Have you ever wondered why people spend thousands of dollars on a professional detail, paint correction, and ceramic coating? I have, so when the guys at Chicago Auto Pros reached out and offered to make my 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 look brand new again, I had to document the process. In this video, you are going to get a behind the scenes look at a 36-hour paint correction, detail, paintless dent removal and ceramic coating. You will learn some tips and tricks of the detail trade and even watch me attempt some of this work myself. Spoiler, I messed up a little with the ceramic coating. Grab yourself a cold pop and enjoy the show!
Big Thanks to the awesome team at Chicago Auto Pros. You guys are simply top-notch and a pleasure to work with. Check them out online using the links below or give them a call for an appointment.

@KuriaKinyanjui 6 лет назад

Question for the pros... I used to detail professionaly half a lifetime ago, so never got to use ceramic. Do you have to compound the entire car the next time it comes in to remove the ceramic and reapply? / how long till you have to reapply?

@paulaur 6 лет назад

Adverstising advertising advertising.

@mad-maxx2211 6 лет назад

Kuria Kinyanjui right? For me I don’t think it would need to be re apply for at least 4-5 years depending on how the car is kept and maintained. At this point I would just garage the Benz and cover it.

@ChicagoAutoPros 6 лет назад

Kuria Kinyanjui It would depend on how the coating is performing. If the coating is still hydrophobic and looks good there is no reason to reapply. Some coatings can last up to 10 years. If you had to remove an old coating off of your vehicle you would have to buff it off completely before reapplying. Sometimes all a ceramic coating requires to look good and perform well again is decontamination and a light polish. Every car is different!

Guys, It is a $3K job, he did not pay for it. He basically advertised for them, so it was a trade off. They called him because of his view counts and other things of course. One hand washed the other. I do feel you tho. For what we seen, I do not think it is $3K either, but I don’t know how much Modesto cost at this moment. Many people would do it for 1k, but they may not do it well and that’s the difference between building wealth and just living. Charge what your time is worth and give amazing results and it will not be a rip off.

@Bsaint 6 лет назад

LegitStreetCars I understand what you are doing, but when you are the only person mic’d or the closest person to the mic your volume becomes dominant and it’s very hard to hear someone explain with loud “umm hmmm and okays” over them talking. You might not notice as much because you were there and know what they are saying. Just a tip, you can chose to ignore it or take the criticism. Either way doesn’t bother me. At the end of the day it's your channel you can do what you want, but for a topic you don't really know much about it's nice to hear it from the horses mouth rather than 3rd party.

@nospamful 6 лет назад

Yeah, I appreciate the effort put in to make this but also, if the video is about polishing and ceramic coating of the car then why would the viewers want to see someone do it for their first time? Why didn't you show how the professionals did it first at least? Not a hater but just frustrated.

@Sahadi420 5 лет назад

find it a bit interesting how they wipe the car at 2:40. You wash from the top down. You don't wipe the front door, all the way to the bottom, and then come back to the top with the rear door. You wash a car with horizontal sections.....not vertical. 1) Roof (I include all glass as well, and the top of my trunk.) 2) The top half of the sides of the car. (starting with the doors, leave the front fender alone) 3) Hood, and I include the fenders here as well.....they're so small it takes two seconds. 4) The top half of the rear 5) The front NOW I HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. That's were a lot of the "hard stuff" is. I even have a different mitt for these two parts. 6) Bottom half of the sides 7) the bottom half of the rear

@biggabenne 5 лет назад

I agree washing top down is definitely the best way to clean anything that's in our realm of gravity... I think they didn't follow that technique since they're going to further clay, polish and detail the paint further. Still not a great excuse.

@didrikhalsoy5994 5 лет назад

That's all well and good for a normal wash, but it just doesn't apply here. What'ever tiny fractional imperfections they make due to "poor" washing, they will polish away regardless. For a normal maintenance wash where there is no treatment after, then yes. That would probably be fine, ish... Regular washing with 2 layers of coating will leave little dirt anywhere on the car, so a simple degreaser (if I'm translating correctly) or/and foam on the car will take away literally 90%, leaving your method close to obsolete. These guys clearly know what they're doing, so stop the nitpicking, seriously. So tired of everyone trying to one-up EVERYONE on EVERYTHING when it comes to detailing. Did the car look fucking awesome leaving that shop? Yes! Did they do a good job? Yes!

I had no idea what ceramic coating was to be honest. My friend mentioned that I should consider trying it out for my Audi. I found this video very interesting. I really love designer cars. this is so cool. I found a great service in Milwaukee, Wisconsin called Detail Doctors. They did an absolutely phenomenal job on my car. I am so glad I went with getting it ceramic coated, especially because this winter was the first for my ceramic coated car, and it hasn't been in better condition! THIS IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE VIDEO WOW

I've had a black Mercedes polished like this before and sadly we only see about half of how good it really looks in real life on this video. It literally amazed me when I saw it done to my car....like some kind of alien liquid that is completely smooth, perfectly black and wet looking... it's beautiful in real life! If you own a black car, you HAVE to have this done at least once!

A professional doesn't need to tape off. A newbie should, if they don't want to clean polish from trim afterwards. Taping takes how long? Cleaning a couple/few/no polish spots off trim takes how long? They should have debaged the car though.

If it really takes that long. No one with half a brain can say it's a rip off. We are not working for 5 bucks an hr. These type of specialists are gonna charge 75 up t0 150 an hr, but even I look at these as most do and say.. WTF.. 3grand? Obviously for ppl with money. 90% of the country is living pay check to paycheck or close to 90%. And how many ppl would drop 3Gs on this process even if they had it in their bank account? Paint comments are funny though. 1000 1500 for a paint job. That's is laughable. And some are talking color change. Haha. Yeah, OK. Don't think you could buy materials for that. And labor could be weeks. A week if they just focused on your car and nothing else mattered.

I agree. I only started using the decon stage in the past year. It is amazing how much cleaner the clay bar looks when this decon stage is performed immediately prior to claying, and how it seems to dramatically reduce the time/effort of the claying process. I was also surprised to learn how some new cars are absolutely covered in fallout.

Flying G550 bc the paint he has rn is good enough. Not worth getting a new paint job. Plus the paint job he has on his car is definitely more than 3k, just look at the flake in it. And if he were to get a new paint job instead of what he got, he wouldn’t have the ceramic coating, which does wonders when cleaning your car.
