Great results as always. This has to be up there with the porsche boxter rescue

Stunning finish as always!!

can a diy detailer buy PPF film myself for lets say a ford mustard GT

I have to say non of your videos are boring far from it ( even when you are cleaning glass ). Who would have thought that watching a guy clean a car would be good ‘tv’ but it so is. 😀 🚗

Question - when you and other detailers pressure wash a car you always start from the bottom. Why? Isn’t it more logical to start from the roof so the dirt can run off…? P.S. I am a huge fan!

Beautiful car - I don't think the wheels/ rims do the car justice - could have been better alloys added since if you're gonna spend that much on a car, then get a decent set of rims...just my view on it. Great finish. Hope they managed to get some decent refurb people in Glasgow to sort the issue out. As always, a pleasure to watch and learn.

Don’t let the car rest on the jack. It will fall, especially given the hitting you had to to the wheels. Use jack stands, the jack is highly likely to roll and drop the car

Someone recently commented on another one of Jim's videos. He asked why Jim never seems happy. This video is a perfect example of the amount of headaches and land mines that running a detail shop (especially a high end shop) can produce. Jim spends a week, likely 55-70 hours, quite literally wrestling with his client's cars. Working in isolation. Laser focused on his tasks. Being in his own head. This happens often in the detailing industry. A detailer notices damage on a car and then proactively shares the information with the client. The client, either never having seen the damage (or claiming they've never seen the damage), are quick to blame the detailer as a way to have someone (other than themselves) be responsible for the repair. This is a real powder keg scenario. Which I'm sure Jim has been through. And thus, was proactive in simply eating the financial burden of the damage himself rather than debating with his client on who was at fault. Because Jim knows where this path leads. Even though he used a chemical and a process that has been proven safe time and again on OEM surfaces that haven't been repaired by outside businesses. My guess is that the cost of the refurb was a significant bite out of his profit on this Mercedes job. Gutting indeed. When you're sore and in some physical discomfort (often pain) from working that client's car all that week. Love watching these videos, Jim. You inspire for sure.

Mans an artist

Oh feck, that poor car and owner. Great to see you back Jim, still the best on CZcams.

love the behind the glass reference

Looks stunning.....great work as always.

Hi Jim, I can recommend The Wheel Specialist for refurbishing wheels. They are a franchise but have 2 locations around Glasgow and I only use them currently. Cheers, Michael.

39:03 I’ve noticed that you steam the film lightly does this promote the adhesive on it to stick to the panel better? I’m new to the ppf world and wanting to get a little insight.

Job well done as always Jim.

Stunning car specially in green and what a sound! I thoughly enjoy these videos

Do you use main dealer parts for paint touch ups? Or 3rd party?

Superbe travail bravo

Does the polishing compound not get removed with the decontamination stage?

Don't beat yourself up over the wheels... you are making it right for the owner of that beautiful pice of engineering! Excrllnc as usual, my friend!

Please can you recommend a colleague in spain who can provide same service on a par with you as i have a silver 1997 996 Boxster which i would love to fo full treatment

Excellent job and video! Thank you! 🙂 Just wondering... Isn't claying matt paint a no go? 🤔🙄

That little polisher is rotary?

Exquisite attention to detail, @WhiteDetails! How many total km on this GT R??

I had one rear refurbed alloy on eBay the same price as a diamond cut refurbishment….

Glasgow Smart Repair Centre for paint and Scuffed Refurbs in Glasgow (Hillington) for wheels. Both top tier places.

Stunning!....

Absolutely epic,Jim👍Bit of a wounder in relation to the wheels,but my hat goes off to you 👍👍👍👌

If CZcams was a meritocracy your channel would be one of the biggest on here. Great work and great presentation too. I don't know how you find the time to edit and create the content, but I do know it's not without sacrifice. Well done Jim

I just see wrapping as such a waste of time. I’d rather drive my supercar and not worry about minute stone chips

I can’t wait for your videos!

My parents owned a white 1984 GT/E Opel Manta 2L injection with the Reccaro interior and square headlights. Back in the day, it used to turn heads when we drove around in it. It was a drivers car, but not great as a rear seat passenger. We finally sold it after my dad was forced to sit in the back seat on a trip around the Lake District and got car sick. Mum was a Lake district native and drove those roads rally style! You did a fantastic job on that car. Thanks for sharing and taking me on a trip down memory lane. RIP Mum, miss you forever.

Jim is a masterclass with his work….. he PPF’d my Golf GTI and cared for my car throughout the process. If you’re thinking about booking in…. Pick up the phone 👍🏻

What about the Cartec Rapid Cut 4000?😀

5:10 out the traction control back to its position otherwise it might catch the owner out

as a novice, my does a really hot day not effect the covering,like when the guy removed this lot. even in the uk on a hot day you can not touch a cars metal work

Just shows even the best have "moments" but tbh wasn't technically your fault! As always a well put together video. Always good to watch arguably one of the best detailers on & off CZcams!! 🙂

Hi Jim, absolutely outstanding workmanship regarding the car rap system ❤it is just one of them things regards the wheels 🛞

Jim another Amazing Job as usual …. Prost 🍻 From across the Pond in Northern California. Always amazed at your attention to detail and going the extra mile for the Customer 🫡👌😁 Wish you could detail my E46 M3 from another detailer 😝 Also those wood sticks are they available on Amazon if so could shoot me the link? Thanks B

That is actually the first time i ever saw a detailer claying a matte paintjob, Holy Moly! I would have been scared to death introducing marks to the paint.

Support vehicle looking great!

that looked hard work. Lovely results

Amazing!

Great job you did there. My black car has those 'holograms' on the bonnet also. How can they be removed?

New subscriber so I must say the level and quality of work you do is exceptional and its so nice to see someone who has a great work ethic and someone who takes so much pride in their work, keep up the fab work and I am working my way through you back catalogue so many thanks for than. David

Epic attention to detail. Best in the game.

You have a lot of trust in your jack 😂 you work is impeccable 👍

I still remember you detailing the black Bentley Brooklands to absolute perfection,till now I am yet to see a better detail vid.

I had exactly the same problem when I used a trusted tar remover on my Ford Focus black factory standard wheels. When they dried the lacquer had been badly damaged leaving awful white patches all over the barrels and face. Really disappointing. Waiting to get them refurbished.

Two of the best wheel refurbishers about glasgow are wheel wizards, and 1st class alloys both in hamilton just out side glasgow, they do all the wheels for the main ,mclaren, masserati, and bentley dealers.
