Don't doubt your audience Sandro, we appreciate the content you bring to us. True enthusiasts can see the differences made to even the worst paint jobs. It was a great improvement and that coating really added that extra something. Shame it costs so much. A good vid, keep them coming 👍
Nice job. Your brother took had the right person bring it back to life. Nicely done showing the results of Metallicut. I have been enjoying it myself. Also for showing Cquartz Leather and explaining how to use it. I enjoy using it on my leather and vinyl interior. I just coated the vinyl dash on my daily driver with it to see how it does.
Very grateful for the educational value of this experiment, especially as a Vespa owner & lover myself. I'd request that you attack a newer wide body model too (e.g.GTS300), as they are relatively very decent quality, and classically stylish, so the results should be great. Vespas have been growing hugely in popularity this last couple of decades.
Sandro, that's so much effort for such a neglected vehicle, but goes to show how you can still make huge improvements to the finish. Congrats on another incredible transformation. 👍
I think videos of this nature have a lot of value. It just shows what can be achieved on a poor finish & could motivate someone that’s given up to give it a go. Or, in my case is inspiring that I can achieve a good result. Speaking of ceramic coatings, do you have a suggestion for a good product that isn’t terribly expensive that can be purchased at a local auto parts store?
Awww... Cute! There is nothing that cannot be improved with the right Knowledge, Effort, Tools and Time. This was very refreshing, something completely different!
Great video! I think it was important to show that as detailers we cant always get that showroom finish. We are limited by the condition of the paint. You did make a vast difference to the paint and brought the paint back to life Keep the videos coming
Sandro, that's not orange peel - that's a pineapple peel! LOL! Great job! That's a lot of work...came out amazing especially considering what you had to work with. I'm really glad you did the video because sometimes all people are after are improvement. Working on high-end near perfect vehicles probably actually takes the least amount of pure talent. Taking something hammered like this and making it look amazing takes real talent and patience. PS - if you don't know the story behind the Vespa do yourself a favor and find the documentary about it. That little scooter helped pull Italy out of the post WWII hole it was in.
One your best videos , sometimes the vehicles honesty is what we want to see come through and not just ultra shiny paint - the worst thing your brother could do to it is have it painted ... a good detailing was the perfect choice - I ride Vespas too - you should film customer reactions sometimes- brilliant videos thank you
Good video. Detailers I’ve encountered don’t want to take on cases like this; but many folks, like me, seeks professional work on old or worn paint (like a 29 year old Alfa Romeo).
Its something different but sure nice to see an iconic vehicle beeing rejuvenated better than it was!! The music choice when you are explaining how important it is to prep the vehicle properly is splendid :) :) Maybe you could have tried going after with the white Rupes pad and polish for that last touch of clarity?? All in all a great video Sandro!!
Vespa project is smart, you don't need to mask any parts against water cleaning pressure or soap, just need to be accurate when you split water on some parts of scooter :-) Carburettor air entrance on nose have holes in the bottom of chassis to drain water and tachometer have a nice rubber grommet all around it.
A labor of love! I still reckon you could take your videos to the next level by capturing a few seconds of the owners first reaction. I know you are about the art and science of detailing but it would broaden the appeal of your videos for sure.
I love your work Sandro...and please dont get me wrong...but honestly why go through all the trouble..when a respray would be quite an easy diy job and achieve a much better outcome with years of life put back onto the panels..even with your work the paint is technically thinner now and would need to be dealt with in a matter of time anyway...how much did you charge for the job...i bet the cost of paint and materials would come in close....lovely presentation and as always a top notch job!!! Also why dont we ever see you..the star of the show!!
It is too bad you are in Oz and not near where I live because I would have a project for you. I restored a 1963 GL Vespa about 13 years ago. It was a bare metal strip and respray with high quality Glasurit paint, NOS parts and re-chroming. Kids came alone and the scooter has sat in the garage as a target for errant skateboards and bicycles I pulled the Vespa out a few weeks ago to get it running again and noticed some of the scars from 13 years of being a bicycle magnet If nothing else, I will find a detailer locally and get them to watch your instructional video Thank you
Vespa,Alfa Romeo,Sandro. Are you of Italian origin,Sandro? Btw.,love all your videos,man. I don't think I have missed one. Real passionate and perfectionist.
What kind of flashlight did you use for checking the high spots on the coating? Also, amazing job on the Vespa! I had no idea it would look that good given the condition it was at previous.
Great video and outcome! How would you deal with 1) chrome trim and 2) vinyl stripes - for example, on a Vespa Rally 200 or Vespa ET3 - would you tape them and detail them differently or keep them exposed? Thanks!
What have you used for the wheels ? I use Bilt Hamber auto foam like your YT detailing colleague Forensics suggested. Best pre wash/ wheel cleaner I've ever tried.
Sandro, love your channel. While using the air rotary tool, what is pressure is your compressor set to and from start to finish, how long did it take? Great work!
just so you know, your nvwheel cleaner link in your description takes you to " page not found " if your an affiliate and your wanting revenue from links id suggest getting that one corrected. otherwise I can see all the other products through links
So, i obviously really like these videos but i really like cleaning my vehicles myself. I´d really like to try and get better at it, actual detailing and stuff like that but im not sure where to start since im somewhat of a perfectionist, aka i´d rather take my bike apart and literally make it new than to just clean it. obviously thats not always gonna work tho. So, what would you recommend for starting up? what tools and cleaners should make the base?
Good video, nice job but never ever put products on handles and controls, even if they aren't slippery. In case of seat I'm not sure if leather protectant is slick or not. Hope it's latter.
Sandro have you ever burnt through the clear coat? I just spent last 5 days correcting my mazda 3 mps, was doing the whole car with the blue hdo pads and precision, using shine mate polishers both mini and the 605, I did the whole car without issue, but when I went to start the polishing phase I noticed that there were still quite a few defects left on the roof, so I went with the lake country MF pads and The last cut to try and get out the last of the stubborn defects, I think I may have left the polisher spinning in the same spot for a few seconds as I was adjusting around the cable, and then with the later wipe off I noticed an area around 10mm x 10mm that was standing out, and yep it burnt through the clear in that area, so pretty disappointed in the end, now knowing that I would need a roof respray to sort the issue, the car does have slight damage on the bonnet that I was going to fix this year anyway, but a sobering experience nonetheless, I just quickly measured the paint thickness around the affected area and it is from 115-120 Microns, and I think I already did 2 sets of passes prior to this attempt with the MF pads, just want to learn something from this experience.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks for that, was hoping of maybe getting a detailing franchise sometime this year, but his a knocked my confidence hehe, would hate to do this to someone else's car :) What can you do, accidentally had the polisher in the same position for a few seconds too long while I was adjusting myself damn. Do you have any idea what a roof respray costs?
You could make a video of the reaction of customers to see their vehicles clean, it would be great
Amazing process making a silk purse out of a sow's ear springs to mind , a true professional in your field 👏👏👍🛵
Fantastic video thanks 👍 looks beautiful , love the vespa 👍👍👍

Beautiful job very well documented. You clearly know your craft. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work as usual!
Great job and video! Nothing like a Vespa!
I realy admire your hardwork. amazing job well done Sir!

Man I could sit here for hours and watch you detail. Spot on keep coming with content we’re all here watching and supporting! (From perth) aha 😎
Amazing job, she looks perfect it's great to see a 30 year scooter getting some well deserved tlc.
Fantastic Job, cheers from Vespa Crazy Riders
Underrated video! I would like to request a detailing on a motorcycle as well!
Superb Step by Step video for customers to get the idea how long a detailing session be like, thumbs up!!!!
It's definitely a project where an experience comes through ...
Would be nice to see more of these vespa getting detailed.
I absolutely loved this video. Great story behind that renovating process! Congratulations
Best detailing work ever! So much care and effort invested, well done. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Sandro 👍
Very respectful detail, nicely done :D
Beautiful work - and lucky brother!!

If you’re after more of a ceramic coating spray, Meguiars HCW is readily available and performs quite well
I will bring my vespa to you after renewal and electrification! Looks very neat!
Great work and attention to detail.
Awww... Cute!
There is nothing that cannot be improved with the right Knowledge, Effort, Tools and Time.
This was very refreshing, something completely different!
How thrilled was the client. I’m guessing he said you far exceeded expectations. 👍
great video and information
Evil Knievel would be proud of your mad wheelie skills and superb attention to detail!👍👊👌🍒🎼🎶🤑
This is nothing than amazing its so great🥰
Cool Detailing 👍👍
Super detailing
Stunning work my friend.
Before I had a car, I had a purple Vespa. Happy memories! Awesome job, Sandro! 👍
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing simple freedom mate, can't beat it 👍
Very good job👌👏
It turned out well considering the drawbacks....Nice job Sandro! :) I’m sure your brother was pleased with the outcome.
Great video! I think it was important to show that as detailers we cant always get that showroom finish. We are limited by the condition of the paint. You did make a vast difference to the paint and brought the paint back to life Keep the videos coming

Fantastic!
God that was a huge turn around!!Taking all those parts of the bike was next level!
Aways look forward to your videos!keep up the good work!!😁
I have never seen anyone do this to Vespa
Best
made a good job of that mate.

The little wheelie in the intro really cracked me up 🤣
Hei make lot video similiar like this one from vespa , i love this content ❤️👍🏼
More attractive than a new one

Mai vista una vespa così pulita!
Awesome!

Awesome fella 👌🏻👌🏻 made me want to watch Quadrophenia😎
My thoughts are with you guys shocking images on the news stay safe👊🏻
perfect
Are yes the Vesper. Fun bikes to ride and eat spaghetti on. Can you do my pushbike please????
Great vid ...... Happy new year to you from the UK
I like it 🤗
Removing bolts and screws at 15:47 mark had my stomach in a knot, almost guaranteed with my luck that I would have dropped them down the drain.
Fantastic......

Great video Sandro. Makes me wish I still had my Vespa. Any reason for using microfibre gloves? Thanks.
I bet out of factory they didn't look that good as this one here
What would you have done differently if this was an even older scoot? I have a 1968 and am wary of doing much to such old single-stage paint.
In real world this job would cost like half the price of that vespa .
But a really great job
Did you detail the underside of the Vespa? I didn't see it.
Don't let your big brother hear you knocking his paint job!
How would you polish a restore paint on a motorcycle with graphics? Like a sport bike 🏍
Great video and outcome!
How would you deal with 1) chrome trim and 2) vinyl stripes - for example, on a Vespa Rally 200 or Vespa ET3 - would you tape them and detail them differently or keep them exposed? Thanks!

do you use a 3rd party for then music ? as the music you listed imo requires alot of (C) compliance etc
Can plastic parts be polished??
If they have a gloss finish, yes. Not if they have a satin, matte or textured finish.
Hi Sandro lovely work as usual... can you please inform me where to buy the tornador as im struggling to find it online
Thank you
Yeh $320 seems a bit steep thanks so much for that
Great Job Sandro, when can I book in the Honda Blackbird ?
Hey Sandro, just wanted to get your thoughts on wolf gang Uber rinseless wash compared to carpro ech2o.
Good video, nice job but never ever put products on handles and controls, even if they aren't slippery. In case of seat I'm not sure if leather protectant is slick or not. Hope it's latter.
Question about song Jake Maynard golden rhythms, I cannot find it anywhere. Some help please.
