Those scratches on the hood that the compound “made more evident” is called crows feet. It’s cracks in the paint and it’s the primer underneath that you can see. Only way to get rid of it is repainting. Love your shit Robbie. Amazing work 🦐. Also it didn’t have anything to do with the previous owner. Just happens too old paint.
My 2 cents: -for the long haul get Flex polishing machines -heavy cutting: Meguiar’s mf discs -pads: Rupes/LC/Meguiar’s -product: Rupes/Meguiar’s/Carpro
Make sure to put a UV protective coating on the lenses so that they don't end up looking like they used to! Nice seeing another civic, been here since the first one was bought! edit: Buffing compounds almost always make a mess :)
Robbie you are the BIGGEST inspiration I have. I bought a 96 coupe the day after you picked up the hatch. I’ve been watching your videos for a little bit now but you got me hooked!! Keep up the motivation and fire videos.
I don’t know how to describe the style of the new videos but I love the fact that he isn’t doing astronomical things in each video. It feels great and relatable to see my favorite RUclipsr sometimes on the car lift instead of always in the shop! Keep it up Robbie! You’re a serious inspiration!
Can you do a pocket tee with an actual pocket! I'd like to sport some swag at work but I need a pocket tee for work. I'm an electrician and I cant function without my pocket!
soo i just recently followed robbie 2 days ago and i officially have watched every single civic build video from 2 years ago up til now and let me just say.... i’m more then excited for the new civic build. Jasmines long lost sister.
Detailing is super slept on by most car channels! Makes the build look so much cleaner! For next time, use a dual action polisher, microfiber cutting pads for bad scratches and intermittently clean out your pads with compressed air or a little wedge. They get clogged up with clear coat and product and stop cutting. Mothers products probably "dust" a lot so that's why you were getting all those dots. And Maguire's ultimate compound and polish are some of the best over the counter products in my opinion!
If you sand the headlights up to about 2000 grit, clean the lenses really well, and then spray with clear spray paint they will stay clear for a long time. I've done this to multiple cars. Love the content!
Hey Robbie, I gues these Sprinkels from polishing came because the pad was fresh and not soaked with polish😅 I started with detailing bevor maybe a year and I would recommend you an eccentric Polishing Mashine instead of a rotary, with an eccentric your not running in danger to burn your paint as fast as with a rotary because these are producing way more heat 😅 hope that maybe helped a little bit 😁 I‘m loving your Videos, they‘ve inspired me often and brought a smile up to my face☺️ Sorry if my English isn’t that good but Greetings from Germany 🥳
Professional detailer here, if you want more aggressive cut with the rotary buffer, use a wool pad with maguire's m105 compound, follow that with maguire's m210 polish with that "finishing pad". I always recommend to beginners to go with a da buffer( dual action) itsbeasier to use. Meguiars cut and polish microfiber pads and the compound and polish i mentioned above. Solid results for a first attempt.
All I seen on the hood was a bad word “ THE B**** “ that’s all I seen Robbie. And for the headlight sand it then polish it and apply clear coat should last around 3 to 6 years !!
The reason you got white specs flying everywhere is the pad needs to stay in full contact with the paint at all times. Thats why pros use 2in polishers in combo with a 5 or 6in. Also I notice you're using a rotary, I'd highly recommend a Duel action if you still have any doubts about burning through clear coat.
hey Robbie car came out looking good. if you want to be a little more aggressive with the compound switch to a microfiber pad it will get more of the swirl marks out. the flinging of the products is the machine itself rotary polishers are known for that dual action polishers don't do that as much. don't quote me I could be wrong just learned that from my own experience
Also, the sling was because you are supposed to put the pad on the car, spread it on a super low speed and then work it in once it is spread. The pad probably didn't cut as much because it might have gotten clogged with compound/polish you need to clean the pad out every so often. Dope to see you trying new things brotha, keep up the good work 👌🔥
Hey Robbie, love your videos bro 🙏 Dope to see you're getting into detailing. Since you're just starting out I would recommend you get a Dual Action polisher it is less likely you will burn through the paint vs the rotary polisher that is more likely. Since that seems to be one of your main concerns it would take care of that. Keep the dope videos coming 🔥🔥🔥
I've also found that throwing a piece of fine line or regular masking tape on hard body lines while polishing lowers chances of burning through. then take it off and hit the area lightly.
As a hobbyist detailer. Using microfiber pads for cut, and foam polish along with Meguiar's M110/210 has been my go to since I was at the point you were at. Yeah, those crack are crow's feet my gen 1 ls400 has them, sucks cause it's a full repaint situation.
I used to intern at a detailing shop and the first thing I learned was that black paint it the absolute hardest paint to buff, everything shows up on it and even after buffing swirls can show up in bright light, basically if you learn to detail a black car you can detail anything
Robbie the white dots are polishing compound that was scattered by the machine . To prevent that you should rub the compound and let it haze before polishing . Also wipe all the dots or it will stain the mini bike.
Hey Robbie. Love you are getting more into car detaling. I will really recommend you get an dual action polisher, instead of the rotary you used, for less a chance of burning the paint. Also you need an iron and tar remover (maybe just iron). I have my own car detaling show, and im would be happy to answer any question you have. Love your videos! Been sub since before "the red dosen't match" keep on the good work!
I'd love to see the EK with a full sound system in it, amplifier, bigger speakers, a subwoofer and some sound deadening panels, maybe even a custom fiberglass hatch setup? Let's let Robbie know!
Not really related but there’s a guy in my city with a fast&furious style da integra, and he has it all done up with like 12 10” subs and like 4 amps in a custom fibreglass setup, looks insane
The white dots is sling from the pad, I tend to put a 4 on the pad , then dab it over the entire panel, start the polisher flat to the surface and unless you have far to much product it won’t spray everywhere
Scrolled through a few comments and didn't see anything so. To eliminate the sling (dots). you put the compound on your pad, rub it around on the car. No power. Then put it on the slowest setting and spread it around a bit until it's all a thin coat, and when all the globs of compound are gone, you can turn the speed up. This will stop the sling. Also don't buff plastic, mask it off. I think that license plate area is going to look r e a l bad here shortly but we will see. See yah in the next one.
Yo Robbie we having a car meet in Bradford at the library on September 11th at 7:30 u should come, been watchin u for about a year and a half and seein u move back and realizing u live near me is crazy, it would be great to meet u and see one of ur cars in person🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sanding and clear coating headlights is the best way. Sanding is the only way to truly remove the oxidized material and reveal fresh clear plastic from underneath.
For more aggressive buffing what you would need is what i heard be referred to as a "cutting wheel". however i would recommend to only use it on paint where there is absolutely no concern of "burn through", so basically if the clear-coat is still intact and if there's no evidence of previous "burn through". you can also get more aggressive buffing compound as well. These items make it easier to hide (if not get rid of altogether) much deeper scratches, however i have accidentally burned through paint a couple of times using these items on the corners of some panels so you do need to be mindful. Also using these products do need to be followed up with everything you did in this video to make it look nice afterwards. Also I wouldn't buff a car without clear-coat to protect it, this might explain your previous negative experiences. I don't consider myself a professional on this topic but regardless i hope this helps.
That feeling when, you wake up after a long day of moose hunting, get your morning coffee, sit next to the window that opens up to a fall time forest, check youtube and see that robbie posted a new vid #committedcrew
ammo nyc has a lot of very very very good tutorials details, 1 thing u should do if u have a spray gun or compressed air , clean every pad after use on a panel , just spin it and give it air to clean it up!
I do wonders with a cheap harbor freight dual action polisher, 2 variations of foam pads, and meguiars m105 and m205 and a synthetic paint sealant. You don’t need fancy or expensive stuff if you are just a weekend warrior. I’ve polished/cut everything from a 1953 Ford with original paint to my 2016 Chevy. Honestly, with all the equipment for a full on paint correction+protection maybe twice a year on 3 cars you can get by for probably years on $250usd. I understand you’re in Canada, but I’m sure there’s affordable but good polishers out there on Amazon for less than $100.
Really not bad for the first try! And the little dots on your shirt is pretty normal its just the polish on the side of the pad if you keep the pad straight you wil have less dots everywhere and this can happen if you use to much polish but that wasnt the case. Funny thing is this video reminds me of the time i worked at the car factory and polishing cars i once cut open a polish pad on the side en filled it to the max with polish and put the pad on a co workers machine the whole car was coverd with polish when he started had to see his face priceless 😂😂😂
Hey robbie Just a quick tip, tape off the plastics when polishing because that stuff’s a bitch to get off the plastics. 2nd instead of rubbing it to spread, just put dots with the pad on the car. Love your vids!
The thing going on with the beads all over the place is when you have a lot of polish on the pad. Put the polish on the pad and then dab all over the section that you are gonna polish before turning the machine on. Then go slow at first until the polish feels like its in the paint and then go hard balls to the wall lol. Then finish with wiping off the excess with a microfiber.
FIRST, before you polish, always always always lightly mist your polishing pads with distilled water, keep doing it intermediately while polishing, it keeps the polish working, and prevents burn more/easier smoother to polish.. make sure to clean those pads out. you can soak them in water, then run your hands through them, and after the bulk water drains out of them put them on the machine and turn it up to the highest speed and itll sling all the compounds out. also You were using way too much polish. your suppose to put small dots across the pad, one light spray of mist, and begin. good video though bro
3D Products has a clay bar pad you put on your orbital. You can claybar your whole car within minutes with it. Also their product called Final Touch is an all in one spray. I use them in my shop

Before repainting, you have to sand right down to bare metal to get rid of the crows feet
너도 화합물이
My 2 cents:
-for the long haul get Flex polishing machines
-heavy cutting: Meguiar’s mf discs
-pads: Rupes/LC/Meguiar’s
-product: Rupes/Meguiar’s/Carpro
Also you were polishing not cutting first, and alsoooo, get the dual action, so much easier..
Make sure to put a UV protective coating on the lenses so that they don't end up looking like they used to! Nice seeing another civic, been here since the first one was bought!
edit: Buffing compounds almost always make a mess :)
So excited for this build🔥🔥

Na you actually dont need that much compound. A couple dots on the pad for every section should be fine
Meguires make good detailing solutions (the cream/paste stuff) if you wanted to try something else
4:31 I can see the word "puta" written on the hood, which is a swear word in Spanish
tough words coming from a guy named ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
I was about to comment that hahaha
Its portuguese, that says "filho da puta" means son of a bitch
@@zegalas21 tugas mesmo no canada vão ser sempre tugas XD
josé Galas nice to see that the word “puta” means the same thing in both Portuguese and Spanish👌
I have a black ek hatch 97 SiR and when I saw you picked this up it got me so excited. This is my inspiration to work on mine now😁
So stoked to see this and rest of build!!!
So stoked to see another civic build, just got through rewatching the pre Jasmine build

A clean car always makes you feel better
Honestly robbie thanks your the reason I use RUclips
The 3m 1-2-3 system is the best out there imo!
College has had me missing videos but I'm loving the idea behind this build
Seeing that robbie has uploaded gives me hope that my night will be okay

@@sketchyride6021 true the clear/paint on hard body lines is usually easier to burn through.
You should look into getting some Black Bezel Dual Halo Ring Projector Headlights Head Lamps they look amazing on this year of civic!!!
Some Nachos and a Robbie video, how could this day be better

I cant Wait for the Next ep
I have a Integra with the flakes as well, after detailing it first time I was blown away from the sparkles in the black
can't wait to detail my FRS now, the civ looks so mint now

hey robbie, one way to get an even deeper shine on the paint in the future, wet sand the car with p2000-p3000 it comes out so much more glossy
The white dots is sling from the pad, I tend to put a 4 on the pad , then dab it over the entire panel, start the polisher flat to the surface and unless you have far to much product it won’t spray everywhere
The 3m polishing compound kit is the way to go and if you have scratches this deep you should wet sand before buffing the car
Nice video bruh. Enjoyed it a lot. Definitely subscribing.

That feeling when, you wake up after a long day of moose hunting, get your morning coffee, sit next to the window that opens up to a fall time forest, check youtube and see that robbie posted a new vid #committedcrew
You can also use black wax from turtle wax and it helps hide more of the scratches

'.....-i literally just made sounds' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OMG
I literally woke up to this video. I love life
To keep it from throwing compound on your shirt and garage use a small spray bottle and mist the pad with water before you start buffing
Really not bad for the first try! And the little dots on your shirt is pretty normal its just the polish on the side of the pad if you keep the pad straight you wil have less dots everywhere and this can happen if you use to much polish but that wasnt the case.

Ammo nyc will help you with polishing and detailing they have a instructional series and they detail mclarens and stuff for pebble beach.
I felt like a bully when he said that "you guys were all making fun of me" 😂
Imo you should buy black housing headlights they would look so sick man
Watching these older videos makes me want to do stuff to my shitbox😂
Yes sir I've used the meguire head light product u have here on vid and that shit works great 👍 👌
I hope to see you at some ontario car meets!~ if you need any interior detailing done let me know ;) also may have a pressure washer you could have
Hey robbie
Just a quick tip, tape off the plastics when polishing because that stuff’s a bitch to get off the plastics. 2nd instead of rubbing it to spread, just put dots with the pad on the car.
Love your vids!
Get a protective coating for the lenses so they stay clear
Put your compound and wax in the center of the pad and dap it around the section to not get all the splatter
That Mother's Set is OK. I used it years ago and still have it laying around.

Would be cool if you paint the hatch in that mint green
Meguiars 105 and 205 is what i use 🔥
