I mean it was pretty glorious. 🤝

Often happens you can also not be in the far left lane. Or flow if traffic in general but leave the gap. Not impossible

The protector almighty!

Thanks and thanks for watching! I'm not sure when but it is highly likely the RS5 will return to the channel for like a part two video I bought an X5M competition recently as well. That will also need a video! So there's no shortage of content to be created! For the time being I just need to get some of the videos I've already filmed edited and on to KZbin! But I have no shortage of content and video ideas!

Got it. I'll do that in future videos 🙂

100% 👍 that's bastahst gyeon prep and CarPro eraser are.

Thank you for watching and commenting! The gtr is a awesome platform. Very reliable. Very fast. Very tuneable. Very affordable!

Definitely. It's unfortunately often sold as something that lasts basically forever. Just not the case

Thank you! I'm going to try and get the Ferrari 458 speciale video out in a timely fashion lol

OMG! That is one of my favs. Can’t wait to see that one now. You shouldn’t have told me that. ;)

@@Anienee after that should be 992 GT3 RS. A sport classic. And bunch of other cool ones 🙂

@@STATUSDETAIL Now your'e really testing my patience ;)

🙂👍🤝

Un necessary is the main reason. More importantly the owner didn't want anything removed on the car at all.

What a incredibly nice comment! Thank you 🙂🙂

Thank you 🙂🙂

Month of work before you drive? Not sure I understand

@@STATUSDETAIL I mean I’ll be doing all the cleaning & paint correction work myself, then off to get PPF. Gonna take a while. All that before I actually drive it on the roads so I don’t have a panic attack of a rock chip or whatever.

@@brenthobby3282 oh gotcha! Statusdetailstore.com has everything you need!

Glad the video was helpful 👍

Sanding is th only fix. In some situations I feel like STEK PPF actually made the orange peel a little nicer looking and some 9/11s that I've done but it's pretty subtle. Unfortunately BMW Mercedes and Audi all have pretty aggressive orange peel. We just bought an X5M competition as a family car and that also has pretty gnarly orange peel for an over six figure car. I agree it's unfortunate but I'm used to it and was prepared for it so my expectations are low for paint on those cars lol.

@@STATUSDETAIL Thank you! Enjoy the X5M! Maybe a vid on that car? When you have time haha!!😅

@@MuffinMoney lol definitely planning a video! Ultimate Mom car detail or something like that

Maybe some conditioner after?

@@STATUSDETAIL If you wish. Or just use 2-1..

Thanks!

STEK has 10 year warranty! Theoretically it should last much longer than that if your garage captain not driving it very much like I assume this car will be used. It is however a good idea to remove it around 8 9 10 years old is if you wait too long it can be difficult to remove. But that's more common when a car is like outside every day.

Thank you! I think the issue is me haha. I need to post more!!!!

Yes! Two Ferraris coming soon!

Love it!!!

Thanks!

Agreed! I talk about this in a few videos especially on nasty defects requiring sanding. We aim to remove all the defects and jewel the paint into a ridiculously glossy state and then lock that in. But managing clear coat depth is a serious thing! If your thinking about that your already leagues ahead of most PPF installers 👍

Thank you! Love comments like this! The upcoming Ferrari video should be even better than this one!!

Lol Paul changes his look every few months. He doesn't want to attract to much fame in public.

Thank you for watching and interacting! Viewers like yourself help the channel grow 🙂👍

This detail took 70 hours. It’s not a days work. Don’t be jealous

@@blimeydude9789 jealous of what. The car. The idiot who paid 18k. Or the detailer. I think the detailer is a genius. The person paid the 18K is most definitely a idiot. The car was nice when it realised in 2007.

This detail took over a week. The point is every car I do is basically a expensive rare car. So this is just the normal day to day to me. I've done something like 5 GT4RS recently and have 3 more coming. The last one I did I didn't even talk about it or film it or take pictures lol. That's what most people do on a Corolla. It's just so normal here I didn't even really talk about it. I dont believe I said I do a different car every day. I said every day I work on expensive exotic etc. If I didn't say that ... It's what I meant lol. Not very nice to call the car owner a idiot. He owns a extremely rare and expensive car. A car that can easily double in value in 10 plus years if cared for. A detail like this will make it unlike the other rare cars and is a small amount of money considering the car is over 250k and will gain value. Just perspective. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

@@STATUSDETAIL 18k. To make your car look good and protect it.

@@RJAH355 others can do it for less. And he was aware of this too. Few will do it like me tho 👍

I could buy a plotter. I could buy multiple plotters and have multiple employees and up my volume of work. But I aim to do things perfectly. Plotting won't be perfect it's just faster but with a cost on the aesthetic side. Bulking is a fully customized install and will maximize the installers ability to make the PPF invisible and reduces many potential defects. A plotter will cost anywhere from 3500 to 9000 plus monthly software. Many shops can't afford that. But many shops can and prefer to bulk. We are one of those shops. Hand cutting is a art forum and it's important to remember plotter installed film won't go on perfectly. So it will require you to trim at times. So you cut on car no matter what. Especially on things like mirrors or any panel requiring huge stretch or any really exotic cars or brand new models. As there will be no software to cut those cars. How I install is very slow and methodical. The average business would struggle installing like us. Plotting is fast and gets cars in and out

@@STATUSDETAIL thanks!

@@danielbrown4579 your welcome

Nice! It's important to find products you enjoy 👍👍

Not sure what your seeing. Might be a weird light reflection. On our if state cars they often stay with me a few days after completion so I can check for this very issue! This was done a long time ago so I don't remember but it's safe to say I found things and re heated it trimmed any problem spots 👍

Thanks for watching and commenting! 458 speciale edit should be next. Might be one of the best videos yet!!!

I literally wash my hands Everytime before getting in my RS5 lol. That's a great call. It should have been in the video! I have alcantara steering wheel but it's a great idea regardless!

I think he's going to drive it to car shows. And I think he'll drive it around town now and then. But I would guess that it'll probably be in a garage decent amount and probably not get tracked if I remember correctly. This is a car that in 10 or 20 years could easily double in value. So you got to try and take care of it in my opinion just because it's so special and it has so much upside and value long-term.

@@STATUSDETAIL I’d never drive it personally. It’s worth too much in the future. Plus it’s a historic car in the future. I’d be a nervous wreck.

Thank you 🙂🙂

It's always interesting seeing different brands when new. Seeing the inside look at how they stack up. I would say overall from what I'm used to seeing this car stacked up pretty well. I do feel like the OEM orange peel was rather aggressive. Beyond at the most of the things we saw I've seen on Porsches and Ferrari and other exotic cars. So ultimately it's in spec for the auto industry. Just above average orange peel on some panels.

Lol yes I did over a week of work including materials for $3,000. It's weird that you figured that out so easily.

Yes especially when you do it cheap and pay twice to have it done correctly. That's assuming the cheap people don't damage your nearly impossible to replace super car.
