This is one of my ALL time favorites! I watch it every couple of months!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s actually one of my all time favourite videos I made as well - really nice to hear that from you, thanks!

[@ArnoldVette]

Just love how you have shown the benefits of the paint protection even when driving these cars hard. Fantastic black Alfa too!

[@jamiec9866]

No point having cars and not driving them and not having a little bit of fun! :-) Your exhaust noise is lovely Sandro & the coating... I think this video proved your point about that.

[@jamiec9866]

I looked up these coatings & they're not really available in the UK from what I can see, but they do seem mighty impressive!

[@GWHAWK87]

Completely agree with you on making the car easier to clean. Got PP on my car when new, but regretably had to get the whole thing resprayed due to hail, cheaped out and didn't get it coated again. Regreting it now, but can vouch for it. Also North/West suburbs of Melbourne unmistakable.

[@charlesdetailn8514]

Great video as always Sandro. Your car looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[@chin6877]

"WOW"! Amazing! Well done, Sandro!!!

[@key2theuniverse713]

The paint looks so fantastic, another great video :-)

[@stringpoo]

Wow.. seriously killed it. Really upped your game with the editing and music choice

[@braydenhaines5456]

I’m not really a big fan of Audi’s but the turn signals are like none other! I want big led strips as my indicators, running from the headlights to the tail lights

[@ganddpijnenburg1328]

Loved the video - great shots and music was great :-)

[@MrMickeyrat]

Awesome work with the coating.

[@conevans9982]

Sandro I must say all your hard work paid off, great job mate 👍

[@pooneyheat]

That's some serious water sheeting! Car looks awesome!

[@Mays99]

I knew it! We are neighbors, Live on the same street. (You drive past at 1.06) I always thought your home videos surroundings looked familiar. Love this video, Great editing and a gorgeous car. Neighbor discount to detail my Touareg😜

[@csiautodetail]

Great and different video, I enjoy watching the all the sceneries.

[@paultaylor9652]

Amazing finish/resul from modern technology car coating. Nice to see a bit of Australia, i wish we had such wide open spaces in UK.

[@KHender]

Awesome video, excellent idea, just to show a day of fun driving! Cars are meant to be driven!

[@erikv4902]

You are a huge inspiration to me and I hope to be half as in the future but for now practice practice practice!!!

[@TelaKalleoy]

4:12 getaway australia "get away stockholm" i think was the original

[@whitty132]

The paint on your car is the goal of all enthusiasts , flat peel free, easy to maintain .Just superb ! was wondering if the paint was wet block sanded to remove factory orange peel . If so was it 2 stage wet? guessing 1500 then 3000 ? Thanks

[@TheDocCola]

Love your videos man, completely hooked. I have a dumb question though: how do you get such good foam from an electric pressure washer? I’m about ready to ditch mine for a gas one.

[@mohamedbendahib2032]

Top 3 best thing in the world (Family, Friends & Ceramic Coating) Great Video 👍

[@7071t6]

Meaning you can see the dust as your driving on the bonnet, cheers and well done Sandro, keep up the great work. :)

[@cameronthomson6141]

Love the Brera. Is this the V6? All Wheel Drive? Would be v cool if you did a video about it, I know thats not what your channel is about but its such a nice car.

[@KarmaPolice93]

Nice vid, just wondering what that hose attachment is called that you're using to sheet the water off the car.

[@KHender]

Love the reverse video with the soap reappearing, that was hott!

[@astarpery6260]

Amazing footage of of your car from your cameraman friend in the back of the RS. That coating seems amazingly good, I wish my black car looked that clean after a week never mind month and road trip...especially on black - must be a right miracle worker. I would love to get my hands on it, are their any lighter ‘consumer’ versions at all? Or any consumer one that comes close from your experience?

[@JNDK]

Sandro, for gloss, hydrophobic properties and longevity, what would you prefer/recommend for the home detailing guy? 1 layer of Nova EVO, or a layer of Cquartz UK 3.0 topped with a layer of Gliss?

[@stringpoo]

Please give an update on washing after rain and how the coating holds up to water spotting

[@FeeeshEP3]

so no bug crap on the front end after that trip? how well does that come off?

[@glennplumbe7815]

One word Amazing

[@clevo351]

Nice Sandro! Are you using reload after you dry it?

[@nicholasglambeck6982]

Is nova pro better than gtechniq's crystal serum/exo combo?

[@soreihengchau5095]

what camera you using in the car?

[@shaniranikauboj]

There is something in the sound of that v6 that reminds me of Giulia QV. Its not that strong, but i can hear it. Btw, the paint is CRAZY!

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

Dont you just love a clean windscreen, I do! oh and the car that is some awesome footage better than a TV advert.

[@JaspalSingh-mq1nq]

Nova Pro vs Nova Evo? Thanks

[@huyaha]

i thought that looked like mathews ave lol i train at derrimut and live in ek, maybe i should book my s3 in for a paint correction! been wanting to sort it out for a while

[@johnfirst4545]

Sandro, can you do a comparison between Nova Pro and Evo. It looks like the Pro is only available to accredited detailers.

[@jackjones6936]

So what are the differences between Nova Pro Glass and CarPro CQuartz UK Edition? The Nova Pro is a lot more expensive, but is it better?

[@jtschump]

That’s insane. I guess I need to put a detailing business together so I can get my hands on Pro! 😉

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Is nova a pro coating?

[@CAPTJ696]

Enjoyed the "ride".

[@trippymarv]

Legend

[@KHender]

The music in this video is so hott! 3rd time watching this video!

[@TomW61]

Wicked water repelling Sandro. Great editing. A grey 265 is needed me thinks 😉

[@dimmacommunication]

My 2 favourite KZbin detailers own alfas , is that a coincidence ? 😎

[@kikcodog]

That's insane! Maybe I need to recoat...it has been 7 years...

[@thetraindriver01]

The alpha looked great Sandro, a different vid but good as always 👍 I hope that you enjoyed the drive with your mates. One question if I may please - my Aussie wife from Melbourne tells me that it’s a private plate on your car... if so, what is the relevance of the letters and numbers? As your name is Sandro and it’s v tx 888 I am a little intrigued 👍👍😜👍 please could you let me know? Thanks mate. Addition: thanks for the response Sandro mate, appreciated 👍👍👍

[@Tigersmundo]

*Keeping it real 💯 L E G I T thank you for leading me the in the right path AGAIN!*

[@mikea5205]

Never seen water behavior like this before, your prep and the coating are something else.

[@7071t6]

Is it just me or is there a light dust on the bonnet anyway, Sandro. :)

[@sergeyrudnitskiy7579]

Hi Sandro, great video as usual, thank you for that one. What you are using for glass coating?

[@sergeyrudnitskiy7579]

Thank you Sandro! Can I ask your professional advice please - I am planning to switch Autoglym I have used on my car to CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0 Edition and of course I need to prepare car with CarPro Fixer and CarPro Reflect Super Fine Polish. They both are available in different bottle sizes, starting from 250 ml. How do you think - will be 250 ml of Fixer and 250 ml od Reflect enough for one car prep or I need switch to 500 ml bottles? I understand it is very dependent of the car shape, but it is in a goof condition with some really small swirls after hand washes.

[@sergeyrudnitskiy7579]

Thank you indeed for your time and help!

[@TKsw191145]

Can’t really get Nova here in the US. Between UK 3.0, Gtechniq CSL topped with EXO V4, and Gyeon Synchro what do you recommend? I live in a place that is hot desert in the summer and severe winters with lots of snow, ice, and salt. I know you don’t get much of a winter in Australia

[@nailbomb3]

Nova looks incredible! Does UK 3.0 sheet or bead thou?

[@sbrick9589]

that rev bounce

[@7071t6]

Sandro is the ceramic coatings you do covered by insurance companies, meaning that have you done insurance company requests for clients ?

[@7071t6]

Thank you Sandro. cheers :)

[@kwstantinosk89]

Hello Sandro! yesterday i applied a layer of the 3.0 ceramic on my car...but the night came and i didn't have time apply another layer... can i apply after 3 days another 1 or 2 layers on my car? thanks in advance 😀

[@kwstantinosk89]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I added a layer of ceramic on the car before 2 days😢... I will give it a try with the ceramic tomorrow on a small panel to see how it's goes.. Thanks for the fast reply😀 Btw I love your videos👌🏻

[@lukehall3487]

Should have had your lights on that would have looked cool

[@dazamatazable]

Would you say this kind of wash is sufficient for any ceramic coating? Or only the glass coating pros can have? Wanted to coat mine in carpro cquartz btw

[@dazamatazable]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing cquartz is layer-able right? So could I use reset within a year or so and layer cquartz again? Like and endless cycle of protection

Hi Professor ! 1rst of All, How Beautiful Is Your A.nonima L.ombarda F.abbrica A.utomobile ! 2nd, With All Respect, I’d Like To Share an Interesting Point of View From Swissvax Getleman. It Is The KZbin Video “ Wax vs Nanocoating “ on Swissvax Channel. Despite The “ Conflict of Interest “, I Think He Has an Curious Approach and I’d Like To Know How You Deal With This Important Matter Wich Is The Wear of The Nano Coat . Once Again, Thank You and Congrats Fir The Awesome Job ! Best Regards, Ed São Paulo, SP Brasil

[@edsonherald3720]

Hi Professor ! Thank You Very Much For The Prompt Answer. I Really Thought That Nano Coating Would Be Hard To Deal as It Wear Out Over The Time. But, After Your Robust Explanation, No Doubt Has Left. Thank You Very Much . Best Regards, Ed São Paulo, SP Brasil
