If you can afford an Audi R8, you can afford a proper detail yourself. Don't have much time for Top Gear stepping in for this job. Maybe start this series with something more viewers can relate to. Also, drop the arbitrary forced time limit thing - it was a tired format twenty years ago. If you've got a day to shoot it, just say so and get on with it.
They probably quoted the job for 8 hours of labour, why would they want to spend more time working on a job and not getting paid for it? You don't need them to clean a shitbox for you to relate to a clean car lol.
@@SpektrikMusic There's no way the guy directly paid for that job. Just not how telly works. And there are plenty of options for showing more fun, interesting stuff that isn't just cleaning some rich kid's joy ride. Not exactly a sob story that it got hailed on while in Italy is it.
I've seen people take more care on their Fiat Punto than this man does on his supercar. How can he drive around in that, while looking like it sat in a desert storm for two years? Take the car away, before he sticks on some flame stickers on the side. Pretty sure those rims are straight out of hot wheels
I have to applaud both of your observation and deduction skills. You can clearly tell far more about the motives, choices, and life events this man has navigated in the last few years than I was able to from this video. Al I could tell was that the car had been a bit neglected and I didn’t understand why he’d done that. Props to your superior detective work and conclusions.
@@vipe650r I mean, glibness aside, you're not wrong. That you fail to make the connection between someone owning a £100k sports car (that they openly talk about having had wrapped cause they like to play around with the colour of their cars and that got damaged while holidaying in italy) and the inherent ability for them to afford to pay for it to be fixed and cleaned is a clear sign of our greater deduction skills. Or your own idiocy. Phrase it as you will.
I’m certainly with a few comments I’ve seen regarding this stupid 8hr limit.! I’d like to see more of an explanation of the processes used for detailing. After all, I watching the videos to improve the detailing on my car. It’s like when Gordon Ramsay shows you how to cook certain dishes and doesn’t tell you the recipe quantities! That being said, the guys are great to watch and are obviously top notch at their job! Carry on TG
Wrapping, when your done with it, is just a horrorshow to make a vehicle show ready again - Glue, marks, cuts, chips, rust etc to infinity. Just buy a colour you like and look after it. Done.
When I was young, I worked at a car detailer and if I took 8 hours to detail this car, I would have been fired. They were with two of them, so that's 16 hours! What's up with that? that's 2 days for one car, instead of 2 cars in one day a person!
with this whole series, they say "8 hours", but it's edited. there's no way to tell whether they've spent more or less time on doing the job. if it was all done outside then there's a metric to work with (daylight) but it's brought into a garage and worked on after the wash. just because the customer picks up the car during the night doesn't mean that it's the same day. we're told they've spent 8 hours on it. and so, "with the magic of editing" they can spend as much time as they like on it to give it the desired effect.
@@joshcowlishaw8635 it'd still be boring as hell for the vast majority. And most folk would change the channel when the car wash segment came on . Its laughable you even suggested it seriously
@@errolprice9654 no! In this video they focused on how to restore the look of the seats and the glue left on the car, in another one of these I seen they cleaned cement off the car
Hi guys ..isent it good ..just to clean a car ..but have all the right stuff and knowledge..there's a really good feeling after doing a good job...on your motor...some people don't get ..it ...but just to be a man ...cleaning your car ...happy days ...quality take care guys ..peace respect luv...👍🇯🇪
Well done....I really like the central exhaust pipes. Rims are a little much imo. Would like to hear the exhaust note
i think the rims wouldve looked better with the green wrap. but generally yeah i agree with you
I wish TG would put the same amount of effort into reviewing cars.
Honestly I think their reviews are decent.
Top gear should of been scraped after clarkson Hammond and may went!
Tbf, Jack Rix and Chris Harris (when he’s not with the other two) are pretty decent when it comes to reviewing, informative but not boring

Those alloys are a war crime.
Yeah they’re horrendous, even the de badge makes the car look so weird
Watching my favorite car ever getting some well needed love is such a treat, excellent work!
I like the performante style exhaust. Good touch but those wheels ruin the car.
I thought that was from factory lol
I agree those wheels are awful.
What was he thinking with those wheels?
I wish these were in a spin-off channel.
Detailing video should be in 4k

So much this. A thoroughly unworthy candidate for a free wash and showcase.

Great transition. That's an amazing car and it looks beautiful when detailed. I am going to do this for my car soon. (:
Top notch guys. So much attention to detail.
Really love these vids, so inspiring!
Great turn around in that time guys. Well done 👏🏼
Ahh. Well if it's anything like shoots like this that I have done they are sometimes a little 'artistic' with exactly how long they actually take...
What a job. Absolute pros.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the work Top gear is doing to entertain us? Thank you very much top gear!.
My EYES. Those RIMS !!!!
Anyone who treats a nice car like this doesn't deserve to have it back.
I spat my tea out when Jack fell of his chair. 😂

This is very Litty 🔥🔥
All that detailing for him to wrap it again afterwards
8 months later It’s still black :)
Amazing job in 8 hours 👏
why the rush? even Hagerty's video does it slowly, the satisfying shots is really needed
Looks really fantastic, could you please share any recommended products you use to clean cars without damaging them? Thanks in advance :)
finally, an Audi R8
What leather cleaner do you use?
Very rewarding work that is very hard on your knees and back.
Before claying I always do a chemical de con first and tar removal. Less chance of inflicting scratches and less work for the clay bar to do.
What a milestone. Thanks for the vid guys
There was a shedload more than two fellas on this - I can tell you that for fact.
Cleaning cars has got to have a cult following.
What’s the special leather cleaner that you guys use?
Great job guys, as always!
I love washing my cars. I think if you love cars you should treat them like family
What is the foam cannon and soap combination that the boys are using!?
AWESOME SUPERB TOP
Nice car also nice job 👍
Do whistlen diesels next!
Lmao. He would straight up take it on the salt lakes like he did with that lambo and then onto his field for a rally right after it being cleaned.
When you say a lubricant for using a clay bar....can you just use water or is there a decent solution mix that would work better please? Cheers.
I'm very satisfied after the first wash itself 🤩
Gleaming!
with that wheel of course he fell out of love with it.
I love this car
Hello dear, what contain the lubricant ?
Sorry for my ignorance, but why the blue ‘masking tape’ on the large outer panels? Great video, and incredible insight, BTW 😀
Since those areas arent considered paint, you need to tape off the sensitive areas since the polisher can scratch/scuff those areas.
Will the clay bar get baked on brake dust off of my glass black alloys?
You clean cars well good mate. Please show me how you clean other cars
Amazing job bro, really clean the car. Audi is the best.
OK so now Top Gear is a detailing channel....RIP
Don't forget they also do Let's Plays now!
@@Scede Nooooo why did you remember me!
It's definitely the same R8 that was in the Carwow drag race video against the TT RS-R
"ToP gEaR"
The condition of that car prior is despicable. Audi should send a cease and desist.
Back to the future style like it alot 😅
I’ve just taken delivery of an Ioniq 5 with a Matt paint. Show us how to clean that !
Well done boys. Question: with clay bar and lubricant scratches????
Yes. Very ligh scratches which is why you should machine polish after
Why the rush ?? Please remove the 8-hour limit !!
That is the same R8 that was shown in a drag race in Carwow. Atleast the rims are same but not the colour. Maybe they repainted it
Awesome job guys 👌😎👌
Amazing
Beautiful job indeed. Now the big question, how much does it cost to detail a car to this level?
About £150/hour depending on where you are in the country and the detailer's experience level.
forgot to push the start button!
Go on Andrew👏💪💪
What's the cost?
*That car looks like it needs a clean* 👌
To paraphrase Obiwan, "That's... why we're here"
wow those alloy wheels are ghastly….personal taste i know i know.
Who has the money to buy an R8 but can't afford to have it cleaned?
So glad it's a machine polish this time lol
i would like to see the "after' photos without the interior garage lighting. Like take the car outside to see how it looks in the sun
wouldn’t be sunny after 8hours genius lol
I just saw this car. I had to come back and do a progress report. Looks a little dirty but otherwise looks fine
Top gear you should make a trip to Zambia i would be glad to see you we even have a garage here called top gear
Super

Lovely car! Great job. Them wheels are stink and really leave down the car.
They suited it when it was green and on bags.
Hello
Dem wheels are shyyt
I love the wheels honestly
The color black is beautiful. The flipside of course it does not take long to look like shit. I think you boys could shine a Hershey bar
If you’re going to show detailing, can you get rid of the artificial deadline - a decent detail takes 3-4 days. Show what a real detail can do
I wonder how much a treatment like this costs
When I was young, I worked at a car detailer and if I took 8 hours to detail this car, I would have been fired. They were with two of them, so that's 16 hours! What's up with that? that's 2 days for one car, instead of 2 cars in one day a person!
That's proper detailing, not dealers slap dash jobs ;)
Like Joe said, could have easily gone into a 2nd day to fully correct the paint
with this whole series, they say "8 hours", but it's edited. there's no way to tell whether they've spent more or less time on doing the job.
if it was all done outside then there's a metric to work with (daylight) but it's brought into a garage and worked on after the wash. just because the customer picks up the car during the night doesn't mean that it's the same day. we're told they've spent 8 hours on it. and so, "with the magic of editing" they can spend as much time as they like on it to give it the desired effect.
aaaaaaand who cares?
Love form Bangladesh.. big fan of you guys
A hailstorm that put dents in the car which were fixed by just removing the wrap 🤔? Talk about some luck 😅...
Is this what top gear is now? Wow I miss the good old days
I will never understand those wraps, they scratch the car original paint work to death and actually do more damage than what they are worth.
Haii bro❤
That much glue for a wrap, sounds like the wrap shop did a crap job
This is why you shouldn't wrap your cars people.
Mate this should just be a segment alone on top gear
It'd soon get boring wouldn't it ? Have no idea why I'm watching it but I can guarantee I'll never watch someone clean a car ever again or want to.

Am I the only one wondering how the customers get the car there and come back?
Those wheels are horrendous! 🤮
Those wheels need to go, or be refinished in black
Oh c'mon, this one barely qualifies as dirty. :p
✨
Whats wrong with me, why do I think that the TT looks better than the R8? My brain don't work so good :(
These wheels 🤢
