[@audieconrad8995]

Sandro, I came up with a saying on a similar type job. I recently corrected the paint (as best I could) on a not to well maintained red🙄 1990 Mazda Miata. No clear coat and lots of swirls, spider webbing, minor scratches and in some cases exposed primer around the gas cap and trunk lids. A lot of soft touch, care and time resulted in a very tasty looking revived Miata Roadster. At the reveal, I told him "I took what I could and left what I should." That comment has stuck with me ever since. Btw...great vid! Made me smile...

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I like that, it sums up respectful paint correction quite well!

[@garthcarrier]

wow. I don't think a new red Ferrari looks this good.

[@bushhejira6020]

Jason Ross hahahah

[@iwcb8413]

@@jasonross6884 I think he was just saying how even a red Ferrari doesn't look as good as this came out.

[@Kezpool]

Jason Ross he didnt say it was a red ferrari he said a new red ferrari doesnt look this good. Smh

[@firebirdude2]

You should film the reveal to the customer. Include that in the video.

[@forgottentrancesets]

I was really waiting for it....

[@TechWizMaster]

yes and also interior and engine bay detailing and shots.

[@weeangelini4004]

Yeah the reveal is what you would call "the money shot". Great vids, so addictive.

[@sgtgrash]

This is one of the prettiest cars Toyota ever designed IMHO. You did it justice guys, I am not surprised the owner is stoked, 10/10 ;)

[@sabrinasanders4741]

Having been a former owner of a Aquamarine Marine Pearl (1 of only 2 colors that came clear coated from the factory) MKII MR2, I can agree that you never get tired smiling behind the wheel of one. Thank you again for yet another great and informative video. Love your stuff, keep 'em coming!

[@luthiervandros]

Love that color! I had the blue analogue!

[@adrononeal3723]

U can never understand what car Detailer's go through getting to see your customers reaction when we bring someone's car back to life. Great job.

[@dougmaddog373]

Honestly my favorite detail you have ever done. You are The best farking! No1 !!!! Tell your cusin Domonic farking!

[@BIG_WAVE_RACING]

As someone who did professional detail before moving onto a toyota technician i can honestly say im so pleased to see this level of care and excellence applied to a great level. I remember detailing my first red correction, and it made me love doing it so much because of how radical you can change the look of a car just by working with what is already there!

[@Gcal1956]

A proper detail adds a great deal of value to a car or truck. Everyone should do something like this every year or two.

[@ed_halley]

Man, I miss my MR2. This restoration looks phenomenal.

[@SpencerLowe-kg4rg]

I was a porter at 3 dealerships on and off throughout 3 years. I wanna say there is a difference in detailers and real detailing is a skill the same with mechanics, body specialists, painters, glass specialists etc. Trades have their levels and apprentices, I believe the same for detailing. Cleaning is level 1 apprentice Detailing is level 2 apprentice Deep detailing and semi art is level 3 apprentice Artistry and restoration is level 4. Licensed level Creation Specialist is level 5. The seal of completion. A creation specialist not only is a paint specialist but also can see areas so deep within and must apply indistinguishable touch up paint but also must possess the knowledge. The levels never end. The grand master teacher will always be replaced with a new one as knowledge never ends and new knowledge is always upcoming.

[@muslimbrotha11]

Just wow brought it back from the dead great job !!!

[@MrMbaines13]

What a transformation! You are a magician!

[@kianam.3511]

Those taillights came back to lifeeeeee

[@CanadianGearhead]

It's nice to see someone dealing with the same issues as myself. I've corrected a lot of cars, but the one that has caused me the most headache and stress by far has been my personal red MR2. Same story - super soft, super thin paint. Great save!

[@tastetherainbow9643]

Hello, before and after pics side by side is great and I think showing the car outside in sun is what we want to see as well. Thanks.

[@Captain-Donut]

Good morning Sir. There certainly worse things than having an All or nothing lifestyle. The progression to training is not only natural but with keep you motivated and grounded. Nothing like having new eyes on something. Love from the uk 🇬🇧

[@RB54DaBears]

Absolute perfection on your end. This car has to many variables from the start but you Sandro have resurrected the entire vehicle with your experience and expertise. This owner was very blessed to have it in your hands. Job well done brother, I can only dream of being one of those students. Keep up the perfect work

[@shaunnit]

Your professionalism is so rare in this world this is the first video I've seen from your channel but I just subscribed and hit the notification button because as I said your professionalism is second-to-none good job young man 🇦🇺 🏅

[@bencrosbie6003]

Another neglected car bought back to life! Awesome job. Ignore the haters and keep releasing this amazing content.

[@Ark7760]

Awesome result. I did this myself to my 30 y/o mr2 with some 60 hours of labor, but it was 100% worth it.

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Superb job Sandro! I bet the owner was ecstatic! Beautiful car :)

[@Shane-Singleton]

I'm not a huge import fan but I do have a few on my favorites list. And the 2nd gen MR2 is one of them. I'd have one in a heartbeat if i could find one that wasn't beat up, even a non turbo model would be fine as long as it was a manual transmission car. Your team did an incredible job on this car! Honestly it looks like a repaint. That's how great they did. Nicely done!

[@mat2941]

It’s amazing what detailing can do!

[@PeterandYen]

This is just amazing man! Thank you for these uploads!

[@bmjames]

An older car restored to (better than) new condition is like a time machine.

[@jruss9109]

To bad it's not better than new condition

[@msb3235]

Hats off to the owner too, not scratch not even small dent, the car look in great condition even before the restoration. It's like it never been driven!

[@melisindahood4566]

00:01 Yeah, I like MR2's but am I watching a 20 minute video? Nah. 20:25 Wait what? Already 20 minutes? lol Keep up the good work 👍

[@robbiezeigler4977]

Phenomenal Job. Best I've seen on KZbin yet.

[@kevincampbell8298]

Wow what a difference from start to finish! The customer must have been blown away! Great job!

[@rod822]

Absolutely amazing job on the MR2, especially seeing what it looked liked before.

[@steelhead197]

Well done folks! 🇨🇦👍🏻

[@CarReporter12]

Sandro I have said this earlier and I am saying it again. Your work is just making me impatient and just want me to travel all the way to australia(melbourne) and see or if allowed work with you... there is so much to learn and honestly I am glad for those students as they are under right guidance. Keep up the good work Cheers!!!

[@snail415]

Absolutely stellar job on all fronts. Great production, rundown, project and attitude.

[@raksh9]

About ten years ago I detailed a friends red Ford Laser from the 80s. It had been so sunbeaten that it was almost orange, and matte. Back then, I didn't know detailing like I do now, but I washed.it thoroughly, complete claybar treatment, then Meguiars paint prep to remove oxidized paint, then paint polish, and meguiars deep crystal cleaner wax, all done by hand. I didn't touch the plastic or metal trim, but it still looked like a completely different car. If I was to do it again, I'd do it like Sandro.

[@keithhilton1564]

That is one awesome job. Your students should be proud of them selfs. Bet the owner was in awe.

[@mytubebobbie06h]

You guys were/are miracle workers on this MR2. I was left amazed!

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

So amazing to watch to transfer this car to it’s fine glory But only that how in-depth to have explained the procedure You a truly gifted amazing Sandro and thank you

[@jay55148]

Amazong detail work!! That is perfect! Car show winner for best paint hands down

the first time I saw someone polish headlights and taillights and the WINDSHIELD I thought they were crazy.

[@westroop6342]

Polished my windshield for years, now leaves weird trails in the rain. Go figure

[@gflores7018]

Car looks awesome Looks great

[@Potzii85]

superb results, congrats! The red now really pops again ... it makes me wanna buy an old japanese sportscar and restore it too :) had 2 Nissan 200SX (S13) for a period of almost 10 years and I loved it. It was fast, reliable and cheap to maintain. A really great car to begin with! Japanese sportscars of the 90ties where really top notch, the engines where basically bulletproof as long as you didn't rev them too hard when they where cold. Sadly most japanese cars where underrated from that time. I really like your philisophy and the method you go about doing the things you do... It would have been priceless to see the customers reaction. :) have a great day!

[@flexinriffs9926]

Love the look of those rear lights. Especially after polishing. Good looking car

[@alexnasiadka5140]

Awesome video! Very well put together, it shows how much character a car like this has when cleaned up correctly and the nostalgic feel you get from seeing this in showroom condition! Amazing transformation my friend, cheers
