This was the best Beyond the Details yet. I hope to see more in this format. Thank you, Tim, for going through the extra hassle of getting everything into position for filming as you work. Great job!
This is a great series. Agree, best one yet. Really appreciate Tim's attention to detail and his pace, working us through the process. Really happy the episode is longer. Keep up the good work! Does Tim have a 959 for us to watch him detail?
Shouldn't be -for these older Ferraris, a non functioning clock is technically "factory correct". Having one that correctly keeps time is tantamount to over-restoration.
Just a note about those washer bags. It seems to me that it would make a lot of sense to have an aftermarket one in the car when you drive it, and put in the vintage one for car shows.
These cars have values north of $3.25M, and have sold for as much as $10+M. And yet: 1. You're sitting directly on the unprotected tan Connolly Leather driver's seat in blue jeans and a dark-dyed polo shirt. Anybody ever had blue dye stains from jeans on something they were sitting on? Happens all the time. Also a high potential for jean rivets to scratch the leather while getting in or out. Suggestion would be to have clean protective seat covers on every part of the seat. And for the detailer to wear something like a natural (undyed) 100% cotton long sleeve shirt and pants; no belt/buckle, no rivets, no possible dye transfer, no sweaty skin to touch the leather. 2. As others mentioned, using the same increasingly dirty cloth for the entire dash. For a car of this caliber, should have a stack of freshly washed, brand-new never-used microfiber cloths and change them out often. 3. The open can of beeswax balanced in the chromed center console? And in-use cloths set in the coin tray lined with the same tan Connolly Leather? Suggestion would be to have everything covered with large appropriately protective cloths to prevent even the teensiest possibility of anything bad going on in there. 4. The open can of black paint balanced on the corner of the engine compartment? One elbow twitch and it's upside down either in the engine compartment or on the outside of the car. At the very least, keep the can in a large magnetic parts tray to help keep the can planted and provide an area for paint drips & spills. 5. Just a small thin cloth draped on the fender for protection from tools & clothing? Suggestion would be to have all painted surfaces near the working area fully & completely covered with appropriately thick protective pieces. Think hospital operating theater with just the main work area exposed. I just can't see things like this without commenting. I ask myself what I would think about these practices if it were _my_ 275 GTB.
I also don’t know why he used a 3 inch polisher, could’ve damaged the edges. Should’ve used a one inch or better yet, hand polish. Expected better from a professional handling a multi million dollar car
This person is an OK hobby detailer, he's no AMMO NYC. Dry Ice blast the engine bay and undercarriage, no foam cannon, not rolling the MF cloth while picking up dirt, no steam machine, no ozone machine.
It is interesting this guy always find a way to paint something during his detail process. While I will never own something of this value I really don't see myself letting the detail guy paint components on any car. Save that for the folks who are trained for that type of work and will execute a lasting repair/finish.
I would say that he isn't your average detailing guy. He has probably also painted cars in the past - also most high end detailers have extensive knowledge of paint. Such as, Italian paint is often quite soft and needs to be treated carefully - opposed to german paint which is historically very hard and can be polished multiple times with almost no impact on the paint and clearcoat.
@@michaelmaas5544 Did you even watch the part of the video he was painting the steering components? 18:05 if you need some help. If he does have the the proper paint and body experience/training he is not utilizing that skill set in this instance.
@@michaelmaas5544 I am in no way trained for something like that but I would have enough common sense to not rest an open can of enamel paint on the million dollar car.
Hey, I thought there was going to be a Concours Scoring Sheet available. I thought I heard him say it at 0:55. You know, walk around the car using that scoring sheet to see what we need to change. So, where's the sheet, man? I want to download a copy of the blank form. The video is freakin awesome. What a job!
Awesome job on the detailing! What brand are those pens you used on the chrome and the brass. Never seen those and can't find any googling. I use paint touch up pens like those, you can't be using those for that I don't think.
@@yeahitskimmel you're not wrong. It's easier to store a massive amount of equity in one painting than a pile of bang bangs. However I wanted to tell you your comment was removed by censors. Goddamn censors.
I use Plexus all the time. But the plastics required a more aggressive approach. I used the Rolite line of polishes on most of these videos. But Plexus is my daily go to polish.
You are truly an artist at what you do man it was a privilege to watch you work ,I can see just by a half hour video that you are a perfectionist, and highly skilled and on this example of a fine classic auto you have to be, need an intern ?
I would rather detail a dirty minivan than work on exotics. It’s just not the same, I like the zen of dirty to clean, this is completely different, it’s not dirty at all so your going from clean to detailed and that’s not a big difference. I like customers to be blown away and accuse me of just replacing the car with a new one.
@@timmcnair4424 beautiful car and thanks for sharing the detail. There is only so much you can show in RU-vid video. Just a little arm chair nit picking from the jealous peanut gallery :)
Does anyone else take their eblems off? All of my vehicles are f'ing disgusting around them and one of these days, I'd love to take them off and make that area look good. My 3 vehicles are 94, 04 and 16. I'd imagine they're all 2-sided tape?
You can't really do it regularly on modern cars because they're glued, not screwed or bolted. Most of the 'dullness' around badging (at least on cars in the UK) is from water deposits. A good water spot remover applied with a soft brush makes the whole area look a ton better.
There’s basically not even any dust on it when he starts and it’s like 2 square feet, how many do you think he needed? My guy is polishing bolts and listening for dirt 😂on a $3 million dollar car, he might know what he’s doing 🤷🏻♂️
@@nastystew6942 Well they spend it all the time doing it so it must be “worth it“ to them. To spend thousands on a multi million dollar investment only makes common sense. You see everything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Why does the damn annoying elevator music have to be so loud? It really ruins the video, having to constantly adjust level for dialog vs the blasting music.
I KNOW I’ll probably getting blasted for this but I’m going to say it anyway. This series is great BUT I find it incredibly frustrating that they never show or tell us the name of the products used. Why bother showing us what you’re doing if we can’t duplicate it on our own cars. Infuriating. I know it’s probably some legal issue but I want to throw something at my screen every time I watch these great videos!!
Hey now, he may make analogies for analogies for incredibly simple concepts to begin with, but he has made the high-end detailing world more accessible for countless sick nerds like myself. Also to be fair in the first several years of his channel he only had a few products so he often promoted products he had no ties to. But youtube money has a way of changing amazing channels...
The way the duck tape was pun on the carburetors was really out of place in this video, is screamed bad quality, a lot of theatre with all the brushes, and the painting like accuracy, but the the screenshots that include those carburetors being washed with degreaser and the duck tape that masks 1:10th of the carburetors are horrendous, they could mask then cut the excess and cream them properly, for the level of the car, the guy is not on point.
@@henryhol8538 on what is portrayed as a perfect condition cleaning for concours I can assure you that the dirt under the badly sticked duck tape that protrudes from the carburetors counts
Sorry but for me this is a bit an Industry invented to earn money. You can wash a car, you can restore a car and you can use a car. But this is spending a lot of money for a work that does let look the car a bit better for a short period. Would never spend that money sorry.
