World's Most EXPENSIVE DETAIL Ends In DISASTER

- I bought a rare Ascari Launch Edition Audi RS5 Sportback as my dream daily driver. Planned out the worlds most outrageous in depth detail that would have been the worlds most expensive detail! But it ended in total disaster.

As someone who works in this industry. I would just like to say that your work and attitude towards detailing is on a whole different level. Amazing to see. Congratulations on the new car.
Thank you! Always appreciate comments from people in the industry that can understand what's shown in the video but can also understand how much is happening off camera 👍 details like this are a really massive job. Hard to show that in a 40 minute video.
Thanks for watching 🙂
As someone that's a qualified painter, and been doing this all my life, and can tell you everything about Detiling. The best thing without being rude. I agree with this comment. What you do is on a different level, Sometimes for better and for the detriment, usually to yourself and physiology :) I have friends like you, They are So Anal (There not even Greek) Everything has to be perfect, and untill its better than perfect, they cant relax, and due to that no one else around them dare relax :) How ever, there is one person you want with tis unhealthy condition, and that is defiantly, your detailer. This is rare, and your detailer being like this is only beneficial to the customer, and is very hard to find.
@@canoaslan1011 "there not even Greek" made me laugh. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate comments like this but also viewers in the industry who can really see and understand the craziness that's being showed. See you in more videos soon 🙂🙂👍👍
@@canoaslan1011I’m working on getting into this industry on my own. It’s always been a hobby, but it makes me happy. Yes I’m very OCD, about my ride being clean and tight. Only use pro products. Don’t use section 8 Walmart
Nothing better than seeing an OCD detailing enthusiast/professional detailer do work on their own new daily driver. I think that's when most of us truly unleash and go absolutely ALL out because it's yours to drive and enjoy every day. And that's not taking anything away from how good your work is on your customers' cars, it's just that we always go that extra mile for own cars, IMHO.
Definitely. I couldn't help my self. I went as far as I could until I imploded lol
I completely agree with you on the paint correction stage. There’s absolutely nothing more relaxing as a detailer than having your earbuds in and polishing the paint to that 98-99% look. Also, I speak for everyone when I say we need more content from you. Congrats on the car!
Awesome to hear it's not just me lol. I lool forward to being that good at PPF. But I still need to be really focused and not relaxed lol.
I'll definitely try and get some more videos out soon 👍👍
Time to hire someone to Video and Edit your work. No reason you shouldn't have 1/4 million subs. You just need to be able to post more content. It would be worth it to try for a few months and see if you can start getting out a video every week or two.
I agree with you. But I might need to film a little different to have a editor. Or just show them the chaotic way I edit lol. Because I'd need to voiceover there edit. Unless I just kinda vlog it and they edit the story together.
But a video editor is definitely possible.
I see the challenge. Having a person in charge of videoing while you work will help navigate the editing process and create the structure (story board) you're looking for. I like the longer videos but consider chopping up videos into shorter 15 minute segments, with less detailed narration, . At the end of a project you can promote the full series in a laid back podcast, while you and your team enjoy your favorite beverages, where you can dive deeper into the details. Posting more frequently is the key @@STATUSDETAIL
@@TheBCMSB right and Definitely want more frequent posts! I try to keep videos around 20-25 mins. Basically a old school TV show time minus commercials lol. This was a monster of a project though.
The next time I buy a car and do a vid might be a supercar. I think that needs to be like a two part series.
Yaaaas bring someone in house and groom them. They will just do the heavy lifting on the editing. I'd watch 30 min video daily if they were available. Glad you are considering scaling at your own pace though. Love for what you do is king.
@@RealExpertsPro It's super awesome that fans like you would watch videos daily! I feel the same way about a lot of people that I watch on RUclips as well. The future of the brand is definitely going to be on RUclips. So some kind of content generation system needs to be put in place soon.
Your enthusiasm and how you communicate honestly about how you feel about everything you do is why I come to this channel. Alsof the fact you are so meticulous, Just love it!❤ keep up this amazing channel and community!
Thanks! As you can see in this video my need to do things perfectly sometimes goes to far lol. But that's part of the crazy that makes the business work and the videos fun to watch! The community that has grown around status is definitely incredible! It will be really amazing to watch grow 🤝🙂
Nothing's better than taking your time detailing your own cool car. For me, it is so satisfying to see each panel getting cleaner and corrected as you go through the car part by part. When everything is done, I would sometimes go in my garage to admire the results and my car lol. Congrats !
Oh yeah there's no telling how much time I've wasted just staring at my car once it's clean lol. It's also rather satisfying staring at a dirty car knowing that you drove it and enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching!
As a fellow detailer and Audi fan, that Iscari blue RS5 sportback is truly awesome!! I have an S4 with many mods. My wife has a new Q3 in Tango red.
Q3 tango red sounds awesome! My previous car was a s4! B8.5 was great!
We have a C7 S6 too. Audi love over here 🙂
Q3 in Tango Red? That’s a special vehicle! That car deserves the best in its life haha
You could have spread this out to a twenty to thirty part video series, and I'm willing to bet almost all of your subscribers including myself would happily watch and enjoy every single minute of it.
I think we will see a part two at least! I just don't know when. Late this year or early next year perhaps? So many great vids awaiting editing and need to be created!
Great to see you're back Evan, I love your content! I think you're too hard on yourself, just slow the pace down and enjoy the process
Good to be back! Going to try and get back to editing a few hours a week and have a slow but more consistent upload schedule 👍🤝
@@STATUSDETAIL that sounds like the perfect approach :)
Those wheels are BEAUTIFUL and they compliment the car very well! Best of luck with it.
It’s apparent how passionate you are about your work but you have to remember to take care of yourself. As much as I love my career, sometimes I need to take a step back and reset. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Lol agreed! I love what I do. And I love cars. It took 8 plus years of smashing that together to eventually push so hard for so long over a condensed period of time to realize I have a limit lol. I know what that looks like know and realize relaxing when appropriate makes me more effective and efficient when I'm working. Glad it happened so I could learn more about myself and my work flow.
The wheels turned out amazing. I'm sad every day they are hidden in bags in my basement over winter lolol.
Thank you for sharing your unique knowledges. Although I've been a detailer for quite a while and have mentored some of the successful detailing shops in my country, your skills and commitment in your business always humble me.
And please, do not neglect your health. cheers!
It's my pleasure! Im glad to hear the videos are entertaining but also informative! Appreciate your comment and that you are part of the channel!
Im definitely extra aware of the stresses of over working and burn out now. Glad I learned from it and have become more efficient and aware of when a break is needed.
Dude. This is an unreal level of detailing I've never experienced in my life. Phenomenal job. I'm glad you are this passionate about what you do
Thanks! Wait until you see the crazy detail I did in a Ferrari lol. GTR video coming soon then I'll edit the Ferrari video 👍
Great to see new content, I really enjoy your work. I find the videos very relaxing and informative, the interior looked amazing after.
Thank you for watching! I'm looking forward to the next video. I think it will be a huge hit on a very rare car!!
Hope your energy levels are back up, I have decided to purchase some Gyeon prep and leather cleaner after watching this.
@@nickwilliamson6712 thanks for supporting the store! Energy is good. Starting next edit today 🙂🙂
Glad to see your back. Had a rough day today in this video helped me unwind. I remember when you got this car a few months back, I think it’s super cool to see your process on what you exactly did to it. By the way those wheels are sick.
Thanks! I'm totally in love with the wheels lol. Can't wait to create another set for a future car!
Sorry to hear the day didn't go well. Hopefully tomorrow is better!!!
Hey Evan, love the channel n everything you do for the community keep it up man 🤙🏽 also please bring the RS5 back on the channel and give us an update, it’s a beauty 😍
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I'm not sure when but it is highly likely the RS5 will return to the channel for like a part two video
I bought an X5M competition recently as well. That will also need a video! So there's no shortage of content to be created! For the time being I just need to get some of the videos I've already filmed edited and on to RUclips! But I have no shortage of content and video ideas!
New to your channel, this is brilliant demonstration of detailing, I love your passion and drive , I will subscribe and look forward to future projects 🇬🇧.
Thank you! Next video should be on a nismo gtr that's very rare!
This makes me SOOO happy inside! Nothing like spending time with your OWN car! Great color too! Im looking at a 2023-2024 S4 in the army greenish color, so you just made my excitement even higher haha!
can't wait for your other vids too!!!
S4 is a great car. My previous car was a b8.5 S4. Had that 7-8 years. Was a great car! B9.5 looks great and more tuneable with the turbo. I think they offer that car in turbo blue too? That's a cool color as we.
Glad you enjoyed the video and happy car hunting!
Evan I love your videos. Watching them is a zen like experience for us. Detailing is a hobby for me now but those that know me well understand how that obsession for perfection can take over. I had wondered why the releases of the videos slowed to a drip but this makes perfect sense. Happy to see the success for you. Burn out is real, you and your loved ones are more important than constant video releases. Can't wait to see the next releases when time permits.
Thanks Aaron! Glad you all enjoy the videos so much! I've already started the next edit and hopefully won't be to long until it's finished!
very very underrated channel, excellent quality all around and super informative
Thank you! I have some killer vids coming up. Production quality was high! Just need to edit. Working on next video already!!
Congratulations on the new Audi! Sorry about the burnout. I know the feeling. My videos have been slow to come out lately for the same reason. When you're ready for mods, I know a good channel to reference. 😂 take care!
Thanks! I definitely want to do some mods soon!
The way you describe how you feel while paint correcting is a good description of what it means to truly master something.
Most people never achieve anything like this because they don't have commitment to anything.
Its your calling ❤️
And you're the best there is 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Thank you! Very kind words 🙂🙂
I'm looking forward to reaching that state with ppf. I'm damn good but not eyes closed zone mode yet lol
I rarely comment on videos but this was one of the most detailed and thorough examples of somebody who's absolutely mastered their craft on display for RUclips viewers to experience. Incredible man you are a legendary detailer man. Super eager to learn and watch the content that comes from your journey. Absolutely love the rs5 as well. Super Super well done man, you have got to get an editor or some form of a video production team so all you have to worry about is the work. Amazing job man.
Thank you! What a awesome comment 🙂🙂👍👍
I d believe a content creation system will happen sooner or later. Like most business owners I want control over it all lol. Making a GTR edit right now and it takes a lot of time to get the flow and watch ability aspect right. Get the jokes timed right to make you laugh and keep watching etc. But someone out there should be able to match this edit style id hope. I don't mind filming to much. But if someone could film for me we could probably show more interesting stuff.
Look forward to seeing you around the channel! If your new to the channel you have some awesome vids to catch up on.
Next Curtis 1 of 2 nismo GTR in specific color in USA. And a Ferrari 488 speciale edit after that. Then lots of Porsches!
Your work ethic is staggering as is your eye for detail, complete perfection. I love it . 👍
Thank you 🙂🙂
This guys passion for his own car is incredible. The attention to detail is amazing. I’m hoping to get myself an Audi S5 at some point this year and this video is getting me excited to detail it and make it my own!
Thank you! Not sure what gen s5 your looking at. The last few gens have been very good! The b8.5 is a great platform. B9 is a definite improvement. B9.5 updated screens are fantastic.
Yep, get a more recent B9.5 (2020+); there are many improvements that make it worth it. Some, in case of the RS5, include engine internal fixes to improve longevity. Btw, I have one of these Ascari RS5’s as well - amazing car. Get a 2021+ RS5 Sportback if you can, as it’s quite an all around near supercar. I traded my 2021 S5 convertible for the RS5 (I made the mistake of driving one and fell in love) - the S5 was a beautiful car as well (interior basically the same) and had decent performance stock but can be modded for more if you want. If you go the S5 route, try to find one with the Prestige pkg, as it comes with amazing laser lights and other goodies you can’t get on the lesser packages.
@@petejr7583 can confiy. Laser lights on my car must b stolen alien technology. With high beams in the country roads it's basically day time again lol. Unfortunately in USA they shut off some of the additional cool features but they can be turned on with trickery. The welcome lights are cool. You can RUclips that!
I just found and subscribed to your channel. I just appreciate your honesty on application of ceramic coatings (ie Gyeon Syncro). I am NO professional, not by any stretch of the imagination, yet I “go to my happy” place when detailing my vehicles. There is just something about the smell of all the chemicals, polishing, waxing, pressure washing and the end results. Great video!
Thanks for watching and I'm so glad you found the channel! Lots of videos you might enjoy! And some really incredible videos in the works. See you around the channel 🙂👍
Man I have to say how refreshing it is to see a car not all blacked out.... The chrome looks so classy and beautiful!!! Lovely car
Thanks! Nothing technically is chrome too. It's all polished aluminum and brushed aluminum. The silver on the car is all matte.
The wheels do kinda look like chrome tho.
I'm not a huge blackout guy..... But I might do it on a future car lol. I said to much lol
@@STATUSDETAIL Your right! Sorry my brain went blank when writing this and I think it was the wheels that contributed lol☺ (wheels like that are 10/10) and no man not at all your just speaking your mind, I am not a hater of the blackout look also as I actually like it 💯 in some cases definitely, but on this Sportback ..... The aluminum looks👌not sure what it is, for some reason it give that (Im not a 20yr old driver) vibe.
Fantastic work though man even if the project didn't go to plan I can see how much dedication you put in and for that alone....
A like n Subscribe from me!!!!😎
@@jackfalls1722 thank you for subscribing! I'll do another set of epic wheels in the future I'm sure. See what end of 2024 looks like ...
Just picked up an Ascari Launch Edition Sport back! Ive been unknowingly admiring pictures of your car on google images haha, Absolutely gorgeous!
My car is on Google images? Lol cool
I think the attention to detail u do is awsome, i love detailing i can spend hours on a car to get it right or even days but my skills aren't as good as yours but would love to reach that level.
Thank you! No real crazy science behind my skill set. I have just been doing this awhile and I'm always pushing to learn the next step and push the boundaries. Don't get comfortable and then stop progressing. You can learn everything I do if you keep pushing 👍🙂
Thanks for watching!
Just subscribed to the channel, love the content and attention to detail. Best of luck!
Thank you! I have some great videos for you coming soon 🙂👍
Unbelievable that you respond to so many of the comments, really shows you appreciation to your followers. Keep up the content, I’m looking to work out send my 2024 C8 Z06 to you once I get it in April.
I respond to every comment!.... Usually on a one day delay lol. Without you guys watching im just a crazy guy filming myself lolol.
I should have a few Z06 incoming! Another is certainly welcome! I am already scheduling into April! Shoot me a email or give me a call this weekend so we can chat 🙂👍
As a member of the VAG family. I love this car! Congrats. Huge fan of your channel and even more of your work! I'd love to be on the same level as you some day. Although now I'm doing bodywork instead of detailing
Thanks for watching and supporting Status! Body work is a difficult business to and lord knows we need detailed body work people!!
Stunning. Absolutely stunning job sir. I can definitely understand the burnout when it comes to work=hobby/hobby=work. Looking forward to more videos. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing! Next video is a Ferrari 458 speciale!
There's nothing worse than having the joy taken out of your passion - and most of us only know what that means when we experience burn-out. Congratulations for having the insight and support system to identify being close to the edge and for taking the steps to look after your well-being. That car is off-the-charts cool and it would be a shame if you couldn't enjoy it. Be well.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. All is well at Status 🙂👍
Great self knowledge and learning lesson!!!!!!! Amazing work! Subscribed!
Thank you! New video coming Sunday!!
when I'm polishing, I disappear into another dimension where every scratch and swirl comes out with one compound and my polisher is completely silent 😅😅 I love your car. looks so good
Lol finally someone who understands me!
Thank you 🙂🙂
Your enthusiasm and attention to detail is amazing and credit to you. 💙👍🏻
Thank you 🙂🙂👍👍🤝
Love this. So much work and i understand it how you tell it. Brand new its amazing thanks for this video.
Thank you for watching 🙂
Super calm Sat morning drinking coffee and watching you make a car look better than new. Im subbing :)
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you found the channel! Lots of videos coming soon!
Excellent detailed video - thanks!! (Audi RS5, Q8 and A6 Allroad Prestige owner! --- all used!)
Hello fellow Audi owner 🙂🙂🤝
Yes. Those wheels are amazing!
Thank you! Spent a lot of time deciding on the wheel specs. I think the car could be lowered slightly to enhance the look. But nothing rubs currently. So it's nice it can be driven hard too.
Hey from England! Im new to your channel and so glad Ive found you, this video is awesome. My wife thinks Im OCD, but you take it to another level! Can I echo some of the other comments and suggest that you get someone to video and edit your work so we can have some more content? Thanks for being honest, I like that!
Thanks for watching!
It's definitely being considered! I hope to have a new video out in coming weeks!
You are an Artist.. That Wheel turned out great! I swear by Leatherique, nothing is as effective.. Worth every penny.
Thank you! Can't wait to get the wheels back on. Winter is basically over!
I've never seen any of your videos. You just got a new subscriber. Awesome watching you. Now to go back and watch your other videos
So glad you found the channel! If you enjoyed this one then you will love my other recent videos. Especially the gt3 vids and gt4rs one👍 enjoy and see you in future uploads 🤝
I just finished an 18 month project along the same lines. After work, weekends, I couldn't even guess at the number of hours but know it's well over 1000. What started with a valve cover gasket replacement led to the complete rebuild of the top end of the motor. Almost blueprinted. Everything OEM: Seals, gaskets, any rubber vacuum line replaced with silicone, new plugs, cable management, etc. New alternator, PS pump, radiator, water pump, all belts, rebuilt throttle body, and on and and on. Once the motor was done, I went to close the hood and noticed some leaves in the recess where the hood arms go. Turns out the windshield drains down the inside of the fender and that was basically full of mulch. That led me on a rust-prevention campaign, which eventually got me into the interior when I found the sunroof tray was leaking because the drain tubes were petrified with a kink in them, so completely blocked. Once on the interior I went about fixing all the things I knew needed fixing. All bulbs went to LED, sunroof drive belt replaced (and the drain tubes), new speakers, new wiring, added a Zapco small Class D monoblock just in case I wanted to run a sub later down the road. Even added a backup camera. I took the interior down to the paint. Seats out, disassembled, skins shampooed, etc. All plastic moldings taken out, scrubbed, cleaned. All carpet up, all butyl removed. Even took the dash out. Twice (FML). Dynamat the whole thing and rebuild.
So the kicker is... this was all done on a 1990 4runner with 260k miles. The motor was actually a warranty replacement due to a manufacturing issue where the oil ports were too small and it starved the block with not enough circulation. A few of them just got leftover crate motors instead of a rebuild. So... a 260k 4runner with 80k on the motor. I'm the second owner. But I bought it off a high school friend of my parents. I was on the camping trip back in summer when he showed up with it for the first time and I remember thinking how cool it was. I think that, gaining mechanical experience with the vehicle, and a reason to not sit in front of the computer working all day played equal parts in the inspiration to keep at it. I don't regret the time spent, I'd do things a bit differently a second time. But if anyone asked me 'How much?' for a job like that, I would just laugh and sigh.
Lol love it! That would be the "unlisted detail". The open checkbook it is what it is.
Sounds like it was overall a relaxing fun experience for you. Very rewarding to finish a project like that.
Congrats on the purchase! I’ve owned an RS3 for the last 3 years, and the RS5 sport back is my natural upgrade. Keep up the great content.
I kinda want that new gen RS3.... And a RS6 performance.... And a last gen R8.......... I don't have a problem I swear.
@@STATUSDETAIL I’m right there with you brother! I prefer to have the RS5 because I have growing boys. I also own a 981 gt4, and now that prices are leveling, I’m thinking of adding a 991.2 to the fleet😂😂
@@tonywilliams4302 do it!!!! If the year is good.... I'm plotting my next purchase end of year. See what happens. Video 📸 n whatever is purchased! Or no video if I fall on my face lol !
Absolutely outstanding job above and beyond detail 👍. Looks like your business doing really well happy for you look forward to more vids. Get some rest😄
Thank you! Business has been very good. Very grateful for RUclips viewers like yourself. Most of Status customers today come from a RUclips video and want the Status treatment!
Congrats on the RS5!🎉 It's looking awesome. Love the wheels too.
Thank you! ForgeLight knocked it out of the park on them. Worth the long wait for sure!
Always such great work! Be sure to take some breaks!
Thank you! I e definitely gotten better at taking breaks and stepping away from cars when needed. But definitely not scared of a long day next to a car worth as much as a house. Just knowing not to stack to many long days back to back.👍
Excellent video and congrats on the car man!
Thank you!! Next video like this will hopefully be my first Porsche! With Plife collaboration 😃
I do weekend detailing. I tell friends and co workers that it's mediating to me. Much like watching others clean and detail cars 😅. Great work.
Thanks! Yes it's Definitely relaxing to clean a car and I enjoy watching other RUclips videos on cleaning cars too lol
I’ve got a 2020 Maserati Levante and take care of it thx for your expertise and lessons
My pleasure enjoy that car! 🙂
I learned the exact trick on Alcantara when I was developing a line of auto appearance products about 15 years ago using a leather topical cleaner I was working on. That material is EXTREMELY efficient at compounding and locking in body grime. But even though it’s actually a pretty strong material overall, there’s only one way to bring it back to almost new condition and that is carefully. After experimenting with a number of methods, you are spot on that it takes many light applications and light removals to not disfigure the surface texture along with a very noninvasive cleaning solution like a leather surface cleaner. Since it was synthetic material, I tried scrubbing with an all purpose cleaner and yes, it removed the dirt and grime, but from the aggressive cleaning it also removed the surface texture. But if it’s done exactly as you show here, it will surprise folks just how much grime is actually matting down the surface texture and it’s not actually worn down. Alcantara is some pretty amazing stuff!! I want to make some golf club grips from it, lol!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Definitely agree! I have a video about this topic in a gt3rs and McLaren the steering was really bad! Totally fixed it!!!
@@STATUSDETAIL, I had always thought that the material had worn out when it was matted down smooth. But I happened to run into someone that worked in textiles that knew a lot about the Alcantara material and he explained that although it’s a very durable material, its original design was to provide a very consistent and high level of comfortable grip. But the result looked so much like suede and they went all in on marketing it as a high durability synthetic suede. It’s one downfall was that although it provided excellent grip with gloves or bare handed on a steering wheel, it was extremely efficient at retaining body oils and grime which compounded and really held the surface texture down. A regular light cleaning of the steering wheel was originally suggested. But that suggestion never really got passed along. So, when operating with bare hands it doesn’t take long to lay down the surface texture. As mentioned, many folks think it’s worn out when in reality (as you have shown nicely) it just need to be properly cleaned. If Alcantara is cleaned lightly on a regular basis, it actually lasts a lot longer. Nice ride by the way!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Went from an RS5 to a GT500 last spring, you're gonna love the car! Too many days I miss it, especially in Michigan winters
A lot of people think I just got it. I've had it for about 8 months lol. This story took a long time to create especially with my workflow slow down! But yes it's completely amazing! Looking forward to subtle mods.
Gt500 is epic btw. I have a detail video on a gt500 if your interested 👍🙂
@@STATUSDETAIL I have watched it more than a handful of times! Absolutely stellar work always. The videos are worth the waits, so don't over work yourself! We are all more than willing to wait :)
@@BR3AD_YT I love it!! Thank you 🙂 I'm working on next edit currently. I want more vids coming out for wonderful fans like you 🤝
Just commenting for you getting better interactions on this video. Nice work dude! Greets from Germany
Hello! Thank you for watching and commenting 🤝
I really appreciated the video. I almost pulled the trigger on an Ascari but went with a Navarra Blue Metallic. Same as you purchased unseen out of state. Its on its way, i wont see it for 2 weeks, anxiety is building and I plan to go through the car like you did.
That's a great color too!! Basically everything I did besides PPF is pretty doable at home 👍👍
That’s the plan👌🏼
To replace the piano black, try looking for an S5 center console trim. It's a nice textured dark grey plastic that's zero maintenance to keep clean.
That's a very interesting idea!! I have a lot of alcantara from the Ascari Edition package. Like the lower part of center console. I think if I do alcantara it will look great. Plus it will look nice with the gear shifter thing lol... Makes it sound like a manual but you know what I mean
Not completely sure how to remove all that stuff and not break anything tho ... Lol
I recently purchased a used car with about the same miles on it! It’s in really good shape surprisingly! I have polished it and ceramic coated the car and it turned out pretty nice 👍 I love watching this video and your attention to details. Great job 👏
Thank you and nice work on your car!!
under rated channel. that zen mode is called flow state. burnout sucks but leads you to realize the importance of hobby/work-life balance.. cool channel man +1 Sub
I think I'm starting to get some flow state with ppf now actually!
Definitely. I relax a little more now and it's been very nice.... Feels like to much sometimes lol. I need to get my GTR video out ASAP!
Thanks for the sub!!
Dude! Prob my favorite video that you’ve done so far. Enjoyed it.
Awesome!!!! I think it was one of my better ones. Had I pulled it off properly I think it would have been ridiculously good lol. I'll do a "unlisted detail" / "impossible detail" on my first super car purchase 👍👍
@@STATUSDETAIL can’t wait for that one!
Awesome video my friend. My son Zach at leisure hours hobbies told me about you. You do awesome detailing and ppf. I hope to meet you in person some day.
Thanks for watching! Your son is awesome. He was helping me out on some rc car stuff! I use to be big into racing RC cars and attempting to find time for hobbies again so I can avoid over working! Lol
Glad you found the channel 🙂🤝
Man I wish I could autopilot behind a polisher but normally I’m a nervous wreck 😂 The way you describe it reminds me of that Zen and the Art of Archery book big time.
I would say I get zen-mode doing interiors. Throw a headlamp on and next time I look at my watch it’s 1:30am but fully energized. Moments like that is why I chase this stuff.
That RS5 is sick, excellent choice 💪
Thanks!
I think that Zen mode feeling happens when you're doing almost anything that you know you're extremely confident in your skill set and that there's virtually nothing you won't be able to handle. And you've just done that so many times that your brain kind of recognizes what's happening before it happens and you can just do everything very efficiently. I most certainly cannot do that with PPF yet. When I'm doing PPF I'm very mentally tuned in to be like what in the world do I have to do to make this perfect. But when I do paint correction I really don't have to think that hard about it. So I totally understand your interior mindset. I think that just means you're very very good at doing interiors.
I started using leatherique 6 years ago and has been my go to for clients who want a true refresh.
It's like magic witchcraft for sure
I have an Ascari RS7 and would love this type of job done on it by somebody like you.
Fabulous attention to detail. Are there going to be any follow ups. I would love to see it finished out in the sunlight.
Thanks for watching! Gotten this question a lot. It's possible I'll do a follow up video to this video like a part 2. Nothing planned currently. I have many videos that need to be edited that are incredible and need my attention.
I would expect the rs5 to return tho. How I wash my car kinda video or something like that.
Love the clam shell hood. Same as my A4. Hides the hood seam so well.
Agreed!
Finally! Such a nice car. Enjoyed seeing it.
I'm a big Audi guy. So this one is probably a long term keeper. Very possible we see a hybrid or electric one next gen. So this is basically the rarest trim for a combustion RS5. Just need to add a RS6 Wagon performance now. And a last gen R8. Three cars id probably never sell.
Now I’m trying to figure out what point in the process it was at when I saw it. I don’t remember the forgeline wheels on it.
@@dixonkGT3 you came end of November. I think I had OEM wheels and winter tires on. Summer/ForgeLight is in storage 👍
@@STATUSDETAIL Well the car looked classy and that color was spectacular. Congrats on the car and good to see you back on RUclips putting out good content.
@@dixonkGT3 Thanks! Good to be back. Always a pleasure to see you around the channel 🙂🙂
Hey
Very nice detail and video, you really can do a fantastic job. 👌😁
Are you using mild or strong leather cleaner?
And what company is the leather oli from 😊
Mild.
Leatherque I believe is how it's spelled. It's in statusdetailstore.com interior page.
Thanks!
That video was so addictive! Literally 41 minutes went by like 10. ❤😮😅
Love to hear that!! Been trying to edit the videos in a specific way to make it so they are very watchable. So I love hearing stuff like this it makes me know I'm on the right track when I edit!
Very nice video and informative 👍
Thanks for watching 🙂
Nice car. I just ordered a SQ8 in ASCARI blue! Great to see it in person. I had a McLaren 650s with a alcantera steering wheel. Never ever again. They are horrible. Within 12k miles it gets worn, matted down. I made sure that my Audi has their nice leather golf ball wheel
Sweet! I'm planning on a SQ7 soon 😃
Yes the perforated golf ball style leather steering wheel is awesome. Grab a Gyeon leather brush from my store with gyeon leather cleaner. The divots in wheel will want to build up with dirt. The brush does a good toothbrush style effect to clean it out.
Your going to love the color. It's very different In shade or cloudy day vs full sun. I love it !!
Alcantara isn't terrible if you keep up with maintenance. But if you never clean or maintenance it then it will get matted and smashed and look pretty awful. Never have lotion or anything before you drive! Lol
Leather is much easier to care for.
Such impressive work! That leather treatment is something I want to do....I already have all the Gyeon products including the brush, so I'm 95% ready. I guess you're going to be first in line for the Gyeon Purify products!
I'm not sure what gyeon purify is but you got me interested. Leatherique and the gyeon process together is VERY diy friendly. Just very time consuming
@@STATUSDETAIL Gyeon has a ton of new products coming Q1, including lots of EVO. Purify is a line of antimicrobial that has 90 days+ staying power. Gyeon Show was just held in NYC. Pretty exciting. ruclips.net/video/PommikGjjLI/видео.html
@@STATUSDETAIL Purify line is at 9:50 ruclips.net/video/PommikGjjLI/видео.html
Super cool video!! Love the RS5! Sad to hear about the burnout:( really excited for the Ferraris
Thanks for watching! Everything is balanced out now👍next video is likely a rare Nismo GTR. Then the speciale. Then many Porsche vids lol.
I miss going though this process on my dream toy. It’s so satisfying when it’s yours. The zen you’re talking about is called Flow State. When you’re proficient and passionate about a skill, you enter that flow state when you’re performing it.
Wrestlers do it, artists do it, runners do it, software engineers do it…..detailers do it
@@wesoakes well I achieved maximum paint correction flow state lol. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂🤝
I drove this exact car at Fort Washington's sister Mercedes store! I'm more of an M car buyer, but when I 1st saw it on the lot, it was very captivating! Very unique vehicle. I was swayed somewhat!
Oh no kidding. That's interesting! I like m cars too. We just bought a x5m comp lol
YES!! I love paint correction....but I hate meeting time frames lol which I know is all part of the business. But when im able to take my time, I love it just like your saying. it is was I specialize in as well, im trying slowly trying to ONLY do that and ceramic coatings, but for the time being gotta do it all some what.
Totally agree. And I definitely did a bunch of jobs that I didn't always want to do in the beginning I'm very fortunate now we're 99% of the work I do is the really high end stuff and it's what I'm most excited about and most passionate about in that typically means it's the best work because you're most excited to do it. It's always best to seek a service from a person who's excited to do the work versus just happy to make the money but doesn't want to clean all though nasty stuff out of the back seat of someone's kid car for example. In my opinion you just get a different caliber of work when it's like your passion project is also your work project in the customers just win big in this situations. I try not to put crazy timelines on myself either I book pretty reasonable amounts of time to do customer cars. The problem with my personal cars is I have unlimited time and then it's spirals out of control lol
Great video. Love how ocd you are. I feel better about my ocd issues. :-)
Lol I'm glad I'm helping the OCD community haha.
Thanks for watching! Getting close to the nismo GTR video release!
Great looking car, great shade of blue, very nice, i hope she treats you well for years to come!
Thank you! 🙂👍🤝
Καλοτάξιδο φίλε με προσοχή ❤
I can t read that unfortunately:(
Amazing attention to detail
Thank you 👍
You might like some of my other videos if your new to the channel
Great vid!
Thank you!
Awesome video and car, my RS3 will be here in June!!! Don't put in the activated charcoal filters. Too restricive for the vac blower, cuts down the volume of air, it's like putting a quilt in-between the fan and the plenum. Use the factory cabin filter.
Oh interesting. I'm pretty sure what I used was the oem filter but I couldnbe wrong.
Great to see you back on here don't forget to take time out and recharge your batteries 👍
Great to be back. I'm definitely energized and ready for the next edit. I'll start tonight or tomorrow on it! Definitely balancing proper breaks in too. 👍👍
“THHHIIISSSSS” 😂
(Job WELL done btw)
Thanks!
I have one of the 25 coupe Ascari launch edition cars. Only 5800 miles on mine. Great car
That's awesome! I forget that they did the coupe ones. Enjoy 🙂👍
amazing work sir!!!!
Thank you 🙂🙂
So using the term, "Disaster," isn't fair - kind of leading us to think one thing, maybe I might use the word, "clickbait." But regardless, that's an awesome car and color to choose! I'm going to wait a couple years for my friend "depreciation," to kick in and I'm going to pick up a 2024 RS6 Avant Performance in Florette Silver and then probably do a Matte Clear PPF. You have a great characteristic in "attention to detail." Keep up the good fight! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Having kinda crippling burn out that basically shut my RUclips down and really destroyed my enjoyment of a expensive purchase like this is a disaster in my opinion. Especially when I'm a car enthusiast and I get tremendous enjoyment from stuff like this but it turned into.... Well. A disaster.
I want a rs6 too! I'll definitely have a little Audi collection in the future 🙂
@@STATUSDETAIL It can be overwhelming too when your brain won't let go of "something," that HAS to be done no matter how little or insignificant it might be! I have horrible OCD and a perfectionist so it can drive me mad - it's not fun. Take care of #1! YOU! Have a great weekend!
@@MidwestMotor I totally understand what that is like. I'm very meticulous and OCD too.
Enjoy your weekend as well 🙂
My Navarro blue RS5 needs your skill applied to it. Especially after the last wash I did swirled my paint so bad 😢 needs correction and protection asap!
Id love to help. Head over to StatusDetail.com and hit the contact us button 👍🙂
Great vid. Congrats on that car!
Thank you 🙂👍
I am a keen detailer but paint correction scares me. I have had a lesson on the process but even though it looks easy in the hands of a professional I found it difficult and paid my teacher to do my car himself. I have been washing cars for 25 years but only in the last 5 years I would say I have attained the standard of a detailer. I was recently entrusted with a brand new Q5 adorned in a "special blue" Audi colour that came up a treat but I recently came across Mitchell & King products in Scotland about 5 minutes from my house who are specialty wax manufacturers with hand poured waxes which I love working with. I liked and subscribed and look forward to more of your content. Are you the American equivalent of White Details here in the UK?
Thanks for watching! Paint correction can be very simple once you get the hang of it. Keep pushing learning and it will click 👍
I'm not sure I can compare myself to other detailers lol.
I'll safely say I'm very good at what I do and I like sharing my process. I think white details would say something similar if asked that question.
Awesome video, I wanted to ask what brush do you use to clean the leather please?
Gyeon leather brush. And detail factory brush. Both available on statusdetailstore.com thanks for watching.
It’s a beautiful car. I’d prefer it in charcoal metallic but it’s a truly beautiful car!❤
Thanks 🙂👍
I just subscribed your channel Evan. To show my support on your channel. I have A5 S Line Quattro 2.0 Sportback. Congrats on your RS5 Sportback. Looks sweet and stunning.
Thanks for supporting the channel! Need more Audi favs around 🙂👍
1st time viewer. Excellent video! Your attention to detail & describing why & why not is very helpful!
Yes, take breaks!! Burnout can ruin a love that you sometimes can't ever get back!!
Also if I might add my $.02. If you have stickers to remove from windows, try your heat gun to warm up the adhesive, it eases removal/clean-up.
Speaking of heat. Would a "hair dryer" speed up the drying process for the carpets instead of letting sit for a day to dry? Just a thought. 😁
Good call on the heat gun that is a good idea. The hair dryer might work but you always have to be careful of not overheating fibers in carpets as they can burn easily.
I'm so glad you found the channel and I hope you enjoy some of the other videos I've made as well! A lot of great videos are incoming very soon!
I have a Nardo gray 2019 sportback. Comes with all the buttons and no soft limiter. I probably will have it forever. One of the beat Audis I've ever driven.
Nice! Agreed I don't think I'll sell this one
22:25 as an audi tech, the a5 series cars have the worst cabin filter placement. like almost all the others are the exact same but for some reason its recessed in the a5s and way more annoying. dont know why the did that on these. also a tip, assuming you have cpo coverage. right before the end of cpo bring it in to a dealership and say you had a coolant low warning. these V6s have a common issue where the water pump fails and leaks internally and coolant spreads through all the vacuum lines. its a 6-7k repair if out of warranty. beatiful car nonetheless.
That's interesting on the filter lol.
Also interesting on the water pump leak! I need to double check with my warranty runs out and like a year. Just have factory warranty for now.
@STATUSDETAIL yea, I've seen it happen as early as 20k miles and I actually have an SQ5 currently in my bay with coolant migration at 70k. they all get it it's just a guessing game of when. there is an extended warranty company called audi vsc platinum I think and they're actually pretty good about covering stuff from what I've seen, so if it doesn't happen by the end of warranty they'll be worth a look. not trying to scare you about it but it's not really something that's avoidable. better to know than not lol.
@@etrcentenario9737 not scared at all. Just appreciate your comment and the information 🤝👍
Love your work! Is there a part two coming?
Not planned but never say never. Could be fun to body shop the hood. Dry ice. Do more mods.
I'm considering fun mods in future but probably over a year out.
At some point I'm going to fully redo my s2000. It is my first car. I want to rebuild it and "option it" send it to custom interior guy. Repaint it something fun. Probably turbo build. Goal will be to build the most epic s2000 in history.
That will need to be a multiple part series. it will take a very long time to complete. Coming.... Eventually!
@@STATUSDETAIL Let the bank balance recover
@@bigstickerperformance6670 lol definitely!
After watching your complete detail if you where in Australia 🇦🇺 I would definitely use your services on my Porsche great workmanship if only other people in your industry had you commitment.
Thank you a d thanks for watching 🙂
Glad you bought yourself a nice car you can put some quality time into, Evan. See you in a few months (SB Carrera T).
Looking forward to your visit! My s4 reached the point that I didn't care and didn't wash it. Now I have a car I actually need to wash again lol. Enjoying the car care process on my personal car 🙂👍
Hell year dude love the content
Thank you for watching 🙂🙂👍👍
@STATUS DETAIL Greatest detail,may I know if it's ok for you to review our foam cannon S V3.0?Thanks in advance!😊
