I remember watching this video five years ago. It's still a great video today. Thank you Scott.

First time doing paint finishing. Just ordered m105/m205 to learn with. Have 3 cars to practice on. For me, this is like therapy. Enjoy the process, be wowed by the outcome. God Bless... Keep the videos coming. Really appreciate it...

Excellent VIDEO content. Thank you Scott for your honesty and Experienced advice. You are the man.

Love your attitude and way of teaching. You earned another sub today. Thanks for the guidance.

Thank you for all your help giving your knowledge to everyone!! I appreciate it very much. God bless you!!

Your videos are great, Scott. I enjoy them and learn a great deal from them.

Scott.....Just tuned in to your videos and thoroughly enjoyed the tips and comments about paint correction. Keep up the good work!

Scott. Just fantastic. In every way Scott. Really enjoy and appreciate all that you put into you vids that you so enthusiastic ally share with us

First of all GREAT VID! Always so informational and keepin it fun and light *4 thumbs ups haha* You started in March and you have 800+ subs! that's awesome Scott!!! I just started watching your videos yesterday and I can't wait to get thru all of them! haha I just start by pressing the like button because I know there's gonna be atleast 1-2 things I'll learn from your videos! I know you mentioned you don't like like to mess around with affiliation links and such but links of what you use to amazon or other links you can find, I think would be a great addition to your channel + it could help us by allowing you to purchase other products and for your time to show us how a product is in your standards! Really appreciate the fun and energetic vibe you put into all your videos and I think beginners and pros all appreciate your enthusiasm and helping attitude greatly! I hope you keep on making these videos and would hope to build rapport with you continuing into the future of your channel! Best, T

Very nice videos, Scott..(1&2) You’re the best! God bless you.

Great video again Scott, I'm learning more all the time

Yeah i love this videos we dont need expensive tools we just needs tricks and common sense thanks scott!!

Thanks for the great videos Scott! After watching this I’m less afraid of giving paint correction a try for the first time.

Another great video and tip. I started out with a specific trade focused brand, worked awesome first time and ever since. Tried a few others highly rated compounds and pads but went back to my original setup.. it just works! You're videos are awesome and love the way you expose the bullsh!t where needed.

your a blessing Scott , thank you!

Hi Scott. I have used Auto Magic compound by hand and even by hand it produces such good results. I have a detailing kit that I will practice with when I return home next month but yes, even being a very beginner detailer I had already thought of that..to just stick to only 1 compound and to 1 polish and stay loyal to them. Thanks for all your teachings

Thank you. I need to fix my black car and you have given me the knowledge to do so.

Thanks for the video Scott, you make it simple in a funny way (your side jokes). Keep up the good work!!

This video answered all my questions, Thankyou.

Thank you scott for doing what you do

Thanks for the beginner tips - I agree on the ‘’stick with a system approach’. I’ve been researching and the options out there can drive you crazy! KISS! I bought the Americana starter kit but the 1500/Finesse compounds are too thick so good to know I can cut them down with some water. I unintentionally used your pad soak trick but with a small amount of Wolfgang’s and water just so I could use the compounds on my old truck. Much smoother to work with after doing that. Now to watch and lean about wax and sealant. :-)

New subscriber, great video! Thank you for sharing your expetise.. hello from Ontario, Canada! Used some of your tips already with great results, thanks again!!

Great advice and directions for how to! We novices thank you and have a very happy and prosperous 2018 John

Scott, thanks for sharing everything you share. Is there a way to feather compounding and polish when there's only a paint defect in a certain area like the corner of a door or corner panel? If someday you could demonstrate, that would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks so much for these videos scott! I Have a passion for detailing and your videos help me out in so many ways. One question, what do you use as the "paint prep"? Take care buddy

Thanks Scott. Another fantastic video - that's why I'm a subscriber. Now that you've done the correction on the hood can you do a video showing how to apply Meguiar's M21 Mirror Glaze Synthetic Sealant 2.0.

Thanks Scott I didn't know how capable those two products are

Thanks for the video and the other video with the hood and showing the reflection on "your Lil bald head" haha! I'm brand new to detailing and next week about to attempt to DA my wife's 2015 Corolla. I know it has some deep scratches that I don't think I can get out safely, but I just wanted to say that I'm so thankful I found your channel! Your honesty and reassurance really took some nerves out of it! I really hope it turns out nice. I got the torq 10fx kit with the chem. Guys v line. Then I am going to top it off with meguiars ultimate wet wax. After my sample bottles are gone, I'll take your recommendations. Thanks again for reassuring us noobies!

Awesome information and tricks. I'm going to be working on my wife's jeep and it is black. Definitely going to have to get some m105 and 205

Thank you so much scott for sharing this video now i can to do this with my car......👍👍

scott..thanks for this...loved it

Scott will tell me what episode to watch or make one of how to showing how you correct the fender's door 's basically the sides of the car. Watching you do it alone will spark knowledge.

great video, keeping it simple smart guy, thank you.

" I like my little trick, it's not a trick!" Lmao! 😂 Love your videos dude!

Looks great! I watched this vlog twice...

Thank u so much scott

Just got my Flex can't wait to try this

NICE JOB THANKS FOR THE TIPS

105 is awesome, but when buffing outdoors, I get a lot of dust and sometimes I get residue that's hard to get off. I never tried using distilled water on the pad, prior to putting the product on. Next time, I'm going to do it. Less dust is good! Thanks for the video. I appreciate it.

Thanks Scott! I will be using d300 and 205 to perfect my paint! How would a hobbyist detailer maintain there paint? I’m using 2 bucket method with grit guards and foam cannon. And new Costco microfibers with a drying aid. Anything else you can recommend?

Good video. I have to fix some swirl marks from a dealers detail on my black car.

Awesome info !

Tha is scott. Very helpful.

Scott, great vid. If you could choose a polishing pad set or system what would you get as a early beginner? I want to buy pads, compound, and polish that offers versatility for various conditions/colours of paint?

Scott..you are a blessing. I'm just a retired end user, 2018 black Silverado with a moderate scratch on trk bed side panel to correct. You've given me an extremely useful method from beginning to end to correctly perform my need. Thank you brother. Btw. The liquid spray you used when wiping off the used compound & finishing polish...what exactly is the brand?

Scott can I use these on my black Harley but do it by hand? Worked great on my black truck. Thanks

Thanks for the videos got my first full polish 3 step just my luck had to be a black car wish me luck

Hey Scott, please answer this question. For my black Toyota tundra 3year old truck. I have McGuires m 105, d300, ultimate compound ,menzerna super finish 3 500 and now i have flash and flash pro. I want to do a 2step correction on 1 panel and im thinking just flash on the rest of the truck that already looks good. I'm going to wash, iron remover, clay, then use i think mineral spirits before the compound. Which of these would u use and which should i throw away? Love your microfiber towels, big drying towel and flash haven't used flash pro yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Shawn

Hi there! Nice sharing by the way. Now, it would be nice watching you using a paint depth gauge before all that so that we won' t go blind on sanding or doing clear cut in our cars you know what I mean? Keep going. Thanks

Nice Job👍

Your videos are great

You confirmed the technique I use! I had problems with dusting and figured this out. I started using 205 and 105 in 2007 and still use it! Pad selection is the only change I've made. Very consistent results. The only diminishing compound I use is 3M™ Perfect-It™ for problem areas sometimes. LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!!

Ray Jay how do you get rid of the compound dust? Do you wipe it away, clay bar it, or just buff it away?

@rayjay8322

6 жыл бұрын

If I'm outside under my shop overhang, I blow it off with air. If inside, I use a microfiber to wipe or brush off. If it's on a buffed surface, I just dust it off. If it's on unprepped surface, I wipe it off with detailer or something, just depends what the next step is to be.

@rayjay8322

On buffed surfaces it will mostly blow away. On unbuffed areas you will need to wipe away with microfiber and detailer spray or IPA or something like that. You must control residue at all times whether it's dead paint residue from buffing, dust from buffing or dried slung compound.

I was all but convinced I had to have a Rupes at $400+ thanks for the video

I haven’t tried M105, I’ve always used megs ultimate compound then ultimate polish. Would moving to M105 and M205 speed up my jobs? Is M105 slightly more aggressive?

what do you do about that gunk build up on pads? I do use a nylon brush on the pad while its on to slow that down. How many pads do you need during one step for the whole car?

Scott to much pressure On that machine stops the spinning is that normal? Thanks

Awesome! I love M05. Finish is amazng and its easy to use. I have not used M105. I have used Ultimate Compound, which is the consumer version of M105. Honestly, it good, because it cuts fast and leaves desireable results. I just dont like the dusts it leaves when you work it. This is why I prefer Griots Fast Correcting Cream.

Love your videos! What do you think of 110 and 210, what are the differences from 105 and 205?

Scott. What do you think about the porter cable 7424 XP compared to harbor freight polisher n the griots polisher that size

Great video Scott! Should I avoid compound and use polish on my garages black 2021 Dodge Challenger which has minor small scratches from washing and drying? Based on your other vid I bout Griots Compound in the yellow bottle but is that and M105 too harsh? Also what do you recommend for polishing and sealing? How do you feel about Ceramic coatings? Look forward to your advice. Thanks!!!!!

Scratches were removed but the reflection of the light looks slightly wavy. Can polishing remove orange peels or is it just the car's paint quality?

GREAT CHANNEL SCOTT LOVE YOUR STYLE THANKS FOR REMOVING THE MINEFIELD FOR ME BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT SEALER WOULD YOU USE AFTER THE M205.

Looks awesome Scott. I'm debating on trying out HD speed for some light correction. Do you still like this product or am I late to the party ?

Scott, what is paint prep liquid you use to remove residual compound?

What is in your paint prep? And why dont you that to dampen your pad?

Stop making me laugh so much, I'm trying to pay attention 😂😂😂

Scott I can always count on you to tell the truth! 💯

What model polisher is that from Harbor freight?

Awesome. So, do you have to removing the dusting before you move into another section of the panel?

Scott. I have one question if I may ‘ on using the pads, so will one pad for be enough for a car or should i use 2 or 3 per step. I mean let’s say one for the front of the car another for the rear and one for each side of the car ? Ok so 4 pads for cutting with M105 and 4 for M205 is what I mean. Awesome video bro.

Bruce, it just depends on how bad the paint is when you start. You can extend the use of a pad by using a pad brush to clean off a lot of the old paint out of the pad. Change pads when you no longer get the desired results from that step.

personally polishing wet sanding marks would be awesome

How do you remove the compound dusting? Do you clay bar or or buff it out?

Dusting is just that, dust. You can either use a clean microfiber towel to wipe it off or even the paint prep like Scott is using to moisten it.

Scott I have one question...How good is the Shine Mate DA? we even have the Flex Replica(Force Rotation) for like R4300 thats like 270$ in your country..orignal flex 3401 is R7800...worth getting? just for my car...its hard to get stuff from overseas..most don't ship to SA. love to see when you do the shootout on DA Polisher.

You still use this method of putting water on the pad?

Scott here is my beginners question. Im just learning to use the Da polisher (griots 6 inch) but im now confused as which to start out with the 105 and 205 or I was going to get the griots fast perfecting cream and the sealant. which would you still recommend for me. I most likely will use both brands at some time but I want to start right so I can be a good detailer and get some customers some day. As always love your videos and I still have alot to learn.

3M perfect-it compound and machine glaze. Give it a try! Not much more than Meguirs, but i think its way better of a product But to each their own...Maybe its not the product, but the way each of us have our own technique, so different products work better than others depending on our styles of using a machine. Good vids! I enjoy watching

@rayjay8322

3M™ Perfect-It™ is a diminishing product. It has it's place, but not as overall first use product. 105 and 205 give consistent and reliable results that you can depend on with perfecting the paint finish. Speaking of that, a glaze is nothing but a band aide. It hides imperfections.

Is this a permanent finish or temporary ?

I already have a long throw DA equipped to work with 6" pads, but I find it's next to impossible to get some tighter areas polished with it so I was looking to get a smaller (and cheaper) DA I can put a tiny backing plate on to use 3" pads. Will the Harbor Freight DA fit the bill? Can it be used with a backing plate that small?

@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343

7 жыл бұрын

yes Harbor Freight DA will take 6" 5" and 3" backing plates plus its a small and cheap DA with enough power to get things done..better than the porter cable any day and cheaper!..DA like rupes and other large throw polishers have limitations and not always the best polisher for the job as you have noticed...thanks for your comment and i hope that helps:)

I'm no professional but I say it depends on what you are using. I don't use a polisher for paste wax. For a liquid sealant I would most likely use a da to save my arm. I tried using the klasse aio and by hand is just fine. You use very little, its just wipe on, wipe off and sometimes using the da to me can be more of a pain. Klasse is so easy to spread I just go by hand. What you use as "wax" depends on what you want. I personally don't want to hand wax something all the time and like protection so I lean toward something with more protection and longer life and then usually wipe it down with spray wax after every wash to add some more pop to it.

Also, after spending so much time washing, claying, 2 step correcting your paint. You may also want something with great protection and longevity because the more you have to put in major effort the less you may be willing to keep up with it.

You are right, that’s what they said “This is not my car, after the job properly done” Also “ I don’t wanna drive now “ 😉

Nothing wrong with the cheap brands. I use a harbor freight. But I use quality made pads and product.
