This Might Be the Citizen Kane of Detailing Videos
This Might Be the Citizen Kane of Detailing Videos-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:57

Two men in a garage stand behind a BMW Alpina B7 with extremely glossy paint.

I hate detailing my cars. I don’t know why, either. I love looking at my cars; I love driving them too. I even don’t mind wrenching on them, but something about having to drag out the pressure washer and all the supplies – foam gun, wash mitts, buckets, soap, wheel cleaner, etc. – makes me cringe.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t , and may have just released the Citizen Kane of detailing videos. It clocks in at just over an hour and features , which is back from getting a fancy new paint job in Poland.

So, if the car has brand-spanking-new paint, and it’s a good paint job (which this certainly seems to be), then why does it need almost 40 hours of paint correction by the folks from Gyeon Quartz? Why, to achieve near-perfection, of course.

This video is notable for a few reasons. One is the speed and precision with which Yves, the detailer from Gyeon, works. What he can do with a rotary polisher in just a few seconds almost beggars belief. Yes, I said . Despite having way more inherent risk of damaging the vehicle’s paint, using a rotary polisher (aka one that only spins in a circle and which doesn’t move in a random orbit) has a few real advantages, which are covered in the video.

Also great are the car washing tips that Yves dispenses, many of which fly in the face of what I’ve been told my whole life, like starting from the bottom of the car and working up, so you can see where you’ve washed and where you haven’t.

Like most of Sretan’s videos, this one is long, but it’s definitely worth your time, and the results that the Gyeon team is able to achieve on this brand new Azurite Black Metallic paint border on unreal.

Don’t ever tell me that Rolls-Royce isn’t paying fierce attention to the entire scope of humanity and carefully selecting the absolute finest bits, like an ornithologist extracting the finest rat ribs from an owl pellet. If you even suggest such a thing, I’ll have my valet slap you with...

Land Rover Defender Adds A V8, But You'll Lose The Good Colors For The Privilege
Love or hate its polarizing neo-retro looks, the new is off to a very promising start. It may lack the “character” of its predecessor — and by that I mean all the strange cabin smells and bone-shattering judders — but it does pretty much everything well, on and off...

Blip: Eye Of The Gull
I actually don’t have a goofy joke for today’s picture; I just really liked it, as a piece of commercial art. It has a sort of David Hockney pool painting feel, and the overhead view is unusual for a late ‘50s automotive ad. It’s beautifully rendered, the composition is...
