“It’s absolutely honkin” might be my new favorite phrase for describing a smell. Lol.

[lesleysmith]

You and ‘Car Cleaning Guru’ are the best ‘cleaning’ channels. You’re both a bit OCD and seem to love your jobs. Accents are excellent too!

[brendantinsley]

I’m guessing the sticky residue is oil based vape!

[seanaldo]

"Smelt like a tramps

That is up there with my all time favorites quotes on this channel 👏

Love it when you start with the Scottish patter 😁

Honkin is another one that starts confusing people 😂

I've HONESTLY tried watching other channels that do car detailing, and NO ONE presents it as well and as enjoyably as you do! If I could get my car across the pond to you, I'd have you do mine!

2 questions! How many towels do you go through in a typical car and how do you clean them? Also, what is your found coin fund up to? THANK YOU for the GREAT entertainment!

[williamcarboni]

Love watching you work. Best detailing car channel on you tube. Use a lot of your techniques on keeping my car clean, tried removing the seat in my vehicle (Honda Pilot) they were heavy. Your right vacuuming is the best thing to keep a car clean. thanks for sharing. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

This was my old car i sold it to someone who sold it on to this guy.. it was always kept immaculate when I had her glad to see it clean again.. 😊

[carolmccorry]

You are one of the few detailers that use their steamer properly, to loosen scum and kill all bacteria and spores. . love your blog

[fble]

No need to retire Henry, all spare parts are readily available!

[histriamagna]

The unsung hero of car cleaning . Respect👍

[paultripp]

I’ve been waiting ages for your next vid, you’re the man !!! My most favourite detailer on the tube.
Right I’m off to watch this video now

[joaquinrius]

Oh man I just suffered when I saw you use steam on those door panels. Mark 5 VW platform has an horrible manufacturing problem with the headliner and door panels fabric, in time the cushion foam turns into dust and the fabric completely detaches from the plastic base, so water or steam will only make things worse, learnt the hard way, had to completely repair all my jetta panels and headliner. AWESOME work as usual !! Completely underrated channel, hopefully the YT algorithm cathes up!

[leabarto]

Great job as always! "Smelled like a tramps tent." That made me snort laugh.

[cantliff]

I lol'd when he said he didn't think the car was a stranger to a midnight car park gathering

[c.nicole.n]

Clever way to incorporate the steamer when cleaning the seats and carpet. 👍🏾

[marksweetman]

You’re not wasting your time. Always like watching your vids and of course you get a clean car at the end.

[jotareye]

yeahh, finally the next one, salutations all the way from South America Venezuela

[benholland]

Cracking result there, enjoyed that. Totally agree with the comments at the end about parking and stuff when you’ve got an expensive machine

[slaphead]

It's great to see you bringing cars back to life again and looking fresh. Amazing dedication. Keep up the good work. 🙂👍

[geofffikar]

Well done, as usual. If most of us didn't like your content, we wouldn't watch.
