BroImSoHGood Here in Europe we have a love/hate relation with Alfa´s cars. You love them or hate them. This Brera model has good engine of course and they are cheaps in second hand market.
I have the same car in diesel, 210HP, gold. Never had any issues with it, you have to look after the manifolds and NOT follow the Alfa Romeo maintenance guide, they are italian after all... Some plastic parts of the car are a little too fragile, some are cheap some aren't ... The biggest issue with it, parts are rare (except engine, it shares the same engine as any alfa), it's as heavy as a BMW 5-series, it's not the best sports car ever, it's at least a 8 year old car. I think the car in the video is an Italian independant model, it's an UK only limited edition, if you want to import this car, you should import the Brera 1.75 Turbo, this model will not depreciate as much as the others and it's the most reliable, smallest engine made by alfa. Good luck !
This is insane! In a positive way of course... :) My family and friends call me a lunatic just for keeping my Alfa relatively clean by washing it once a week, but this is just another level. Beautiful car, and the right way of owning it.
i dont care if the brera is underpowered, too heavy, too much understeer, slow...i would buy one in a heartbeat...imo it´s the best looking car ever produced..gorgeous
@@1974gladiateur of course we can use engine hp anywhere even on a small road.. hp are not only for top speed on autobahn.. its how fast it will accelerate, how the g force and adrenaline you will get..
My brother, I was like you in my younger years about cars, especially about my all black VW Jetta. But as I aged, l realized that all cars will rust and end up in the hands of someone else after lm dead and gone. So now, l fully enjoy driving all my cars....nicks' dings dents and all. Onward soldier!
Absolutely incredible video! This is hands down THE BEST in depth detail on CZcams, period! Sandro, you have really outdone yourself here! Incredible my friend, absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing your gift with the world to see and learn! Wow!
Sandro, now that's what I call a detail,detail.....you spent as much time taking off all the trims , lights etc...than some places say they can do a detail in....yes like you say these videos are long but they show so much information, thanks for posting, regards rich.
You definitely take testing to the next level. Finding what works can be a real pain sometimes. This is a hard thing to explain to customers when they want a "quick ceramic job" great video
Big Mario you are not serious arguing Alfa’s are good cars you really haven’t a chance or a clue but that shouldn’t stop you from liking them and your detail job is amazing well done
I also have a golden Brera but a 2.4, I drive it daily and has quite a lot of love marks mostly due to the bad potholes we have here. I have often been approached by people, even Porshe/AMG/M owners and it's a nice discussion starter. There has only been 23000 breras made worldwide after all !
An absolute masterpiece work of art you did Sandro, amazing. As always, thank you for putting this up for us, very generous of you, all together I’m sure it must have taken a hell of a lot of time!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec.
I remember when i firat found out about this car. It was in need for speed carbon. Being a American ive never seen or heard of this car and it being a older game i could not aporeciate the beauty of this car. And as it wasnt in many more games i forgot about it. And after watching this video this car is BEAUTIFUL!
Wow, I watched the whole video non stop while my wife was snoring. It’s the only time I get peace n quiet here. U really did an amazing job on a sweet car. Was interesting to see how far u took this detail n correction to another level. Many of the thoughts that U spoke out loud I have myself so it was nice to be on the same page with you. I don’t always have someone who I can speak with about detailing. Most people don’t understand or are unwilling to listen to different ways of doing things. I really appreciate you putting this video together as it’s not always easy to put your work out there in the public so clearly. Many people have no idea what it takes to put your heart n soul in front of the camera. By far, one of the best full blown from start to finish detailing videos out to date. Thank you
Next level, bro. Be proud of yourself. Very few can match your skills and passion. And this is coming from a man who never pays compliments to another man hahaaaaaaaa...... But when I do, I mean it. You really are next level.
I love the fact you said that you can’t always control what other people do to your car. I feel the same way about mine. I hate when a scratch or dent appears but a daily driver car will always take a beating
WOW!!! Stunning work Sandro! The music you were playing at the end of your video says it all "Next Level". Your Brera has to be the best lookin' example in Australia.
Sir, I very rarely comment of videos at all, but that has absolutely captivated me. Your intricacy and attention to every micro detail are a marvel and true joy to watch. You clearly love your craft and that shows. I love looking after my car, I just wish I had the equipment at your disposal to achieve a finish like that! Well done sir
If no one has said this to you mate, I do appreciate all the hard work and time you put in making this video. PS. And knowing now that you're a true petrol head (Alfa Owner) I like your work even more.
You have good tires. I love my Continental tires. I have winter Continental Tires in Canada and they are the best tires I ever had in my 30 years of driving.
She’s a beauty. Black, one of the hardest colours to detail imo. If only my 16 year old Alfa 156 GTA paint was as good as this. My level of detailing is a foam wash and then a quick detail with poorboys natte red paste. Does a good job though for £25.
Loving all of your vids. The meticulous and masterful craftsmanship you put into the detailing, as well as the editing, are second to none. I find myself watching video after video in my spare time just to try to engrave some of your work ethic in myself as I venture into auto detailing. One question though, what did you spray in the blowout bucket? I saw a similar question in the comments but couldn’t see your response for some reason. Keep up the great work and I look forward to every time you post a vid!!
That’s really great great to hear and I hope the videos help! I just spray water in the blowout bucket to catch the dust particles. About a year ago my CZcams channel was hi-jacked by hackers so that’s the reason that most of my old comments/responses have been deleted … unfortunately!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Sorry to hear that happened to your channel. I’m extremely appreciative that you got it back and got everything resolved! That makes so much sense. Here I was trying to use the same bucket method but noticeably stirring up the dislodged particles every time I went to blow out a pad. The water is so simple, yet ingenious. Game changer!! Thanks for responding so promptly. Still scouring the archives so I’m sure this won’t be the last bit of advice. Cheers.
“it lives outside in the harsh Australian elements”, count yourself fortunate, myself and my black car and its soft paint live in Iceland 🇮🇸 The winter is so harsh that it’s impossible to keep the car clean for over 24hrs, I just use traffic film remover and a hose to get most of the road salt and chemicals off without contact until spring
Guarantee it rained the next day Haha. No, great job mate. Literally the same day I got my black car back from being repainted some a-hole dinged it in the carpark. Even though it was a mirror like finish so they may not have seen it I'm convinced it wasn't an accident. I've got a soft spot for Alfa's as Dad was the president of our local Alfa club for years (So he knows some good mechanics:), my heart want's a 159 or Brera 3.2 Q4 but my brain is telling me 2.2 or 1.8 turbo (not diesel, ever) Anyway, love your work mate
I love your outlook on things, particularly your daily driver. It has taken me awhile to reach that same conclusion. Cheers, the quality content coming!
This Brera is one beautiful automobile. Even though a 2007 model, it looks totally modern in 2021. I wish Alfa Romeo would bring this model back and bring it to the United States now that they are back in the USA. The Stelvio and Giulia are doing very well in the USA and the recommissioned and updated Brera would probably do just as well!
What an awesome video! I honestly haven’t watched a video this good in a long time. The attention to detail you took, while still being realistic (in terms of not removing too much clear) was great to see. Can’t wait for a shop tour - looks like an awesome setup. Super informative, thank you for taking all the time to share with us! And did I mention how good the car looks!
Sandro what I was waiting for. I must say the time and consideration you put in your work is amazing. Missing few bits and pieces here and there are very common but you are just spot on. As always keep doing what you do the best mate. Love and wishes from Adelaide.
What a beautiful car. I was gonna get one but here in the UK, the tax class is very high and fuel isn't cheap. Instead I got a mean looking Giulietta multiair 170.
Hello there, great video, the first I watch from your channel. Your work is great and it shows from the result as well as from the way you handle your tools and products! As an Alfista, I have to commend you for the way you care about your Alfa. Although the Brera is one of my least favourite Alfas, it is still a very good car. Keep having fun! Great job!
Solid job man, makes me miss my old black pearl wrx. I went with white pearl this go around but nothing beats a properly sorted black paint job. Shine on
The front end on that car looks fan-fucking-tastic. Awesome video. I've never messed with coatings, but every time i watch one of your videos I always think about scooping up some Cquartz UK and seein what the coaing life is like.
Having driven a Squadra tuned Brera 1750 TBI myself for about 140.000 km, I Always get a bit annoyed when reading comments about "too heavy" and "underpowered". Has anyone actualy driven the car, or is it just hearsay? Too heavy really only applies to early the 3.2 JTS Q4. The 1750 TBI was just over 1400 kg which by no means is too heavy and with 235 horsepower (200 as standard) it has more than enough power to enjoy the nearby Ardennes (Belgium) or Eifel (Germany). It's real fun to drive and absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Quality is great as well. Mine saw the dealership only for scheduled maintenance during the 140.000 km, making it one of the most reliable cars and the most reliable Alfa I have driven. Only drawback with the 1750 TBI was the exhaust sound, which was way too modest.
Beautiful job man....you have it looking absolutely amazing...great work...I've the same car in the 2.4 model which is mapped up to 250+ bhp with the 19" pro drives and b16 suspension set up. A lot of fun and goes liked a slapped rat with this set up and I love it. I've had a lot of different performances cars and this is my favourite as nothing on the road looks quite like it...must try what you have done here to get it looking it's best 👍
As an American, ive never seen this car. I now am looking into importing one.
BroImSoHGood Here in Europe we have a love/hate relation with Alfa´s cars. You love them or hate them. This Brera model has good engine of course and they are cheaps in second hand market.
BroImSoHGood don’t do it they are simply terrible
I don't think you can because it's never been sold in the US
I have the same car in diesel, 210HP, gold.

Most beautiful car ever made. That thing is an art of its own. A garage queen worthy.
i dont care if the brera is underpowered, too heavy, too much understeer, slow...i would buy one in a heartbeat...imo it´s the best looking car ever produced..gorgeous
I agree!
pohmakas33 Can we fully use a 400hp anywhere in the world except for the autobahn Germany?
Looks kinda like a Bugatti a bit
I don't know, really... my v6 q4 one does 6,4s 0-100km/h and the 4x4 fixes the understeer problem.
@@1974gladiateur of course we can use engine hp anywhere even on a small road.. hp are not only for top speed on autobahn.. its how fast it will accelerate, how the g force and adrenaline you will get..
Came for the Brera, stayed for the detail. Watched it all the way through, what a truly beautiful car you have.
Giugiaro design never fail
My brother, I was like you in my younger years about cars, especially about my all black VW Jetta. But as I aged, l realized that all cars will rust and end up in the hands of someone else after lm dead and gone. So now, l fully enjoy driving all my cars....nicks' dings dents and all.

Quest'auto è bellissima. Guardando Giulia e Stelvio si capisce che Alfa ha ancora da insegnare al mondo come si disegna un auto. 👍💪
Absolutely incredible video! This is hands down THE BEST in depth detail on CZcams, period! Sandro, you have really outdone yourself here! Incredible my friend, absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing your gift with the world to see and learn! Wow!
I'm 20 mins in.. And boy I wish I could function at your level of perfection someday. Truly impressive mate.
The best Detailer i have watched working, you are the boss, only White Details in the uk can stand side by side with you FANTASTIC
Sandro, now that's what I call a detail,detail.....you spent as much time taking off all the trims , lights etc...than some places say they can do a detail in....yes like you say these videos are long but they show so much information, thanks for posting, regards rich.
You definitely take testing to the next level. Finding what works can be a real pain sometimes. This is a hard thing to explain to customers when they want a "quick ceramic job" great video
It's always more fun when you do your own car. It is definite next level, very beautiful.
wow the light reflexion is insane on this brera
Im shocked a detailer bought a black car
04dram04 I’m shocked he brought a Alfa
@@jameswaugh1134 wtf ... Alfa and Mercedes were rivals when BMW was making planes. Alfa was one of the most beautiful like Mercedes, Bugatti, etc.
Big Mario you are not serious arguing Alfa’s are good cars you really haven’t a chance or a clue but that shouldn’t stop you from liking them and your detail job is amazing well done
Big Mario WAS one of the greats a very very long time ago
it's because that is the only color this car looks good in
You are the worlds top detailing genius. Thank you.
I also have a golden Brera but a 2.4, I drive it daily and has quite a lot of love marks mostly due to the bad potholes we have here.

I finally got around to watching this video and wasn't disappointed! Fantastic job Sandro. Attention to detail and passion rolled into one 👍
Detailing my Brera makes me appreciate the design more and more every time l do it.
I wish we did my Brera!
Incredible art.
1:43 I'm glad to hear others say this. Sometimes I beat myself up trying to keep my car looking new.
so,what is the right word: Passion or Obsession?!?!?!? Excellent job. Respect!
I love these longs videos Sandro! I just watch this quitely after work with a fresh beer, so relaxing!

You have good tires. I love my Continental tires. I have winter Continental Tires in Canada and they are the best tires I ever had in my 30 years of driving.
This video is truly mesmerising! What a talent you have Sandro, by far the best detailer to share his expertise over CZcams.
Absolutely amazing!
Professionals like you makes me closer to work and open my own business in this industry.
Keep it up and waiting for more videos !
Great video Sandro your car looks great your shop is really looking great to you will have give tour when finished
The interior color is so so beautiful. Really want one in Thailand :(
As a pro's detailer car it's impose to be perfect & sure it is inside out! Nice outside & inside coloring loved the triple 8 on the licence plate!

Amazing job, and a beautiful result.
Good work, awesome!
Fantastic work! I can say you're knowledge is awesome! Learning a lot
exceptional video thank you. My wish is that someday i have the time to do this level of detailing on my car
