A UA-cam viewer contacted me many months ago asking if I was able to detail his SQ5 for him. Now that the weather is cooperating, I was able to complete a comprehensive 10+ hour detail on his exterior and interior. This video represents the various steps in the process that returned this Panther Black SQ5 to its natural, ferocious self. Let me know if you have any questions by dropping a comment below.

I am the proud owner of this vehicle and must say RAD Garage surpassed any expectations I had when I picked it up this morning - I don't think it was even this clean when I bought it. Rick, you are a true talent and your meticulous attention to detail is unparalleled; you even polished my damn licence plate frame for Pete's sake!!! Thanks so much, I am truly at a loss for words but will end by saying you are an example of what happens when a person meshes what he loves doing with what he's truly good at. The vehicle looks remarkable and the video is obviously top-notch. Now I am afraid to drive it anywhere.
Danny Sultanov Too kind buddy. Way too kind. Can't wait to get your other sweet ride in the garage for some pampering!
RAD Garage cant wait for that vid!!🤙🏽
This Video is more than 2 years old, how did I not watch it till now?
You've been slackin'! I thought this was a great project, but it didn't get much attention. It was back in the day when I didn't have a lot of subs so it just fizzled out. I'm glad to see you going back to some of the more "classic" vids.
@@RADGarageThanks Rick now I feel bad😆 Im very sure that I subbed to you way earlier than 2018, it must have not been in my feed or something.
Better late than never they say!
@@RADGarage Now I just checked how long i´ve been subscribed to your channel. UA-cam says since 08. October 2015
@@kai_291 That doesn't surprise me. When I think back to the original subscribers, your name stands out. Let's see how far we can get this channel!
tough color....well done Rick...looks awesome
That project seems so long ago. I remember very little of it to be honest. That's the great thing about these videos since they allow me to relive it all! Thanks for taking time to comment. That Panther Black is a very dynamic colour.
Perfect mini therapy session for me this afternoon! I'm enjoying going back to your older stuff.
I wouldn't be where I'm at now without those previous projects!
@@RADGarage yeah, you wouldn't have me as a viewer and the reason for you to keep going.
I received in my inbox notification of this new video last evening. I purposely left watching this film till this morning. I wanted to sit down, eat my breakfast and just enjoy watching the show as I ate. Rick, once again, you do not disappoint. You are without any doubt a "car craftsman" and an "automotive artist" to the ninth degree. Such an enjoyable and calming eleven minutes. Well done and congratulations to the lucky UA-camr who is the benefactor of Rick's talents...you are a very lucky car enthusiast. (Mike in Ohio)
It's just the magic of the camera. I am as regular as the next guy. I am willing to put in the time, but there is nothing I do that any person can't do. I always appreciate hearing your thoughts on my work, Mike. Your support does energize me to tackle new projects, so please keep it up!
Всегда с нетерпением жду Ваши работы и видео! Превосходная работа!
Thanks!
Awesome Rick!
Craig Penrose Thanks Craig.
Another EXCELLENT video. Learning a lot from them. Please keep them coming.
Incredible attention to detail.
\\/\// Thanks. I really like the challenge of addressing every little detail.
Looks great. But that garage is next level. Love it.
Stunning.....
Thanks. This was one of my first really satisfying video projects.
🤩 great job.
Thanks. I love that this older video still gets some views! It was one of my first real quality videos.
Hello. How can you remove the scratches on the doors steps? Thanks buddy
Those can be tricky since manufacturers don't apply much clear coat in those areas. I will do a mild paint polish there and take the results I get.
great job, I too have a black sq5 and dam it hard keeping her clean
Sean Mcgrath My thoughts are with you. It must be tough.
Wow, absoutle fantastic. Another awesome vid!! x
A joy to watch 👌
OUTSTANDING!!!🤙🏽
Hi Rick. Amazing work! Also glad to see that winter is over there. BTW my SQ5 finally turned up last weekend. I’ll upload a video of my first detail this weekend.
I bet you are loving it. I will look forward to seeing your first detail video. I'll subscribe to your channel right now so I don't miss the notification! Congrats!
Rick, it’s a fantastic car, I’m so pleased with it. Stay tuned.
Beautiful job my friend!
Duuude... you even polished the license plate bracket... that is awesome attention to detail. 8-)
Freshly detailed ride deserves a pristine plate and frame, right? LOL
Another awesome video. Always enjoyed your unique skills. Regards from Texas.
G's garage Thanks G!
Great video like always.
mrhrndz33 Thanks. The vids really add to my enjoyment of the detailing process. The fact that others enjoy them is a bonus.
RAD Garage
For me it’s more than just a video. Motivation and inspiration to take both my garage and ride close too your level.
mrhrndz33 That's high praise, so thank you.
Well done
HE'S BAAACKKK! Too long! I can only imagine the amount of extra footage you have that you had to edit down to. Question: Do you miss the actual quad tailpipes of the older SQ5 vs the pseudo ones on the newer ones?
Honestly, I don't know if I miss them or not. Cleaning them was a chore and no matter how careful I was, the metal would pit and make cleaning even more difficult. But, having faux outlets still doesn't sit well with me. I am over it, but as I was using the steel wool to clean these pipes I did not find myself wishing I could do this on my own. It's amazing how controversial the faux outlets have been. I have heard many people say they wouldn't even consider owning a new SQ5 because of them, which is very short-sighted in my eyes, but I guess people love what they love and they don't see the need to compromise.
Yes, I have a lot of other footage. I basically record everything, and I'm now using two cameras so it gets a bit crazy at times trying to manage it all. But, I like how this one came out.
Hope i live close
What do you drive?
@@RADGarage ive a b9 sq5 in mythos black metallic . Love ur details if i live close ill definitely let you make my black suv shine.
Well, I know a thing or two about washing SQ5's, that's for sure! Thanks for the kind words.
Another great video Rick. I have a question. Wouldn't the quick detailer wipe down before applying the Sealant, prevent the sealant from bonding completely to the paint, since it contains glossifiers/carnauba?
HitmanAtM16 You may have something there. I had to get the paint perfectly clean but I'll have to think about that. I have a ""Paint Prep" spray by Griot's that may be a better choice. I just love the Quick Detailer by Leno's and Speed Shine by Griot's so I usually go with them.
Before putting the protection on, its best to avoid using any detailers. I have Griots Paint Prep, but its actually meant to clean the surface to remove any old waxes/sealants. However, after using it many times, its not very good. Griots also has a Pre Wax Cleaner spray (which I have and have used as well), which is meant to be used after polishing, and before applying new wax/sealant/coating. Its simply a Alcohol based solution to strip oils/residue. However, once again, I do not like it. I do however, love Carpro Eraser, which is a far superior alternative in my opinion.
After a wash, or polishing, or even claying the car, I do a final wipe down with carpro eraser to make sure the paint is absolutely void of any residue/oils/contaminants so that the sealant ill apply will bond to the best of its abilities.
Yes, I will have to pick up some Eraser on my next order. Thanks, man. Good suggestion. Keep 'em coming.
Trust me, you'll love eraser. And will do! Cheers.
HitmanAtM16 Ordered. ✅
whats the foamer u sed for the wheels?
Jamesbond Quinones It's a nifty tool called the Z-011 Foam Gun by Tornador. It runs on compressed air. m.ua-cam.com/video/xYJjbo3MNLs/v-deo.html
Where are you located in Canada?

Do you recommend anyone in the Boston area for detailing services?
Sorry, I am way up here in Canada and have no idea who to recommend in Boston. I'm sure there are many reputable detailers in your area, though. What kind of vehicle are you wanting detailed, out of curiosity?
I’m looking for a great detailer in the Boston area too...I have a ‘11 S4 in serious need of TLC like this SQ5 got. Awesome job!
NismoFinder Well, if any reputable Boston area detailers are following this conversation, there's at least two people looking for your help! Or, maybe people from that area can throw out some recommendations? Anyone?
Hey Rick! What mini polisher do you use? I might need to get one for the b pillars, they scratch so quick on the SQ5!
Hi Pete. I am so glad I had all the pillars PPF protected. No more swirls for me. To rid the pillars of swirls I would suggest either the MINI RANDOM ORBITAL POLISHER LHR75E BIGFOOT or the IBRID NANO LONG NECK by Rupes. I have the larger LHR15 MARK II BIGFOOT as well. Between these three polishers, there isn't an area on a car I can't get to.
Adam's has also recently updated their line up of polishers and they seem highly legit as well. I'm hoping to get my hands on them in the near future to see how they feel and perform.
@@RADGarage Ok good to know. I will think about the PPF as well. I just cant stand if i can easy tell its been PPF'd :) Im assuming it was a couple hundred bucks?
Pete Hermann There’s no way anyone would be able to see my pillars are PPF’d. The Suntek self-healing film is amazing. I got them done for a hundred. That’s 4 pillars on each side. Well worth the investment imo.
