The fact that you take time out of your day to show us your masterful work and then go the extra mile for your customer shows that you truly care about what you do and are undeniably passionate about it, and that is the way to live, as far as I'm concerned. Nothing but respect and appreciation from me.
Appreciate that mate!
D33😊😂 dr om
. vhd, @@CarCraftAutoDetailing
As an 06’ C55 owner, it makes me happy to see other 55s being taken care of, in only that I could describe as “lovingly”
When the owner said "it exceeds my expectations" i felt that. What an amazing job. Learning from you would be a privilege.
Free coating, what a guy! You can't learn passion like that. Every detailer knows how much it can mean when you have a great customer, this one was awesome - cheers boss.
Absolutely, try and hold onto great clients just as you should try and surround yourself with good people in your life, it makes the journey that much better.
Sandro,
I didn’t wait for tomorrow’s coffee after all. And I’ve gotta say I think this episode is representative of your very best work. Not because you haven’t done more challenging vehicles, or because you haven’t done even higher levels of work…but because of the wisdom and production quality combined.
Anyone who aspires to do this work only has time and money as an excuse not to achieve it. That’s because you leave no rock unturned, and are literally the best detailer/instructor on all of RUclips.
Frankly, since 2020, you’re the reason I made leaps and bounds in my own work. I don’t tell people I’ve detailed since age 15 - I tell them I was professionally trained back a few years ago and continue my education on a weekly basis. 🙂
Cheers brother. Keep setting the standard.
It’s always a good sign when you can’t wait for the morning coffee to watch it 🙂
I appreciate all you do mate and it’s been an inspiration for me to hear about your selfless work towards your community. Keep the motivation and good things happening!
I had goosebumps on my arms when he showed the final results.
My uncle had this car in Nigeria. Bought it brand new. He was the man in town ridding this
I have a lot of things to say about you, Sandro, but I’ll keep it short: I wish more people were like you!
🙂 appreciate that mate.
I'm yet to watch a video from you and not learn a tremendous amount. Another "best 45 mins of my life" thank you Sandro🙏🏼keep being the very best. Cheers
Thank you mate, really nice to read that comment 🙂
As a 2006 C55 Owner. I am noticing that this car is truly a modern classic & that it can still keep up with a lot of today’s AMG’s, it was made when Mercedes-Benz was making different variants of the M113 platform i wish they made a 4MATIC version, very impressive video good job.
Respect the process....... Love these videos I plan to have download a number of these for teaching workers.
Sandro….Thanks for videos they are shot and edited perfectly on top of art work detailing. Your the man
these c55s are hidden gems. I have one and had the same treatment done, its transformed the car. Love it
Absolutely motoring gems!
That was an absolutely epic video. Thanks alot from Germany 👍🏻
What a legend and kind hearted bloke good on you mate ❤
Sandro what a great video WE need more people like you Then the world would be a much nicer place INTEGRITY and HONESTY can be hard to come by in the world we live in now. Speak with honesty Think with Sincerity Act with integrity You also go above and beyond for all your customers Its so refreshing Your always true to your self Dont ever change The car look fantastic as always Keep them coming IN Sandro we TRUST
Thank you Bob, I’m tremendously flawed as is human nature but I’m trying mate and appreciate all the awesome support for these videos.
SIMPLY SUPER VIDIO!!! THAT IS THE VIDEO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR: MERCEDES, SILVER, HARD CLEAR COAT. I HAVE THE C280 SILVER. EVERY SMALL DETAIL COMES INTO PLAY.
WELL DONE!!!
The greatest part of our journeys are the stories we get to tell. You have some amazing stories on file my man. I hope to be at your level one day 🙏
The best job-polish i have ever seen💯
@26:22 Sandro has his full body resting on the center of the hood....
Just Kidding! Great work on both the detail and the recording/editing process.
You are a true inspiration!
Thanks mate and really glad you enjoyed it!
I watch your videos as a method of leisure.
Extremely satisfying to watch your work and the result is second to none!
Wow, that turned out so nice, Sandro! And I always learn something from every one of your videos. You're not only a great detailer, but you're also a great artist and teacher, and I really do appreciate you!
Glad you enjoyed it mate, and thank you.
Yes..so rightly put.
Probably best detail video channel 👌
Wow. I have been watching detailing videos for years and have just discovered your channel. When I first saw that the video was 43 minutes long, I almost closed it but I'm so glad I didn't. You did an amazing job and you are simply a very very hard working and professional detailer. The video itself was amazing too.
I have been following quite a few professional detailers on RUclips for years now. Everyone has different approach and they are best in their own ways, but this detail let alone was on whole another level. Amazing, I have never seen any detail in such 'detail'😉. This was my first video for this channel ever and you sure have one more subscriber now. Absolutely great hard-work.
Really appreciate that and hope you enjoy more content.
Amazing work! I need to do this to my iridium silver 06' C55
Prolly the best car detailing i'v ever watched
Best detailing channel. Nicely explained steps. No bs and nice music. perfect.
Immaculate work Sandro. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything. The car looks gorgeous thanks to your expertise!
Thanks and my pleasure mate!
I have followed Sandro's method of detailing several aged vehicles, including a BMW 5x, excluding ceramic coating which I yet have to learn, and was highly complemented and was generously tipped by the customers. Respect and appreciation from me.
Really great to hear that, it says a lot when your customer wants to tip, fantastic work!
Sandro, amazing stuff as always. I think you proved that having a variety of compounds and polishes is important. After you used the microfiber pad on your test spot, it surprised me to see those results on the blue pad. That was awesome. Absolutely love hearing the guru talk paint correction. Thank you for all the content and dropping valuable knowledge!
Great job as usual! In a society where we simply toss cars a couple of years old away without any appreciation of what it took to create them, it is wonderful to see that with a little love and respect it can look as good as new.
Yes things happen on the road, but the overwhelming amount of damage done to cars is from carelessness and lack of respect for those around us.
According to international statistics 93% of accidents on the road are caused by people who have no respect or concern for others because they focused on stupid things instead of paying attention or being safe. They only focus on their needs, comfort and purpose for being on the road in the first place with no regard tthat others have a reason to be there and everyone deserves the right to arrive safe and sound. Only 7% of cars damaged or totaled are from natural disaster or the elements.
These people who race about, prioritizing their deadlines and destinations ahead of others is a prime example as to not only why the world is the way it is, but also why the elite are getting away with what they are doing. The elite provide the accusations why they are doing what they are, however, sadly we provide the undeniable proof giving them the power to do it.
The only One Who can save us now is Jesus, he always was the only way. There is an even darker winter coming this year and I pray people will get it through their heads to treat each other with kindness and respect and to pray in the face of having no hope. Jesus promised "With God, nothing is impossible".
I appreciate the 4k option!
Wow this is above and beyond a detailing lol. You did this as if it was your own vehicle and I very much appreciate it. I can guarantee that this customer will be back and he will definitely let others know about you. This is the top of the line detail and I'm impressed. I'm subbed 💯
Best detailing guru on RUclips by a country mile
🙂
That was an incredible detail, I'm sure the client was over the moon as we could hear from this reaction at the end. You always go further than anyone's expectations and your channel is the best of its kind on YT. Someone with this kind of passion makes we want to find something I love to do as well. Great work mate!
What a work on such a amazing car with your extra ordinary knowledge. Your experience and knowledge is outstanding. Even car company also cant do this well. I dont have words to praise you.
to watch a true professional at work and who loves his job is amazing. Tip of the hat to you sir.
Amazing work! I own a mars red C55 and I love it! Hard to find some parts but it is worth keeping them alive and on the road. A true testament to the AMG name.
Thanks and most definitely worth keeping the few that are left in great condition and passing them on so the next generation can appreciate them!
WoW 🤩 this is a detailer! Greet job. Fantastic work 👍
Thank you for the excellent education! I learn so much from how you deal with the more difficult aspects of a detail. Grateful for you Sandro!
Thank you and really nice to hear that.
What a channel my friend, best detailing channel i have come across on youtube, I've watched 100's of videos and yours are by far the best, keep up the good work 👍, literally come across your channel today and I've learnt so much already
Really to hear that, thanks so much!
Looks AMAZING!!!
I really love that aquatouch Big Fella but nothing beats “ Old Barney “ 🦖🤣👍🏻
🙂
Epic video. Thank you for continuing to make these events after the hard times this past couple yrs.
I corrected a 2008 E350 that Paiint is HARD!! Specially the trunk area has many difficult areas.
One of the best detailing videos I have ever seen! (and I have seen quite a lot;))
Your life lessons are always appreciated.
Excellent quality above and beyond work sir! ✔️👍🙌🙏
Thanks mate
Dang Sandro....what a great job! You do such great work.
Wow! Shared to my C55 Facebook group. Respect
I hope the group enjoys it!
For your next challenge I would like to see you detail a car, but only using armour all products. 🥰 love your channel!
Great job on German paint which is really worth it. It’s a respect from me.
Mate you are an absolute wizard!
It’s a dream of mine to one day have a car worthy of this treatment and have you detail it for me. Thanks for your awesome videos and inspiring work.
This car definitely owes you a steak dinner. Awesome work and thanks for all of the great tips!
Fantastic!
A thoroughly excellent attitude, result and video - as usual…
Thank you for your work.
🙏👏🖖
Amazing!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 enjoy seeing the C55 get done love!
Wow. Great information! I appreciate your measured approach to decide the process of cutting the paint. I learned so much here.
Pure Genius!! 😲
Better than Mozart's 5 Synphony 🎼
Your level of videography, teaching & dramatic detail results are second to none!
Bravo mate...👏
Looks so nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Germany here 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
One of the most motivating videos I've seen for a while. There is a real joy to watching video content where the creator has a lot of integrity. It is hard to come across well but this is something you do effortlessly. Im always motivated by your uploads but this one especially and particularly when you have gone out of your way to go the extra mile for a nice client. THAT is what it is all about in my eyes. Supporting good people. I would always rather make less money and do right by people.
I have a channel and put some videos up myself and my latest video featured my old Z3 that came back to me for some refurbishment work. I'm not at your level but I hope I ended up doing a great job despite some issues I had along the way. Again the owner is such a lovely guy and that makes those types of job an absolute pleasure. Thanks again for taking the time to create this.
Great post. There is hope on the internet after all.
Greatly appreciate that mate and couldn’t agree more, good people doing good things is what it’s all about and is certainly a great motivator.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing An absolute pleasure! Keep doing what you do!
Amazing. Your detailing tips and experience is something else, video quality is out of this world too.
Thank you for this
Really glad you enjoyed it.
This is so therapeutic to watch. And that is a Handsome Merc.
This guy knows how to wash a car properly
Wow incredible transformation! Was secretly hoping for a novo boost v2 review, but this was a pleasure to watch and learn from. Such a nice touch to use Beadlock to protect all your work keep up the fantastic work !
Great job as always Sandro love the work and also since you been displaying the products you use every step it’s so great and honest of you.
Can you play one day do a video on cleaning and restoring all of a vehicles rubbers and seals such as sunroof seals, door seals, window seals, all the rubbers and seals that would be so amazing since I haven’t really seen a professional level video such as yours on the subject. Thanks keep it up my guy.
Thanks mate and I think if the right car comes along it could be a great area to focus on!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing YES ! 🥳
Beautiful work, dude. You're batting 1000, mate. Such nice work.
And you have character and a spine, too. Good on you, brother.
Great work! 👍 👍 👍.The joy of the customer is the most beautiful reward!!, Impressive professionalism! The tire dressing applicator was indeed a meguiar's?. I love this applicator with that plastic shell and keeping my hands clean.
Thanks mate and in the end I’m in customer service so making sure they are happy is always essential. It was an Nv tyre applicator but it sounds similar to the Meguiars one.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks! 👍
This is amazing work. Never seen such dedication for a customer. A big cheers to you
Wow! Sandro, amazing work! There is something special with silver cars. They just seem to pop. Looking forward to to more amazing transformations.👍
First 3 minutes into the video and I've become your fan..now I'll watch the whole video 😊
Sandro, you are on point about acid ruining side mirrors. The other thing is harsh acids that do a great job taking water spots on side and back glass, they can really haze a windshield where there are the usual wiper abrasions. If that happens, it’s a huge project with cerium oxide to polish that.
Yes it’s been a journey detailing with highs and lows and you need to learn from mistakes and that the quickest root isn’t always the best one when risk vs reward is weighted up!
What a great video about fantastic car! I am in jealousy to the owner and I see how much love he gave to this beauty to make it run properly. Rims coating confirms that)
I have noticed you have a new drying towel or at least I didn’t see this colour before)
Very useful trick about Essence + on moldings - didn’t know about that - thanks!
And as always - great to hear owner’s reaction! After we have seen he protected rims we know he understand the result more than majority.
Enjoyable movie Sandro and fantastic job behind the scenes as well, thanks and cheers from Sweden!
Thanks Sergey, it really was a fantastic to work on and a great client, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video!
Extraordinary work!
Incredible work Sandro
I miss these videos so much Sandro ... hell yeah.
You always achieve amazing results. Always love your work (detailing and video production).
Incredible work. Most beautiful finish ever. Love it.
True art, you do such an amazing job. The way you explain everything is amazing. Absolutely amazing work.
Amazing, absolutely on another level. Cant say anything that has not already been said. Liked and subbed.
Man the work on this Mercedes is incredible. Outstanding video!
Awesome video as usual Sandro thank you for the the meticulous work and effort you put in for us your loyal fans & viewers. Well done 🙏🌎 also I really enjoyed the music, so chilled. 👍🏻
Beautiful work for a beautiful car. Well done bud
I know someone who has one of these as a daily has a few miles on but still a lovely reliable car
230k
Wow, only a hundred or so left in existence? Didn't realize it was that rare!
Detailing excellence. Truly outstanding work, Sandro.
It was wonderful Sandro!!! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing result! Looks brand new :D Great job man!!!
Thank you mate!
Your work is amazing Sandro wish I could have visited when I was in oz working for a year from the uk keep it up
There’s a couple things that stood out to me here. Instead of pressure washing with just water he sprayed product onto the paint without rinsing. Also after the iron remover was applied he foam cannoned right over it before washing it off. I didn’t know you could do that and learned something new.
Simply amazing work! The quality of work and end results are always amazing. Love your videos.
Beautiful job. That Mercedes 744 Brilliant Metallic is an amazingly durable, quality paint too. Same stuff on my 2002 C230 Kompressor. Its been so low maintainece but I really need to do a strip/clay/correction to keep it looking good.
Glass edges are often missed you have done a really good job. I have a Flex PXE with an extension bar and use exactly the same process.
You did a great job, keep up the good work
Thanks mate!
Picking up my 2006 c55 this weekend. Definitely gonna need a detail like this. Amazing work sir!
Absolutely awesome work
Great Job!!!
Outstanding work Sandro! I am loving these polish and pad comparisons! Thank you so much for sharing your work!!! 👊
Thanks and my pleasure mate, glad you enjoyed it.
I didn't even knew/remembered the C55 existed
Yes there’s even the original C36 AMG, very rare cars and certainly not the larger volume AMGs made today!
You really captured your experience on camera. Really interesting how you showed us ultimate wipe off time. Never seen that in any video.
Beautiful results as always.
Cheers
You definitely got a costumer for life I’m sure for doing that costing on the house. Anyone what details knows how it felt. You want to do the best job possible every time. BTW that thing looked amazing thanks to you. Great video
I would love to see a interior and engine bay detail in this car
