[@pooneyheat]

This guy isn't just a phenomenal detailer but he's also a great video editor/mix engineer! Keep the great videos coming!

[@torks2339]

Jim we all know you a perfectionist. That much is obvious through your work but honestly don't stress so much if the content is deemed good enough. 95% of us subscribers would probably watch a 45 minute video of you cleaning your number plate screws as long as we get to see your vlogs pal! I've been itching for this one! I have just bought a silver E46 320D touring and detailed it over the last week because of your vids. I'm certainly no Jim White and silver is pretty forgiving but my 15 year old car is now gleaming and full of life one more time. Only thing I'm struggling on is the glass as the previous owner had one of those baby shade things suckered to the rear window for half a decade and nothing seems to remove the circles I see when it fogs up!

[@perpuma]

Ceriglass polish with the Pads :)

[@advancelast1740]

Well said Tor

[@sadaisebrenabravo5150]

Tor Kellett-Smith If you détail vehicle you need to have some ocd issues. Lol 😂

[@MrDallman]

You are in another league Jim.....breathtaking attention to detail......I have just had my 2014 Maserati Gran turismo done at my local well renowned detailers and they have made a sensational job......... but my next car is coming to you and I live some 250 miles away. Wishing you well from West Sussex.

[@a.k1311]

33:52 minutes of joy on saturday!!! 😁

[@GULLYSGARAGE]

The crisp clear mic makes the vlogs much more enjoyable. Didn't think a White Details vlog could get any better until now.

[@jonny5777]

I think the previous Z4 video proved so popular because 1st it's a great looking car, 2nd you showed the kind of cleaning us amateurs can aspire too and finally it was during Christmas so most people are sat around doing nothing. Always good content from you man.

[@eyes4cars62]

A White Details classic video!! Means more to your followers because it’s your own car. Hope you enjoy it this year! Let us know how the coating perform as I think everyone would like some updates on that.

[@sergeyparshin8682]

Absolutely fantastic job. hands down, best detailer i've happened to observe working. cheers

[@James.O]

Keep up the great work Jim, always makes my day to see you’ve posted a new vlog video. Thank you.

[@magikk78]

About headlights-i did restore mine over Christmas having done tons of research so I’ll be happy to share in case it might become usefull. Depending on how deep the chips and scratches are you need to sand them with paper, 800 -1500-2000 should do the job, then it is crucial to put uv protection - best is to paint them, I used motip colormatic high gloss 2k clear coat ( spray can with hardener activator). It fills sanding marks and the two layers make plastic shiny and transparent again-works like magic, it’s hard to mess anything up with this paint since it is so easy to use and control the result, lights look like brand new. If you’re intersted search for tutorials on this spray to see what I mean. Btw, I am not affiliated , any 2k high gloss clear coat should work, just wanted to let you know a proven solution.

[@amadafaka]

Great video as always. Thanks for always improving video quality.

[@milaskilathelab]

Always worth the wait. No matter how long it takes. Quality over quantity!

[@waynefromcanada]

Thanks for the part II Jim. Awesome! Enjoy your “new” car. Cheers 👍

[@hasangreaves9081]

Awesome work again,so nice to watch,the best detailing content on KZbin.Please keep them coming mate,your workmanship is on another level!

[@DeanB1980]

Great work again Jim just shows what some hard graft does to your paintwork

[@jf8315]

Sensational job mate! It’s a pleasure to watch your work Jim. While I’ve not been a big Z4 fan, what you have achieved makes that car look very special. Enjoy your toy mate. 👍

[@pristinedetail5378]

Great Vlog again Jim. Loving the new style with the new audio & camera angles.

[@hansjorgkarcher9504]

Great vid, stunning results!!!

[@dugahole55]

Great video, work and car. Can hardly wait to get mine out of storage again. This video definitely inspires me to learn more on detailing methods and good car care practice for visual maintenance.

[@GDavis49]

I never get tired of these long form videos. Well done Jim.

[@stevegreer1963]

I picked up a lot of tips and tricks from from this video. It gives me a better understanding of using different size pads for specific areas of the body. I just purchased a 2 year old Stingray that has many intricate areas, so I’m looking forward to using some of the techniques you demonstrated. You have a great channel! Many thanks from St. Louis, MO, USA.

[@IvanS85]

Great job as always!

[@joneldridge5513]

Hi Jim. Absolutely phenomenal how you pulled the paintwork back from the brink! A credit to your expertise and mastery of your profession, Sir! Hopefully, see you this year for that Z4M Coupe Mine Fest! Best, Jon (owner of the Sepang Bronze example)

[@weaverdetails4747]

Im a big fan of your in depth coverage polishing video. Just subscribed

[@edgy1rocks]

What a fool I’ve been! I have separate rims and tires for two of my cars to facilitate winter/spirited driving. Only till I saw your brilliant idea about different valve stems to indicate from which corner the wheel was taken did the madness end. Makes so much more sense! Thanks!

[@johnmorrison27]

Jim as always brilliant video keep up the outstanding work

[@UKRR]

Nice work as ever and credit to you for showing the good as well as the bad with your own car.

[@kungfusing1]

Stunning car and now something that will turn heads wherever it goes as I’m sure there are not many around that look this good.

[@nailbomb3]

This was a great watch. I never would have thought to blow dust off before removing polish. It took me a second to figure out what you were doing. Makes sense. Great looking car now :)

[@harley1793]

I sincerely enjoy your videos, thank you!!

[@Captain-Donut]

Great Job as always Sir.

[@alanveck6418]

Another great VLOG Jim

[@raycompton8748]

Hi Jim just discovered your channel and really enjoying watching your videos. Watched lots of detailing videos and yours are by far the best. More please 😀

[@gmorris03]

Great video, thanks!

[@smith12whu]

Well done mate. Lovely car!

[@topscooby]

Great video Jim 👍 Really good quality photography and audio too, as well as excellent editing. Been waiting for this to drop and boy was it worth the wait. Thanks for posting 👍🇬🇧🍻 Andy 👌

[@mad-qm9dd]

Absolutely stunning Jim, and great car by the way! Really like the coupe's Congrats to the cleanest used car in the uk ;D

[@MrBombeiro11]

Great job and a beautiful car 👍👍👍

[@Siwulam]

Awesome job Jim I am learning alot from your videos. Wish you explained the gyeon system in more detail.

[@piotrciepy4066]

Jim should open White Detailing Academy. Master piece every done car. Worth wait for another one.

[@d_votion621]

Enjoyable vlog as always 👍🏻

[@Audittr2108]

Makita and wool - old school! I don’t know why but it’s more enjoyable seeing you work on your own car.

[@nickhastings6705]

Fantastic video! Be interesting to see one on applying Gyeon coatings or others

[@Hyburnate]

Yet another amazingly informative video, really loving the GoPro angles 👍🏻 Would love to see paint depth readings being taken in the future

[@pruutus]

And paint glossmeter readings.

[@deluxevehicledetailingandp904]

Yes I just took my um ( micron ) readings on my 06 Z4MR this afternoon for the first time and got some big inconsistencies on different panels even though I'm 99 % sure she is accident/repaint free.

[@Hyburnate]

Deluxe Vehicle Detailing and Paint Correction Could be that panels are painted during different parts of the factory or similar. Would be interesting to know which panels and what inconsistencies you’re getting

[@deluxevehicledetailingandp904]

I just bought an ERAY paint thickness gauge meter, so I was just sort of testing it out. Took about 100 readings all in um ( microns ) In general ( from memory ) Hood-65-95, Fr Fenders-150-200, Doors-45-75, Jambs-10-20, Quarters-60-80, Trunk-40-55. Overall I thought the paint would be thicker and I feel it's too thick on the front fenders. I've owned the car for one year. It's a single owner, who has a collection of amazing cars, he's an retired race car driver and the dealership ( not where I bought it ) told me that they knew the full history ( gave me the computer records, minus owners name ) and told me I made a great buy and had nothing to worry about. My pre sale inspection by a BMW specialist,done on a lift, saw nothing and we were searching for damage. If I were using the reading and looking to buy this car, I'd throw a red flag at the thick readings on the fenders. Any thoughts would be appreciated...

[@Mogsy28uk]

nice work Jim, well worth the effort -- also good for customers to see what your own car looks like. What product did you use on the engine bay with the blower???

[@alangordon8940]

You have inspired me to spend more time on my car....bm looks cracking btw, keep the vids coming, if you are not ceramic coating do you recommend any waxes?

[@ryrybread220]

Jim don’t worry about what’s in the video or treat them as a video you would want to see. People like seeing you cleaning cars, the process and why you do it. There is a painting guy called the gunman on KZbin and some of his top viewed videos are the basic tutorial. He even has a channel that only shows unedited raw videos called gun man raw. Do a video asking your audience what they want and you will be surprised what basic things are requested. Don’t try and reinvent the wheel, you make your channel not the content. Just because somethings been covered before by someone else put your spin on it.

[@cobra454tim]

This video is just long enough for me to let my collinite 845 dry cheers Jim!

[@LR95051]

Make a guide video on the headlights please! Love the vids

[@robcrook4174]

Great video! I can only hope I can get mine looking as good as that - need to find a decent detailer in the Bucks area first!

[@jpmorisset95]

Hey Jim, great work as always. Just curious as to what you used for dressing the engine?

[@edwardcunningham3298]

Jim, I know you're not too far from Nottingham, so thought I'd mention a breakfast meet you might be interested in - Car Cafe hosted by Stratstone. It's just off J27 of the M1, so nice and easy and plenty of nice cars there each time. First event is 7th April and they're held monthly all over the summer. Hope to see you there one day :)

[@steveburly7765]

Hi Jim, great videos. Love watching them. Question, Can you achieve decent results compound polishing by hand as machine polishing isn’t in the budget at the moment?Is there any products you could recommend? Many thanks Steve

[@TheDiecastFanatic]

Can you please make a video on how to restore the headlights, thanks!

[@matthewpearce7415]

Car looks lovely. Please could you tell me the best way to clean and polish the exhaust tailpipes

[@MrDjconquest]

I truly wish you were in the states!! My X5 Diesel needs your perfection, it’s alpine white!!

[@martingallagher7217]

A wonderful result Jim, 101/Menzerna Gyeon p...did see a Z4 wanted to tell them to watch your vids, great tutorial very informative for us all.

[@timdavies3162]

Absolutely great videos really hard work doing them as well as the detailing alongside. Would love to know a little bit more about the products you use and how to use them. I am chauffeur and have always wanted to keep my cars at their best

[@danyz4197]

PERFECT REFINISH & GLOSS

[@adamperrett834]

We're do you get you Ken Dodd dusters from, have never seen you mention them before nor any links. Brilliant vlogs Jim on your BMW.

[@wesleythompson5085]

Loving the Go Pro footage

[@steveshirley9853]

Great video thank you, please can i ask where i can get the flat end wooden barbecue sticks you use from? Thank you

[@CarFinanceSimplified]

Nice one again Jim. Are you moving away from GTechniq now?

[@nickwestwood3057]

Can you tell me what you use when you are detailing small areas like grills badges etc, using the spray bottle please

[@iancross5370]

Worth the wait Jim car looks awersome. Are you and Al at Amdetails still planning on doing a collaborations this year?

[@BMF-NJ]

Will u be doing the interior and lights etc

[@Veniceredmask01]

Hi buddy new sub here. Could you do an interior vlog listing the products you use? Also do you use air fresheners or do you use products that smell nice?

[@awcarpetsflooring9380]

hi Jim have you used the kamakazi hybrid pads yet ?Really interested in how these perform.

[@nathanbethell784]

Great job Jim....looks absolutely stunning! Are the side roundels easy to take off?

[@deluxevehicledetailingandp904]

I just asked that as well, I'm about to do a full paint correction and film it ( though not nearly as well as Jim ) and definitely want to pop those off.

[@ctrmint]

Keep it up!

[@shaniranikauboj]

You need to have patience for this type of work. I mean detailing and filming while explaining everything. Very good channel! Q: When you remove headlights, would you remove front plastic and polish it from inside?

[@leebowuk]

yes Jim Perfect !!!

[@ABoyNamedAsTy]

Hello Jim! Why you didn‘t show the way how did you find the right combination for this car? Pads and paste? And by the way, how do you know how much clear coat is on bumpers? How do you know when to stop? Thank you, have a great weekends. Cheers. LG

[@Ascottie75]

Jim, will you ever do a hand over video where we see the owners reaction to all of your hard and amazing work?

[@MrOnluka]

Can you polish the headlights?

[@andrewstrachan9535]

Brilliant 👌

[@joedouglas2736]

What’s the most common compound and polish you use?

[@babis10]

Hi Jim,Great Video and Great Job 👍👍👍👍

[@rosekberlin]

Hey whiteDetails, what is the best ipa? Ipa only , 1:1 , 1:4? Rgds

[@ready2restore763]

Hey Jim!!! Some critique for improvement, could you give more information on the overall effects your treatments have such as how long will certain polishes last according to your experience? Gonna try some of your techniques on a crappy Twingo and can't wait for a quick step-by-step tutorial! Otherwise, great work and admiration from here... Have you ever done a motorcycle too? Cheers!

[@jordonwilkinson9785]

What did you use on your engine ?

[@keithhilton1564]

Beautiful job as usual jim seems an age since the last one.

[@deluxevehicledetailingandp904]

My 06 Z4MR ( picuted in my thumbnail pic here ) is about to get MY FULL ATTENTION in my upcoming correction. Can I ask how you removed the round piece around the signals ( repeaters ) ? Do they just pry out ?

[@themechanicdrredewaan5916]

Hi,can I do this on newly painted car?

[@kidda74]

Mate watching the way you work and your attention to detail you could easily learn to do some painting. My e92 bumper is beyond detailing now so I've removed it to paint myself. I was shocked to see what a shite job had been done on yours and you're more than capable of doing your own better and save shed loads on body shops costs! Should really vlog my efforts too! keep up the good work!

[@rguigRG]

11:36 WHICH PAD ARE YOU USING PLEASE?

[@piotrciepy4066]

Hi Jim. Should thing about Open Day at company, show us how we can treet car the best how its possible. Can't wait if will happend.

[@craigb4719]

As I said on Instagram sit back with a 🍺 and just admire it and say there’s many black Sapphire Z4 but this one is mines 😬👍🏻

[@hayd1981]

Finally! I've been having withdrawal symptoms waiting for this lol!

[@TheCeki1982]

That's because of the booze my love :)

[@MKRM27]

hayd1981 Just re-watch an old video. There’s not much new content. It’s really just the car that changes.

[@TheCeki1982]

I think he means that WhiteDetails takes the time to explain what he does. There's interaction with "us'. Grtz

[@anthonywhite721]

Hi Jim hope your well? Can I ask what dressing did you use on the engine bay? WS it autosmart finish

[@ToxicZ0mbie]

anthony white I would also like to know this

[@anthonywhite721]

cobalt ct hi cobalt it looked like autosmart finish. but let’s see if Jim reply’s

[@ryrybread220]

It looks like carpro pearl.

[@oscardiaz9637]

Subtítulos en Español porfavor!!!!! Eres un genio.

[@joytichaddha1826]

prefer this more tutorially format

[@ash7jar]

Yes i do as well great work!

[@craigrobbins637]

Anybody know what 3" pads hes using? cheers

[@ryrybread220]

Craig Robbins didn’t he say in the video they were lake and country?

[@Santi-ln7yj]

Is that wagon yours as well? If so "thumbs up" Im a wagon fanatic!

[@wfdTamar]

Great two video's. Picked up some tips thanks. After the cut with 400 did you polish with finer grade?

[@wfdTamar]

Is the what you're doing at the 27 minute mark on the round side indicator?

[@wfdTamar]

Ah yes (writing this as I watched) - that must be what you're calling refining. Very nice little motor. I've been toying with buying too (or Mazda MX-5). Thanks for being so generous with your time and inside info.

[@WanderingFriar]

No words.....😳😳😳!!! Awesome.... that’s one word!

[@fabioaugusto5266]

Jim,are you ever use ibrid with power cord? Thanks.

[@leebowuk]

What microfibers are you using to buff off the coating>? the yellow kirkland ones?

[@azizhachimi8744]

You job Sir is out of this world! Koodos from Montreal!

[@berczigabor]

Why starting out at the bottom and going from there towards the top, when dried product dust falls (mostly) downwards, not upwards?
