Used this product today for the first time ever. First time using a DA also. Paired it with the microfiber cutting pad on my red 12 year old fn2 type r and wow. The car looks brand new again. 4 section passes and that was it. Didn't even need the polish. Fantastic review as always Scott
@@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343 It's true, Scott you are in my top 3. However, you are the only one I am subscribed to. Thank you! This is the day after Christmas, hope you, your family and friends are well. Bless you sir. And have a happy New year!!
My shopping cart grows overtime I watch one of your videos! Thank you so much for giving us real world details about products. I'm just getting into maintaining my truck and I've only purchased products that you've discussed. :)
sorry John:)..remember you don't need everything to start out..try to keep it simple if you can, but this product when used with a foam pad is great for beginners and gets a lot of work done and makes many happy with their daily drivers..much love John:)
Thank you. Just finished off using 105/205 today on my daily driver. I'm hoping its just Ultimate Fast Finish or AIO for the next 12 months. Looking forward to a D166 video, maybe comparing it to HD Speed or Griots Finishing Sealant. Thanks again for the videos, all the views and subscribers show that you are helping a LOT of us out in the real world.
Hi Scott, greeting from Puerto Rico. I’ve been following you some time ago. I learn a lot with your advice and hope never quit making videos, thanks for that. ✌🏼👍🏼
Scott, you are totally right. I was blown away when I first used D300. I hate using M105, I am a mobile detailer and that product has no working time and dusts like crazy when used outside. I have tried all the tricks (using wet pads, adding mineral oil as a pad primer, etc) and I could never get it to work nicelly. D300 has excellent correction and is a charm to work with.
You are helping in a great way ! I cannot thank you enough ! Not only are you helping but your videos are just good to watch because your good at talking .
For all you Range Rover owners with the super soft black pillars that scratch up and look terrible, this technique described here works perfectly. I have never used a polisher in my life, but I bought one, bought the Meguiars D300 and orange cutting pads, watched tons of RUclips vidoes to learn technique, and went at it. The pillars on my 2018 Range Rover Dynamic were ridiculously scratched and ugly, while the rest of my car is MINT. After I finished this one step process, they look brand new. Each pillar literally takes about 5 minutes and they come out perfect. No swirls or scratched remain. JUST FYI, I tried one pillar with a white pad and the results weren't nearly as good. D300 with orange cutting pads is the correct solution for this specific issue.
Been detailing for 15 yrs now and the D300 series is by far the best correction compound and wax I've ever used.. My personal favorite.. Along with their micro fiber pads..
Thanks Scott. You are so helpful for us "weekend warriors". Getting ready to do a one step on my Dodge Ram 1500. Was planning on going with Griots but going with your recommendation and use Meguiar's D-300 instead!! Truly appreciate all of your experience and willingness to share. God Bless you!!
Scott your the best! I am an absolute novice when it comes to detailing cars I only work on my wife and my cars. I have been watching your videos for a few months now and your knowledge and straightforwardness has given me the confidence to really work on our cars. I had an issue with my accord where i used detailing spray on a very hot car and it left some ugly marks. It looked like the clear coat had streaks and camo patterns on it. I tride a bunch of things till I decided that I needed to use a DA. I watched your video on the Harbor Freight DA and got that and the Lake country pads and backing plate. I did what you said with no pressure with moderate speed using HD Speed. It came out great I was able to remove the defects. I am also on the Super Clean band waggon and I have been useing VRP dilluted for interior. I am still very intimadated about doing a engine bay cleaning I also don't have a leaf blower. Keep up the good work I look forward to your videos and learning as much as I can.
Tk you I just used this product on my 1996 black cobra still stock paint from factory man I have tried all kinds of products in the past and this stuff blew my mind it work awesome and the used the sealant and used fast finish. I tried my lady headlights with the d300 compound on her car and they were toasted burnt yellow and in literally took 4 mins per headlight no sanding or anything and they look like I just bought them over the weekend for Memorial Day had friends come over they thought I put a paint job on the car and this car was pretty hammered too thank you so much for helping people that love there cars but are on a tight budget
Great videos Scott! Thanks for taking the time. Your description of this D300 sounds identical to the Mequiars Ultimate compound, which I use and love.
I used the ultimate compound with their red foam cutting disc (5inch) and it did not remove allot of scratches. Should I go for microfiber + d300 for the deeper Scratches or will it not make allot of difference??? Ps: I'm working on a bmw E38 7serie
Appreciate this video. Haven't been able to find a lot out there on D300. I've had really good luck with D300 and an orange griots low profile pad. I usually follow it up with with 3 passes of D302 and a black griots pad and get a fantastic shine.
Thanks much for this video... with it and the D300 I was able to learn the techniques to get beautiful finishes on my Lincoln Navigator and Infiniti M35x, both jet black.
D300 is designed to be finished with D301 finishing wax. Its not designed to be a one-step. Works wonders with removing heavy defects on dark colored paint/with Microfiber. It will need a 2nd step to finish it off as you can imagine
This stuff is magic! I have never polished or use DA on any car/truck. I'm 60 and if I can use a Harbor Freight DA w/orange hex logic and get results anyone can. I have an '06 Ram 4X4 and the D300 melts the scratches and spider webs away. Thank you Scott I'm ordering a gallon of this compound. I don't know how to protect my 4X4 Ram when it's 112 in the Arizona summer. Know of any high temp products to use? Thank you.
Hi scott. Love your videos. Most of the time when I need detailing advice I go back to your videos. Im also starting my own detailing business and your videos really helped. Thanks and Godbless
Hey Scott. Can you make a video of what is dusting, what it looks like and how to get rid of it? Your videos are great and very descriptive. Thank you for your knowledge.
Scott like watching u I've gotten a few helpful hints One thing I would like to see u do is a full car detail from start to finish just see to see what u do to evaluate what all needs to be done maybe done on a car that's not been done on a regular basis
Thank you so much for all your videos, Scott! The information you present is invaluable and has helped me a lot to select the right compound and how to detail properly!
i ve used Ultimate Compound with a compound pad and my car has swirls all over....because of the hard pad....Now i have to buy the Correction Compound and with a polisher pad , i hope i can remove all the swirls from my car!
TY for the videos about the various products out there and what your opinions are on their uses. Hope you have a safe Turkey day. Ive been asked to polish up a friends 2011 white Jeep Wrangler. He wants it ready for Holiday parades for his Jeep club. Ill be using many of your techniques and recommendations. But next is a friends '89 vette with a black re-paint job thats very very so all your videos will be of great help. Ty again, peace.
Hey Scott awesome video. That's one thing I did notice was the no dusting with the D300 when I first used it. And since I have bought the meguaires correction system. N been amazed with the system. Thanks again. N wish the best also for you. Happy thanksgiving.
I usually don't leave comments, but this was a great PSA and helpful review. Nice job. I may have to add D300 to the arsenal. Right now I usually use chemical guys VSS and despite their marketing BS it's not bad, but it's definitely not that easy to wipe off and it's a little more aggressive than I'd like for a one stage on dark cars.
Wolfgang Uber all in one, is awesome one step and low to no dust and price is about he same on the wholesale side. Griots is great also you say you have problem with wipe off. Kind of makes me wonder why i never had a problem with wipe off in direct sunlight. Great videos just found your channel and very good on what you do and inform your viewers.
I’ve been watching your videos for the past 2 hours and i learned so much from you in that little amount of time. Love your channel man keep up the awesome work and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
wow im so grateful!..thank you so much but take a break..lol..the videos will always be here for you:)...much love and happy thanksgiving as well Fernando
Hi Scott, I want to let everyone know Scott is the real deal. I recently bought some products from him from one of his promotions, incorrectly I might add and he honored the promotion anyway . He personally boxed and sent them too me. Class act! Scott can I use the d300 prior to applying your Shield? I think I now have one of everything from your store.....Trust is everything, thank and keep building that brand I want to buy all my product from you. I forgot I haven't bought your aio polish yet. Which would be best? Customer for life! Chip
Great video Scott. I've been using D300 for years and absolutely love it. With my experience it can be harder to remove off of hot paint compared to HD speed, but I use a microfiber vs's a foam pad if that makes any difference. I do think it provides more shine and gloss than HD Speed.
you also have to remember HD speed wouldn't be a pick for me as a pro to do a traditional one step to remove moderate defects off the paint because HD speed is a correction GLAZE..what you see isn't always what you get because HD speed hides defects as well because of its filling capabilities ...you get a lot of gloss from HD speed because it is a glaze vs D300..but D300 will give you true defect removal unless you want to do an IPA wipe down after HD speed to see what you truly did, but than your wiping away the protection from HD speed:)..so when i tell a client i can remove moderate defects off the paint permanently, i would pick D300 over HD speed so my commitment to my customer is transparent and true:)
Scott, Awesome video yet again, I have learned so much from your tutorials. As a side hustle detailer and car enthusiast, I greatly appreciate the straight talk. I have D300, D301 finishing wax & D302 polish, Since D300 doesn't lay down any protection, would you recommend using D301 or D302 and finish off with Menzerna Powerlock & add richness and glow with Menzerna Color lock. Your thoughts? Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family my friend!
I wanna thank u too Scott for putting a dent in my bank account, purchasing all your recommended products..haven’t made any money detailing but my vehicles sure do look nice lol
oh I'm so sorry:)...you don't have to buy everything but i like giving you guys options and more information so you make the best choice for yourself...much love and have a beautiful thanksgiving:)
Hi There Scott, I've been doing professional detailing since 2000 here in beautiful San Diego Cali. Love your videos keep up the good work. Your info it's been helpful to me and your product review's help me decide in certain products if I want to try them or stick to the ones I've been using for years. I haven't seen any videos on how you apply your dressing on tires? Do you apply by: 1. brush? 2.sponge? 3.towel? I like some input on this topic if you can... God bless and thanks for keeping it REAL!
I wonder how this compares to the new 3 in 1 that megs just came out with. I just used that product and it was pretty good for an AIO. This can be bought in gallons though.
Looks like maybe some slight hazing on your black panel after you applied the D300. I certainly have some after applying it to my black Tesla Model 3 with orange Lake County pads. What’s the best option for me to remove it? Would Ultimate Polish with a white Lake County pad work ok?
I wish I could find that locally. In 3 weeks I have amassed over 20 bottles of various things, a DA polisher you recommended, over 20 microfiber cloths, an air compressor, clay bars, synthetic clay bars, I could go on and on. You would think I own a huge detailing business. I go to sleep listening to your videos. I've watched probably 20 hours worth. Thank you thank you thank you. Next time I'm in Dallas I'm shaking your hand for my newly renewed passion. But I have a problem. Ultimate compound is flashing too quick. It didn't the first time I used it with a cheap harbor freight cutting pad, but with this Griot's microfiber pad, it's so fast. I need something else I can find locally. Please help.
Hey scott. Awesome content, like always. I've been watching your content for a few weeks. Picked up a Griot's 6 DA with Meguiar's microfiber Cut and Finish pads with M302 and M300. Along with Iron-x, Purple power boat/rv cleaner, IPA Prep and clay bar to prep the surface. I've got a 2001 ws6 trans am that i'm going to be doing a full paint correction on along with my '12 yukon denali. Both I feel have some pretty aggressive defects, so i wanted to go into it with a good cutting ability. First time doing any sort of paint correction, figured i'd try my hand at it. Now i'm second guessing using microfibers, I was convinced it would work well and went with it. Also bought it all in 6". I believe you said this will have less cutting/polishing power having the larger pad, do you recommend I get smaller backing plate+pads for greater polishing abilities? Also, in this video you used the cross-hash method for polishing instead of the straight over and down method in another demonstration. Is there a particular reason for the cross-hash in this video or was it just how you chose to do it in this particular instance? Sorry for the long winded comment and rambling, just kind of left scratching my head. ALOT of details to go over and will be a tedious task for sure.
Hey scott i love your videos and info but all the products are enough to make my head explode can you make a video on what you would keep on hand if you were not a pro detailer...im not afraid to spend money but i don't want 5 different polishes that do the same thing....thanks and keep filming
my head wants to explode sometimes too:)..yes as a pro i do have more products than someone just trying to take care of one or two cars..if your looking for a great but simple polish system, i would stick with the BOSS system with Griots Garage..so great for beginners or those who just need to maintain their personal vehicles and want a great polish system that can tackle most jobs
Dallas I want to know how do you fell about, after using a polish or compound, use a spray wax afterwards to help remove the dust, and give a extra shing. To much or does it hurt the finish
Do you need to follow this with a fine polish or does this product finish well enough to move on to sealing. Obviously it depends on how it actually looks for the specific paint but in general does this fit ish well enough to be done correcting if the scratches are gone?
If you were experiencing hazing with a microfiber pad and something like d300 or griots correcting creme, could you do a few section passes with the microfiber pad and then switch out to a less agressive foam pad for the last few passes? I mean not wiping off the panel or anything, just using a primed foam pad with the same compound. It's an idea I've been toying around with and haven't tried yet.
Good stuff here... to the point and honest, watching these vids has gotten me started on polishing my own vehichles. What's a good system to use on a 2018 vehicle, 1500 miles. Little to no scratches, silver Accord. I have the Harbor Freight DA polisher and megs DA system which worked perfect for a 5 year old vehichle. Any help appreciated after watching your all in one vids
Scott, Happy turkey day. Thank you for your advise and support and congratulations on the success of your channel. Have you ever though of speeding up the part where you use the DA? Perhaps show the first pass or half the first pass "live" and then the rest at some faster video speed? I dont know, just a thought. Thanks again for the help and guidance you provide.
hello Scott ?, it will be great to team up d300 with rupes 9.BW180M yellow and 9.BW180H blue wool pad? i just seen your video talking about that pad and i want to know if it will be good to use them both thanks Scott ....... i will appreciate your feedback PS: im using a 21mm DA
My 2015 F-150 Tuxedo Black Metallic paint is in good shape can i use the D300 to go after two or three light scratches with a DA or do you have to do whole vehicle once you decide to go this route newbie here any help would be appreciated
Great vid Scott! Hope Thanksgiving was nice & relaxing for you and yours!! Too cold in Fargo for polishing in the garage for a while! 27deg now as I type in the wee hours. Stuck in a foot cast for 3 more weeks. 3 screws in my foot now....uffda!
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing - Thanks Scott! That means a lot! Had flat-foot surgery. The bottom tendon had ruptured too! Back in April, had right-shoulder Rotator-Cuff surgery.
Thank you so much for the AMAZING content! Learned so much and I'm in the process of ordering Griots correcting pads, an astro backing plate, and a harbor freight DA. I've always wanted to try "paint correcting" but never knew how. You're greatly appreciated. Just one question. Could I use M105 and follow up with Griots Fast Correcting Cream? Going after scratches, swirl markers, and faded clear on a black car?? Thanks in advance!
thank you so much!..much love my friend:)...to answer your question, both M105 and Griots Fast Correcting Cream are what we call leveling compounds, they are both aggressive compounds that go after moderate or deep defects on the paint..just pick one of the compounds ( i would recommend Griots Fast Correcting cream) for your initial cut of the clear coat if your going after moderate or deep defects than follow up with a Finish polish like M205 or Groits Perfecting Cream...it would not be recommended to use M105 and Follow with Griots Fast Correcting Cream, thats way to aggressive and not needed..when doing a 2 step correction we use just ONE compound and than Follow with a light finish polish...hope that helps and much love my friend:)
Hello Scott, I want to ask you a question, which pad would be better to correct and polish a black Ford Explorer, in very hot conditions I mean temperature, Microfiber Meguiars or a normal sponge I would appreciate one I recommend because I live in Colleyville, Texas but I want to bring products to do it in Honduras where the temperature is high and the humidity of the climate is also very high ... Thanks for your clear videos without deception or marketing lies ... a huge hug
Edgar Gomez you can always do a test spot for each. But my money will be on micro fiber for compounding. Foam for polishing. Especially for deep swirls
some you may have to live with:(....what compound did you use and with what pad?...also what DA do you have if in fact your using a DA?...also what make and model of vehicle?
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing 2014 Chevy Impala 13k miles. (Maintained by the dealer :( ) I used my flex 3401. I tried lake country orange pad with Griot's corrections cream then m105. Then tried with an aggressive yellow pad with both. Followed with m205. I also tried microfiber pad with 105 (I think I need to replace that mf pad though)
perhaps a more aggressive compound like jescar cutting compound or soanx cutmax could help...some rids may be to deep to remove or require a little wet sanding before compounding...sometimes we are limited with a DA and a rotary will do it:)..if you don't have rotary experience, have you done much wet sanding before?...are the rids in isolated areas are all over the place?...don't you just love dealerships..lol
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing sadly RIDS are all over the place. I've wet sanded some but don't want to go crazy until I perfect my wash regime. Don't get me wrong, the car looks great. But people like you and I can spot the scratches. I have a buddy that details on the side and is fantastic with the rotary. Maybe I'll live with some and cover it with ceramic so I can gain some sanity back. Happy thanksgiving my friend! Oh and one other thing, what about Menzerna? If that is good, which one would you recommend?
Hi Scott. Your videos are great. Here is my question. I have a 2001 Speedway White Corvette Z06. I show it in car shows. It has slight / moderate swirl marks with a beautiful deep shine. Do you recommend D300 followed up by a wax and then Ultimate Fast Finish, or use D151 AIO followed up by Fast Finish? You have taught me so much watching your videos. Also want to know if you stopped using the Harbor Freight DA. I bought one after watching your videos, but you now use a different brand DA in your videos.
well chevy tends to have hard clear coats..i think D300 with a orange foam medium cut pad would work great for light to moderate swirls on the paint..if i was to use D300 i would follow up with fast finish alone for protection..but with that said you are welcome to apply a carnauba based wax first than wait a few hours and apply fast finish over that..the reason for that is because you say you display the car at car shows..a carnauba based wax will give you a nice wet warm look to the paint and great for car shows and the fast finish you apply over it will help to lock in the wet look from the carnauba a little longer..i hope that helps Robert
Thanks so much Scott. Now I know what to tell people I want for Christmas! Still wondering if you gave up on the Harbor Freight DA polisher. Never see it in your videos. All the best to you, Bob Henn
Hey Scott what about JESCAR correcting compound on comparison to the D300 and the correcting compound? I've heard it finished very well even with a microfiber pad
jescar is amazing but i would only use it for deep defect removal and follow up with a polish...D300 isn't as aggressive as jescar so its hard to compare
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing ...true but what about the results you get? I ask because I used it on my Abarth in the spring and when I pulled it outside in the sun after a wash afterwards before I coated it my eyes watered because of how good it looked, the metalflake just POPPED!

Actually reminds me a lot of Ultimate Compound.
D300+D151 works good too. Topped off with M21/M27/Finish Kare Hi Temp.
Wolfgang Uber all in one, is awesome one step and low to no dust and price is about he same on the wholesale side. Griots is great also you say you have problem with wipe off. Kind of makes me wonder why i never had a problem with wipe off in direct sunlight. Great videos just found your channel and very good on what you do and inform your viewers.
I’ve been watching your videos for the past 2 hours and i learned so much from you in that little amount of time. Love your channel man keep up the awesome work and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
wow im so grateful!..thank you so much but take a break..lol..the videos will always be here for you:)...much love and happy thanksgiving as well Fernando
Hi Scott, I want to let everyone know Scott is the real deal. I recently bought some products from him from one of his promotions, incorrectly I might add and he honored the promotion anyway . He personally boxed and sent them too me. Class act! Scott can I use the d300 prior to applying your Shield? I think I now have one of everything from your store.....Trust is everything, thank and keep building that brand I want to buy all my product from you. I forgot I haven't bought your aio polish yet. Which would be best? Customer for life! Chip
Great video Scott. I've been using D300 for years and absolutely love it. With my experience it can be harder to remove off of hot paint compared to HD speed, but I use a microfiber vs's a foam pad if that makes any difference. I do think it provides more shine and gloss than HD Speed.
you also have to remember HD speed wouldn't be a pick for me as a pro to do a traditional one step to remove moderate defects off the paint because HD speed is a correction GLAZE..what you see isn't always what you get because HD speed hides defects as well because of its filling capabilities ...you get a lot of gloss from HD speed because it is a glaze vs D300..but D300 will give you true defect removal unless you want to do an IPA wipe down after HD speed to see what you truly did, but than your wiping away the protection from HD speed:)..so when i tell a client i can remove moderate defects off the paint permanently, i would pick D300 over HD speed so my commitment to my customer is transparent and true:)
Scott, Awesome video yet again, I have learned so much from your tutorials. As a side hustle detailer and car enthusiast, I greatly appreciate the straight talk. I have D300, D301 finishing wax & D302 polish, Since D300 doesn't lay down any protection, would you recommend using D301 or D302 and finish off with Menzerna Powerlock & add richness and glow with Menzerna Color lock. Your thoughts? Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family my friend!
Yea I used d300 I like that and the reconditiing cream together topped off with the m26 and the sealant 2.0
very cool..i really like D300..thanks for your comment and have a safe holiday..much love Michael:)
I wanna thank u too Scott for putting a dent in my bank account, purchasing all your recommended products..haven’t made any money detailing but my vehicles sure do look nice lol
oh I'm so sorry:)...you don't have to buy everything but i like giving you guys options and more information so you make the best choice for yourself...much love and have a beautiful thanksgiving:)
Just messing with u, happy thanksgiving and keep up the great educational videos...happy detailing
Hi There Scott,
I've been doing professional detailing since 2000 here in beautiful San Diego Cali. Love your videos keep up the good work. Your info it's been helpful to me and your product review's help me decide in certain products if I want to try them or stick to the ones I've been using for years.
I haven't seen any videos on how you apply your dressing on tires?
Do you apply by:
1. brush?
2.sponge?
3.towel?
I like some input on this topic if you can...
God bless and thanks for keeping it REAL!
Great vid Scott and thank you for all the advice you give. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
thank you so much...much love to you and your family:)...happy thanksgiving!!
I wonder how this compares to the new 3 in 1 that megs just came out with. I just used that product and it was pretty good for an AIO. This can be bought in gallons though.
Looks like maybe some slight hazing on your black panel after you applied the D300. I certainly have some after applying it to my black Tesla Model 3 with orange Lake County pads. What’s the best option for me to remove it? Would Ultimate Polish with a white Lake County pad work ok?
I wish I could find that locally. In 3 weeks I have amassed over 20 bottles of various things, a DA polisher you recommended, over 20 microfiber cloths, an air compressor, clay bars, synthetic clay bars, I could go on and on. You would think I own a huge detailing business. I go to sleep listening to your videos. I've watched probably 20 hours worth. Thank you thank you thank you. Next time I'm in Dallas I'm shaking your hand for my newly renewed passion. But I have a problem. Ultimate compound is flashing too quick. It didn't the first time I used it with a cheap harbor freight cutting pad, but with this Griot's microfiber pad, it's so fast. I need something else I can find locally. Please help.
As usual Scott, great videos and I always do look forward to your videos. God bless and Happy Thanksgiving
wow this was 3 years ago??? I thought this upload was yesterday !!
Scott if you say this stuff is good, it's good. I just bought the kit , the extra cut disc , and and polish.
Is the D300 sun friendly? D166 is sun friendly
Jesus loves you Scott and so do all of us. Happy Thanksgiving.🍁
Ed Sugg maybe he just loves detailing?
Hey scott. Awesome content, like always. I've been watching your content for a few weeks. Picked up a Griot's 6 DA with Meguiar's microfiber Cut and Finish pads with M302 and M300. Along with Iron-x, Purple power boat/rv cleaner, IPA Prep and clay bar to prep the surface. I've got a 2001 ws6 trans am that i'm going to be doing a full paint correction on along with my '12 yukon denali. Both I feel have some pretty aggressive defects, so i wanted to go into it with a good cutting ability. First time doing any sort of paint correction, figured i'd try my hand at it. Now i'm second guessing using microfibers, I was convinced it would work well and went with it. Also bought it all in 6". I believe you said this will have less cutting/polishing power having the larger pad, do you recommend I get smaller backing plate+pads for greater polishing abilities? Also, in this video you used the cross-hash method for polishing instead of the straight over and down method in another demonstration. Is there a particular reason for the cross-hash in this video or was it just how you chose to do it in this particular instance? Sorry for the long winded comment and rambling, just kind of left scratching my head. ALOT of details to go over and will be a tedious task for sure.
Do you lubricate the foam pad before you use it.
Thank You Scott. Important information
D30032 vs d30016, what are the main differences? I can't find any answers online.
Hey scott i love your videos and info but all the products are enough to make my head explode can you make a video on what you would keep on hand if you were not a pro detailer...im not afraid to spend money but i don't want 5 different polishes that do the same thing....thanks and keep filming
my head wants to explode sometimes too:)..yes as a pro i do have more products than someone just trying to take care of one or two cars..if your looking for a great but simple polish system, i would stick with the BOSS system with Griots Garage..so great for beginners or those who just need to maintain their personal vehicles and want a great polish system that can tackle most jobs
Have you determined if there are a lot of "fillers" in the d300? If you do a panel wipe afterwards, are the defects still present?
Interesting. I’ll have to give that one a try. As I work in the sun a lot.
its a great medium compound and it works great in the sun when i use it with a foam cutting pad..much love and happy thanksgiving:)
Dallas
I want to know how do you fell about, after using a polish or compound, use a spray wax afterwards to help remove the dust, and give a extra shing. To much or does it hurt the finish
Thank you too your video's have been really helpful.
Scott Is D300 a finer compound compared to Scholl S2o Black??? Love your vids buddy!
Happy Thanksgiving Scott, as always thanks for the tip.
happy thanksgiving Kurt...enjoy and be safe:)
Excellent VIDEO
Do you need to follow this with a fine polish or does this product finish well enough to move on to sealing.
Obviously it depends on how it actually looks for the specific paint but in general does this fit ish well enough to be done correcting if the scratches are gone?
Thankful for you sharing so much ! Best regards to you & your family
If you were experiencing hazing with a microfiber pad and something like d300 or griots correcting creme, could you do a few section passes with the microfiber pad and then switch out to a less agressive foam pad for the last few passes? I mean not wiping off the panel or anything, just using a primed foam pad with the same compound. It's an idea I've been toying around with and haven't tried yet.
Nice review! How it when compare to 3D ONE?
Hi. Why don't you do a wipe down to remove the oils to show the true result?
Excellent VIDEO REVIEW
Good stuff here... to the point and honest, watching these vids has gotten me started on polishing my own vehichles. What's a good system to use on a 2018 vehicle, 1500 miles. Little to no scratches, silver Accord. I have the Harbor Freight DA polisher and megs DA system which worked perfect for a 5 year old vehichle. Any help appreciated after watching your all in one vids
What would you top it with?
Scott,
Happy turkey day. Thank you for your advise and support and congratulations on the success of your channel. Have you ever though of speeding up the part where you use the DA? Perhaps show the first pass or half the first pass "live" and then the rest at some faster video speed?
I dont know, just a thought.
Thanks again for the help and guidance you provide.
can you use it with rupes big foot wool pad med.cutt. with DA. the D300 compound
Try it on a test area bro
Scott I really don't have to use polish after using this compound? Also after using compound, can I use meguair's ultimate fast finish?
I miss you buddy Scott where are you!
hello Scott ?, it will be great to team up d300 with rupes 9.BW180M yellow and 9.BW180H blue wool pad? i just seen your video talking about that pad and i want to know if it will be good to use them both thanks Scott ....... i will appreciate your feedback PS: im using a 21mm DA
New weekend warrior here. What's the difference between using a fiber pad and foam pad?
Hey Scott, have you ever heard of Top Coat F11 products?
My 2015 F-150 Tuxedo Black Metallic paint is in good shape can i use the D300 to go after two or three light scratches with a DA or do you have to do whole vehicle once you decide to go this route newbie here any help would be appreciated
Still feel the same or is there something better now?
This stuff is amazing, Thanks for the info.
Great vid Scott! Hope Thanksgiving was nice & relaxing for you and yours!! Too cold in Fargo for polishing in the garage for a while! 27deg now as I type in the wee hours. Stuck in a foot cast for 3 more weeks. 3 screws in my foot now....uffda!
wow..i hope you feel better..much love Faron:)
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing - Thanks Scott! That means a lot! Had flat-foot surgery. The bottom tendon had ruptured too! Back in April, had right-shoulder Rotator-Cuff surgery.
Yes on the Meguliars on the m105
Thank you so much for the AMAZING content! Learned so much and I'm in the process of ordering Griots correcting pads, an astro backing plate, and a harbor freight DA. I've always wanted to try "paint correcting" but never knew how. You're greatly appreciated. Just one question. Could I use M105 and follow up with Griots Fast Correcting Cream? Going after scratches, swirl markers, and faded clear on a black car?? Thanks in advance!
thank you so much!..much love my friend:)...to answer your question, both M105 and Griots Fast Correcting Cream are what we call leveling compounds, they are both aggressive compounds that go after moderate or deep defects on the paint..just pick one of the compounds ( i would recommend Griots Fast Correcting cream) for your initial cut of the clear coat if your going after moderate or deep defects than follow up with a Finish polish like M205 or Groits Perfecting Cream...it would not be recommended to use M105 and Follow with Griots Fast Correcting Cream, thats way to aggressive and not needed..when doing a 2 step correction we use just ONE compound and than Follow with a light finish polish...hope that helps and much love my friend:)
Wish u all the best man 🌹🌹🌹
Hello Scott, I want to ask you a question, which pad would be better to correct and polish a black Ford Explorer, in very hot conditions I mean temperature, Microfiber Meguiars or a normal sponge I would appreciate one I recommend because I live in Colleyville, Texas but I want to bring products to do it in Honduras where the temperature is high and the humidity of the climate is also very high ... Thanks for your clear videos without deception or marketing lies ... a huge hug
Edgar Gomez you can always do a test spot for each. But my money will be on micro fiber for compounding. Foam for polishing. Especially for deep swirls
Need a heavy defect removal video Scott. Got my first personal black car. Swirls are gone in a snap. RIDS are giving me fits! Can't get rid of them.
some you may have to live with:(....what compound did you use and with what pad?...also what DA do you have if in fact your using a DA?...also what make and model of vehicle?
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing 2014 Chevy Impala 13k miles. (Maintained by the dealer :( ) I used my flex 3401. I tried lake country orange pad with Griot's corrections cream then m105. Then tried with an aggressive yellow pad with both. Followed with m205. I also tried microfiber pad with 105 (I think I need to replace that mf pad though)
perhaps a more aggressive compound like jescar cutting compound or soanx cutmax could help...some rids may be to deep to remove or require a little wet sanding before compounding...sometimes we are limited with a DA and a rotary will do it:)..if you don't have rotary experience, have you done much wet sanding before?...are the rids in isolated areas are all over the place?...don't you just love dealerships..lol
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing sadly RIDS are all over the place. I've wet sanded some but don't want to go crazy until I perfect my wash regime. Don't get me wrong, the car looks great. But people like you and I can spot the scratches. I have a buddy that details on the side and is fantastic with the rotary. Maybe I'll live with some and cover it with ceramic so I can gain some sanity back. Happy thanksgiving my friend! Oh and one other thing, what about Menzerna? If that is good, which one would you recommend?
Is that a 5 inch pad your using on a 5 inch backing plate?
Could this remove etched water spots??
Jack Klnet yes it is very possible. I’ve used the orange pad/correcting cream combination to remove etched water spots before.
What its wrong too not use the microfiber pad, 🤔
your videos are great ! you are a character !
What not use DMC5 pad together with D300 ????
Hi Scott. Your videos are great. Here is my question. I have a 2001 Speedway White Corvette Z06. I show it in car shows. It has slight / moderate swirl marks with a beautiful deep shine. Do you recommend D300 followed up by a wax and then Ultimate Fast Finish, or use D151 AIO followed up by Fast Finish? You have taught me so much watching your videos. Also want to know if you stopped using the Harbor Freight DA. I bought one after watching your videos, but you now use a different brand DA in your videos.
well chevy tends to have hard clear coats..i think D300 with a orange foam medium cut pad would work great for light to moderate swirls on the paint..if i was to use D300 i would follow up with fast finish alone for protection..but with that said you are welcome to apply a carnauba based wax first than wait a few hours and apply fast finish over that..the reason for that is because you say you display the car at car shows..a carnauba based wax will give you a nice wet warm look to the paint and great for car shows and the fast finish you apply over it will help to lock in the wet look from the carnauba a little longer..i hope that helps Robert
Thanks so much Scott. Now I know what to tell people I want for Christmas! Still wondering if you gave up on the Harbor Freight DA polisher. Never see it in your videos. All the best to you, Bob Henn
Hey Scott what about JESCAR correcting compound on comparison to the D300 and the correcting compound? I've heard it finished very well even with a microfiber pad
jescar is amazing but i would only use it for deep defect removal and follow up with a polish...D300 isn't as aggressive as jescar so its hard to compare
U are great ! U talk like one of my school teacher !
Scott could would you use the mequiars fast wax after the d300 to give the car more of a pop on a black car??
love your videos
yes that would be my pick after using D300:)...but you can use any wax or sealant you enjoy as well after D300
Megs D300 & HD speed are going to be purchased in the off-season 😉
Scott, what do you think of Optimum hyper polish?
hyper polish is good...really good for beginners because its one squeeze of the trigger onto the pad and your ready to go:)
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing ...true but what about the results you get? I ask because I used it on my Abarth in the spring and when I pulled it outside in the sun after a wash afterwards before I coated it my eyes watered because of how good it looked, the metalflake just POPPED!
sounds like you really enjoy it and thats awesome..i would continue to use it if you got such great results..dont you think?
