I personally find Detail Geek's work very satisfying as far as 'consumer-grade' detailing goes. Jim's work of polishing an exterior for multiple days is not very comparable to cleaning filthy beaters.
This car can never be driven anymore! 😂 Just don‘t touch it anymore! Jim, an incredible piece of art what you have done on this car! Absolutely incredible!!!
Fantastic work as always, Jim! This car has great significance for me. As a child, growing up in the '80s, I was an avid reader of 'Fast Ford' magazine and dreamed of owning an RS Ford. In 1995 my dream came true and I bought a mercury grey 1989 series two Escort RS Turbo. The nostalgia and great memories I have of that car, have come flooding back, watching this.
My dad owns an XR3 from 1981. Watching this detail was very sentimental. Im glad to see such a fine example being detailed by none other than Jim White.
Man, you are the absolute number one! Your work is as near as perfection that can be humanly done! Cheers from the other side of the sea (Neuquén, Argentina)!
Mega Mega work!!! Everyone can understand the fantastic detailing on this car...however, only a few will truly know and appreciate the time and effort you must have put in with the camera work! Thank You @whitedetails and Jim!
Jim. Your work is superb. The fact that you work so hard on your customers cars is one thing but then to edit these videos for your audience takes your commitment to another level. I remember driving these when they were new. Another Ford success that back then were 10 a penny but now as rare as rocking horse 💩 in this condition. Brilliant. Thanks.
I did work at Halewood in the paint shop for 30yr building Escorts and I never did I see a car go passed me looking anything like that 👍 not even at the dealership when we would go there, yes it had some stone chips, that you could do nothing about, but that looks better than new to me. Love it and the car 😆
I saved watching this video for the first day of my hols. Jim, as I mentioned on your insta post it is been a pleasure to watch you breathe life back into my motoring heritage. I have been cleaning and now detailing cars for 40 years and you are simply he best. Every day is a learning day -thanQ
Couldn’t sleep last night and while surfing TH-cam I came across your channel and this video. Thanks Jim for putting this up. One of my favourite cars restored so well and you have a great way of presenting. Cheers
Really good to see a car from my youth being brought back to life. Stunning work Jim I can only imagine the frustration that it caused you but the results speak volumes.
Absolutely brilliant, the finish is Stunning, and I will be honest, at the beginning of this video, I did not think that you would of got rid of those underlying scratches within the paintwork... But you did, and I take my hat off to you, unbelievable.... And I will also say that I throughly enjoyed watching this, thank you.....
Wow ! Just .... Wow! The rougher they are, the better they look when it comes to the White Detail. So good to see another vlog and boy was this a looker! Thanks Jim !
I don't know what to say. You are the reference standard for all detailers. I have not seen anyone who gets close to you. Just bought you a coffee to show my appreciation.
Hi Jim I'm glad you carried on doing this after last year and you saying you fancied a change etc etc it's good to see you back and you're a master at your class. Very inspiring and as always superb work transformation is awesome someone will be very happy taking that to the next show. All the best mate long may you continue doing this Jules in Notts
Hi Jim, another great case study, I am a BMW fan my self but it was fantastic to see an old school ford on the channel. In fact I was on my lap top when I seen this and had to go to the living room to watch this on the big screen! Well done for taking on the challenge with regards to the combo of the car and colour. Love all the lines on that car and it makes a nice difference to see this rather than the regular modern day machinery that's on. Keep up the great work, another like and all the best until the next one!
My dad had an Escort xr3i in black with the red pinstripe unfortunately before I was born . My mother decided it would be fun to write it off and he got a rover 414i and an escort van when I was born 🤮
Sir Jim you are a detailing wizard ! Until just recently I owned a Mercury grey version of the same car ! 20,000 mile 3 owner ! Thank you for bringing back so many happy memories 💖
Jim, my first reaction was 'wow, I am astonished at how well this RS has come out', but taking a minute to absorb what I've just watched, I shouldn't be surprised at all... The effort, time, skill and dedication you have put into this project, and the final results, are a benchmark for all detailers everywhere. You are my new favourite detailer (along with the likes of Paul Dalton and Kelly Harris) and I cannot wait until the next video. As far as I'm concerned, White Details is the very definition of car care. Keep up the excellent work, you are an inspiration sir.
I watched this all the way through last night (best Saturday night tv I’ve seen in years!) and I’m still in awe at the incredible job you did on the Ford Jim. Blown away!!!
Much prefer to see the old cars getting detailed and the level of skill involved is so much higher than on the more modern paint Great work and thanks for filming it
Amazing results. Said to myself I’d just skip to the end and see how it came out....but ended up watching the whole video!!! Great content as always. 👍🏻
Great job Jim, and what a nice car. Takes me back, right back 1988 and being 17 cleaning next doors Escort xr3i in mercury grey for £10 and my mums flat black MG Metro Turbo!! Happy days, fairy liquid soap in one bucket with a sponge!, turtle wax paste, Autoglym Glass polish blue thick plastic marking glass cleaner. Armarol dash gloss! polish or Mr Sheen and finish the wheels off with four good lungs full of back to black aerosol spray. Yesterday I was 50. Flip me, the past 33 years seem and feel have gone by in a flash. Cheers
The 214,000 mile Vogue white detail was my favourite video of yours. Until this. The finished article is a thing of beauty. Another cracking job, Jim. Well done 👍
My brother in law worked in the city of London back in the day and had one as a company car. He let me have it for a weekend (he had some great cars then, still does now he is retired!) Spent the weekend looking out the passenger window going round roundabouts! Great car and yours is a credit to you. Enjoy it whilst you still can. Bound to banned like most things we enjoy at some point.....
Having owned a few of these through the 90s, I absolutely loved this episode. Watching for a few years now and a lot of other channels. I have to say WD has to be the best in the UK. Incredibly work 👌.
What a video mate and what a job you did here. Absolutely amazing. I did knew the final result would be something unbelievable. I promise to buy you a coffee soon mate. Detailers like you do deserve that extra help because your content and teaching is priceless. Take care buddy. Best regards
One of your best ever. Transformation, Education, and Narrative. Great music too, I got in an hour on the recumbent bike at the gym while watching.Aloha from Maui
A fantastic job you have performed again Jim bringing life back into this old paint work. Looks a million times better than before you started on it. Keep up the fantastic work.
You are a hard working master of your craft. I’ve been following you for quite a while now, and you never disappoint. Keep up the hard work. Thank you so much for sharing.
I had one with 48k miles on it in 2005ish that I paid a LOT for, miss it some times but they are better to look at these days. I daily'd mine thru the summer months and stored it all winter. I got my enjoyment out it but it was a sweat inducing procedure to leave it parked anywhere. Only car I won a trophy with too, started me with detailing and many years later this channel so seeing you do one of these makes me nostalgic. And I'm only 37 lol
WOW Jim, just WOW! Up there with some of your best work! I really can not wait to get the 82 Mk 2 Scirocco to you at some point in the near future... I love the fact that you have tackled a modern classic with years of garage rash and old original paint. To bring her back to a showroom worthy finish... AWSOME work! Coffee bought and well deserved "White-details"
I remember a friend having an identical one of these on a D plate in 1992, they were expensive cars then, very desirable and if the car wasn’t stolen the wheels soon were, so also expensive to insure. It’s also interesting thinking back to non power assisted steering as you didn’t think anything of it at the time, that era of more modern appearing cars seemingly felt particularly light in any case and very responsive once on the move. I enjoyed your video as I have most of your awesome work, thanks and best wishes.
Absolutely incredible. Owning and trying to maintain a flat black car, I fully appreciate the effort that goes into that. I still haven’t mastered the refining to the point if eliminating the haze sometimes. Probably need more pads. Great video 👍
Jim, your work is amazing! This is one of the best transformations I have seen. You do wonderful work and your attention to detail is off the charts! Cheers.👍👍
Should be a million plus channel.
Master craftsman.
Thank you jim.
All of those channels are just clickbait trash where they clean soccer mom cars full of childrens shit stuck to the seats.
I personally find Detail Geek's work very satisfying as far as 'consumer-grade' detailing goes. Jim's work of polishing an exterior for multiple days is not very comparable to cleaning filthy beaters.
@@WaffleDragon me to, there is always room for trash garbage cars being cleaned and i love it but this is something else;)
This car can never be driven anymore! 😂 Just don‘t touch it anymore!
Jim, an incredible piece of art what you have done on this car! Absolutely incredible!!!

My dad owns an XR3 from 1981. Watching this detail was very sentimental. Im glad to see such a fine example being detailed by none other than Jim White.
Absolutely stunning finish. I think I could have sat on that chair staring at it for about a week ❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree lad👌fuckin stunning job.
Ahhh takes me back.... when a car’s driver aids were 3 pedals and a round thingy in front of the driver. Superb work as always
I had a mk2 RS turbo D reg in white brought back a lot of memories watching this,an absolutely outstanding detail job yet again.
A new upload from Jim is like celebrating Christmas 😂🎄. Wuhuuu!
Not only a master detailer but a master videographer too. High class workings, Jim.
Man, you are the absolute number one! Your work is as near as perfection that can be humanly done!
Cheers from the other side of the sea (Neuquén, Argentina)!
Incredible work, Jim. I can’t imagine your anxiety levels whilst polishing this 😂
I hope they look after it now 👊🏼
Mega Mega work!!! Everyone can understand the fantastic detailing on this car...however, only a few will truly know and appreciate the time and effort you must have put in with the camera work!

Amazing work Jim.... you kind of forget how small cars from the 80s really were....and how we played with single stage paint....
Thanks Jim
Had a black mk5 xr3i 19 years ago... good times
Jim. One of, if not , the best , jobs you have done given the age and delicacy of the paint. A true artisan. Brilliant
Couldn’t sleep last night and while surfing TH-cam I came across your channel and this video. Thanks Jim for putting this up. One of my favourite cars restored so well and you have a great way of presenting. Cheers
Really good to see a car from my youth being brought back to life. Stunning work Jim I can only imagine the frustration that it caused you but the results speak volumes.
That takes me back to the days right there. Damn, what a mighty backflash.
Now THIS is an amazing car! Congratulations to the owner for keeping it like this.
White Details: Correction, Reflection, Perfection. Top work Jim.
Wow, the proof that you are a true professional with a passion to provide a service that is second to none despite the difficulties.
A very detailed job that only an expert can accomplish. Jim, you are the best.
Thank you for posting !
taking on a job like that takes balls... you're becoming a master of the art of polish.
It looks like a museum piece.
Pure perfection
Amazing work, Jim. Would have loved to see an owner reaction on this one!
I haven’t watched this yet cause it’s just gone up publicly but an hour of WD is gonna be superb 🤌🏻
I'm happy to see you seem less worn down, and tired in this one sir. The work was as always top notch.
. . . and here we have the shiniest RS Turbo to ever exist. Amazing work and extremely satisfying to watch. 👌🏼🤩
Have to say, best detailer out there. Perfection!
Absolutely top notch Jim great work
Absolutely brilliant, the finish is Stunning, and I will be honest, at the beginning of this video, I did not think that you would of got rid of those underlying scratches within the paintwork...
But you did, and I take my hat off to you, unbelievable....
And I will also say that I throughly enjoyed watching this, thank you.....
Fantastic result on what, for me, was a bit of a nostalgia fest - XR3i back in the day! Top work, Jim.
White details is detailing at its pinnacle! This is levels.
This one is really unbelievable result. I have no word strong enough to describe how good your work is. I could watch your videos all day long.
Amazing work on this little classic, had a 79 RS 2000 in my day. Wish I had that today. Thanks Jim.
What a fantastic job done... incredible turn round... well done
Great to see a true master at work. What a result.
Great work. Very impressive.
To me, the best detailer on TH-cam, you’re great Jim
Fantastic detail and so much TLC for this rare beauty. What a stunner now. Really great work.
Wow ! Just .... Wow! The rougher they are, the better they look when it comes to the White Detail. So good to see another vlog and boy was this a looker! Thanks Jim !
This was my dream car 25 years ago lol. What truly amazing job you've done on it.. it was great to watch
I don't know what to say. You are the reference standard for all detailers. I have not seen anyone who gets close to you. Just bought you a coffee to show my appreciation.
Hi Jim I'm glad you carried on doing this after last year and you saying you fancied a change etc etc it's good to see you back and you're a master at your class.

Fantastic job, well done 👏
Brought back some memories this one with my dad owning an XR3i, absolutely incredible work Jim I was gobsmacked at the end result, top work 👍
My dad had an Escort xr3i in black with the red pinstripe unfortunately before I was born . My mother decided it would be fun to write it off and he got a rover 414i and an escort van when I was born 🤮
Great job Jim, lovely classic car
Gorgeous job, I know it's an old video however when I'm tired of music at the shop I play your videos
I’m sooo glad to see the front bumper got painted looks a million dollars Jim, top man, top job.
Never have I seen anyone with such attention to detail and nothing less than absolute perfection in their work. Outstanding.
Sir Jim you are a detailing wizard ! Until just recently I owned a Mercury grey version of the same car ! 20,000 mile 3 owner ! Thank you for bringing back so many happy memories 💖

Great Great Great. What else is there to say. Learning so much. Thank you for the opportunity to watch a master.
Jim, your patience is inspiring. The quality of work you produce is outstanding.
Such an incredible art. So very therapeutic to watch you do your thing
We all love an RS Turbo 🙌🏻
Matte black "...like polishing butter"
Best line ever!! 🤩
Brought back memories for me. I done over 200k in mine over 13 years and I loved every mile. Nice work Jim.
Wow, Jim. Just wow. Incredible turnaround. I usually think that cars should be driven, but stick this one in a corner and leave it there.
I watched this all the way through last night (best Saturday night tv I’ve seen in years!) and I’m still in awe at the incredible job you did on the Ford Jim. Blown away!!!
Best looking Escort I've ever seen. Great work as always Jim!
Had one of these in Gunmetal Grey in the early 90ies. Great trip down memory lane watching this, amazing result Jim 😎
Highest standard of detailing there is. incredible workmanship 👏🏼
Wow.. i just bought a 1987 Ford Escort 4 days ago. 1.6 liters and i finished polising it today!
Much prefer to see the old cars getting detailed and the level of skill involved is so much higher than on the more modern paint
Great work and thanks for filming it
Outstanding work Jim. I bet the customer was blown away.👍🔥
Amazing results. Said to myself I’d just skip to the end and see how it came out....but ended up watching the whole video!!!

Amazing result. I own a 89 Astra GTE 16v in black too. Just detailed and it looks amazing now.

I had to come see again the show off part of this vehicle... Stunning!!
