Cleaning up my STI Swapped Forester - ASMR Style

Upon common request for more detailing videos and more "ASMR" style videos, here's 27 minutes of nothing but glorious Detailing / Restoration of my Subaru Forester. I've owned this car for 3 years now, and I'm grievously going to be selling the car to make room for more ambitious projects. This car has been amazing for the last 3 years, so I wanted to treat it right by cleaning up the remaining body panels that had blemishes and getting it a full detail and ceramic coating.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

At first when this video started and there was no sound, I was taken back. Then I relaxed into the euphoria of watching someone detail a car. I dreamt of having a car like this and having it detailed to this shine. And I really liked that you added the music at the end. That was a good way to foretell us that the video was about to conclude. Good work today and I am excited for the next one.

[@surrealinabox5220]

That fact that it went from strictly ASMR to the ending music made my soul cry. It was soo touching. Every enthusiast in the Automotive field literally can feel this to the very core. Guranteed!

[@jamesmiguel]

I sold my 2005 forester XS 2 years ago . It was the best car I ever owned. This video reminded me of the countless hours I spent washing and waxing it. It was almost perfect condition but as issues start to pop up over the 10 years of ownership it did not make sense to invest money in a car that was no longer worth much. I wish I had so much money that I could do illogical things like this. Being older and wiser sucks. As for the video itself. Based on how meticulous they were from the start, I was sure it was going to look great . However, I did not expect the music at the end. You guys got me all misty eyed . I’m saving the video to my favourites. Thank you

[@SushiPac]

literally every inch was touched on the forester!!! They do such amazing work!!! Turned out amazing !!!! Thank you for the video

I love your videos simply because you get right into what's happening. Some channels that I find promising start with someone talking for ages and ages then when they finally get to whatever it is the video is about (detailing or mechanical) you hardly see anything happening or it's cut with more of their constant waffling. Thank you for being informative and practical.

How much does this high level detailing job cost? I'd love to have my cars as clean as this, but I'm not a professional detailer myself.

Gonginator depends on what shop you go to or what mobile detailer you go to, but anywhere from $600-$2000

Most of job done here can be DIY, so get some rag, vacuum cleaner, brush etc and do it. No one can be born as professional, but DIY get you some experience and pleasure of course if you are petrol head guy.

As long as he's not blasting directly onto components, and it's dry before starting, it's most likely going to be good.
