Whats the price tag? Was thinking about doing it on my s2000. Thanks
This was about 5k for correction and PPF and ceramic coating. Another 5k for respray and fender work. If your car was in better condition probably get away with just 3k for correction and Ceramic.
@@savagegeese holy hell that's a lot of money for correction and PPF on such a small car.
@@sdlausen1 paint condition was very poor. They had to wet sand almost the whole car. This was worst case. Plus the repaint, was bad.
PPF ain’t cheap I got quoted like 2-3 for full 3M. Ended up doing front end.
@@bleebleblahble8833 same for me man just did a full front instead
Geese, buddy, everything OK? I don't see one piece of Patagonia gear. You feeling alright?
😂😂😂
:D:D:D:D
Thats funny because we were buying a new vehicle a few weeks ago and the wife asked "well what did the Patagonia guy think about this one?"
@@petkokrushev3840 I'm so old I remember when people communicated with words.
Had to sell it to afford this detail
The predator meme at :34 made my day 💪💪🤝
them geese can flex!
If it bleeds, we can detail it.
Arni approves!
The most important part of paint correction is learning to live with some defects that are deep into the clearcoat. If you compound them all out, your clearcoat will be too thin, and could fail.
I subscribed to SavageGeese and now I'm inspired to do full paint correction on my wife's Daewoo Nubira.
I’m amazed to hear that there’s even any Daewoo Nubiras still on the road.
I believe the Daewoo car company no longer exists even in Korea for over decades. Kudos for keeping old souls
I just did a $15,000 paint correction on my '96 ford escrot

Left: blown engine
Right: blown wallet
Middle: love for cars
Wait I've only just noticed that Goose is secretly ripped
I have done this type of work since the late 70's, it is an incredibly hard and extremely tedious job to do. I have a huge respect for those who do this to make a living day after day!!
Great video, Mark! As someone who has spent days and days polishing and correcting paint in the past, its nice to see this skill getting some more attention. It's extremely time consuming and labor intensive, but man, the results speak for themselves.
*Me standing around with my $20 MeGuires clay bar kit, bottle of turtle wax and paper towels*
_Ahhh, yes. I too have swirls on my performance oriented vehicle_
Really appreciate the content. This was explained really well and was super interesting, end result was great. Thanks guys!
30 hours of labor. I want to see that bill.
Exactly.
Yes - that sounds like $5k for paint!
He gets a big discount for the free advertising video... maybe no cost ?
30 hours is a typical light to medium paint correction labour. If it's really bad, it can take 50-60 hours. Important to remember - this doesn't mean the car stays there for that amount of time. The labour cost is split between all people working on the car simultaneously. So, for example, one guy does 5 hours, another 10 and another 15, well, then combined it's 30 hours, but done in 15 hours.
@@AcuraAddicted Of course, but you still get billed 5-6k$. How much does a respray cost?
The beauty of this channel is attention to detail and pursuit of a high quality product. I can see why you partner with these guys at Chicago Auto Pros. Impressive & inspiring work!
"The ass end is like 16 years old and abused"
Well I do not see how that could be misquoted in any way.
Fantastic. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
I picked up my new car exactly one week ago and took it directly to the ceramic coating! Very happy with it.
So happy to see Jason and the guys from Chicago Pros!! Great to see you guys here on Mark's channel. I knew that the S2000 was in great hands 👌. You guys do a phenomenal job year round 👏!! And Mark, keep doing what you're doing 👏!!
Fantastic video, as always! Thank you!
i freakin love it! another S2k video and great job on going into detail for paint correction!
Your videos are seriously high quality, so collaborating a bit with Chicago Auto Pros seems reasonable (they seem to also do things properly. I've watched too many of their videos already, there's just something about watching tasks being done properly).
The merch and donation to suicide prevention is a wonderful thing, Mark. Yet another reason to enjoy your work. Look forward to watching more of your stuff! (this video was good, and the S2000 looked seriously sharp after the paint correction)
The Savage Geese Premium T-shirt is truly premium.
I'm gonna buy one in piano black trim
Absolutely can’t wait to get mine filled with plasti-chrome. Super excited with 23” rims on the shirt too.
@@307skylake7 chrome spinners I hope
Jason from Chicago Auto Pros is a top-shelf guy. I bought some detailing supplies from them and he sent me a personalized thank you note. You chose wisely and your car looks great.
Dude is not a paint guy, he is a ARTIST.
The bill is 12,000 dollars, he is a crook.
Great video Mark, very informative. A proper investment sometimes requires proper protection, and your personal satisfaction/happiness is priceless.
Will definitely keep this in mind when I get a new car 👌
I love the fact that that you are doing other things than just test drives.
0:36 is truly amazing, you are the best! Love your humor
12 Minutes I'm pretty sure this is a short video for Savagegeese! Honestly I really enjoy polishing/compounding my car, it is a lot of work but
when you are done and the car just shines its a great feeling.
Great video, glad to see new video tricks)
Think the best idea is to do the ceramic coating on a car brand new and then stick to a touchless wash every week at least. Thanks for highlighting this, definitely learnt a lot.
Finally, a car reviewer who doesn't review cars. For that I subscribed
Variety is the spice of life!
Magic. I’d love to get this done. 🤘
I gave up trying to keep my car nice a long time ago. It's just too stressful, expensive and time consuming. Plus there are too many idiots on the road hauling rocks on the highway with open truck beds, people hitting your car with shopping baskets or dinging with their doors. Forget about it.
Get that. Not to forget the clowns stealing emblems. In Canada, BMW emblems are gone in a blink of an eye.
It is stressful. Very. I haven’t given up yet but I feel it coming.
The music coming in at 8:10, perfect
I have done this myself on all my vehicles including my boat. It is a long process but is well worth the time and investment into the tools required.
How long does it usually take?
Thank you Jason! Thanks for doing this!
(darn 30hrs man labor = well over 3k wow w/out materials)
The final product was amazing!!!
I really enjoy these detailing videos but..... when are we getting another live stream where you and Jack go through an Arby's drive-thru.
Secondary detail: thanks for keeping the music just to the montages.
Also, looks damn good. The results speak for themselves.
I'm not a pro but yes. It took me two 8 hour sessions to get my 2013 Honda fit cut and and buffed and polished back up. Worth it though. It's a good way to bring an older car back to its glory days and with thst and the headlamps surefire way to make money in flips
I need to do this for my GPW. This is exactly how I wanna do. PPF front end and ceramic coat the rest.
This is the quality I come here for!
Looks fantastic!
Looks beautiful afterwards. I hear that S2000s are increasing in value, so this should definitely pay off in the long run financially. We had our new Odyssey protected with PPF on the front and ceramic coated entirely; we tend to keep our vehicles 10+ years, so want to keep it looking fresher over the long term. Plus it adds peace of mind while traveling on highway and in between washes. Just my .02
Well explained, a serious and costly project if you really love your car.
I'm actively waiting on a paint correction right now. It's to fix a botched attempt by a friend. Spend the money, don't cheap out. Pay nice, and pay twice. BUT OMG I'm Super Excited to see my car.
My entire paint could use correction, and maybe a new bumper
Great vid interesting info.
Looks amazing! I'm guessing no more track days for the S2000.
If I did that to my car, there is no way I would drive it. Keep it in my garage (if I had one). I would only be in it outside if I hired a towing company to have the car sit on a truck bed, riding around town at 30mph.
I’m a tow truck driver and although in know this is a joke a flatbed is 3x more likely to f up your car than just carefully driving it around besides they ppf the car it’s literally a film that completely protects your paint so driving it after this is no issue.
Love all the way from Dubai, Mr Mark and Mr Jack!
That predator reference was gold. Mark is Arnold’s doppelgänger.
Really looking forward to the modification video
A collaboration we can all agree on!
I'm tempted to drive out to Chicago to get this done. I don't know if the companies where I live will do the same quality of job.
The music definitely had me feeling like i was in gran turismo 2's menu.
Your front fender flare looks good.
Since I subscribed to savagegeese I have no life and I'm on the front foot for episode release
SavageG cinematographer should work for Chicago Auto Pros too! very nice
That S2000 is looking guuuud!
Mother Goose raising nostalgia again with his S2000. Rio Yellow, that was my colour.
Hahaha almost spat out my coffee and pop tarts at 4:07
Now I know where to go once I can afford it 😂
It's funny how big difference it is being done by professionals and myself (and probably others). I mean I think I'm pretty serious doing a 12h 2-stage polish with clay-cleaning before and isopropanol wiping after before coating with some random waxish stuff, but the result is probably 20% of a true professional using correct lighting and looking for the right stuff.
Chicago Pros YT channel is great. I've learned a lor from them.
I subscribed to SavageGeese and now I'm inspired to do full paint correction on my wife.
I’ll be using their services for PPF and ceramic coating.
Curious where you got your front bumper repainted in the Chicagoland area, looking for a reputable place.
I just leased a new Mazda CX-5 that I will buy after lease ends. I need to get the paint corrected.
After owning several black cars I can easily say I’m going with something lighter next. The black paint just doesn’t age that well.
The car that got me through college was black and I swore I would never get another. It's a pain to keep up, everything shows, and in the south, it gets baked to hell. I'm not even mentioning just how much hotter it is when you get in at the end of the day and it's been parked outside.
I’m correcting my black 96 Miata and it looks so good once I finish a panel but man can you see any and all defects very easily. So many swirls!
I said that too, but was in a place where I *had* to have an SUV for both semi-cheap and didn't handle like a tipping hazard. Got a Ford Edge but could only find black. I will say that Ford's tuxedo black is the *one* paint that doesn't look terrible with defects thanks to the massive sparkles in it
or you can simply treat it well, maybe wrap it etc
@@nolandderlugner1351 Call me crazy but I"m not going to put a 5-10k wrap/clear on an 8k car.
10:53 researching 1 meter long hot dogs huh?
Thanks to Mr. Goose my life’s ambition is to get a brand new BRZ and have these guys do their magic on it before it even gets registered.
Paint correction is the best "mod" you can do on any car.
AP2 Rio Yellow is my dream car! How many miles is on this one?
12 minutes is long?
Good video!
I spent 14 hours detailing, correcting(mostly with a hair dryer since all new Lexus have a self healing topcoat) and then coating my car the day after i bought it
Holy shit it came out flawless.
how do you make the touch up etch to the bumper?
I've been wanting to do this to my GTI but I just can't afford it :( Over the past year, I've gotten like 3-4 dings on my door from others banging it that chipped the paint off entirely. As someone with mild OCD, it hurts to see.
Since they didn’t provide pricing I will for the recent work I had done in south Florida. I got xpel PPF for the front end, ceramic coating for the whole car and wheels (2hrs per wheel), ceramic window tint, roof and mirrors in black vinyl, on a new mustang. Cost was 3700. Whole car in PPF would have been 6100. Very serious chunk of change and probably the most painful money I have spent on a car.
Agreed. Repaint and correction were around 10k
I have a 2013 Lexus GS 350. Got a paint correction and people think my car is brand spanking new. It’s definitely worth it.
I notice SG isn't subbed to Chicago Auto Pros. :o
And "Prelude", I see what you did there.
Would love to see you do a vid on the original Audi R8. You the man...my bald brethren!
Do you have any recommendations for a paint correction shop in the Atlanta, GA metro area? I know that you guys sometimes know each other ;)
i see geese , i click.
Not gonna lie I'd buy some shirts with your video titles. Like the new blazer haha.
Mark you have any tips for finding local shops on the same quality level? I'm in the Phoenix area btw
Find out who in your city works on Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. A search on enthusiast car forums often helps, since there is often a local section. See which detailer people mention taking their expensive car to. By the way, I live in a Midwestern city, and this is how I figured out which auto body shop to go to when I needed paintwork. I looked in the local sections of German car forums, and a particular shop kept getting mentioned again and again when people asked for recommendations. And no, I don't have a German car, I just wanted to take my Toyota to the best place possible. You need to find out where the people with high-end cars takes their cars. Doesn't matter if you don't have a high-end car, car paint is the same no matter your make and model.
the background music reminds me of the Gran Turismo soundtrack xD
Sir.. can you do a g8 gt & gxp reviews please.
I've always wondered why the pro say it's best to do paint correction and protectant when a car is new. I assuming that it's because it's easier for the person doing the work. And that makes sense. Does the cost change though?
I looked into the price after I bought my last car in '19. It was the same price then as it is now. What gives?
Can we see some more s2000 track onboard videos?
My FR-S had some TERRIBLE repainted panels on in when I bought it. All of these cars have shitty paint so I was just gonna deal with it, but someone hit my car while it was parked and admitted fault. The only thing that was damaged was all of the shitty panels.
Sometimes life works out, man.
You know I’m a man of leisure however I do enjoy a good paint correction or two it’s the Matt Moreman in me..
What brand paint chip kit? Dr. Beasley? Dr. Colorchip?
@9:58 that cracked me up
Why all the dislikes? You clicked on a video titled "The Painful Art of Paint Correction" and the host explained for over 12 minutes how paint correction is done. Were you not entertained?
All of the quotes I've seen for PPFing (or ceramic coating) include paint correction. I get that paint correction is required before PPFing an older car, but what about a new car? I'll be taking delivery of a new vehicle later this year - can I negotiate a discount on PPFing since paint correction wouldn't be necessary?
Shine on you crazy, S2000.😀
Even though I don’t care to do this tedious crap to my own cars, it’s just so mesmerizing to watch.
You’re just lazy
@@johnshukeireh5804 Yes.
Now do the painful art of rust repair 😂
Imagine doing all of this work, and then finding out you have rust in the fenders. Just burn the car down at that point.
How much does a paint correction, say for example the one portrayed here, cost?
