Great job Sandro. The owner was lucky to find such a pro.
I agree that this owner is lucky to have found Sandro. Going with percentage that Sandro looks for a 95% scratch free in the other way around in percentage only 5% or less of detailers can pull this off.
What you said about wanting to give this poor owner his true "new car paint experience" is so spot on, Sandro. It speaks to the pride and care you take in your work, and your understanding of and advocacy for your customers. Truly this customer is no "poor owner" anymore - now he is the PROUD owner of a beast looking like it should!
Said it before and I'll say it again, Sandro you have golden hands. Beautiful work.
What a great start for this year. We all survived 2020, Sandro uploads a new series with 30 minutes each episode, trashed black ZL1 paint restored with a very satisfying 95% defect removal standard, and a part 3 to be uploaded next week. These videos are very therapeutic, feels like I'm relaxing in a beach while sipping my drink. More clients and high end details to come this year, mate. You've finished 2020 strong. Hoping for more quality content this year. Happy new year, Sandro! Cheers from the PH 🇵🇭
Happy New Year!
Hopefully the client maintains the vehicle properly after all of that, Happy new year!
i would PPF the hole car
Happy New Year!
I didn’t think it possible for you to up your game after watching black Ford st the 2 Porsche Ferrari the 2 Audi the older Milton Bradley and all the rest of the correction series. But you are at another level. Thanks for all the videos and thank you for sharing all this knowledge. You have helped me tremendously. Thanks again.
I appreciate that mate, Happy New Year!
“I adjust my technique according to the product and pads tendencies” you’re a fucking God of paint correction bro. I just started my detailing business 3 weeks ago and let’s just say, you’re my only mentor for paint correcting!!!
It's definitely all about the pad and compound combination.. I've been in the detailing and crash repairs ( spray painter) industries for 31 years and you never stop learning.. Best of luck with your business !
This is literally what any professional detailer does dude, calm down
Amazing work as always. I love the fact you always go the extra mile to find the smallest improvement 🙌
Finishing well is indeed the real challenge ahead!
Love the process, and honesty in it as well.
I seriously just love the care and detail you use throughout your videos and detailing. I have learned a lot from your videos and helps me progress within my detailing business
I must say, I learned more watching you that I knew there was to know! Ha! You certainly are an artist.
Fantastic as always Sandro. The most underrated and under appreciated detailing channel on KZhead, thought I had detailing sussed until I found your channel. Your customer is exceptionally fortunate to have found such a pro as yourself.
Great content on this channel. Your calm and composed delivery makes the watching experience a pleasure. Slowly becoming my favorite detailing channel along with Apex detail
Another perfect job. I started detailing half a year ago. Your advice is very helpful for me. No one youtube can explain the polishing process like you, Sandro. Happy new year👌😀
Thanks for the video, it's amazing how you transform cars with bad paint to looking fantastic again. I can't wait for the final video to be uploaded so I can see the amazing work that you do. Thanks for your effort that goes into making these videos, it's car enthusiasts like myself that enjoy seeing this great content.
Your amazing for giving us all this information for free your a true teacher and master of your craft. Thank you for the motivation and experience I take from every single video of yours 👍🏽
Again you are producing pure magic! The fantastic work on the car and the video on top of that. Absolutely stunning.
Really shows how much of a car guy you are. It's because of watching so many of your videos, seeing your love of Lake County pads that I changed all of mine and I'm glad I did. I really appreciate all the information you dish out, as it is truly from a professional point of view.
Total professional - inspiring to watch.
You brought that car back to life!!! I can't imagine the frustration of detailing this beautiful car. Good job!
Epic job. Nothing wrong with being passionate about quality in the work you do and what you do it on. Honesty is the best policy
A true professional! Thanks for the great videos Sandro.
Wow so much to learn here. Edge work test panels and your work ethic is amazing and I look up to you and your craft. Thanks
Such words of wisdom Sandro. I bought the ShineMate 3/12 and 5/12 cordless polishers after your reviews. One as a kit, the other a skin. They have changed my ability to carry out paint correction. I’m no longer tripping over cords draping cords around my neck and in the three jobs I’ve had since the beginning of December, the ease and confidence with which I approached the work made the process fun again. The consequence was very happy clients who have all booked maintenance details in 8 weeks!!
That’s fantastic to hear, well done!
Ive watched many of your vlogs and i tell ya they feel therapeutic!! Lol. Your attn to detail is just next level. I once owned a 17' 50th anniversary camaro SS. I miss it daily. I enjoyed detailing it weekly. Your music and editing have improved greatly. Keep up the great work mate. 💪😎
Holy moly that was very hard going Sandro but effort paid off in the end 👍🏻
Superb video, looking forward to hearing the owner's reaction. Happy New year.
As a bloke who hand polishes his Suby, I can only stand back and admire the work you do....looks awesome.
Great Saturday! Sandro release part 2 of this video series . Can’t get any better than this
Amazing patience!
Amazing work on the car, high-quality videos, high quality detailing. !!
Excellent. Thank you mate. Hope the owner sends a link to this vid and the bill to the dealership. You watching GM? You watching GM dealership? Do you think your vehicles could look even 50% this good by the time they reach your customers?
Man, you are one of the best detailers in the world.
You’re doing an awesome job to a dream car of mine. I’ve learned a lot from watching pros like you.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
stunning result so far! i cannot wait to see the final result!
Happy New Year Sandro. As always Your level of perfection Has risen with the level of difficulty. Well done, mate
I really enjoy your detailing videos. Please keep them up. Keep Grinding Climbing And Shynin. B
When the going gets tough the tough gets going 😁.. immaculate work Sandro ..👍
As always, an amazing job!! Well done Sandro. Looks unreal to what it was.
Excellent work, Sandro.👍👍👍
Just the worst place to cheap out on a car. The way it looks is a huge selling point. Can’t imagine being newer to machine polishing like myself and having that many different combos to try. Love the HDO pads and was very impressed at how well the Blue Course pad finishes out. I hope no one asks me to do one of these until I have more time and products under my belt.
Lol thats how I felt. My arsenal at the moment: 3D one, 3D 501 and 502, extreme solutions 403, 404, trifecta, and finale. Sonax 04-06 Pads: lake county orange, black, white. Blue hdo, and euro fiber 50/50
Well done Sandro. I cannot stand people that rip others off and do a horrible job. Thanks for being honest and doing a proper good job of people’s 2nd most valuable asset.
Interesting and educational. Thanks Sandro.
This is awesome. I have a deposit down on a gently used ZL1 in this exact color. If it has issues I know I’ve got some great advice to get started!
I don't know anyone who would be so patient, thorough, and obsessive with a car (paint) such as this.... You are an examplar of a true professional Sandro! I tip my hat off to you sir! Now if only I can find a similar practitioner in WA....
It's been a while since i found your channel and i have to admit that i love it!Subscribed and following you!Keep up the good videos!
Awesome work performed here, well explained great content
I love your videos bro. I agree with you about the paint on these Chevy Camaros I have a brand new Chevy Camaro 2021 2SS just got it last week and I must say the swirl marks in the scratches are everywhere the car came from Michigan I live in Ohio so it had to be driven up here but the weather wasn’t terrible but it is winter right now so The drive from Michigan to Ohio is like 150 miles 200 miles there’s no way the squirrels and scratches happen during that drive so either the car was sitting out on the lot for the past four months or this is just some of the worst paint Chevy could’ve ever used. Like I said I enjoy all your videos thanks for all the knowledge in detailing you’re dropping on us👍🏼
Great work mate!
The most informative & unbiased detailing channel I have come across as of now. As some one commented below the owner is one lucky or wise guy to find a pro like Sandro. Best wishes to Sandro for a great detailing new year.
Happy New Year!
Such a pro ! Great video
now that is how a new car should be delivered killer job Sandro and another great video
I hope you got to drive this beast when you finished!
Mate you pretty much gave what the owner wanted a respray . Another car rescued by a great detailer and epic video as always .
If 2020 were a car paint, it would be this one. Happy new year! Looking forward to another year of amazing content.
Lol sad but true! Here’s to a better 2021!
Wow you are a true detailer
Looks like this paint was undercured when it went through the ovens in the factory
All Gm paint quality is sad :/ any color
Hi mate, it's about time to finally see someone using and explaining the usage of smaller machines and pads.IMO when doing a whole car the smaller pads are essential to get all the small areas. Most always demonstrate on a test panel or only show the easy bits like the bonnet etc.
Great professional results , and hopefully great new year for sure.
Happy New Year!
What we’ve been waiting for. I was watching the detail of the F430 and had to jump to this one
After what a pain this car will be moving forward I would just fork over the money for PPF and not worry about it
@@jdmkidk24 no way bro. He wouldn’t of took the job if he didn’t think he could make this Chevy Camaro look it’s absolute best.
@@buffseven oh I agree, idk if my wording got confusing my apologies. After he worked his magic I would have the car PPF so this car can look it’s best for a long time
Hey Sandro! I’m just getting off vacation and I’m a little behind on your 3 part series on the ZL1 detail. My friend, this was an amazing transformation considering the circumstances. Your skills are off the charts mate. I’m so glad that you were able to give the customer what he deserves in a brand new car. I can’t wait to watch the finale! Like right now 😎
Hope you had a great vacation and thanks mate I appreciate it!
Happy new year Sandro! Great video as always. All the best for the upcoming year from Germany mate.
Happy New Year!
Happy new year Sandro! Good work as always 👍
Happy New Year!
Ohh man.. I want one of those 15mm ShineMate cordless polishers soooo bad! Those machines are beautiful. 😍 I've run into this too. The worst was a black 2013 VW Passat TDI. Hard to cut, near impossible to finish. Even a new Eagle 500 gsm IP wipe would mar. Had to finish it by hand with a foam pad, Perfect Finish and McKee's N914 at 1:8 for a panel wipe, which has saved me many times. I work on a lot of VWs, still never encountered another one quite like that. Great video as always, thanks Sandro! 👍👌✌
Well done Sandro the patience that you showed when working out the best pad & polish combination for the Camaro is second to none. This Camaro by Chevrolet is imported from the USA and then converted to right-hand drive and remanufactured by HSV in Australia and sold via by HSV dealers. That provides 3 different groups of people (Chevrolet in USA, HSV - Australia and HSV Dealers) that the Camaro goes through before it is sold. So anyone of three could have caused the terrible paint finish. Looking forward to Part 3 of the series and the final result.
Wow that is some sensitive paint! Kudos for your patience mate. Hpaoy new year!
Happy New Year!
13:00 you can definitely see the difference in switching to your 12mm throw. Good job. Writing this just as your starting with the whites. Looking forward to it. ... Wow. Can’t believe that didn’t work nicely on the paint! I was expecting the shite combo to bring it up to glass!! Unreal.
You surely are a perfectionist
As someone that has several GM car owners. All of them... have looked like this. ONE was marginally better as he demanded we pulled the plastic off the moment it came off the truck. And that one still took longer than needed. The rest I could tell where slammed threw a brushed car wash and dried like garbage until sold. Which is also normal here in the States...
2016 black SS same exact problem.. paint is somewhat easy to correct but I can take a brand new towel give it a soft wipe and scratch it man. This thing has absolutely tested my patience never I have came across something as ridiculous as this paint
YES, recent GM black paint is definitely super soft!!!! The worst, but you are the BEST!!! Car looks AMAZING! On a side note, the combo of Rupes DA white pad and Uno Pure, on both soft black paint systems I've used it on, finished WORSE than Rupes DA yellow and DA fine polish. Glad I saw the same results as you.
happy new year, good job and im lovin the s2 as well
Happy New Year!
Mr. Sandro Happy New Year 2021 to you and your family! Love and respect from Puerto Rico 🤟👍🇵🇷
Happy New Year!
I am happy with Shinemate pads as it lasts long and finish quite decent.
Brilliant outcome sandro happy new year to you
Happy New Year!
Dont Sneeze on it! lmao! ;-) Awesome results! love the patience you showed to find the perfect combo to achieve the results you are chasing~!
The condition of this cars paint is absolutely commonplace for Chevrolet dealerships these days. They take absolutely zero precautions taking care of them. It’s even worse for showroom cars, as they constantly dry wipe them with whatever old rag they find and a quick detailer. Purchased 2 new Camaros and a Corvette the last 3 years and all looked like this.
Having worked at a new car dealership years ago the first thing I thought after seeing the decon and inspection video and this one was… showroom car. I worked in the detail and body shops and we would prep a car for the showroom only to walk through and see sales guys wiping dust off of them with red shop rags from the service department and even paper towels. 🤦♂️ This being a specialty model it probably sat in the showroom for some time prior to purchase. I saw showroom cars look this bad or worse with less than 10 miles on them.
Beautiful. Subscribed
Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber or more likely their Uro-Wool, I bet would have been a good combo. Before you said it my opinion is it was a Re-Spray as well. I would call Brian at Apex Detail and he will know for sure what type of paint this car has usually off the showroom. That’s if you want to take it that far in understanding what happened to it. I bet he will know if it was factory OEM or possibly was a Re-Spray or something else even. One last thing, you’ve forgot more about detailing than myself and probably even most other detailers. The area you reside in is lucky to have you as your professionalism and attention to detail is extremely admirable.
Happy new year.. all perfect👍👍
Happy New Year!
Can't believe how bad that was Sandro happy new year Brother
Happy New Year!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing keep up the great video content I love how your unit is set up and the input and explanation you put in it really helps and is very inspiring
I feel your pain, I own this car and washing it is a pain too. I hope to one day strip this paint off. Driving around is hard as well because it also chips very easy.
Wow such an amazing job! I can tell how frustrating and difficult that paint must be and i am sure it was much much worst but you did such an amazing job that you made it look like it was an easier paint. Not very many detailers would get that great of a result and if it were my car i would be pissed off with the manufacturer. I would probably do way too many coats of a ceramic (probably like 4 coats of CQuartz UK lol) just to make sure it doesnt give me a headache all the time
Outstanding Sandro! You’re dead on in your comments about the horrible cheap paint on that car. Seems as though ALL manufacturers are going as cheap as possible on the paint and especially on the clear coat! But the price continues to rise! In the end for them it’s all about quantity not quality!
That song was fire 🔥
Greetings to beautiful Australia! I‘m having the very same issue with a glossy Black 800HP 2013 Camaro Performance at the moment. Butter soft paint. Unbelievable!
Happy new year bro love you 😘
Happy New Year!
Great video, and the car looks money! Thanks for using my song at the end :) It's sent a few new listeners my way. I appreciate it!
My pleasure mate and it’s a fantastic track!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you!

100% agree with you on your good attitude towards the buyer/owner of this ZL1. Not anyway should they have to put up with mess on the finish of that car. Demonstrator or not, you are buying a brand new car and the experience of that should reflected that on the day they picked it up from dealership. Not that the value of a vehicle shouldn't have anything to do with the experience but a ZL1 is what I would call an high priced vehicle. Not what you would call a cheap and cheerfull run about anymore is it. One more thing to mention is, yeah I don't think I would buy a black vehicle anytime soon. I could not be bothered with the hassle.
Love it what a good job
I’m going thru this same situation currently with my recently purchased 2019 black ZL1 Camaro. I bought it used with only 3,750 miles and the paint looked as though it had been washed with sandpaper for years. This is my first attempt at paint correction so it’s quite the job for me!🤦♂️
Sandro. would be interesting too test paint thickness on another ZL1. one possible scenario is that GM had an issue in the paint process and painted it twice.
I dont know for sure but i think that the "break in period" for the pads is also present on the menzerna pads for like first 2 sections it shed some small particless🤷🏼♂️
That is truly a awesome job you did and it looks great. GM isnt the only car company taking short cuts and cheaping out. I have 16 Mustang GT and no matter how careful i wash it all my hard work disappears after a few wash's. Ford sprays all 3 coats, primer , base and clear while they are all wet and the clear is stupid soft.
Gm's black paint is super soft. Ordered one hand washed it hand applied a wax used new microfiber clothes and still got some small scratches.
This is so perfect :)
Sandro, I'm not surprised that a new car demo would look like that, but for them to hand over the car in such a condition is just disrespectful. Demos at my work are washed by an outside contracted company. All they do is rinse, wash with a stick washing mop, and rinse down quickly, they get paid per car and do not care what kind of wash job they do. The fact that dealership detailers do not care or have the skills and knowledge to produce a beautiful looking car to a customer regardless if it has 5km or 500km is also disrespectful. It's sad dealership detailers get such a bad rep but I am also not surprised why, however there are some of us out there that do our best to provide a perfect looking brand new car as it should be.
