get rid of the stupid 8-hour deadline and do everything properly. People who enjoy these kind of videos like to see the job done properly rather than racing towards an artificial deadline.

@HarryBradbury 2 года назад

Yes, 100% agree. No one details a car in 8 hours; especially one in as much need as this one.

@aaronshagar 2 года назад

Totally agree!! This “urgency” thing makes the content cheap and doesn’t fit the reality of the scale of the work. I REALLY want to like this show (and I do ;), but as a Detailer and restorer I was cringing between the skipped steps and the finale finishes. Time restraints just don’t yield good work! It’ll reflect on the best of us. I’m sure these guys are great, but they are never going to show how great with the clock ticking (and no steamer!) I’d like to see that they blew out their pads and mops too! Ha ha ha. Cheers to them and production though, hopefully they will modify the show for us detail nerds!

@paulanderson4764 2 года назад

Well, technically it was 16 man hours but I agree...don't rush to a deadline.

13:13 cool tip for people who have rusty pitted chrome, use aluminum foil and windex glass cleaner.. rub the foil onto the chrome using the wintex as lube, some type of chemical reaction happens and restores it back to 80%-90%

That 8 hour deadline thing isn’t fair to this art.

@themrmarkprior 2 года назад

My only comment is, at the start when they run around with brushes, shouldn't they rinse out the brush frequently? Or their just moving the grit around and increasing swirls?

@jrooney06 2 года назад

a bit over the top considering the amount of foam and does it matter if it's going to be machine polished.

Why didn't they start with the roof first? 🤔
