I appreciate that you brought up the issue we all are facing. Life isn't same as it once was.

[@jeannoelsandrazie1874]

It will probably never be the same again, especially with those new covid variants. 😕

[@snail415]

Sandro, Never apologize for sharing your sentiments outside of the detailing business. It's your channel. I understand that sharing an opinion these days online sadly isn't a trivial thing anymore, but in the end, we (here) are just people trying to learn-from and help each other. I think there's a bit of irony and symbolism in our quest to perfect and protect our cars and clients' cars. I look back at 2020, and it feels like a decade of physical and mental wear crammed into one. Perhaps we want far more than what we're actually doing, but detailing is the embodiment of that. I want others to walk out to their car each day, and smile for a moment, like a gift that you get to open each day. That's really hard to accomplish, but as you know, getting it right can inspire others wherever that car goes. Pre-2020 I dreamed of working from home. Then to my surprise, I was directed to work from home for 17 months. I did not enjoy it. Not because of the work, or the home, but because of the constant uncertainty that waited around the corner, the circumstances of so many. I've been extremely fortunate, and knew it all along. Detailing my own cars in the evenings always reminded me that there's only so much we can control, and that the fight to 'take care of our own' shouldn't be a fight at all. You just do it, regardless of what nature throws your way. But I'm sure Nova Pro helps. : ) Had I not found this channel last summer and challenged myself to find therapy/clarity through detailing, the year would have been far, far harder. And while I always want your business to explode and reward you, I hope more than anything that you always have the time and ability to enjoy detailing your own cars. Keep fighting the good fight, and thank you for the stellar content.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Spoken like a true detailing enthusiast with a real love for detailing! Really appreciate the uplifting comments and feedback and it’s really nice to hear your story, thanks mate.

[@privacyIsKing]

It's a very sad point where you can see how a globalist agenda and how few people really run things, instead of inspiring for real change just makes people shelter into a hobby. It's like getting about to be executed but being happy because it's a sunny day outside. At any rate, that's what I get from your comment. "I want others to walk out to their car each day and smile for a moment" For me, I only wonder: How low does one have to be to make a shiny car something to be smiling for". I can list the fact that I'm happy that I'm healthy even though I've been in bed for COVID twice already, I'm happy I have a roof an air conditioner because those days in bed would have been hell otherwise, I'm overall grateful for all of this stuff because I've changed, I can say me today is way off better than me last year and not because I have a "succesful" business or whatever, just becauseI feel it. I feel more defined goals, more determination, more accountabilty, more responsabilty, etc...but a shiny car? Really?

[@devilambrose]

Melbournian here as well, hang in there. As much I support the idea of restricted activities to help the medical system, 200+ days of lock down in 2 years is just nut. Many people lost their everything because of these constant lock down. Ultimately the original goal is to save life, but when this became the reason life are ruined, I think we should look for alternative methods to combat the situation.

[@wash-ittoronto5807]

I LOVE Brera's. One of the truly beautiful cars. It is interesting that you are having such great results on this vehicle. Do you put it down to the product only....given you would be maintaining it the same regardless of what you installed. Or perhaps the "insane" preparation that went into it prior to the application. I have just taken over a detailing and carwash business in Newcastle. We are in lockdown and are not working atm. But I would love once we are "free range" again to pop in and say hi the next time I am in Melbourne.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I definitely think it’s a range of factors like the initial detail and prep as well as the specific coating and the maintenance- it’s all very vital! Best of luck with the new car wash and and let’s hope we’re all free range soon!!

[@stojo007]

Hello Sandro, long time viewer, first time commenter. First off, I love you videos and as someone who wants to start detailing as a side business, I’ve been learning from you for years. Obviously one of the most diverse things about a weekend detailer and a professional is the water quality. I’m looking into getting a deionization setup, but in the mean time, water spots are a reality for almost every wash. Long story short, I would ask two things. First you discuss your method of how you have the shop set up if you’re willing, and second how you address water spots. If there’s certain products or techniques that myself and others could benefit from with your wealth of knowledge and experience. Thank you for everything you do and I apologize for the long message. I wish you happiness in your life and success in your business. Remember the positive in the world and try not to focus on the temporary negativity.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

That’s really great to hear and wishing you all the best in your new detailing venture! We are pretty fortunate in Melbourne and Victoria to have quite soft and low mineral content water, and add to that an indoor wash bay, and water spots during the wash stage isn’t a huge problem. I do still want a DI system at work and at hone and if I eventually get it, I’ll try and do a video on it. Generally with treating water spots, I’ll start with acid based water spot removers and then move onto something like Carpro Essence Plus is they are on a coating and I don’t want to remove it, but if they are more stubborn and have moved onto water etchings, then on most cases they will need an abrasive compound in order to remove them. I’ll also try and do a more dedicated water spot/etching video in the future! Hope that helps mare!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s crazy to think that 3yrs have passed since I made that original video! I’d firstly try a chemical to remove those spots as it is less invasive on the coating, maybe even a light 1:10 dilution of APC, and if you by chance have a steamer it could also be worth a go depending on what those spots are. Always appreciate the support and wise words mate, thanks you!

[@Knards]

Sandro, my 2 years on my UK 3.0 coating. I am considering just putting a coating of Gliss on it. But if I want to recoat it with UK 3.0, where should I start? Re-polish or just shine it up with essence or essence plus, then coat it? Have you made a video to cover this type of thing?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I’d start with a good strip down wash and decon process and then if the older coating is already on the way out and the paint isn’t too bad, you could just use Essence to prepare and correct the paint, give it a few hours to set and then re-coat.

[@vdgitaliano]

I love you friend... I have been watching from across the pacific as Australia has become an unrecognizable nation all thanks to a certain country not far from you who your own parliament has allowed in to government sessions to "advise" the Australian authorities how to best handle the pandemic, because afterall... they were the first country who dealt with it. Thank God you are with family... I would lose my mind if I was kept from my 78 yr old father or my sister.... we are all we have and if I didn't have them I don't know how I'd handle life. Always remember... family is a treasure but just like any fine jewels, it gets a little dim when you wear it all the time. sometimes it needs a loving touch to shine it back up... love and honor one another and be patient, remember you are all in this together. Love begets peace... that's what Jesus taught me and it works! I will keep you in my prayers friend, I truly do love you and your fellow countrymen. ❤

[@kakashi99908]

That is impressive for 3 years and it still beads better than most sealants! Speaking of that I haven't seen anyone do a good review of the Mothers Ultimate Hybrid Ceramic line of products it seems like a direct competitor to the Meguairs line.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I may have a new Mother’s Ultimate product coming up 😉

[@samrodgers647]

Hi Shandro. I've recently applied NV nova Evo coating to my VW Amarok based on your fantastic content. What a fantastic product. I have a question regarding a sealant topper. In the past I have used Bowden's happy ending as a topper over other paint sealants and wondering whether you would recommend continuing to use this over top of NV Nova Evo. I enjoy using happy ending as the Amarok is a big car and happy ending allows coverage of large surface areas of the car with more frequency due to the ease of application. Thanks in advance for your help

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

That’s great to hear mate! Try not to use any top sealants for the first month as Evo completely cures. Also, in colder weather you may want to wait a week and a half to two week before the first wash, and try to use a pure car soap without any additives like Nv Snow or Carpro Reset, on a retail level Meguiars Soft Wash or Bowden’s Auto body gel may be okay. Nova Boost or a light non-evasive Quick Detailer is best to use during that period - but even after that period - after maintenance washes. After that you can use more durable top sealants moving forward. I haven’t specifically tried Happy Ending with Evo, but I’d say you can try it and if you like how it performs on top it should be fine. If you find it doesn’t perform as good with Evo, you can always try another top sealant.

[@paulclaeys7631]

Hi Sandro! How often do you apply an extra layer of protection, say like, Reload or Elixir? Every maintenance wash? Or how do you see it? 👍🏼

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I’ll apply Quick Detailers like Elixir after every wash or two in general, but spray sealants like Reload, I’ll apply every 2-3 months.

[@groundcontrol6876]

Sandro, my car is also the dirtiest it's been in its whole life.. literally. I don't know when the last time I washed it was, but I'm sure it's well over 3 months ago now. It is FULL of bird droppings all over tree sap, and a whoooole lotta sand from the rains (we get a load of sahara dust transported through the atmosphere, it's amazing for the plants though! This has been one of the best summers I've had in years in terms of how profusely everything is flowering, it's absolutely amazing and just beautiful!). I really needa get around to giving my car a VERY thorough cleaning and decon and polishing it again to reapply the coating. I've neglected it for too long due to other things in my life making it impossible for me to work on my car. Yours has held up incredibly! Edit: 7:16 Yep, this can't be stressed enough. A coating will last as long as you make it last. If you're diligent with your maintenance, they can last pretty much forever. If you wash your car religiously every single week, your coating will literally perform like day 1 for multiple years, even if your car lives outside. If it's a garage queen, this effect is compounded and it could last pretty much indefinitely. NOTHING replaces good, periodic (consistent!) maintenance. That goes for any super mega performing coating as well as just a good performing wax/sealant.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

That’s great to hear with the garden and plant life and great to get and see the positives! Life gives us curve balls all the time so we just continue and move forward as best we can mate! Maintenance is really key for all paint protection and really just ensuring the vehicle doesn’t degrade rapidly! But there are more important things in life that sometimes have to take priority!

Could you use Essence Plus with a more aggressive pad or is it best to stick to a finishing pad with that product?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

A wax application or finishing pad is best as they don’t tend to have much correction ability. You could venture up to a polishing pad if you’ve got some really stubborn contamination, but just be mindful that you’re starting to add mild cut to the process rather than just allowing the cleaning solvents to do the correction.

[@Wolf-zb9qs]

Hey Sandro, How did the coating perform after essense plus , i found it killed my uk3.0 after using it with a black pad on speed 1 with no pressure. Maybe Im doing something wrong.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Using Essence Plus in the past it’s not overly hydrophobic and it’s water behaviour does diminish fairly quickly before it’s diminished itself. I can’t remember if I mention it in the video but I did top it with Nova Jet or Boost - can’t remember now specifically - but I got another good year of average performance before the coating was completely gone. For me it’s way to address any blemishes in an older coating, but it’s certainly not a cure, more of a Band-Aid before the coating is replaced.

[@Wolf-zb9qs]

Maybe it was the topper working instead of the coating?, I havent much luck testing with essence plus , both hand and machine applications, to me it seems to clog the coating. Id like to see some tests with essence. Thanks for the feedback Sandro.

You generally need to be a professional detailer which basically means you detail for money and have a registered business. But apart from that just contact the brand of coating you wish to use or try and they will all have their own way of certifying users.

[@RenoveAutoService]

Thanks for your real life review of your personal coating car Maintenance is the key for sure Keep punching your job and life in this pandemic time JF from 🇫🇷

[@iyona14granturismogt6gtspo7]

Nova Lustre for top coat!!

[@sccarguy]

Don't let life get you down,the world my never be the same again but it's positive people like yourself they may make the difference in what the world becomes. If your like me the hours spent detailing a car is the best therapy when life gets a little depressing. SHINE ON brother.

What causes some polishing compounds to "stick" becoming hard to remove while others break down evenly and remove with ease? Is it caused by heat or bad application of the product?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It can honestly be a lot of things. Different compounds have different optimal cycles so working some too long can cause it to dry, harden and strongly stick to the paint while some actually benefit from longer cycles and if you don’t work them long enough they are actually very difficult to remove. But other things like how aggressive or non-aggressive you are with method and technique as well as your pad choice can definitely alter the result. The other thing is that usually softer paints can further soften become sticky and cause the compounds to really attach to their surface. One big thing to stay on top of is residue buildup, when the pads become gunked up that excess paint and older compound residue can lead to really hard wipe offs as well! The best thing you can do is become really familiar with just a couple of compounds you like and keep on testing them with various techniques and methods until you find their sweet spot.

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thank you, Sandro! I'll keep refining my technique and stick with the products I'm used to working with. Your channel and skill mastery keeps me going. Much love from Ohio.

[@mayursinghcharan9329]

Which coting use on this car tell me. Coting company name and coting?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s in the description box, Nova Pro by Nv Car Care

[@SmokingCrop]

It's a strange thing that Covid, luckily we are almost through it in Belgium with 81,5% fully vaccinated (age 12+) & even 88,5% in Flanders (12+). Seriously don't understand the countries where people don't want to get vaccinated. Like you've already been vaccinated as a child multiple times..

[@Megalosmalakas1977]

hi sandro what's the durability and warranty of nova pro please

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I don’t think Nv is going the warranty route as it tends be a very sensationalised marketing angle, but 3-5yrs depending on how many layers, the car’s environment, maintenance and use is about right based on my experience.

[@JJS432]

Totally agree, too many companies making ridiculous claims on durability and longevity with their coatings. This is why I love Carpro! Carpro Professional coating is 2+ years longevity. 👌🏽

[@vincem5]

a beautiful looking Alfa. i had a 159 with the same front end.. loved it. yours is looking brand new still!

[@jamesmoore5337]

Sandro it looks great 👍 you are exactly right in your thinking it is not only in Melbourne it is also in the US it’s so sad that our freedoms and human rights are being stripped away just so sad I certainly get pleasure from your channel keep up the good work 👍

[@Ayerborne]

Hey Sandro thanks for the consistent content despite the hardships you are facing. If you ever want to move to Texas and start a shop here I'm game. We banned mask mandates, vaccine passports, critical race theory and a whole lot of other nonsense. In regards to coatings you inspired me to start coating my cars and I have the slickest black paint in town. It does require maintenance but the true beauty of the coating is in the ease of maintenance it affords. God Bless.

[@jehanzaibtanki6577]

Love your work bro !!!

[@GiotheGhreat]

Nice car and detailing! is so true about what you are mentioning "Ceramic coating needs lots of car or maintenance" I wash my car by hand once per week and I have 0 scratches. The ceramic helps to keep that gloss on the clear coat but it needs to be clean or sometimes a bit polishing as well.

[@cast9609]

Love the car bro. It's a shame we can't have it here in the states.

[@benrios9643]

What do you use for wheels and tires?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It was Shine Supply Wise Guy for the tyres and Nv Purge for the wheels.

[@dillonh321]

That's a nice looking Alpha. Wish we got it here in the US. It's got that aggressive and retro style that makes modern muscle cars popular here.

[@RedlioNxTR]

bravo. How long does the battery last for that polisher?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s a complex answer lol. Have a look at this video where I also cover the battery life of these cordless polishers as there’s a lot of things that will change the battery life you get! Thanks mate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2PbXmR8jq-Ze6c

[@vtecaccord96]

Keep your head up my man. It's the same craziness in the US. We will get out this and Lord willing be back to normal.

First ! Lets goo!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Almost! 🥈

[@brentonl2631]

Melbourne is my favourite holiday destination and though here in Adelaide we haven't had the pain you have and are gone through we will always stand by you in the good times and the bad. Everybody needs to vent so don't feel you are alone as the amount of subscribers show. Also nice car. Thanks for your help in these videos. Cheers Brenton.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks Brenton always appreciate the support mate!

[@hxllxman]

No apologies needed! At least I have something interesting to watch during lockdown! Hello from French Polynesia!

[@jo300hn]

Really enjoyed your insights and thanks for sharing your experience with ceramics

[@erjonjoni1434]

Thank you for updates on your country. I pray you don’t become back a prison. Stand up for your own selfs. I love you work.

[@munkskyline17]

Can you apply Nova pro on Headlights?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes

[@JamesSmith-lh3pz]

So why did you choose to use carpro essence plus and top it with a ceramic spray sealant over opting for a finishing polish then re-coating the vehicle?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Because I wanted to keep the original coating, just clean and try to remove the etchings rather than remove and start again with a fresh coating.

[@JamesSmith-lh3pz]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing In your experience then, what kind of typical durability do you see from Essence plus with toppers? Also you should take a look at IGL F4 Renew, similar product but has “graphene” infused. I’m not so impressed with the graphene but based of testing it appears to be very durable

[@Saddedude]

Nice work. Sorry about the police state situation. Canuckistan isint too far behind unfortunately

[@sappucinoo]

at 1:24 i noticed you are fan of carpro skysblue too ?:)

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes it’s great, love the smell and it lasts forever!

[@mohammadjaza681]

Hey random question can I use jet instead of boost after applying nv evo ceramic coating.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Give the coating at least one month before using Jet or Lustre, but you can use Boost 48hrs later.

[@mohammadjaza681]

Awsome thanks for your help. It's kind of to late 🤣🤣 applied it around 10 hours after. Not sure what's going to happen.

[@nattycup]

great job as always. and on the other topic: yes, it's not about health. follow the money, people.

[@mcdoob]

I’ve watched a ton of your videos but I just subscribed as a direct result of your tangent. Sorry your government has gone off the rails. Hang in there, man!

[@gianlucapisciali2843]

what a car.

[@mothermercy4746]

Hey, can you send a list of all the brushes you use please

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

They are all listed in this video with text on screen and links in the description box about 2:45mins into the video 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqO3aJeDpMt3hac

[@adhithyasodhi3203]

You're not alone in your sentiments and I suspect this is far from 'just a detailing channel' for many of us mate

[@kenezos]

Hey Sandro. Life has definitely changed. Hopefully things will get better for all of us . All the best mate and keep up the great work
