Thank you Sarah for bringing us content that's fun and entertaining during the global craziness.
Absolutely fabulous job on the Forester. It's hard to make white look good, but you've managed to do that. Flat-out clean. The close-ups showed your attention to detail, particularly how clean everything is.
8:11 yessssss. The Package. That is a whole vibe
Hello from self isolator in Switzerland.
Sorry to say but yes, please do the MR2!! Love to see the difference you make to these cars, every second is worth it. Stay safe.
The color of the box comes from the types of trees used to make the pulp for the paper in the box.
True.
Most "yellow-ish" boxes are based on rice paper. "Brown-ish" color have more wood pulp based fibers.
Sarah you are so precise with your cleaning and detailing.
If I lived in your area I would pay you whatever you asked to detail and coat my car.
2 main reasons
1) Would be the best quality job EVER
2) I believe you would be fair with price and it would be worth it.
N95's are made of synthetic fibers. (petrochemicals) if stink mask is a concern line the inside with Kleenex. I use 1/2 sheet. When too moist, replace as needed. YES, makes it harder to breathe but it masks the smell.
Don't be scared to load up the micro suede with more coating. Also let it flash for a bit longer (hard to see on white I guess) before buffing off. Don't get wet for 24 hours!
For plastic you can get plastic coatings, like CQuartz Dlux, will make it a darker shade and seal nicely.
I actually started watching your channel because of your detail content, then I got hooked on your projects. Keep it up, you’re my fav TH-cam channel.
I love the videography skills you have. Great video composition. I really dig your your short cuts...like your cut to the ignition switch and then a cut to the door handle. They are little things but they show attention to detail and they keep the video moving and interesting. You could teach "how to do youtube videos".
Thanks Sarah of the interweb for keeping me entertained.
When I saw the title, I was thinking of the ceramic coating you can get applied to headers, exhaust manifolds, and downpipes. There are places where you can mail your parts and they put them in a kiln to fire on a coating of ceramic, then ship it back to you.
From somebody that has been doing ceramic Coatings for quite a long time you doing a great job. Making sure you level the coating is Paramount!! Other than that you're good. Sarah keep in mind> CQ quartz 3.0 UK Edition!!! An outstanding coating that's a bit more forgiving. 😎
I believe, from my working at a Kraft paper mill for years, the color difference is because the other countries uses different trees than the United States. Box paper is made from pine trees.
I have one of those mask. I think they are a N100 model, but you are right. Filters are impossible to find right now

Sorry I misspoke. The facemask is a 6200DD with P100 cartridge filters
Hello, Sarah-n- tuned i love watching your videos. Its nice to see a woman mechanic it shows time is changing. You are very skilled in the jobs you performed on your cars, also you are very smart, and beautiful. No disrespect to you at all its a complament. I cant wait to see more vlogs, and videos. Well take care,and stay safe robert . P.s keep looking beautiful😀
Thanks for another great video Sarah!! Learning so much from you!!
Most ceramic coatings need to flash before removal, 30-60 seconds is the usual time. Not sure if this product is supposed to flash or immediately get removed, but still makes an instant improvement
I definitely enjoy the humor in your videos. Get some learning and some laughs at the same time. Hope your heath has improved. Keep the great videos coming.
The cardboard color depends on what it's made from. For example, you have waste paper product, the stuff that isn't good enough to make other paper products. Cardboard from Asia is sometimes made from rice pulp, or a blend of rice pulp and wood pulp. The rise paper is not as sturdy. It also has to do with what other materials are blended into the mix as a filler and how much of it is recycled materials.
Sarah is skilled tough, humbles me, I appreciate her abilities.
i just ceramic coated my car today. I applied it and let it flash for two minutes before buffing it off. It actually became more glossy after about 5-6 hours after completing it.
Nice shot of the Montana license plate in the background at the end!
You're car detailing videos, have inspired me to polish and wax my car for the first time in 2 years. Turned out quite good, apart from all the dings and scrapes🤣.
Awesome video on the ceramic coating. Forrestor Gump is absolutely amazing stunning. And this stuff works...great job my friend
Double check, That ding in the gas flap is usually a factory press mark where your supposed to press to unlock the cap in certain models
Something else you may like is gyeon wet coat for the wheels! You're literally just keep the wheels wet and spray the ceramic sealant on & hose off immediately Done. and the durability is at least three months. Btw you did an amazing job!!!! 😎
The ceramic coating we are using say it lasts for about 2 weeks max after the bottle is opened. So once opened use it all up. They also say shelf life is a minimum of 1 year. As far as Asian packaging being a different color, it is not because of the rice content - that is very rude. It is because in many areas they do not have as much virgin fiber as we have in north america or Europe. So they have been at this recycling game a lot longer than we have and are able to use more recycled fiber in their cardboard. The shorter fibers and additions of more and different glues to get back to the strength equivalent to longer virgin fibers cause the different coloring.
Those pink gloves are lit! I thought my black gloves were great until seeing these! ooooohhhhhhh
Admire your patience in detailing Forester Gump. The car looks perfect now. More than quality work.
Btw you look very nice with that mask. Like a good alien helping to fight the evil ones. 👍🏽😷
Great job on the ceramic coating, the big deal with it is to cure it on the vehicle for 24-48 hours inside out of sunlight !
I know what ya bought sarah, cant wait to see it finished.. Wheel arches and I hope the OEM mud guards
During this Apocalypse, there are a lot of new terminologies coming out. And "crotch face" is one of them. Thanks for all you do to keep us watching your channel. Apocalypse or not, you're still the best!
Those filters in that mask will last quite a bit more than one paint job. Also, throw that microfiber towel away. With ceramic coatings you don't want to reuse that towel used to level the coating for anything else. What your seeing is not placebo affect. Ceramic coatings effectively lay a microscopic layer of clear down and level the surface a tiny bit.
Fifteen52 podium or Enkei RS05RR wheels would look nice on there. Lots of spokes.
I don’t think you could ever have a “not cute” look. Keep the videos coming. Good job keeping us entertained.
That ceramic coating looked great, and yes, I’d like to see mister dos coated as well. So, hoping for the 100,000 views. As for the parts, I’d thought brakes, but I see from Jim’s comment, that’s not the case. It’s not rims, only 2 boxes. How about high flow cats, or something exhaust related. I don’t remember if you’ve done exhaust on the gumpster or not. I’m looking forward to whatever it is.
I was detailing in the rain today in Nj. Your videos got my OCD going.
What’s in the box? OEM Wheel Arch Molding!
Hi Sarah, 'not her great detailing video, as always, love your style, flare and just plain hard work with fun for free thrown in, you are fab.
P. S. Thanks for the subtle music suggestion, I ve bought Thirteenth Step and Three Sixty., do that more if you can, please. Take care of you x
Just found your channel. I love your humor! It's so genuine! Keep up the videos please!
Damn I wish I had a garage to detail my own nice new white CRV. That Forester needs gold wheels. "Ghost of a water spot"? Your vision must absolutely be 20/20.
Stay safe. Detailing is relaxing, well for me anyway, watching.
Lovely Jubbly, yet another great video to watch, many thanks.
Perhaps use a pop-up canopy, so you can apply that stuff outside? Less stinky, no need to air out the garage.
Hi Sarah. Have you ever figured out the actual instructions for that ceramic coat? Crazy it didn’t come with any instructions. FWIW, I’ve ceramic coated several cars using a few different products and all of them have a typical “flash time” of about 30 seconds to 4 minutes minutes (depending on the temperature) before buffing it off. And usually 2 coats is recommended with about an hour in between coats, topping off with a SiO2 sealant. And let it cure away from water for at least 24 hour. Hope that helps.
Fender Flairs because you said it when you were detailing your car!
we always enjoy your videos Sarah
Good choice of music to detail by. I prefer my doses of MJK to come as Tool but APC works as well.
You unanswered the questions I had about ceramic wax! I could see the good results you had with it. Thanks!
Coating looks amazing! Very impressed
Great video as always!!! You are a pleasure to watch and listen to!!!
You should ceramic coat your wheels too, it really helps cut down on brake dust build up. What shade of white is that does it have any pearl in it? It looks almost the same as my series white STI oh well anyhow good work love your content.
Thinking either ledramp or coils.. 🤔 could be some spiffy tubes thou.. or something to clean up the enginecompartment.. 🤔
Let us know how you like a Si02 coating and how it holds up Don't forget the tail lights and headlights, thanks for this video Sarah it's been crazy times ! 😟
Tim Brown I have a separate ceramic product for those.
Sarah -n- Tuned Yeah ? I just did the headlights on my Subaru I used Gyeon trim coat.
Just a guess you bought Gump Bushwacker fender flares, new tires, and off-road bumpers with Baja lights and Winch :) Thank you Sara for your humor!
Thanks for this video, I was nervous to use that stuff but after this video you made it look fun.... I'm going to start with my dark green 95 Legacy
Gotta love ‘a perfect circle’. ‘Specially the track ‘pet’. Good taste!
Sara, Alex from LegitStreetCars does trim too and almost everything else and it looks awesome!
Excellent. On your recommendation i have just ordered the same product (Procar ceramic car coating system), hope it comes out as good as yours.
Great job Sarah on the ceramic coating.
And yes Oil gauges are a must !!!
“Big package...” kinda missed an opportunity on that one Sarah. Anyway another fun video keep it up!
GamerToni 7’ long
Sarah used to have a Big Package.
@@bustinyanutz2163 What happened to it?
Awesome and keep that respirator to!
I wear one detailing cars when cleaning carpets and seats. You never know what is in them. Having messed up lungs I can't take a chance of anymore irritation 🙁. Looking great ❤ and the car too 😁
Thanks for keeping us all laughing Sarah! Love the work you do!
Cheers
Some products say more coats the better even up to ten coats for years of shwing. one coat per year, thats why they charge 2-3k
I enjoy your humor to begin with, but I think the vapors and fumes from Nanolex make you even funnier. I really enjoyed this video. I hope you get the 100k views, I'd like to see Mr. Dos done as well.
I'm thinking I need to claybar and ceramic coat my Golf now. Great video, Sarah!!
Nice video once again, Sarah. Can you use that ceramic stuff on the windows?
Gotta be big brakes, suspension, exhaust and CAI...maybe even a COBB tuner 😎
Hi there. I'm curious, did you buy a Wheel Arch Trim Kit? Good luck with all your projects. Stay healthy.
I’m just wondering what prep you do before you apply that stuff. did I miss that video somewhere?
Wow that stuff is brilliant, car looks super shiny👍
🤣 at 5:33 “if you lack common sense then you can just
eat toilet paper”!!! hilarious gal
I really like Forester Gump and how you've GQ'd him. Keep uploading content. Love ya Sarah.
I can’t believe this is my first message to you (Hi, Love the content) but on a board ... on cardboard comes a cut and paste “Jet nailed the answer, it is due to the much shorter fibres in Chinese corrugated paperboard, as compared to Aus and USA board. China has a much higher recycle rate in the board due to lack of enough trees to make their own virgin board. Generally, Chinese board will have a softer feel, and not be as natural of a Kraft brown color.”
Hi is my name in my life would you take lunch at a time to get a chance its not to be alive or a sketch in a hospital bed early 2000's and a little more of a day and a little bit more of the native language in your own life and you have to go through it and I have to do it again and again thanks to your home and your life in the states of my best friend who is the one I love to be a part time I have kids who knows how to get a good boyfriend to get a good boyfriend to get the chance to get a job that is sitting on a desk
wtf... am I high or just infected
Drugs are baaad … Mkaaaay
Could those boxes contain HKS coilovers? You might want to go crazy put a control arm kit and sway bars(box too small for that) but usually people upgrade with coil overs first.
Discovered your videos this week and have been bingeing (sp?) since... very enjoyable and learned something in every one of them. To return the favor... Placebo effect is a term used in drug testing when some patients are given the drug and some are given a placebo (which should have no physical effect) and some patients with the placebo show improvement anyway (psychological effect). So a new drug must be significantly better than the placebo (or existing similar drugs) to be approved. (A little "Lab Science..." by Greg)
Hi Sarah you brought a intake manifold and muffler .
I used the McQuears hybrid ceramic/wax and it attracts dust real bad.
You are the most amazing and unusual woman I have seen in forever and I have a thousand questions about you in reference to things you have said. Good job on gump!
Nice cleaning job now Forrester is supper shiney
Was thinking bout doin this to my Escape. Look great with the hair down.
Hey Sarah, what did you use to bring all the black areas up nice and black???
I'll go for big brakes kit.
I think you mentioned that in a previous video. 👍👍👍
Petros Papapanagiotou negative, not yet.
Hmmm... 🤔🤔🤔
It"s not the brakes, it's not the wheels...
Must be the suspension then?!
And if not, come on, show us the revealing video!!! 👁️👁️
Hi Sarah,
The Scooby looks mint. 😎👍I would stick to a traditional carnauba wax on Mr Dos. It would bring the warmth and depth out of the paint. 👍
While looking for info on how to wax a 2024 Wilderness Outback, Stumbled upon your video. It's been 4 years, how well did the ceramic protect your paint and how long did it last?
Great job on Gump looks real shiny hope it lasts as expected and wow super close up 👀😁
Love A Perfect Circle ♥️
Just got 1000% cool points showing an amazing LP by The Perfect Circle!! Also great detail vid, came here for the MR2 and staying for Gump detailing work.
Detailing to A Perfect Circle... as if you werent the coolest chick on the Tubes already! 🤩💖🙌
I’m actually surprised they didn’t advise to cook it under a heat lamp to make sure it bonds to the paint?
Regardless, it’s looking very shiny! 👍🏻👏🏻
You’ve got a lot of patience. I know for fact that stuff is never easy to apply.
Can’t wait to see the added parts.
all that and great taste in music too (APC.!!)
What’s the cure time on the coating? Isn’t there a period where you can’t get it wet? Hopefully you did the water test a couple of days later. :)
omg. sarah is so adorable.
Can you do a video on proper repair of rock chips. You do such a great job, I know it will be perfect.
I hope I find someone that treats me as good as Sarah treats her cars
Slavery is banned, so no. Lol.
Great job sara.. can you do some ( nice and easy) stickers for the MR2 and the Forester. Good luck 👍
Kiyomizu tattoo really cool !
