    'sorry about the grainy quality." 😂 Probably the only content creator that holds his videos to the same standard as his details. Trust us, we're not holding high quality lights and video spectrum tools up against our screens. Just keep up the great work and we'll keep watching.

    Someone recently commented on another one of Jim's videos. He asked why Jim never seems happy. This video is a perfect example of the amount of headaches and land mines that running a detail shop (especially a high end shop) can produce.
    Jim spends a week, likely 55-70 hours, quite literally wrestling with his client's cars. Working in isolation. Laser focused on his tasks. Being in his own head.
    This happens often in the detailing industry. A detailer notices damage on a car and then proactively shares the information with the client. The client, either never having seen the damage (or claiming they've never seen the damage), are quick to blame the detailer as a way to have someone (other than themselves) be responsible for the repair. This is a real powder keg scenario. Which I'm sure Jim has been through. And thus, was proactive in simply eating the financial burden of the damage himself rather than debating with his client on who was at fault. Because Jim knows where this path leads. Even though he used a chemical and a process that has been proven safe time and again on OEM surfaces that haven't been repaired by outside businesses.
    My guess is that the cost of the refurb was a significant bite out of his profit on this Mercedes job. Gutting indeed. When you're sore and in some physical discomfort (often pain) from working that client's car all that week.
    Love watching these videos, Jim. You inspire for sure.

      A scenario that plays out in many other industries as well. Ultimately it’s caused by clients who are distrusting of the professionals they’ve chosen to do work for them. Given the amount of cowboys around, it’s understandable, but it’s also disappointing that clients don’t trust the original decision they made to pick said professional in the first place.

      He’s not happy because his standards are so high for his work and clients. Every time I do a car i feel the same as him and I am not even in the same universe.. but I expect a a lot of myself. My friends think I am crazy when they see the car and I am just meh. They are beyond happy.

    Jim, for top-end repairs, tell your customer to look at Foz Sports Alloys. They're a bit out of Glasgow, but, they double bake the lacquer to avoid orange peel and also powder their wheels horizontally using an automated oven for a flatter finish. They do a lot of wheel refurb for high-end manufacturers like Mclaren etc.

Great finish. Hope they managed to get some decent refurb people in Glasgow to sort the issue out. As always, a pleasure to watch and learn.

    Good to see you back with a great but very hard job. Hope your back is holding up. Interesting hearing about the wheel problem... we bought a new Fiesta ST last year and I very quickly noticed a slight tackiness to one alloy. I had the car booked in for detail and coatings and asked the chap to take a look as I couldn't shift it. He used his usual products and it exposed the exact same problem. Obviously damaged in transit and not declared. After a lot of complaining, eventually got a new wheel. Keep up the great work Jim.

From a distance as always looks amazing and then you show us all that what can go wrong & does go wrong.
