For Daniel - 930 Porsche Detail

[@makeitshine108]

You guys really nailed this. Can’t say I didn’t get emotional. Daniel was a special guy to me. When I started detailing in 2006-2007, Daniel was a young boy that came on the forums hungry to learn and start a business. He got as much encouragement as he did flack. People did not understand his passion and drive - It was above what nay-sayers could comprehend. Daniel made huge strides forward in learning and becoming an extremely competent detailer. When I stopped detailing years later and then got back into it around 2015, I always wondered if Daniel, known as baseballlover on the forums, was still detailing. A couple years later I found him on Facebook and it made me so happy to see the business he had created with his team, and at the top of his craft no less. Rest In Peace Daniel, and great job on this video guys.

[@bryandaughtrey5945]

Thank you, I've heard the stories his father mentioned with his username and it's always been a story with others. He will always be missed

[@Blink240sx]

As someone who just got into detailing this video was so emotional. Rest In Paradise Daniel. 🕊

[@haroldthebrokenwrx3394]

What happened? Ffs I can’t believe it.

[@brandoncarlson182]

Never in my life did I think that cars would bring so many people together in the best way possible. I also never thought that a video like this would be so emotional and so heartwarming at the same time. I absolutely love this community and I hope that when my time comes, I can have a chat with Daniel in paradise..

Amen to that

As an Advance Auto team member, I’m proud our organization supports your channel and Automotive Aesthetic. You’re always remembered Daniel!

[@aneeshkashyap3553]

A true tearjerker. More so because I've been watching Dan and AA on this channel since the start. I'm sure wherever he is now, he wants to give Ben&Ben&Luke a huge hug after watching this. RIP Daniel.

[@rs-flamingo]

“When the customer looks at you and has a genuine appreciation for what you do, that’s what makes it all worth it.” Absolutely nailed it.

[@christiangrey5061]

When gears released the first video of Automotive Aesthetics I fell in love with detailing and it got me out my Depression knowing how much Daniel and the Team Inspired me with that being said I’m on a mission to build my own detailing studio he truly inspired us on how to care for our cars ,and vehicles. Him and his Team shown us that detailing is a form of Art and Beauty Thank You Automotive Aesthetic Thank You Daniel! And Thank You G&G for Opening our Eyes of the Car Community and introducing us to Daniel and Automotive Aesthetics I appreciate you Guys so Much #ForDaniel

[@edoud123]

Now I feel selfishly stupid for wondering why I hadn't seen detail videos on this channel for a while. That was the only reason I subscribed because I had just got my first car and needed some guidance on products and techniques. I've never felt this emotional about someone I didn't know passing. I wish you guys all the best. Rest Easy Daniel.

[@vonflores5958]

All I can say is that this is beautiful in every way possible. Every detailing video that G&G made with Daniel was pure art. The music, cinematography, the stories, all of it reflected the passion that Daniel and the others have for cars. Watching this video honestly made my heart ache but in a good way. It's a masterpiece. Rest in paradise Daniel. Much love. ❤️

[@irfansophian7041]

All the buckets of soap i froth up, scratches i polish away, headlights i restore, rock chips i touch up! Will be for you Daniel! Rest In Paradise man!🕊 Fly high!

[@allyance8846]

Dear Gears and Gasoline, your videos are not just videos. They are a mixture of feelings. The production quality is absolutely next level, best I’ve ever seen among other automotive KZbin channels. Highly appreciate such good quality videos. Well done and never stop making them. ❤️ RIP Daniel. 🙏🏼

RIP Bro, became a fan today and lost a hero today. Keep it up guys, it's a beautiful thing.

[@tasneemkhandaker]

I still go back and rewatch his detailing videos quite often. I was going to do it today actually, until I saw this in my feed.

[@tlghostt9739]

I just got into detailing from seeing a couple videos of Daniel, and to see this one I really was expecting him to be there I didn’t read the title or focus too much on the thumbnail so it was a complete surprise and it broke my heart I can’t believe it 😢 28y old he still had a lot to ……. 😖🥺💔 RIP Daniel

[@cameronfell4415]

I hope this doesn't take away from Daniel in this moment.... but I'm an engineering student striving to do amazing things one day that'll bring a smile to my life one day, hopefully. Something I tell myself constantly is "On the day it's all over, I want to look back and cry, because it has to end" and that all of this will be worth it. I look at someone like Daniel, who did just that, from the very beginning, someone who found his place and passion in this cruel and messy reality. He was one of the lucky ones. And I hope that he got to turn around and cry with a smile, because it had to end. Rest in peace Daniel.

[@lennytorres8309]

I can't stop crying, he inspired me so much to do what I love and not care what people say about me, he was more than legend to me, and even though he never knew I existed, he will keep on inspiring me until forever. We love you Daniel, and thank you so much for the impact you made in my life.

[@samuelesiromo82]

Am Sam 29yrs from Nairobi, Kenya. I have been a huge fun of Gears and Gasoline channel ever since it popped up as a recommendation back in 2019. I don't know Daniel or any of the team members in the channel , however , my passion for cars from aesthetic to performance has just made me realize how cars bring people together across the globe as if you know each on a personal level. I ,clearly, cant afford any of the cars here and I can only dream to have one ....as I almost cried when Ben sold his Forester to how overjoyed when he bought his STI( Congratulations btw). Point is, we cant all afford everything we want, but can make a difference with the knowledge and skill we have even if it costs only a smile to someone else. RIP Daniel your legacy will live on.

[@DonisGP]

I remember the blue wrx video like it was yesterday. I still go back and watch it every few months. I learned some of the detailing thing I know from watching Daniel in these videos. Its tragic and absolutely heartbreaking to hear that he has passed away. RIP Daniel you will be missed

[@SacTuning805]

It's been a year now, RIP Daniel. You seemed like a cool guy and definitely inspired others.

I don't comment often on videos, but that was a beautiful tribute to your friend. Best wishes from South Carolina.

[@LuisPerez-ib4ky]

I was at Fort Lee, VA for training during the summer for about 4 months. I was coming from California and I told myself that “man, I can wait till I’m done so I can take my car to them soon” that next morning, I was ready to go in July 30th and saw the post on Instagram and my heart dropped. I’m a detailer myself because of him and he is my detail role model for the longest. But just the fact that I wasn’t going to meet Daniel was so heart breaking. I just want to say to the team that thank you guys for continuing the legacy. #RIPDaniel

I found out about Daniels passing just yesterday, I was bumbed out because there was always something different about his detail videos compared to the countless detailing channels on youtube. Glad I was able to watch your content, I hope you're ripping rubber in the afterlife Daniel.

[@WreckChris]

I found myself watching the video of Daniel detailing the WRX right when I bought mine. I must have seen it like 5-6 times. You could definitely see the passion and the commitment and the good dedication to his craft. I'm sure he was amazing person and a better friend. Rest in peace.

[@gab_ale]

Love the cinematography on these videos. I remember when I first saw the detailing video of the blue WRX. Still my favorite detailing video. Kudos to these guys battling on through the pandemic and after Daniel's passing. Wish them all the very best.

Those detailing videos were a constant in my life. STILL ARE! I just feel sad about them now sometimes. Id watch those videos multiple times a month just to chill and come down from stress or anxiety. I cried when I found out he died. I went and watched those videos for the 30th time each but with a totally different mindset and it was beautifully sad. RIP.

I have owned multiple cars with bad paint and have used some of Daniel’s process on all of them. He showed me how accessible paint detailing can be and that there is always something extra I could be doing. This proves his impact on the world and that it stretches even to a small Australian city. I especially watched the WRX detailing video 3 times when I got my WRX so I could replicate what he has done. I will be detailing it and thinking of him. Thank you for what you have done for the community Daniel. Thank you Gears and Gasoline for shining a light on this. I’m sure the boys will continue his legacy with pride. I hope his friends and family are okay knowing Daniel is at peace.

It’s really nice to watch people giving that much care to a car like this one. Used and abused on a race track, but still being classy as a Suit and a tie. The 930 turbo is my absolute dream car, when I manage to achieve It, I’m absolutely going to treat it like they do

Yeah if I had A LOT of money like won the lottery, that's what I'd buy. There's a specific one owned by famous actor Peter Sellers that I specifically NEED to own, as he is related to me so it's like fate in a way that he turned out to have this car I love so much.

Anytime someone ever asks me why I love detailing, or what's so special about it... I'm going to direct them to this video. This one hit me for sure. I only ever seen Daniel in your videos, and his passion and what they do at Automotive Aesthetic is what really kicked me in gear to wanting to do detailing outside of just keeping my vehicles clean in a normal owner/car relationship. I can only hope that some day I have even a fraction of the passion everyone says he had for detailing, and I would be satisfied. Rest in Peace Daniel 💜

I also started researching detailing shops that carry Modesta ceramic coatings because if it was good enough for Daniel then I am sure it will be fine for me.

[@Riptidee]

it was crazy to see someone with the same passion reach a dream that some of us have, the happiness you get while detailing no matter the car is something I only share with a handful of people. Daniel had the emotions and work ethic I have when I am going over cars. He was truly a role model when it comes to detailing for me just by the couple videos and things I had read and stuff online. It is horrible to see people go but he made an imprint on a lot of peoples lives. maybe some 12 year old like him started detailing from watching a video of his. RIP the boy

[@LucoreAuto]

This video really hits us hard, even not knowing Daniel we recently lost a very similar detailer ourselves. They are interesting incredible people that are almost a subset unto themselves. The attention to detail. The always making to make it the best it can be. Not wanting the camera to be on them but on their work. Truly sorry for your loss, without knowing Daniel we can certainly tell the kind of person he was and how much he meant to all of you. Carry bits of him forward with you and he'll influence each of you forever.
