After trying different methods The one that really works on a budget is: 1.Rotary buffer not Dual action 2.Meguiars ultimate compound with yellow cutting sponge from harbor 3 Meguiars ultimate polish with black sponge from harbor Then any $25 ceramic coating(small glass bottle)
This all depends on the paint as all cars have different variations such as, thickness, how soft or hard the paint is etc.. That method on the paint above would have high risk of burning through and isn't needed to achieve good results. However with hard paint that would be a great combination to get the most defects out with a flawless finish. Thanks for watching! Mat
@@MatsDetailingNo it wouldn't! Don't try and make everyone think you (Have) to use a DA! I've been detailing for 25 years and all you need is experience with a rotary. A DA can burn through paint as well but a DA is too time consuming.
@@charlesrobinson6574I just bought the rupes 15 mark 3, I will be using that & a URO micro fiber pad + 3D one polish/compound combo, is this fine? Or do I need a rotary
Paint correction is a long drawn out process to do it correct. I spent 14 hours in my f250 AFTER the wash back when I first got it. But paint looked amazing.
Got a job this week. I compounded the crap out of a car and nothing came out. It came shiny and i showed one of the techs and he said thats as good as it gonna get. I want to know if compound, a DA and a rupes da wool pad can really take out scratches because i have never been able to do it. From a video it looks like it all came out but standing there under the light it looks like no difference but the obvious gloss. I havent worked enough places to actually see someone do it and the only time i ever get perfect paint is if i sanded it.
Oh my gosh I 100% agree with this I’ve done all different methods and compared to these videos they look like they get brand new paint from the factory. On the other hand, I get exceptional results but still very very minor scratches
I just started polishing almost a year ago and I have taken scratches out but I’m not getting all of them but that’s not my problem. Problem is I’m not getting that mirror reflection like I see in videos. My car a 2017 Lincoln mkz in black velvet. What I noticed tho was after I polished and held a light up to the paint I could see like blueish glitter/flake or whatever it called. So the polishing made me able to see that but only with my light from my phone up close. I wonder why I can’t bring that glitter out so you can see it in the sun from a distance ? I’m using expensive products that have great reviews. I used Koch chemie heavy compound on a lake country wool pad then I used griot’s all in one ceramic wax as a polish to finish with a griots orange foam pad. I wonder if the griots all in one ceramic wax is not good enough to use as a polish ? I thought it would be cause it’s a 1 step compound so it does everything in one so should be able to be used as a polish after I compound.
Looks great hey consider a rupes wool pad with the DA. Also really like the 3D product. Then finish with a finish pad. Saves time, just my thoughts. You did a great job
@azanmalik7387 quality microfibers do not leave swirls, re used ones with the incorrect dilution ratios can leave swirls. The rubbing of microfibers of paint isn't what causes swirls alone, it's the maintenance of the microfibers, the lubrication, pressure and technique of how you buff os residue too.
DA polisher and some basic meguires compound, then polish will do the truck. They have a some pretty awesome easy to use stuff. There are different abrasiveness levels for compounds, and different "cut" levels of pads. Its either super simple, or obnoxiously complex.
wash it really well. Target a section on the vehicle...don't be greedy and try to wash a whole car + polish/waxing. You will feel the pressure of "taking shortcut" if you do.
@Sinister_187 I'd recommend trying medium cut foam pads and then a fine polish pad. Use a Cut Compound, Medium Cut Foam Pad Then Use a Polish, Fine Polish Foam Pad. Each car is different and requires different treatments but is try this first.
@@stefanpetrov8 because the part that wasnt tapped on got enough clearcoat removed that there was a solid difference in height compared to the tapped side, had to sand block it to re equalise it lmao
@@Nowkoreto My dumbass used the wrong tape to line up a fake shark antenna on my white civic 2010. Tape tore off a chunk of paint off from the roof when I took it off LOOL. Meh, I dont care about the paint, im still working on other stuff and im not even to the bodywork yet, perfect match tafetta white fixed it like nothing happened hahahaha
How much do you charge for this service? I paid a guy to do it and he couldn't get a lot of swirls out he may have added some and the car just looks really shiny now. Is my car repairable?
I see a lot of people taping, is this just for the video? I’m trying to do my whole truck so I’m wondering if I just go to town in the whole thing without tape (obviously doing sections at a time.)
You only need to tape areas that have rubber inserts or mouldings as compound tend to stain these pieces. Main reason we used tape in this short was to only showcase a definite line for our before and after.
Yes, but you can avoid it by polishing it with a paint sealant every now and then, what causes swirls is unprotected paint, and running it through car washes for the most part
@Richardgg94 It's down to the installer. normally you would match Polish passes to the amount of cut passes to ensure no micro swirls from the prior step get missed. This paint however whilst working on it only required as demonstrated but adding another Polish pass wouldnt hurt as it just ensures even coverage and removal of any micro swirls induced
Fireball Reborn or CarPro Reload are premade IPA solutions we used, we now use a 70% ISO with distilled water ratio as we've found this provides a nicer clean.

Looks great! And it really made me realize how badly the screen on my phone is scratched!!😂😂
😂😂😂😂
polish it 😂
Can I??😭@@endritmustafa9584
Hilarious
Anyone saying to do this or that.. you’re wrong.
He did it the correct way. Just enough correction without taking to much away
That’s true, but sometimes it’s hard to blend out that hard line he made with the tape. Ask me how I know 😂
You are wrong. Several different ways to handle it to correct it better.

@@Rodrickrodneyits a great combo tbh, a rotary is better for deeper defects to be removed

Respected detailing so much after I tried this my self and realized how long it really takes
Paint correction is a long drawn out process to do it correct. I spent 14 hours in my f250 AFTER the wash back when I first got it. But paint looked amazing.
I just spent 4 hours removing swirl marks from a quarter of a bonnet of a toyota corolla
I cant wait to try this out hurray 😊
that turned out awesome
@@Aaron___daniel thanks!
@MatsDetailing what is your setup I'm just starting up my buisness and I would really appreciate the info!❤
I would've probably gone just a tad bit more aggressive. However, idk the paint quality or thickness so possibly the right move

Try using foam pads and also make sure you're not going too fast

Sponge pad is better than a wool pad in my experience
Did u clay bar the car firs to get contaminates off
What products did you use for 1st pass and 2 pass. And what pad. Looks good
We use the 3D Car Care range.
ACA 510 - Light Foam Pad
ACA 520 (Polish) - Light Foam Pad
Looks great hey consider a rupes wool pad with the DA. Also really like the 3D product. Then finish with a finish pad. Saves time, just my thoughts. You did a great job
I tried this and it’s white now where I did it, 😢 how can I fix it. I used meguires mirror shine with a 10in pad
What do you spray to clean it after? Alcohol?
more likely just a rinseless wash. it looked blue from the reflection
Kon sa product hai great man
What was the second polish compound did u use? i have to call it that it has fillers in it. Good job regardless.
@@1kontrabida Aca 520, no fillers.
Mmm glass. Nice work
What polisher r u using. DA or Rotary
What 2 part did you use!!! Great work
Please answer this , doesnt taking of the access after the process cause swirls too since you rub a rag on the paint to take it off
@azanmalik7387 quality microfibers do not leave swirls, re used ones with the incorrect dilution ratios can leave swirls.
The rubbing of microfibers of paint isn't what causes swirls alone, it's the maintenance of the microfibers, the lubrication, pressure and technique of how you buff os residue too.
@ thanks you so much ,is there any microfibers you recommend to avoid swirls ?
What were your products like polish and steps to it?
Is that a spyder heavy polishing pad from 3D?
Do you have a list of all of the products you used?
Would be nice to know the steps and the stuffs you used😮 keep up the amazing job!

Basic
Get the paint clean
Then buff it out
Try denim pads

What compounds where used here mate,
@@greenie_the_detailer2499 3D Range
Aca 510 & 520
What product should I use I need this for g37x plz help I have the buffer just dont kno what pads
@Sinister_187 I'd recommend trying medium cut foam pads and then a fine polish pad.
Use a Cut Compound, Medium Cut Foam Pad
Then
Use a Polish, Fine Polish Foam Pad.
Each car is different and requires different treatments but is try this first.
Como se llama el spray que aplicas al final?
Gotta be careful when doing tape comparaison, i once did that and it left a permanent line in the clear right at the tape when i removed it
How's that possible? Just go over the tape line with a compound

You only need to tape areas that have rubber inserts or mouldings as compound tend to stain these pieces.
Main reason we used tape in this short was to only showcase a definite line for our before and after.
do you wipe it down with a wet towel?
Isopropyl alcohol wipe
What products you use please
In this video we used 3D's 510 aca compound and their refinishing polish.
With their soft cut/polish pad
What spray did you use at the end?
Isopropyl Alcohol, Carpro Eraser.
It cleans off any wax/oil residues that may have been left behind to show a true finish.
will the swirls come back??
Yes, but you can avoid it by polishing it with a paint sealant every now and then, what causes swirls is unprotected paint, and running it through car washes for the most part
@@habebs7345 no they wont. They are fixed. Polishing at this level mostly just removes the haze effect from more abrasive compounds.
Good job..one more pass with polish tho
Would it really make that good of a difference? (Genuine question not being a smart ass)
@@Richardgg94does for me
@Richardgg94 It's down to the installer. normally you would match Polish passes to the amount of cut passes to ensure no micro swirls from the prior step get missed.

@@MatsDetailing thanks brotha
Looks great. What polish and what was that final spray?
3D Polish and IPA to remove any residue for a true finish.
By IPA, do you mean isopropyl alcohol?
@@austinbyers1526 Correct, we use a made IPA called Fireball Reborn
Is this the ACA 520 or the hybrid “One” by 3D you are using?
Or both?
Klasse ❤❤❤❤❤
What kind of light you using
One from our Local Depo, any quality LED light should suffice.
Kaun sa wax hai
What did you spray on at the end ?
IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) idk if it’s 70% or 90% though
Fireball Reborn or CarPro Reload are premade IPA solutions we used, we now use a 70% ISO with distilled water ratio as we've found this provides a nicer clean.
So do i apply this after polishing and waxing
@@shahibmiah2347whenever u wanna clean the area after polishing
Need to work it in properly the first time bro, work the compound until it’s a brand new panel
There are one steps and 2 steps. This looks like a 2 step !
Slinging product might want to use alil less to avoid having it ruin plastics and rubber gaskets. But nice work.
