The Maloo was left hand drive. Which sent me down a rabbit hole. Apparently there are companies that import old Holdens and convert them for you. Now you know and knowing is half the battle.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

If the want to go crazy, they could buy a donor G8 and unstitch the firewall from both, then swap all the LHD controls and dash in to the RHD body, assuming GM-H didn't use a single pressing for both, just with different holes punched out for the steering and brakes to mount.

[@snoopstp4189]

Pokey is really adorable, this whole series is actually restoring some of my faith in Ford.

[@danielperkins4610]

That Holden looks awesome!!!

[@robinbarbieto1121]

“Shake drip and spread…that sounds like a single fun activity to get dollar bills thrown at you” I love the way Sarah’s brain operates 😜🤣

[@almonster2066]

With your need to keep things clean, if you off-road it - it will NEVER be the same. The dust is in every crevice, you will get pin-striped and rock rash. But it's fun. I got my 2020 Gladiator and off-road it a week after. It was never the same again. Also some of that Arizona red clay does not come off easily - I was in Sedona and ran a few trails there. Red clay dust sticks really well to anything.

[@inerlogic]

Thanks for the Ute..... I totally wanted one "back in the day" (before I had 3 kids) and they are totally awesome..... I appreciate it.

[@marksjunction69]

3M Film Essentials - full hood, fenders, mirrors, roofline, A-pillars, rockers(lower doors), bumper (painted piece below the grill) , grill, lights, wear and tear kit (door edges, door cups, inner rocker sills, touchscreen). I like the ceramic, but I think the 3M will be more durable. The areas that are not filmed I will do ceramic coating. I also put in the XL RokBlokz mud flaps….love them. They can be removed so easily. I love the lifts….been wanting one for years. You are simply amazing….thanks for the videos!!!

[@wesleywilkinson4355]

Soooo much better with the center caps! Great choice 🔥

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Don't be too harsh on the robot....he's just trying to knock off his competition. It's natural! Job security and all! Great job on the ceramic coating. But, you're right....very difficult to see the difference on this end of these confounded wires! ;-) Thank you for your work and another excellent video!

[@brianchase6701]

This time of year when watching a vid that involves detailing I can't help but look outside and curse the Chicago winter (and cry over how quickly my car goes from mostly clean to it's dirty again). Great choice on the black chrome center caps.

[@davidwright1653]

Feel your pain here in Island Lake brother.

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Even down south in NC, the salt crust is real...

[@redhauscreator146]

We did a clear bra on our Subaru outback 6 years ago and it is still perfect. There is nothing better for avoiding Rock chips and the like. The original clear bra manufacturer is here in salt lake so we get it done there.

[@daveg.6820]

Is a Bronco a truck? That is THE cutest truck I ever saw. White paint doesn't show the gloss like darker colors. do . . . That was the most baffling detailing job - a subject I thought I knew about - but, there ya are. Cheers.

[@alrestauro]

15:06 My favorite Clear Bra is 3M Pro Shield Paint Protection. It's self healing should a hair line scratch touch the 3M film. I like this product and highly recommend it. It works well on my Audi and it should do well on Poky.

[@angelogiannikos6657]

Clear bra ...after x amount of years will it show paint fading between the area that has no clear bra and showing a slight thin line where it's not protected...I've seen on some German cars and over the years u could see thin line where it's divided. Just wondering of how to avoiding it of showing Keep up the great videos

[@user-vw7qe1cf9x]

Even if you just read the damn phone book, you would hold all of my attention. The fact that you do practical things that guys like to learn about and understand is just a bonus.

[@kipwelch5316]

Sarah, 5.5K veiws in the first 45 minutes you release this video!! Wow,, ! We all do love you 😊😊👍

[@otb.bs90]

I really want get Ford Bronco and make it similar to yours. I was planning to get the highest trim but after watching what you have done so far, I would rather save my money 👌👍

[@klasseact6663]

The centercaps made a HUGE difference and this build is coming together great! Are you going to be adding off-road lights in the front🤔

[@byronstumman7420]

You are crazy thorough and detailed. But your work shows, cleaner than OEM.

[@davidhwang4221]

A 2017 Holden HSV GTSR W1 UTE has been put to auction in Australia. This car is the only one ever finished in the original VS GTSR XU3 Yellah color. 19km from new, build number 001 of 004. Expected price USD700K.

[@lplympton]

Aaaaahhhhh!!!! We needed a water beading before/after on this! It's the most satisfying part of a ceramic coating.

[@SarahnTuned]

The paint had a dealer installed coating, so there wouldn’t have been a noticeable difference since it already was highly hydroscopic.

[@TobyOHara]

Glad you showed the Holden! Awesome as. And it's converted to LHD

[@SmudgyContent]

Lolz I got one heck of a deal on Avalon king coating kit like $150 kit for $48 and I applied it to my 07 dodge Dakota. This was two years ago now. It’s withstood the test of time in yooper Michigans rust belt.

[@motor-head]

Last weekend I took the back road to Crown King then Senator Hwy. in to Prescott. Nice, easy trail ride, suitable for your Bronco. There is one spot where you have to drive through bushes that will rub against the paint, so I guess you'll never go. Too bad because it's a nice trip. Oh well, have fun polishing your off road vehicle. I'll see you out on the trail............or not. _that's my sarcastic a-hole way of telling you that you're going to get scratches and dents and stuff, don't worry about it, go out and have fun, get it dirty and muddy, drive it through the car wash on the way home then go out the next weekend and do it again._

[@kuri911]

Wow. That Holden is even left hand drive. I wonder if someone cut and welded in a rear clip/bed from an Aussie built Holden on a Pontiac GTO/G8?

[@Q.Lawrence]

I noticed that too.

[@davidbrooks8061]

I had my new BMW K1600GTLceramic coated last year the day I picked it up by a detailer. Love it. Although it has only been in the rain only once, that is the only time I had to wash it. Dirt just falls off

[@wild_lee_coyote]

You can see the ceramic coat if you know what to look for. It smoothed out the orange peal and that makes it more glossy. You can still see it a bit around the door handle where you couldn’t really get the ceramic coating in there well. It’s the little things that make the difference in making Pokey look amazing. Also shout out to U-Wrench for all the loaner tools and knowledgeable mechanics that sit right next door.

[@buddyhume9297]

I coat the emblems, tail lights and basically everything. Bronco is looking awesome!!

[@That_Handle]

Thanks - Was wondering whether it was plastic-safe.

[@vigilante351]

Yes the Holden Maloo Ute is a tough model here down under...although Im Ford thru and thru, these are really nice tough looking models of the GM range down here (in my eyes). I noticed the conversion to LHD didnt include changing the wipers - my OCD saw this haha. In other news, that ceramic coating is the shiznit...love it!

[@Joshuaherndon2]

😆 Every time I see that cardboard cut out in the background I think there’s somebody standing over there it gets me every time😆

[@paulvina1974]

Holy shit!!! A Maloo!!! I want one so bad ❤️ Xpel for PPF, without a doubt. You’ll have to remove the ceramic coating though. PPF won’t stick to the coating. Ceramic coatings absolutely add gloss and shine

[@valdius85]

How to remove the coating? Thanks if you answer :)

[@paulvina1974]

@@valdius85 you’ll have to use a polish or compound to remove it. It’s not hard, just time consuming

[@valdius85]

@@paulvina1974 thank you

[@bobuncle8704]

Goodness me, but that Bronco is lookin fine. I’m so glad you lined the centercaps up properly. Saw some nice rims rather other day with crooked centres. Drove me crazy. Great job on the ceramic coating. I really need to write things down. Stagmode just had his car wrapped, and they were talking about a new product that was “better”.

[@troymontgomery4173]

Love the content Sarah, 👌 you've been killing it, love the in depth reviews and your special personality. Props and lots of love ❤️

[@wildhorses4x4]

agreed

[@korhing1066]

Your Bronco is looking great , Thank You for all your work for us to enjoy

[@trevorasher3528]

I agree was a final inspector for FORD MOTOR CO. Paint Dept.

[@jimrobertson1617]

You're correct, the right side of the rear panel does look more shiny than the left. In fact it looks great. Can't wait to see when the vehicle is finished. Guess I'll watch the rest of the video!

[@robertrohr3990]

Watching your OCD is fun, but in fast forward it's even more fun! What an amazing video yet again!

[@hallj00033]

Think your choice of wheel and color on the Bronco is spot on. Very tasteful, l best I've seen on the tube yet! Makes me actually want one.

[@1wood101]

I would be interested in a 6 month follow up on the ceramic coating. I live in Utah and they salt the crap out of the roads so I am considering doing it.

[@crmath011]

Yes so would I, I would like to do mine

[@jonwardell2894]

Nice Job. I ceramic coated my wheels too - much easier to clean. I also ceramic coat the lens and window glass. Keeps the headlights from yellowing. Makes the windshield easier to clean.

[@seekingtruthnotfindingany7301]

Must say the subaru sounds sick! What a beautiful truck, bigtime envy.

[@AnimationMethods]

Finally someone who shares my same sense of humor!

[@muddyram]

Love the bronco. Clean and capable. Very well done. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@larrydavidson3402]

It looks great with the ceramic coating The caps are a nice touch.

[@DIYtryer]

“This stuff smells delicious 😋” there’s this one gas station car wash that has amazing yum smells in it, that robot cam view was fun!

[@gregstoddard8097]

The Holden was probably sold by LeftHandUtes in Colorado. They import and convert them for sale in the US.

[@habsom1406]

Because of the colour, I thought it would not be possible to discern any change in shine but the camera has managed to pick it up, it definitely has a deeper, smoother shine after the buffing and coating. Those flares and wheels give it so much character and presence, loving the centre caps too! Cleaner now than when it left the factory! 👍😎

[@Luciferisking512]

You have to be one of the only people on the planet to have a robot vacuum in your garage. And I support the idea

[@rockman4699]

Glad to see you using excellent body mechanics removing and installing the wheels. Smart move having vehicle lower. Keep working smart Miss Sarah!

[@thegamingstoner7821]

Her garage is the cleanest garage I've ever witness I'm impressed

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

That Holden and the actual station wagon versions are two of my favorite cars!!!!!!

[@Keith_White]

Definitely do a second coat and don't forget to use your Plexus on the plastic headlights and taillights every 3 or 4 months to protect them too.

[@ericdavis5259]

I really like the restoration of the Ranger, your sisters Xterra and your prep and tweaks to your new Bronco.. I retired in 2015 and have been doing spring and fall road trips (until Covid hit) and would love to see Bronco overlanding videos. My best trip was two months from Southern Ontario to Alaska.

[@fishflash1]

The black chrome caps look great. What I like most about ceramic coating is the ease of keeping the vehicle clean. BTW, I used the same brand and it's still holding up after two years. I did a second coat after 24 hours. I've put the clay bar to it a few months ago out of curiosity, there was no buildup for the clay to remove.

[@02PSU]

You’re totally in love with that Bronco…and I think that’s great. You did a great job!!

[@timbrown9731]

Usually takes a while for a full cure on most resin based coatings sometimes a month.....

[@martymoose623]

Haha! "you usually know when you are flashed"Also, thanks for the link to starting a salamander farm, i think i'm gonna do it! You crack me up

In science, black is the absence of color while white is all the colors combined. Thanks for the video!

[@DanShike]

I could see it. Looks great. That Holden is pretty tasty too.

[@mr.b8784]

My shadow black two door is being made in about ten days. It’s been a year since my order…. I cannot wait

[@gratefultedd969]

Love my eufy too. And the bronco, love that.

[@DuaneCaldwell]

I'm a huge fan of ceramic coating. It is difficult to see the diffeence on camera, but those wheels you picked up look spot on! You'll notice the difference from the ceramic coating when you wash the Bronco. You'll notice the difference from the wheels every time you look at Pokey. 😎

[@eugenecandelaria4651]

Those wheels are the most cool out of any I have seen on a new Bronco...

[@RetirementGoals1]

The center caps definitely complete the look, it’s sharp. The ceramic coating will help but I had my local XPEL dealer do the clearbra on my Ranger. Love it, they did my last vehicle four years before and it looked like new when I traded it in.

[@MonoPedB]

The Maloo Probably came from Left Hand Drive Utes, and uses the drivetrain, dash, emisions, airbags, and related parts from a Pontiac G8 to meet U regs

[@markdavey2107]

A 2nd coat is a must if u want 2-3 years of great protection against any contamination on paint

[@rspectx]

Underrated channel i love this build! Thanks!

[@kokopellie]

Center caps, wheels and tires are perfect! 💖

[@simondalgarno1528]

Got to admire your attention to detail /detailing Sarah ! The Holden looked cool too....

[@SC-mq1eh]

ngl those big flat panels looked like fun to polish - also theres probably only like 5 of us in the room mad about not polishing and ceramic coating behind the spare tire mount and I'm including Sarah as 1 of the 5

I am soooo glad I don’t have to worry about micro scratches and swirls in my TT mk2…..it’s a workaday car and I like it like that 🙂

[@shaneblacklord3313]

Oh and by the way, you should ceramic coat the lights, turn signals the bumpers, the grill, mirrors, basically everything, it will make clean up a breeze. Love the centercaps

[@shineobsessed4221]

Awesome as usual but you may have made a mistake, which you said you may be fine with but, if you applied the coating on top of that AIO then that coating may not have bonded properly. The AIO leaves behind some protection which that coating will likely not bond well to even though you did a prep wipe. Either way awesome vehicle and hey if it fails...more content! Ohh and the coating block has slits so you can tuck the suede applicator in so you don't have to hold it onto the block.

[@xLPDz]

13:05 I saw a maloo at a customer's property in MD a few years back. Also a Jensen interceptor at another house

I have the same cleaning robot. Pretty impressive for the money. I'm still amazed at what it will find after I deep clean.

Bronco is lookin' great. I'd probably hit just about every part with the ceramic coating (so plastics, glass, emblems, etc).

[@pitbull808]

Bronco's looking super Sarah! Clear bra would be great. I have the whole front end and roof of my GR Supra done in Kavaca PPF and ceramic coated. It's holding up super after two years.

An everyday occurance over here in Oz. Just sad that we don't produce them any longer. Used to drive a SSV Redline manual sedan (one of the last one's produced). Miss it every day :(

Great video as usual. I'm looking forward to the OCC install.

[@SoCal_Jerry]

I have absolutely no need for a four wheel drive here in metropolitan inglewood CA, BUT your videos of your new Bronco have really got me thinking! It’s an absolute beauty!!! I love the colors, the wheels and tires and all the neat things you’ve done with it. I also appreciate 100% the amount of time and energy you are putting into it to make it even more perfect. It’s a lot of work, but worth it!! Love all your videos and drive tests. Kool stuff!! Look forward to every one of them. Jerry:>)

[@michellericard4850]

They definitely have a certain sound to them. Yours sounds just like mine. I totally think that they need a little rumble to them. But I love my Bronco either way. They're so fun
