I gained so much confidence after polishing for the first time, I treat my car like there is nothing to loose plus it’s super hard paint so for the beginners once you first start polishing your fears will fade
Beautiful Job on the car!! I have a Dewalt 849X that had around an hour use on it. I was going to sell it because I was afraid to use it. The first and only time I used it, the buffer did a really nice job on the older car that I had but I was still afraid to use it on my newer car or any jobs for customers. After watching your video on the Mini Cooper where you used the rotary, I decided to give the buffer another try on an old van that a neighbor has that's going to the junk yard. I was amazed at how easily it took care of scratches on the panel. Way faster than my DA polisher. I ordered some more pads for the Dewalt that same night so I can experiment some more. Thanks to you, I'm going to keep the Dewalt and am glad that I didn't sell it. Thanks for this awesome video!
Good kid because of good parenting. Mr. Brian I think the description was misspelled as Sucess instead of using the correct word Success. Beautiful Mustang Junior has. Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
@@apexdetail85 Clearly, your work ethics, responsibility, love and good example set a path for him to follow. That's what my parents did for me and my brothers and that's what I do with my 4 sons (24, 22, 17 and 9). Mr. Brian remember someone had a book for good parenting but someone wanted to kid with us and hid it, that's what I tell my sons😉. All we can do is be the best example and try to guide them so in the future they are able to think and take the best decisions for themselves.
Another fine rotary clinic Brian! Thank you as I recently bought a Flex and have been forcing myself to get confident with it. Took a page out of your book and always paint gauge my work before and after! 👊😉
Brian be sure to save these videos, and yes the one where Jr. taped up your head, they will be great memories in about 20 years when you, Jr., and your grand child are polishing his/her, electric Mustang with an after market Flux Capacitor mod..
killer video on jrs mustang. came out amazing. good thing u only have 1 kid.lol.med clear?finally got power back last night. long hot brutal 6.5 days.stay safe good friend 🍻🍻🍻🍻
You touched my weakest spot. Black Mustang is it for me since the day that they were unveiled at my Ford dealership in 1964. Great video as always Brian. 👍👊☮️
Keith Olsen Absolutely agree. I owned a ‘65 in 1970. I had a head on accident one night when a guy swung out too far from a cross street and nailed my left front. While the cops, ambulances and fire trucks were there I was telling myself “I can fix this”, and was already making plans to do that. All of a sudden we heard a car coming from a half mile away and he was banging through those gears. We all realized at once that he was not going to stop and we all ran in different directions. His El Camino slammed the rear of my fastback at probably 70 or 80 mph (speed limit 35). He was too drunk to notice all of the flashing lights and my car was now about 8 feet long from bumper to bumper. 😢
@@rumrunner1756 oh man, talk about getting kicked while you're down.. did he even have insurance? They usually never do.. My dad, (born in '59) has told me about some of the cars he would see around his little town all the time in that era that were just looked at as inexpensive average used cars.. Boss Mustangs, even a couple Shelbys and Superbirds, SS Camaros, Yenkos, etc., etc.. Countless badass six figure cars today that even high school kids had and drove into the ground, totaled, etc.. Pretty wild. I think it was around '73 he said that the horsepower started plummeting?
Keith Olsen I am even older than your dad (1952), but he is pretty much correct. These cars were not hard to come by and were cheap. I paid $500 for my 5 year old ‘65 fastback. Next car was a ‘63 1/2 Galaxie XL 390 4 speed for $650, bought with insurance money from my fastback. The first guy’s insurance paid me because he totaled it first (per accident report, not my opinion). I never had to deal with El Camino guy’s insurance. Gas shortage, insurance costs and government mandated safety requirements pretty much killed the hp game by ‘73.
@@rumrunner1756 wow, the drunk idiot sure got lucky, especially because he didn't kill anyone. If you haven't seen it, check out the documentary called A Faster Horse. It covers the development of a new generation Mustang and has a lot of cool history on them in general. It's on Netflix. ruclips.net/video/rWPjtIQOU84/видео.html
Very enjoyable video and review. It's great you have the opportunity to spend a Sunday sharing your passion with your son, it's the occasional things like this that you share that really make your channel great. I assume the Shop Foreman was having some kibble and doing paper work. I always like when you explain the differences and similarities to other products. Will you be giving the 3D finishing polishes a look 520 ACA and 502 AAT, as they compare to Sonax Perfect Finish. I liked the detail you delivered when said 3D 500 ACA finished better than Sonax Max Cut, I was surprised to hear that.
Nice little team effort on your sons car! Looks fantastic! Would you recommend a rotary on a black C7 Corvette? I could not quite get the heavy swirls out with the Rupes orange pad and CutMax. I had better luck with Meguires m105 but it was still tough.
Going to buy this for my Silverado rally. My matte black stripes are looking a bit rough, I’ve used wax and dressing but it only lasts for a few weeks. What would you recommend I try to restore those matte vinyl stripes?
I was under the impression black paint always had soft clear, but I guess not? I dont know how i got to that impression since the color layer has nothing to do with the type of clear used :D Nice car Jr!
nice like to see a video (list/chart) where you suggest the best pad and compound/polish combinations for various paint (hard/med/soft) using different machine polishers (rotary/forced rotation and d.a)
Straight wool usually cuts harder, but hazes and leaves holograms. That purple pad cuts great and can finish a lot better. Get that pad and try on a DA if you don’t have a rotary. Works great.
Right? Note what's in the title of Brian's newest video of the little blower review.. "Let's find out." .. the plot thickens.. Though if you watch Todd's attempts at polishing paint, it kills the joke.. I'd never seen that much splatter thrown around.. his "pea size drops" are more like golf balls.. 😁
Hi, which 3d aca are you referring to as I'd like to try it. Theres 3d aca 500 xtra cut compound and another one called 3d aca 510? Also I clicked on the link for the wool pad and many different ones came up, is it the lake country low lint or twisted wool or a different one? Thanks
What is your favorite 3" rotary? I am in the market for a 3" rotary for small and tight area. Something that can swap between 1-3" backing plate. Looking at either the Maxshine M550 or a flex compact. Any comments? Thanks!
just picked up the gt version of this mustang. What would be the da version of the rotary? microfiber pad? Compound and polish? lastly is the paint soft or hard? For reference since i will be doing a crazy level full detail on my 2014 mustang gt. Like two weeks worth. So this came at the best time for me thanks and keep up the great content.
jesus Vazquez a 21mm throw and microfiber cut pad would work. Hard. Good luck with the restoration. Join our Facebook group ( Apex Detail Support Group) and post pictures.😁👍
Apex Detail thank you I’ll try to do so but I’m not the best with camera work while polishing I’ll try to post the finish product. Keep up the great content
Is there an advance to the rotary polisher over DA? I probably need to go to the junkyard and try to pick up a black mustang hood to practice on. (Newbie)
John Blake The rotary polisher will cut more and faster, but you have to be careful not to burn the paint, as Brian would say.... practice practice the rotary will be your best friend lol. I only ask about the DA cause that’s all I have right now.
Mrjozz011 DA is all I have. Have enough problems with the 6” pad not fitting smaller areas on my Mustang. Truck deck had concave curve and the spoiler. Hood has all kinds of angles. I need a junkyard panel for practicing. Ugh.
Apex Detail wow it looks so much bigger on the video. What are your thoughts on the QP-ON pro series? Can you put there new Pro formulas through the torture tests? Especially there new pro 2.0 and there cutting compounds? Thanks
How many hours would a job like this take? In this case, your son was following you with the polishing right after you, so it made it faster. So how many hours in that case?
Great job, just wondering how long it took both of you guys To get the job done, looks like 3,5 hours 😉 Any plans for polishing the glass on the Mustang ?
Lol @ 3.5 hours.... WAY more than that bud to clean, decon, tape, 2 step correction, clean out all the edges and coat it... plus all the other dressings and coatings I’m sure they did....
Just going through some older videos I missed. Has anyone seen the Cutmax 6/4? I did a quick Google search to grab a bottle of the standard Cutmax which is 6/3, and on Amazon, there is a Cutmax 6/4. What the heck is that? It's not even on Sonax's website. Anybody seen that? Did they change the formulation or add a product without telling anyone? No but seriously, what in the world is Cutmax 6/4?
6/4 refers to the rating on their own scale of 0 to 6:least to most. First number is aggressiveness of cut, so a 6 would be the maximum cut ergo "cut max." Second number is for finish/polish and the cutmax rates a four which is a decent finish. Frankly, it's marketing, but does lessen the confusion for some. I've used cutmax with wool, hybrid wool and foam pads. For more correction I like the cutmax on an LC purple foamed wool pad and for a better finish I'll use a LC ccs orange pad. Followed up with a LC ccs white pad and perfect finish for added clarity and gloss.
i really dont get people buying a brand new car and treating the paint like that. the previous owner looks like he was washing with a dish soap and a scrap pad.
Unfortunately Junior doesn't have his dad's good taste when it comes to vehicles. 😅 Please tell me he bought that thing to flip and make some money on.
You two did a awesome job ✊Nice to work with your son and see him learn and get knowledgeable.Thanks Brian and Junior ✊
Great job gentlemen! A beautiful stang. So refreshing to see a father and son team working so well together. A true testament of excellent parenting!

You made a really dazzling car. I'm doing the details in Korea. Your video is helping a lot. I ask for good videos from now on.
Its ALWAYS GOOD to have a competent helper. It makes working funer

What is that thick backing plate you use on your rotary?
What backing plate you have in that polisher? 4” or 5”?
nice like to see a video (list/chart) where you suggest the best pad and compound/polish combinations for various paint (hard/med/soft) using different machine polishers (rotary/forced rotation and d.a)
Whats the difference in cut between the pad you are using and the low lint wool psd?
Straight wool usually cuts harder, but hazes and leaves holograms. That purple pad cuts great and can finish a lot better. Get that pad and try on a DA if you don’t have a rotary. Works great.
Great 👍🏻 job & v good protection choice
Good luck enjoy JR .
