WOW, this vid made total sense to me. You get better results using micro pad than foam, and you spend the same amount of time on the car as you would with a foam pad and you over deliver for the customer. That's how I see it. TFS Scott.
Customer "I just want the scratches to be less visibile" Scott "Ohhh I don't know. They look like some pretty heavy defects." *Starts rolling out the 6ft pad*
When you have time, please review the brand new Meguiar's D166 AIO to see if it is going to beat out HD Speed for the happy 80% we strive for in direct sun detailing.
Hey Scott - Just a tip for you - I have a Ridgid Blower Vac, it is similar to the vac you have but it has a detachable blower on it, makes it a great 2 in one tool for detailing. You can hook the hose up to the blower and then attach the Shop-Vac Micro tool attachment to it to make the end of the nozzle very small, this acts just like an air compressor for blowing off pads and for dusting/blowing out areas on cars. Hope this helps! Cheers!
After watching this video I went to go buy some microfiber cutting pads. But they not only have a finishing microfiber Pad but a cutting microfiber pad and a extra cut microfiber pad. I know the finishing microfiber pad probably has little to no cut, The Cutting pad would have some cut to it, and the extra cut would be more aggressive than the cutting pad. But just curious of which one that you use? And if you have all three, it might make sense to do a video about the difference between the three of them, and where you would use each. Just a suggestion. Thank you in advance for your response
The fast finishing pad is made for swirls scratches it’s made for compounding and polish finishing is just the name it’s not actually meaning finishing pad
Great video. Recently found this Chanel and love it. I'm just getting into detailing and want to get the best possible result when paint correcting. Car not in too badder condition can I do just as good job with foam cutting... don't want to go and buy microfibre pad if it just saves time. But will if it does better job. Will foam cutting pad achieve the same result? Thank you
I’ve got a Velvet Revolver (Aussie DA) and it only has ‘Nanofibre’ (marketing term for microfibre) yet they are very very soft and I have never seen any holograming, marring or defects when I’m using them. Might be the hard paint on my car but nonetheless I think they are superior
Scott i have a torq 15mm da what rpm range would i use with this pad? Also what rpm should i use with a micro fiber finishing pad? I will be using jescar cutting compound and either jescar finishing polish or sonax perfect finish. Thanks in advance, you always make great informative videos
Hey Scott, been watching you're videos for a while . I just bought a harbor freight da polisher , what kind of set up should I use if I want to do some paint corrections? It comes with a 6 in backing plate I believe , should I switch the backing plate? And use the same size microfiber cutting pads?
Changing the backing plate would be a good idea. I am going to buy a Harbor freight and put a 3 inch backing plate on it and see how it does. The lake country force pads are great, get the 6.5 inch. They flair out at the bottom and I like that a lot.
J Coz thanks for the reply . I actually bought a 3 in back in plate and a brush attachment for carpet cleaning and it actually works well . Have yet to buy a polishing pad for it but most likely will in the future .
Do u use the microfiber with the fine polishes to finish up? Or do you switch to like a white foam pad for the final? I’m using meguires 105 and 205. Thanks buddy
Would you use these cutting pads to clean oxidation off of diamond aluminum plating(Fenders on a trailer) or would you use a different pad and why? Thanks!
Avoid bluing agents as well. I personally like to use Dreft for sensitive materials or anything that needs to absorb some kind of moisture like shower towels.
Excellent video Scott. I don’t have compressed air unfortunately. However, I wanted to ask you whether a substitute in the form of the Metro Vac Air Force Blaster could be used?
I used a wool pad Heavy Cutting pad from a site name Gloss It and pieces of the wool pad were coming off to me it was a bad made heavy duty wool pad it came with two but didn't like them never used a microfiber polishing or wax pad yet though but that site Gloss It wouldn't be getting a wool heavy duty pad from them again.
great question:)...yes i microfiber cutting pad when used with an aggressive compound you will need to follow up with a polish..so when doing a one step i would pick a foam pad:)...hope that helps my friend
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing is there a good 1 step compound you will recommend? Im not looking for perfection i just want to restore shine and take off as many small scratches as possible
another great question:)..i really like griots correcting cream (not fast correcting cream) as a true one step with perhaps a orange cutting pad or a white polishing pad depending on the light defects your removing from the paint..the correcting cream leaves a great final finish for a 1 step and you can go right to a good wax or sealant that you enjoy:)
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing thanks! Great videos! You should do a video on what to do when someone bumps into your car and chips off some of the clear coat but does not damage the paint nor makes a dent on the panel. Just saying since it happen to my truck and i really dont know if i should polish it or reapply the clear coat, is a 2016 f150 since the paint is in great conditions i dont known how to deal with it without damaging the paint
Scott!! I’ve noticed after using a cutting disk the paint seems to be bit hazy. I tried a orange pad after words and got a bit better but it’s still there. What did I do wrong? How do I get rid of that haze.
So i could use the microfiber cutting pad with a aio for a one step correction?or with like a griots correcting cream as a one step correction?the paint wont haze with the microfiber pad using a aio?
Depends on the vehicle.... Traditional One Steps are HD Speed, Griot's BOSS Sealant, Meguiar's New AIO (Supposed to cut better then HD Speed & Griot's) But for a true 1-Step Correction any medium cut polish will work on a medium/light cutting pad (Orange Lake Country). Like Griot's BOSS Correcting Cream (NOT FAST CORRECTING CREAM). That's a true 1-Step correction that will remove swirls in a timely manner.
@@MrSmoothbanana generally speaking wool runs cooler than microfiber, m.f runs cooler than foam. Wool will cut harder and goes after deeper defects quicker but will leave a slight haze on the paint. Than you'll have to finish it out.
Hey Scott, I am trying to find a video that shows a da polisher that looks like a knock off rupes, did you make that vid? If not do you know what I am talking about? Thanks!
i heard of a company called "clover detailing"..you can find them online and they sell a rupes knock off but its around 270 dollars..i have heard of guys buying a knock off from china for about 150 dollars, but I'm not sure where you can get them here in the states..for 150 dollars i would try it myself:)...hope that helps Todd
some guys are telling me they like the Shurhold 3500 21mm polisher with 6 inch backing plate for about 190 dollars on Amazon..i can't speak for myself since i have never used it
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing yes, people have been talking about that one as well. It has some fairly good reviews, but who knows until its in your hand?
I'm going to do a video about the torq d22 again and compare it to the griots g15..i love my griots g15 and i know it to be more powerful than the rupes markll because i own them all...where the torq beats them all is on the curves all around the car..the griots and the rupes beat the torq slightly in the wide open panels but when you look at the bigger picture the torq will give the same results and not stall nearly as much as griots or rupes on curves and certain body lines so i find myself getting the whole car done faster using the torq...crazy but true:)
i always work clean and because i do this for a living i have tons of pads available to me and it allows me to be faster and get better results...but you can use 1 or 2 pads if you like and clean them often..i don't want to clean my pads when I'm working so i do it when i get home
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing I grew up using rotary polishers while working at my dads body shop so it's pretty much all I know! lol I can't figure out why people are so scared to use them!
@@lilj7072 dear sir...yes but...the Mililichs auto detail had a..dad with 10-20-30 years experience to help him to guide him ancuarige him, and ..he just said the truth ..he grew up using them.....but somone begginer...with no dads bodyshop none experienced to help him..what he going to do??? practice with rotary in customers cars? you are so..brave that in the firt day you used a rotary you did paint correction in a black Bentley?
marios kosmidhs well I got lucky, my pops a car painter for 20+ years and his good friend owns a detail shop since the 80s. I detail full time for his friend and I wet sand and buff my pops complete paintjobs on the side. It’s a good idea to practice on ur own car, id never buffed a customer car with a rotary I must add til I felt comfortable with it.
lies !!!! Most daily drivers can never be corrected to more than 60-80% using one step and da and foam pads.Thats 2 slow passes = 12 hours. Talking about black german cars washed by giant brushes for years with very heavy swirls. These kind of cars are my only customers Most of customers want 100% results ontheir daily drivers. P.s 5-6 slow passes is 2 days job + finnish polish = 3days when customers willing to pay no more than 300o
I love your videos and I trust and respect your opinion, but this video was pretty much useless.. 90% of it could condense down to "you can use these instead of foam, they cut faster and often remove more defects. Customers will like it if you exceed their expectations." Done. I was expecting a detailed example of how you personally prefer to use microfiber pads and why. Arm speed, edges, how you prime, do you air blow or brush between passes, how much product to use both for and after priming and again how much to use on a damp pad after cleaning between passes. How you wash and store them. Are they worth using at 3" as well. Where is that video??
I learn more from you than from all the youtube detailers put together.
WOW, this vid made total sense to me. You get better results using micro pad than foam, and you spend the same amount of time on the car as you would with a foam pad and you over deliver for the customer. That's how I see it. TFS Scott.
Pads are safer for the novice. He has a giant microfiber pad in the back ground
LMAO GOOD ONE!
Lol 😂 took me about 2 mins. But then The laughter began
Customer "I just want the scratches to be less visibile"
Scott "Ohhh I don't know. They look like some pretty heavy defects." *Starts rolling out the 6ft pad*
Hhahahah, no really, what the hell is that in the back 🤣🤣
God Bless You Scott, thanks again for another great video...
Scott thank you for these videos. I’m just starting out myself. Your vids are super helpful.
Finally, the video that led me to the reason I bought my MF pads in the first place! Now just need to get me some more... Thank you Scott!
How do you know when’s it’s time to change out a microfiber pad during a correction"
When you have time, please review the brand new Meguiar's D166 AIO to see if it is going to beat out HD Speed for the happy 80% we strive for in direct sun detailing.

The hose is and vacuum is dirty on the inside so you will be blowing dirty air into the pads.

Tom Fanshawe for heavy cutting, Microfiber > Foam

Awesome video ! Thank you !
Thanks scott
Scott, very nice video. How do you find these pads with heavy compounds? The last cut, Sonax cut max, Angle wax Resurrection etc ...
hello, can a microfiber finishing pad give the same level of clarity as a foam finishing pad?
Hit it with micro fiber pad and follow with foam,
Scott i have a torq 15mm da what rpm range would i use with this pad? Also what rpm should i use with a micro fiber finishing pad? I will be using jescar cutting compound and either jescar finishing polish or sonax perfect finish. Thanks in advance, you always make great informative videos

For one steps, which microfiber pad is most comparable to the orange foam pad, the finishing microfiber or the cutting?
Grottis is high quality compound? Hmm, I never could get it to cut very good, I did have the yellow bottle though
Do u use the microfiber with the fine polishes to finish up? Or do you switch to like a white foam pad for the final? I’m using meguires 105 and 205. Thanks buddy

Meguiars microfiber pads is all you need with menzerna polish and compound..... nothing is easier or better to work with
this meguiars microfiber pad with sonax perfect finish or Uno Protect for a 1 step? Which polish do you choose and why :)
great channel
Avoid bluing agents as well. I personally like to use Dreft for sensitive materials or anything that needs to absorb some kind of moisture like shower towels.
Excellent video Scott. I don’t have compressed air unfortunately. However, I wanted to ask you whether a substitute in the form of the Metro Vac Air Force Blaster could be used?
You can use a drier blower, but compressed air with a gun comes out faster so it gets deeper into the pad and helps the fibres stand up.
Very Nice
Amazing video scott! The only issue is your yammering is going to make me end it all
Thank you
Are these good for one step on back german hard clearcoat please ?

Hello scott. What do you think about the G3 scratch remover by Farecla
If you use a 1 step compound would it be better to use a microfiber pad or a foam pad?
great question:)...yes i microfiber cutting pad when used with an aggressive compound you will need to follow up with a polish..so when doing a one step i would pick a foam pad:)...hope that helps my friend

Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing I like griots correcting cream but I feel like it leaves behind residue that's hard to get off..
I have four DMC5 they just don't attach to my backing plate, last like one or two cars
Hey scott. Would you use a 2 in 1 cutting/polishing compound with the microfiber cutting pad?
The cutting pad will tend to leave a haze behind, at least that is what I have found. The polishing microfibre pad might work better in that instance.
Scott!! I’ve noticed after using a cutting disk the paint seems to be bit hazy. I tried a orange pad after words and got a bit better but it’s still there. What did I do wrong? How do I get rid of that haze.
Use a finishing product like M205 or boss finishing cream
So i could use the microfiber cutting pad with a aio for a one step correction?or with like a griots correcting cream as a one step correction?the paint wont haze with the microfiber pad using a aio?
Keep the speed low on the machine 3-4 and don't go too slow with the arm movement and you should be fine.
Hi Scott! Can I use mf pads on a rotary? What's the difference?
Huge thanks and greetings from Brazil!
You can but I'd be extremely careful lol
You forgot to come back and polish after to remove compound haze
What is a good 1step compound
Depends on the vehicle.... Traditional One Steps are HD Speed, Griot's BOSS Sealant, Meguiar's New AIO (Supposed to cut better then HD Speed & Griot's)
But for a true 1-Step Correction any medium cut polish will work on a medium/light cutting pad (Orange Lake Country). Like Griot's BOSS Correcting Cream (NOT FAST CORRECTING CREAM). That's a true 1-Step correction that will remove swirls in a timely manner.
Menzerna PF2500 on foam is my favorite.
Do wool pads work the same as microfibre pads?
Eric McIntyre good question, wonder if they handle heat like wool pad on rotary
@@MrSmoothbanana generally speaking wool runs cooler than microfiber, m.f runs cooler than foam. Wool will cut harder and goes after deeper defects quicker but will leave a slight haze on the paint. Than you'll have to finish it out.
How do prime your microfiber pads.
With what? Sorry if this is a clown question.
you prime the face of the pad with the polish you're going to use..just like buttering toast, just make sure all fibers has product
Thank you sir.
So, of you get better results with the same time, why not just use microfiber every time?

So for your sake you are removing more clear coat from the vehicle than its intended
Parthiv Bomma not at all..lol
I'm still only going to be removing the layer of clear coat that holds the defects

If you have an Audi better get the microfiber
that depends on how deep the defects are
