The fact that you take time out of your day to show us your masterful work and then go the extra mile for your customer shows that you truly care about what you do and are undeniably passionate about it, and that is the way to live, as far as I'm concerned. Nothing but respect and appreciation from me.

Appreciate that mate!

As an 06’ C55 owner, it makes me happy to see other 55s being taken care of, in only that I could describe as “lovingly”

@SarvechAhmed Год назад

When the owner said "it exceeds my expectations" i felt that. What an amazing job. Learning from you would be a privilege.

@kylechow6072 Год назад

Free coating, what a guy! You can't learn passion like that. Every detailer knows how much it can mean when you have a great customer, this one was awesome - cheers boss.

Absolutely, try and hold onto great clients just as you should try and surround yourself with good people in your life, it makes the journey that much better.

Sandro, I didn’t wait for tomorrow’s coffee after all. And I’ve gotta say I think this episode is representative of your very best work. Not because you haven’t done more challenging vehicles, or because you haven’t done even higher levels of work…but because of the wisdom and production quality combined. Anyone who aspires to do this work only has time and money as an excuse not to achieve it. That’s because you leave no rock unturned, and are literally the best detailer/instructor on all of RU-vid. Frankly, since 2020, you’re the reason I made leaps and bounds in my own work. I don’t tell people I’ve detailed since age 15 - I tell them I was professionally trained back a few years ago and continue my education on a weekly basis. 🙂 Cheers brother. Keep setting the standard.

@CarCraftAutoDetailing Год назад

It’s always a good sign when you can’t wait for the morning coffee to watch it 🙂 I appreciate all you do mate and it’s been an inspiration for me to hear about your selfless work towards your community. Keep the motivation and good things happening!

As a 2006 C55 Owner. I am noticing that this car is truly a modern classic & that it can still keep up with a lot of today’s AMG’s, it was made when Mercedes-Benz was making different variants of the M113 platform i wish they made a 4MATIC version, very impressive video good job.

@CarCraftAutoDetailing Год назад

Really great to hear that, it says a lot when your customer wants to tip, fantastic work!

@garrett6743 Год назад

Sandro, amazing stuff as always. I think you proved that having a variety of compounds and polishes is important. After you used the microfiber pad on your test spot, it surprised me to see those results on the blue pad. That was awesome. Absolutely love hearing the guru talk paint correction. Thank you for all the content and dropping valuable knowledge!

Best detailing channel. Nicely explained steps. No bs and nice music. perfect.

@vdgitaliano Год назад

Great job as usual! In a society where we simply toss cars a couple of years old away without any appreciation of what it took to create them, it is wonderful to see that with a little love and respect it can look as good as new. Yes things happen on the road, but the overwhelming amount of damage done to cars is from carelessness and lack of respect for those around us. According to international statistics 93% of accidents on the road are caused by people who have no respect or concern for others because they focused on stupid things instead of paying attention or being safe. They only focus on their needs, comfort and purpose for being on the road in the first place with no regard tthat others have a reason to be there and everyone deserves the right to arrive safe and sound. Only 7% of cars damaged or totaled are from natural disaster or the elements. These people who race about, prioritizing their deadlines and destinations ahead of others is a prime example as to not only why the world is the way it is, but also why the elite are getting away with what they are doing. The elite provide the accusations why they are doing what they are, however, sadly we provide the undeniable proof giving them the power to do it. The only One Who can save us now is Jesus, he always was the only way. There is an even darker winter coming this year and I pray people will get it through their heads to treat each other with kindness and respect and to pray in the face of having no hope. Jesus promised "With God, nothing is impossible".

I have been following quite a few professional detailers on RU-vid for years now. Everyone has different approach and they are best in their own ways, but this detail let alone was on whole another level. Amazing, I have never seen any detail in such 'detail'😉. This was my first video for this channel ever and you sure have one more subscriber now. Absolutely great hard-work.

@johnb8190 Год назад

There’s a couple things that stood out to me here. Instead of pressure washing with just water he sprayed product onto the paint without rinsing. Also after the iron remover was applied he foam cannoned right over it before washing it off. I didn’t know you could do that and learned something new.

@AllTorque Год назад

One of the most motivating videos I've seen for a while. There is a real joy to watching video content where the creator has a lot of integrity. It is hard to come across well but this is something you do effortlessly. Im always motivated by your uploads but this one especially and particularly when you have gone out of your way to go the extra mile for a nice client. THAT is what it is all about in my eyes. Supporting good people. I would always rather make less money and do right by people. I have a channel and put some videos up myself and my latest video featured my old Z3 that came back to me for some refurbishment work. I'm not at your level but I hope I ended up doing a great job despite some issues I had along the way. Again the owner is such a lovely guy and that makes those types of job an absolute pleasure. Thanks again for taking the time to create this.

@johnwalters878 Год назад

Sandro, you are on point about acid ruining side mirrors. The other thing is harsh acids that do a great job taking water spots on side and back glass, they can really haze a windshield where there are the usual wiper abrasions. If that happens, it’s a huge project with cerium oxide to polish that.

@CarCraftAutoDetailing Год назад

Yes it’s been a journey detailing with highs and lows and you need to learn from mistakes and that the quickest root isn’t always the best one when risk vs reward is weighted up!

@bigguwapbrixks187 Год назад

Great job as always Sandro love the work and also since you been displaying the products you use every step it’s so great and honest of you. Can you play one day do a video on cleaning and restoring all of a vehicles rubbers and seals such as sunroof seals, door seals, window seals, all the rubbers and seals that would be so amazing since I haven’t really seen a professional level video such as yours on the subject.

Rims coating confirms that) I have noticed you have a new drying towel or at least I didn’t see this colour before) Very useful trick about Essence + on moldings - didn’t know about that - thanks! And as always - great to hear owner’s reaction! After we have seen he protected rims we know he understand the result more than majority. Enjoyable movie Sandro and fantastic job behind the scenes as well, thanks and cheers from Sweden!
