      Typically for black plastics that are faded you are going to want to restore those with a solution dye. If not use Shine Supply Trim Sauce to give it temporary shine.
      Headlight Restoration is tricky and should be done by a professional. Typically gets multiple steps of sanding before polish to get a clear finish.
      For Chrome I personally use Aluminum Restoration I believe it’s called. It’s typically an acid that you have to heavily dilute with water but the results of scrubbing within a few seconds is phenomenal.
      For glass cleaner I prefer 3D’s new line of Cermaic Glass Cleaner. Use 1 rag to clean the glass and another to buff out the streaks.
      There’s my professional detail advice for you :)

  • @RD-io6sm
    @RD-io6sm 6 месяцев назад +5

    Okay Donut. I really appreciate the effort you put in to share some of the ins and outs of detailing. That being said, as a professional I found some issues with this video.
    1. Clay bar isn't actually clay. From what I understand it's synthetic but just going by that definition doesn't make it the same as other "clay bars". Clay BARS are abrasive. They can mar the paint but they're good at lifting deeply embedded contaminants. Clay mitts and towels are generally considered non abrasive given proper lubrication. DIY Detail takes pride in there perforated clay towel because it holds more lubrication and has passage ways for contaminates to lift away from the paint.
    2. In my opinion, the 2 bucket method is outdated and inefficient. It's much more effective to have multiple wash media in a single bucket whether its wash mitts or wash towels. Discard them into an empty bucket so you're always starting with a perfectly clean mitt or towel. Clean them in your downtime.
    3. 13:27. This is actually what gave me the motivation to stop watching the video on the couch and start writing this comment. I've spent so much of my time learning from my mistakes and from others when it comes to paint correction. Heat is not your friend. You DO NOT heat up the paint to cut faster. You're jeopardizing the integrity of the clear coat with excessive heat making it swell and drying out your compound/polishing cream faster.
    If you need to cut fast, use a compound with a microfiber cutting pad. Use enough compound to lubricate the pad, but don't overly saturate it. A clean pad will always cut faster than a dirty residue loaded pad. A pad washer is a game changer. If this is STILL not enough, then you need to wet sand. At this point you really need to know what you're doing.
    If you're just coming up into paint correction, it's really easy to get into the mindset of pulling out all the big guns and beating the paint into submission. Keep in mind, you're working on one of the most expensive pieces of the car and the clear coat is finite. The goal is to get good results while preserving as much as you possibly can.

A 16 oz bottle of Seal n' Shine is $11 and is guaranteed to get me at least 6 months of protection. 16 FL OZ is a lot of product, so you can use it on multiple cars or just cap it up and use it a few months down the line. :)

      @dustinbrueggemann1875 6 месяцев назад +25

      I always buy middle-shelf when I don't know exactly what I'm getting myself into, because it's usually most likely to just work out of the box. The top of the line stuff is usually unforgiving of mistakes and takes a lot of setup, and the cheap stuff is just untrustworthy. Mid-tier doesn't usually have the bells and whistles to worry about, but it's still made well enough that you know it shouldn't break in normal use.

    • @tanmayta9131
      @tanmayta9131 6 месяцев назад +5

      I would agree that as a rule of thumb, you can expect a mid-range product to work pretty well and offer some bang for the buck, but we should also place more emphasis on product selection within the price point. I don't know how long that $10 ceramic coating will last, but I don't expect it to last very long. However, a 16 oz bottle of Turtle Wax ICE Seal n' Shine will cost you $11 and is guaranteed to give you at least 6 months of protection. One bottle has enough product to use on several cars, or you can just tightly close the bottle and store it in a warm, dry place to use 6 months down the line when you reapply the product. :)

    As a detailer, a lot of those cheaper products can still get the job done to similar levels of the expensive stuff. That's where the detailers skill comes into place and what you're ultimately paying for.
    Anyone can pick up a pad and polisher, but not everyone can get a 90% correction using the same tools. Also in the detailing industry, more expensive usually means less hassle but a lot of people tend to think more expensive = better product. It's all in the technique.

      Meh, no, anyone with a few years experience can achieve similar results if they use as many steps, as long as they don't over-do any step. I suppose that's a little bit where experience comes in, and going slower, just as anyone doing anything to an automobile, ought to work slower if they want the same results that a pro can do faster.
      Remember, most of what was shown in the video was just a waste of time. It had bare spots where the clear coat was gone, so none of that really mattered, whole thing needed wet sanded and clearcoated before anything they did.

      Not at all similar for clay bars. The consistency is fairly regular even on a cheap one, but what it is made of to reach that uniform consistency can vary. However the clay bar portion wasn't much different to begin with, might even be attributed to the muck flying up onto the right side of the hood more just as it affected the right/passenger wheel more, because that's the direction of runoff on roads, the ride side of the lane is dirtier than the left.

    Just a quick tip 😅
    Clay bars are more aggressive but also more likely to mar the paint.
    Whereas a synthetic clay mit is considerably less likely to mar and need a polish but the catch is that it's not as aggressive.
    Also you can chemically decontaminate prior to physical decon.
    My 2 cents nobody asks for 😂

      And I wonder, how the ceramic products would work, if they used the same clay and polishing method, because this was not the comparison between the 2 ceramic coatings, but it's a high and low comparison . I think the difference is that the low budget product is starting with a strong handicap. But good to see that the difference on an old car is not that big, and you can really DIY.

    As a proffesional detailer myself, the only thing that more exspensive cleaning products grant you is time on the exterior. Now as for the interior it is overall better to use exspensive for the inside, alot of APCs will stain plastics and seats so dillute appropriatley. Dont use armorall on the interior. Always use clean pads/microfober mits and compressed air is always your friend on the interior!

      So called detailers who say not to use Armor All only say that to try to fit in with the so called cool crowd. In reality there’s nothing wrong with Armor All products.

      Not saying you should go out there and buy several hundreds worth of Gyeon, Koch Chemie, and Adam’s products. But brands like Meguiars, Griots, and Turtle Wax have gone a long way in making their products competitive with the pros.

    • @Samuelfish2k
      @Samuelfish2k 6 месяцев назад

      @@deltahorizon26 The only and seriously the only thing negative about Armor All products is that they’re sold in consumer sized bottles. As far as the product inside the bottles, there’s little to no difference between Armor All and whatever brand people regard as “better”
      For example: Armor All Tire Gel is a water based dressing. That product has been around since at least 1997. I know for a fact because I used to use that tire gel on my 1st car.
      And for all the crappy solvent based tire shines that have come along since, what does the smart professional detailer use? A water based tire dressing, right? Well guess what, Armor All Tire Gel has been exactly that since at least 1997 and many years before, yet everyone loves to talk shit about “Armor All” as if it’s slimy silicone crap product when the truth is they’ve been selling the right kind of tire gel while every other brand has offered garbage tire shines. They’ve offered that same solid product and it’s still sold today 30+ years later.
      Where tf was Gyeon & Carpro and all these other brands 30 years ago? They hadn’t even started trying to copy Armor All’s products yet.
      Armor All makes more money per year on just their protectant than Carpro makes on ALL their entire product line. You think Armor All doesn’t have some of the best chemists working for them?
      Some of the popular belief is completely wrong.
      Btw I’ve been a professional detailer for the past 10yrs. I’ve got my shelves full of Meguiars gallons etc. lots of products from all the brands. But as far as calling Armor All crap? I’m not saying they’re the best or anything, but there’s far worse products and some of their stuff has been innovative and impressive over the years.

    I'm sorry, but the level of scientific inquiry is really low with these comparisons. They have been for years (with a couple of exceptions). You actually said, "The free-ish two bucket method and the $5,000 power washer system have the same results, but obviously we're giving it to the $5,000 washer." Ummm...if you're only talking about quality of the product itself....then sure. It will be the better, more expensive product every time. In that case, what are you testing? Are you suggesting I should get the $5,000 pressure washer for my home because it's cooler despite the results being negligible per your own testing?
    It's just a bit frustrating since this could be a lot better with minimal effort. I mean, the whole premise of having two compounding variables doesn't really make sense either. You paired professionals with bad products and novices with good products. Neither of those scenarios typically exist in the wild. I again ask "What are you testing? What's the point of the video?" Just find a variable and test it. Get a professional to try both products and tell us what he/she thinks. Done. That would be much more useful. "I think with towels, you can go with something cheaper because....". That's more useful than "You should be a $5,000 pressure washer for your home because it makes things a bit easier."

    For 99% of people Turtle wax hybrid solutions, Griots 3in1, meguiars etc is all you need to add a strong yet extremely cheap 6 month to a year ceramic coating to your car. All you need is two buckets, a packet of microfiber towels from Costco, car soap, iron remover, ceramic spray, interior cleaner, and most importantly elbow grease. If you have a new car or a car that still has good paint stay away from automatic or diy car washes, the brushes will absolutely swirl and scratch your paint.
