People don’t realize that he is giving away all his knowledge. Basically if you going to a lesson of detailing you have to pay for what this guy is giving you for free, so thank you Scott.
Scott, you've got the best detailing videos online!! Better than the big brands we use are putting out for sure!! I've been a car nut for about 20 years owning over 100 cars but I've just recently got into the professional level of detailing. The past 4 months I've probably watched over 100 hours of videos by professionals and brands. Your demos and explanations, while sometimes a bit long winded, are absolutely the most helpful I've found. Thanks and keep it up please! From Los Angeles.
Everyone complaining about talking too much in this video is missing the point. He's teaching about his process, insights, and judgement as a professional detailer and his audience is other detailers and enthusiasts
And then everyone would be complaining if he didnt explain would hes doing and say his channel isnt very effective.
@@archiemegel1013 you sound jealous ex-girlfriend. Your feminine side really came out on that one 🤣
The people who complains are exactly the ones he is talking about; the people who judge by what they hear, not what they see.
Yeah i really like how verbose he is.
@@stevefernandez661 - Yes people really have to be careful popping off with malicious posts as they are totally open to be totally disgraced.
You gave the answer in the first 10 seconds and people still have the audacity to complain
Thanks for all videos and tips and instruction. Detailed my first car, my own 2017 Honda using products and procedures you use. Super Clean to wash the car tires and wheels. Chemical Guys original clay bar, Meguairs fast finish liquid wax with a Porta Cable DA, diluted Super Clean for the interior, diluted VRP on the dash and interior trim and door panels, and full strength VRP on the tires, next time I’ll cut it a little to get a matte finish. Citrol on the front chrome and bumper and on all glass to get rid of bugs. Lake Country 5.5 foam pads. I just used a white pad. Since it was my first time I didn’t want to use a cutting wax until I get the hang of it and more confidence in what I’m doing. Playing it safe for now. Tomorrow I’ll detail my 2016 Ford PU. Thanks again
Chemical Guys Glass Works for all windows inside and out. Everything worked great 👍🏼
Thanks again
My dad never taught me how to do this. Anytime I picked up a tool or wanted to tinker with my own car I’d be told I was going to ruin something. Now that I’m on my own, I have the freedom to do whatever I want. I learned a lot of things from this video. Thank you.
Trying to search harbor freight but can’t find their store-branded tool you recommend. Granted it’s 2020 now. I’ll check out your other videos to see if you talk about proper DA sanders to choose for detailing purposes. :)
I must say, I've been getting into mobile detailing, and your videos have given me a lot of training that I could not find anywhere else online. I really appreciate you giving your honest tips and opinions on products and methods of detailing!
Scott, I was going to have a pro do our cars, but you've inspired me to do them myself. I wish all of my teachers throughout my life were as good as you.
I just discovered your channel and am bingewatching, lol. I like your no nonsense, no BS approach. If we lived in the same area I'd hire you to do my car. Not necessarily because it needs it or I'm too lazy to do it myself, but to watch you in action and learn. There's no way I could ever get all your experience by myself since I'm a weekend warrior and only have two cars in my "fleet" to play with. But I do love to see rough paint turn great before my eyes, even if I tend to "overthink" stuff and get confused by watching the multitude of conflicting how-to videos on RUclips. Keep up the good work.
yep. bingewatching here too!
I'm a retired (so tired) lol!!...anyways I just wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite channels on detailing!...as an ex pro I find you one of the most "real" pro detailers out there in you tube land!..use show genuine ways of cleaning and real short cuts if you will. I have found most detailing channels out there are only pushing product and it's obvious!...your the real deal and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!...I wish there was someone like you back when I started as I had to learn by doing....
Hello there Scott ,
My name is SHARRON OF MS UNDERDOG WASH AND DEALING
In Washington DC .
I've been wash and dealing vehicles for 8 years on and off and now want to transition to Paint Correction .
Your videos are truly a big help. Keep up the good work thanks.
LMAO!!! that made my day when he said "it doesnt really matter how you do it!".
From one detailed to another- I only used a d/a polisher once about 10 yrs ago.. paint was dry and chafed. It was an old sears brand- made the paint come back to life. I haven’t used one since and was interested in buying a d/a to wax compound etc. The video was extremely helpful and to the point- no nonsense and knowledgeable. Thanks for the video.
I paint corrected my wife's car and when i went to pick her up from work she didn't recognize it😂. So the guy does have a point.
ha, the same way we dont notice our lady's haircut (at least, most of us)
@@descry1 right?!! I just let my lady know her hair looks great every day! Just to be safe 😂😉👍
thx Scott
very informative. I feel like I should be paying for this kind of education. For someone like me just starting out, they have helped more than you can know.
thank you
God bless
wow Curtis what a beautiful thing to say!...i had a lot of help along the way to and I'm so happy I'm helping you in return...thanks for your support
Damage Control Auto Detail Division I
I have to say: I've been hitting your channel everyday now. Really informative!
For applying a wax/sealant: light pressure right? So in other words seeing the black line flying around like a whirling dervish is probably what you want?
Cheers Brother!
As an starting detailer I have gained a lot of confidence and knowledge from this channel. Thankyou!
I'm also going to start out in the next few months. I'm practicing on my car first very soon and have been going crazy trying to find the best beginner polisher.
As I'm restoring my first car, I am watch your videos and learning how I can maintain it once I'm finished. You and chemical guys are the best. You deserve more publicity than you have!
I watched plenty of videos about detailing so far and you can almost instantly make the difference between an amateur and a pro. This guy really knows hist stuff. Thanks for sharing so much precious info. Not all heroes wear capes (or perhaps you do).
Thank you so much Scott, I have been doing Detailing for the las couple years and you have been a wonderful help for me, common sense, practicality and integrity awesome combination for good results to the customers and ourselves. May my Lord Jesus Bless you with wisdom Sr.
All your videos are very very good and full of useful information. I bet you are making people make loads of money Scott. There is not 1 video of yours that I do not like.
Im a very beginner detailer but I am following all your advice and will even buy the Mezerna 3 in 1 and HD speed.
You teach me a lot and thanks for that.
I do both.
Machine - large panels
Hand - tight spaces
I drive a Honda Odyssey. A lot of large, flat panels.
Same, I'll try what you do when my polisher comes. Thanks.
John Perez great tip. I'll add: machine for those waxes that do not have high lubricity (word?) or have a harder time buffing off (perhaps those carnauba ones as opposed to synthetic)
Hi Scott,
I recently came upon your channel and really like your vids. Thanks for taking the time to make them and share your knowledge. This vid is great, but the best part, for me, is at the end where you explain, in layman's terms, how to use the feedback from the machine to keep you on the right track. That info is worth its weight in gold. The one and only time I used my Porter Cable for paint correction was about 5 or 6 years ago and now I'm motivated to break it out and put it to use. Thanks again!
I use a polish called" Liquid Glass", it says it can be used with a polisher but I've never used one. I watched your video, and went and bought the 6" HF dual action polisher. Main reason is I tore my rotator cuff in a couple of places, so I can't polish my car by hand any more. I 'm going to try it out tomorrow, using the tips and techniques you show in the video. Thanks very much, the tips on pressure, and keeping the pad level will be helpful on my first attempt.🤔
Scott, U can kill me all u want w/ the length of ur videos. U teach me Many different ways. Ur videos aren't actually all that long. Many out there looonnnnger & don't have the quality you do. Don't get the information across. THANKS AGAIN!!!! Yes, I am a dedicated subscriber.
You can see the clouds moving on the hood as they pass by!!! Shiiiinnnyy!!
If the paint on your car can't even reflect the sky then you're gonna need to do a lot more than waxing
Flush the Democrats 👈👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍻😂😭
Just ran into your channel loving how you use common stuff you can buy off the shelf at the store and not pushing high dollar stuff if you just want a decent shine and remove some swirls in one of your other videos. You channel is very informative and love how you get to the point. Thanks again!!!
Don't ever shut up and cut it short. You have allot of good insight
This guy is the real deal
You have a good understanding of your customers and the marketing skill needed to make your business work. You are seasoned detailer. Thanks for the video!
God help you, you taught me a lot. There are many courses in the market, but they do not explain in detail like you. They take the money that's all, thanks
I've done my own since 72... I've had detailer come to me wanting to learn what I do to have my cars look deep and 3 D dimensional appearance... its spending full day every 2 months detailing paint by hand with my personal cleaners, compounds, waxes, polishers and sealers made for me by a mom n pop shop.. have never used anything else.. my 68 Bullet looks as good as it did when pops bought me it.
You have no idea how much you help me with these videos Thanx and god bless you sir!!
you guys and all your beautiful comments make me smile and bring me joy!...thank you so much for such a kind comment my friend
The only thing i don't like about all the Wax Machines on the market is they go in a circular motion, with the hand you can go side to side motion ! do you feel this way also ? Never liked going in a circular motion even when hand waxing.
For me it depends on the customer.
I have one regular, she insists that I hand wash and hand wax her car... Hose pipe no jetwash, hand wax no machine polishing. Its a noise thing, coz when I detail the other cars in the household theres no such stipulation but she will leave as I arrive.
She's the one paying me and shes happy with the result.
Absolutely love this guys’ channel. Whatever he recommends, I’m buying and trying lol.
That’s a great way of helping out the customer and you’re self at the same time. Nice going Scott 👍👍👍
SIR!!!!
Fantastic tutorials.
Never thought of using HD speed as a quick wax application, thought is was for correcting only! Great video!
I can use Meguiars cleaner wax as a paint correction and it will take out imperfections...and make it shine.
Looked at the Harbor Freight DA orbital buffer. Gives a 90 day warranty, Porter Cable 3 years. I went Porter Cable.
I've learned so much from you Scott, that I've found myself explaining these procedures and steps to the customers and employees at the local auto parts store. Excellent information and love the delivery. Keep up the good work.
They say the occupation with the longest life is the musical conductor. What is similar? Hand waxing. Think about it. You are standing up, moving around, bending over and moving your hands. Unlike most exercise, hand waxing gives you something to look at. And you follow the lines on the car.
Straight to the point!!!! Thank you for sharing....just starting out in this car wash/detailing world....side business, so your videos are very very helpful ..... and I just passed through Dallas on Saturday....lol....Much appreciated
thank you Mario!...its awesome to have you on my channel, I'm so grateful...you were in Dallas on saturday?..you should have called me..lol..thanks so much for your kind comment
soul reflections you're welcome....I'm a cross country truck driver....I'm in North Carolina now.....Southern California is my home base....keep rambling on!!!!
I like using my bare hands to apply my wax, there is nothing better than feeling your panels' every curve to make sure you get even coverage. Plus, you can just rub your hand together to heat up and loosen the wax too, making it easier to apply.
useles if you're using dual action polishing paste or just finishing paste. Wax will do not finish your surface, wax is there to protect your surface from dirt, water milky spots etc
Best video on how to use a dual action polisher on RUclips IMO. Thank you. I will be more comfortable using my new DA thanks to this vid. Peace.
CLAY EVERY CAR OLD OR NEW BEFORE POLISH OR WAX BY HAND OR MACHINE cleans Paint result finer polish or wax ProTech Auto Detail since 1980
After using a machine I don't want to wax by hand anymore it's too tiring !!!!! I just started using a DA and it's awesome
trust me i know the feeling..lol..im to tired period:)
Many thanks for your uploads. You the man. Best wishes to your viewers and yourself from the UK. SW
yes ...up selling paint correction is pretty easy once you know how to show the results to customers... its fun actually as long as you get the right money for your jobs...
Impressive I used HD speed on my 17 denali 3500 after watching this video and boy I’m glad . Awesome content
You are the best Scott, I have learned so much from your videos. Always love your tips and tricks. I use HD speed in the same way. People love it and its so easy to use. Great job, again
You rock dude! I'm ready to wet sand and blend new paint and compound/polish and your videos have helped me out so much, have always wanted the HF DA so I picked it up today and looking forward to getting to it this weekend. Thanks for the info and positivity!
I like the fact that you teach as well as demonstrate how and why! Thank you!
your right, I did a test spot on a customers car yesterday that just wanted a clay and wax but the test spot I did with hd speed was incredibly more attractive and made more sense then just the wax. The car came out amazing with this product. Great Video
wow thats awesome Erik...i love hd speed as well..thanks for your support and kind comment
I’m just a weekend warrior. Love watching your videos though
scott you need to print some shirts... here's an idea... "start on 2....... Crank IT UP!!!" . Thanks for all of your information. i made some scratches on my wifes truck and i have been binge watching your videos.
Thank you Scott for all the info and the time YOU DO TAKE to give tips.
So not paint correction, just advanced band-aiding that simulates paint correction? So you would use this for a car where they just want wash and wax without a full detail in hopes of reeling them in to bite for the full paint correction?
I had no idea Howard Stern detailed cars! Just kidding... great vid!
This is exactly what I do. Love hd speed! I follow up with meguiars ultimate fast finish!
hi Dallas connection I have been watching lots of car detailing videos in the last week but I have to admit you are the best and the most interesting video content on car detailing anywhere on RUclips
If you're getting swirls which you most likely are its because the speed of your buffer the speed you used to spread the chemical on paint correction was perfect just move slower and allow the machine and chemical to work it must create heat. Great videos !
VERY cool and informative video! Thanks for sharing and posting!!
HD Speed is a great product, I use it myself. The only thing is it does take a longer to apply then regular wax.
Scott your a great teacher thanks for sharing all your knowledge and years of experience 👍
At the very end of video he says it doesn't matter, to answer the question of the title, which is what people watch it for.
You might "cut" a little of the "build-up", and just get to the point of the video. Over 5 minutes before you got to the "thing you do"? Stories about your customers, etc, is the quickest way to get people to tune out. There's one minute of good info in this vid.
TALKED TOO MUCH
Machine maintenance is sure to eventually compromise the clear coat. Always use a microfiber cloth and clear coat safe wax. I suggest Wolfgang for paste and Nakedo for spray. FACTS
Maybe great and easy to use a machine , but slowly burning through the clear coat after yrs of use is a concern just to have no swirls ? It’s a pain , but I’ll stick to hand waxing . Your video on leveling clear coat help make my decision
Excellent video and very informative Scott.
I’m going to put a black line on my backing plate.that’s a great idea. I’m kicking myself for not thinking of that trick first.
Please keep the videos coming
Scott - I live 125 miles from you in Mexia, but if I were closer I would bring the car to you all the time. Recently had some body work done to my little black poor mans sportscar and the orange peel is bad. Want to try your advice, but scared I might burn through the clearcoat. Great vids man. Thanks for helping out those of us with little money.
Thanks for taking the time to post this video. If I lived in Dallas (which I don't), I would gladly let you detail ALL my cars. All your videos have been very helpful. You have a new subscriber.
Hey Scott, Love your channel, the videos and the tips... thank you so much for the great insight. I will admit, I hand wax with Pinnacle Souveran (mostly) on the BMZ W209 and P21S on my 03 Jeep WJ, due to cost. I really want to try a DA buffer... but have had concerns. Your input pushes me beyond the sense of unknown / doubt... I like the way you say the machine (like a well designed and built car .my words.) will tell you what you need to know. TYTY!
Awesome vid, I see that this is 6 years old now, is speed still a top of the line product to use for a polish ? Or something updated anyone know
Hello Scott, your videos are quite informative. I have watched several of your videos where you're talking about letting the rotation of your pads get into "The Sweet Spot". You explained it by saying you don't want it moving so fast that you can't see the black mark that you made on a backing plate, and you don't want it to be going so slow that it's hardly moving around. But what exactly is "The Sweet Spot"? Would you please do a video where you put a black mark on a backing plate and show us what "The Sweet Spot" should look like? I'm sure I and others would be very appreciative seeing what "The Sweet Spot" is instead of just hearing about it. Thank you
Fantastic video. You over delivered in the amount of info and insight you gave. I've watched a bunch of detailing videos and always felt uncertain therefore did nothing. Thank you.
Greatings From Turkey 🇹🇷 👍 ( folks ) 😀
Your videos are inspiringly educational! Awesome
Thank you
why did harbor freight stop selling this little machine??? anyone know... i have a porter cable ,but would have liked to buy one of these... maybe they break and people kept returning them? i did go through 2-3 HF rotery machines when i first started boat detailing 12 years ago...
At 11:15 you talk about pad pressure. I think you should let the compound do all the cutting. Not hammering down on the polisher to create more friction. All you are doing here is adding more heat into the foam pad (destroys pads) and burning off the compound.
Great video. I'm a hobbyist trying to learn the best techniques. Picked up the Harbor Freight DA after reading a few reviews and so far I think it has been a good choice. Question: After the HD Speed process would you then apply a thin layer of wax for the additional protection, or just leave it be? Thanks again.
You certainly could, but HD Speed leaves a layer of protection down Thats hydrophobic. I would suggest Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine (easy to find), or P&S Bead Maker as a topper if you wanted an additional layer of protection.
Scott you have an incredible gift! These videos help me perfect my skills. I am going to school for nursing and detail cars on the side!
Hey Scott I enjoy watching your videos!!
I’m not a professional detailer but I am one step under that LOL..
I’m 42 but when I was 20 I used to clay bar brand new cars at the dealership right off of the truck and apply paint sealant in preparation for the customer..
I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Denali with almost brand new looking white paint from the factory..
I was going to wash my truck and then use a Claybar and I wanted to put some protection on my paint to keep it looking good.. I noticed in one video you talked about spraying paint prep..
How do I find paint prep?
I looked it up and I’m wondering if that would be similar to a bug and tar remover...
If so should I apply something like that to the whole vehicle and wipe it down after I Claybar it..
You know, before wax or whatever?
And then should I wash it again right before I wax?
I just want whatever I apply to stick..
Also after I use the clay bar and prep the paint I’m wondering what type of product I could apply that would last several months and also something that I could apply by hand..
I learned from your videos that carnauba wax breaks down at 140° and I live in south Georgia so I wonder what product I should get that would last a while?
Does HD speed last a while?
Is there some product by menzerna?
Can I find something at my auto parts store that you would recommend?
Or should I look into something ceramic?
Any advice would be much appreciated.. Please help lol..
Thanks in advance
i am thinking of applying with DA and buying a special soft micro fiber or wool pad for my rotary to remove and then using a micro fiber to hit it once more... i used to do this years ago when i detailed boats...
You're Awesome!!! Love to listen to your tips and in-depth about all vehicles. Excellent!! like to know what kind of door guards, you know, people that just don't give a... when they open their door on your vehicle!?
I don't ever! not, care about another vehicle when opening my door. Need something that Looks sharp yet guards my vehicle. You have to know you sound like Howard Stern's brother love it!! Wish you were my teacher back in the days of school could have learned so much more.
Scott, thank you so much for your videos. I spent my Saturday night watching many of your videos. I have 2 questions. What can I put on my door seals to keep them from drying out and remain pliable. And what can I put on my door hinges to keep them from squeaking and binding. Thanks.
Once you're experienced using a buffer, there are things that can't be done by hand, so using a machine is better.
"It doesn't matter.....Well we're done...." HILARIOUS! Great video, though your vids require alot of common sense from the user....and I've found common sense isn't very common. Thanks for pointing out some great points in detailing!
you crack me up on short video comment scott
That's why I use the meguiars backing plate. It has a white line on it for that reason
Nice, Thanks for the tips, I have a really bad back, So i can't do this by hand or afford to pay someone, as i am on a Fixed Income. You have helped me and those in need. Thanks alot 👍,
Question, Did you open up your HF Polisher and Repacked it with a better, higher end grease? As others have done to tone down the grinding loud noise the HF Polisher makes?
Why did you hide the microfiber cloth, After applying the wax with the polisher the yellow colour microfiber cloth changed to red. Thats a lot of paint removed for minor scratches.
This guy should have a radio show
Scott, I recently came across your you tube videos and found them very informative. So, I have a question. I have a 70 Ford Mustang with a base clear coat. I purchased the Harbor Freight DA for polishing my car but, I am terrified that I would mess up the finish. I have other vehicles I can practice on but, I have not tried it on my Mustang. I am interested in the HD Speed polish you demonstrated. Where can I get it?
I like your videos and they reaffirm what I have been thinking these last few years about paint correction. I love it. Are you from the North East? Have a great day.
Mike
I read somewhere that you can open up that harbor freight unit and re-grease the bearings. It's supposed to quiet it down some.
It's doesn't take THAT much longer to buzz over a car with an AIO or Cleaner wax really. Especially if you have a forced rotation polisher like a FLEX 3401. So yeah it can pay off in the long run as long as you aren't spending a long time doing it. Even if you buzz over the whole car in say 30 to 45 mins there will be a noticeable difference that they CAN see.
Scott. Great video. Much appreciated for the information
I miss those extended videos where you explain everything in details.
That was funny at the beginning 🤣 quickeist video 😆 love the vid though 👌💯
Great video Scott as usual. Stay well.
thank you scott. excellent info once again. Keep it up!!
