Mental health, don't take it for granted folks. Kudos to you Jim for recognising you were starting to go stir crazy working yourself and by yourself to the bone. Hope your trip away gives you that breath of fresh air that we all need time and again. Callum seems a good egg, I'm sure you'd be good company for each other. Him learning from you, and you getting someone to converse, bounce ideas off and bounce tape off lol. I think you can see there is a lot of concern on here for you fella, so we'll see you when we see you. You could pop up and see Alan at AMdetails and enjoy the roads up that way. Driver's Nirvana.
Can you all give a shout out to Jim. Poor chap is stuck in Christchurch, New Zealand with no idea how to get back to UK. Would be good to let him know we are all rooting for him. Thank you all and stay safe xx
Jim, huge fan of your work and videos. Craft is second to none but appreciate it get's lonely just remember your a staple in the industry and being more present in the community will definitely do you justice and I'm sure loads of detailers would love to work with you.
Respect your honesty. Sounds like taking a break is absolutely the right thing to do. Why not take some time out. You definitely deserve it, Jim. Thank you also for all the videos. My car and my wife’s car both look much smarter after following your advice and techniques. All the best.
Enjoy your time of Jim. As a fellow detailer who struggles with long periods of being on my own and enclosed in what is the 4 walls of our units, I can relate very much to what you are feeling and the reasons you are going traveling. I wish you all the best with your travels and hope you come back feeling refreshed and recharged, possibly with a different outlook on life/work. You are an inspiration for my self and others in the industry. Hearing you explain about how you feel at present gives me a little hope that I'm not alone with my struggles, thank you.
Jim you have no idea how this video resonated with me. Its so true that we detailers get lonely alone in the shop grinding on cars and forgetting about the real world as we try and stay connected through music and podcasts. Take some time man, I would hate to see you quit, you have inspired me for a long time. Cheers man....
First time of posting Jim although I have now watched all your videos and all I can say is wow! You are a master craftsman who takes pride and passion in his work. You don’t just do detailing - you create a piece of art. Fabulous workmanship and dedication. I wish you well in whatever you decide for the future and only you will know what direction to take so whatever you decide then I’m sure that it will be the correct decision for you. If I could attain 10% of the quality that you attain then I would be happy. Good luck and I wish you well. Cheers for now. ..........Graham
Good to see another episode Jim, although it’s obvious you definitely need this break, hopefully you come back revitalised and full of the energy we are used to watching. All the best chap
Enjoy your holiday Jim, I hope you come back refreshed. Life is a funny balance, I work in technology in a noisy office where people need to talk to me all day long. I yearn for a job like yours, headphones on, concentrating on doing one thing very, very well. The grass isn't always greener mate. Ultimately, most jobs suck a little bit. Wishing you all the best. Callum looks good too, the real deal! Keep up the great work, both of you.
Hey bud so glad u have not gone away but understand time away is needed. I hope u come back relaxed and energized. Really enjoy your videos and learning so much from you! See u soon!!
Just over three years ago I found White Details while I was studying at University. Since then your Vlogs have given me the tips and tricks necessary to succeed with my own detailing business, you were also one of the reasons why I became certified with Kamikaze Collection. Thank you for your time and dedication to the trade. All the best with your time off in NZ, and if you swing by Australia on the way back, I'd be honoured to work with you. Thanks Jim!
Really glad to see another vlog of yours Jim. Nothing to be ashamed about in needing time away from the process / business, hopefully talking about it will have helped, don't worry or burden yourself how your subscribers will react we men need to speak up, open up these days on issues affecting us mentally.
Not sure if you read these comments but just wanted to say thanks for putting in the time and effort that goes into making all the vlogs. I think we all know it’s not easy. You’re truly at a higher level of professionalism than most other detailers. I hope you find what your looking for. If in your travels you decide upon a different path could you at the very least let us know with one more vlog. Good luck and safe travels.
I hope you find the passion, Jim. Enjoy the vacation, and hopefully, you come back. WE WILL ALL BE HERE WAITING. Cheers Mate. If this is the last vlog, then I say thank you. Your videos and vlogs have taught me so much as a weekend warrior. THANK YOU JIM
Jim, first thanks for the years of education and guidance. Enjoy your time away, and I hope to see you back on your channel. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you continued success. Enjoy my friend.
Great to see another vid! You know we all would like a new vid every week, but most important is you. Take the time you need, set the pace that best suits YOU. We will never walk away. We're grateful for each new vid we get. Stay well and safe !
It's okay you take some time off - as long as you update us from the campervan 😁. Seriously Jim - sometimes we hit a brick wall and need to reset the compass. Hope you find your course again and catch favourable winds for wherever you might go from here. Big up to Callum and happy trails to you down under 👊🏻.
just know, that you've changed my life and the way I detail my own collectible fleet - All Rupes based and Scangrip lit now with sensational results. All as a result of watching your work. Appreciate you've gotta make a dollar doing it!!
Just my two penneth, 1. DO enjoy your vacation - you deserve it! 2. When you get back, DO get yourself another employee.3. DO go out on the road and share your knowledge and experience with others.4. Most importantly, DO NOT GIVE UP ON DETAILING. You are a major reason why it has become what it has. We need you! Take care Jim.
Rest up man! I've been watching for some years now and you certainly deserve a long break! I had a chance to meet Alan from AM Details when we instructed together at the Detail Clinic at Chicago Auto Pros this past week, and he speaks very highly of you. Hopefully one day we can meet up and chat and chill . For now, have a great time off
Thank you, Jim for sharing your knowledge, skills and humor with us. You are a true professional. Enjoy your time off and I look forward to the next chapter. Surely, we will all be here for you, no matter your decision. Cheers
I'm a weekend warrior but have grown my skillset exponentially over the years and I'd attribute so much of that to you and these videos. Just a thank you. Hope you find what you need in NZ - not sure if there's a better place in the world for what you're after.
Best wishes Jim. Loved watching your work but looking after yourself is paramount. Hope to see you again, hopefully doing something you love with loads of supportive people too - being alone too much is not good for the soul. Take care. Enjoy your trip to NZ (I'd love to visit too :-) )
It is the pursuit of peace that should entice us to take breaks from the things that we love so that we can be reminded of why we love whatever it is that we love.
Mid life crisis was my wake up call in life Jim. You have all the answers, just give yourself time to pick the right choices out and all will come good. Be lucky.
Just watched this video Jim and it really resonated with me. I’m a photographer and occasional videographer, but ultimately I have to spend lots of time on my own doing all the editing. I get that day release for a wedding maybe or meeting clients, but that’s it. Being self employed can be a lonely business and people don’t realise that. I’ve had to fight my own demons over the last few years and put that pressure on to my family. I like to think I’m coming out the other side now, but it doesn’t mean I’ll forget what it was like to be there and right in the middle of it. I’m not going to bang on Jim, I just wanted to say that you’re not alone fella, you’ve made the biggest move by identifying that you needed a break and to reassess your life. We’re not on this planet long, so we each have a responsibility to enjoy it as best we can. When my day comes, I don’t wanna go with regrets. Keep up the good work, keep smiling and as long as you produce these vlogs, we’ll keep watching them. Luke
Hey Jim, I'm not a detailer but came across your channel recently and enjoyed the videos. Fair to say that working by yourself is very lonely and detailing is hard work. Mental health is critical and I'm glad you spotted that you need a long break. Take as long as you need and come back brighter. If you decide to do something else then do it - I'm sure you'll be a success with your drive and hard ethic. Good luck and all the best.
I wish you all the best and hope you really enjoy your time away. If your life goes in another direction, thanks for sharing your mad skills with us over the years
I’m only a weekend guy but I’m on a break myself. I think when you get away you’ll be re-energized. I think your lesson returning is you need a week off more frequently due to the intense focus needed for this profession. I hope you find another partner as well if you decide to pursue that. You’re the man Jim. Take care and I’ll be keeping up with wherever life takes you!
Yes Jim echoing comments below. Take your time and get yourself nice and refreshed. We will be here ready to watch and enjoy your work whenever that is. Maybe come down to Melbourne Australia. We could set up a mobile unit and tour around detailing as we go. "White Details Downunder" has a ring to it. Best wishes from Australia.
Hi Jim, Welcome back - It's great to see you back, like many many others you've inspired me at home - I've taken your passion and applied to my home setup and got great results. Your fans will miss you when you're away, however, the best thing about your return is your recognition that a break is needed for you - so I would say, have a great time when you're away and will look forward to your return - whatever that happens to be! G...
Hey man just wanted to say I loved your work and for about 2 year now I’ve been following your Channel. As a fellow entrepreneur I sympathize with your predicament. I wish you only the best in life , I’m inspired by every video I watch it would be very sad if they stopped but I understand if they do. One of you biggest fans from across the pond ( as they say ) god bless you and good luck. From Chicago.
Jim, truly a master of your craft, perfectionist, artist and so humble with it. Enjoy your time away. Work can always wait. Have a wholesome experience.
Enjoy your time off in NZ Jim. Hope you come back refreshed and revitalised. The detailing world would not be the same without you, however you have to do what you have to do, so best of luck whatever path you take mate. All the best!
Great work as always Jim, you've been a massive inspiration over the last 18 month's since I've been watching your vlogs. I wish you all the best, and hope you enjoy yourself taking a much needed break.
Take it easy Jim. I really enjoy every video you upload. The level of attention for detail is truely awesome. Hope you feel revitalised soon and you enjoy detailing like you used to! Take care.
Hey Jim, thanks as always, and especially for expressing your frustrations, it's quite common for all of us. I hope the trip gives you the time to find your passion - whatever it may be. Cheers!
Good to see another vid. Definitely take some time off, don't completely burn yourself out. If you do decide to keep detailing, having Callum help out every now and then would be very beneficial for you. Have fun in New Zealand 👍
I worked on my own for over a decade and had headphones to keep me company, they were ditched them once I started to work with someone. Time to get a sound system you can both hear and enjoy some banter.
Great result guys, hope the break helps Jim working at that frenetic pace plus hours over time it is easy to be come isolated. Getting that work life balance is a challenge for many, so a reboot may assist in future goal setting to address your specific needs as a priority. Your driven nature helps is some way...so good luck we will support you in your decision. Your for me have been the go to guy those who I always point as a master of his craft, you care that comes across plus we thank you for it. A shout out to the #detailingworld forum plus the support plus encouragement they give. John Tht.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and thank you for sharing what you’ve been dealing with in your headspace. It sounds like you’re burnt out, which is so common with peak performers like yourself. Hope your travels gives you the opportunity to take that step back that you need
Hey Jim, I really love what you do. And I can completely understand how you feel. Detailing cars to perfection takes up a lot of mental energy. I'm glad you're taking time off for yourself.
What one of the best car polishers for a divas iam looking to buy one and you get them where you can swap the size of heads. Nothing to heavy as I am quite disabled but you’ve gave me something to live for. I am looking forward to doing my car as I can probably do that sitting down. Love you’re vidios an you seem a really nice chap.keep your head up and try not to get depressed. Hopefully your break will help. Alan
Great Vlog Jim. Missed your videos but totally understand the reasons for the hiatus. Hope you enjoy the much deserved break. I think the idea of getting out and about doing Vlogs with other detailers and/or getting someone in to help in with your bookings will make things a bit more enjoyable. Take care mate.
Been so looking forward to another episode. Bit sad really that something that gives me so much pleasure and satisfaction, watching your vlogs, is the same thing that is contributing to your need to get away. That said mate, the break will do you some good. We will still be here when you get back. All the best brother. Go enjoy yourself 👊
After working myself into a breakdown some years ago, I now realize how important it is to give yourself enough time to re charge the batterys, enjoy your break and I am sure that you will come back stronger than ever, good luck.
This has me a little more excited to do the annual detail on my car here pretty soon. Take care Jim, everyone needs a break to keep from getting too burnt out, have fun and take it easy!
Good luck Jim enjoy your break away, too much work and not enough play is alway a bad thing, but when your passionate in something like you are it's very easy to fall into the trap and easer for people from the outside to see a difference in someone. Take care
Been a big fan of whitedetails for a long time now, we all need a little time out or we all would crack up lol, enjoy the time off and out and about ect
you are an inspiration, I am going to start this in Uganda but especially for my kids to have something to do and take it further in future. nice break
There are a million way to do something wrong, but only one way to get it right. Top job guys.
There is something soothing about watching Jim polish paint to perfection.
Mental health, don't take it for granted folks. Kudos to you Jim for recognising you were starting to go stir crazy working yourself and by yourself to the bone. Hope your trip away gives you that breath of fresh air that we all need time and again. Callum seems a good egg, I'm sure you'd be good company for each other. Him learning from you, and you getting someone to converse, bounce ideas off and bounce tape off lol.

Agreed Sheila, How you stay healthy Jim, not a bad place to be stuck, good luck
Take care Jim, take your time! We true fans will be here when - if - you’re back!
All the best for you, take your time for yourself, for me you have been a part of my life with your vlogs for the past few years, thank you for that 🤗

You are the MASTER in paint correction. Enjoy watching the video.
Welcome back Jim! This is by far my favorite channel.
First time of posting Jim although I have now watched all your videos and all I can say is wow! You are a master craftsman who takes pride and passion in his work. You don’t just do detailing - you create a piece of art. Fabulous workmanship and dedication. I wish you well in whatever you decide for the future and only you will know what direction to take so whatever you decide then I’m sure that it will be the correct decision for you. If I could attain 10% of the quality that you attain then I would be happy. Good luck and I wish you well. Cheers for now. ..........Graham
It's an absolute pleasure to watch people doing things properly. Enjoy your break mate. You thoroughly deserve it. You will be missed.
Take care of yourself, big fan of your work and videos. Be well.
You put to shame every other car detailers that I have seen thus far! The GT3 is my absolute bucket list purchase.
Good to see another episode Jim, although it’s obvious you definitely need this break, hopefully you come back revitalised and full of the energy we are used to watching. All the best chap

Missed you Jim. Amazing work. I am loving the red and gold combo on the 911. Go and recharge your batteries and live life.
You are beyond belief, love your articulation in all you do. So intense and the journey from start to finish is fantastic.
Really glad to see another vlog of yours Jim. Nothing to be ashamed about in needing time away from the process / business, hopefully talking about it will have helped, don't worry or burden yourself how your subscribers will react we men need to speak up, open up these days on issues affecting us mentally.

All the best Jim on your travels
I hope you find the passion, Jim. Enjoy the vacation, and hopefully, you come back. WE WILL ALL BE HERE WAITING. Cheers Mate. If this is the last vlog, then I say thank you. Your videos and vlogs have taught me so much as a weekend warrior. THANK YOU JIM
Welcome back Jim. Getting a 2nd person in there is bound to help. Love the 10” 😂
😳
Nice to see you back Jim - please don't stop detailing as you'll be a huge loss the the detailing world.
Jim, first thanks for the years of education and guidance. Enjoy your time away, and I hope to see you back on your channel. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you continued success.
Enjoy my friend.

We wish you all the very best Jim. You have been an inspiration to all us amateur driveway detailers to strive to do that bit better.

Everyone needs a holiday from work to recharge the batteries. Enjoy New Zealand, what a fantastic trip to look forward to. You’ve earned it, too!
Enjoy your time off, I’ve learned from and enjoyed from your vlogs. Aloha-Al
Fantastic service. 👏
Best wishes Jim. Loved watching your work but looking after yourself is paramount. Hope to see you again, hopefully doing something you love with loads of supportive people too - being alone too much is not good for the soul. Take care. Enjoy your trip to NZ (I'd love to visit too :-) )
It is the pursuit of peace that should entice us to take breaks from the things that we love so that we can be reminded of why we love whatever it is that we love.
Callum’s a lucky fella working with yourself on cars like that. Can’t wait to see more vlogs and best of luck 😝
Good luck and take care.... enjoy the time away and forget the stresses and pressures.
It’s been a hell of a run, nothing but admiration for your quality and craftsmanship. Safe journey and Godspeed in all your future endeavors.
Mid life crisis was my wake up call in life Jim. You have all the answers, just give yourself time to pick the right choices out and all will come good. Be lucky.
You're probably one of the best detailers in the UK dude. Thanks for all your advice and videos.

Callum is very confident in front of camera, a great choice! Great to see you back and hopefully you'll get your Mojo back 😊
Yes Jim echoing comments below. Take your time and get yourself nice and refreshed. We will be here ready to watch and enjoy your work whenever that is. Maybe come down to Melbourne Australia. We could set up a mobile unit and tour around detailing as we go. "White Details Downunder" has a ring to it. Best wishes from Australia.

Take all the time you need Jim! We'll be here when you get back. You deserve a rest and a refresh.
Hey Jim, go take some time out and hopefully come back feeling better.
Great opportunity you have given Callum there too 👍
Jim you work your ass off, and need a much deserved break. We’ll be here waiting for your next video whenever you’re ready. Take care of yourself!
All the best and take care of yourself
Great work as always Jim, you've been a massive inspiration over the last 18 month's since I've been watching your vlogs. I wish you all the best, and hope you enjoy yourself taking a much needed break.
Take it easy Jim. I really enjoy every video you upload. The level of attention for detail is truely awesome. Hope you feel revitalised soon and you enjoy detailing like you used to! Take care.
Hey Jim, thanks as always, and especially for expressing your frustrations, it's quite common for all of us. I hope the trip gives you the time to find your passion - whatever it may be. Cheers!
Have a great time, no polishing of the camper van !!. Look forward to seeing you back revitalised later in the year.
Good to see another vid. Definitely take some time off, don't completely burn yourself out. If you do decide to keep detailing, having Callum help out every now and then would be very beneficial for you. Have fun in New Zealand 👍
be safe JW...hope you'll get back on schedule with this madness
Wouw Jim i would never guess that it came so far. Hope you will not quiet detailing. Take your time and hope we will see you back.
Welcome back Jim I was actually Mad before I started detailing so I’m way ahead look after yourself health is everything 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I worked on my own for over a decade and had headphones to keep me company, they were ditched them once I started to work with someone. Time to get a sound system you can both hear and enjoy some banter.
Enjoy your well deserved break in NZ, Jim. Great to see you back on UA-cam.
Awesome Jim👍😍
Nice to meet you Callum welcome to the UA-cam white details Vlog audience
Good to have you back Jim!!!
Great result guys, hope the break helps Jim working at that frenetic pace plus hours over time it is easy to be come isolated.
Getting that work life balance is a challenge for many, so a reboot may assist in future goal setting to address your specific needs as a priority.
Your driven nature helps is some way...so good luck we will support you in your decision. Your for me have been the go to guy those who I always point as a master of his craft, you care that comes across plus we thank you for it.

Jim’s detail quality is so good it reduces the drag coefficient. ;)
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and thank you for sharing what you’ve been dealing with in your headspace. It sounds like you’re burnt out, which is so common with peak performers like yourself. Hope your travels gives you the opportunity to take that step back that you need

After working myself into a breakdown some years ago, I now realize how important it is to give yourself enough time to re charge the batterys, enjoy your break and I am sure that you will come back stronger than ever, good luck.
Absolutely outstanding ✊ enjoy your well deserved break bud
This has me a little more excited to do the annual detail on my car here pretty soon. Take care Jim, everyone needs a break to keep from getting too burnt out, have fun and take it easy!
Good luck Jim enjoy your break away, too much work and not enough play is alway a bad thing, but when your passionate in something like you are it's very easy to fall into the trap and easer for people from the outside to see a difference in someone. Take care
Been a big fan of whitedetails for a long time now, we all need a little time out or we all would crack up lol, enjoy the time off and out and about ect
Great to see some new material Jim. Hope your travels & adventures help reinvigorate your love for the life and the job buddy. All the best - Ste 👍🏼
Amazing car , good job ! 👏🏻
Glad to have you back, Jim👍
Best of luck to you, Jim. You are an inspiration to many, I hope you find some inspiration of your own.
I would love to have a GT3, they are pretty much perfect IMHO.
It has been a long time indeed! We started to miss your vlogs :) You made the right move getting help of someone else! Enjoy your time off :)
