    The last tip is the best advice you’ll receive, it will get you out of a really tricky spot if you’re finding it hard finishing out. I know I’ve been there, soft black paint can really humble you, leave you ego and emotion at the door. Thanks Sandro!

    This was another great tutorial, not just for soft paints but a great method as a starting point for other paints although you've covered this on your other videos always good to have a reminder, especially as I've got a second car to do an no idea what that paint is like. I love that last one about using the pad to remove the left over compound.

I just bought a 2018 Camry it's not as bad as the paint on the example of the video, but with a lot of swirls and scratches. Thanks again boss!

  • @nicksdragon6929
    @nicksdragon6929 2 года назад +1

    I'm rewatching this video because I just finished a Jaguar XJ with very soft Black paint. My frustration was not being able to get rid of the buffer trails I produced. So I decided to rewatch your tutorial. Praise God. I used Rupes wool yellow and DA Fine. That worked great. I learned two things after watching your video, 1 - I used to much polish, 2 - my machine was at 3.5 not 5-6 (which I just tried). Both of your techniques paid off handsomely. Now for the finish I originally used Lake Country White polish foam with a finish polish and produced high quality buffer trails. So, then I used Lake Country black foam pad and UNO pure but couldn't get rid of the halo grams to the extent I needed. Those results led me to rewatch this video and using your methods, technique and minimum polish was WUNDERBAR! By the way, instead of the Lake Country Orange, why not the Rupes Yellow foam pad? As always, you are the best of the best! Thank you so much.

    Great tips. I am working on my Black Honda HRV and done front and driver's side and I am seeing haze. Looks like I need to clean polishing pad and go back with it to collect the 2nd stage polish residue up with a bit faster movement of hand. And of course this is my first paint correction and I get a new Honda black car with swirl marks and hard water stains. The dealer's detailer was not a pro. Swirl marks everywhere including even on window glass. Hard water edged in glass and paint at multiple places.

    Thanks Sandro for another in depth instruction on polishing with soft paints. With the detailing industry so large and world wide, not just with detailing professionals as yourself, but with car enthusiast and weekend warriors, that there is no central information for the type of paint the various car manufacturer's use. As it seems to be trial and error to determine the type of paint, particularly on cars that are not very old that have had no correction done previously.

    This is great ! Im just about to do my first ever polish on my Kia Sportage GTLine. I have a Rupes 15 mk3, using their DA polish. Im going to try with the yellow fine polish and foam pad and see how i go (seeing it came in kit form) It was swirled from the dealer and Ive never dealt with it, but obviously follow best practise when it comes to washing and drying. I really like the look of the Koch Chemie polishes and pads also. This is all new to me so finding ideal pads and polish combinations is quite difficult. Then there are the finshes/ protection stage, another plethora of products. IVe not decided where to go here, so may just to traditional Carnauba wax for now. Keep up the great work!

    • @CarCraftAutoDetailing
      @CarCraftAutoDetailing  Год назад

      One step processes are a great choice, for me I still need to always do a test to see what the paint is like but if you’re constantly working on cars with the similar paint types and similar levels of defects then I’m sure you’ll find great compound and pad choices that will address most of those paints quite consistently.

    @castel32 Год назад +1

    I believe this is the kind of paint that can be found on a porsche A1 Black. I am taking away these tips:
    - 2 phase Compound + Polish
    - IPA
    - Remove polish with a fast polish pad pass.
    - Blow out residue from pads.
    - When finishing, less polish is better.
    Thanks so much. Now my big question is: What ceramic coat should I use from sooo many available?
