    Unfortunately just about everyone that washes a car now calls themselves a “detailer” what I notice with most of these people is they don’t understand that a detailer is someone that has the ability to clean/correct the finer details..

      If you are an aspiring detailer ,don't follow anything from Craig's channel. I mean no disrespect ,but this guy is a car washer. So, you are going to wire brush the spare tire well ,yet not wet sand the dead clear off ,and bring back the paint? I really don't mean to troll ,but you are spraying tire shine on the spare tire ,and paining the spare well. I feel like i am being trolled

    I have a Detailing business in VT, I would recommend not using silicone based products for engine dressing, not good on electronics and attracts dust. The best product out there is stoner Trim Shine, leaves a non greasy, natural satin finish and doesn’t attract dust, been using it for years with no problems

    Kinda sad that some of these comments are shaming Devin. Devin is doing an AMAZING job as a beginner detailer. YALL just need to eat your wheaties and let him work cuz. I’ve seen experienced detailers do a HORRIBLE job. Devin’s got the drive and the right mindset going into these projects. Give the man more credit. He deserves it. Good job, DETAILER DEVIN!

    • @robsdeviceunknown

      Yeah so far, I really like the young man. Now, we know working for someone like Flying Wheels is just a stepping stone. It's not a career position, it's just the nature of the beast, just like the people who work for me. So I hope he learns all he can, hones his skill and seeks either a high end organization or expands on his own eventually. But no matter how much crap we give Craig, he is very experienced in this stuff and makes for a great mentor.

    • @jamesmyers9285

    after watching the whole video, i stand behind my comment. You just compounded/polished dead clearcoat ,sanded the spare well ,put tire dressing on a spacesaver

    • @LaSouthernGemini
      @LaSouthernGemini Před 2 měsíci

      I see your point, but I understand why it was done. After polishing, it did look better and likely felt better also. Cleaning the spare well shows attention to areas most would ignore. Nothing wrong with taking 5 minutes to prep a spacesaver. It did take twice as long, or more, b/c of the camera work but it adds content.

    My SC400 engine lost a rod bearing at 112k. Was the worst Lexus I have owned. My GX470 now has 387k miles, reliable. My SC430 went 176k, no issues. My SC300 went 98k miles needing an egr valve only and a weird torque converter slip issue. Lexus’s are also well known to have low grade leather which never lasts.
