I do have a question why didn't you just go ahead and respray the whole car with the body kit? I am sure $$ had something to do with it, but knowing how most factory paint and clear is just it is going to degrade much fast than the kit . I told my dad to do the same thing when he painted his hood, bumpers and the rest of his plastics on his 06 gto now 8 years down the road the roof and trunk lid have faded and the clear is starting to bubble but the bumpers and hood look brand new. I am sure Mercedes probably has a better quality paint from factory than Pontiac but I am just curious why not repaint the entire car.
Okay as a fellow detailer I LOVED this vid evan. Thank you for taking the time and doing it right and by yourself! Was very fun to watch the process, would love to see more of your cars get this treatment too!!!
Hands down the best looking Mercedes on RUclips. No doubt, no question. Real life bat mobile. Looks amazing, and I’m not even a fan of Mercedes most of the time
Those words of wisdom really hit me hard I needed to hear that going through a lot lately and have felt that everything is pointless so thank you for reminding me of my worth and the people that need me love you brother. Ps the car looks insane great job
Man I was just talking to my fiancé about your channel and saying I’ve been watching for a long time. So I logged into my old RUclips account and went way back. I’ve been watching your videos for almost 10 years!
I've been using Griot's now for about a year, I bought a combo G8/G9 polisher combo kit and the full line of pads and most any liquid product I would ever need. I've been really happy with everything I've gotten from them. Everything's easy and straightforward to use for it's intended purpose and gets the results I'm after every time.
Thank you Evan!!! Because of these videos he put me on to these griots garage products and now I’m a believer and literally everything I use for detailing is from griots garage.
Hey Evan, I don’t know what size pad you used on the rear quarter panels but I would typically use a 3 inch pad on a panel like that. The reason is so that I don’t have my pad straddling the short distance between the two “peaks”. Other than that I think it came out fantastic.
Straight black paint is super finicky, I love griots products, but just for future Evan the only thing iv found that doesn't leave a haze is sonax perfect finish with the rupes yellow foam pad. That is the absolute best combo I have ever used for finish polishing. Perfect finish is also the best finish polish I have ever used and it's not even close.
Hey Evan! Loving the vids! I was just wondering if you could do a short little video of the specific products you use for detailing and what you would suggest for people starting to detail!! Love ya man!
Love the video bro ham! Great info and technique. Definitely rock with the music used for cinematics. I need you to start shredding on the guitar again in your vids
i moved from Port Orchard WA which is about 45 mins from Tacoma just on the other side of the Narrows Bridge, Port Orchard is by Bremerton and Gig Harbor and Silverdale ETC
Great vid. Awesome to see an old core job from you again. 👏 now wheres that is300? Haha vip build the mk3. XD follow the theme it had haha. If not sold already for other things. Keep it up.
I detail motorcycles and I always try to wash in the shade, if you do it in the sun the soap and any minerals in the water can dry on To the paint and it will leave watermarks.
Just finished applying Ceramic Coating to a new Volkswagen right this minute 1.30 am 😴 and now to watch you detail your beast ✌👌call me a freak but love the torture detailing brings 👍😎😫😊
Love your videos! Any reason you don't do an IPA wipedown between polish and the wax/sealant? I'd imagine some of the haze you see is excess polish engrained in the microscopic crevices.
@@KiranPatel-fk1pg that's why I asked, I owned a detailing business for a while and found that iPa wipe down to really help with the adhesion of the next product you put down.
@@Beefyj1203 Evan isn't a good resource for detailing. I remember back when he used to say he'd charge a lot of money to detail someone's car for them, but then goes and applies a ceramic coating over a wax on his R35 when he first got it.
#evanshanks you should build a Harley Davidson dyna lowrider or a Harley Davison’s Roadglide there amazing bikes I have both something new for the channel that you haven’t done I’m a detailer at a jet city Harley Davidson in renton Washington
Ngl, everything looks so amazing... except the carbon fiber covered parts, look choppy, don't know if it's just me, might need to re-do those. Love the car anyways!
*You clay baring is giving me ptsd, I work at a body shop as a detailer and the other day the painter gabe me the car to detail and clean up and there was primer overspray everywhere, doors, roof, hood, windows, windshield.. so i had to take the putty and soapy water and get all the overspray off and after it felt so smooth but it was a pain in the ass (Also i hate detailing Black paint)*
The mercedes car when you bought it was not into it but after the wide body it looking like the Batmobile makes the Mercedes look meaner with natural body lines A+ content Even.. Would like to meet ya but I cannot cause I lost all walking ability due to covide side effects Such a sick car dude Covid took all my value away from oct 2021 lost my ability to walk drive my rally Mitsubishi now. It just rots in the sun just so sad losing any body part but losing the options to lose your legs is worse cause now I am bedridden 24/7 in bed I have lost all faith in god cause why would he allow me to remain disabled when his promises say he has sent out the best for me but being in bed 24/7 is a curse
So when are you actually going to make videos of you actually working on your cars instead of selling stuff, unboxing stuff, cleaning stuff? You basically make repetitive content every week. 🤦🏻♂️ you have all these cars and yet again, same videos. Take notes from tj hunt
Buy a car, detail car, add suspension and wheels. Rinse and repeat. Seems like the only time things were getting done was when drew was there. And most of the difficult stuff gets passed on to jose or Ethan.

One of the most sinister looking cars I've ever seen. You guys did a AMAZING job on the car. Big props to Jose. *applause*

Quick technical question: did you have to alter the audio for the music? It sounds like it was altered to avoid copyright problems.
I was thinking the same thing, either that or the music wasn’t mastered all that well
This is my favorite luxury sports car. And you very tastefully modded it. Looks awesome.
this is literally the sickest car on YT right now. the amg gt is so slept on. i cant wait to own one with this kit.
Those words of wisdom really hit me hard I needed to hear that going through a lot lately and have felt that everything is pointless so thank you for reminding me of my worth and the people that need me love you brother. Ps the car looks insane great job
I missed your detailing videos
Man I was just talking to my fiancé about your channel and saying I’ve been watching for a long time. So I logged into my old RUclips account and went way back. I’ve been watching your videos for almost 10 years!
Very nice work coming from a professional detailer. Black is so rewarding when done right.
I've been using Griot's now for about a year, I bought a combo G8/G9 polisher combo kit and the full line of pads and most any liquid product I would ever need.

This car is insane such a different build to what a lot of other RUclipsrs are doing atm! In the wise words of Mr TJ Hunt, keep moving forward
Will be honest one of my favorite videos from Evan are those of him detailing his cars lol.
I think that your Mercedes is one of the best looking cars EVER.
Love evans detail videos. SO knowledgeable about everything.
Thank you Evan!!! Because of these videos he put me on to these griots garage products and now I’m a believer and literally everything I use for detailing is from griots garage.
Your videos helped me take the first steps with detailing. Big thank you to you and griots helped me a lot with everything I would need.
this daily advice really helped today evan. thank you so much. btw the car is amazing. keep it up brother. much love
Bro the AMG looks like a transformer. 🔥🔥

Uk fan here fella. I got to say your merc is on another planet no sorry solar system as it’s just unreal how good the car looks 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This gotta be the coolest AMG on the internet 🔥🔥
Looks so good, it looks like a render
Hey Evan! Loving the vids! I was just wondering if you could do a short little video of the specific products you use for detailing and what you would suggest for people starting to detail!! Love ya man!
Sassy Evan is the best Evan. I love Sassy Evan.
Absolute detail God🤯🙌🏼🔥🔥
Amazing job !
Love the video bro ham! Great info and technique. Definitely rock with the music used for cinematics. I need you to start shredding on the guitar again in your vids
That black would looks very good if it had some metalic flakes.
Need to see some rollers of this
It would also be smart after that detailing to get the car a paint protection film.

Great vid. Awesome to see an old core job from you again. 👏 now wheres that is300? Haha vip build the mk3. XD follow the theme it had haha. If not sold already for other things. Keep it up.
Looks amazing. Great job 😎
The car looks sick
Loved the video dude!
DO you suggest washing cars in the shade and not straight in the sun? I always wash mine away from the sun just since the sun dries it out quick.
I detail motorcycles and I always try to wash in the shade, if you do it in the sun the soap and any minerals in the water can dry on To the paint and it will leave watermarks.
Wow. It’s so clean 🧼
Bro the Benz look so mean and murdered out shesssssh 🥵
Question? How's does Evan deal with all rock chips? Just saw driving video and I'm blown away...must be hard to deal with
Looks killer 🤜🏻🤛🏻♠️♠️
Thoughts on that synthetic clay bar vs a real ball of clay
I used the ceramic 3n1 from griots 2 weeks ago. I was super impressed
Very nice 👌
You should get a hexagon detailing light
Impressive.
Not sure if you have already answered this question, what’s the base cost of the body kit without the huge wing/spoiler?
Griots is the best 🙌
Just finished applying Ceramic Coating to a new Volkswagen right this minute 1.30 am 😴 and now to watch you detail your beast ✌👌call me a freak but love the torture detailing brings 👍😎😫😊
Love your videos! Any reason you don't do an IPA wipedown between polish and the wax/sealant? I'd imagine some of the haze you see is excess polish engrained in the microscopic crevices.
Any last step protection requires a IPA wipedown prior. He just doesn't seem to know that. For proper detailing this isn't the channel to watch.

@@KiranPatel-fk1pg I still love Evan. Good dude. Family man. Much respect. Evan, if you see this you are an inspiration to us all.
Looks awesome! Only thing i'll mention is you use a lot of product when you dont need too. Otherwise great job.
when will the new product be available?
Great work 🤞🏾🤞🏾
All i can say is SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSH!
BRING BACK THE GUITAR INTROS!! 🔥
Man I love that car
Wish you could do mine looks insane

Love yo videos mann
ayo was here since STI days bro
CITY BOIIIIIIIIII
she giltterz🤩🤩🤩🤩
Need a how to on detailing from you
insane
Poor Jose making him feel bad
Did u scrub the wheels
How much would it cost to make the same exact car you have ? Or how much did yours cost, the car and the body kit and the rims etc
Can't you build a sound car to give away in one of your giveaways?
Its unfortunate Griots isnt available in The Netherlands..
Need that product list
#evanshanks you should build a Harley Davidson dyna lowrider or a Harley Davison’s Roadglide there amazing bikes I have both something new for the channel that you haven’t done I’m a detailer at a jet city Harley Davidson in renton Washington
gnarley :)
You plan on PPFing the entire car?
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
mark 3 supra is out of the garage?
Can you do my truck please on a video!?
Mate!! 😍 it looks wet.
I use almost all griots products in our shop.
"Very soft clearcoat" -aka very cheap and thin clearcoat. The fact that the fender was already that scratched and damaged is worrying lol
Tbh the paint job seems subpar I see fisheye everywhere especially on the hood
@@andyrodriguez1326 I agree
So there is still contaminants in the paint that Mercedes’ wouldn’t let pass?
Yooo
If you had to do this job for me as a customer how much would it cost ?
Literally nothing is lower priced than normal tho lol
Hello friends
6th
Ngl, everything looks so amazing... except the carbon fiber covered parts, look choppy, don't know if it's just me, might need to re-do those. Love the car anyways!
Second

Day 85 of commenting until Evan responds
Guys LORD Jesus is comming soon . Repent from sins , read Bible and God bless you

Why is this car not on air ride? Wouldn’t it help? Comment is made with no none history or research… sorry
