Hey Torque Steer crew, it's Luke here! 🚗✨ Welcome back to another Classic Torque Steer Friday! In today's episode, I'm taking on a project that's been long overdue - detailing the exterior of my Alfa Romeo 159. Join me as we dive into the nitty-gritty of car detailing, starting with the decontamination process. We're not going to rush this, so I've split the project into two parts to ensure we cover everything thoroughly.

In this video, I've tackled some intense cleaning, reaching every nook and cranny, and I can't wait to show you the transformation. Tune in next week for part two, where we'll polish and wax the Alfa to perfection.

Can't wait to see the machine polish, your progress is obvious. I have a black 2010 Santa Fe, I'm hoping to copy your advice.

Beautiful looking car. There is a black one along the road from me. All cars should look like this.

The no rinse is interesting. Here there is steadily less tolerance for dumping vast amounts of detailing chems into the drainage system. Would be really interesting to see how you’d go about a home detail while minimising the product runoff. I’d like a better result than is possible using the classic self-wash shampoo+hotwax bay, but renting a detailing bay for an afternoon seems like overkill.

Have you tried doing a second wash ( post pre wash and 1st contact wash) using a clay mitt rather than using micro fibre mitt? Also means no need for detailer spray .

@TorqueSteer 4 ай бұрын

I've done it that way before to good results. The detailing spray is the same product that I used in the wash but at a higher concentration. It seemed to glide a bit easier than using the mitt in the wash bucket.

Love how you were getting those door/window joints so chosen that the water was following up the door 😂😂😂😂. Was this a test to see who was paying attention😂 On a more serious note, and i say this as a mudflap person, the ones on the car don’t look good. It looks like they are universal ones made to fit. Maybe a proper set that fit the car would be good. Experience tells me on Landrovers and my current Mercedes that even the eBay/chinese copies of the OE ones are excellent and not that expensive.

@TorqueSteer 4 ай бұрын

Haha yeah it was a small detail to see who noticed. The mudflaps seem a bit loose. They might need fixing a bit better. I want to keep some on because the 159 has a tendency to sling stones up on the rear door.

@mercedes_and_more 4 ай бұрын

@@TorqueSteer agree with keeping the mudflaps but maybe the actual genuine Alfa ones might be better?

@KeithJD 4 ай бұрын

The back looks very low. Is the springs broke?

@TorqueSteer 4 ай бұрын

Shocks seem to have gone. The back right started to sag and now I've noticed the left. Springs are still good. After the detail, I'm gonna tackle the mechanical jobs.

i feel really sorry for you luke, you jacked in your full time job to concentrate on this channel, and it just seems to have died.................21 comments on your last vid 😯😯, i like your channel, but don`t understand why it seems stagnant, any ideas ?

@johng7304 4 ай бұрын

And 15 of those comments were about people having a go at me. Turns out I’m more popular than Luke. Who knew? Think I might start my own channel up. I can’t do any worse. First, I’ll have to give up my well paid job. Obviously makes sense.
