The majority of people that work their asses off to earn their dream car would want someone focusing on quality, detail, and performance of product like you are. Keep it up and you will build a reputation of trustworthiness, good communication, and very high quality work.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks for watching Curt! I hope Status as a Brand can be known for all the things you just said! That's the goal.

[@lees5761]

100% agree with your philosophy. I've been self-employed for 30 years in the IT business. I always do work the right way. Not the cheapest or fastest way. Love your videos man.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

That's the only way 🤝 Thanks for watching 🙂👍

[@hotzone84]

Man I love watching your videos and you are one of the best in the game . There’s always will be hater but your work is just insane and flawless ! Idk how you don’t have more subs cuz you are by far one of the best in the game !! Salut n respect to you sir

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thank you very much and that's very kind of you to say! The channel has definitely been experiencing rapid growth! With great followers like yourself I believe the channel will grow even quicker and have a pretty awesome following of crazy awesome car enthusiasts! I have some really great videos planned to keep things moving forward!

[@RealExpertsPro]

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Grateful for incredible customers like yourself 🙂🙂🤝

[@javigarcia3823]

Thanks for the honesty. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. Tune out the noise. You’re on the right path.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Appreciate you Javi. 🙂

[@davidbrown5785]

Your initial feelings about PPF is how I found your channel and subscribed. First, I think it show growth and maturity to say that you’ve changed your mind on a subject, especially one that you were very vocal about, so tip of the hat to you. As for the rest, PPF is just like tint, lowering cars and aftermarket wheels. There are many who think you’re not living or using a car right without these things, which of course is not true. The key here is to be a decent business person and educate your customers on why they may or may not need your services and don’t do the slimy upsell. Keep up the good work sir!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

I'm very good at many things and still learning many things. Happy to share my journey with you all as I figure things out. Ppf has it's place in the detailing world. But it has to be done right. Having great companies and products like Stek has really opened my eyes a lot. Having the ppf be so clear and have so little orange peel really changed my opinion! Now it's just down to figuring out the install process to status spec and then giving the customer service I am known for but within th ppf arena.

[@rogueelement9986]

Good stuff man, I definitely agree with going for your passion vs only looking through a lens of money.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

I believe both routes work and have nothing against either direction as mentioned in the video. I'm just wired to follow my passion. I'd rather feel fullfiled and happy to go to work because it's fun as the reward. Instead of go to work because money is the reward. That's when it becomes "work" I haven't "worked" for 7 years. That's when this business was started.

[@rogueelement9986]

@@STATUSDETAIL I totally dig that. I’m basically trying to find that myself!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@rogueelement9986 it's a great path to follow in my opinion 🙂

[@1ahozz]

Finally a video that explains this kind of situation

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Not many people talk about it because most shops lost focus on why they started and are now dialed into how many locations can they open. My goal will never be how many locations can I open it will be how many cars can I do perfectly.

[@1ahozz]

@@STATUSDETAIL I seen the click and bait trick all the time , it’s crazy that some people in this Industry still get away with hazy scratching details but have so many clients base . And quality is not there just wanna get em in and out seems But customers don’t know and still pay but are cheap.

[@cformyohoe]

eye opening!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

👍🙂

[@thomasstapel6824]

I am an enthusiast car care person all my life and passionate about the things I work on. One parallel to what is being discussed is furniture that produced by CNC machines mass production like Ikea vs hand made furniture. And of course the difference in cost between the two is vast. But when it comes to quality and longevity the hand made furniture far exceeds the mass produced CNC machine made stuff.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Interesting about the man vs machine made. Even the au art vs real human art. When you put a real person with passion behind something you usually get a little something extra 👍

[@joevanseeters2873]

I always crack up at the haters on social media. Here's their knowledge of PPF.........."PP what?" "PP.?....Oh yeah, my dog went pee pee" Your subscribers and followers totally get what you are doing, and really enjoy your candor and bringing your knowledge and expertise to us enthusiasts out here.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Glad you are enjoying the content and my approach to KZbin 🙂 Many more videos coming very soon

[@smith_grind5269]

Great video. Well said 👏🏼👏🏼

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks for watching 👍🙂

[@grissom2513]

Great video Evan. Don’t listen to the hate, I love what your doing and am excited for you. I used to be so against ppf due to the haze and orange peel. I may look into getting my truck done possibly by you or someone near me who used that film

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Definitely checkout Stek. It's changed my mind on a lot. Including the Stek employees who have been great and supportive. Can't say the same from other PPF companies lol

[@jrphoto8179]

This is the best video and absolutely the truth I wish I could have taken my car to status detail instead of the crappy detail shop here in Nashville that did a horrible job on my Lexus! Live and learn ughh … keep these amazing Videos coming 🙌

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Sorry that to hear about the bad experience! Glad your enjoying the videos 🙂🙂

[@Jmarshallw56]

Awesome video.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks!

[@The_Nomad_Detailer]

Its weird how much like minded stuff you are speaking lol. I run my business just like you are....I have never seen this video, and this all sounds to familiar! Im on your heals man lol! just kidding, there enough our there for everyone. Im in Central, IL about 2hrs south of you. I am growing my business like yourself. I've been detailing 20+ years, just started my own shop 3 years ago. Its not all about making money man, I like what your doing. Lets go man! keep doing it your definitely a staple in our industry!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad other detailers listen to this and feel it's accurate. Many think I'm crazy to make videos like this. Just get 20 employees and pump work out fast

[@The_Nomad_Detailer]

@@STATUSDETAIL Absolutely man, and nope having employees isnt the only way to scale, and isnt the only way to be successful. I got into this business the same reason you did... I'm a gear head, car freak lol. Always have been! my goal is to be perfecting these beautiful high end cars like yourself as soon as I can. They seem to be leaving dealerships with more defects than brand new jeeps..... like I just finished coating today, it was almost perfect! It was also black of all colors. People who love their cars, deserve to have them perfect.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@The_Nomad_Detailer agreed 👍👍

[@Calendyr]

Sounds like the PPF installers are working on the same business model as hand wash car washes. The only important aspect is the speed at which you can complete the work. You will very likely have to charge more to install correctly, but there is a market for that just like there is a market for high end detailing.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Definitely a range of ppf pricing and that sliding scale will certainly match quality of install and typically match quality of customer service before during and after installation. As I mentioned in the video I have nothing against anyone making a living and going after millions of dollars. More power to you and whatever makes you happy! I am fortunate to understand I'm most happy when I'm diving deep into my passion of high end detailing. My passion is in my effort to be the best and share my journey on social media. I'm just confident that this path has a destination that just so happens to fullfill my finical goals. Thanks for watching 🙂🙂

[@YK-Youtube]

I have huge admiration to people who have pride in what they do and perfect skills! Inspiring! Still debating PPF for our new car. I do not care too much perfection in car but want to care for it. Would PPF helps cost of fixing paint damage scratches? If we do not fix rock chips and scratches in time, will car paint or steel/aluminum(?) below will degrade and cause long term issues?? Or just purely cosmetics? Thank you.

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks for watching! In general PPF should stop chips and reduce scratchers or prevent them. But your ppf can get chips and tonic that you will need to replace it. So pros and cons.

[@YK-Youtube]

@@STATUSDETAIL Thank you for prompt reply!!! Funny thing is I am an in interior designer and we use Llumar and 3M window films for houses. They make PPFs. Stay passionate about what you do and inspire us! 😊

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@YK-KZbin that's interesting! More videos coming soon 🙂👍

[@aliceburte9278]

How can you say that you know XPEL is KING !!!!! LOL just kidding Been watching your videos for awhile now been into car detailing for a long time coatings,polishing you name it You know your business you know how to do what you are doing .As they say haters are going to hate and nobody can tell them that possibly someone came out with a better product? NO ! Don’t say it !! Do your thing buddy you do it well 👍

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Thanks! I definitely believe Stek makes a killer product. I show all my customers asking for ppf the Stek vs Xpel video. The facts are clear 👍

[@ricklong3218]

Just found the channel and I like what I'm seeing, this pushed me over the top. I have a lot to say about this. But I will only say one thing. Some of the most miserable, unhappy, unstable f*cks on the planet are the richest people in the world. If you're not right with yourself and don't have passion for what you do, good luck!

[@STATUSDETAIL]

I see a lot of very wealthy people in my line of work. How people act in public is obviously often different than how they act in private. But many of them are very happy or at least very kind and generous to me. But what you said definitely wasn't inaccurate. Unfortunately many wealthy people are unhappy for various reasons. Thanks for watching the videos!

[@revums]

So what questions would you ask an installer to vet the quality of their work?

[@STATUSDETAIL]

Can I see a completed car you have done. And then go check it out! If you are happy you are ready to schedule If a edge lifts will you fix it free. Do you edge cut or try and wrap every edge. Should I expect dust in the film or is I rare.

[@revums]

@@STATUSDETAIL What answer am I looking for to edge cut? "It is not feasible to wrap every edge, but we try to wrap every edge where possible?" Appreciate the response. Not about to drive my car halfway across the country for the Chicagoland perfection job. :D Also, wrappers removing lamps, sidemarkers, door handles... yay or nay?

[@STATUSDETAIL]

@@revums Yes you can rap a lot of edges but not everything's going to be able to be wrapped it's just depends on how the panels line up and how they look. You can remove certain things on the install might be slightly better but sometimes it'll be about the same but you'll definitely pay more. Usually significantly more so it kind of becomes a question for you
