During my very short lived career in my 20s in new car sales at a ford dealership selling FPV's , id actively tell customers purchasing GTs and F6s etc. NOT to do any paint protection through the dealership, as the quality of work was horrendous. My advice to them was to always ask that the car NOT go through a dealership pre delivery and that any shipping plastic wraps be left on the vehicle when taking delivery, so you could deliver the vehicle to a professional detailer to complete the work properly.
That’s great advise and very uncommon for a car salesman. I think it’s far to say that a large amount of these defects where from the dealership but there’s just no denying that an equal amount of them were straight from the Ford factory to be fair.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing You'd be quickly removed from the team if you were found not to be selling the aftercare products during the sales process, so i doubt its common place within the industry and as you can imagine alot of salesman arent necessarily "automotive enthusiasts". Its a truly shocking industry to be fair....
Just to add to what others have said, Ford's QC is horrendous. I rented a 2020 Ford Explorer after being involved in an accident where my 2019 Lexus GX460 was declared a total loss, and let me tell you that there is no comparison between Ford and it's Japanese rivals. Ergonomics, materials, panel gaps, 2.3 turbo, and overall quality is nowhere close to Japanese. I was contemplating on getting an ST Explorer but after driving a Limited for 1.5 months I decided to get myself back in a Lexus.
Once took my car to a Ford dealer to be detailed. Waste of money. I don't even know if they put a fresh coat of wax on it and the chrome wheels were just as hazy on it after as they were when it went in. Ended up buying a polish myself and cleaned them up in 30 minutes or less. Their attention to detail (or lack thereof) astounded me. Since then, I've educated myself on how to properly detail my vehicles myself and haven't looked back.
Is the shipping plastic wraps transparent? Because what if you leave the dealer and those wraps have hidden factory defects and when noticed outside the dealer you may have a hard chance of dealer accepting this as factory fault etc ?
Same thing I wanted to say. His attention to detail not only in his craft but in recording that craft and vividly describing and instructing techniques is just so far past anything I’ve ever seen before. The videos are not only clear in terms of the finish of the paint after he’s corrected it but clear in the sense of what he was trying to explain. Really makes my day when I get a notification of a new Car CRAFT and Auto Detailing video.
Entire process was thorough, enjoyable to watch, and a learning experience in assessing paint condition and how to approach the correcting stage. SHAME on Ford QC for letting the vehicle leave the plant in that condition! We all know those defects weren't caused by one dealership employee prepping the car for delivery. Thanks Sandro 👏🏻.
Youd be surprised what happens to a car at the dealership. A lot of dealerships car wash process is terrible along with their process of keeping them "clean"
Not necessarily. That Mustang had to travel far to get to Australia. That paint damage could have easily been done along the way, including repaint at the transport or dealership level. Many cars are spot repainted before sale without disclosure unless the damage was beyond a certain price point.
I love the way you handled the situation with the black plastic getting clear coated over, if nothing gets said back to them then it'll just continue to happen! Car has come up a treat so far, cant wait for part 3 :D
the education just dont stop... ive been deep in the Utube🐛 hole. yo channel is IT.!! content , theories and explanations are like no other. lets goooooooooo 💪
Impeccable Sandro 👍🏼 I think what many new to detailing may not realize is temperature and humidity can play a toll in results not to mention you can two exact same cars but the raw materials (paint / clear) could have also been supplied by different vendors. This surely supports and validates why testing is so important. As alway respect for your skills and sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼
Simply amazing. I’ve learnt so much from your brilliant videos - a true craftsman. You would not believe how the paint finish was transformed even on a new car.
Here I go again. The clarity and quality of your advice in this video is utterly outstanding Sandro, you are a masterful INSTRUCTOR. You don’t just show, and say “OK kids, off you go”, you use your decades of experience, distill it into a crystal clear understanding of WHY you need to this, or that. And if they don’t work, look at what you’re doing. Bloody brilliant instructional teaching. Also, I see Lake Country have a new range of 1” and 2” pads out?
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing sorry Sandro, I phrased that badly. I watched this video ruclips.net/video/p0XnwxEsTYU/видео.html looks like LC has a new range of mini/micro pads.
Okay, yes they do have 1” & 2” pads, and have for some time now, but they still don’t make those sizes for their disk HDO or SDO foam pads - which I wish they would.
Hey Sandro! It’s shameful the attention to detail shown from the makers of this classic model. I can say a lot more about it but I’ll reframe. The attention to detail that you have shown to this point is second to none. Bravo my friend! It’s a nice looking car to say the least. I can hardly wait to see the end results. Thanks for loving what you do! ✌🏾
Keep up the great work Sandro, whoever own's the stang is going to be blown away, also because its online, you can't hide anything you do wrong in a way and your showing off to the world your professional skill at car detailing and paint correction, it takes years of don'ts and do's before someone with more experience says look just do this or that and then you realize wow i have been doing it right, but doing it wrong in the sense you can do the job a lot quicker if you do this or that and still achieve the perfect result. , like i have said Sandro, your work outshines all the others in the detailing world online. :)
Getting more common now cars coming from the factory with poor fitted parts or damage to paint work to much focus on pushing the car out the door to get the next one on the line . Very informative and educational video Sandro , another job well done in the correction stage 😁👍🏻
I actually enjoy and learn from your talk more than your work. Thank you. Consider doing some videos with you just doing talking about car paints and your life experience. Like and Vlog. I am sure people would appreciate it.
You got it right, it’s the initial inspection and the attention to the details throughout the entire detailing process that will determine if it was successful.
Thank you so much for showing the whole process. I have always wondered how to take care of those smaller more fine edges. Everyone else on youtube simply finds the flattest hood they can find, polish it, and say do the whole car like that. Unfortunately now i know it wont be as easy as i thought.
That's American car companies for ya. Great videos! I enjoy watching your content in my spare time and just recently had my new 2020 Mazda 6 ceramic coated--I'm hooked!
Really love you channel and how you describe the process when you choose pads, compounds and do test spots. It is methodical and easy to follow the steps. It really helps me as a Advanced weekend warrior. Because of you I now bought the new Rupes foam line (with the new foam and shape). Rupes blue, yellow, white in 5” and 3”. Plus Rupes yellow wool for cutting and also Lake country one step MF. You cost me money 😂
You are a master Sandro! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Ps years ago one of the Big 3 was one of my clients. The number 1 issue with customers on the new vehicles was paint issues. Guess which of the Big 3 it was. 25 years later it seems nothing has changed
Heh Sandro teacher! Yea, really, you teached me by your videos. Of course I need to try different things myself, but how much you have saved by explaining... Thanks for that, really thanks. And now I know Tesla's new car condition is far better than this, another american manufacturer. Yes, I worked my own new Tesla Model 3 with two stage polishing (but the second was CarPro Reflex to pump the shine before ceramic coating), but it was way-way better than this vehicle!!! What about the video and the result itself? Did somebody waited for something else? No way, the result is amazing, music, video footage everything is great. Once again, Thank You Sandro!
My son started a detailing business at 16. No polishing yet I’ll teach him soon and he watches this channel. My only complaint is people are cheap when they have no clue about the investment I’ve made for him and don’t know the difference between Iron X and leather conditioner.
Yes, it’s definitely harder at the start to charge what you really should be charging and for customers to appreciate your time and costs. But I think with the support and some good guidance from his father he’s already got a great start and path to success if he takes advantage of that help.
Just discovered your channel. You do phenomenal work! Amazing attention to detail. I have a 19 year old avalanche I’d love for you to do. I can only imagine the amount of work that thing would take. Lol
For me, just using one large pad to do all larger flatter areas is asking too much of that pad. It’s best to have a few, switch out the pads and rotate them every few sections to allow them to cool or they tend to break and come apart.
I’ve had the same problem and I will be going there with the invoice and making them pay for at least half of it. My detailer told me they repainted the bonnet of my 2020 mustang and left buff marks and scratches everywhere. I called them and they told me they would call me back but never got back to me
You are awesome!! You make the Mille look so easy to use! I just sold mine, hated that thing! My Rupes 15 III is my favorite, but I even like using the 3401 better than the Mille.
Sandro im not surprise from Ford my 2013 as a lot of imperfections even drip of dry pain on hood edges what a shame for Ford just by looking at the video on RUclips from theire assembly plan and workers man there a long way to learn, when you see the european manufacturing quality. Great video like always Sandro
32:09 I find it hilarious you are polishing over Bayford "Drive away happy", considering the customer drove straight to you to fix being unhappy with the quality.
Its very understandable for a car being with some issues even if its brand new. Like c'mon, they dont teleport from factory to dealership... They get transported in boats, passed different hands, etc. Although that black paint deffect its obviously very lame considering the car. You would be surprised how dealerships treat new cars here in Chile. The wash hands just ruin the clearcoat so badly that you would be sick. Greetings my friend. Nice outwork
The mustang is coming out great. I need to give S20 another go. It has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time now. The piano trim is going to be a nightmare to maintain. Nice job on correcting them.
I really appreciate the level of dedication and detail you bring to both your work and your videos. You mentioned that you can brush your pads in place of using air when cleaning them off. As I don’t have an air compressor (yet), I’m curious what type of brush should be used. Thanks.
i also always give the glass a complimentary polish after i'm done with the body because i want to get all the compounds and junk i get on it during the paint correction. Even a dedicated quick glass polish cleaner works great for a 10 second wiz over.
33:07 I worked for 6 hours doing a light polish by hand on my car. It worked for most of swirls ~67%, so it was worth it IMO, but man, was I tired after that.
I special ordered a 2021 which I just received Friday. I am going to be reviewing the paint for quality control issues tonight, but tbh this car looks horrible compared to my own. Paint correction coming as well.
Hey Sandro, I was wondering if you can make a video on Graphene Coatings and explain exactly what they are. Pan the organizer mentioned it in his best products of 2020 video and I have never heard of it . Thanks
You mention of a few paint chips you recommended the owner have Ford fix. How would they fix it? It was my understanding that short of re-spraying a panel, all you can really do is use touch up paint to try to blend it as best as possible. I had Nissan do that with my new Titan and they did a poor job. And apparently did some wet sanding too because I have a patch around the chip that has no orange peel.
In the US, the performance pack mustangs come with a spoiler. I will say they have fixed the panel gap issues they had just a few years ago on the mustangs. But yeah paint still sucks. I cant bring myself to put my detail light on my black mustang wheels. It would hurt too bad lol
As an owner of a Ford vehicle at the early 2000's (2003 to be exact) quality control was even worst that this actual sawn. Value for money buy you that kind of quality although on other videos I watched over youtube saw brand new Porsches with scratches over the paint and wheels as well as Hyundais saw no effects whatsoever so that brings to your mind as a conclusion that there is no "almost" perfect new car it's only a matter of luck. However I have to admit that values of paint thickness seems OK on this car though. Nice job done mate!
Thanks, and I’ve always loved the AquaTouch Super Soft cloths but I don’t think they are still available, so I’m going to have to find a new favourite cloth!
This car must have undergoone som serious mistreamet somwhere along the line. My 18 GT was not anything like this. I did however ask the dealership not to touch before I picked it up. Thanks for video as alway
Great video as always any particular reason to use the force rotation on this job. I just picked up a flex pxe80 will be nice if you can review it eventually.
Thanks, and I’d say the Mille has become my favourite general polisher over the last couple of years, but much of that is just a personal preference as to which machine best complements each persons style of working. If the opportunity arises I’d definitely be up for reviewing it.
hello Sandro, Great contet as always. i'd like to ask you a question, how would you remove rust spots on the spokes of a quite new motorcycle (ducati scrambler) ? i've read and heard that polishing could remove too much chrome and potentially damage the spoke more than it actually is. And after managing to remove them, how to maintain the result? Sorry for the OT question, but i have this problem atm and you're one of the few I really trust out there. Cheers my man
Chrome is pretty hard, so unless you go crazy aggressive it’s quite safe to polish it without damaging it, especially if you are polishing by hand. Metal polishes are also far less aggressive than paint polishes as they tend to just very minimal abrasives and rely more on solvents to clean and polish metal. CarPro MetalliCut is a great new metal polish I’ve had great success with especially with a microfibre pad or cloth, it will take some elbow grease but you’ll get there in the end. Rust on wheels or spokes is usually due to brake dust fusing to and then rusting on the metal. So regular use of an iron remover such Iron-x should help avoid it, and coating them with a ceramic coating should also help reduce it from occurring.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you for your answer, really, i appreciate. Nice to know metallicut is good as i love most of the carpro products, so would be a nice add to my small arsenal. Ceramic coating is definetly an option in my mind but i'd like to have them as close to perfect as i can before doing it, so in the meanwhile do you think putting on some sonax bsd and then come back some days later to resore more spokes would be an option? I dont have much free time so i can work on it in just few hours window frames
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you so much, i'm going to attack with ironx and some aluminium foil, just ordered metallicut. For the coating gyeon rim or something else? After this masage i'll stop abusing of your time and knowledge, i promise. Thankl you so much, it means alot beacuse this motorcycle has a special affective meaning to me.
hi again Sandro.....I can't get those nv products that iv seen you use in a few videos here in ireland.....but I can get the lake country blue and orange pads....my question is what other products would you recommend in there place. ...maybe in the carpro line up or other more accessible products..thanks again Sandro and stay safe !
CarPro’s line up is great and I use their products every single week, so yes I can certainly recommend products like Eraser, Reflect, ClearCut and Essence for paint correction. Inside and the InnerScrub Glove are still my two favourite interior cleaners as well as CQ Leather, and CQuartz UK 3.0 is a fantastic paint coating along with Dlux for wheels and trims and Flyby Forte for glass.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing sorry to be a noob with these questions Sandro.....I have nearly all those products and detailed and coated my previous car after watching and learning from your channel. ..including a cquartz coating application...my current car has some light swirls and my question is in what order would I use the Reflect and Essence......i bought a orange carpro pad and a gloss pad too....so is it reflect with orange and then essence with the gloss pad or the other way round....I'm also going to use cquartz coating on the car.....thanks again Sandro for all your great and informative videos...you have taught me how to detail my car to a high standard...cheers
You would use Reflect before Essence (Essence should never be polished over). It really depends on the paint, but typically you would use Reflect with the orange polishing pads and Essence could then be used with CarPro’s Gloss pad.
nice video thanks. How many cycles will the polishing machine you use for glass? I only watched the video because I do not speak English, but I learned something ..🤏😁😁
Great video, awesome to watch! To be honest, the blue taped up trims actually looked pretty good. One question, did your microfibre cleaning procedure change 3 years down the track? Since Coles changed their Wool Wash formula, did you start using another one?
Car Craft Auto Detailing So you use the new Coles Wool Wash? I’ve been testing that between the Earth Choice Wool Wash and I feel the Earth Choice leaves the cloths much softer.
Your vids have really helped get back into detailing my own personal vehicle. Question, I use prep all wax and grease remover in lieu of IPA. I use it after claying, prior to compound/polish and again after polishing before applying sealant or wax. Is this ok? Or is it too much? Thanks!
It’s usually ok to use, but sometimes on softer paints it can further soften and make the paint more sensitive for a period after use, so a isopropyl alcohol dilution tends to be less aggressive
I’ve only had the chance to briefly test a couple of their compounds quite a while back which I though they seemed good, as there has never been a distributor here in Australia.
OMG 125 microns, that's just 1/4 of a mm thickness of paint, you would think it would be more than that? Also seen a new maybach with orange peel which on black paint sticks out like a sore thumb and after they finished removing the orange peel, it was like a mirror?
I had a deep scratch in my mk5 golf could feel it with my nail use a chinese spta wool pad with Koch chemie h9 8 passes and bit of pressure took the scratch out completely and fished extremely well but I did refine with rupes Millie yellow pad and Koch f6 I don’t have the Millie btw just 15mm cocraft da it’s same as the autofiness da less then 1/2 price
This 3 part video series I did explains the differences and why you’d choose one over another, but quite honestly it’s really more about a personal preference. ruclips.net/video/UetseOcebH0/видео.html
The mustang is my least favorite car, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that it was delivered with so much damage. I used to work at a dealership and I’m going to go out in a limb, and say the rest of the damage, with the exception of the glue, unless the glue was done with dealer installed options, dealers just trash paint on cars. I’ve purchased 24 new out of the 32 cars I’ve owned in 31 years of driving, and the dealers in the Us literally have teams of people that just pull up in a truck with a trailer, with a huge water tank on the back, and they go down the line, and one power washes the car with an industrial grade pressure washer, while at least 3 people, just follow behind the pressure washer, with a chamois and dry the cars. No soap, not even a wash. Just a blast and a dry. If the car has spent any time on the lot, it’s gotten sprayed down, twice a week, and dried with a dirty chamois, that was used on 100 other cars, in an hour.
Hey Sandro, what are your thoughts on primer polishes such as NV Morph? Do they improve ceramic coating longevity/performance? And could that have been a viable option as apposed to the S20 black in this situation? Thanks, Cheyne
AIO primer polishes could definitely be an option but I wouldn’t say they’d improve durability or performance and you’d really just have so a test to see how well they’d work on each specific paint and it’s existing defects.
No not always. As I mentioned in the video, it’s fine to use larger polishers over edges if it’s just a mild combination and you’re not trying to remove significant defects in those areas.
During my very short lived career in my 20s in new car sales at a ford dealership selling FPV's , id actively tell customers purchasing GTs and F6s etc. NOT to do any paint protection through the dealership, as the quality of work was horrendous.

this video will help a lot when detailing my mustang for the first time, thanks
Can you get away with using one 5-inch orange HDO pad for all the flat panels?
For me, just using one large pad to do all larger flatter areas is asking too much of that pad. It’s best to have a few, switch out the pads and rotate them every few sections to allow them to cool or they tend to break and come apart.
Good to know, cheers! Love your videos!
I am trying to focus on 2 compounds and 2 polish only. This way you have a better control on the results and you know what your products can do.
3D ONE is a good one step compound to use on any type of clearcoat.
Great stuff as always, Sandro. Although if I was the owner, i’d be sending your invoice to the Ford dealer!

For only a 3mm throw, the TA50 can get some work done! Looks great!
thanks for using a 4k cam! looks awesome!
You are awesome!! You make the Mille look so easy to use! I just sold mine, hated that thing! My Rupes 15 III is my favorite, but I even like using the 3401 better than the Mille.
I hope you sent these videos to Ford & the dealership. No one should have to pay for that level of paint correction on a brand new vehicle! 😬
Sandro im not surprise from Ford my 2013 as a lot of imperfections even drip of dry pain on hood edges what a shame for Ford just by looking at the video on RUclips from theire assembly plan and workers man there a long way to learn, when you see the european manufacturing quality.
Great video like always Sandro
Go the Scholls! Love 20+ Black
Great video as always.
You're so talented ... Love it
32:09 I find it hilarious you are polishing over Bayford "Drive away happy", considering the customer drove straight to you to fix being unhappy with the quality.
Its very understandable for a car being with some issues even if its brand new. Like c'mon, they dont teleport from factory to dealership... They get transported in boats, passed different hands, etc. Although that black paint deffect its obviously very lame considering the car. You would be surprised how dealerships treat new cars here in Chile. The wash hands just ruin the clearcoat so badly that you would be sick. Greetings my friend. Nice outwork
The mustang is coming out great. I need to give S20 another go. It has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time now. The piano trim is going to be a nightmare to maintain. Nice job on correcting them.
Thanks Mike, and I just wouldn’t want to live in a world without S20 lol, it’s an amazing compound!
Really good advice thanks
I really appreciate the level of dedication and detail you bring to both your work and your videos. You mentioned that you can brush your pads in place of using air when cleaning them off. As I don’t have an air compressor (yet), I’m curious what type of brush should be used. Thanks.
You can by purpose made pad cleaning brushes, but in reality they are really just slightly stiff short nylon bristle brushes.
Lake country blue pads are the ones I use the most
10 views, 10 likes, 1 dislike. **** dislike bots aye. Great work as always Sandro!
My brother in law purchased a mustang in nz. The paint was ...to be kind...textured.....
i also always give the glass a complimentary polish after i'm done with the body because i want to get all the compounds and junk i get on it during the paint correction. Even a dedicated quick glass polish cleaner works great for a 10 second wiz over.
When I was young they were buffing cars before delivering them
33:07 I worked for 6 hours doing a light polish by hand on my car. It worked for most of swirls ~67%, so it was worth it IMO, but man, was I tired after that.
I special ordered a 2021 which I just received Friday. I am going to be reviewing the paint for quality control issues tonight, but tbh this car looks horrible compared to my own. Paint correction coming as well.
Perfect🤤🤤
Good job man 👏👏
とても為になる
分かり易い施工内容と
綺麗な映像と、、、😆
毎回参考になります😊
Hey Sandro, I was wondering if you can make a video on Graphene Coatings and explain exactly what they are.
Pan the organizer mentioned it in his best products of 2020 video and I have never heard of it . Thanks
I’ll hopefully have a video on them down the track.
You mention of a few paint chips you recommended the owner have Ford fix. How would they fix it? It was my understanding that short of re-spraying a panel, all you can really do is use touch up paint to try to blend it as best as possible. I had Nissan do that with my new Titan and they did a poor job. And apparently did some wet sanding too because I have a patch around the chip that has no orange peel.
Nice Work
In the US, the performance pack mustangs come with a spoiler. I will say they have fixed the panel gap issues they had just a few years ago on the mustangs. But yeah paint still sucks. I cant bring myself to put my detail light on my black mustang wheels. It would hurt too bad lol
As an owner of a Ford vehicle at the early 2000's (2003 to be exact) quality control was even worst that this actual sawn. Value for money buy you that kind of quality although on other videos I watched over youtube saw brand new Porsches with scratches over the paint and wheels as well as Hyundais saw no effects whatsoever so that brings to your mind as a conclusion that there is no "almost" perfect new car it's only a matter of luck. However I have to admit that values of paint thickness seems OK on this car though. Nice job done mate!
What I notice with the Mille is that you don’t want to go to slow because the machine is extremely strong.
Dammmmm I thought my 2021 DD little-swirls was major watching this made me realize it wasn’t that major.
amazing as always. what’s your go to for cloths?
Thanks, and I’ve always loved the AquaTouch Super Soft cloths but I don’t think they are still available, so I’m going to have to find a new favourite cloth!
This car must have undergoone som serious mistreamet somwhere along the line. My 18 GT was not anything like this. I did however ask the dealership not to touch before I picked it up.
Thanks for video as alway
Great video as always any particular reason to use the force rotation on this job. I just picked up a flex pxe80 will be nice if you can review it eventually.
Thanks, and I’d say the Mille has become my favourite general polisher over the last couple of years, but much of that is just a personal preference as to which machine best complements each persons style of working. If the opportunity arises I’d definitely be up for reviewing it.
Another truly amazing video. I am curious regarding IPA panel wipes. Can you use pure IPA?
Thanks, and you usually want to dilute a 100% strength isopropyl alcohol with 4 parts distilled water or use approximately 20% strength on car paint.
hello Sandro, Great contet as always. i'd like to ask you a question, how would you remove rust spots on the spokes of a quite new motorcycle (ducati scrambler) ? i've read and heard that polishing could remove too much chrome and potentially damage the spoke more than it actually is. And after managing to remove them, how to maintain the result? Sorry for the OT question, but i have this problem atm and you're one of the few I really trust out there. Cheers my man
Chrome is pretty hard, so unless you go crazy aggressive it’s quite safe to polish it without damaging it, especially if you are polishing by hand. Metal polishes are also far less aggressive than paint polishes as they tend to just very minimal abrasives and rely more on solvents to clean and polish metal. CarPro MetalliCut is a great new metal polish I’ve had great success with especially with a microfibre pad or cloth, it will take some elbow grease but you’ll get there in the end. Rust on wheels or spokes is usually due to brake dust fusing to and then rusting on the metal. So regular use of an iron remover such Iron-x should help avoid it, and coating them with a ceramic coating should also help reduce it from occurring.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you for your answer, really, i appreciate. Nice to know metallicut is good as i love most of the carpro products, so would be a nice add to my small arsenal. Ceramic coating is definetly an option in my mind but i'd like to have them as close to perfect as i can before doing it, so in the meanwhile do you think putting on some sonax bsd and then come back some days later to resore more spokes would be an option? I dont have much free time so i can work on it in just few hours window frames
Yes that’s fine, a good sealant will work as well
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you so much, i'm going to attack with ironx and some aluminium foil, just ordered metallicut. For the coating gyeon rim or something else? After this masage i'll stop abusing of your time and knowledge, i promise. Thankl you so much, it means alot beacuse this motorcycle has a special affective meaning to me.
I think Gyeon Rim should work great!
Great video! Do you use a pad conditioner spray when polishing?
Thanks, and generally no I don’t.
hi again Sandro.....I can't get those nv products that iv seen you use in a few videos here in ireland.....but I can get the lake country blue and orange pads....my question is what other products would you recommend in there place. ...maybe in the carpro line up or other more accessible products..thanks again Sandro and stay safe !
CarPro’s line up is great and I use their products every single week, so yes I can certainly recommend products like Eraser, Reflect, ClearCut and Essence for paint correction. Inside and the InnerScrub Glove are still my two favourite interior cleaners as well as CQ Leather, and CQuartz UK 3.0 is a fantastic paint coating along with Dlux for wheels and trims and Flyby Forte for glass.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing sorry to be a noob with these questions Sandro.....I have nearly all those products and detailed and coated my previous car after watching and learning from your channel. ..including a cquartz coating application...my current car has some light swirls and my question is in what order would I use the Reflect and Essence......i bought a orange carpro pad and a gloss pad too....so is it reflect with orange and then essence with the gloss pad or the other way round....I'm also going to use cquartz coating on the car.....thanks again Sandro for all your great and informative videos...you have taught me how to detail my car to a high standard...cheers
You would use Reflect before Essence (Essence should never be polished over).
It really depends on the paint, but typically you would use Reflect with the orange polishing pads and Essence could then be used with CarPro’s Gloss pad.
nice video thanks. How many cycles will the polishing machine you use for glass? I only watched the video because I do not speak English, but I learned something ..🤏😁😁
Great video, awesome to watch! To be honest, the blue taped up trims actually looked pretty good.
One question, did your microfibre cleaning procedure change 3 years down the track? Since Coles changed their Wool Wash formula, did you start using another one?
Thanks, and no, I still use the exact same product and method, it really works fantastic for me.
Car Craft Auto Detailing So you use the new Coles Wool Wash? I’ve been testing that between the Earth Choice Wool Wash and I feel the Earth Choice leaves the cloths much softer.
I use both and at least for me the results are quite similar
Car Craft Auto Detailing Thank you!
Your vids have really helped get back into detailing my own personal vehicle. Question, I use prep all wax and grease remover in lieu of IPA. I use it after claying, prior to compound/polish and again after polishing before applying sealant or wax. Is this ok? Or is it too much? Thanks!
It’s usually ok to use, but sometimes on softer paints it can further soften and make the paint more sensitive for a period after use, so a isopropyl alcohol dilution tends to be less aggressive
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks! Do you use IPA after polishing and prior to applying sealant/wax?
Yes I do
Great video. Have you used Koch Chemie products and do you think they are good?
I’ve only had the chance to briefly test a couple of their compounds quite a while back which I though they seemed good, as there has never been a distributor here in Australia.
OMG 125 microns, that's just 1/4 of a mm thickness of paint, you would think it would be more than that? Also seen a new maybach with orange peel which on black paint sticks out like a sore thumb and after they finished removing the orange peel, it was like a mirror?
I had a deep scratch in my mk5 golf could feel it with my nail use a chinese spta wool pad with Koch chemie h9 8 passes and bit of pressure took the scratch out completely and fished extremely well but I did refine with rupes Millie yellow pad and Koch f6 I don’t have the Millie btw just 15mm cocraft da it’s same as the autofiness da less then 1/2 price
Why did you choose to use the Mille gear driven orbital as apposed to the LHR15 random orbital?
Thanks man .
Where you get the rubber protector thingi to put over your air hose, so it does not scratch the paint?
I think that was just some rubber fusing tape
hello! your video quality is very good. so, could you tell me which camera do you using?
I use both a GoPro Hero cameras and Canon DSLRs
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks a lot
sandra please answer this question i am so curious
what makes you decide between polishers please explain in which case you choose different machines
This 3 part video series I did explains the differences and why you’d choose one over another, but quite honestly it’s really more about a personal preference.

Do you mind if I ask what video editing software you are using?
Final Cut ProX
Car Craft Auto Detailing - Thanks 👍🏽💯🚗
I want to get one of those paint depth gauges that read all 3 primer, base, lacquer separate but gosh they are expensive $$$
The mustang is my least favorite car, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that it was delivered with so much damage. I used to work at a dealership and I’m going to go out in a limb, and say the rest of the damage, with the exception of the glue, unless the glue was done with dealer installed options, dealers just trash paint on cars. I’ve purchased 24 new out of the 32 cars I’ve owned in 31 years of driving, and the dealers in the Us literally have teams of people that just pull up in a truck with a trailer, with a huge water tank on the back, and they go down the line, and one power washes the car with an industrial grade pressure washer, while at least 3 people, just follow behind the pressure washer, with a chamois and dry the cars. No soap, not even a wash. Just a blast and a dry. If the car has spent any time on the lot, it’s gotten sprayed down, twice a week, and dried with a dirty chamois, that was used on 100 other cars, in an hour.
Nice work where can i buy the non aggressive small pads from thanks
Thanks, and there’s links to where I get them in the description box, but those are Rupes yellow foam polishing pads
Hey Sandro, what are your thoughts on primer polishes such as NV Morph? Do they improve ceramic coating longevity/performance? And could that have been a viable option as apposed to the S20 black in this situation? Thanks, Cheyne
AIO primer polishes could definitely be an option but I wouldn’t say they’d improve durability or performance and you’d really just have so a test to see how well they’d work on each specific paint and it’s existing defects.
Okay thanks for the reply! Love your work, can’t wait for part 3
Do you always use small polishers around the edges?
No not always. As I mentioned in the video, it’s fine to use larger polishers over edges if it’s just a mild combination and you’re not trying to remove significant defects in those areas.
