Maybe some content regarding when to switch from a 5 or 6 inch pad down to a 3 inch. What sort of contours/sections/edges can you get away with using that 5/6 inch pad for before needing to change over. I imagine many of your fans will be switching to going by hand for the sections truly too small for those 5/6 inch pads.

Apex Detail can you test and review Adams sprayable compound ? Thanks for all your videos

Once again a fantastic video with hands on information and real work. This is exactly the kind of viceos that make this channel so fantastic! The value in you sharing this with us is off the scale. I´m a big fan of your work.

Great video as always Brian. It's always amazing to see the different options of pads and polish and the effects they have on paint.

Great info! A HUGE difference in quality of clear!

This is the video I was looking for gives me a great start for my Toyota’s.

I have a 2008 Tundra and I found 3D One and 3D Speed to work well on it with my testing a few months ago with Meguiars microfiber cutting pad. I just ordered some Urofiber 50/50 pads so I'll tackle the entire truck here soon and attempt my first ceramic coating as well. Thanks Brian for all your reviews, tips, and knowledge!

Thanks for the comparison of products! I’ve got a new 4Runner I’ll be doing in the near future that looks similar to the marring and swirling of the tundra.

3D one is awesome. Perfect for the driveway detailer like myself.

Great content as always and very useful information here! Keep up on good job...

Just like to say a big thank you Brian my car and my family cars r looking lovely and it's thanks to u because you have giving me the confidence to do the work needed and what products to use thank u brian and keep up the good work u do from Richard in the UK

Your videos are so very helpful. I am getting ready to correct my wife’s Honda van that is trashed, and this is very helpful. I ordered 3D1 and am trying to select pad type.l to do the job. It will require some wet sanding.

I learn so much from you, Brian! Thanks a million.

All these combinations and so many coming out looking great. I bet Brian could take a rubik cube and find 7 ways to make it all line up

Great Combos....!! ill have to try that 3Done hybrid seems to cut and finish pretty good for the price.. not much hazing!! and have to buy some urofiber pads.. to give these thing a test drive loll!

That 3D One has surprised me. I did a neighbor's Town & Country, and used the Porter Cable 7424 with blue Buff and Shine polishing pads, which is almost a finishing pad, and 3D One. That combination removed all of the wash marring, and dullness. Great finish. Super easy to use too. The passenger side I used Rupes Quarz Medium on their green pads using a Rupes Duetto. Removed the same amount of damage, leaving a touch more gloss. On another vehicle I tried the Rupes Quarz Medium on their yellow pads on the Porter Cable 7424, but it didn't have the teeth to remove all the damage. Super nice gloss though. Moved up to the blue Buff and Shine super coarse Uro-Tech, but it still didn't get enough damage out. The Uro-Fiber did, but required a follow up with foam.. I really like the idea of a medium cut polish. Obviously, 3D One can wear many hats from cutting to polishing, and finishing, etc. The Rupes Medium was fun - short work time, very little dust, very easy wipe off, nice cut and finish. . The Menzerna 2500 has been my go to for a few years now for a medium polish. I really like it with Lake Country Hydrotech polishing pads, it plays well with a wide variety of foam and microfiber pads.

I have used a lot of 3D products. The super glass cleaner is my favorite followed by One and hd poxy. I also like their foam polishing pads, used them on a rupes rotary and maxshine 15.

This channel rocks B!

The griots correcting cream finishes down super good. Haven't tried ONE but i know its good aswell. I got 2 bottles of correcting cream I'll buy some once I run out. Its gonna be a while 😂😂

Great video Brian.

On my Smart Car the 2008 I'm talking about just the top where it's like fiberglass or whatever the material on the top is

Interesting video! Nice work

Perfect timing on the tundra as i just got one. I am not yet familiar with the paint and have a few scratches that will need to wet sanded. Any more videos on the tundra coming?

Great tips

I got my bottle of 3D One coming tomorrow. Can't wait to use it on my parents 2008 Infiniti G35x S. That car is Super Black. I'll also do my in-laws late model Hyundai Santa Fe. It's Black as well. Finally I'll do my wife's 2017 Nissan Sentra. It's color is alert red. All 3 vehicles will be protected with 2 coats of Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish.

I like fast finish but only last like 4 weeks or so :( I like using ice spray wax that gives me 4 months of protection 😁

It seems like 3D One + Uro-Dual Fiber is an ideal combo as they both seem to have similar levels of action. Med cut with nice finish. Maybe follow it with a Finish pad and Sonax Perfect Finish or Koch Chemie M3.02 . Of all the final finishing polushes those two seem to always rank at the top for effective gloss even especially afterba proper prep wipe. I amnstuck with 2 all black vehicles. 2016 LEXUS and 2008 GMC Silverado 2500 Duramax. Totally opposite spectrum clears. On the Lexus after the dealer touched it I had to do correction. It was bad. * Rinse * Foam Cannon Soak Rinse * 2 Bucket Wash * Iron Decon * Clay + Mckee's N914 as lube * Spot check Iron repeat if necessary * 3D One + Uro Dual Fiber * Sonax Perfect Finish + Black Finishing Pad * PoorBoys Black Hole + Wax App / Jeweling Pad (24hr cure before wax) * FK1000P + Wax Pad (48hr cure 2nd app.) Domthe PB BH just for the first pop. After 3-4 months I do a Sonnax PF Finishing Pad + 2 coats FK1000P. Add an extra coat every 3-4 months. Seems to level off after 3 coat. Goijg to a Ceramic this fall. Leaning toward McKee Ceramic Graphene Coat Pro V 2.0. Have not decided on a topper for monthly washes. Keep N914 in a spray bottle for bird guano and bug strikes.

Well done good sir!!

Great comparison ✊

I used that same lake country orange pad with McKees37 fine cut on my Mazda 6. It didn't get all the swirls. I was hesitant to hit it again as Mazda has very thin clear coat if any at all. I had better results on my 04 Mach1 with wolfgang swirl remover.

Would the Uro Fiber 50/50 be sufficient with 3D One instead of a yellow medium pad for a Toyota with similar swirls/marring/scratches? I have a Max Shine M15. 2013 Tacoma in metallic charcoal. Your videos are incredible for driveway detailer enthusiasts btw - thank you!

@apex detail can you please do some reviews of the shine supply products!?

Awesome video

Thanks a lot Brian...I was thinking what is the diference between „one step” foam pads and medium foam pad?

Thanks, it helps to have so much experience and a ton of products and pads in the storage closet! Curious, has the Tundra owner ever explained how that damage was incurred in it's brief ownership?

But dang only 2k miles on the OD. Given how most do lots of driving when you buy a new vehicle in that first few weeks. It might only have been off the deal lot for a month. Maybe 2? Even weekly or bi monthly washes that's serious damage. Like washing in a dirty bucket where a bunch of sand came off the truck and using a terry cloth and Palmolive dish soap lol. But sure looks like a drive thru "heavy touch" car wash. It looks like someone went over it with emery cloth or 00 steel wool. SOS Pad 😮.

Hi Brian, I have a 2018 Tundra, but my paint isn’t in nearly bad of shape as this Tundra was. If I have only very light swirls, and I want to correct some factory orange peel, could I just skip to the 3D One step after I clay? Also, when it comes to pads, I’m still learning about all the different ones and when to use which one. But when you say the Urofiber 50/50 pad, does it need to say 50/50 in its description to be that one your recommending in the video? The link for it doesn’t show any with the 50/50 in the name of the pads. I have a new Maxshine M15 Pro series 2 coming and want to know what RPM number 1-6 are you using? I know that you say start out on the lowest setting to spread the material then what speed should I polish at for the Tundra? Thank you very much for all of your videos!

Great job yet again Br with a ton of information ,when it comes to wiping off the residue it wipes off without anty trouble . However after I get to the same situation it appears the polish is stuck to the paint &need to use a little force to remove Iam sure you’ll have an answer to help me . Dave (uK)

I find that happens here in New England when humidity is high which is an issue in the UK too I bet. When that happens I mist it with a panel wipe and the residue comes off easily. I've seen others use a pure quick detailer to do the same thing. (no wax/sealant/silicone).

I have a complete rookie decontamination question. You mentioned that you clay first to remove excess contaminants so, the iron remover can work better (in a previous video). If iron gets embedded in the paint and you clay bar first..are you not dragging iron contaminants over the paint as you continue to clay the vehicle? Why not remove the iron contaminants first (wouldn't iron scratch the paint more) then clay bar the remaining crap off. I'm not questioning your method..I'm questioning my logic. Thanx, Will

David Velez it all comes down to experience mate, car manufacturers don’t disclose details of their paint system. The only way to know is by doing. Some information can be garnered by region of manufacture, euro paints are typically harder than Japanese paints but compared to what? It’s all arbitrary and mostly unnecessary to definitively determine. Simply start at a middle point of compound/polish (depending on paint condition) and decide from there.
