12 Years Detailing - April's Activities

earlier on this morning i received a message from a gentleman called chris over on instagram chris is a follower of why details and chris messaged isn't today white details birthday april 6 2021 is today's date but april 6 2009 12 years ago white details was born today is white details 12th birthday chris thank you for reaching out i would have probably missed that fact if it wasn't for your message there are some loyal followers out there that's for sure and also thank you to you you've encouraged me and inspired me to want to pick up the camera the next few minutes will be a trip down memory lane some footage some still photos of the last four years and beyond which may be of interest and then we'll take a look around the singapore gray 760 bmw behind me this week's project as well as extend this into maybe a monthly episode to cover the entire month of april uh when that said hello good morning and welcome to white details [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] do [Music] it's back on bmw for now singapore gray 760 li which is a v12 v12 to celebrate 12 years of what details over 600 horsepower extremely cool car it's a bmw individual individual pack as seen on the plush leather here which means it's very special and very well specced come onto the interior later you would think a vehicle of this size would be pushing on your size and plushness on the interior especially four wheel drive big old v12 lump you'd think it'd be pushing on three tons three tons in weight thanks to bmw's carbon core the tub the central chassis the main frame of the car is carbon fiber which reduces the weight quite considerably and it's just over two tonne which with that power power to weight for a vehicle this size it can surprise a fair few cars out there and take the limiter off top speed 215 miles an hour so at this point 6 p.m during the end of day one of the polishing you may be thinking the wheels are still on the car and the car is still grounded a i discovered this in the tire wall this morning on the front near side there's a bullet in the pilot sport nice bulge but actually that's pretty shocking and pretty scary the car drove up from surrey but also this is a limousine almost so the jacking points there and back there are extremely wide on these vehicles normally i do have an extension bridge platform wooden plank to extend beyond the ramps ability which is fine but even that is too short for the bmw so first thing in the morning of course i don't want to spend the next four days on my hands and knees polishing this it needs to be a thorough and efficient job with the car in the air so tomorrow i am off to the timber merchants around the corner to get an eight foot five by three plank tbr to get the car airborne two birds get the car the wheels outside to then crack on the polishing stages [Music] that should do the job [Music] [Music] [Music] well that's the result i forget what this material or colour on the beam is called but it's weird very peculiar and it smells as well when you start rubbing at it it smells almost like a rubber or something it's very peculiar uh but previously pitted and dirty and pretty stubborn magical product of the day it's now lost about five quid to it from the floor kamikaze collections silica scale remover once you use it on the materials on the surface it does leave it a little bit exposed and streaky and stained still so i'm just backtracking so that's really really stubborn you wouldn't thought that would come any more you see the 50 50 i think so so yeah once i've done half of this i will go over it with an ipa and then finally another panel wipe just to take all the residues away from the surface and we should coat a regulator with modesto's pco4 as part of the paint protection package [Music] cutting complete oh seven series before we go on to refining i haven't talked about this on the vlog for a little while it's been a while since i've done an engine bay detail uh engine bay detail dressing now going down that's done at this stage and then cleaned up from the surrounding areas before we go into refining if we did this after refining there's a good chance you're going to get those great spillage potential marring on the surrounding adjacent panels limb vinyl rubber care it's a watery dressing and it will blow the vehicle blower into the cracks and the crevices so it's a nice thorough efficient application [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's modesto's primer down on the entire vehicle um that's gonna prep the base now ready for the tiltings later on but one thing left to do with the machine polishes before they go away are the b pillars i haven't done these yet to be in the small c pillar on this side yes there are a couple of scratches abrasions swelling but there's also micro marring here ticks d a induced damage from a machine polisher from a previous polishing session so these need clearing out clearing up tiny little one inch section here as well and then on the offside this side suffers from water spots somewhat so that will be picked up refined and sharp much like the bodywork [Music] [Applause] [Applause] i've done two cuts with cartet's 3000 diamond cut and a microfiber clip pad so now i'm going to hit it with the yellow pad and cut it's 9000 then a white pad or a black pad posh chemi m201 [Music] that'll pass from minor correction there's a deep stretch there that ran all the way across in a bad place that and my correction still cleared up nicely that's after two cuts we've caught it three thousand on a microfiber i was going to go yellow as you can see with 9000 didn't think i needed it so i went straight to white pad with m201 which is kosh jimmy this stuff's magic on black uh black pillars so i can throw some primer on them now and they'll be ready for coating [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] the final day on the seven series and that is modesto's bc04 applied infrared curing process now baking the coating onto all the painted surfaces as well as the wheels received the same treatments yesterday and the calipers still at the glass some bits to do on inside give it a final wipe down get the wheels back off tyre's rest and she's done the exhausts have been polished and coated already they came up well and then wait to receive next week's cars which are an audi s3 and another bmw m5 competition two new car preps [Music] so [Music] [Music] whilst finishing off the curing on the bm netsuites new car prep is here tanya red audi s3 as you can see protective film left in place in certain areas the bonnet this is weird it's a material very peculiar the owner has piggled some bits off already as you can see here the dirty tired line now this is the car this is a car that hasn't been touched by the dealership so it was picked up yesterday from the supply and audi dealer picked up dirty drove home drove here it's now time to inspect the paint so it should come as no surprise that of course we do find marring and stretches one thing's for sure is it hasn't been washed nice horizontal aberration here lots of modern abrasions in the bumper and the offside front corner to me it looks like something's been wiped over this wing there are marks that go all the way across particularly bad around the driver's handle using the paint to close the door whatever else the paintwork that's underneath the film where the film was looks kind of okay so as you can see the car hasn't been touched or washed at this end but somewhere down the line it certainly has that's for sure but the new car prep boasts the full safe wash and decontamination and as soon as they polish how aggressive that single stage polish needs to be it's determined on what defects are present need to come out and i always say that even if there were no defects no swirls abrasions or light scratches to tackle a single stage polish on brand new paint still makes a massive difference anyway in the richness the clarity and boss so hopefully all the damage can be taken out with a single pass checking the mileage 60 miles nice touch the alcantara as opposed to the leather it's a whole new funky quite cyber cyberistic why not dashboard [Music] all right good morning monday audi s3 washed decontaminated blown dry and taped up ready for some polishing now however seven series is hit force seven series is here still i'm picking the gentleman up from the train station covered friendly mass social distance they'll be in the back uh from the train station in about an hour and a half's time i've still got to film the after footage of this which you're about to see and i need to wipe it down with modesto's m1 shot which is a final wipe over for the surface and there is a lovely m5 competition another new car prep so this week is the s3 new car prep and then a doddington gray m5 competition new car prep with modesto's bco4 so really if you can call this i like it a lot it's almost like olivier bronze champagne hue tint to the paint gloss black wheels gloss black mirrors pillars carbon fiber roof section and interior wise it's all quite lovely still got the film protective film how about that on the seat belts as well we'll come on to that later all right the central stage polish has started on the audi up high on the roof single stage all good or responding well however on the roof line that runs across the top on the near side um in the earlier footage we did see some light buffer trailing and abrasions where something's been rubbed back now my combination as you can see hasn't been enough to take that out so i'm gonna get the microfiber cut pad on the nano to tackle that with some cutting compound and then finish it off to get it off to match the rest a nice little localized correction with the hybrid before we buff it off just get rid of the surrounding dusting so that you're not contaminating your towel when you come to buff although this hasn't yet been uh ipad panel wipes you can see how hazy it is now for my and compared to here this is almost a flat red so the camera is triple into focus sharp not so sharp sharp sharp not so sharp sharp quick ipa just a double double check and then refine that area before moving on and then it will soon be time to jump in the car let's go 57 series customer so it's going to be that combination over the entire car any localized defect correction that need to do it will be buzzed over and included take out the deeper defects and then otherwise it's a yellow polishing powder context 9000 single polish [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the nasa front wing on the audi another example of mars haven't come out with the single stage polish this is a bit of a a swipe mod as seen in the earlier footage this has received the signal stage but i'm i'm about at my maximum what i want to do for a single stage i can't do any more than this combination without having to do a refining set so again this area needs cutting and then there are some marks here as well otherwise it's looking very glossy again camera swivel into focus tango red it's not too far off what what audi used to have with mizano red mizano had quite an orange amount of metallic you could easily glance at it and think it was a flat a solid red it's very very mild two minutes later that is both areas cut and re-refined the center stage polish and whoops the center stage polish and the multiple corrections there's perhaps been 10 11 sections of corrections required on this car now have been completed and now using the black finishing pads uh we've got the modesto's p01a primer this is the final step before the coatings go down but three hours are needed now before the coating can be applied so that's going to be a job for tomorrow this is quarter past one it's time for a sandwich and then we can start this on thursday [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] we've got a small modesto order come through some maintenance products for customers to take away m2 blast m4 smoke more primer pco8 bco4 leather protection epc which is the trim but for the s3 now pco4 and then let's get the tyres dressed do the final glass cure the paint wipe the paint job done [Music] so [Music] shove up [Music] a bit of a funny old day today to be honest um delays with having a delivery dropped off which is my fault for not having enough stocking ready to get the audi coated the bmw in that time of being delayed waiting for the delivery i've made a start on interior leather protection part one part two to follow has been applied i've now got another three hours here clearing the audi for this evening ready for pickup tomorrow and i don't know where this episode is going to be honest started with like a a monthly episode idea in mind still got a whole bmw m5 competition to do still got mercedes minor pain correction to do and it's not even halfway through the month so uh gonna end up wrapping it up pretty soon so they're probably showing me a great deal of footage or progress footage of the m5 but we'll certainly get some aftershocks and the good news is the barbers are now open so i can try and get booked in somewhere for a haircut however my hairdresser has moved on she has wonderful scissors unfortunately because it has been of course a turbulent year especially for the industry so i'm yet to find a new barber to tackle this law very nice [Music] well that's the only gun one happy chappie or a happy customer they must have bought um support for cars over the years new car preps previous car was a flat red tornado red golf r so they've upgraded to the s3 so that leaves the bmw washed decontaminated blown dry not to do the wheels now let's take them off but before we go up on the ramp this is another vehicle where the wheelbase is beyond my ramps natural extension so we've got to use a wooden platform once again this is the third m5 competition that's been in for a new club prep in the last six five six weeks before we do go up on the ramp and get it up in the air for the wheels to do outside to be washed i think what i'm actually gonna do is just do the roof the polishing side on the roof before it goes up because when it's on the minimum height of the ramp it's still quite high up and the roof is hard to reach so mask up get the carbon fiber roof done send up wheels off outside bit of easy eighties today what we got [Music] the paint works pretty good and also i realize i think perhaps maybe probably at this point all the time i mentioned the color of this m5 donning doomgray i've been saying doddington grey donington is in diamond park the racetrack bmws love the racetrack colours hockenheim silver silverstone blue bronze hatch gray donington grey [Music] lovely [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so so here we go [Music] so [Music] bbc news at 4 o'clock this is james white details will be complete when i'm sticking my feet on the boot of a saloon [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] good morning and good afternoon five to one saturday bco4 clearing process for the m5 uh to my right there is a mercedes e-class camber lane's been dropped off for next week i've had a playlist on spotify this morning called floating in space it's very zen it's very relaxing everything's smooth everything's oh it's been a nice morning so once the paintwork has been cured infrared lamps the wheels will be cured as well as the calipers then it's just the final glass and the final wipe down finished done complete mercedes [Music] it's here for a minor paint correction four days with convertible hood treatments it's just a bit green on the edges the bright work suffering from tarnishing and dirt stubborn although of course the paintwork is silver it's gonna benefit very much from the minor correction after the full decontamination defects more noticeable of the light clusters the dharmacot wheels are suffering from corrosion so all four are being taken to my contacts pb powder coatings for refinishing refurbishing and then it's having the exterior paint coatings and some interior treatments to boot as well there won't be a great deal of footage for the merc because i'm conscious of how much footage i have at this point already in this random very random episode but what i must do is after the m5 after footage is just film the owner's reaction for the mercedes because the car the lady who dropped it off this morning it's her late husband's pride and joy so there's a massive sentimental value to the vehicle and i do think it'll be a very nice turnaround and quite an emotional pickup calm a week today it's one thing lining the center gap it's a little m badge up to the valve center valve that's one thing making sure that's all aligned but who else likes to get the locking wheel nut in exactly the same place on all of the four wheels i can guarantee that's not just me this process takes a long long time still at the rest of the front bumper and the roof to do you need to get the surface temperature to 50 to 60 degrees celsius for a good period of time a couple of weeks later the good news is i've managed to get a haircut finally been a funny episode doesn't it really but i wanted to just pick up the camera as one when throughout the four months worth of work the seven series the s3 m5 and finally the mercedes before the after footage runs uh i just wanted to say thank you for watching if you've made it through this far thank you to the white eater patrons find white details over on instagram for daily behind the scenes and updates and also to those that have bought me a coffee over the last couple of months it's very much

good i couldn't get any [Music] [Music] overwhelmed it's not here it's not like i get lost towards me i i don't know what to say i can't honestly [Applause] you know what no no you're a great man
