The 53-year-old, who owns Car Fresh Valeting, first started cleaning signs about six years ago. If he spots a dirty one, he just stops his van and cleans it.
He said: “It probably costs me very little, and doesn't take a great lot of time. It’s a positive thing to do. But the response has been crazy.
"As for the popularity of my videos, I really cannot believe it. It's literally people from all over the world and it's morning noon and night.
