Damian, for Final Inspection, has been capturing images since 1997 and producing videos since 2002, mostly for sharing between other professional detailers and some Final Inspection customers on various forums including the now defunct Detail Addiction, which has been transferred to Facebook as a group. He began uploading content to YouTube in 2005.
Initially Damian created very raw, very low quality, very poorly produced, but very popular still images and video usually captured on his mobile device which in 2005 wasn't great, even by 2005's standards!
Today Damian is still making sure Final Inspection has plenty of quality content for customers. This thread is a hub for all the content, organised so it's easy to find.
This is our home for still images of our detailing work. We endeavour to have a few galleries of different types of images. Of the 4TB (!) of still images we've collected since 1997 (not including analogue era film that's yet to be digitised), this collection is 1000 of the most recent images organised by vehicle, enjoy.
We had lots of fun creating FNL episodes and would like to thank Dom, co-host for a few episodes and Maurizio who voluntarily provided his efforts on and off camera for about ten episodes.
FNL began in 2014 as live Facebook posts, we eventually massaged FNL into a highly produced pre-recorded series for 2018, each episode very obviously growing into more and more thorough productions.
Please note that FNL is produced for a mature audience with some cheeky words and references peppered throughout every episode in the series.
Our favourite episode was the tiny 'original' Mini and the epic story that came with it courtesy of Jarrod, which almost had us a little teary. Many thanks to Krystian for co-hosting.
We've been churning out quality instructional videos for over a decade and we keep adding and replacing them with updates.
Everything from how to's on cleaning wheels to feeding leather, polishing watermarks out of glass -it's all been covered and constantly updated in ever increasing quality in the 'Instructionals' playlist.
Also randomly, Final Inspection customers would opt for full video documentation of our services on their rides, some of those videos are made public and can be very interesting, they are available in the Detailing playlist. They are often short and sweet, highly condensed and show lots of the technicalities Damian and team use to achieve the finish, something they are longer, highly produced and heavily edited.
Videos of interest to you may be this Ferrari F40 Concours Detail, highly detailing video covering almost all of the process in our flagship service.
Or this XR8 detail where we enjoyed a night out with the customer after collection of what was then thought as the last Falcon to leave teh now defunct Ford Australia factory who Final Inspection were in negotiations with months before closure.
