Their companies that charge more than this and don't actually figure the shipping cost into the price. This is not the most expensive detail you can find if you know where to look.
Topaz is the best detailers in the world. no clue their prices. but i bet they are 10000x times better than this guy will ever dream to be and are a fraction the costs
@@SourBogBubblewhat are you basing that on? Have you compared their work? Topaz are a completely different type of business model and service than Status Detail.
As a DIY detailer I appreciate your attention to detail and learn a lot from watching professionals such as yourself. I understand all the comments that say the price for this service is a tad ridiculous. I also understand that using a top-tier product is not cheap and neither is all the experience required to install it correctly! The old adage will always stand, cheap price = cheap job. If I wanted a PPF installed on a supercar to be able to protect my investment…I know who to call to have it done properly!
I'll be the first one to tell you I'm expensive lol. I tell everybody including customers you can find a less expensive job. But it won't be the same experience. When you own such a expensive car the extra few thousand dollars is like deciding if you want Fry's with your burger. It's not a big deal one way or another. Some people do go to the less expensive places too. No problem with me. Gotta do what's best for you! Thanks for commenting 🙂🙂
this man wakes up and loves his business. super impressed by this level of detail! I’d spend the money for the caliber of work just for the man himself - stellar.
just spent 7k to paint correct, polish , ppf and ultimate detail my brand new m240i. i went back to the dealer to get some service done parked it next to the same car same color as mine and made the oem finish look like trash. its WELL worth doing it right when you got a fresh new paint job.
@@Gborohooo everyone values services differently. Some people won't spend more than $30 at the ultimate automatic car wash. Some will spend over 20k so it's all relative to the owner and how much they value the car and the work being done. And nuclear I'm not talking about value in the sense of appreciation or depreciation I'm talking about personal value like the love, passion and enjoyment you get from your car because being happy in that sense is not something that can have a value assigned to it. So if you can afford the service most will do it it a heartbeat
@@Gborohooo it also makes 1400awhp and has 6k dollar 18lb beadlocks, a 26k dollar 3.3l titan motorsports engine, a 5.5k 7480 precision turbo, 4k dollar intake manifold, 6k dollar titanium exhaust/manifold. 5k dollar fuel system, 20k dollar transmission and is about to run 7 second quarter mile. if youre poor just say that bro. i drive the car 200+ miles per day to work and back. its full PPF for a reason. if u dont like ppf, dont put it on your dodge neon.
@@Mp-jw1qg you said it's brand new and you take it to the dealership for work lmfao neither of those are true for anyone building a car like you just mentioned. People jsut lie on the internet for no reason 😭
@@brandenjohnson6586 I contract in a guy who has been doing it longer. He did a lot of the PPF. I helped and hood myself to a high standard. I say that about the entire experience really. Stand behind it 1000% percent. I detail to a unreasonablely high standard.
Blown away by the video, editing, and commentary! You hit all the points. Impressive, informative, educational and all the words! You do you b/c its amazing!
@STATUSDETAIL yes they know the price up front, but you market the service as if you do a lot more than other detail providers. Other than the shipping, others do the same process for half the price. If you really do more, show the work being done in the video. No hate, as long as you market to the clients you want and it works, more power to you. Good business model
@@veteransforequality7347 all my videos show the work. That's why I'm booked for months. I market that I do the best work with the best customer service. You just seem to be struggling with the price. Nothing wrong with that. I promise I won't force you to send your car here lol
Love the new video. A GTR is on my dream car list. I really appreciate all the effort you put into this content. Thank you Evan for the behind the scenes on another crazy detail.
18k, come on. I get it's a lot of work, but 18k. This is why your local guy gets mad about just charging 250 for a Basic, in and out detail. He starts to feel he's undercharging.
@STATUSDETAIL , it costs under $2k for an enclosed carrier shipment of a car from CA to NY. You know you guys profited hella bank off of this. The fact that YOU brought up the $18k and are acting like a huge portion of that is going to shipping gives sleazy used car salesman vibes. You put $18k for the click bait and people are (appropriately) calling you out for it. I don't think I've ever seen AMMO NYC tallk about price in a video, but everyone knows he charges 4-figures for a wash. But no one calls him out even though he's making bank on it cuz he doesn't click bait people with it and cower behind, "Oh but there's shipping."
@@Alimoalem click bait would mean the customer didn't pay that amount total to do this job. But he did. It's not click bait. I am not ammo. I title my videos differently.
It's funny how little some people understand that $18k is probably insignificant to people that buy these types of cars - it's not like they saved up for 40 years to finally buy this car. This is a really good job! Hope your success continues to grow!
Status Detail is the real deal! Just bought a new car and emailed them about a similar job. Evan was extremely helpful and took the time to educated me on allot of things that helped me out. In the end it helped me find a local shop. I was going to send it out to status but I drive my cars and would have been an inconvenience to send it out every time I need a panel redone due to me driving the car and my OCD about scratches. As for the 18k price ... It is what it is. My local shop is charging me 11k for the work which is about what Evan would have charged minus the shipping. You pay for the time it takes to do the job properly and the skill level of the installer. I was going for a Matt PPF over a gloss paint and for that, install quality trumps all. The folks that complain about the cost are not the clients that would pay for or even appreciate the effort it takes to do things properly. Great vid Evan and great job on the GT-R! Oh and apologies for not returning the last email. I have been swamped with work.
No problem at all 🙂 Thank you for watching! And appreciate the pricing in your comment. When you figure in my price minus shipping I'm typically more but obviously very competitive considering the product I turn out. So for many people the shipping as seen as no big deal to just make sure it's done perfectly. Almost like buying insurance. A status detail is a pretty sure thing lol. But shippya car is a bit inconvenient for some and well it can be expensive so it won't be for everyone. Glad you got your car squared away and hope you enjoy many fun miles with it 🙂👍🤝
Honestly all I got was you repeating your self about nothing , no disrespect. Now watch a video with Larry of ammo ,and he educates you on pads, sanding ,liquids, everything , dude has his products . I think you have to know a little something to do that .and I think that he is a blessing to your industry because he's probably so busy that he created a need and lots of retailers like you filled that need and I just think that all that MOney talk is better left private you and your client and just be humble. Thank you and great work God bless you
I was literally searching the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one thinking this. Dude doesn’t seem humble at all and the demeanor of his business is something I don’t get. I would recommend for him to be more educational, less “we do it best” and just a little less focused on how “perfect and better he is” his work looks nice. Not taking that away from him. However as a viewer, all I heard was “I’m the shit, everyone else is meh because they’re not blessed to have such cars”. I know so many installers that put out the same work and they all think they’re the best in the world. That 18k is wild tho good lord 😂 18k is money you pay for like actual unique custom art. Not a ppf job,
@@Joey_Maldo_15 check out my other videos. Lots of diy educational stuff. If you watched this video you know I said I'll be teaching many advanced PPF things in coming videos for free. Many people charge hundreds of dollars for online classes that will be nearly identical digital content. In previous videos I get comments saying I'm giving away all my secrets lol. Appreciate you watching 🙂
I work at a body shop nd i was able to paint my 96 accord coupe nd i spray 5 coats of clear. Wet sanded nd buffed without a worry of burning thats y i went extra wet coats nd man it looked better than the mercedes we had for how glossy it came out.
My OCD approves this video. Insane attention to detail, to me it is a no brainer. if someone can afford this car and wants to future proof its condition, 18k is not at all difficult to part with. well done guys, fantastic result and skill displayed!
When you think about it, it’s just like adding another option to the car from the dealership, or going from base model to AMG. You’re paying a nice chunk of change to keep the car super clean and extra glossy for a really long time. In that sense, kind of worth it. I’m sure it’s just 18k for this car. And if you have enough money to pay for this car, 18k really is just a drop in the bucket 🤷🏻♂️
@@pogonomyrmexrugosus6240 true. Can be said about virtually everything. But we all work hard and then find value in different things. I would own many rare fun cars. Others would spend the same amount on watched. Neither of us wrong. Just find out enjoyment with different things.
This is like paying 1k for the best ass wiping available 😂. No matter how good it is, paying 18k for cleaning and protection is just as insane. Stupid is stupid does.
I paid 3. 00 at my local do it yourself carwash and my car looks brand new. Paying that much for a detail just goes to show you "there's a sucker born every minute" as PT Barnum use to say😅😅😅😅😅😅
Many car enthusiasts and detail enthusiasts unfortunately think you are the fool to do a $3 wash. Don't shoot the messenger. This is just the conversation anoung the detailing communities.
Damn , 18k is just crazy , for a few hours of work , good job , if you’re articulate with your words , you can definitely hustle customers , some ppl aren’t ethical. You work on a car that is rare , but you do the same work on a mustang, so you price gouge. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing work. Guys, he’s not doing a Honda Civic, he’s doing a limited edition car. It’s the equivalent of a surgeon, do you want the cheapest surgeon or the top 10 surgeon doing your heart surgery?
thank you for the work you put into these details and videos! youve essentially been my teacher helping me get into the base level of detailing, i aspire to be at the level you work at some day
You have to be ignorant to think 18 k is a lot for a 220k car. I mean, ppl spend 9k on ppf on a 2023 bmw m3 worth 80k and you see them in every parking lot. You did a detail, paint correction and ppf. Definitely a good price if you ask me. Keep up the good work man.
Thanks! The car cost more than that used now. Because it's so rare. Agreed with what you said but remember it included shipping to and from New York too!
Labor is labor cost of the vehicle has ZERO to do what is charged. I work on private and commercial jets. There is no car that even comes close to jet maintenance costs. A detail on a 20 million dollar airplane I could not charge 18k.
@@MiturBinEsderty maybe your not very good at business? I could charge eat more than 18k on a 20 mil airplane lol When you buy a car like this or a Porsche or Ferrari you will notice the cost of the car and the options. They all also include destination charge. Literally every new Porsche lists it in the build sheet and the window sticker. They actually charge you more to do it at a delivery center for the experience but that's slightly different conversion. The is the manufacturer is literally doing the opposite of what you described. If you buy $5 paper towels online with $10 shipping it cost you $15 to almost paper towels. If you walk down the street and buy in person it's $5. Service is similar to minor offered local. So if you send the car to me the cost of the shipping is obviously part of the cost of getting the job done. If it wasn't then we would have so many more customers because shipping is the biggest return for a lot of people. It's also why you can't compare my price to somebody else's because the shipping will always ruin the pricing structure and make me obviously more expensive. So you have to ship a car here because you want me to do it and you know I'm going to do it perfectly not because of the price.
For those interested this shop is located in Aurora, IL, United States. Hey Status Detail, you should post your address and location in both the description of your videos, and on your webpage. I had to dig a little to find your location. For a business such as yours, finding your location should NOT be so difficult! Great work, and I hope to be able to use your service soon.
@@ptick16 I make it difficult on purpose lol. We don't need people stopping by or the wrong attention due to working on what I work on. I'm appointment only call email any time. The address is only given to customers. Feel free to edit the city out of that comment lol Glad you're enjoying the videos 🙂
Wouldn’t think the wheels would need to come off on this detail or car, with 100 miles, there is no grime or build up on the suspension components or behind the wheels. It’s literally brand new, the focus was paint correction and protection with attention to detail at a high level.
This guy gets it lol. Also their carbon ceramic brakes even if he drove a thousand miles there'd be like zero brake dust. Thank you for contributing the common sense that's missing from several of the other comments lol 🤝🤝🙂👍
This car looks like it has the same paint color as my Dark Horse. I understand protecting a car this rare and desirable, but man you can do a lot with $18k. I can get a Whipple or VMP supercharger and add 300 more horsepower and have money to buy some nice carbon fiber body panels or something. Excellent job on the car!
@@archiethedog4515 thanks! Your comparing a 300k plus car to a sub 6 figure car. This guy could buy 2 more cars like this and do equal details. The comparison is different. Car owners like this just want it perfect and with no hiccups or accidents along the way. We do it perfectly and safely and slowly. The result of mashing those three things together is 💵💵💵 lol. Dark horse is dope btw. I kinda want a gt350r! I like a good mustang lol
@@STATUSDETAIL I am not at all saying what you've charged is unreasonable. It's like paying $100k on a picture frame for art that's worth millions. Totally different level of investment.
Having that "OCD" is a double edged sword. I feel it is a very good thing when it comes to detailing a car. If i had a card that needed all of this and i had the mobey.. i most certainly would good to you.
It's completely normal unfortunately. You can see in my other videos we've had things even more extreme than this on cars equally as expensive. I have more videos coming soon of cars that have crazy issues and have 50 miles or less on them.
All i know is these guys must be rich if theyre charging this price and they have customers. Their overhead costs for this video are TINY compared to $18k. Good job.
@@teeimsaza5718 you think my cost is small? To film. Edit. Produce the content plus do all the work plus pay my guy and materials insurance etc etc. Go open your own business. Do your very best to copy my business and let me know how it goes. Genuinely wishing you luck. The odds say you file bankruptcy and dissolve the company after a few years. Good work and good business practices with this production quality is hard to do on a budget.
Why aren’t you cutting the ppf with a printer? Cutting on paint is bound to result in a slip and cut paint. If the details cost this much you should expect that type of product
A plotter will not be as good as bulking. Many panels can only be done seamless by bulking. Plotter installs will always be worse. Plotter installs still require cutting because every panel won't line up perfect. If you don't cut often your more likely to cut paint as plotter installers don't cut as much as we do. Most important rare cars don't have plotter software. The software only helps if someone can scan the car and create the plotter format for it. So brand new rare cars must bulk cut.
What’s the best way to clean door jambs and with what brush and product? Also, how do you go about water spots and avoiding it? Keep up the great work !
@@E.D.M.Detailing avoid water spots by working in shade. Cool car so never after drive or in sun . Door jams are ceramic coated. They should stay pretty clean. Blow dry after wash then quick Detailer or something like cure or C2 and a plush microfiber.
18k could probably beef up that transmission and dif to actually have it do what it was intended lmao. I respect the dedication to the craft and the owner's love for the car but nobody will ever notice what actually went into the detailing and the excitement of having it done will wear off in a month.
@@throughdude23 people who know PPF will know why it cost that much. People that don't know won't even know it has PPF and that's the point. Price included shipping. Appreciate your appreciation for the craft 🤝🙂
Some people have been very fortunate to unlock a lot of wealth. All my customers are very hard working people. Almost all of them self made business owners.
Not sure what your seeing. Might be a weird light reflection. On our if state cars they often stay with me a few days after completion so I can check for this very issue! This was done a long time ago so I don't remember but it's safe to say I found things and re heated it trimmed any problem spots 👍
Hello Evan (correct name?), this is Georgios from Greece! As profesional detailers we know that a brand new car is not in "really brand new contition". Thiw is the answer to them who says why 18.000 for a new car etc. You made really nice job and at he end of the day the GTR looks sooooooo nice!!! Congrats!!!
It is exceedingly rare to find decent work, let alone the level of obsession seen in your work. Bravo. Trust is priceless because mistakes are often irreparable…. Are you still using carpro gel in with the slip solution? Or what are you using for slip with the STEK? Keep up the good work. Inspiring stuff
Thank you. You definitely understand! Interestingly enough the last week and a half or two weeks I totally stopped using gel. I have found that using no gel is way way way way way way way way...m better lol. I think as I was learning I felt like gel was this magic thing that probably built in some fake confidence. Now that I'm very proficient it installing film and I dropped the gel I realized that it's actually way easier to install without it. The gel actually makes it stick faster which can be helpful on maybe smaller panels but on the more complicated larger panels it causes actually a lot of problems because it's just soap and water gives you way more working time and will reduce lines in other issues. So for the foreseeable future I'm just on j&j soap and di water.
@@STATUSDETAIL Hahaha, good to know! Thanks for sharing your experience. You're top class. What about for your tack? Are you using standard isopropyl mix? I can't wait for the advanced PPF videos! Did you say you're using steamers now? Best regards
@@frankl9098 Yes I'm definitely using steam now. It's handy for a lot of different things I'll try and show that in some videos or at least talk about it. I think I use like 91% or 93% ISO. I mix 7ml into 1,000 ml of water I believe. I use gallons of distilled baby water from grocery store. Glad you're enjoying the videos 🙂🤝🤝
The dealership more then likely received it from Nissan Japan with a protective plastic layer of film over the paint.... hence all the swirlies in a fresh OEM paint that should be a beautiful mirror finish! ESPECIALLY if any spec of dust landed right before it was applied and the expansion and contraction that occurs while sitting in a shipping container above 100F deg in the day.... then 60's at night maybe!?!? Thats pretty melty temps and drastic changes!? Idk that's the first thing that came to mind in the beginning @ 4mins, it left swirly adhesive residue all over!?!?
To all the people throwing shade, you obviously didnt watch the whole video, or pay attention to anything this gentleman said. Aside from the extensive knowledge he has of his field, the work he did was so meticulously done. And just to be clear, if someone has the money to buy a car this expensive, they more than likely have the money to protect it if they wanted to. When i have the opportunity to own a car of this caliber it will be sent straight to him and paul. Well done boys!
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately lots of people often don't understand or simply don't watch for more than one minute then make a comment lol. Appreciate your comment 🙂🤝👍 im scheduled into almost Sept with jobs basically identical to this. So we know our customers and our customers know what they want 👍
I honestly did not even know that PPF was a thing. I saw you wrapping it in a clear sheet and was like "WTF?". Lol. 18k is up there, but god damn, man. You do really good work. You and your crew. Whats your most favorite car you have detailed up?
Thanks! Yes ppf is kinda weird cool stuff haha. Oh I have done so many cool ones. The 992 GT3 RS was cool. The 993 air cooled Porsche had the best story. Vid of that in my channel. The hyper cars where cool but I didn't install ppf back then.
@@STATUSDETAIL It must be crazy to be able to work on such high end cars. It also must be make you proud of yourself and your team to have worked so hard to get that point. I'd love to find a job working on or with cars. I've always been into cars. Customizing, racing, and just about everything else, lol.
@@douggoins2960 definitely grateful that have reached this point. I'm a one man show and Paul is a big help! But Paul joined in in the last 2 ish years out of 8-9 years of business. So the team was largely me grinding for a long time lol. Didn't start with cool cars ! It was lots of sports cars and occasionally doing a Porsche or M5 etc. But I slowly grew into doing amazing cars everyday. Lucky to have found Paul too! He's been a great help !
Idk what polish youre using but ive used all the big names, Koch chemie, Oberk, Rupes, Carpro, etc, etc, etc and the best polish with the highest working time and literally no dust whatsoever is 3D one. No need to wet the pad or anything. Specially for ppl. Its ahead of optimum hyper polish as its not as heavy and not oily or anything. Its literally the perfect polih and can cut just as good as the best compound with the right pad. Theres no byproduct on 3D one at all. And if youre not cleaning your pads in between panels anyways idk. Because a pad is going to clog regardless if the polish dusts or not. And im sure you know that when the pad clogs it diminishes the pads ability to do its only job. I switch to a new pad every section of every panel and when im finally out of pads i clean them quick and start the process over. Takes about 20 seconds a pad.
I use CarPro reflect and ultra cut currently. Rupes previously before they redid everything. No dust is not necessarily good. I spoke about that in the video 👍
@@STATUSDETAIL I get what you’re saying about trade offs but just try 3D one and see if it works. I started using it because at first I was mobile so doing multiple washes was kind of out of the question when I needed to get everything done within 12 hours. Sure you can wipe 99% of the dust off on the panel wipe down but you really gotta wipe the panels twice as the dust will rehydrate and I’m not 100% confident the first wipe is picking all of it up. I used to use rupes also but it was literally like saw dust it was so horrible. Oberk is better but still dusts bad but I like going from cutting right into polishing without having to wipe the panels as they work great together like that. The 3D one has no dusting, and it’s not really oily like some “no dust” polishes. You can cut with whatever pad, I like uro 50/50s, and swap pads and finish it out to a perfect shine without wiping down etc. you can work so much longer than with any other polish I’ve tried. And as I’m sure you know most of the cutting ability comes from the pad anyways so I’ve gotten completely rid of all my compounds because they’re useless after 3D one. Maybe try it out and you might like it.
@@402car_kid4 most of the cut does not come from pad depending on what your doing. I'm not a fan of 3d. But that doesn't mean anything lol. If you like it. And it works for them that's great. 🙂👍
So many haters in the comments. If the customer is happy and think it was $18,000 well spent then it’s a great deal for all parties involved. Us poor folk spend $18,000 for the entire car.
When you really think about what was done and included in that price it really isn’t that insane. The shipping alone was a couple grand. Full PPF + Paint Correction very expensive. I don’t think $18k is unreasonable for a very rare and obviously quite cool car.
I mean 18,000 subtract maybe 2k for transportaiton so 16,000/70 hours is like $230/hour? for full paint correction, ceramic wrapping the entire car etc doens't seem too too bad? and its 12% of the vehicle cost so seems like a worthwhile investment
It's a little different. I mentioned this about 720s and flamethrower times too in video lol. Generally speaking it's ok by a exhaust exit. But it's discussed with every owner on cars like this. A cat or especially down pipe is way different. A down pipe) high flow car can literally glow under extensive load lol. Exhaust tips don't do that. Unless your running some crazy flame tune stuff. Then get the chicken ready your roasting everything!
$18,000 for a detail? Who would be crazy enough to shell out that type of cash for a deluxe cleaning? Yeah it’s meticulously done, but the finish is ruined the first time it rains after delivery. I just don’t think the value of a detail is $18,000. That’s a hell of a carwash.
No detail job is worth 18k, I don't care how good it is
Their companies that charge more than this and don't actually figure the shipping cost into the price. This is not the most expensive detail you can find if you know where to look.

Thank you for watching and commenting! The gtr is a awesome platform. Very reliable. Very fast. Very tuneable. Very affordable!
you re detailling videos are amazing! I really don't get how your channel can be so underrated. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I think the issue is me haha. I need to post more!!!!

Thanks for the continued support and watching the videos! Unlimited trailers are very impressive that's for sure!
Somebody got RIPPED OFF BIG TIME😂… they charged the owner what they make in a year 😂
@@dodgechargermike in a year huh lol
18k, come on. I get it's a lot of work, but 18k. This is why your local guy gets mad about just charging 250 for a Basic, in and out detail. He starts to feel he's undercharging.
Do remember this includes a fair amount of shipping cost👍
Worth it. And the job was primo
@@Caa310 thanks 🙂
@STATUSDETAIL , it costs under $2k for an enclosed carrier shipment of a car from CA to NY.
You know you guys profited hella bank off of this. The fact that YOU brought up the $18k and are acting like a huge portion of that is going to shipping gives sleazy used car salesman vibes. You put $18k for the click bait and people are (appropriately) calling you out for it.
I don't think I've ever seen AMMO NYC tallk about price in a video, but everyone knows he charges 4-figures for a wash. But no one calls him out even though he's making bank on it cuz he doesn't click bait people with it and cower behind, "Oh but there's shipping."
@@Alimoalem click bait would mean the customer didn't pay that amount total to do this job. But he did. It's not click bait. I am not ammo. I title my videos differently.
This is very satisfying, as a car enthusiast. Great video. Glad it popped up on my feed.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
It's funny how little some people understand that $18k is probably insignificant to people that buy these types of cars - it's not like they saved up for 40 years to finally buy this car. This is a really good job! Hope your success continues to grow!
Thank you for understanding and the kind words! Many more videos coming!
Outstanding work ! And what an amazing vehicle to work on. Love the content you put out.

Status Detail is the real deal! Just bought a new car and emailed them about a similar job. Evan was extremely helpful and took the time to educated me on allot of things that helped me out. In the end it helped me find a local shop. I was going to send it out to status but I drive my cars and would have been an inconvenience to send it out every time I need a panel redone due to me driving the car and my OCD about scratches. As for the 18k price ... It is what it is. My local shop is charging me 11k for the work which is about what Evan would have charged minus the shipping. You pay for the time it takes to do the job properly and the skill level of the installer. I was going for a Matt PPF over a gloss paint and for that, install quality trumps all. The folks that complain about the cost are not the clients that would pay for or even appreciate the effort it takes to do things properly. Great vid Evan and great job on the GT-R! Oh and apologies for not returning the last email. I have been swamped with work.
No problem at all 🙂
Thank you for watching! And appreciate the pricing in your comment. When you figure in my price minus shipping I'm typically more but obviously very competitive considering the product I turn out. So for many people the shipping as seen as no big deal to just make sure it's done perfectly. Almost like buying insurance. A status detail is a pretty sure thing lol.
But shippya car is a bit inconvenient for some and well it can be expensive so it won't be for everyone.
Glad you got your car squared away and hope you enjoy many fun miles with it 🙂👍🤝
i worked at nissan back in the day and we had an all white nismo gtr show up and man it looked good, it did sit for a pretty long time surprisingly

Honestly all I got was you repeating your self about nothing , no disrespect. Now watch a video with Larry of ammo ,and he educates you on pads, sanding ,liquids, everything , dude has his products . I think you have to know a little something to do that .and I think that he is a blessing to your industry because he's probably so busy that he created a need and lots of retailers like you filled that need and I just think that all that MOney talk is better left private you and your client and just be humble. Thank you and great work God bless you

So true , i got the same opinion .. talks too much, overrated work.
@@cristiancarson6009 so no feedback to make it better. Got it.
I was literally searching the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one thinking this. Dude doesn’t seem humble at all and the demeanor of his business is something I don’t get. I would recommend for him to be more educational, less “we do it best” and just a little less focused on how “perfect and better he is” his work looks nice. Not taking that away from him. However as a viewer, all I heard was “I’m the shit, everyone else is meh because they’re not blessed to have such cars”. I know so many installers that put out the same work and they all think they’re the best in the world. That 18k is wild tho good lord 😂 18k is money you pay for like actual unique custom art. Not a ppf job,

Imagine paying what this car costs and the paint comes as jacked up as it did from the manufacturer
Unfortunately the owner does not need to imagine this lol

@@glubgawd7393 yep. Check out my other videos. Basically all high end cars need crazy paint correction
Beautiful detail, ugly car. 😮
Thanks! But I thought it was pretty awesome looking!!
When you think about it, it’s just like adding another option to the car from the dealership, or going from base model to AMG. You’re paying a nice chunk of change to keep the car super clean and extra glossy for a really long time. In that sense, kind of worth it. I’m sure it’s just 18k for this car. And if you have enough money to pay for this car, 18k really is just a drop in the bucket 🤷🏻♂️

You have to be ignorant to think 18 k is a lot for a 220k car. I mean, ppl spend 9k on ppf on a 2023 bmw m3 worth 80k and you see them in every parking lot.
You did a detail, paint correction and ppf. Definitely a good price if you ask me. Keep up the good work man.
Thanks! The car cost more than that used now. Because it's so rare.
Agreed with what you said but remember it included shipping to and from New York too!
Labor is labor cost of the vehicle has ZERO to do what is charged. I work on private and commercial jets. There is no car that even comes close to jet maintenance costs. A detail on a 20 million dollar airplane I could not charge 18k.
@@MiturBinEsderty maybe your not very good at business? I could charge eat more than 18k on a 20 mil airplane lol
When you buy a car like this or a Porsche or Ferrari you will notice the cost of the car and the options. They all also include destination charge. Literally every new Porsche lists it in the build sheet and the window sticker. They actually charge you more to do it at a delivery center for the experience but that's slightly different conversion. The is the manufacturer is literally doing the opposite of what you described.
If you buy $5 paper towels online with $10 shipping it cost you $15 to almost paper towels. If you walk down the street and buy in person it's $5.
Service is similar to minor offered local. So if you send the car to me the cost of the shipping is obviously part of the cost of getting the job done. If it wasn't then we would have so many more customers because shipping is the biggest return for a lot of people. It's also why you can't compare my price to somebody else's because the shipping will always ruin the pricing structure and make me obviously more expensive. So you have to ship a car here because you want me to do it and you know I'm going to do it perfectly not because of the price.
@@STATUSDETAIL you can’t even write a sentence without sounding like an idiot. “You can charge eat more” that’s why you wash cars and I do what I do.

Wouldn’t think the wheels would need to come off on this detail or car, with 100 miles, there is no grime or build up on the suspension components or behind the wheels. It’s literally brand new, the focus was paint correction and protection with attention to detail at a high level.

This car looks like it has the same paint color as my Dark Horse. I understand protecting a car this rare and desirable, but man you can do a lot with $18k. I can get a Whipple or VMP supercharger and add 300 more horsepower and have money to buy some nice carbon fiber body panels or something. Excellent job on the car!
@@archiethedog4515 thanks! Your comparing a 300k plus car to a sub 6 figure car. This guy could buy 2 more cars like this and do equal details. The comparison is different.

Dark horse is dope btw. I kinda want a gt350r! I like a good mustang lol
@@STATUSDETAIL I am not at all saying what you've charged is unreasonable. It's like paying $100k on a picture frame for art that's worth millions. Totally different level of investment.

Is it not crazy that the car came off the lot in this condition? The amount of paint correction needed is astonishing.

@@teeimsaza5718 you think my cost is small? To film. Edit. Produce the content plus do all the work plus pay my guy and materials insurance etc etc. Go open your own business. Do your very best to copy my business and let me know how it goes. Genuinely wishing you luck. The odds say you file bankruptcy and dissolve the company after a few years. Good work and good business practices with this production quality is hard to do on a budget.
Why aren’t you cutting the ppf with a printer? Cutting on paint is bound to result in a slip and cut paint. If the details cost this much you should expect that type of product
A plotter will not be as good as bulking. Many panels can only be done seamless by bulking. Plotter installs will always be worse. Plotter installs still require cutting because every panel won't line up perfect. If you don't cut often your more likely to cut paint as plotter installers don't cut as much as we do.
Most important rare cars don't have plotter software. The software only helps if someone can scan the car and create the plotter format for it. So brand new rare cars must bulk cut.
What’s the best way to clean door jambs and with what brush and product? Also, how do you go about water spots and avoiding it? Keep up the great work !
@@E.D.M.Detailing avoid water spots by working in shade. Cool car so never after drive or in sun .

18k could probably beef up that transmission and dif to actually have it do what it was intended lmao.

Not sure what your seeing. Might be a weird light reflection. On our if state cars they often stay with me a few days after completion so I can check for this very issue! This was done a long time ago so I don't remember but it's safe to say I found things and re heated it trimmed any problem spots 👍

Hello Evan (correct name?), this is Georgios from Greece! As profesional detailers we know that a brand new car is not in "really brand new contition".

Evan that's me! Thank to 🙂 yes new isn't new until it leaves us lol
It is exceedingly rare to find decent work, let alone the level of obsession seen in your work. Bravo. Trust is priceless because mistakes are often irreparable…. Are you still using carpro gel in with the slip solution? Or what are you using for slip with the STEK? Keep up the good work. Inspiring stuff
Thank you. You definitely understand!
Interestingly enough the last week and a half or two weeks I totally stopped using gel. I have found that using no gel is way way way way way way way way...m better lol.
I think as I was learning I felt like gel was this magic thing that probably built in some fake confidence. Now that I'm very proficient it installing film and I dropped the gel I realized that it's actually way easier to install without it. The gel actually makes it stick faster which can be helpful on maybe smaller panels but on the more complicated larger panels it causes actually a lot of problems because it's just soap and water gives you way more working time and will reduce lines in other issues. So for the foreseeable future I'm just on j&j soap and di water.

The dealership more then likely received it from Nissan Japan with a protective plastic layer of film over the paint.... hence all the swirlies in a fresh OEM paint that should be a beautiful mirror finish! ESPECIALLY if any spec of dust landed right before it was applied and the expansion and contraction that occurs while sitting in a shipping container above 100F deg in the day.... then 60's at night maybe!?!?

There’s a new mug born Every day LOL
mug?
Idk what polish youre using but ive used all the big names, Koch chemie, Oberk, Rupes, Carpro, etc, etc, etc and the best polish with the highest working time and literally no dust whatsoever is 3D one. No need to wet the pad or anything. Specially for ppl. Its ahead of optimum hyper polish as its not as heavy and not oily or anything. Its literally the perfect polih and can cut just as good as the best compound with the right pad. Theres no byproduct on 3D one at all. And if youre not cleaning your pads in between panels anyways idk. Because a pad is going to clog regardless if the polish dusts or not. And im sure you know that when the pad clogs it diminishes the pads ability to do its only job. I switch to a new pad every section of every panel and when im finally out of pads i clean them quick and start the process over. Takes about 20 seconds a pad.
I use CarPro reflect and ultra cut currently. Rupes previously before they redid everything.
No dust is not necessarily good. I spoke about that in the video 👍
@@STATUSDETAIL I get what you’re saying about trade offs but just try 3D one and see if it works. I started using it because at first I was mobile so doing multiple washes was kind of out of the question when I needed to get everything done within 12 hours. Sure you can wipe 99% of the dust off on the panel wipe down but you really gotta wipe the panels twice as the dust will rehydrate and I’m not 100% confident the first wipe is picking all of it up. I used to use rupes also but it was literally like saw dust it was so horrible. Oberk is better but still dusts bad but I like going from cutting right into polishing without having to wipe the panels as they work great together like that. The 3D one has no dusting, and it’s not really oily like some “no dust” polishes. You can cut with whatever pad, I like uro 50/50s, and swap pads and finish it out to a perfect shine without wiping down etc. you can work so much longer than with any other polish I’ve tried. And as I’m sure you know most of the cutting ability comes from the pad anyways so I’ve gotten completely rid of all my compounds because they’re useless after 3D one. Maybe try it out and you might like it.
@@402car_kid4 most of the cut does not come from pad depending on what your doing.
I'm not a fan of 3d. But that doesn't mean anything lol. If you like it. And it works for them that's great. 🙂👍
So many haters in the comments. If the customer is happy and think it was $18,000 well spent then it’s a great deal for all parties involved. Us poor folk spend $18,000 for the entire car.
ken gets it !thanks for watching
Saw one last week at Walt Disney World parking lot, it was red, cool car.
Oh man I bet a red one would have looked very cool especially with the carbon parts!!!!
It’s great work but spending 18k on a car let alone just detailing it is wild.
You think 18k on a car is a lot? Now I'm really confused lol
Any tips or any other videos that talk about matte black wheel cleaning? They never turn out great looking for me.
@@peterwhitford1877 not yet. I wash them the same usually. Definitely make sure the wheel is cold. So no washing after a drive.
When you really think about what was done and included in that price it really isn’t that insane. The shipping alone was a couple grand. Full PPF + Paint Correction very expensive. I don’t think $18k is unreasonable for a very rare and obviously quite cool car.
I think you understand high end detailing. Unlike many people in the comments lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂🤝
I mean 18,000 subtract maybe 2k for transportaiton so 16,000/70 hours is like $230/hour? for full paint correction, ceramic wrapping the entire car etc doens't seem too too bad? and its 12% of the vehicle cost so seems like a worthwhile investment
Shipping was more than 2k. Was like 1600 or more each way. appreciate your breakdown and understanding the costs
So you charge 200 a hour ?
Professional work and very informative.
Thank you!
Great job guys 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

"PPF isn't supposed to be by hot items" *Puts PPF directly next to the massive exhaust tips of the GTR which are notoriously hot.* LMFAO
It's a little different. I mentioned this about 720s and flamethrower times too in video lol. Generally speaking it's ok by a exhaust exit. But it's discussed with every owner on cars like this. A cat or especially down pipe is way different. A down pipe) high flow car can literally glow under extensive load lol. Exhaust tips don't do that. Unless your running some crazy flame tune stuff. Then get the chicken ready your roasting everything!

Lol. I do it all the time. Just normal stuff
$18,000 for a detail? Who would be crazy enough to shell out that type of cash for a deluxe cleaning? Yeah it’s meticulously done, but the finish is ruined the first time it rains after delivery. I just don’t think the value of a detail is $18,000. That’s a hell of a carwash.
It wasn't a car wash. Rain won't ruin it. That's why it has 10 years of warranty 👍
