I’m about to try and sell my car so I’ve been speed running all your videos to get her as nice as possible

[@marcb1164]

I can’t believe how much I learn from each of your videos Sandro. You are truly a car care genius!! This one was especially helpful for enthusiasts like myself!! Cheers fromNew York mate!!

[@lm-vn6hm]

That paint finish is stunning

[@demodansoundwavemusic9677]

i have a black mito in the uk. i know what you mean about various weather conditions happening in a short space of time. i enjoyed watching this vid, its good to see im not the only one that will spend a day cleaning EVERYWHERE ! massive respect to you. i used to have a silver G too, the silver really hid dirt well but red and black is very hard to keep clean. good thing i actually enjoy cleaning my car lol

[@RLesser11]

I know this is a much older video and I haven’t read all the comments but I happen to like your method of using a spray bottle with soapy water to wash your car instead of having to make a whole other bucket. My only suggestion is that with using a spray bottle could be a little tough on your hands after a while. Wouldn’t you think it would be better to make a Soapy solution and put it into a pump sprayer so this way you’re not always having to use a trigger. You can make a much bigger solution and it would take less time and effort on your part to coat your sponge or microfiber met with soap

[@maxt7525]

Thank you for producing such great quality content with fantastic music always! Right from my wonderful home town Melbourne 😃🇦🇺❤️👍

[@mattpaskow5625]

Another great video, sir. You are world class!

[@vonyc6118]

It is very satisfying to see the end result! 👍

[@normanmendonca2834]

Its a thing of great beauty. Nice job.

[@thetraindriver01]

Hey Sandro, the Alfa looks awesome still mate, well done on the upkeep 👍 still loving the mitt and spray bottle wash method, I will be trying that out on Saturday 😜 thanks for the 6 month update, very enjoyable to watch, looking forward to the 12 month update now 👍👍👍👍

[@astarpery6260]

Thanks a lot for this vid - and all your others of course. Especially the wet sanding a show finish. Great to see you demoing on an actually dirty car (that you care about) and this wash method of 9:1 in a sprayer is going to be a game changer for me in terms of speed!

[@chemmutk1]

Very nice job. Very much everything...

[@kiddkai]

Very nice!

[@The2basic]

I really like that 1 bucket & spray bottle method.

[@Mr.SparkleOG]

The2basic Agreed!!! On my next wash I shall be tryin this method!!!

[@trapcracker]

Car Craft Auto Detailing You should try putting the soap solution in a Kwazar bottle!

[@walenrod17]

I just used that methot today :) works very nice.

[@MohdRadhwan]

I like this method too, and for your info it was an old method long time ago (early 90s). Back then detailers use sponge where glove wash mitt hasn't invented yet.

[@harshvirkamoh5879]

Great informantional video

[@victorhernandez790]

Great video like always! I can't wait to try my reload out once I attempt my first paint correction on my personal car! I won a 500ml bottle from PanTheOrgranizer award video

[@albertpapikyants]

Your car is so nice😍

[@Relentless0neFPS]

I just want to say thanks for all your help Sandro. Your video and follow up answers are very helpful. I just added some pics to my Instagram if you want to see how my car came out. I used products that you recommend. I think it turned out great. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@Relentless0neFPS]

Car Craft Auto Detailing Thanks much! I watch your videos for information that I need on how to detail my car. Thanks again for your great videos. Oh, and I watched your video about washing pads and how many you use per car. It was to late for me to get more in time, so I did the car with one. Just going to say that next time I'll be using around four microfiber pads. They don't work as well when you load them up with worked product over the whole car. Always learning how to make it better. One thing I also had a hard time with was polishing low down, it's a backbreaker. Do you ever use a lift? I really wanted one after polishing the first side of the car.

[@aaaaplay]

I find on my Giulietta that around the boot lid and spoiler is the worst! Plus I get a lot of brake dust from the wheels. Your method is nice and simple. I might give it a try on my red Giulietta tomorrow.

[@giveaway6314]

Wow car looks amazing. If the car is not shinning or you not getting mirror like reflection does that mean paint is faded ? oxidation and fading are same thing ?

[@djdescent]

Just wondering if you will be doing a snowfoam review video?

[@janislapsho3179]

Why you dont use a brush for exterior with foam or APC ?

[@lemmuelsunga6407]

Wonder if carpro hydrofoam or reset would have been a better choice than concours snow+?

[@KarmaPolice93]

What do you think of using a leaf blower to dry the car?

[@neilpotts7251]

Hi SandroThis video could not be better timed for me as I have now finished my wife's white Peugeot van and with the help of all of your videos I have turned a 10 year old oxidised, discoloured vehicle into something that is showroom white. I blacked up the plastic trim with Solution Finish and we put the rusted wheels into a wheel shop and now keep the clean and blasted with Hydro2 Lite which makes cleaning then a 2 minute job. People comment all the time, partly on the paintwork and partly on the contrast the wheels and trim show off.I have now decided to go down the Carpro Reload route which I have two questions: Do I need to pre wash with something like Dodo Juice and would you pre-wash every time you top up the Reload? How good will Reload be at stopping the oxidation and discolouring again? I spent a ton of effort getting the van in tip top, I want to keep it there.I will now use the spary bottle method for washing and I will soon buy - in the next 10 min - the Carpro microfibre mitt which looks brilliant from your video.For me you are the detailing compass and every idea you have shared has worked for me.RegardsNeil

[@laan1956]

I just bought the same car but in black! I'm going to compound + polish it very soon. how hard or soft was the clear coat in your experience? my last car was a Alfa 147 and the clear coat was rock hard, very difficult to correct. If the Giulietta's paint is just as hard I need to get some more aggressive compounds and pads. What do you think?

[@mgp1016]

Don't suppose you would do a motorcycle video? I know there's lot's of videos on KZbin about this but I'm curious how you would go about it. Really interested in a off-road bike. Don't see many good videos on that! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

[@JoaoAlvesCarlos]

@Car Craft Auto Detailing Great video! I just wonder what is the ratio of the soap solution?

[@JoaoAlvesCarlos]

Thank you! Greetings from the other side of the world, Portugal. :)

[@sbrick9589]

I have loved reload for a wile now useing it on lot of my jobs. Its cheep can get a alot of cars out of a 500ml but have started to play with jet and on the bigger job layer the reload first then a layer of jet it works well. I do have a question whats reload like on the rims I would think with the rise of fall out remover in rim cleaners reload would not last long at all or am I wrong

[@sbrick9589]

thank you for you input and the time you put into these vids. I am a detailer myself but love to here what other detilers do and what they have picked up over time. You have given me some new things to try and loving it only through education you can become better at what you do.

[@marbran7]

hi sandro what do u use to wash your tempest towel as i just bought a couple after sien your vid cheers

[@marbran7]

thank you sir keep up the good work

[@benjaminjean6239]

Very nice video and finish, lovely car. Can i ask what pressure washer you use? I am looking at replacing my non-branded one and this dictates the foam lance i will buy. (i only wash at home so may not need a petrol model) cheers

[@benjaminjean6239]

I have gone through 2 Karchar's in my years (not impressed) at least at a bunnings level. Gerni used to be good but again i'm not sure now they have became a bunnings brand. I guess just go for a metal pump. I was thinking ~

[@benjaminjean6239]

thank you, i did not even know of these brands and will read up and potentially adjust my budget. I know some times you need to spend money to save money so appreciate your advice (I am on my 3rd cheap pressure washer). Cheers

[@jaydc182]

Are Nilfisk available in Australia? Admitably the domestic models won't be as durable as a professional petrol PW. From personal experience I found them to be much better than comparable Karcher machines. If your not sure about the large price tag on a petrol PW it may be worth giving Nilfisk a try, two years of constant use and mine is still going strong.

[@kof2kxi]

Hey mate is it possible if I want you to have a look at my car and give me a quote for paint correction and protective coating?

[@michaeldeluca9306]

I have applied a synthetic polymer sealant for the winter here in New Jersey, US. Would it make sense to use reload a couple of months after the sealant has been on the paint? Thanks

[@michaeldeluca9306]

Car Craft Auto Detailing Sorry, its Jescar Power Lock polymer sealant (Menzerna)

[@lemmuelsunga6407]

In my opinion if you want a top up once you have already laid a sealant, just use hydro2 and rinse. Make sure you use your towel to dry as you spread the product as you go anyway and it does make drying easier.

[@moran68]

Great job! No tyre dressing ?

[@moran68]

Car Craft Auto Detailing Didn't see the tyres being dressed only the rims.

[@moran68]

Car Craft Auto Detailing ok understood .☺

[@bekiro28]

is adding a cap full of onr into your soap bottle make sense ?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

ONR tends to kill suds and uses a different form of lubricating polymers that may not mesh well with a more traditional soap. I’m saying you can’t or shouldn’t, it’s just one of those things that you may need to play around with to work out a good ratio or product brand that works well together.

[@bekiro28]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing it makes sense to keep it out of the bottle you are right

[@Alexiizz]

Hey! I want to buy this car. I see one And i really like it. Its a realible car? Good video

[@Alexiizz]

Thank You for respons.....

[@groundcontrol6876]

Am I the only one that uses one bucket and just rinses the wash mitt with a quick hose down?

[@y2002tii]

It would be more safe if you didnt use also this water pressure gun on the paint i believe,usually they leave marks neither they are strong neither they are low pressure,u can use just the normal pressure from the tube.I have seen also cars to get the paint come off if the pressure is very strong and very close.Neither way ur Alfa is beautiful.
