Jim, you are a detailer in every sense of the word! From washing to prepping to paint correction to polishing to toothpickery to paint protection. You are one of the best! Cheers from Canada.
20:48-21:41 Yeah, it's amazing because it's the biggest channels with the hugest followings and their self proclaimed "mastery" of the industry that portray to know it all and yet they put out a lot of misleading information. Take Esoteric for example, I once argued in one of his videos where he had said all you need to do to apply a ceramic coating is to wash the car, decon the pain with your chemicals and with the clay, IPA to "remove old waxes and sealants" (which we all know IPA doesn't do, it just removes residual polishing oils) and your car was now ready to coat. I told him that that was wrong, and that you needed to at least go over it with a finishing polish to really get the paint bare and get that ceramic coating to truly bond the best and perform as well as it can as well as last as long as possible. He said that I was wrong, to which I replied well what about if the vehicle had Soft99 Fusso applied to the paint (a PTFE based sealant), would I be able to just get away with the steps and the ceramic would bond just fine? To which he replied "I don't know, I'm not familiar with that product" or something along those lines, which just proved my point!! You never know what the car your customer is giving you has on the surface, and the only way to truly get it bare and ready for a coating is to give it a good polish, EVEN IF THE CAR HAS ZERO IMPERFECTIONS. You don't have to put a microfiber cutting pad and use your coarsest compound, you can literally just put a fine polishing/finishing pad on your machine and give it a good buzz over with something like sonax perfect finish. Then you can proceed to IPA and install whatever you want, whether that's a high end professional installer only coating or a spray wax. Truth is, these people are in the market of selling you products, not teaching you how detailing actually works best. Could you follow Esoteric's instructions and get away with it? Of course you could. Would it perform and last the same as if you did the prep work (including polishing!) correctly? Nope, not a chance. It's very few people who are actually transparent and let you know the truth, such as obviously Jim from white details, Waxmode (love his channel), and Sandro from Car Craft Auto Detailing. There are a few more but those are my top 3 because they've been extremely transparent from the start and those are my 3 favorites. Waxmode for the eye candy, White Details for the JAW DROPPING, world class detailing (the industry standard IMO) and hands down THE best production in the industry. Seriously, Jim, your editing and videography are TOP NOTCH and not "just for a detailing channel", I mean for anybody. Sandro is also in my top 3 because I also find that his work is world class and his production is also done to a very high standard. They both have their own styles, Sandro is a bit more on the educational side with lots of narration. Anyway, Jim and Sandro are definitely two of the best detailers on the face of the planet, and neither of them are self proclaimed "I'm the industry standard, I know what I'm talking about and you don't" snobs. They're down to earth and willing to share HONEST and accurate information. Rant over, had to get it off my chest. Your content always blows my mind, Jim, I'm gonna go ahead and say that you're #1, I'd put you up against anyone in the industry.
Totally agree. Sandro and Jim are my favourites too and its just a joy to watch them, which rarely happens when the videos are so long! I'd like to also add Larry from AMMONYC, but he is a bit niche imo and not that informative as Jim and Sandro.
Is it just me or does the porsche paints respond really well to the corrections!! They always look amazing after Jim works his magic. I like the honesty of the wheel nuts, not that the average Joe would notice such tiny details. Perfect result as always and a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. 👍👍
Thanks Jim!! Ive watched this sat in my camper van in Scotland watching the rain just bead off my van , the wife thinks I’m weird ! They just don’t understand . Thanks for the eye candy!
Blown away, agreed, this was the perfect colour to detail as this came out very well on my phone's screen. Thanks for talking about the skewers- I was one of the people to ask on the last detail- also I guess, being wooden, the other end could be sanded into a shape thats required to get into a certain troublesome area? Older vehicles being detailed not only reminds me of my youth but the transformation is much more transformative (couldn't think of another word). Green, purple, and other mid dark/ light colours would do very well and would pick up on camera. You actually have my dream enhancement studio, I love how its set up- beautiful. Thanks again.
I just spend 30 hours of detailing over the weekend ... I feel you when you when you tell us you are taking to long. Don't worry, it will pay off in the future :) You are a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing your insignts, I always learn something new watching your vids. Keep it up Jim!
Great to see the Master detailing another car. Jim you are definitely on another level when narrating and educating us with how a paint finish can look and preserve.
After watching some of your videos and taking note of your techniques for edge work, residue control etc.. I noticed my last polishing job had much better results than prior when I wasn’t using some of your techniques.
It isn't easy being one of the best at what you do and always doing it the right way. It's also draining and you lose a part of yourself on every job, as you well know. Hence the exhaustion and frequent burn outs.
I could absolutely watch you work your magic all day long Jim. I love to clean my cars and am quite OCD about it too, but nothing like you of course. Keep them coming my friend.
Absolutely mesmerizing to watch a true and meticulous artist at work! I've never seen such amazing paint correction. Although it still looks fresh, I wish I could ship my 27K mile 2002 Boxster S over to the UK to have it done, LOL! Fantastic work and videos, Jim!
Top work Jim, as always another absolute masterclass.. The difference really is in the details.. Seriously the best in the business.. I watch a lot of the online detailers & there is no one better.. 👌🏻
Awesome video Jim! 😎 Great results from a minor paint correction! I enjoyed the wheel hub refurbishments; I bet all four took a few hours alone. I know which video you mean. He also uses an LHR21 so given the additional throw compared to the 15 he won’t be able to get anywhere near the edges. Another few mm and the backing plate would have hit the panel edge. Awesome work dude 👍🏼
Awesome video, Jim! Thanks so much for putting these together. They are so fun and informative. I really appreciate all the time you put into the production and chatting with us! And…I love my WD SnapBack hat! I got the gray and it looks even better in person! 😁
The structure of the paint looks similar to the paint my BMW E28 M535i looked like when I bought it. I‘ve wet sanded the whole car and the paint improved so much I couldn’t be happier. There is a video of the whole Detailing on my channel of it. However, of course this was my own car. It took veeeery long. 😂
Jim... you are amazing mate!!🙂 The amount of hard work and effort you put into your work is truly inspiring!!!👍... It makes me wish I had a supercar to book in for you to get The Full White Detail!!! Keep up the great work!! Love watching your videos!!!👍🙂
Just brilliant once again Jim! The level of detail is what puts you ahead of the rest. I hope you manage to make many more videos as they really are a pleasure to watch. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'm speechless! I gained new respect for detailers. I believe that cars should not be the recipient of such care and passion; nonetheless, I admire this guy dedication and persistence.
Thanks for your time doing this Jim, your level of detail is unmatched and your tips are used regulary on my own car but with never quite the same results!!!
This is the exact video I needed to see to get my newly acquired Sebring convertible to its best Shape with only 30k miles. Thx 🙏. Although this car has a better resemblance of my MK1 TT. ☕️ to you.
Bliss ... an hours worth of chilled viewing for this evening! Bum on the sofa, feet up and a nice cuppa 😊
Jim, you are a detailer in every sense of the word! From washing to prepping to paint correction to polishing to toothpickery to paint protection. You are one of the best! Cheers from Canada.

Let it go...
@@Macron87 I did, in this comment :D
Nice to see you recognise the only 2 detailers I would take any advice from. Jim and Sandro are Master Detailers. I’ll have to check out WaxMode.
Well said and I agree!
It's a shame that these bigger more corporate companies which should be setting examples are letting people down!
Totally agree. Sandro and Jim are my favourites too and its just a joy to watch them, which rarely happens when the videos are so long! I'd like to also add Larry from AMMONYC, but he is a bit niche imo and not that informative as Jim and Sandro.
Is it just me or does the porsche paints respond really well to the corrections!! They always look amazing after Jim works his magic. I like the honesty of the wheel nuts, not that the average Joe would notice such tiny details. Perfect result as always and a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. 👍👍
Unreal workmanship again Jim. 👏🏼
Thanks Jim!! Ive watched this sat in my camper van in Scotland watching the rain just bead off my van , the wife thinks I’m weird ! They just don’t understand . Thanks for the eye candy!
That's it, brew on, frizzbee an I pad to the kids and settle down to an hour of some of the finest detailing 👍
Subbed and liked informative and enjoyable videos.
Nice to see you back in action, Jim!
Fantastic colour!
That purple is gorgeous!
If you need an assistant I’m free!!
We need more of this Jim. I’ve binged every video like 5 times ha
Lovely colour
Outstanding, Jim you are the GOAT.
Great work yet again JW
Results speak volumes, nice colour.
Blown away, agreed, this was the perfect colour to detail as this came out very well on my phone's screen. Thanks for talking about the skewers- I was one of the people to ask on the last detail- also I guess, being wooden, the other end could be sanded into a shape thats required to get into a certain troublesome area?

An hour spent in Jim’s company always good. Thanks Jim
Great to see you back Jim creating art 👍
You are not getting older any faster than any of us Jim. As to 'OCD' , thats why you are so gifted at what you do. Lovely job yet again.
Great to see the Master detailing another car. Jim you are definitely on another level when narrating and educating us with how a paint finish can look and preserve.
Great video as always, that colour is stunning.
Always a pleasure watching you 😊. And a great shine aswell
Congrats on the magazine recognition! You deserve it. Love watching your work and the cars! Thanks for the videos from Southern Illinois!
Peace and quiet, a cuppa or two and a White Details video. Lovely! The weather is playing the game today too..... ahhhh!
Another amazing transformation Jim. Well done!
Lovely colour beautifully enhanced
Beautiful job! Working as an art form, such an inspiration!
Great seeing the positive exposure you’re receiving. Well earned Jim, well earned.
After watching some of your videos and taking note of your techniques for edge work, residue control etc.. I noticed my last polishing job had much better results than prior when I wasn’t using some of your techniques.
Liked before watching because he is that good!
Astounding ,genuinely the best I have ever seen.
Its always good watching your video's. Fantastic work.
Considering that this isn't a full-on Chasing Perfection 'White Detail'. The end result is astounding. Truly Fantastic work! 👌
Highly professional standard of work throughout. Very well done, a fabulous result.
Glad it wasnt just me who watched a VERY well known channel going down the 'full send' route on a car/for a client that deserved so much more care.
Which channel are we talking about? Good to know so we can steer clear of advices given by them. Or at least some of them.
As always, one of my favorite detailers and stand out gentleman. Outstanding work as always!
WoW... School is now in session. Mastery work and explanation Jim. You're in a CLASS all by yourself!! 👏🏻 Bravo
Car looks great. Good video Jim.
Next level detailing....we are not worthy!!! Good you got recognised in the mag...about time
YES Jim!! Just what I needed, a new video! 👌🏼👌🏼
White you are a wizard.
Another very nice job there Jim…👍
Brilliant once again Jim! Thanks for sharing. Inspirational stuff....
Love chilling out on a Sunday full of food watching Jim perfect automobiles 👌🤙
Jim your attention to detail is just unbelievable , love watching your videos number 1 in my book m8 keep it up
Awesome video Jim. Was stoked when I woke up this morning and saw a notification of a new White Details video.
The absolute true and best detailer which all small details matters the most, one of the best, great video
And that's why your the best Jim 😊
Now I feel like I can tackle paint correction on my own 987 Boxster. Great Video!
Awesome job as always Jim 👌
It isn't easy being one of the best at what you do and always doing it the right way. It's also draining and you lose a part of yourself on every job, as you well know. Hence the exhaustion and frequent burn outs.
I'm just getting into detailing, and the way you show differences (like the texture around the square light) is REALLY helpful! Thanks 🤙
After a long day valeting, White Details is on the TV and a cool beer is being enjoyed.
I could absolutely watch you work your magic all day long Jim. I love to clean my cars and am quite OCD about it too, but nothing like you of course. Keep them coming my friend.
Undoubtedly the most entertaining hour of RUclips has to offer
Thanks for another video Jim, you're attention to detail makes me want to step my game up
Amazing transformation and a very enjoyable Episode Jim. Thanks
Nice to see you back Jim, good luck on the merch. Car looks stunning we are all getting older but your Ocd is on another level.
White Details = 🐐... Always a pleasure to watch your work 👌
Absolutely mesmerizing to watch a true and meticulous artist at work! I've never seen such amazing paint correction. Although it still looks fresh, I wish I could ship my 27K mile 2002 Boxster S over to the UK to have it done, LOL! Fantastic work and videos, Jim!

Simply magical
Congrats from Brazil, you revived a suffered car!
Awesome video Jim! 😎
Great results from a minor paint correction!
I enjoyed the wheel hub refurbishments; I bet all four took a few hours alone.
I know which video you mean. He also uses an LHR21 so given the additional throw compared to the 15 he won’t be able to get anywhere near the edges. Another few mm and the backing plate would have hit the panel edge.
Awesome work dude 👍🏼
Awesome video, Jim! Thanks so much for putting these together. They are so fun and informative. I really appreciate all the time you put into the production and chatting with us! And…I love my WD SnapBack hat! I got the gray and it looks even better in person! 😁
Incredible work Jim. You are a magician sir.

There is a video of the whole Detailing on my channel of it. However, of course this was my own car. It took veeeery long. 😂
Terrific work!
I know its going to look good when i start watching.. but im still amazed how good it looks once finished..
Another fantastic episode Jim, baseball cap and magazine ordered, look forward to having a good read 👍🏼
Jim... you are amazing mate!!🙂 The amount of hard work and effort you put into your work is truly inspiring!!!👍... It makes me wish I had a supercar to book in for you to get The Full White Detail!!! Keep up the great work!! Love watching your videos!!!👍🙂
Pretty promptly posting positive praise!! 😉
(Seriously - love all your videos, every one a great result!)
Been a while Jim, beautiful work and a joy to watch, thank you. 👍
Even the masking up on the hub work was neat and tidy😂
Just about time when you thought about where’s the next episode of WHITEDETAILS. Good to see you back. Great work as always. Big fans from 🇨🇳
I love your videos!
Great one again jim. 💪🏽👊🏻
Amazing work as always jim! What a stunning colour 🙌🏽
Just brilliant once again Jim! The level of detail is what puts you ahead of the rest. I hope you manage to make many more videos as they really are a pleasure to watch. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'm speechless! I gained new respect for detailers.

Thanks for your time doing this Jim, your level of detail is unmatched and your tips are used regulary on my own car but with never quite the same results!!!
"Pretty pristine purple porsche" sounds like Car Cleaning Guru!!
I really wish you were in the States.......You're an amazing detailer
This is the exact video I needed to see to get my newly acquired Sebring convertible to its best Shape with only 30k miles. Thx 🙏. Although this car has a better resemblance of my MK1 TT. ☕️ to you.
