Awesome video and looking forward to see the next episode!
Thanks for the very thorough explaination you are doing. I just soak up as much I can. And know you have me interested to maybe buy a 3" rotary polisher. I live in Sweden where you have 230v electric outlets as standard. So some of the brands you are showing is not available in those volts. It's the Shinemate 3" rotary polisher I have in mind looking closer into. They do the Adam's Swirl Killer polishers. Have the Shinemate EX603 mini polisher which is like the Adam's Swirl Killer Mini polisher. And have been very satisfied with it. Also only have a 21mm longthrow polisher copy. So have been wondering to ad a rotary polisher to the mix or a direct-drivenDA. But leaning again at the rotary polisher and see you use a 5" backing plate on them makes them even more interesting for me.
Lets say you have the Adam's Swirl Killer Mini polisher or the Flex mini orbital polisher. Would you use a 5" backing plate on them? I don't see much of a difference between the Rupes Duetto and the mini polisher. Than the 5" backing plate and 3" backing plate and the shroud just above the backing plates. It's to have an alternative 5" DA polisher to the 21mm longthrow polisher. When I have been cutting with the 21mm and then could be finishing polish with the mini polisher with the 5" backing plate on it.
Finally someone explains it simply enough! Thank you for taking your time to help the average person.
These videos are like detailing college thanks for all this it’s a learning experience
I really feel like I should have been charged money for this level of information, awesome stuff
Enjoy! Cheers!
You are cranking out more vids than Star Wars movies. I truly appreciate you sharing you're knowledge and demonstrating products and techniques. Thank you sir. 👍
Lol....Cheers!
i watch a lot of youtube detailing and painting videos, this series is my favorite. Nice work!
Again bless you sir. If anyone thinks you don't read comments or questions, they could not be more wrong.
I look forward to your videos. You have a great way of breaking down the content so that everyone, not just the pros can relate to what you are doing. 👍
After watching this I will always clean out my pad after every set.
Look forward to your videos on foam pads.
👍🏽
A lot of the success of clear coat correction is experience. Don't expect perfection, and don't be aggressive in trying to smooth out clear coat. If you have the time do it, do it on the side of caution with the idea in mind that if you don't get it all done the first time you can always do it again and get a little more aggressive the next time. Don't dive into a clear coat with the intention of getting every imperfection taken care of the first time you do a correction. Overdoing it can lead to ruining a clear coat and having to have the car repainted.
Great post.
i wish i found you 20 years ago when i was younger without a tons of bills every month if i could spend 3 months in the shop with you i would off learned a lot from you Brian thanks for all this wonderful lessons
ur channel is in a class of its own good friend. amazing video and tips as always. b well
As always, thanks Brian. I hope there is a Part-4!
Mate awesome video, very thorough. I greatly appreciate it
One again a rich video with a lot of useful content. We are so grateful!
Great video! Once again!
Another fantastic series!!
I have to say that blue pad works wonders. I love the cutting power it has. Keep up the great videos.
AWSOME !!! Thanks Brian
Excellent series, when doing the foam cutting pads, I’m very interested in cleaning as you go. I get a lot of hard water that cuts easy with a strong cutting foam pad but gunk up quickly . For time sake I’ve gone to just having a bunch in stock of my “go to” pads.
Thanks again for great content! I've got a correction job today on a corvette and I'll be trying the pad/fluid combos. Keep up the great work!
Really nice job can't wait to see the finished product
More on wet sanding! Great video!
Great video and information.
That corvette came out with a deeper green after the polishing..good work
I have a BRG jaguar that’s needs this attention.
Great video bro thanks 🙏
Great series.
Excellent as always ✊💎
Great series! My pads after I’m done I use compressed air and a brush then a pad cleaner and a brush under warm water then let air dry.
Very informative as always!
Awesome vid!! Thank you👍🏼👍🏼
How much pressure do u put on youself. Hardest working man in Detailing TY
AMEN! … a machine!
No pressure....love what I do.
@@apexdetail85 you are the man!
I buffed the Clear Coat on my Carbon Fiber Rockey mountain Vetex 70 RSL
Amazing what Elbow Grease Can do
THANKS for the info
At the paint shop we had a commercial customer that hated orange peel. So all his trucks had to have a mirror finish. We would spray a extra one or two coat of clear coat just to cut it down, I think we were pushing 8 to 9 mills total in thickness. We started to use 3M's Trizact 1500 to 3000 grit disks dry but when getting to the 5000 grit changed to wet sanding. This cut the time way down getting rid of the orange peel. When followed up with polishing. What are your thoughts about the magnetic paint thickness gauges?
I will try to cover all gauges sometimes soon.
Hi Brian another great series so far. I noticed in this video you wet sanded part of the rear truck area. Do you intend to sand the entire car at this point as I’m sure the correction on that part of the car is much closer to perfection then the rest. Wouldn’t that leave a noticeable line of demarcation on the car if the entire car wasn’t sanded at this point. Also do you need to tape the edges if you are using a Torq random orbital polisher. Thanks and keep them coming your the only detailer I watch on You Tube now.
I will be sanding the rest of it off camera.
Nice Job Brian. is the CG pad cleaner better than we use the detergent to wash the pad throughly by water ? I think the rotary cut much faster than DA so many of the body shop they use rotary ? Thanks and looking forward to see the part 4...
You will soon find out what is really in that spray bottle.
Apex Detail looking forward to your update in that spray bottle. Thanks Brian
AWESOME~~~!!!!
Fannnnntassssticccccccccc
Any clue why Sonax Cut&Finish with Uro pads leavs haze on black paint (moderat to hard)?
Have you ever thought about wearing ear muffs or plugs since you spend so much time with polishing machines?
Brian - not precisely related to this video, but no so far off either. I’m hoping you’ll see this anyway:
I have 3-4 small spots of cracked clear on the hood, a couple on the roof, and one on the gas cap. Bird poo induced. Black 2017 Honda Accord + trees in the lot + 90+ temps 5 months out of the year + parked in full sun all day at work = an impossible battle to win.
Is spot wet sanding (like using the eraser end of a pencil with 2000 grit sandpaper glued on), polishing, and filling with Dr Colorchip a possibility here? We’re talking small spots with craters in the center. I want to keep the repair area as small as possible since the Honda clear is notoriously soft.
My goal is to minimize the recurring damage until I can get out of this parking lot and then find a pro to clean everything up. I’ve taken to carrying a mf towel and detailing spray with me to mitigate the damage, but even a few hours in these conditions is too much for this crummy paint.
It is an option...yes. Fill them in before mother nature gets all types of elements and traffic film works its way in there.
Thanks very much, Brian. I appreciate the effort you put into your channel and the great info that you’re sharing.
I’ll proceed with some trepidation, but really - as long as I get some paint back in there - I can’t make things worse than they are now.
Do you use the wool
1.because you're a professional
2. It takes less time than foam
Why not removing the full orange e peel? I hate it... Try kxk dynamics wet sanding blocks... They have a 45 angle wich avoids the bulk formed from the grip fold.... Love. This
How do you remove yellow gas stains from the bumper cover?
Out of interest Bri what speed was the rotary on another video full of info I never realised how important masking the corners are . Dave UK
Speed setting 3 to 4
What polishing fluid did you use at the end? What was in the spray bottle - just water or water and soap? What Flex were you using? Thanks.
Flex Pe 8 Great....but pricey unit.
How much pressure do you put on the block while sanding?
Hard to put into words...similar to a firm handshake.
Try dry sanding ☺️mutch more kontrol 👍👍
Hey Brian, I daily drive a 2006 Acura tsx in dark grey with heavy oxidation on roof and light oxidation on the hood. Should I wet sand those areas and/or just compound? And which compound would you recommend? I'll be using the harbor freight rotary. Also could I use 3D one on the rest of the car?
Wet sand. Compound = 3D ACA 500
@@apexdetail85 Awesome, thank you for the help Brian!
What did you put (the white dabs) on the woolpad?
3D ONE
Would you consider using multiple wool pads to detail a car?
It is an option...then clean them all at the end.
It always amazes me that one or two idiots will hit the thumbs down icon. I guess hatters got to hate.
that acid rain isnt coming out,no matter what you do.
this car needs a repaint.
In some cases...yes. But not an option in this case....hence it is at my shop instead of a body shop.🙂
When the hell did compounding/polishing become “paint correction”. So dumb. Marketing gimmick. People that pay for ceramic coatings on there collector cars are idiots. These cars will NEVER see the elements that require this type of protection. Spray wax for $8. Save your money people.
