care and it's often more difficult to do. Thanks!!

When i bought my 80series i wasnt able to get it in low range, when i started the attempt to remove the transfer case i noticed thick antique mud between the shifting links, cleaned it and and what a surprise🎉🎉🎉

I'm not convinced unless these instructions are applied to Sooty and that Hilux that did the 24 Hour 4WD the other week.

Gotta say I used the chassis shield about 4 months ago and it’s actually amazing! Even now the mud barely sticks underneath

need to do more with defenders there's a reason why there the best 4x4 there is and you need to see it for your self

Can we get a update on the OG dirty 30 resto please

[PowermanZAR]

Here in my Village, we wipe the vehicle down with a chamois cloth to remove all the water spots after washing it

[jamessippel]

Does it matter if I use bore water? I live on a farm, tank water is for drinking and bore water is for washing machinery and vehicles .looks great cheers.

[rohantherockwiththerocketh]

I think once I get another 4wd I'll have to try this stuff.
Great video guys thanks.
Have a ripper fellas!

Silicon is your friend on the beach Tyre shine is silicon

[Warhorse]

My 4WD is way to dented and rusted to start caring about all this, maybe when I get a new 4WD but I'm still waiting for my current one to die 🤣🛻⛰🛻

[rbathorn]

Are any of these products available in the US?

[michaelclacher]

Love these products! Great advice! No more circular motions for me! 😂🤗

[joelmurphy]

I pressure wash my 10 year old $17 hardware store paint job at least once a year.
bits of it the pressure washer hasn't peeled off yet get washed.

[Disco_Lux]

What about the interior? And do you have products to help get rid of swirl marks and small scratches?

[shaneburns]

So Mr Miyagi was wrong! Side to side, not wax on wax off. I feel betrayed. love the underbody washer. chasis rail cleaner. I love seeing experts in their trade.
