When a customer tells you that their car looks like it's been resprayed, you know you've done a good job. Outstanding work, as always. By the way, the music in all of your videos is absolutely fantastic. Cheers, and have a great weekend my friend.
Really glad you enjoyed it, thanks mate.
Hey Sandro....thanks: your dedication in this work is just like a masterpiece

I had one and I still miss her. This was beautiful.
Same here, big regrets on selling that car
I have a 94 Canadian LHD currently. Love the car but got a family now. Definitely will regret it if I sell
Absolutely mindblowing. Fantastic turnaround, amazing videography.
Appreciate it mate, so nice to hear you enjoyed it!
Having a couple of alcoholic beverages after watching the Carlton/Brisbane prelim final, thinking I can nod off to sleep peacefully, now I have to stay up and watch this video. Kudos to you Sandro, you have me hook, line and sinker with your amazing content.
Haha hope it was worth stay up longer, really appreciate the support mate!
I live for these long-form videos. Beautifully done, Sandro.
Really nice to hear you enjoyed it, thanks mate
Now that it some Mighty Car Mods level of editing Sandro, that's absolutely EPIC!
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Quality craftsmanship again Sandro.
Such a amazing car.. ❤ wish I had one.. I can’t say it enough just how important a pre-treat is. Prior to physically washing and touching the panel. People think I go to far in my details well. I want The best possible clean I can achieve. With minimal damage to the vehicle as possible. Though it’s more work my results are epic. And mind blowing this is just another reason why I am set apart from others. When I say there is a 4 step cleaning process I mean it. this is how I have become 1 of the top detailers out there. Amazing work my friend.❤
What a awesome transformation. Tornador the iron remover is such a genius idea. With very effective results. Hope you and family are doing well.
Cheers
This video is another master class from the best detailing channel in YT 😮. Greetings from Monterrey, México dear MAESTRO Sandro.
Perseverance pays off. What an excellent job. Cheers!
It was worth it. Excellent as usual 👏👏👏
Well, this is the most spectacular detail video I’ve seen yet. Amazing. I’m absolutely intrigued. Great music too. You’re an absolute 👨🎨
The RX-7 looked dripping wet when it pulled out of your shop! Your work is always a treat, Sandro. Thanks for all the tips and inspiration to keep refining my detailing craft ❤
Absolutely brilliant video! And I thoroughly appreciate the commentary.
Amazing video and great job 😊
Phenomenal job Sandro
A first gen RX7 was my first car at 16! Man I loved that car, so fun to drive. I used to see them on the road on occasion, but haven’t seen one in years. I’ve owned a bunch of RX7s over the years, all three generations. I had a third gen at 17, insurance for it was $350 a month, and that was 20 years ago. Worth it.
Crazy how expensive they are now. I was buying third gens for $15k back then. First and second gens for $5k.
Excellent job like always and greate car. Thickness of paint is very lo, Essence doing good job. The result is awesome.
Great work! Some great tips!
Great job as per usual sandro love from the UK👌
Sandro, your content is part of the youtube stuff I've watched that encouraged me to actually give detailing a shot. I got the chance to do it for a few months this year with a local guy, and the last part about the human element is apt - it's a uniquely enjoyable process. We worked mostly as a mobile outfit with comparatively few hours per car, so the hardest part was adjusting my expectations from what I've seen on youtube, since you get a week to do something like this (if I understood the video right). It's just a different level of detail that you can go into.
Lovely video and all the best!
Oh okay.... you're too good... if I ever come to the isle.. it's on site. I know we'll be missing out on the vids.. but guys.. we can't let this guy continue, right? I mean... our customers have CZcams too... just think about it, that's all I'm saying. Amazing work yet again... you're a genius - 10/10 - would check fit in mirror finish.
Favorit youtube channel, you make the best videos! Keep it up♥️
Greatly appreciate that, thank you.
Such a legendary car, really deserved a ccad detail
Great production work on the video and amazing work on this stunning car, Sandro!!!!👍😎
Great transformation Sandro, pleasure to see this unfold 👑
Always good to see 1 of the greats get the treatment it rightfully deserves. Thank you for bringing a legend back to life.
It's seen a hard life. Hopefully it'll be able to be enjoyed with a bit more care now in its golden years.. 🙂
An absolutely outstanding video once again Sandro! Love when you bring out a new video and the points you make. Always very informative and powerful! Keep it up ❤
Sandro,
Once again, such a wonderful production. You have a gift (many gifts), and I hope you’re able to continue making these types of restoration productions- regardless of car.
Thank you for continuing to inspire.
So glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks as always for all the support!
Fantastic work as always Sandro!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, in a safe, touchless manner.
Man that looks good
52:00 I never thought a detailing video could hit so close to home
what an absolute dream car... i would giggle like a child the whole time working on that beauty.
always love the videos sandro.. much love from brissy
JUST a wonderful looking job Sandro works is magic again It doestn matter if its HARD clear coat MEDIUM clear coat to No clearcoar sandro always comes out triumphs Sandro you are a genius You just keep dropping bombs of information You are the carl Sagan of detailing Carl Sagan was the smartest guy on the plant I really enjoyed this one Your approach each job on there own merits and take what the car gives you to do what's best for the car as always you leave your ego at the door it's great to see keep them coming In SANDRO we TRUST
Glad you enjoyed this one Bob, was certainly a more challenging one! Thanks as always for the support mate!
incredible work as always mate. Its a joy to watch the process, Particularly on a legendary car such as this. I picked up a Toyota Mark X in Melbourne in January this year; I wish I'd had you look it over before I drove it home.
Wow that turned out great!
Fast and furious of detailing !😅
It's a piece of art.
Your work too btw
Great video. I’ve only just found this channel. Loving your content Sandro.
Thanks, so nice to hear that!
Awesome work, awesome job, awesome video, awesome attitude. God bless brother ❤
Flawless!! ❤
Thanks!
Greatly appreciate the support, thanks so much!
Bloody brilliant!!
Amazing result and upload.
Nice to hear that mate, thank you.
Really enjoyed this one. Incredibly informative in real world terms…relatable. Well done. 👍😁
Great job looks amazing
Fantastic, Sandro! Absolutely fantastic in every respect!👍👍👍 Great to see a cool car like the RX7 being worked on too.👍😎
Legendary car with a legendary detailer 🫡
Still the best farkin!!!!
🙂
Superb.❤
This is one my favourite car in the world rx7 so nice
Lots of satisfying segments in this one! Got me thinking the RX8 received a lot of hate when it launched because it was expected to compete with this, one of the greatest JDM cars of all history. Looking back though the RX8 is arguably one of the last few truely quirky and classic feeling Japanese cars to land on the US market. Might have to snag one of those someday since the RX7 is basically a rich mans car at this point.
The best 👌
I though holey shiz an hour long, there’s no way I’m watching all of that😵💫 then I played the video and actually watched the whole thing 😂😂💛
Great video but those white transitions hurt my eyes in the dark 😂
Love watching your vids bro. Your work is great. I’d love to pursue car detailing myself. The coin is good and you get satisfaction after the job is complete.
How long would a job like this take for a professional or for a person starting out?
Keep up the good work bro. Looking forward for you’re next upload.
Thanks mate and this job was the best part of a week to complete, mainly because of all the wheel, engine bay and door jamb work, but typically you’ll give your clients options where they can choose what level of work fits their budget.
In my opinion spraying iron remover willy-nilly is just costly, using it in conjunction with a perforated clay towel is the most cost effective and efficient way to decontaminate the paint. Same goes with the wheels, spraying on wheel cleaner/ iron remover is pointless if there's actual dirt on there. I'd spray a pre wash and rinse them first removing majority of the dirt, then applying the wheel cleaner so it has a better chance at working at the really stubborn brake dust.
Sandro, your work is outstanding as always! Even though I haven't had any vehicles to detail in a long while, your work is what I strive to achieve when I do.
A few question about your ceramic coating process though.
I notice you often use Erase to pre-prep the surface, but is there a difference between a surface prep spray and using a plain IPA solution?
In this video you used a pad for the wheels, however, in previous videos I've seen you using a suede cloth over a sponge and didn't know if it was preference or if each cloth/pad has it's place.
Thanks mate and a surface spray can vary depending on the brand, but something like Eraser is very similar to a home made IPA solution which is usually 1 part 100% isopropyl alcohol to 4/5 parts deionised water, but Eraser also has minor tweaks to help better lubricate and give extended work time and a nicer scent. Some older videos will have me using suede applicators on wheels but I’ve been using foam pads for years now and much prefer them for wheel coatings.
Great video and car! That spoiler ruins the look for me IMO though. It's magical to me to take an "older" vehicle and make it look brand new.
Thanks mate, and I think the owner was inline with your thinking as he put the original spoiler back on after the detail!
I commend you on your attention to detail and enjoy your videos. This was a satisfying wait until the end to see the finished product moment. However, it was a bit long winded and I found myself skipping ahead through parts of the video, eg, didn't really need to see you application of coating on every single area of the car. Keep your audience engaged but not wanting to skip ahead. I hope that made sense and comes across as constructive and not negative? I like your videos and will continue to watch and support. Cheers.
Using the tornador with all those chemicals and making it fly around alot and become very misty, does it never concern you about the effects of longterm inhalation and being absorbed on your skin on the exposed areas? Especially since being a detailer you're exposed to them significantly more than a weekend diy-er
Yes it’s a concern I try to mitigate by working in large well ventilated spaces and using PPE. But it’s not unique to detailers, if you’re a tradie in almost any capacity things like air borne saw dust, metal fibres, paint overspray, even chefs deal with baker’s lung and smoke inhalation issues not to mention any domestic/industrial cleaners as well as gardening professionals. In other words unless you have a desk job there’s almost no getting away from some airborne contamination. It doesn’t mean you don’t try and mitigate by some measure, but it’s reality of trade based work.
Great job 🏆👌🔥🔥
I still wait for a video to top the Honda NSX detail from a couple years ago.
I'm really looking forward to watching this. Btw Sandro, do you have a recommendation for a matte dressing for interior vinyl and plastics? I know you used 303 aerospace in your skyline video but in almost all the examples I've seen it leaves a bit too glossy sheen afterwards which is a bit strange since everyone says you can get a matte result
Hope you enjoy it mate, and Nv Nourish could be worth a go, it’s a purely mate finish and although it’s categorised as a leather interior quick detailer it works great on most materials and seems to last quite a while

I always love watching your videos. Its very interesting to see the chemical choices for each use. On a side note, I recently decided to pick up Maguire's hybrid ceramic wax; however when I applied it to a customers car and did a follow up wash I noticed it came out very patchy( I applied it off label as you did in your testing video). The hood came out amazing perhaps the best possible outcome I could have imagined, but when inspecting the rest of the car some parts looked like they didn't even get touched with wax. Before I applied the wax I did an iron decon, clay bar, and IPA wipe. When applying I was in a shaded area and the paint was cool. What could have gone wrong? The only possible thing I could imagine is that I applied too much in some areas. Let me know your thoughts or any suggestions. Thanks!
I appreciate that mate, thanks.
It’s hard to say for sure what the issue was, but I have noticed that sometimes after doing a thorough decon, certain sections of certain panels have varying and even weird water behaviour scattered about even though the paint looks and feels clean and bare. But after polishing that goes away leading me to believe that there was something there fused to the finish that required an abrasive to remove it. Maybe whatever is causing those inconsistencies could be related to something still remaining on the paint that rejects the sealant.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I know what you mean. I was just really hoping that it wouldn't have to come to a polish, especially when its hard to justify one to most clients. One other piece of information I have is that the hood took well to the coating, the entire drivers side was alright, nothing spectacular; and the entire passenger side looked like nothing was done to it. The order of degradation was the order of which I applied the coating, meaning I started with the hood(best area), then went to the driver side(okay area), and ended with the passenger side(worst area). I'm not sure if this is pure coincide as I maintained technique throughout application, or like you said before that the car needs to be polished. Anyways, I am very appreciative of your response Sandro, and I look forward to your future vids!
Yes absolutely, what we’d like to do and what the client is willing to pay are two different scenarios. Sealants can and do seperate at times, that could’ve been another a factor where a vigorous shake could help - but again not sure if that played a part.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I appreciate you trying to help diagnose the problem, have good one Sandro, ill be looking forward to your next video's:)
Hi Sandro, really enjoying the vids great job on the editing. I notice one thing that no one's talks about in their videos, is how much products is used to do a detail job for example how much Wise Guy, Tar X, Nv Purge and etc, did you used in this video above ? I notice in one of the videos you did on CarPro Retyre you ran out. I also notice in this video you used lots of Iron-X with the Solo 260LI Lithium Sprayer did you use 1L of iron x just for the job above? Cheers Mate
Nice to hear you enjoyed that video mate!
I honestly can’t remember the specific amounts of the specific chemicals used on that job, but I can generalise: I’d say typically wheel and tyre cleaners would be around the 250-500ml amount per car (that’s from deep decontamination, maintenance washes would be less) Tar-X goes a long way maybe using 100-200ml per job on average. Iron-X is something I use more of maybe 500ml-1L per car.
Great job, Sandro. Does the Shinemate Mini polisher have anywhere near the torque in 3” as the Rupes cordless 3”? Thanks.
Thanks and no, the Rupes has significantly torque in the cordless 3” category.
great video! but the tape off part ruined it for me. everything was quality except for the tape job... def had some wipe down lines in the rubber/trim 40:51
Is that Jared's car?😮
Yes
Great job, Sandro!
What are your tips for getting the most gloss from white paint?
Thanks and using a great finishing primer polish like Essence topped with a good ceramic coating like CQUK (as done in the video) is really fantastic at bringing that extra gloss to whites and silvers.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks. Would any ceramic coating be compatible with Essence?
Perhaps not every ceramic coating most of them I’ve tried seem to work great with Essence.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing does that include NV Evo? 🙂
Yes I’ve tried it with Nv Evo and it worked great.
Amazing work as always sandro. I want an FD rx7 so bad! Question. When you use your tornador with chemical cleaner in it, do you wear a mask or respirator? Im just imagining breathing in all the aerated chemical as youre spraying
Thanks mate and they are amazing cars!
I do wear filtration masks at times, also have a couple of powerful industrial fans at one end of the detailing bay that do a great job at expelling airborne particulates through the massive roller door at the opposite end of the bay -the shop itself is extremely large and well ventilated which helps a lot.
series 8 with enfini badges ????
Im sorry probably a frequently askef question but isnt water bad in the engine bay?
Amazing work as always, how often do you replace your towels and brushes?
Thanks and with towels once they loose their softness or become embedded/stained they are downgraded and eventually tossed out - that can vary a lot in terms of when that happens. With brushes they tend to be quite durable so it’s when they start to loose their bristles or the handle may eventually break.
shame not to have used Carpro gliss or Sic as a top coat. No top coat after the UK?
Hello, what type of gloves do you use for polishing? Nice production by the way with interesting videos 👌
Thanks and here’s a link to a video I did on the gloves: czcams.com/video/JYckJOyPk_k/video.htmlsi=aIaWfJm-mujyVwKq
@52.00 zen and the art of car detailing?
Outstanding job as always Sandro great stuff. Hey im about to give my ford falcon ute a minor detail and polish using Meguiars ultimate compound, being the first time machine polishing a vehicle just wanted to ask in your experience if Ford paint is generally pretty hard or on the softer side? Cheers mate keep it up
Thanks mate and I would say that tAussie Falcon paint is medium in its hardness, the older models where a little softer and the later models where definitely a little harder but still within that mid range typically.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks alot!
First!!!!
🥈Almost!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing 😅
Hello Sandro. As a business owner to another, do you still recommend the shine mate 5” DA battery polisher? I need a cordless machine
Absolutely, the EB351 15mm/5” is a great all round machine. If you want a bit more torque the 21mm/6” is another great option.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing appreciate it. If it survives in your business it should in mine. Thx!
You would save so much time dry ice blasting
what product for exhaust pipe
P21s polishing soap
what would something this insane cost?
Typically it’s going to be roughly $100 per hour, I can’t remember of the top of my head how many hours this one was maybe 25-30hrs.
41:45 dude, cut your nails
Your nails look must ravishing because you don’t make masterpiece detailing videos. Show some maturity unless you have a video to show us.
