    I just wanted to take a minute to thank you. I am a true beginner in the auto detailing world, and I'm a female in this male dominated industry. But your videos have truly been a great help to me. I've watched a few different RUclipsrs, but you by far break it down to a simple level where is beginners can't go wrong. You're not long and drawn out but very knowledgeable, which is great. I can sense your humility, and I just wanted to say it is much appreciated. Keep up the amazing work!

    Scott, recently purchased a 2009 Honda Accord coupe low milage from a dealership, loaded with swirl marks and light scratches, after watching most of your paint correction videos I purchased a Harbor Freight DA and Meguiar's d300 and d301 with microfiber pads and proceeded to buff and polish the car - using your videos as a guide - I owe you a big thank you - car turned out outstanding. Now have to dread the New England weather for a spell. THANK YOU - Your videos were invaluable!

    • @cgasieni
      @cgasieni 5 лет назад

      I have a 2010 Honda Accord coupe BLACK and have been watching as many videos as I can to do the same. Trying to pick out what I need and technique to get started. I'm sure black paint requires special compound and polish and different touch. Anything you can share to help?

    • @jdisdetermined
      @jdisdetermined 5 лет назад +2

      cgasieni black paint polishes the same as any other color. It is just incredibly revealing of imperfections. I'd recommend starting out with something like the Chemical Guys correction kit, $50 gets you #32 heavy cut compound #34 medium compound #36 light cut polish and #38 finish polish. It's good to start with less aggressive products and work your way up until you get results. If you have heavy defects and deep scratches you may need a microfiber pad for strong cutting ability. Otherwise I'd recommend sticking with foam pads, just all around easier to use. Chemical Guys make a great foam kit. There are many other pad options, they are just what I prefer. I'd start with a mid level, less expensive but still capable DA. Meguiars MT-300, Porter Cable 7424XP, something in that range. If you catch the detail bug you can always upgrade to a high end DA and use the first one with a 3" plate and pads for tight areas. A 3" will come in very handy in some spots on almost any vehicle.. Have fun, it's addictive! These are my opinions based on my experience, others may differ.. =)

    I completely agree with your statement regarding the HF 8" that its a fantastic tool for working your skillset. Start with it and it's only up from there. There is a good amount of vibration on it but I will say for beginners, get you a 3" and 5" backing plate and pads, grab a good compound and start practicing and honing your skills.

"Oh hell, i'm not on a diet, pick em all!" Scott is one of the most honest detailers on RUclips. He tell's it straight whether it's a good review or bad one. Honesty is what I look for in a detailing video. Tell me if it's gonna be worth my dollars and cents as I don't have nothing to waste. I need a good value on a product that is EFFECTIVE. Scott seems to do that in his videos.

    Nice review. I have a Meguiar's MT300 (non-pro use) which is a pretty good machine. It's significantly smoother, quieter and more powerful than my old Porter Cable, which now has a 3'' pad for tight areas.
    It's surprising that Rupes did not make more significant changes when they designed the Mark II units. The Mark I stalling issue was well known. The Mark II should've been a class leader. I've heard that they stall less often when using the Rupes pads. Unfortunately, I've never used a Rupes polisher, so I don't really know.
