Nothing better than seeing an OCD detailing enthusiast/professional detailer do work on their own new daily driver. I think that's when most of us truly unleash and go absolutely ALL out because it's yours to drive and enjoy every day. And that's not taking anything away from how good your work is on your customers' cars, it's just that we always go that extra mile for own cars, IMHO.

As someone who works in this industry. I would just like to say that your work and attitude towards detailing is on a whole different level. Amazing to see. Congratulations on the new car.

Time to hire someone to Video and Edit your work. No reason you shouldn't have 1/4 million subs. You just need to be able to post more content. It would be worth it to try for a few months and see if you can start getting out a video every week or two.

I completely agree with you on the paint correction stage. There’s absolutely nothing more relaxing as a detailer than having your earbuds in and polishing the paint to that 98-99% look. Also, I speak for everyone when I say we need more content from you. Congrats on the car!

Your enthusiasm and how you communicate honestly about how you feel about everything you do is why I come to this channel. Alsof the fact you are so meticulous, Just love it!❤ keep up this amazing channel and community!

Nothing's better than taking your time detailing your own cool car. For me, it is so satisfying to see each panel getting cleaner and corrected as you go through the car part by part. When everything is done, I would sometimes go in my garage to admire the results and my car lol. Congrats !

As a fellow detailer and Audi fan, that Iscari blue RS5 sportback is truly awesome!! I have an S4 with many mods. My wife has a new Q3 in Tango red.

Great to see you're back Evan, I love your content! I think you're too hard on yourself, just slow the pace down and enjoy the process

Thank you for sharing your unique knowledges. Although I've been a detailer for quite a while and have mentored some of the successful detailing shops in my country, your skills and commitment in your business always humble me. And please, do not neglect your health. cheers!

You could have spread this out to a twenty to thirty part video series, and I'm willing to bet almost all of your subscribers including myself would happily watch and enjoy every single minute of it.

Great to see new content, I really enjoy your work. I find the videos very relaxing and informative, the interior looked amazing after.

New to your channel, this is brilliant demonstration of detailing, I love your passion and drive , I will subscribe and look forward to future projects 🇬🇧.

Those wheels are BEAUTIFUL and they compliment the car very well! Best of luck with it. It’s apparent how passionate you are about your work but you have to remember to take care of yourself. As much as I love my career, sometimes I need to take a step back and reset. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Dude. This is an unreal level of detailing I've never experienced in my life. Phenomenal job. I'm glad you are this passionate about what you do

The way you describe how you feel while paint correcting is a good description of what it means to truly master something. Most people never achieve anything like this because they don't have commitment to anything. Its your calling ❤️ And you're the best there is 🙌🏼🙏🏼

Evan I love your videos. Watching them is a zen like experience for us. Detailing is a hobby for me now but those that know me well understand how that obsession for perfection can take over. I had wondered why the releases of the videos slowed to a drip but this makes perfect sense. Happy to see the success for you. Burn out is real, you and your loved ones are more important than constant video releases. Can't wait to see the next releases when time permits.

Glad to see your back. Had a rough day today in this video helped me unwind. I remember when you got this car a few months back, I think it’s super cool to see your process on what you exactly did to it. By the way those wheels are sick.

This makes me SOOO happy inside! Nothing like spending time with your OWN car! Great color too! Im looking at a 2023-2024 S4 in the army greenish color, so you just made my excitement even higher haha! can't wait for your other vids too!!!

I just found and subscribed to your channel. I just appreciate your honesty on application of ceramic coatings (ie Gyeon Syncro). I am NO professional, not by any stretch of the imagination, yet I “go to my happy” place when detailing my vehicles. There is just something about the smell of all the chemicals, polishing, waxing, pressure washing and the end results. Great video!

Congratulations on the new Audi! Sorry about the burnout. I know the feeling. My videos have been slow to come out lately for the same reason. When you're ready for mods, I know a good channel to reference. 😂 take care!

I rarely comment on videos but this was one of the most detailed and thorough examples of somebody who's absolutely mastered their craft on display for UKposts viewers to experience. Incredible man you are a legendary detailer man. Super eager to learn and watch the content that comes from your journey. Absolutely love the rs5 as well. Super Super well done man, you have got to get an editor or some form of a video production team so all you have to worry about is the work. Amazing job man.

Hey Evan, love the channel n everything you do for the community keep it up man 🤙🏽 also please bring the RS5 back on the channel and give us an update, it’s a beauty 😍

very very underrated channel, excellent quality all around and super informative

This guys passion for his own car is incredible. The attention to detail is amazing. I’m hoping to get myself an Audi S5 at some point this year and this video is getting me excited to detail it and make it my own!

As a member of the VAG family. I love this car! Congrats. Huge fan of your channel and even more of your work! I'd love to be on the same level as you some day. Although now I'm doing bodywork instead of detailing

Man I have to say how refreshing it is to see a car not all blacked out.... The chrome looks so classy and beautiful!!! Lovely car

Your work ethic is staggering as is your eye for detail, complete perfection. I love it . 👍

I’ve got a 2020 Maserati Levante and take care of it thx for your expertise and lessons

Congrats on the purchase! I’ve owned an RS3 for the last 3 years, and the RS5 sport back is my natural upgrade. Keep up the great content.

Love this. So much work and i understand it how you tell it. Brand new its amazing thanks for this video.

I think the attention to detail u do is awsome, i love detailing i can spend hours on a car to get it right or even days but my skills aren't as good as yours but would love to reach that level.

when I'm polishing, I disappear into another dimension where every scratch and swirl comes out with one compound and my polisher is completely silent 😅😅 I love your car. looks so good

Just subscribed to the channel, love the content and attention to detail. Best of luck!

I really appreciated the video. I almost pulled the trigger on an Ascari but went with a Navarra Blue Metallic. Same as you purchased unseen out of state. Its on its way, i wont see it for 2 weeks, anxiety is building and I plan to go through the car like you did.

Just picked up an Ascari Launch Edition Sport back! Ive been unknowingly admiring pictures of your car on google images haha, Absolutely gorgeous!

I have an Ascari RS7 and would love this type of job done on it by somebody like you. Fabulous attention to detail. Are there going to be any follow ups. I would love to see it finished out in the sunlight.

Hey Very nice detail and video, you really can do a fantastic job. 👌😁 Are you using mild or strong leather cleaner? And what company is the leather oli from 😊

Absolutely outstanding job above and beyond detail 👍. Looks like your business doing really well happy for you look forward to more vids. Get some rest😄

There's nothing worse than having the joy taken out of your passion - and most of us only know what that means when we experience burn-out. Congratulations for having the insight and support system to identify being close to the edge and for taking the steps to look after your well-being. That car is off-the-charts cool and it would be a shame if you couldn't enjoy it. Be well.

Great self knowledge and learning lesson!!!!!!! Amazing work! Subscribed!

Your enthusiasm and attention to detail is amazing and credit to you. 💙👍🏻

I just finished an 18 month project along the same lines. After work, weekends, I couldn't even guess at the number of hours but know it's well over 1000. What started with a valve cover gasket replacement led to the complete rebuild of the top end of the motor. Almost blueprinted. Everything OEM: Seals, gaskets, any rubber vacuum line replaced with silicone, new plugs, cable management, etc. New alternator, PS pump, radiator, water pump, all belts, rebuilt throttle body, and on and and on. Once the motor was done, I went to close the hood and noticed some leaves in the recess where the hood arms go. Turns out the windshield drains down the inside of the fender and that was basically full of mulch. That led me on a rust-prevention campaign, which eventually got me into the interior when I found the sunroof tray was leaking because the drain tubes were petrified with a kink in them, so completely blocked. Once on the interior I went about fixing all the things I knew needed fixing. All bulbs went to LED, sunroof drive belt replaced (and the drain tubes), new speakers, new wiring, added a Zapco small Class D monoblock just in case I wanted to run a sub later down the road. Even added a backup camera. I took the interior down to the paint. Seats out, disassembled, skins shampooed, etc. All plastic moldings taken out, scrubbed, cleaned. All carpet up, all butyl removed. Even took the dash out. Twice (FML). Dynamat the whole thing and rebuild. So the kicker is... this was all done on a 1990 4runner with 260k miles. The motor was actually a warranty replacement due to a manufacturing issue where the oil ports were too small and it starved the block with not enough circulation. A few of them just got leftover crate motors instead of a rebuild. So... a 260k 4runner with 80k on the motor. I'm the second owner. But I bought it off a high school friend of my parents. I was on the camping trip back in summer when he showed up with it for the first time and I remember thinking how cool it was. I think that, gaining mechanical experience with the vehicle, and a reason to not sit in front of the computer working all day played equal parts in the inspiration to keep at it. I don't regret the time spent, I'd do things a bit differently a second time. But if anyone asked me 'How much?' for a job like that, I would just laugh and sigh.

Beautify car! Any discolouration concerns when using Gyeon Prep on interior surfaces, especially the fabric ones?

I do weekend detailing. I tell friends and co workers that it's mediating to me. Much like watching others clean and detail cars 😅. Great work.

Unbelievable that you respond to so many of the comments, really shows you appreciation to your followers. Keep up the content, I’m looking to work out send my 2024 C8 Z06 to you once I get it in April.

Went from an RS5 to a GT500 last spring, you're gonna love the car! Too many days I miss it, especially in Michigan winters

Such impressive work! That leather treatment is something I want to do....I already have all the Gyeon products including the brush, so I'm 95% ready. I guess you're going to be first in line for the Gyeon Purify products!

Love the clam shell hood. Same as my A4. Hides the hood seam so well.

enjoyed this video! Curious what the foam hand/palm sander was that you were using manually to wet sand right at the start of the wet-sanding section? The black one, looked like it was around 3"?

Awesome video, I wanted to ask what brush do you use to clean the leather please?

I've never seen any of your videos. You just got a new subscriber. Awesome watching you. Now to go back and watch your other videos

Hello nice work in the video. My question to you would be which extractor nozlle did you buy? you mentioned Amazon? Thank you

Man I wish I could autopilot behind a polisher but normally I’m a nervous wreck 😂 The way you describe it reminds me of that Zen and the Art of Archery book big time. I would say I get zen-mode doing interiors. Throw a headlamp on and next time I look at my watch it’s 1:30am but fully energized. Moments like that is why I chase this stuff. That RS5 is sick, excellent choice 💪

Awesome video my friend. My son Zach at leisure hours hobbies told me about you. You do awesome detailing and ppf. I hope to meet you in person some day.

I started using leatherique 6 years ago and has been my go to for clients who want a true refresh.

Yes. Those wheels are amazing!

You are an Artist.. That Wheel turned out great! I swear by Leatherique, nothing is as effective.. Worth every penny.

Hey from England! Im new to your channel and so glad Ive found you, this video is awesome. My wife thinks Im OCD, but you take it to another level! Can I echo some of the other comments and suggest that you get someone to video and edit your work so we can have some more content? Thanks for being honest, I like that!

To replace the piano black, try looking for an S5 center console trim. It's a nice textured dark grey plastic that's zero maintenance to keep clean.

Love your work! Is there a part two coming?

Nice car. I just ordered a SQ8 in ASCARI blue! Great to see it in person. I had a McLaren 650s with a alcantera steering wheel. Never ever again. They are horrible. Within 12k miles it gets worn, matted down. I made sure that my Audi has their nice leather golf ball wheel

So after the leather cleaner on the seats, is there a conditioner you put on or coating?

under rated channel. that zen mode is called flow state. burnout sucks but leads you to realize the importance of hobby/work-life balance.. cool channel man +1 Sub

Looking for options & opinions for keeping a interior clean plus protected that is used to shuttle people back and forth to the beach so has legs covered in sunblock on them?

Congrats on the RS5!🎉 It's looking awesome. Love the wheels too.

Excellent video and congrats on the car man!

amazing work sir!!!!

My Navarro blue RS5 needs your skill applied to it. Especially after the last wash I did swirled my paint so bad 😢 needs correction and protection asap!

Looks amazing. Also have Napa leather in my RS3. My dog slobbered all over and it definitely affected the leather. Leaning towards cquartz leather 2.0 self install. Any reason you didn’t coat yours after all that work?

Just commenting for you getting better interactions on this video. Nice work dude! Greets from Germany

YES!! I love paint correction....but I hate meeting time frames lol which I know is all part of the business. But when im able to take my time, I love it just like your saying. it is was I specialize in as well, im trying slowly trying to ONLY do that and ceramic coatings, but for the time being gotta do it all some what.

Super calm Sat morning drinking coffee and watching you make a car look better than new. Im subbing :)

I have one of the 25 coupe Ascari launch edition cars. Only 5800 miles on mine. Great car

Always such great work! Be sure to take some breaks!

Finally! Such a nice car. Enjoyed seeing it.

Which carpet extractor do u have ? Looks as though it does the job quick… disregard previous question, saw the brand later on in the vid. Shall be here today via Amazon.

Hi, very nice car, and wheels are just awesome. Can you give me the link you buy them? Or it's completely custom design?

Would you recommend the leather q step if the car is brand new?

I drove this exact car at Fort Washington's sister Mercedes store! I'm more of an M car buyer, but when I 1st saw it on the lot, it was very captivating! Very unique vehicle. I was swayed somewhat!

I try to keep my car as clean and as factory matte as possible by wearing driving gloves, having microfiber for everything and I even PPF buttons/switches and levers I touch the most. What do you recommend to protect the seat bolsters from cracking? I trued every method getting in and out but I am seeing creases form.

Awesome video and car, my RS3 will be here in June!!! Don't put in the activated charcoal filters. Too restricive for the vac blower, cuts down the volume of air, it's like putting a quilt in-between the fan and the plenum. Use the factory cabin filter.

I just subscribed your channel Evan. To show my support on your channel. I have A5 S Line Quattro 2.0 Sportback. Congrats on your RS5 Sportback. Looks sweet and stunning.

I recently bought a 2019 audi S5. I'm based out of Toronto. Any recommendations for detail shops? Looking for someone whose as knowledgeable as you.

Dude! Prob my favorite video that you’ve done so far. Enjoyed it.

Great to see you back on here don't forget to take time out and recharge your batteries 👍

Never heard of or considered the use of laundry detergent in the extractor but I want to try it now

Hi buddy how to avoid wearing of that little signs of volume up anr down etc on steering music controls ?

Looooove this video! Quick question - which yellow microfiber towels are using? Keep up the awesome work and big love from Australia 🇦🇺

22:25 as an audi tech, the a5 series cars have the worst cabin filter placement. like almost all the others are the exact same but for some reason its recessed in the a5s and way more annoying. dont know why the did that on these. also a tip, assuming you have cpo coverage. right before the end of cpo bring it in to a dealership and say you had a coolant low warning. these V6s have a common issue where the water pump fails and leaks internally and coolant spreads through all the vacuum lines. its a 6-7k repair if out of warranty. beatiful car nonetheless.

Amazing attention to detail

Yo Evan could I just use Gyeon prep on my fabric seats for a maintenance clean? How long does the smell last for? I also love the smell of it 👌

I miss going though this process on my dream toy. It’s so satisfying when it’s yours. The zen you’re talking about is called Flow State. When you’re proficient and passionate about a skill, you enter that flow state when you’re performing it.

After watching your complete detail if you where in Australia 🇦🇺 I would definitely use your services on my Porsche great workmanship if only other people in your industry had you commitment.

What's your recommendation for blue jean dye transfer removal? that's been my kryptonite lately :)

Great vid. Congrats on that car!

Super cool video!! Love the RS5! Sad to hear about the burnout:( really excited for the Ferraris

@STATUS DETAIL Greatest detail,may I know if it's ok for you to review our foam cannon S V3.0?Thanks in advance!😊

What does the oil based leather cleaner do to the stitching on the seats? I'd be worried about discoloration.

I bought a 2020 Audi S4 which has 99% the same interior as yours, with 20k miles, and would like to do about the same as you did in the interior. I have Gyeon interior detailer right now. Can I use this instead of prep? I was thinking of doing gyeon leather cleaner with their brush followed by Meguiars leather conditionner (because I already have it), finishing the rest with interior detailer. I'll try to rent a mat extractor to clean up the carpet. Did you find an alternative to that piano black center console part? Thanks for awesome video!

I've been searching for a nice set of wheels for my M4 F82, but I can't find one which would fit the need nicely. I tried to find other persons who have already bought those wheels but the colour of the car wasn't the same as mine so I couldn't imagine how they would fit my car. How did you choose these wheels?
