I am excited to see this. Had a horrible day and your vids always help me zone out. It's nice to see a mess get turned completely around producing a thing of beauty. Gives me hope...
I hope the rest your day gets better! I agree, these videos always help me relax and decompress
Hope it helped mate!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing your final words, I believe, are what I was meant to watch this video for.
We have been caring for my father who has dementia and anyone who’s dealt with it knows how painful it can be. The individuals truly believe certain things are or are not happening in their mind’s own scenarios, and they will stick to that to their dying breath, even though it’s completely opposite most of the time. The anger and cruelty that they can express toward the loved ones that are trying to take care of them is the most painful part because we are reaching out with hope and love so that they might be comfortable and often times they simply return the sentiments with insults or anger or even sometimes hitting.
I often times have only been able to get through the day, reminding myself that the Lord God goes through the same thing with us. He is a perfect, righteous, and holy God completely separate from wrongdoing. Our sin, even when we do the smallest of things, it’s just like my dementia ridden loved one who treats me poorly and in my heart and all I wanna do is help.
I was so excited to see your video. I haven’t watched for sometime, simply haven’t had the opportunity, my life completely changed when we had to change the living arrangements to bring them into our house. The end of your video was the reason and I thank you for offering and let it be a testament that sometimes when the Lord inspires us to say or do something, it’s purpose may not be revealed for hours, or days, weeks or even possibly years, before we realize and see the fruit of the work that he asked us to do. You may have thought that it was simple words that you offered in the end, said with love and dedication for our Lord, but maybe what you didn’t realize is that he was using you in that very moment to inspire me, to let me know that I am not alone, and there always is hope in the arms of the Lord. Love you friend!
Have a great day today !
@vdgitaliano My heart and prays go out to you and your family in what must be such a difficult and trying time.
Thank you for also reminding me that
God’s plan isn’t always revealed when we want it to be, I also need to hear that my friend and to be more patient.
“Yet I am never alone, for the Father is always with me.” God is good.
That wasn’t a video, it was pure art.
As an F owner I really loved this one! 👌
Greatly appreciate that mate!
I absolutely live for this style of video you produce Sandro, i know what ill be settling in to watch tonight!!
Really nice to hear that mate, hope you enjoyed it!
Yes, he always raises the bar with every review and video 👌👌👌
I have this color on both of my Lexus's, they look absolutely stunning when all dialed in.
WOWW! This is absolutely flawless. Amazing job!
Thanks mate!
When I zoom to fill it fits my 21:9 screen perfectly. I appreciate that you shoot in this format.
Impecable approach & outstanding results, Sandro. 👌🏼
Thank you mate!
Came for the detail and got a bonus motivational TED talk.
Best detailing videos on RUclips by far. Never stop making these, Sandro. Thanks for all the extra work it takes to make them.
Really appreciate that mate, thanks!
Another Amazing detail restoration job mate. God Bless you for all the great content you continue to provide us. Cheers.....
Precision detailing as per usual, excellent job Sandro 👌🏻
Sandro - No one does it better! Absolutely fantastic! You inspired me to look at new and used RC-Fs. Even here in the States, the price tag is more than a bit beyond my budget....
God bless you for giving Him a shout-out at the end of your video. It's a fact; God loves us and is just waiting for us to turn to Him in these troubled times. He gave us free will; so, He'll never force anyone, but HIs arms are wide open.
Thank you mate and Amen!
Stunning mate. This is where detailers send their cars 😊
Thank you mate!
Always a master class .
Omg, it’s Sandro AND a Lexus, AND a beautiful model&color. God what a treat on my bday lol
Happy Birthday Mate!!
Sandro, thank you so much for sharing your efforts and time. Just such a lovely job you made of this car. Fantastic. All the best from Ontario, Canada. 🙂
Sandro,
As always, wonderful work on all fronts.
One gold nugget that you brought-up that you have me thinking-about is the sheer number of metallic flakes in that paint. All metallics are not created equal. My Honda has the ubiquitous Crystal Black Pearl; having repainted my own hood, I can tell you that the number of basecoats applied with metallic paint is not trivial. Lexus and Toyota do not f-around with their higher-end paint products.
What I’d like to offer/reinforce, is that no matter how proficient of a detailer anyone is, you cannot save the quality of the basecoat you’re working-on. Can you wet-sand clear and get panels to a literal mirror? Absolutely. Can numerous coats of high-end coatings help level-out imperfections? Possibly. But if the car doesn’t have a high-quality paint-job from the factory or upon restoration, you will quickly find the limits of what detailing can deliver.
Thanks again Sandro. This video reaffirms why my next car will probably be a Lexus product. Cheers.
Thank you mate and as someone who has always cherished OEM paint, particularly the better and more generous OEM paint jobs, you’re spot on. Lexus is doing right, always more original paint on everyone I detail and high quality paints and processes which has also made me favour the brand.
Hi Sandro. The Lexus is definitely better than new! I really enjoyed this video. Your explanation of each step of the process was so thorough that I learned a great deal. You definitely have the best detailing channel . Your work is second to none. I’m looking forward to seeing more great videos! Cheers from Canada.
Thank you mate, greatly appreciate that!
Let’s goo another video 👍🏻👍🏻
Love the Lords work sir! Always love and enjoy this channel.
As a ISF Owner, I really enjoyed this video
Indeed! Also really nice to hear you enjoyed this one.
Excellent as always Sandro. When I saw the grill I was interested to see how you tackled that as I have a Mark X that I always struggle with 😆
Another great, in depth video - I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much!
So nice to hear that mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Best artistic detailing videos on the tube.
Thank you for another outstanding video. God bless you too brother, and have a great week.
Thank you so much!
Stunning as always. What a beautiful car to work on.
Thanks and agreed, amazing car!
Wow 😮
always awesome to see another sandro detail
Beautiful work as always ✅
Thank you mate!
Such a sweet ride, doin' me a heckin envy.
That engine bay fascinated me the most ! I must try at least to do something like that ... I know it's not gonna be anywhere close but I don't mind the learning curve ...
Engine bays are always one of my most satisfying areas to detail - maybe also give this video a watch as it goes more in-depth on engine cleaning:

Hi Sandro, as always, exquisite finish, exquisitely filmed. Being very picky, it would have been nice to have the products used shown either in the top banner or mentioned in your narrative.
Yes, Sandro, first! Love the content man!!!!
Thank you mate!
Great video as always Sandro you only know how to superior work and you just excel at anything you do As for journey it can be tough and lonely but i think abour the customer so i put everything into the joy it will bring them when they see their car Plus if you get knocked down 6 times you get up 7 We all have different reasons why we detail but deep down we do it for the love of it Thats the driving force In Sandro we trust keep them come and keep the journey going
Thank you mate and your passion and dedication always shine through in every comment- stay strong my friend!
That Lexus is getting the concierge treatment😂. Nice.
Japo car 😮
#1 Sandro!
It would be great to make a video about your failures, errors, mistakes over your carreer 😊
Excellent work
Thank you!
Damn haha very nice car rcf. U seem to detail every car I think lmao.
Oh yes here we go 👍👍👍
🙂 hope you enjoy it mate!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing absolutely loved it Wow what a result you are the King . Watching your vids and learning so much from you is costing me money lol. BigBoi Washr pro, bigboi swirl light , big boi blowr , coating thickness meter. ( Glad I learnt that from you with doing my friends 2004 black Ferrari 575m, he got 3rd in his category for the North of England) . Shinemate mini polisher superb. You are helping us all the time thankyou very much. God bless . 👍
@petesreef1891 wow fantastic mate, well done and so nice hear that, I’m sure you’ve put so much hard work into it but sounds like it been very rewarding, God Bless.
Warning ❗️- Genius at work 🤷🏻♂️👌🏼
🙂
Fantastic 👌👌👌
Have you ever had a weird Grey effect after wiping down with eraser or IPA. Not the swirls or haze showing up better but almost like something was left behind. Had it happen and wasn't sure what it was from. Thought I'd pick your brain.
Not sure about the ‘grey effect’ you’ve had, but I’ve had IPA solutions sometimes mar soft/sensitive paints which can look like patchiness and inconsistency in the finish - diluting the IPA further and/or spraying it directly to cloths rather than directly on the paint can help eliminate the issue.
🫡 my man! Appreciate yah. That crossed my mind and ended up switching to car pro eraser and new towels. @CarCraftAutoDetailing
Thank you Sandro for another amazing video shows your amazing skills and working attitute!! May I ask when you will have a new detailing course? Thank you and God bless you too!
Thank you mate and I’m hoping to have some new training dates up next month.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing looking forward to it!! Can’t wait to join you!
Hey Sandro, go grab 2-3 coffees tomorrow.
Thank you so much mate!
It didn’t click to me immediately why you were asking about my coffee drinking habits 🙂
Better Than Showroom Shape!
Can you give me your review on the Shinemate ERO600?
The Ero600 G2 seems like an amazing no frills polisher that will take down giants - it’s a pocket rocket, very torquey and capable, bit noisy - really liking it
What chemical did you use in the tornador for cleaning the engine bay? Same for when you used the brush to scurb those last few areas,
Did you use the MV Snow foam + for the alkaline prewash?
Just a fyi, some of the links you posted are not for the product that you list. Ex the Shinemate EB210, is the same link for the shinemate Ex605 that you have listed. So it's just a duplicate. Speaking off how has the EB210 been.performing?
I am looking at purching one as a "1-3" inch Polishing tool.
This is one of my favorite Lexus vehicles and you did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!
Thanks and fixed the EB210 link - it’s an amazing machine and my No.1 mini polisher of all time.
Shine Supply WiseGuy 1:10 was used in the Tornador and Shine Supply Solution (neat) was used with the brushes, and yes Nv Snow+ was the pre-wash.
@CarCraftAutoDetailing
Good to hear about the EB210. I was actually going to purchase UT after it came out but decided to wait and glad I did. There where many.issues with some of the backing plates falling or flying if the machine had " they fixed the issue, of course."
I like the fact that you can even do sanding with this unit. As well as the differnt attachementd etc!
I have to day again, but I really do love this Lexus V8, one of my most favorite touring sports cars that Lexus has made. That V8 sounds so beautiful!
Great job again, Sandro!
Thanks again for the info!

👍👍👍
Hello. Can I ask you a few questions? Being very good at detailing, could you give me some tips? For example, a car that has a lot of scratches, marks and corrections, what is the best thing to do? Also on a car that is 2020-2024 with light and minor scratches? I am interested in the most important thing to know about polishing. I watched a lot of your videos, but I want you to tell me how, what and how. I know my questions are not easy to answer but please help me as I started last week I am 15 years old and I am really obsessed and want to learn everything about detailing and from the best.I really like it and really appreciate how much work you put into not only the cars but also the video processing, because this gram is not an easy job. The videos are perfect everywhere, nothing I can say, just perfect.Good regards 😊
Car paint with severe defects will tend to require a heavy compounding stage typically using a wool or microfibre fibre pad - if it’s a soft paint it could be a foam cutting pad - with a coarse cutting compound - again if the paint is very soft that could be a medium compound. After the cutting stage you would then finish with a foam finishing or polishing pad - if the paint is hard that could also be an intermediate foam pad - and a finer polish- again on harder paints that could be a medium or one step compound.
Car paint that has only minor defects will tend to only require a single stage of polishing - on harder paints that could be a one step with a medium compound and pad, on softer paints that could be a softer foam pad and fine polish.
There’s more to it like measuring paint, sometimes sanding, all the vital prep work, paint correction technique and methods that I simply can’t answer here in this format- that’s why I make the videos to both explain, shown and give tips, and if you keep on watching detailing videos and then keep on practicing you will get there my young friend - best wishes Sandro.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingThank you very much for everything you told me above. I really appreciate it. I'm amazed at how good you are. But I want to ask you one more thing. What products do you usually use? What machines do you usually use as I'm new and what would you recommend? I would really appreciate it if you could help me. I'm just 15 goffins, I'm super keen, I watch some videos, but I would only trust a specialist like you.
I’ll give you a link to the first video in a 4 part series I did on my favourite detailing products and tools - that is the gear I use and recommend personally:

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks very much man. But i don't know anything about machines. Can you recommend anything?
@dimitarrajdanov5501 maybe have a look at the Shine Mate EX620-15
Great video, as always, Sandro, your so good at what you do. Set tge bar high as always 💙 have a had the chance to try out the labocosmetica products as yet?
Thanks and yes, I sampled quite a few of the brands products a couple of years ago and found it to be an overall solid lineup.
@CarCraftAutoDetailing my favorite and also I do use quite a bit of the same products that you're using, like NV, Carpro, and a few other
Sandro …. Can you list your soundtrack please? Where can I find out about your classes too.
If you scroll down all the tracks and artists are listed in the description box - here's a link to the course details: www.waxit.com.au/collections/detailing-workshops?ref=1NNwBEgP4yO4AX
G force has been getting so much stick everytime I mention it on a video so many comments of hate towards carpro kills me being honest but I'm still using it and loving it no bonding issues great durability or am I the 1% getting a good bottle and everyone else must be duds ?? What we saying sandro ??
What a peaceful video. I just saw your review about Carpro Lite ceremic coating that you posted 5 years ago. What is your thought about it? Do you still like it? Have you used it with Gliss as a topper?
Thanks and yes I still believe CQLite is an unbelievably value oriented coating that is easy to apply and performs so well - I’ve not tried it with Gliss on top.
Have you tried Shine Supply Hot Shot as a pre-treatment? From my understanding, it has a higher pH compared to NV Nova Snow+
wil you be reviewing the nova evo v2?
Yes would like to do a video review if time allows
Did you polish and ceramic coat the grill? Amazing works as always
🙏❤️ Love Scotland ❤️🙏
Thanks mate, so greatly appreciate all the love throughout all the years!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing absolutely no prob Sir… not watched much detailing stuff anymore but appreciate following your journey . Incredible how far you come on .
Hola mi estimado
Cuantas horas te lleva el trabajo y cuanto cobras por un servicio así?
Hey Sandro. Is there a reason you used the ERO600 G2 with the 9mm orbit vs the EX620 in this detail? I'll likely be buying the ex620 as my first polisher soon, but this it the first I've seen of the ero600.
No particular reason, just been testing out the new ERO600 G2 and decided to use it on that job. The EX620s are still superior machines but the new ERO is a gem that can certainly do the job.
Excellence as usual, Sandro!
Let me ask you this: I've tested and liked, instead of using IPA after drying the car, I do the last cleaning stage with a soft degreaser - citron vonixx - and honestly had superb results, what do you think about it?
Thanks but I don’t quite understand why you’d go back to cleaning with a degreasing soap after the car has been cleaned and dried - this would be best done during the wash/decon stage.
An IPA (isopropyl alcohol) panel wipe is quite unique in that, apart from cleaning and drying, it’s just about the only cleaner that doesn’t leave its own residue behind, which makes it the best final wipe down product - every other detergent/chemical leaves residue. The goal should be to have the paint/trims as clean, dry and bare as possible after a decontamination process.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Oh! no, it's used before the drying stage, but I see your point, indeed, the IPA leaves the paint completely bare, thanks again for the quick response, you're amazing.
Sandro, what polish did you use on the glass? Was this the S20 Black as well? Thanks again!
Yes it was
Bloody oth SANDRO you have done it again! Love some Japanese V8 and these sound so good.
Did you clean under the engine cover and have you had a chance to up grade your ride on mower headlights,
Cheers bro.
Hope you enjoyed it mate! Didn’t remove the engine cover and thanks for reminding me about the JD lights - will have a search for them online now 🙂
Is that an upgraded shinemate 12mm polisher? Nice job!
Thanks and it’s a new version 2 of the Shine Mate ERO600 (G2) generation 2.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing oh ok, it's 9mm orbit
Hi mate, love the video as always. What pre-wash do you use? Thanks!
It’s Nv Snow+ - should be listed in the description box
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingSorry mate, missed it there. Appreciate it once again. Thanks!
Question, will you be doing a video review on anti vibration gloves?
Just for you my friend 🙂:
ruclips.net/video/JYckJOyPk_k/видео.htmlsi=q2a8jFNgQPo1U7rW
@CarCraftAutoDetailing 😜😜Yes, thank you! I remember that one, but I've seen you with this new one, and it looks cool after a year 😜😜 Wondering if you have tested more after a year
@1stfrompuertorico568 they are still the same gloves, I have tested quite a few different one but these are definitely the most effective ones - at least for me.
@CarCraftAutoDetailing I have ProFlex 9003 Certified Lightweight Anti-Vibration Gloves, but they are not like yours where you can cut out the tip of fingers. I will have to try to find those you have and also let you know which one I liked, but most definitely I liked that you can cut off the tip.
Hey Sandro,
I bought a small bottle of the GForce glass coating. Haven't tried it yet
Do you know how this performs in comparison to NV Glass, as far as approx speed required to start seeing water leaving the glass? Also, could you keep the coating going much longer by using carpro clarify ph2obic as a topper every wash?
Thanks
I’m not sure of the specific water contact angles of both coatings, but they are both very good in that area. The car speed in which the water runs up the glass is always different on every car I own - that’s the added variable of the car’s aerodynamics.
Yes, I think ph2obic is a great way to maintain GForce, maybe used once a month or every couple months depending on how much use the car gets and if it’s the wet or dry season.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingthanks for the reply Sandro. Good point about aerodynamics. Some products say youll get water dispersing around 40kmh some say over 60kmh. Just looking for something that will help at lower speeds as most driving around melbourne is probably 60 or lower unless on the freeways. Ill give GForce a go and see how it performs. I had a bit of left over ceramic coating that i applied to my windscreen recently. It works well at 80kmh but doesnt do much under this other than beading. Cheers
Hey again Sandro, quick question for you. Being a Shinemate aficionado, do you ever change the grease in your polishers? Ive just bought an ex620 15mm and Ive seen videos on various detailing channels where they recommend swapping out the factory grease for a better quality lithium grease (not just in shinemate brand) , which supposedly will reduce noise and give better longevity to the machine. Thoughts on this please mate
Having that very question put to Shine Mate themselves, they strongly discourage that practice. The grease they use is a high quality long life specific grease to the machines and also applied in a dust/debris free facility. Additionally, I’ve put over a thousand hours on some of their machines, never changing it with zero issues. So my advice would be, don’t try and fix a problem that doesn’t exist 🙂
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingwow ok thanks mate. I was looking for reviews on it and found one by Brian Spitler at Apex Auto Detail where he strips the 620 down and changes the grease. Yvan Lacroix does it too but on a different brand.
I have an Apex Customs Sensei Plus which I've been using for 2 years, haven't changed any grease and it's still going fine. I bought the 620 today from you know where, because the Backing plate on mine apex machine isn't holding pads very well and I can't get a replacement backing plate.
Thanks again for your help.
Hey mate, further to my previous query regarding changing grease in the polishers, i received my EX620 machine yesterday and had a read through the manual. Under maintenance section it mentions "every 6 months or 200-300 hours of operation, the gearbox of the machine needs to be filled with lubricant. It is recommended to use Mobil EP1 lithium grease".
💯👌
Love your videos Sandro, been following and watching them since 2020.
Are you able to give some advice/info on correcting the headlights and rear lights lightly like you did in this video, please? Does this remove or reduce their factory UV protection at all? Does anything need to be done to make up for that?
Thanks!
Thanks mate, and just approach the lights the same as you would car paint/clear coat - some have harder and some have softer clear coat - so just use the lightest combination that removes the light defects and restores gloss and clarity. Applying a couple layers of a ceramic coating once you’re done can also be a good way to go.
First!
