Great video but me personally I can't stand to watch that long. ADD haha.

Perfect example - Gary Dean's videos. Guy does amazing vids and has a ton of great content but I would shorten that up to about 2:30ish or so. Not necessary for this one but take what you have, summarize it even more and roll it. Again, that's my take but what you have now is great! The only other thing I would add is a description of what you're doing for those who don't know exactly what is taking place. Just a thought.
 
Pretty good video. To me it doesn't necessarily need to be shorten, but cleaned up. Defiantly work on some smoother camera work. Also work on some smoother transitions. Like that star pattern from scene to scene kind of cheesey. All in all not bad, also car looked pretty good.

ex. search for videos from polished bliss, they have 3 great ones on a gallardo, a 355, and a enzo. You'll get some nice tips from them.

I agree its too long for me to watch, and I made it. LOL
 
Yeah I make a lot of videos and guess what?

Average retention duration is two minutes. See if you can get it that short.

I signed up the other day to start collecting knowledge to take care of my cars better. I just went to Garys youtube to watch and learn. His results seem pretty great but I have yet to see one that is less about him talking to the camera and more about him doing the work. Most of his are pretty long too.

It was really good, I had no problem watching the entire video. Probably because I was checking out that bad ass detail shop. How many different bulk products do you have delivered through the hoses? What editing software did you use also?

We have 6 different products going though. (wheel brighter, Degreaser, window cleaner, solvent APC, 3:1 hyper dressing, and water based tire shine)

I used Microsoft Movie Maker
 
I'd vote to shorten it up it was dragging for me by the end and those are the money shots. I also agree about smoother camera work. Lots of tight work shots where I felt the average viewer would not know whats going on. I think it's ok to narrate vs music. Try to keep it 3 min or less.

Nice work, awesome shop.
