To be honest with you I've always use Menzerna products for correction. They just flat-out work right the first time. And their latest 2 for 1 and 3 for 1 products are even better. Use a Lake Country polishing with the flex 3401, or even the max shine 15 mm Pro or Torx 22d a polisher.
Love how conscious you are about health and safety. I've cringed many times seeing people open a bottle of product and putting it right to their nose for a smell test. Protecting skin, eyes, lungs & such from these products is very important. Love the sandblasting cabinet for the pad blowout.
Interesting as I have full 3d retail outlet 10 minutes from my house. And I know they sell the compounds and polishes in the smaller bottles as well as the large ones. Tks Brian
Excellent video. I've been watching all your videos on Xtreme products. I think i'm gonna order some products. I trust your option on products. I've been doing paint correction and paint enhancements for 40 yrs. I always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you for doing honest straight forward videos. I know you help a lot of people when just starting out.
Brian! Let's get a Patreon page for you! You deserve the extra scratch for either more AV equipment or your favorite charity (Dyslexia). Just a thought
see this guy is unreal nice to meet a successful business owner who hasn't let capitalism ruin his moral compass. Hey Bryan are u ready for the Angelwax Coating line releasing soon? I guess John their head chemist has been working on a graphene Infused coating. And do u have any interest in show casing Tac Total One Essential because that is like Perfect polish with SiO2 in it can be a primer or 1 year stand alone that's crazy. I love it personally finally something that has filling capabilities but won't get in the way of the covalent bond the coating makes with the paint actually supplies anchor points for it like steal reinforced concrete.
Thank you Bryan for another great one! Let me tell you two things. First of all I have saved so much money because of your treasure trove of information your vast catalog of videos has provided for me. I don't have to guess at what products will give me the results I am looking for. You can go off of these companies advertisements or product descriptions only. I am comfortable and confident enough with my skills and arsenal of products to tell customers that I can give as much or more gloss than anyone here in Southern California with compromising their oem or aftermarket paint. I was watching a certain RUclips detail channel that is fairly popular with 100k subs and the guy is supposedly that big and that professional but doesn't own a pai t depth gauge. Now I might sound like a pompous a*s but I can't imagine how much that little thing has helped me become a better paint correction specialist! To know exactly what u are working with depth wise allows you confidence in what you are doing and how far you can go after imperfections. I've even added a service where I will wet sand down the imperfection and then either use my paint gun to apply so euro 2k clear, spray max 2k glamour clear, Optimum clear coat restorer, or airbrush 2 or 3 mils of clear back on top. The trick is blending it into the other clear so get yourself a spot blender clear or use Optimus clear coat restorer that blends awesome as well. And that brings me to the second point. Not only have you saved me money and helped me to have the best products in my opinion but I'm a better Detailer because of all your hard work and time you have spent making your content. I feel as if I am in your debt Bryan and will feel that way for a great while. I don't care if this sounds cheesy or if I have a man crush or what ever comments might arise. The point is someone has bettered me as a professional and as a person and I want to Thank them. It not like I'm here watching Paul Logan or Poopy Pie's channel this is a content provider whos only gain is the reward he gets from a thank you. Bryan if the world were filled with like minded individuals the only issue we would all have is where to keep the new product UPS just delivered. Not a bad problem to have. Your son is a lucky young man to have you as a father. I know he knows that already but I want you to know that some of us see that too. Okay the star pupil will stop and shut up now here is your apple teach! Okay let's give Bryan a nickname like "The One" or "Obi One" not Wan but for 3D One get it? "Gloss Master" "Mr. Clean" sorry Bryan I had to get a bald joke in there after your how u get it so shiny joke the other day. I personally like "Obi One" or "50/50" for his favorite pad. So let me hear so ideas come on don't be shy I think I got you started enough show the man some love... let's try and get him 10k or 20k likes on this video too. If you have learned something by watching Mr. Apex's channel here then give him a like and put a term of endearment in the comment section. Thanks team Apex! Dang my phone keeps changing Apex to Alex for God sakes.... add to dictionary already!
Love my 3D One ! And its easy to get in Canada..small or large format. but its cool Brian is testing all the time to see who's gonna be the New Kid in Town! loll! ;-)
I heard about your channel through Pan the Organizer. I have to say that I enjoy your work as well. Thanks for the help and information that you provide. :-)
I've found that the 3D ONE in the 16 ounce bottle is incredibly easy to find. I bought a 16 oz bottle of it because that was basically all that I could find online. I don't believe they have an 8 oz bottle, though...but I could be wrong.
Cracking vid. Love the methodical scientific approach to each vid. I have just bought a 3 year old seat leon fr and am waiting to cut and polish with sonax perfect finish and ethos pro ceramic for coating. I also have a shinemate rotary ( new to use on bumpers etc) keep up the good work boss👍😎
Hi buddy. Thanks for your good videos. I need to get hands on ONE. I just bought the HD speed and it is very good. I am from Portugal and I can only fine 3D products on ebay coming from the UK. The 16oz HD Speed cost me 28€.
Brian, you’re simply the best.🥇🏆 Because of you I’m going to buY and they the combo: 3D ACA500 (and “ONE”) with Uro-Fibre pads. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bells you. *Question:* 1) Could you please post a link to exactly your Gloss meter using in your reviews and this video as well? 2) At [8:40] are you using the Rupes Ultra Fine White Pad?
I have a 2013 BMW 335i: lots of swirls and I wanted to know if the 3D One would work by itself to clear up all the swirls? Also, which pad should I use? I am not looking for show quality, it’s my daily driver but ai want a great shine before I apply ceramic coating afterwards. I have never used a DA polisher before but have just purchased my first one. I appreciate your insite and your content.
Looks like LVR503 is more aggressive of a cut specked at P1200-P1500 sand paper. vs 3D One's P1500. Seems like 503 finishes down way better then most compounds that can cut P1200.
Have you tried the McKee’s 37 360 all-in-one? I’ve seen great things said about it. It’s a diminishing polish/sealant, so there’s no dusting or product to really buff off either. Thx
so pretty much is it just not realistic to have the paint looking defect-free when doing something like in this video? i did a car yesterday and although after being finished the car had defects in the paint, the paint was all cleared up from haziness and id say about 70% of all defects were gone. is that when you have to talk to the customer about expectation management?
So maybe finishing with 403 you’d get the extra gloss units but then that be a two step. Either way very nice I’ll be throwing it in the mix with Oberk speaking of Oberk Supreme cut does this cut better ?
I have a 2017 Maserati Granturismo in excellent condition about 8k miles. I would like to do a one-step correction polish and apply a ceramic/Graphit coating? Do you have any recommendations. I am not a professional detailer but more a weekend warrior. My goals are to correct minor blemishes, create a nice deep rich shine and create a bonding foundation for the ceramic. Thank you for your time.
Hi Brian, Thanks for the videos. Do you always Compound & Polish? Can you just use polish to clean-up love marks? When to use compound? When to use polish? Does polish cut? Mail call answer maybe?
I have became a huge fan of 3D products. Their products tends to be better than advertise. I tend to cheat with 3D One. I will do two cutting passes with a cutting pad and switch to a finishing pad, then wipe off residue. First hand experience, I would choose 3D One over Presta's two step. I would love to see 3D Speed vs P&S Playmaker, I usually use Playmaker for a hand polish and a little extra pop. The one product I can't wait for in the new year is Meg's M27 Hybrid Ceramic Sealant and their Surface prep.
I Brian Are these products only available in the U.S? I currently use Koch Chemie have you use these ? I get really good results with the rotary Thanks love your channel
Apex I coated a vehicle with CarPro lite a month ago on a 2019 gmc black truck. My client decided to take it to auto wash station. What can I use to polish all the water spots and overspray without removing the coating ? also when pre wash theirs no hydro beating but after I clean it with reload the hydro properties come back is it cause I’m losing coating or what’s your thoughts? Than you
When will you/will you be upload videos looking in depth at Xtreme solutions products? 403 got some love, what about their waxes? I have their 403, 358, and 385. Their Xtreme suds soap is crazy good too. The suds last FOREVER
At what point do you determine where "swirls,the ones you can see when the sun hits it just right,black paint" between a compound or a polish product.,dodge ram probably pretty tough clear coat.?
@@apexdetail85 light compound or a polish product ? Those weird swirls,i didnt do them,used truck,hack prior owner? I,m sure you have seen this type of blemish many times,sun angles or where you stand etc.just want them gone or diminshed before i put down a sealant.thanks much,love your vids.vette looks killer,bet you hate to breathe on it let alone drive it.
Thanks Brian!! If you have just to use angel wax resurrection, regenerate, redemption n perfection which would wld u start with on this same honda? Would u finish with perfect polish or redemption? Will these ever come close to 3d one in final gloss? Thank you
What is the paint depth on 2018/2019 VW's? Does it lean towards soft, medium or hard? Thanks for sharing your knowledge Brian! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Brian, how would you compare or where would you use LVR 403 vs LVR 503? ...again just trying to get a better handle on whether I need to buy both or one of them.. Thanks for your help.
So the LYR 503 is their "cutting" compound that can be also be used as a one step depending on the pad and the LVR 403 is their lighter version that can be used as a one step, but is designed as a polishing glaze? So I'm assuming 3D One is somewhere in between? I noticed the Xtreme Solutions products are about 1/2 the price as the 3D One product, so you could buy the 503 and the 403 for about the same price as 3D One and have twice as much product... and possibly use each as the application(s) dictates.
Also, if I'm correct, and you're going to do the correction as a two step process as in this video, wouldn't you be better off with the two XS products anyway?
Hey I have a 2021 ram 2500 brand new dealer waxed it and they installed swirls, I’m looking to use hd speed followed by sonax perfect finish.. wanted to know what you recommend after I polish I’m gonna coat it with ethos graphene matrix
Are NON-body shop safe compounds and polishes, in general, more user friendly as well as glossier and slicker? Should DIY's even bother with the designated body shop safe products? Thanks Brian.
Love your honesty, Im a driveway detailer only and finding myself buying so many different brand name products, ugh. Possibly may adventure to a neighbors driveway for a different car to detail.
Great video well explained can I ask1 question what’s the difference between cutting with a microfibre pad and a cutting foam pad is there more aggression with the MF pad or does it just do the job quicker because it generates heat faster
What is your favorite one step?
To be honest with you I've always use Menzerna products for correction. They just flat-out work right the first time. And their latest 2 for 1 and 3 for 1 products are even better. Use a Lake Country polishing with the flex 3401, or even the max shine 15 mm Pro or Torx 22d a polisher.
Apex Detail I have 3D ONE and a couple others but I’m going to clean out the containers very soon and minimize my choices to very few brands.
Griots Correction cream with a polishing pad 👌👌
Apex Detail I stocked up on 3D1 over the holiday sales. It’s still my fav so far.
3d speed for a true one step. I love that it won’t stain trim also.
Love how conscious you are about health and safety. I've cringed many times seeing people open a bottle of product and putting it right to their nose for a smell test.
Protecting skin, eyes, lungs & such from these products is very important.
Love the sandblasting cabinet for the pad blowout.
Awesome! I have Dynamic Cut that they sent to me and now I'm really excited to try it out!
Damn that's what's up phil!! Hopefully we see a video soon on it aswell.
Phil how did you like dynamic cut? And how was the wipe off?
Interesting as I have full 3d retail outlet 10 minutes from my house. And I know they sell the compounds and polishes in the smaller bottles as well as the large ones. Tks Brian
Wondering who push unlike when the video
only been uploaded 5 minutes ago and last 15 minutes?🤷♂️ love your videos Bryan 👍👍💪
At least they hit the sub and notification button to do so.
James Biedlar 😂Haters

As always thanks for taking the time. Happy holidays my friend
Great video and presentation. Thanks!
Very helpful comparison! Have to keep an eye on the XS products.
First used 3D One 2 months ago and I love it.
Love my 3D One ! And its easy to get in Canada..small or large format. but its cool Brian is testing all the time to see who's gonna be the New Kid in Town! loll! ;-)
Keep testing Bryan, every so often you might find a gem. Thanks. Love the videos.
Great video Brian. You teach me something new every time and I appreciate all you do for us!! Thank you

Hi Brian how would compare 3D one and VLR 503 to turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic polish and wax. Thanks again for the great videos.
Great demo Brian. Appreciate your time and effort.
Awesome video once again :) Thanks Brian
Here in the UK 3D products are hard to find. My favourite for one steps is Scholls S20 with the Scholls purple pad.
Thank you for this detailed video on this product
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
So far finding my favorite one step is from Sonax.
Question: What machine do you use for doing your paint depth testing?
Nice video. Couple of months ago, I jump to the 3D One. Easy to use product.
Xtreme products are surprisingly decent!
Cracking vid. Love the methodical scientific approach to each vid. I have just bought a 3 year old seat leon fr and am waiting to cut and polish with sonax perfect finish and ethos pro ceramic for coating. I also have a shinemate rotary ( new to use on bumpers etc) keep up the good work boss👍😎
Thanks for doing these videos !!! Your are AWESOME !!!
Great video as always Brian, I'd love to pay that amount for 3D ONE, I live in Barbados and I pay $100 Barbados dollars for 16oz, that's $50 US 😱😱😱
Great video Brian, 3D one all the way for me 👍
FYI per Lake Country their Prewashed Lambswool is more aggressive then their Purple Foamed Wool. See their aggression chart in their catalog.
Xtreme Solutions ! Nearby Bellmawt NJ can hang with 3D Meguiar's & P&S as far as I'm concerned. DD
what do you use after the 3D one for protecting if you don't mind me asking , and thank you for the great videos
I like 503 a lot , they have also updated to LVR500 diminishing cut. I like it a lot.
Tac Systems AIO , Xtreme Solutions 503 or Trifecta are my go to AIO's
Great comparison, 3DOne is one of my favorite
Hi buddy. Thanks for your good videos. I need to get hands on ONE. I just bought the HD speed and it is very good. I am from Portugal and I can only fine 3D products on ebay coming from the UK. The 16oz HD Speed cost me 28€.
Brian, you’re simply the best.🥇🏆
Because of you I’m going to buY and they the combo: 3D ACA500 (and “ONE”) with Uro-Fibre pads. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bells you.
*Question:*
1) Could you please post a link to exactly your Gloss meter using in your reviews and this video as well?
2) At [8:40] are you using the Rupes Ultra Fine White Pad?
What would you use as a sealant or finishing product?
Great tutorial vid. Great advice 👊✌️
How does 3D One compare to Sonax Perfect Finish which I understand can also be used as a pad dependent one step?
In one video, Brian said that 3D One reminded him of HD Cut when cutting, and Sonax Perfect Finish in It's finishing.
👆
Thank you Brian
Do you know if 3d one will stain trim/moldings Mr. Brian?? I know 3d speed won’t
It will not stain.
Great video!
I have a 2013 BMW 335i: lots of swirls and I wanted to know if the 3D One would work by itself to clear up all the swirls? Also, which pad should I use? I am not looking for show quality, it’s my daily driver but ai want a great shine before I apply ceramic coating afterwards. I have never used a DA polisher before but have just purchased my first one. I appreciate your insite and your content.
watched many of your videos and i have to say that you are the best, period...
Great comparison. If a new car has just some minor touch up needed, do you think either would work on the white pad or a black pad before coating?
Looks like LVR503 is more aggressive of a cut specked at P1200-P1500 sand paper. vs 3D One's P1500. Seems like 503 finishes down way better then most compounds that can cut P1200.
What harbor freight pads do you recommend for this 3D one step on a car that only has swirl marks and other small imperfections.
another great video again buddy
Too late already purchased 3D one, haven’t tried it yet.
I can only vouch for black, it is awesome!
Have you tried the McKee’s 37 360 all-in-one? I’ve seen great things said about it. It’s a diminishing polish/sealant, so there’s no dusting or product to really buff off either. Thx
I have their sio2 One step I am testing right now.
Apex Detail what is soi2? I hear that a lot. Is the 360 soi2? Thx Brian
I think I got it now, it’s a another name for the chemical compound composed of silicon and oxygen with the chemical formula SiO2, or silicon dioxide.
What are your thoughts on putting a sealant or wax on a coated vehicle ?
Taking a step backwards. I only apply designated toppers. Otherwise...you are just hiding the characteristics of the coating itself.
After 3D 1 do you use a finish polish? Is a all in one as good as a two step polish?
so pretty much is it just not realistic to have the paint looking defect-free when doing something like in this video? i did a car yesterday and although after being finished the car had defects in the paint, the paint was all cleared up from haziness and id say about 70% of all defects were gone. is that when you have to talk to the customer about expectation management?
What about Koch chemie f6?
So maybe finishing with 403 you’d get the extra gloss units but then that be a two step. Either way very nice I’ll be throwing it in the mix with Oberk speaking of Oberk Supreme cut does this cut better ?
I have a 2017 Maserati Granturismo in excellent condition about 8k miles. I would like to do a one-step correction polish and apply a ceramic/Graphit coating? Do you have any recommendations. I am not a professional detailer but more a weekend warrior. My goals are to correct minor blemishes, create a nice deep rich shine and create a bonding foundation for the ceramic. Thank you for your time.
Rotory!
How are both compared to 1and Done?
Excellent informative video ✊💎
Hi Brian, Thanks for the videos.
Do you always Compound & Polish? Can you just use polish to clean-up love marks?
When to use compound? When to use polish? Does polish cut?
Mail call answer maybe?
Great question for Mail Call.👍
Brian, would like to see you demo Ceram-x , on a black vehicle. They claim to be the best. Would like to know your feedback on this product
Great vid, thanks
I have a 2008 Mazda 3 would that have hard or soft clear coat?
I have became a huge fan of 3D products. Their products tends to be better than advertise. I tend to cheat with 3D One. I will do two cutting passes with a cutting pad and switch to a finishing pad, then wipe off residue. First hand experience, I would choose 3D One over Presta's two step. I would love to see 3D Speed vs P&S Playmaker, I usually use Playmaker for a hand polish and a little extra pop. The one product I can't wait for in the new year is Meg's M27 Hybrid Ceramic Sealant and their Surface prep.
Is flitz sealant any good?
I Brian
Are these products only available in the U.S?
I currently use Koch Chemie have you use these ? I get really good results with the rotary
Thanks
love your channel
I would love to review Chemie products...waiting for reliable distributors here.
FYI. Chemical guys has their Torque R. Rotary polisher with 4 samples of their compounds and 3 pads for 129.00 + tax !
I dont have a dual action polisher I have a rotary. I have an 03 s10 what pads would I use for the haze?
For haze alone...soft foam polish or finish pads.
Apex I coated a vehicle with CarPro lite a month ago on a 2019 gmc black truck. My client decided to take it to auto wash station. What can I use to polish all the water spots and overspray without removing the coating ? also when pre wash theirs no hydro beating but after I clean it with reload the hydro properties come back is it cause I’m losing coating or what’s your thoughts? Than you
CarPro Reset I meant ^
Use CarPro Essence Plus.
just use sour apc, or something else which is acid, you dont have to polish
🤘🏼🤘🏼I love 3D One 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Brian what about LVR 500 vs 3D One???
apparently the finishing of 500 is much better than 503
When will you/will you be upload videos looking in depth at Xtreme solutions products? 403 got some love, what about their waxes? I have their 403, 358, and 385. Their Xtreme suds soap is crazy good too. The suds last FOREVER
Great video. What glossmeter do you use and where did you get from? I’ve been looking at ordering a reasonably priced one but haven’t found any yet.
Have you tried the CSI CeramX one step product?
Great vid I was using the wrong 3d product just got the one you are talking about will let ya know if it helps
2015 Black Accord, Does this vehicle also have a thin clear coat? Thank you.
hi did you know if the 403 have filler
What was the soft white pad you used to finish out?
Hey Brian, my wife has a 2014 Mercedes CLA250. I was wondering if you knew if it has hard or soft clear?
What do you think about the euro 50/50 micro fiber pad with them I'm hearing a lot of buzz about that combo
Cheers Brian but I’ll stick to the 3D one for now 👍
At what point do you determine where "swirls,the ones you can see when the sun hits it just right,black paint" between a compound or a polish product.,dodge ram probably pretty tough clear coat.?
Ram clear is moderate to hard. Swirls pop up easily in direct sunlight.
@@apexdetail85 light compound or a polish product ? Those weird swirls,i didnt do them,used truck,hack prior owner? I,m sure you have seen this type of blemish many times,sun angles or where you stand etc.just want them gone or diminshed before i put down a sealant.thanks much,love your vids.vette looks killer,bet you hate to breathe on it let alone drive it.
Always start with the least aggressive option first and if that doesn't get the results try a different pad or step up to a compound.
Just Subbed. love the videos!
Thanks Brian!! If you have just to use angel wax resurrection, regenerate, redemption n perfection which would wld u start with on this same honda? Would u finish with perfect polish or redemption? Will these ever come close to 3d one in final gloss? Thank you
I would use Regenerate to cut and perfect polish to finish on the soft clear.
After watching video on separate screen. 3D One side looks much better to my eye. Could be half the lighting though.
The sun coming through the window didnt help much either. It was close...but for me...it is still 3D One.
Great video as always. What's better 3d One or 3D Speed?
3d speed leaves a protection behind which you would not want to do if you are ceramic coating the vehicle. It depends on your needs.
What is the paint depth on 2018/2019 VW's? Does it lean towards soft, medium or hard? Thanks for sharing your knowledge Brian! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Moderate...you should be getting readings of 4.3 to 5.1 as a whole.
I have found VW to lean toward the hard side. Found I had to step up the compound stage to 3D ACA 500 to get rid of heavy swirls and scratches.
I found 3D1 in the 8-oz but yet to try it. But as good as it performs for you, when do you pick something different as the finish polish?
Brian, how would you compare or where would you use LVR 403 vs LVR 503? ...again just trying to get a better handle on whether I need to buy both or one of them.. Thanks for your help.
I would use 403 on softer...darker finishes.
So the LYR 503 is their "cutting" compound that can be also be used as a one step depending on the pad and the LVR 403 is their lighter version that can be used as a one step, but is designed as a polishing glaze? So I'm assuming 3D One is somewhere in between? I noticed the Xtreme Solutions products are about 1/2 the price as the 3D One product, so you could buy the 503 and the 403 for about the same price as 3D One and have twice as much product... and possibly use each as the application(s) dictates.
Also, if I'm correct, and you're going to do the correction as a two step process as in this video, wouldn't you be better off with the two XS products anyway?
Just noticed the 503 is a little more expensive, the 403 is significantly cheaper though.
You are correct...503 has a little more bite. I would use 403 on softer clear.

Hey I have a 2021 ram 2500 brand new dealer waxed it and they installed swirls, I’m looking to use hd speed followed by sonax perfect finish.. wanted to know what you recommend after I polish I’m gonna coat it with ethos graphene matrix
Are NON-body shop safe compounds and polishes, in general, more user friendly as well as glossier and slicker? Should DIY's even bother with the designated body shop safe products? Thanks Brian.
DIY do not have to worry about it.
Brian how does this compare to anglewax enigma aio?
I understand it lays down protection but other than that how does it fair?
Love your honesty, Im a driveway detailer only and finding myself buying so many different brand name products, ugh. Possibly may adventure to a neighbors driveway for a different car to detail.
Great video well explained can I ask1 question what’s the difference between cutting with a microfibre pad and a cutting foam pad is there more aggression with the MF pad or does it just do the job quicker because it generates heat faster
The massive surface area of microfiber, combined with how the fibers are "tuned" give it the cut over foam.

That’s the MaxShine White pad right ?
Brain, applying a ceramic (average consumer grade) how often would you recommend a 1step?
Just one time before applying the coating.
