We skipped over one step corrections...but will come back to it. I have a fun video planned for that topic. Cheers!
Look forward to it!!
Brian, do you find on repaired areas who wind up with more clear to work with or less?
Most of the time... it is more than the factory lays down.
Hope you see and really think about that other message I left you! I’m 100% serious and open ears ready to learn some things from a veteran! Much love Andrew!
Thank you.... my car has been sitting neglected cause I tried to do this by hand... swirled it up top to bottom... don't ask... finally somebody that doesn't kill you with unnecessary stuff that only adds to the confusion for us DIY guys...btw I have a 2015 challenger gloss black...I will be at it soon as I get my da... thnxs again.. subscribed
B great freaking video brother. You and Scott have helped me out so much in my business. I couldn't ask for any better Detail idols than you gentlemen.
Tha,Thank you Brian for the detailed DIY instructions. I'll be doing my 007 Lexus IS350 this weekend!!
You are a fantastic teacher B!
Awe SShucks!!!😂
You are a true master of Your craft! So precise, patient, schooled! I study this channel! Thanks for sharing these educational videos with us. You deserve 600+ thousand followers!
Hi Brian I’m practicing detailing here in England , I must say your my best man that I follow for detailing , old school , very clear and very good , the best , well done , keep the videos coming.
Man that's a lot of real estate for 2 steps and a coating! I liked how you emphasized the need to keep the most clear, as you often do. That truck looked beautiful. Another really great video. I always come out of view them with some more good instruction.
So the process for a paint correction is try a test area with the softest polishing foampad and check if that gets the desired result? if not try a heavier cut foampad on a different area, check result again (change along compound/polish with more cutting performance offcourse) so on till you get the desired result? Then do the whole car using what worked? is that the way to go generally? doesnt this cause uneven sections in paint thickness?
Also my cars paint is still in really good shape except 3 or 4 spots with some minor scratches (in the clear coat), so i assume i compound just THOSE spots and then polish the WHOLE car before applying protection? or would you say still compound the whole car to keep the clear coat even over the car?
Really enjoyed the video!! tnx
Question, when doing a 2-step, do you complete the entire vehicle first and then go over it with a finishing polish? Or do you complete each panel doing 2-step before moving on to the next panel?
When it gets to the finishing step.. I do that all at once.
You explain it perfectly and simple and answer all my questions in on video good stuff best video than others👍🏽
Idk if you and Scott do it on purpose but I find it hilarious.... But both your channels are great. Thanks for the hard work and great videos.
Not planned...but if it helps you guys...mission accomplished !🙂
@@apexdetail85 great minds think alike!
Great job Brian
Thank you good sir! You as well!
Hi Brian your my favourite by far very clear , oldskool and very good at your work , keep the videos coming bro
Hi Brian,
Please, could you tell me the average time does 2 step correction required?
I have started offering some paint enhancements/corrections and coating, but some people are criticize me about the time I take to finish the job. 2 step correction takes me about two days and a half including paint decontamination. Is it to much? Please I need your kind advice.
This was a very good video to watch I learned a lot. I have a 370Z Nismo with really soft paint and clear. This video showed me how to approach the softer clear by trying to use less aggressive products and pads. Thanks
Thank you for such great videos. I appreciate your experience and knowledge that you’ve decide to share. Great tips, and very useful.
Confused me abit. Did you finish with Sonax pf or Anglewax?
Very nice, you knocked that one out of the park.
@Apex Thanks for your videos! I accidentally sanded a rock chip too much while trying to fix it. Now I have a penny sized hole down to the primer (white), surrounded by a 2 inch base coat area, surrounded by a 5 inch sanded clear-coat area. This is on my bonnet. What is the recommended course of action (can it be done with a touch-up pen of base-coat and another of clear)? Much appreciate your expert opinion.
Ha it looks like you and Scott came to an agreement on showing the same topic for today. Great video as always Brian.
A coincidence ...But hope our videos help a bit.🙂
Mario Chavez brilliant minds think alike!
I have a black 2013 Ford Taurus limited with 160k miles on it. Don't know the history of the paint. It hasn't been painted or corrected since I've owned it with 90k miles on it. I plan on using it for my first paint correction. I'm going to use the rupes system with the yellow blue and white foam pads to keep it simple to prevent any irreversible mistakes. I did purchase a few yellow wool pads just in case it's a little more stubborn. The paint has ALOT of swirls and some deep scratches that I'm going to try my best to minimize. Any tips before I give it a try would be appreciated.
Your videos keep getting better and better!
Great work and great end result! 👍
At this point.. I am getting plenty of practice.👍🏻
couldnt you use use the sonax perfect finish as the polish? It seemed to outperform the angel wax by miles. Also with the compound couldnt you just stick to megs d300 and perfect finish and just mess around with the pads to achieve the same results?
Your narrative, examples and techniques are giving me the knowledge and confidence I needed to start polishing cars. Without your incredible classes which delivers real depth and also anticipates our questions with complete and insightful answers. It's like sitting at the feet of the master and I am very appreciative to watch, listen and learn. Thank you Brian.
PS which foam pad (mint green) was used with the Optimum?
Did you say at the end that you only do a 2 step if your applying a ceramic coating?
Hi Brian, is a paint gauge of any value when dealing with a car with a "clear coat"? Or is a paint gauge most useful when dealing with a "single-stage" paint surface? Thanks.
Were those water spots? I dealt with some before on my personal truck and I had to Were sand them. Great job on this truck!
WOW nice video and explanation. Once again thank you !
Hope the vids help a bit.🙂
they sure do help a lot. Just what I have learned about pads is amazing
Brian thank you again so much for all of your tutelage! I’m about ready to start correcting my 2008 Chevy Silverado Duramax 2500. Is that green pad lake country?
after compound and polish, do you wipe down the car with isoporopl before applying a wax or coating?
What’s the average charge for a mid size sedan(Hyundai Sonata) to be compounded and polished, not sealed or waxed I like doing that on my own? I can wash, clay and decon, I just can’t polish for lack of a machine and most places won’t JUST compound and polish it, they need to re wash re clay etc..,
Brian, how about some soft paint, ie Honda. Best selling car in America, would be bennifical to alot of Honda owners.
Depending on the level of damage... start with Sonax Perfect Finish and a firm polish pad.....step up if necessary.
From what I gathered, very confusing as each panel or area of the car had different pads and compounds. What combo worked for the whole car? And why show what steps were taken on a hood that wasn’t on the actual Colorado? When I want to paint correct a car, I want to know a process for the whole car, not different processes on different sections.
Do I need to use iron and tar remover before I polish? Or can i just use a clay bar? Also is there anything special soap to use for this?
Use Iron & Tar remover before you Clay Bar. Depends on condition of paint what steps to do.
I’m scared of burning edges. Is this soemthing I need to worry about with a DA? How do I attack an edge ?
Another great tutorial Brian, my question is, if you could only have 1 compound, 1 polish, and 1 finishing polish plus pads in your arsenal what would they be.
Thanks
Rob UK
Sonax cut max, Polish Angel master polish, Angelwax Perfect polish. Lake Country wool.🙂
What would be your chosen choice for finishing pads
Why do you use sonax perfect finish instead of the sonax compound followed by the perfect finish? Then you use Angelwax polish to finish the whole truck? Why not use sonax perfect finish the whole time?
Brian you and Scott from Dallas paint correction should do a video together on how y'all started in the detailing profession.
HELP PLEASE
So I recently switched from my rotary DeWalt to rupes 15 inch with 6 " pad
Dual polisher
Watched bunch of videos and techniques
Using blue and yellow rupes pad and blue compound and yellow polished.
Took time with one panel .
Washed , claybar , sanded gently with 3000
Did step one and two , slow motion , overlap the whole 9 yards
And it looked absolutely stunning .....BUT
3 days later I saw it on the sun and 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Scratches ( spider ) everywhere, color next to the door I didn't do was too dull as if I am looking through the fog ....
I am open to any suggestions and pointers .
Understand it is hard without seeing me working it but I figure I would ask anyway .
Thank you
Thank you for sharing rich experience/education!
My pleasure!!
I wish these polishers had a side handle like the rotary's. Reaching over to grab the polisher by body looks uncomfortable and blocks the view of the panel.
I know you did a breakdown of the maxshine but how do you like using it? Is it adequate?
Great work my brother!
Thank You for another amazing video. Very educational. I have learned alot from you.
That is all I could hope for.🙂
If you ever retire...you would make a great trainer/instructor.
Maybe🙂
Great demonstration!
I was wondering why you don’t mask the trim with tape?
Got the same truck same year same color paint suck on that truck but it’s a beautiful working driving truck.
Is this video intended for weekend warriors, like me? I would be way to uneasy to use anything other than a DA.
I’m baffled. So you used a different pad and a different compound for every section? Is that pretty normal? Would it be unusual to use the same compound/same pad for the whole car?
Can u recommend a decent seat or chair for polishing/correcting?
IGL coatings ftw!! Love working with them
Did you clay the truck before starting this?
2010stoof ...clay and paint decon
Nice video, Brian. Thanks. I’ve wondered when you use the flex mini rotary, you normally use speed 3 or 4; which would put the RPM’s in the 2,000’s. That’s awfully high?? Do you run a full size rotary that high too?
Mid speed.. or a bit over is te perfect balance for me . Cutting in a timely manner... but keeping temps down.
Are you using anti vibration gloves?
Do you teach classes at your shop?
Brian, what size backing plate and what size hybrid foam/wool pad did you use on the Flex PE-8? - Also, I did like the combo of the Uro Fiber pad with the Sonax; it produced nice results. The overall end result: sweet! Thanks for the video
5 inch backing plate...5 inch pad.
Apex Detail Thank you!
Another great video with plenty of information ❤️ . Dave (uk)
Dave Newton 😁👍🏻
Should you not prime the pad?
Great informative video. A big problem I have for my area during hot season is dusting from even the longest “work time”, compounds and polish. I noticed you stated to keep rate down to 3-4 I usually run my Rupes at 4-5. Could heating of pad and panel add to the dust? And also I really have to wash vehicle again after correction due to dusting any tips?
Btw forgot to mention I live in a desert.
Indeed.. that heat will cause the compound to flash quicker.
Dude I have such a problem with dusting, a literally full layer of dust covers the car windows and surrounding panels no matter what I do
Nice job
great video again buddy. I c Jr on his phone hard at work.lol.b well good friend 🍻🍻
Richard Seem hahahaa yep.
Are microfiber pads a risk to use?
At which point during this process would fixing stone chips be?
You wash and clay bar the paint .then you would fix stone chips..after everything is cured you wet sand and then you compound and polish
Brian so you are saying laying down a multi step correction should only be done if you are going to add a ceramic coating?
Toby, not to speak for Brian but usually after compounding and polishing a car you need to either add a sealant and or wax, or a ceramic coating alone to protect the clear coat.
At sealant at the very least.
After all, you went to a lot of work to remove defects, and took off a little clear coat, why not take steps to preserve that beautiful finish?
Were's your rotary at
Does angelwax perfect polish is similar to meguiars d302 polish? What tire dressing you used in the colorado?
It is a bit different than megs. I used Gyeon Q2 tire
Apex Detail thanks!
Where is the green pad from?
I bet you would have gotten it all with the urofiber and sonax skipping the compounding step.
I'd love to see some content about your thoughts on the IGL coating (paint)
High-Def Detail will do.
What was the green pad ? Who was it made by
Rupes
How is your MaxShine polisher holding up?
Loops And Threads love it... doesnt skip a beat!
great
Thank you for this I have a couple of GM vehicles and the paint can be hard to detail. What's cool with GM is every car you purchase you get orange peel paint for free, So nice of them....SMH
I would have used a clay bar on that truck before the 2 step,,it needs it
I’m sorry but.... I can’t help but notice you snatch that maxshine right up on your videos. I love it too. Just saying. Is it a mental thing? Oh I don’t want to put the hours on my blah blah blah. I’m not saying... but I’m saying... I fell in love with mine.
I use mine every chance I get!!👍
I thought you were more of a rotary guy. How do you decide when to use a rotary vs DA? I was going to buy a Max Shine, but you had me talked into a rotary after watching your other videos. Now I'm confused... :-)
voodedoo it’s good to have many weapons. An affordable workhorse.... well just pay attention
At the price of the MaxShine... I picked up both.
Totally agree. I have an old Meguiars DA that I use on my car (I am not a professional). I recently heard about Max Shine and was all geared up to buy one. I asked my question with a bit of a chuckle because I recently found Brian's videos on using the rotary, and after watching it I was REALLY interested in learning to use one. That Max Shine looks like a great machine as well and I was curious when to use one or the other...
Dang, not many people sell angelwax products
Seriously, as someone who's owned several black vehicles this video should be titled: What a mess! Why to never buy a black car! How can all that happen in a year? truth is, it happens to most but you just can't see it I guess....wow...what a mess.
They keep me very busy in my area.😁
Beautiful work B! You love KenZo huh?
Thanks!...I really do my friend!
Alert crew. Hey B. ❤️
👋😃
Apex Detail hey there. ;)
It's a Chevy Silverado Duramax my friend :). Not that it makes a difference to me.
Thanks...I have a Colorado up next...was on my mind for some reason. I dont like either...to be honest.
@@apexdetail85 well I have a shit Dodge that sucks too. 14 years old under 50,000 gas mileage sort of sucks it was a pre hurricane truck when 13 mpg was great with cheap gas. Now it has the rust wheel well surface that that they all suffer from. I think Dodge just painted rusted metal so you would get a nice surprise.
another pro showing the flat part of the hood, why not show doing the part with all the curves and bends?
Pull it out into the sunlight lmao
I'm concerned that a novice might watch your video and think it's ok to run the polisher over body seams. The high spot will burn easily if not end up with no clear coat left on it. I'm sure you know this, but your viewers may not. If i saw someone doing that on my car i would unplug the polisher for them.
5 star video until I tried to find Anglewax...
Maxshine
Imam Efendi 👍🏻
“Dooramax”
Dooourmax
Dooramax 😭😂
You don't know how to wipe a car paint properly...
HOW MUCH MORE IN POLISHING???????
Do Toyota's have hard or soft clear coat?
Softer side
What’s the average charge for a mid size sedan(Hyundai Sonata) to be compounded and polished, not sealed or waxed I like doing that on my own? I can wash, clay and decon, I just can’t polish for lack of a machine and most places won’t JUST compound and polish it, they need to re wash re clay etc..,
