Sandro, you probably feel your detailing videos get repetitive but your fans can't wait to watch you do your magic.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

So nice to hear that, thank you mate!

[@Woody2194]

Hey Sandro, I love the way you go about setting customer expectations and your morals and work ethic overall. It’s something I can very much relate to in my industry as well. Have been a follower for a long time. Thank you for all the videos you’ve done and all the time you’ve put in for us, it really helps to keep my passion for detailing alive. You are an incredible dude. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

[@devon3800]

I love this type of video. Less tutorial and more telling a story and showing off one of your jobs from start to finish. No need to do a tutorial in every video due to your plethora of amazing how-to's in your video history. Great job.

[@corunnarailwayline7130]

Absolutely stunning mate. Came up awesome. My wife tells me I spend too long on a car when I spend an entire day detailing. Her jaw just hit the deck when she heard you say it took a whole week 😂 Love your work mate

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

If you want to buy yourself an extra day or two detailing, you can show your wife my 100hr detail on the R32vspec haha Thanks mates appreciate it!

[@corunnarailwayline7130]

@CarCraftAutoDetailing 😅 definitely going to be tomorrow nights viewing

[@1b0b]

Sandro what an outstanding example on how to detail a second hand car. When it comes to age Geting old is inevitable but growing up is optional. When it comes to cars we never seem to grow up. Its amazing how quickly detailing becomes more than a job and turns it to a passion. Plus the pursuit of knowledge to become a better detailer. Theres nothing better than seeing the customers face when they see the finished result. It makes all the blood sweat and tears worth it. Keep the great videos coming In sandro we trust

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I like that mate “getting old is inevitable, growing up is optional” - very true, just like we work on cars and other things, we also have to work on ourselves and hopefully the aging will bring wisdom with it! Thanks as always mate!

[@equestrianwhisky]

Fantastic as always, Sandro. I could never claim to be remotely close to your level, but your videos have had a substantial positive impact on my own detailing techniques-and I am quite grateful. Stay strong, brother.

Is that I have learned so much from you. As I see it, you may very well be one of the best detailers around the globe. I wish you health and prospirity and finally a good balance between work and life itself! Greetings from Sweden!

Lexus has always had great quality. Paint is on the soft side as you mentioned, carpet on certain models vary from standard to more luxury woven type. But working on soft black paint can be horrible. Thanks for a great video again Sandro.

[@louvendran7273]

Gm mate, I am a born petrolhead. I am always awestruck by your attention to detail, professionality, final product & video editing skills & commentary. It culminates to the "gold standard" of car detailing/auto valet. Especially bearing in mind unlike Yankees who generally exaggerate products or processes to promote their sponsors. All us colonials seem to have grown up in a totally different world compared to our cousins over the Pacific/Atlantic. Your content is a testament to that legacy. Moreover, you are ab artiste above all. Cheets from Auckland.

[@DavidSmith-ee6df]

Hi, thanks for taking the time making your video and tips. I was interested in the chronological steps you took for the stages in the journey. Nice background music. No 100% outcome possible. Detailing is good for the soul for us hobbyists. Thanks for not hard selling anything. Fresh air these days! Academic and learned. Greetings from Sydney!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Nice to hear that and my pleasure. The wash stage steps were: The wheel cleaning The engine bay cleaning Pre-foam & rinse over exterior Hand wash & rinse Brush out trims & rinse Chemically/mechanically treat/clay,rinse Towel & blow dry The vehicle was then single stage polished including all the paint, gloss/clear trims & glass. Then each area was given an IPA wipe before applying the ceramic coatings in this order: Wheels Engine bay Glass Paint & trims.

[@EKTV24-q8m]

Brilliant work Sandro, as always! Red is a great colour to polish because it oxidises more than other colours.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate and yes, red is always super rewarding to detail!

[@Mogsy28uk]

stunning work Sandro, reminds me of the Mazda Soul Crystal Red colour at the end.

[@gflores7018]

Beautiful job Awesome Thank you for the video

[@RJ-nf3jm]

I trust you because you detail based on results and what works, not chasing or hawking the latest products that manufacturers send to promote. So many other detail channels chase the products to make $$ off commissions. They are basically infomercials disguised as a “how to detail” video. While I’m sure you make $$ in various ways from your productions and product links, you don’t hype the latest products as if they are the best ever. Thank you for being a GENUINE space in an otherwise promotion-disguised world, which I find to be dishonest and one giant commercial.

[@snail415]

Sandro, Excellent vehicle to choose as a video candidate. Glad you’re still finding time to produce content…because you’re without equal. Cheers mate!

Thank you my Texan friend, hope all is going well mate!

[@sergeyrudnitskiy7579]

It came out better than new from the dealer, that's for sure! I am an owner of two cars Sandro which were delivered brand new and you know what?))) Exactly, have spend some time fixing them before ceramic coating. Can tell even more - dealer had two new equal in spec and colour cars and I have chosen the less scratched one))))) Appreciate your patient work man and great to hear customer's feedback! Cheers from rainy and swimming after huge snowfalls Sweden)

[@audieconrad8995]

Oh! Another red car by Sandro! Gr8 job mate. Enthusiasm sells...

[@DavidSmith-ee6df]

I much prefer seeing beautifully detailed cars on the road than something new and sexy. I saw a stock grey 2013 rav 4 the other day, just gleaming top to toe. It stood out and I thought the owner was a person of substance to keep the car so nice.

[@larrysing]

Brilliant work as usual. My daughter owned the dark grey F-Sport version of that car in a 2019 model, with the same wheels - so I have detailed that exact car. I'm glad you called DeScale "acid-leaning" because I measured it as 4.5 pH although CarPro says it's 6.0 - either way it's on the acid side, while some people call it neutral. Those grilles are a PAIN! Where did you get those little foam attachments you used for behind the door handle? CQ on top of DQ - interesting - haven't seen anyone else do that yet. Owner got his money's worth! Great video as usual - video production was top notch.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate and yes, every Lexus Grill is a bit of a pain to clean well haha That’s interesting that Carpro claims Descale is almost neutral at 6 on the scale, but 4.5 isn’t anything crazy, it’s still far less than lemon juice and vinegar. The attachment used for the door handle wells is part on the kit with the Shine Mate Eb210 polisher.

[@mag1vl]

Hello Sandro from South Australia😉 Fantastic work as your usual high standard and that engine bay looked like it was on a new from your cleaning even before coating it. Love your work buddy.💪

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thank you!

[@DavidChen-vh3nh]

Hi Sandro, how would you correct light scratches on the dark chrome trim around the windows?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Unfortunately you can’t - that chrome like finish found on many newer cars is in my experience a very thin platting/coating tint and any attempt to correct/polish will most likely remove it and ruin the finish.

[@mr.t361]

Great video. It has been saved in a folder😁😁

[@geramieparrish221]

Sandro…..big fan of your work and video skills. Got a question for you: what do you do about decals/stickers that are factory applied? For instance, Jeep Wrangler’s have a sticker on the hood saying: RUBICON. Looking to paint correct and polish the jeep.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

If the decades have a gloss finish you can polish over them, if they have a matte finish you can either mask them with tape or use mini/nano polishers and pads to polish around them.

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

Bloody Beautiful Job Sandro!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thank you mate!

[@lawrencelee4272]

Great video tutorial! I have the same car. Do you mind telling me where to mask areas of the engine bay before prepping it with engine degreaser? I did see yellow tape, but could quite get a closer look on the exact components. Also, what masking material you use to keep the water from getting into the unit?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and the masking tape was Kamoi Kabuki and the masking plastic was the Uni-Pro Uni-mask roll - but most masking tapes and plastic sheeting will be fine. The areas to mask are any exposed electrical connectors you see, battery terminals, the alternator and air intake opening.

[@reycarlosantos5055]

Cars are made to be used! Thanks

[@kylemonk7628]

Hi Sandro. I don’t usually see you do tar removal step. Any reason why? Awesome video and great detailing 🙌

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I’ve done and shown tar removal in many past videos - the reason I wouldn’t use a tar remover in many cases is because it’s simply not required, there has to be specific contamination I’m trying to remove, otherwise I won’t just use it needlessly.

[@Tro25]

Awesome video

[@greyfort1812]

thank you for the vid. may I ask what are the "water sensitive areas" you masked before engine cleaning? TIA

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Exposed electrical connectors, alternator, air intake opening

[@s5aif]

Hey, What is the inspection light used for the ceramic coating?

[@MrOnlymoin1]

beautiful video!!

[@ItayGayer]

Hi Sandro! Love your videos, they are very professional and also realistic. 1 question i got for you, After applying ceramic coating on a car, should the coating thickness increase? compared to the before readings. Thank you

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, really nice to hear that! Typically a good ceramic coating will usually add 2-3 microns, so it’s realistically not something you’re going see as an increase in the paint’s measurement being that car paint isn’t all that consistent and already varies quite a bit in thickness from section to section.

[@MichaelWarbux]

Hell of a job! Did you get a new camera? This footage looks cinematic crisp.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, no new camera but my wife bought me a new canon 28-70 lens for my birthday than I’m really loving.

[@seventysschev]

Amazing work as always! I have to echo what equestrianwhiskey said-you’ve been a big inspiration for me in my work. Do you find that the clay towel leaves behind more marring on gloss black trims, just because of how sensitive they tend to be? Or do you even worry about that because of the polishing stage that follows?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Really nice to hear that mate! Yes, clay marring is alway more significant on softer clears and the piano black almost always tend to have the most sensitive clears. It’s not a real concern as although clay marring is quite visible and wide spread it’s also very light depth wise, so it comes out super easy.

[@seventysschev]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing awesome. That makes sense-I’ll remember that in my next set of prep work. Thanks! 🙏

[@dawnkobs7652]

A very "satisfying" video as always. Btw, how is the smell of Purify compared to, say, Carpro IronX?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, and both Nv Purify and Purge are two of the least offensive smelling products with iron removal chemistry - way better than Iron-x in that area 🙂

[@r.k862]

Hey Sandro, someone applied detailing product on my steering wheel and its been extremely slippery which is dangerous because sometimes it slipped out of my hand, it's been like this for about a year and don't know what to do. How do I get rid of the slipperiness and make it normal or mildly sticky again?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s really uncommon for any interior dressing/protectant to last that long especially on a steering wheel where it tends to wear off first - could be an exterior solvent based dressing. An interior APC/cleaner (like Carpro Inside or Multi-X diluted) should remove it, if it’s a leather you have to be more careful and gentle as not to damage it - but a solvent dressing on for that long on leather may have compromised it.

[@moescardetailing6836]

Fantastic job Sandro!!!! As always ;-) I do have one question! Did you apply only one layer of Dquartz Pro and one layer of Cquartz Pro? CarPro recommends aplying two layers of Dquartz and one layer of Cquartz Pro as topping....

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate and yes it was 1 layer of each, I’ve done loads of first hand testing to confirm it works extremely well, have additionally had this comb on a high mileage daily for about a year now and it’s exceeding expectations. You can absolutely do 2+1, 3+1, 2+2, etc .. but after any 2 layers you only start gaining mild advantages so you also need to make a cost vs time vs reward assessment - you can make that choice with your client.

[@moescardetailing6836]

Cheers mate 🙏🏻 Keep up your fantastic work ❤

[@Bull1the1Great]

Always an inspiration!

[@bengarland5820]

Amazing job as always Sandro, do you purchase majority of your products online and get them delivered? I am wanting to start a new detailing business in WA and take huge inspiration from your videos, I would love to know how/where you purchase your products as a business owner

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate, and these days I do get most of my products from Waxit (here’s a link just in case you’re not familiar with them) www.waxit.com.au/?ref=1NNwBEgP4yO4AX as they are the distributors for Carpro, Nv, Scholl, Shine Mate and most of the brands and gear I tend to use and I use to get orders delivered but I mostly get it from their warehouse now - they do also have click and collect. You can setup a trade account and get substantial discounts if you have a registered business and also apply for certification if you wish to use pro level CQuartz & Nv coatings, and I also teach detailing classes there - hope that helps mate and wish you the very best with your business!

[@snsum2853]

Whats the advantage of going with Dquartz for the wheels over Dlux?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Through my own testing I’ve found that most pro coatings I use do tend to last longer than the consumer based ones in general. Dlux is still fantastic for wheels but I’d expect DQPRO to out last it.

[@jerrybenard7419]

Great video.

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

Dear Sentric, please can I ask? In general what is the structure of your detailing packages, and what they include....an average? One more question,On a situation like this, you agreed at start for step correction package, inspite you achieved what maybe 2 steps could also achieve. So the general packages, prising, are are based on time spented, results what is the general thought behind. And what level of paint correction did you offered the older days you was Mobile? Thanks a lit. Again Great video

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

These days I don’t really have structured packages, I tend to just chat with my clients and listen to what they want to achieve, offer them options based on their wants and an inspection, estimate the time it will take me, charging accordingly for that time/labour. Within that time frame I will pursue the best result I can regardless of whether it meets or surpasses what I agreed to deliver. In my mobile detailing days I did have more structured packages, but also didn’t tend to do higher end work, it was more simple basic and honest work and also more affordable.

[@bishoprain9287]

Hey Sandro, Im from the U.S. ,sorry to bug you, but can you recommend me some ceramic soaps for my foam cannon, I would greatly appreciate it...

If it’s soaps for washing and maintaining a ceramic coating I would suggest Carpro Reset or Nv Snow.

That car is not like new it's a higher grade, Sandro NEW. Having a 2020 myself I'm glad to see I have decent clear coat thickness. Curious, what do you recommend for protection on the soft rubber weatherstripping at the top of the grill where it meets the hood and at the bottom of the doors? Thank you, great job.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate, nice to hear that. I’ve found that water based protectants tend to leave those rubbers in the best condition, something like Perl or 303 Aerospace used every couple of months could be a great way to go. Just be sure to work it in well and a little generously, allow it to sit for a good 30-60mins so the rubber can take in as much of it as possible, and then gently level off any excess.

It’s a TakeNow Flood light, but unfortunately they no longer make it. Someone did mention to me that they found a similar one searching the net but I unfortunately don’t have a link, sorry.

Can I use clay towel without polishing the paint? Does it mar the paint?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Claying does ultimately mar paint, it can be very little marring on hard paints with gentle technique or quite strong marring on story paint with a more aggressive technique - as long as you appreciate that, you can decide whether or not to polish afterwards.

Which IPA pannel wipe product do you think is the best? thank you. :)

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I still like Eraser, I feel it cleans as well as IPA solutions I’ve made myself but has more slip and work time and is just very nice to use. Shine Supply ThrowBack is also very good.

@@CarCraftAutoDetailingspeaking of panel wipes, I’ve tried a few new ones and while very slick and user friendly, they were too strong for softer black paint. Left behind toweling marks after buffing. Eraser seems to have a good balance. I also like Meguiars M122.
