Working
With
Sung Kang

His car. Their hands. We documented the full restoration from weathered to immaculate and captured what that means to the people who care about it most.

Most detailing content shows the finish. This project was about everything that happens before it: the hours, the care, and what it means to hand a car back to someone who genuinely loves it.

Sung Kang is known to the world as Han from Fast & Furious. But to the car community, he's something more grounded than that: a genuine enthusiast with a real relationship to the machines he owns. When Chicago Auto Pros got his car in for a full detail restoration, we were there to document it. Not as a promo. As a record of the work.

The car had seen better days. The kind of wear that builds up over time, not from neglect exactly, but from use. From being a real car that a real person drives. Chicago Auto Pros treat every car like it matters. With this one, they knew why it mattered, and that came through in every step of the process.

We documented the full arc of the detail: the assessment, the process, the moments where skill meets patience. The team working methodically through paint correction, interior restoration, the kind of finishing work that most people never see because it happens before the reveal. We made sure the work was visible.

What Sung Kang brought to this wasn't celebrity. It was context. Watching someone who understands cars receive that level of care and respond to it the way he did gave the whole piece a weight that you can't manufacture. It was his car, brought back to life, by people who knew exactly what they were doing.

That's the story Chicago Auto Pros has been telling for years. This was just one of the most memorable versions of it.

01
Full-Day On-Location Production

We were on site for the entire detail, start to finish. Shot lists planned around the process, not the other way around. Every phase of the restoration documented as it happened.

02
Process Documentation

The detail itself was the story. Paint correction, interior work, the finishing touches. We captured the craft in a way that shows what this level of care actually looks like up close.

03
Long-Form Edit & Post

Cut to let the work speak. Pacing built around the restoration arc: the before, the process, the reveal. Music and structure that match the weight of the project.
