UPDATE:1 year and still cranks within the first 2-3 pulls. Probably will buy another when this one finally does bite the dust kzread.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX . No issues at all. Very happy with it.UPDATE: After 6 months of use and over 70 uses I would still highly recommend this pressure washer. It does vibrate a decent amount but never had it “walk” like others have mentioned. No oil leaks, still seems to run like the day I bought it. Still cranks within 2-3 pulls every time. Very happy with my purchase!Have used it about a dozen times now. Plenty of power, cranks up on 1-2 pulls every time. My only complaint would be I wish it was a little taller to make it easier to walk with it (hits my ankles a lot) and that the two hose connections were a little further apart but it hasn’t caused me any issues. Seems to run a good 1-1/2-2 hrs on a full tank, overall a well built machine and definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Whoever imagined a detailing video could be so compelling? 51 minutes of amazing.

Wow, the finish is sick . And the whole video was like encyclopedia ...

I love how each of these videos are like an Australian documentary.

Great job Sandro 👏👏👏

Awesome results. The car didn't look that good when the customer picked it up new from the dealership.

Wow man amazing results! Also I'm just astounded at the amount of different pads and products you test out, as well as how much trouble it took to find a combo that would work well on that paint. This video would be good to show someone who doesn't understand why detailing like this costs so much - because of the amount of work that goes into it.

Holy Wow! Yep that's one mighty fine detailing job Sandro! The car looks like someone poured melted licorice all over it. Awesome! As always your video was very informative. Lots of great info!

Your video notification was at the top of my tube channel stating 51.51 minutes. Then spent 15 minutes deliberated whether to be late or not. Decided to wait till I got home that evening then spent the entire day constantly thinking what would be in / I would learn or in many cases totally agreed on. You didn’t disappoint great great great..... I still love the rupes yellow and blue wool pads and Decided to put up with there poor durability.just because of the fantastic results and rotation.

I've just got my BMW M4 and was so excited to drive it. After taking it out on the road for 3-4 months, I was truly disappointed by the amount of contaminants and minor scratches on the car. Finally decided to get 9 layers of ceramic coating on the car and move it into my house. The entire car from engine to exhaust was disassembled and assembled back inside my house LOL. Now, it will never get dirty and my OCD is kept at bay

What an incredible transformation! Great video. That Focus looked like one mean machine when you were done with it. Loved seeing you try different combinations. Also the music that went with this video was amazing. I was thinking to myself that you might use Scholl Concepts S40 but goes to show your experience.

A very good test with a great finish obtained by the correct choice of tools. Very interesting and informative. I use this to select mechines etc. Thanks.

as always grate vid I have loved the testing you having been showing also why you are picking the combos you have. Your vids have made me a better detailer when it comes to paint correction and for that I thank you

fantastic looking !

Awesome video mate, you really do cover alot through the detail. One of the best videos ive seen so far on pad selection/polish selection. 👍🏼👍🏼

I love these long videos. Great work. What do you use to chock the doors and hatch back ajar while you polish them? Thanks.

best video for prepping my first paint correction ever! im confused with the tape lines on the paint after removing to check work , but now its undone an an awkward position to do againg? ?

First!! Keep it going Sandro! Well done 😀

Hi Sandro, Really love this video, great work (y), just a question if you mind me, what is the secret of the small whiteboard ? Does it help you to determine the cost of products you use in each single detail job?

Love your work mate.... I have been washing my golf GTi the same way as you for 3 yrs now with no swirls or holograms since coating with cquartz UK back then. What is that tyre cleaner.... it would be perfect for me to strip silicons etc before repaints.Keep up the awesome work mate...Stu

Another *_stunning_* result, Sandro! 😎 Quick question ... why did you opt for S30+ for the finishing step, rather than S40 (I realize this video is a few years old, so the latter may not have been on market)? As always, thanks for _everything_ you do for us!! 🍻

Thanks and it basically came down what the paint responded best to. In many cases super fine polishes don’t always finish better than standard fine polishes so you really have to go with the results you see in person.

Good job mate!

Nice work very Professional so which pad combo you use on this one??

fantastic video once again......few questions : Can i mix immolube with iron remover to match purify? i dont think we have smthing similar here in europe, have you tested anything similar? whats your thoughts on the more intermidiate-aggresive foam pads from shinemate diamond series? like blue and orange and yellow cant express enough how helpful your videos -explanations are from the start of this channel. the quality is getting better and better!!

Dude, you're a craftsman and an artist! This result is spectacular!!! Thanks for the inspiration.

Love your videos. They help a lot my car looks great . I just have one question. If I polish my car and run out off time to wax it can I wax it the next day thanks

Hi Sandro, I really appreciate your work and these's videos inspire me! I've only polished a few cars but I want to eventually be a self employed detailer with an artistic touch like yourself! I'm only puzzled why I haven't seen you using Optimum compound, intensive or hyper polishes? Seems like they are big time savers and produce good results. Also it seems like your not using much from Meguiars either? These are all I have so far and I'm trying to learn how to use them but your videos make me want to try the last cut, jess car and scholls, plus other products. Again thank you, your videos are so helpful I wish I lived in Australia I'd apply to be your assistant!

This is a great video man! I have that exact car that has been lacking in the upkeep department and I’m wanting to do this to mine. I may have missed it in the video, but what combination of pad and compound did you use for the cutting? I’m definitely subscribing for more information as I’m wanting to keep the car detailed once I get it corrected. Thanks for the info!

Thx again for a good vid, now I got to see the whole vid in its intire lenth. I am not going to go to the lenths you are, but it still helps a lot. Its a freaking jungle out there.

The wool pad is amazing on soft paint because it allows more air to help cool the paint.

Wow... U have a new subscriber cause of that video!! Question how long did the long car take from start to finish??

Awesome video as always Sandro! Thank you. Most iron removers smell terrible. How is the odor when working with the Purify Clay Lubricant? Do you find it bothersome or no issue?

These guides you do have been super helpful for me. Thanks for all the effort you put in with them!

Awesome job man. How much do you guys charge for full correction and protection?

Hi Sandos very good vlog I meant to ask you last time about getting polish residue off plastic. It was my fault accidentally got some on the lower back bumper and now I have this annoying whitish powder stain near the exhaust. What would you recommend to get it off, I would really appreciate it thanks John PS that glass coating certainly made a difference you could see that very deep black, beautiful! One more thing Sandos after doing a detail such as this one what happens when you wash it next, I take it that you wouldn't go though the procedures that you have just done, so what would you recommend after this detail for say a weekly wash?

Hi Sandro. Great video. Thank you. One question: I noticed that you have a white board behind you that you appear to be using as you proceed through the detailing process. Do you use this as a means of tracking your test panel compound/pad combinations, or simply the products and products (all consumables) used throughout the entire process? As well, do you document/ ‘archive’ this data for future reference? Thanks. - Brian

Awesome professionalism and workmanship! Great video presentation. I will never own a black car...sheesh

Looks awesome Sandro I would to answer coating question. Don't look at time for wipe down know how the products flashes some give a rainbow affect or oilsick determined what products look like when it flash every climate is different but regardless the product flash the same just different time according to climate affects how fast it flash so recognise how the products look like when it flash the manufacturer of coating what. look like when flash this aide you know when to wipe down great video Sandro

Sandro, How do you know which cars have soft or hard paint ?I hear this by detailers often , can you explain to us? Thanks your videos are top notch!

I had a chance to strictly test some products on a repainted hood this weekend. Paint was medium hardness. One thing that stood out to me, S20 Black has always finished well for me on foam pads, so I decided to try it on a MF pad. Holy cow, it looked like I used a rotary, heavy compound, and wool pad! Finished terrible! The same MF pad and a *heavier cutting compound* finished much better!! As you stated, not all polishes work well with all pads. This was a very interesting outcome on this particular paint. Thanks for all your guidance, Sandro.

Sandro, makes sense as Scholl doesn’t even sell MF pads, but they do work great with foam. S20 Black, S30+, and S40 are some of my favorite polishes with foam pads.

Hi Sandro, Great video! I'm doing my first car detail and I found that I needed a medium compound to remove the swirls/marks on my car. I also have fine and ultra fine polishes. Is it a best practice to go from medium, then fine and then ultra fine or is it ok to jump over the fine and go straight to ultra fine?

Hi Sandro, love your video. Just curious what pressure washer you use?

For small area infront of headlight did u do it by hand or ibird? And thanks for the great video i didnt feel the time at all.

I’ve often wondered how to navigate the sunscreen wiper jets. Tape them, go around, avoid. I like your approach - just roll over. Do they sometimes accumulate compound? Not hard to manually extract though. Nice work in the vids, and great to see a Melbournian show off his skills.

I love cars with the wiper jets hidden under the hood/bonnet rear edge. My wife's car and my car are both that way, no jets on the hood at all!

Sandro thank you so much for sharing these tips. I do have one question. I think after detailing for 3 days straight on my vehicle I may have rushed one part, namely the application of Gyeon Pure. I left the car over night in my garage for about 10-10.5 hours and then applied Gyeon cure. It was a little grabby and difficult to move my microfiber cloth around. I read that I needed to wait 24 hours to apply cure. After that I left my car in the garage for an additional 24 hours before checking the surface again, it was now extremely smooth. Is there going to be a bonding issue in my case? I still have half a bottle and my machine polisher. Do you recommend I lightly polish and reapply? Thanks for your tips hopefully I’ll detail with a fresher mind next time!

Car Craft Auto Detailing thank you for the advice. I was getting a little nervous but I’ll reapply cure in a weeks time. I’m new to the coating world and with this being so thick I kinda expected a grabby wipe off. Your cars always come out exceptional. Amazing work!

Deeply impressed! I cannot find the nova products here in the Netherlands, nor on Amazon US, probably not sold outside Australia?

Sandro, Where does Megs D300 fall into these products in regards to finish and how fine or coarse it is compared to these products?

Great work as always, though a bit too technical for me and beyond the range of my knowledge. Example: How can I tell the difference between swirls, haze, marring and holograms?

Hi Sandro, I picked up a few Rupes yellow wool pads. Using them on my 12, 15, and 21mm, they had a lot of wobble compared to MF pads. The 3" yellow wool on my 12mm mini was much smoother.

Sandro Mate maybe you should say thank you for the client for allowing his/her car to be put on u tube as well. :)

I plan on doing my first correction to my fiesta during spring, and my paint is in similar condition to this focus. Would you recommend I go with s20 black with a blue spider pad or a shine mate red foam pad?

U are the Best wheel and tire cleaner I have ever seen! I’ve been doing this a while now and I’m very impressed with your techniques and procedures. Well done

Hey Sandro, I was just wondering how you would typically dry a car. I used the Tempest JR towel and it left some minor streaking and did not dry completely. Should I go over the car with another cloth like the Jetstream (I also have one of those) primed with reload/ech2o and buff with a third cloth? Also, how many cloths should I use for drying and what purposes would you use each for? Thanks

Hey Sandro, when finishing a black car like this one would you recommend using the ultra soft grey Shinemate pad, or do you think the red shinemate you’re using is enough? I have a black VF clubbie, and was torn between both those pads as my finishing pad. I was more leaning toward the red, just as a follow up step if there’s any hazing or defects left behind by my initial defect removal polishing step. Thanks mate, car looks phenomenal!

I've gone back to this video about 10 times. There's such useful information. One question, on soft black paint, I've experienced towel marring when using carpro eraser and gyeon prep to inspect the true finish. I use high quality MF towels. Does Clarity provide good lubrication? Soft black paint is the most challenging for me. Way more than hard paint.

Hi Sandro, I just wanted to know the steps for a typical decontamination wash and products used? (Is it ok if you could also tell me the Carpro and Concours side too) Thank you

When doing these paint corrections, how much of the top coat are you taking off ? You initially got readings of around 130....what was the finished readings ?

Hey Sandro is that your 944? I saw it there when I picked up some stuff a couple of years ago. Good car those 944's, under appreciated really.
