Thanks everyone for 900,000 subscribers, you all rock! The GT8 is just about ready now for collection but one of the final tasks is the trip to Topaz to prepare it and install Paint Protection Film. I can predict the "Why do you detail a new car?" questions and the answer is because you effectively 'lock down' the paintwork under the PPF so it's best for both appearance and the installation process to make it as perfect as possible beforehand. Not only that, you can really make it look that extra bit more special and Topaz do a wonderful job of this.
Shmee150 congrats on the car shmee,watch you from tampa florida,if there's a better looking aston color combo i haven't seen it, matches university of Florida colors....go gators!!!! maybe it's name can be gator?
Eric Ortiz I know, even with all those amazing cars as soon the camera spun onto that F40 you feel the presence of infinite greatness, even over camera.
Beautiful car, congratulations. It makes me happy to see a European like yourself enjoy the exhaust note of a throaty V8. Here in the USA, that is a note that we hear often and appreciate. Can't wait for some of your videos of this beast on the road.
I noticed when you was touring the factory but put it down to being different types of paint because its brakes thus youll never get the same shade. Also the ppf makes the colour look deeper so always a plus!
This was already seen when the car was assembled in the Aston Martin factory. I think the reason behind is that the caliper color is from Brembo color options and the car color accents are from Aston Martin color options. Bear in mind that Brembo suggest not to re-paint brake calipers even if they are brand new.
Shmee fantastic job! I love these videos I usually watch these videos 2 or 3 times. As a car enthusiasts I Love seeing cars cleaned..its a feeling most non car enthusiasts just don't understand. For them its just clean for us car enthusiasts its a event, religion if I say...lol.
Tim I have a question.. why do they snow foam and wash and dry the car after the detail? Surely the work put in to removing all the "ever so minor things" is completely undone when the car is dried again? It will surely add more minor marks in this process? Anyway great video
The reason is to wash out all the residue from the polishing compound that fills the panel gaps; you need to get rid of it else it will cause issues under the film. Very specific microfibre towels are used for drying that minimise the scratching as much as possible.
i agree with Driving Derby. im a car detailer myself. and i can say washing the car after being detailed is ridiculously stupid. washing= scratching the car again. they could have just used a special degreaser. anyway they got a nice result so well done!
Well if there's nothing on the paint work which there wouldn't be after a detail and snow foam there's nothing to cause damage to the paint work. Paint get scratched from dirt which is on the surface so if there is no dirt or debris then the paint won't get scratched or swirled.
You have to take into consideration that for the PPF to stick the best it can, you need to remove absolutely every single speck of polishin residue etc. I am pretty sure Topaz knows what they're doing.
wow I am a very big Aston Martin Vanquish fan and to see this rare car it's quite an honor. I'm impressed on the way you had the car detailed I never thought detailing a car after buying it is that it would have those types of walls makes me think. have a nice day
Im personally quite obsessed when it comes to detailing a car. I've done it for...maybe 4 years now and i just love it. Last car i made was my own, 7,5h later the paint was perfect and when you see that shine when you take the car outside. It's really kinda therapeutic to do :) Wish i would own more than 1 car to detail though. Ps. GT8 looks awesome ! I could watch these kind of videos everyday !
blairjayson you've got a point there! I recall him licking his finger and rubbing a spot of polish residue off of the bodywork haha! They may aswell have just sent the car straight to Topaz to do all the work!
Your GT8 is by far the best colour combination you've done! I'm not a huge fan of Aston Martin but damn you've spec'd it perfectly! Can't wait for your AMG ShmeeTR!
I always love your Topaz Detailing videos. They are so entertaining to watch since I like to clean my cars as best as possible. I learn a lot! Given my one and only car is under $30,000 and not a limited edition, I can't justify spending thousands for PPF, but I do like to take care of it as best as I can! :)
That paint really is absolutely outstanding. The orange really has grown on me too, but the blue should be named "Perfect Blue" for how good it looks. Looking forward to catching this car on the weekend. And here I am looking at my DS3 pretending it's as flashy as the GT8.
You should see if you can get some carbon covers for where the wheels are going to throw stones etc up to protect the carbon shell which cannot be replaced.
You have great taste in cars Shmee, love the spec on the Aston. Been watching your videos since the V8 Vantage days, it's amazing how far you've come. Enjoy it mate (y)
I like how you say "we" are gonna do this and "we" are gonna do that, when we the viewer know full well you won't be doing anything! Anyway, beautiful car Tim!
the car is beautiful tim.... i personally think red or black is probably better than that orange but it's your car, your decision.... congrats for the new car tim, can't wait for the amg gtr and ford gt!
FInally a TH-camr who gets nice cars actually takes care of it! So many people get a nice car then neglect it. I detail cars and I think I'm one of few specialists in Palm Springs. That's pretty sad because there are so many nice cars here
Do you plan on tinting the windows to match the black wheels? Would bring the whole car together. Nothing drastic, just a finishing touch so there is a bit more black on the side profile of the car.
Hey Shmee, I was wondering... How much time it took to do all that washing? The whole process at Day 1. There's so many steps that makes me think you were there for hours hahaha. Cheers from Brazil.
the template cad works a nice view of this process and why it makes a good investment on a keeper. PS do you take your cars out for a nice anniversary drive .

Congrats Shmee! A lot of hard work mate, well done.

Shmee150 Congrats on 900k! Do you already have an idea for your 1 million subscriber special, cause you're not far from that! The GT8 is awesome!
Even dismantled, that F40 LM looks so good.
Eric Ortiz I know, even with all those amazing cars as soon the camera spun onto that F40 you feel the presence of infinite greatness, even over camera.
couldn't agree more
I think this is possibly the most beautiful Aston Martin ever. A fantastic colour combination. Hats off to you sir, very good taste! 👍
your attention to the details is excellent dear Shmee
I'm happy for you Shmee, i've followed you for a long time now. You AND your channel is growing! Thumbs up from Sweden!
I find these paint protection videos really enjoyable, I've watched every one of them and still find them great to watch!
Congrats on the new car! Topaz made it look even better! Beautiful!
That GT8 is my new favorite in the collection. It's gorgeous! Just look at those rear fenders! And the spec!
Beautiful car, congratulations. It makes me happy to see a European like yourself enjoy the exhaust note of a throaty V8. Here in the USA, that is a note that we hear often and appreciate. Can't wait for some of your videos of this beast on the road.
Are the brake calipers different orange than the accents on the splitter and the side skirt?
Yes, I'm surprised more people haven't noticed.
I also noticed that

Topaz... How amazing they are, they seem to be very professional and PPF installation is so interesting, thank Tim Tim to let us discover this things.
Tim, congratulations on the milestone. You'll be at 1.5 million subs by summer. Keep up the great work. (Mike in Ohio)
Shmee fantastic job! I love these videos I usually watch these videos 2 or 3 times. As a car enthusiasts I Love seeing cars cleaned..its a feeling most non car enthusiasts just don't understand. For them its just clean for us car enthusiasts its a event, religion if I say...lol.
The spec looks amazing,and the sound its brutal.Congratulations on the car you have!
You can easily see how much cleaner the reflections are after the sanding polish thing. That's amazing.
the GT-8 is rolling art! Absolutely beautiful! Congrat's Shmee on all the subscriptions, I million coming soon!
It is always amazing to see how much work gets put into the paintwork to get shine like that.
At first i was like, nothing can beat his FF. But holy moly this GT8 sounds brutal. Wow
Tim I have a question.. why do they snow foam and wash and dry the car after the detail? Surely the work put in to removing all the "ever so minor things" is completely undone when the car is dried again? It will surely add more minor marks in this process? Anyway great video

Driving Derby most likely they used compressed air, or heated blower
You have to take into consideration that for the PPF to stick the best it can, you need to remove absolutely every single speck of polishin residue etc. I am pretty sure Topaz knows what they're doing.
Tim u deserve it brother u have been working so hard for it and the way you share your things with us is some thing very special I loved it brother.
wow I am a very big Aston Martin Vanquish fan and to see this rare car it's quite an honor. I'm impressed on the way you had the car detailed I never thought detailing a car after buying it is that it would have those types of walls makes me think. have a nice day
I would never be able to live your life because of how much you have to wait. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
This car is utterly stunning. Love it.
Its looking great, now theres no need to worry about those pesky paint chips. Congrats on 900k subs Tim, well deserved!
Best sounding car I've ever heard. Simply incredible!
I always enjoy this type of your videos. It's quite amazing seeing what paint prep guys can do. The car is looking gorgeous :)
Damn, Tim knows what he's talking about 👌🏽
I am shocked how good it came out after, Evan noticeable on the camera so with the naked eye it must be a big improvement. 👍
congtrats on 900k!
I forgot your GT8 is a manual. That will be awesome to take on the track. Cheers!
Congrats on 900k you deserve it your content is very enjoyable ...it's clear you work hard planning and executing it. I really enjoy it.
Im personally quite obsessed when it comes to detailing a car. I've done it for...maybe 4 years now and i just love it. Last car i made was my own, 7,5h later the paint was perfect and when you see that shine when you take the car outside.

Ps. GT8 looks awesome ! I could watch these kind of videos everyday !
That black ff looked beastly!
Heartiest congratulations on reaching 900k hard earned subscribers !!!👍
Awesome colour scheme and I genuinely think it's the best sounding car I have heard !
900k mate. Fantastic. You'll be at 1mil before summer.
Alexander Barr He might reach 1mil any moment..
I thought Dr. Andy Palmer personally inspected the GT8 at the factory. I guess he missed a few of those imperfections in the paint.
blairjayson you've got a point there! I recall him licking his finger and rubbing a spot of polish residue off of the bodywork haha! They may aswell have just sent the car straight to Topaz to do all the work!
never realized how much work goes into prepping cars for a show, but it's worth it, looks fantastic,😋
My God this car is absolutely disgustingly gorgeous!!!
Your GT8 is by far the best colour combination you've done! I'm not a huge fan of Aston Martin but damn you've spec'd it perfectly!
Can't wait for your AMG ShmeeTR!
Why hasn't he showed the amazingly painted LT ?
Wow, so much work goes into the detailing and paint protection. The guys did a great job. Would like PPF for my car one day.
Absolutely love the asymmetrical exhaust tips. Gives it some more character.
pri last video he said it is symmetrical, because of camera angle it looks asymmetrical, but it isn't.
2:47 Didn't know that cars actually can have an orgasm :D
Lol
Boulma I came inside of the car and my cum was dripping out😂
I thought the exact same 😂
that workshop is a detailers heaven!
If I have to be honest, the Aston Martin GT8 looks more expensive and rare than the 675lt. It's a pleasure to look at the gt8
but mclaren has better handling better gearbox
Congrats on 900k Tim! That is a huge accomplishment and keep in mind, next milestone is 1 million!
I really love the idea of Tim getting a little garage place where he will keep all of the cars, I think that will be so cool
Hopefully one day in the future!
I always love your Topaz Detailing videos. They are so entertaining to watch since I like to clean my cars as best as possible. I learn a lot! Given my one and only car is under $30,000 and not a limited edition, I can't justify spending thousands for PPF, but I do like to take care of it as best as I can! :)
No matter what, The f40 cannot be replaced. Ultimate dream
I love that color blue on your GT8. It's gorgeous! Great car congrats.
That paint really is absolutely outstanding. The orange really has grown on me too, but the blue should be named "Perfect Blue" for how good it looks. Looking forward to catching this car on the weekend.
And here I am looking at my DS3 pretending it's as flashy as the GT8.
I can't wait to hear and see you drive there that beautiful Aston Martin GT8 😺😸😻
You should see if you can get some carbon covers for where the wheels are going to throw stones etc up to protect the carbon shell which cannot be replaced.
You have great taste in cars Shmee, love the spec on the Aston.
Been watching your videos since the V8 Vantage days, it's amazing how far you've come.
Enjoy it mate (y)
Tim, you must have no problem at all, when selling one of your cars. Taking so much care with mechanicals and exterior.
900k, awesome. I am here since your very first days
Congrats on 900k subs!
I think this car looks better than the 675Lt and certainly sounds better!
IMO, your GT8 is the best looking car you've ever owned. Can't wait to see your Ford GT.
The color looks amazing👍🏽
Great content shmee! Love all the nerdy detailing vids, the car looks and sounds great
My life, my money, my car, my channel, my way. I like it.
i was sceptical about the spec but it's just beautiful
Stunning colour scheme I must say.
Such a good spec on that GT8
Absolutely gorgeous car.
the paint on the 675lt parked next to the GT8 at 16:14 is amazing!!!
I like how you say "we" are gonna do this and "we" are gonna do that, when we the viewer know full well you won't be doing anything!
Anyway, beautiful car Tim!
congratulations Shmee150 to the 900K subscibers and specially the GT8 and few month to go before the GT and AMG GTR
Awesome car! Congrats!
Is it the paint that causes the issue or is it in-fact the gloss clear-coat that is put on the car after the paint?
That is, by far, the best looking car you owned in my opinion. :D
You better come to Holland Tim! ;) Seriously want to see your cars in person!
Stay tuned! I am planning many trips, also to the Netherlands :)
Tim do you get your extended aero at the handover or is it at topaz?
We're going to put them on for Autosport but typically I will probably only use them for display to avoid speed bump issues.
Shmee150 yes that's fair enough I wouldn't trust driving on the street with them on especially with your car park. All the best Tim
Congrats, those cars are gorgeous!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks amazing Tim, can't wait to see it at the Autosport show!
See you there! Make sure to check all the latest information right here: bit.ly/2j5QXwk
shmee150 love the car mate and congratulations on 900k subscribers well deserved
Beautiful car Tim. Congrats!!!!!!
Congrats on your aston martin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 love the combination
Beautiful, beautiful GT8. I'm jealous.
Was that a MSO HS @ 17:25? Wish you'd filmed that a bit more.
Hi Shmee, Love watching your videos. cannot wait to see the GT8 on the open road :-)
the car is beautiful tim.... i personally think red or black is probably better than that orange but it's your car, your decision.... congrats for the new car tim, can't wait for the amg gtr and ford gt!
Sam's new 540/570 getting PPF in the bay next to the Aston?
Congrats shmee!!
Getting close to 1mi subs congrats Tim
Oh my god that exhaust sound is epic...!!!
The sound is incredible
Looking forward to seeing this at the autosport show!
FInally a TH-camr who gets nice cars actually takes care of it! So many people get a nice car then neglect it. I detail cars and I think I'm one of few specialists in Palm Springs. That's pretty sad because there are so many nice cars here
this procedure is very difficult and expensive but its worth it for cars like these.well done
Hmm 540c next to the GT8 near the end, STG???
love the attention to detail
would having water in the exhast pipes be bad? what if you don't all of it out? @2:45?
Do you plan on tinting the windows to match the black wheels? Would bring the whole car together. Nothing drastic, just a finishing touch so there is a bit more black on the side profile of the car.
congrats shmee. your car is really amazing. cheers
didn't care for the color combo at first, but the more I see it, the more I like it -- it is a beautiful automobile.
That thing looks WICKED Shmee!!
that lt with the black wheels and the speciale were f'in beautiful
Hey Shmee, I was wondering... How much time it took to do all that washing? The whole process at Day 1. There's so many steps that makes me think you were there for hours hahaha. Cheers from Brazil.
Yup I was for hours!
the template cad works a nice view of this process and why it makes a good investment on a keeper. PS do you take your cars out for a nice anniversary drive .
