@@VinceTheCreatorr if they do my bet is it would be due most likely to parts. Have you ever heard the saying that a car is worth more in it's parts than it is as a whole??
In comparison, I was proud of the fact that I just ran my E46 through the car wash and sprung for the $16.00 "ultimate" wash. That should hold me for a couple months!
My 05 Honda Element has needed a good wax.. and an automated Wax / Wash... really sucks. They did the top and or rear.. but they suck at the lower 1/4. Its clear or smooth on the upper part of my doors... but there is definate grime on my lower door quarters. Car Washes... really just plain suck. Water is recycled, there is markup ontop of markup. I should go to a local wash it yaself... but Im unsure about using plastic bristles on my paint. Also... no personal offense, 16bux for a auto wash.. is just not worth it. I didnt even spend 10bux. I also know if I spent 30... its still not what "Id like". Shit, if its not clean... its not clean.
I personally think that this car is not only the nicest vehicle Ed has owned, but more importantly, the most ‘important’. The quality of work in that car is pure art. Hands down the best car he’s ever owned. Love it.
Ed walks into his garage with a 5 year old plastic tub of turtle wax and a dirty tee shirt ready to rock, his team shows up with 150K in detailing tools and product!😁
Be careful... He coulda used Wax from Kimmie and her Butt Implants. He coulda used Mayo... Either way ya go... Ed can use what he'd like. Im just going to sit here.. and let the man talk quietly / southernly about how he chooses to do something right. P.S Dont ever EVER call Ed more than ONCE about something. Not a dude.. you want to hear raise his voice.
more like a 5 year old plastic tub of turtle wax, a dirty tee and a rock to apply the wax. hopefully this experience sticks with Ed. I'll add that Freddy seems to need a crash course is maintaining the exterior of cars too. As someone who always keeps their car mirror reflection clean it always drives me nuts seeing all those swirls and dirty cars always being shown. The problems of perfection and having an eye for detail.
I have a soft spot for Spyker. I'm Dutch myself and I used to go to Sebring and Le Mans, rooting for the Dutch teams Racing for Holland and Spyker. We would go to Le Mans with around 40 people, set up camp, have a free for everybody Friday night party with free beer and a live blues band. The Spyker Squadron, as their team was called, used to come party with us too and invited us to the paddock the next day and at the factory later that year. They were really appreciative of our support. Spyker may not have been the last word in engineering or performance, but it's special and I'm thankful for having had the opportunity to get so close to the people chasing their dreams. Seeing this video put a smile on my face. Good for you for safeguarding a piece of automotive history.
I graphene coated my beater 2010 C70 via that vinwiki gloss-it special and couldn’t be happier. The paint on my car isn’t great but it looks a lot better afterwards and gives me time to decide if I’m gonna do a respray or not. Took me a whole weekend to detail my Volvo inside and out.
I love the back end of the Spyker. It reminds me (somewhat) of the old 60s GT40, not a dead ringer by miles, but has just enough to get the juices going. Wonderful, quirky car. I also love the exposed shift linkage , I believe Pagani did something similar.
I bought a low mileage S2000 back in June and had a complete paint correction and ceramic coating done on it a month ago, and now I have the exact issue you talk about where it's almost too nice now. Every time I drive it, I have to wipe it down and quick detail it haha
"some swirl marks" is a massive understatement...... that car looks to have severe spiderwebbing everywhere. that amount of paint correction is a massive job..... thats more like a week + job even with a team of people
This video a one big infomercial for Ed to get a free car polishing. Severe spider webbing and a massive job. Sounds like a lot of stupid speak. If it takes 30-40k to polish a car. Then a respray will be better. The high end detail market is a big scam. At the end of the day it just a car. Metal and Paint. To use the value of the car in order to justify a 30k detail is retarded. It’s all a scam. The gloss it university is even a bigger scam. It’s laughable. He is a good at scamming I give him that. Take that gloss it university degree to car dealer instead of 15an hour they will give you 16.75an hour.
Thank you for showcasing the knowledge, effort and experience needed to perform high-quality *Paint Correction* on a vehicle. This is much more that just a weekend "detail". *KUDOS to Rich and the GlossIt crew!* . . . Also, that *Mohawk* deserves its own youtube channel! Outstanding!
Your storytelling has gotten even better over the years, warmly flowing, self effacing comedic and riveting all in one tight package. It was a real pleasure, Ed! Kudos to you, and to the team that polished this jewel of a vehicle.
Hey if you see the comments on this later....... I'm soooo stoked you made it into the video, I was really hoping it would be a video when you had mentioned it in passing weeks ago and seeing it on insta
I hate washing car and black cars. Had a black car once never again. However black is the best colour if you have a cleaning crew to keep it spotless....
I've seen a few online threads from professional detailers that do exotics / high end paint corrections and the before and after can be quite unbelievable. Having a car too nice or clean is a problem because it makes it harder to enjoy and just drive. Instead of doing what Ed does and actively looks for a bad example, I look for a solid bones car with repair work that I can mostly manage to do by myself to save money. I've never had a car with really nice paintwork though, but I'd like to have one.
Ed, this was one of your best ever stories. I talked with Spyker about buying one of the water cars used in Basic Instinct 2, virtually identical to your car, after the filming. Wish I had it now! I’ll be taking a Porsche to Gloss It Las Vegas after watching this!
“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes―understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”
They sure got their advertising money’s worth with this video. But I DID watch the whole thing, because it still was entertaining to see, and I’ve always loved those Spykers. Admittedly, when I first saw one, I thought it was pretty, but kinda strange from same angles. But this design has aged extremely well, and now I see them as drop-dead gorgeous. They’re not gimmicky or cliche in their details, and the level of that detail is amazing. They really are a modern coach built car.
Ed I just got my 97 Viper GTS paint corrected/detailed/ceramic coated and I am the same way about keeping my cars clean. But man does it look good! Definitely worth it.
I like to wash my cars three times: Once about a week after purchase, when I'm still under the illusion that I'll keep it clean, then once after about a year of ownership, and then a final wash so that it'll look nice when I take pictures to sell it.
Saw 1 Spyker spyder a few years ago. While the styling was eccentric, the level of craftsmanship in the interior can't be denied. I could just sit in it and revel in the luxury all night inside the garage.
As a 20 year old who enjoys looking and learning about new cars the stinger brand has been a favorite since I was a kid. Seeing beautifully crafted machine's like it sparked a weirdly keen intrest in me but it wasnt till later that I started to really apperciate everything about those cars. Kinda like idolizing Lamborgini and Ferrari as a kid but realizing theres a completely different ball game above that with Koenigsegg and Pagani.
I live in a farm and i used a capped internet service... I just crank it up to 1440p just to watch this car on full resolution in my monitor. Thanks Ed! XD
So glad you got that Spyker It really gives us a chance to get a good look at one an with your unique commentary we get a nice inside feel of what they really are like. Of course the Bugatti woulda been a completely different world but some how this Spyker is telling a great story an I'm diggin it.
By the end: " ok ed, in step 759.7, here were looking to see if a finer polish w...." Ed: (throwing his arms up in defeat whilst walking away screaming) "IT PUTS THE DIRT ON THE CAR, IT PUTS THE DIRT ON THE CAR....."
I like to detail cars, any cars. But that car was taken to limit - way beyond what I or most detailers much better than me could do. Amazing results and great video.
As punishment, my father would make me clean wire wheels, I hate cleaning my car's, but I did have a 72 BMW fully detailed a few years ago, I was going to get it resprayed, the workshop said it wasn't damaged they could restore the paint, took 3 days & it won awards for original paint afterwards, Rj in Oz
Spent most of a weekend, so 16 hours-ish, detailing the hell out of a 1991 Nissan Sentra BASE (hand crank windows, folks) to prepare for senior prom '95. It did NOT have the desired effect on my date, proving that no matter how well the turd shone it was still a turd of a car.
Dude every time you talk about your spiker it makes me want it more. IDK if selling it is a great idea. I have seen you passionate about cars but the spiker is on a new level. Really I like the spiker WAY more than a Bugatti.
I detailed cars alot of cool cars when I was a teenager, but I was most proud of a barn find flat bed 70's ford, made out of a uhaul, hadn't been touched ever (which actually was a good thing) alot of buff compond, and wax later, looked amazing (with that orange enamel paint) lmao :D
Ed, the car looks amazing. I hope you can fully utilize this when the time comes to sell. The price for a professional detailer shouldn't be a shocker. It's more or less $100/hr. Sure, all of those hours cannot be charged at the full amount because they're still learning but most people leaving a car at a shop, with all of its equipment, will pay at least $100/hr.
Honestly this entire video is just a 20 minute ad for Gloss-It, and I don't really mind because the story is really interesting. Seems like they really care about the quality for detailing, love to see it.
I bought a "new looking" 64 Pontiac from Ontario. Big mistake, the undercoating had been laquered on so thick & somewhere down the line 45ish years ago, somebody put bondo sealed & brass welded panels in the floor then covered them with thick undercoat. Looked legit, til i started trying to clean it up underneath & chunks started flaking off. 🤣🤕 Always check the floors no matter how low the mileage & clean the body work!
Ed, be aware that once you apply a pro-level 9H or 10H ceramic coating, you won't be able to add a PPF over it without wet sanding the coating first. PPF won't adhere to ceramic coatings, due to their hydrophobic properties, and slickness., There's nothing for the adhesive to "grip."
IMHO, $10k in detail to perfection on a car of this caliber, a "half million dollar car" is absolutely a no brainer, you pay the guy your money, don't ask questions.
You'll have to experience a detail from ammonyc at somepoint in your life. Absolutely amazing results from the cheapest vehicles to top of line hyper cars. But this crew certainly did an excellent job.
I usually spend 1 day per year detailing my car, remove carpets sometimes remove trim and badges and other misc. I did the ceramic coating and it makes it much easier to keep a nice car looking good. Other than that, through the car wash and a quick wipe down. I would feel differently if I had cars of this caliber.
I cannot believe I am watching a 20 minute video about Ed getting his car detailed... and being very entertained by it.
You just want to see him spend some of the money he made off you!🤣👍
I'm about to watch a 21 minute video of you selling your cars at auction!
It's as close to watching Ed narrating a paint drying contest as we'll ever get
Yes and there is your videos, where we watching many minute videos about some dumb guy making bad car purchase decisions, and being entertained by it.
Same.
"When I think of hard to clean cars, they're still in a swamp" - after buying as many flood cars as Ed has, this makes complete contextual sense.
what'd you say about my momma
I wonder how much(if any) of a profit people make on flood damaged sports/hyper cars
@@VinceTheCreatorr if they do my bet is it would be due most likely to parts. Have you ever heard the saying that a car is worth more in it's parts than it is as a whole??
In comparison, I was proud of the fact that I just ran my E46 through the car wash and sprung for the $16.00 "ultimate" wash. That should hold me for a couple months!
Car washes hate my e46, they attack the mirrors and try to snap them off.
Nothing but the best I see haha
My 05 Honda Element has needed a good wax.. and an automated Wax / Wash... really sucks. They did the top and or rear.. but they suck at the lower 1/4. Its clear or smooth on the upper part of my doors... but there is definate grime on my lower door quarters.
Car Washes... really just plain suck. Water is recycled, there is markup ontop of markup. I should go to a local wash it yaself... but Im unsure about using plastic bristles on my paint.
Also... no personal offense, 16bux for a auto wash.. is just not worth it. I didnt even spend 10bux. I also know if I spent 30... its still not what "Id like". Shit, if its not clean... its not clean.
@@christianbuczko1481 some bastard took the mirror housing off my e46 😢.
I personally think that this car is not only the nicest vehicle Ed has owned, but more importantly, the most ‘important’. The quality of work in that car is pure art. Hands down the best car he’s ever owned. Love it.
It's a perfect example of a collectable. I'd say somewhere between the early Ferrari's and the F40's and 50's. Much more to look at than to drive.
These were underrated I remember first time seeing it on too gear its been one of my favorites since
Same. I'd rather have it than a veyron super sport.
Ed's story chops are 2nd-to-none. And I saw the car in person at the Alpharetta, GA event - and it was amazing.
Ed walks into his garage with a 5 year old plastic tub of turtle wax and a dirty tee shirt ready to rock, his team shows up with 150K in detailing tools and product!😁
Bold of you to assume Ed uses wax 🤣🤣
@@jsquared1013 im pretty sure he uses his hair shampoo.
Be careful...
He coulda used Wax from Kimmie and her Butt Implants.
He coulda used Mayo...
Either way ya go... Ed can use what he'd like. Im just going to sit here.. and let the man talk quietly / southernly about how he chooses to do something right.
P.S
Dont ever EVER call Ed more than ONCE about something. Not a dude.. you want to hear raise his voice.

The guys from Gloss It truly transformed this car!
Spyker looks absolutely stunning, Ed! Massive props to the team!
Proud Dutchy here, the Spyker looks great!
Thanks for giving all the people that helped out a quick shout out! 👌👌👌 That was really nice of you
$10k is definitely a reasonable investment considering the value of the car and the fact it’s appreciating.
And that $10k in detailing will prob get another 50k outta the cars resale for being an "amazing example"
Something artistic and good looking as a Skyper deserves a quality detailing
Ed, thank you for this amazing opportunity. The outcome was incredible and the experience was unmatched. See you at Sema 🙌🏻
This was an eye opening story. Props to Ed on knowing how to tell this story. You've got some story chops Ed. Truly.
Ed is the greatest and smoothest speaker on the youtubes.
I think Ed is You tubes very own.

Cause it's hidden. Like a tiger. Then when you least expect it it leaps out and snatches your wallet.
haaaa! smartass! love it! all good fun
@@gsmith207 Always in good fun. Ed is smart enough to never get hurt on cars, he knows what he's doing
That Spyker surely is one of the most unique cars that Ed has owned. Are you making a list of manual Spykers like you did with the Murci ?
They are all manual! Good job Spyker.
I graphene coated my beater 2010 C70 via that vinwiki gloss-it special and couldn’t be happier. The paint on my car isn’t great but it looks a lot better afterwards and gives me time to decide if I’m gonna do a respray or not. Took me a whole weekend to detail my Volvo inside and out.
The Spyker C8 is a timeless classic car all around. The C8 Spyder is one of my two top dream cars. Thanks Ed for showing it some real love.
Even on camera the car looks like obsidian and pure metal can't even imagine in person!
I love the back end of the Spyker. It reminds me (somewhat) of the old 60s GT40, not a dead ringer by miles, but has just enough to get the juices going. Wonderful, quirky car. I also love the exposed shift linkage , I believe Pagani did something similar.
I perfectly finished black vehicle is the ultimate in beauty. The level of depth and reflection and gloss is unparalleled by any other color!
And if it lasts 30 minutes you"re lucky.
@@OneOut1 that's VERY true and I would know!
project spyker was memorable!! Thanks Glossit AND VINWIKI!!
I’m so proud of how far Ed has come from thinking ceramic coating was snake oil to spending 20 minutes loving a black car.
Literally a giant, narrated ad for Gloss It and Gloss It university. Gotta hand it to you for the creativity. 😊
I bought a low mileage S2000 back in June and had a complete paint correction and ceramic coating done on it a month ago, and now I have the exact issue you talk about where it's almost too nice now. Every time I drive it, I have to wipe it down and quick detail it haha
At least the ceramic coating makes it an easy chore. Love S2ks.

Love these cars the exposed shifter and the toggle switches everything is amazing the attention to detail. Hope to see one in person.
Yea it reminds me of pagani the shifter st least.. the car is a work of art
Only Ed can tell me about having his car detailed and keep me interested for 20 minutes. Bravo to great story telling!
This car is absolutely beautiful, click bait aside on the title, the paint correction really does seem amazing.
Ed and his Spyker, still a better love story than Twilight! 😄🥰
What a great combo.
Ed is the man ! He can do no wrong ! I live vicariously through him !
Still can't belive Ed sold his SLR in my home country (Bulgaria). I Hope I'll see it some day
I have wanted one of these since I first saw one on Top Gear years ago. Truly one of the most beautiful modern cars
What a great ad for gloss it.. certainly the longest ad I've watched and didn't really get upset by its length lol

Nice. I can't wait until I get my own shop and can spend the time to detail other peoples cars to that level!

Always a pleasure to watch Ed. Thank you
I just did the annual ceramicoat on my 18 year old W211 and she looks like a new paint job.
The Spyker is low key one of my favorite cars. So glad that Ed bought one so he can make more content on it!
Glossit is going to owe you royalties forever for this ad :-) spectacular work!
Ed, I’m amazed it looks like a different car, little on the higher end for you. I mean that in a good way of course.
My son has a poster of one of these on the wall. He is so in love with cars it's scary
LOL !! Ed, I too spray my cars off at my hanger and SPEED DRY them on the Expressway !! DONE !! They look gorgeous !! 🙂

This is really cool. I've seen a video like this. I've never seen how these folks really clean and "polish" a car, and it's really interesting
Missy Elliott has an LFA and an Enzo. She’s an enthusiast for sure🙌🏾
To see Ed figuring what an organism is... That was so beautiful, so pure!
My favorite feature of the C8 were the stainless steel sheet metal screws used on the front splitter.
how is this channel not at 2 million yet it so deserves it

Such a good looking car. I had my M3 ppf’d and ceramic coated right off the truck on delivery so that I could enjoy the car without any worries
I wish there was a compilation with AMMO NYC Larry! That would be epic on this
Ed’s ability to tell a story, about a boring topic, with an ad all throughout….. no less than impressive.
This is why I have to just do quick hose and dry washes because the second I start looking closely the OCD takes over and I see EVERYTHING.
Loved this vid. very well explained. Thank you,keep it up!!
You'll have to experience a detail from ammonyc at somepoint in your life. Absolutely amazing results from the cheapest vehicles to top of line hyper cars. But this crew certainly did an excellent job.
I usually spend 1 day per year detailing my car, remove carpets sometimes remove trim and badges and other misc. I did the ceramic coating and it makes it much easier to keep a nice car looking good. Other than that, through the car wash and a quick wipe down. I would feel differently if I had cars of this caliber.
Ed’s idea of washing his cars is how I wash my body, power wash, then streaking.
The Spyker is a timeless design. You did the right thing
