THIS is why you’re the best, Matty. You tell people the real shit. That’s why we pay more sometimes, why we pay shipping and why we all trust you.

Matt is the reason I have a gt3.

Always pleasure to hear your experiences Matt, you don’t mess about and it’s very refreshing.

I've found Correcting cream/fast correcting cream to be very easy to work with. Low dust, seems to finish out very nice and easy removal. They definitely got a winner with this one.

I am interested in the Mirka 3" random orbit polisher. Thanks for finding this. Products like this one are why I like OG.

That Mirka polisher looks awesome. This was my first time hearing about it even though it seems to have been around for over a year or so. Car is coming along nicely Matt!

Great video, appreciate all your feedback on what you used, how you did it, and all of semi-pro detailers have had this frustration with certain cars, so thanks for sharing this experience on your Porsche. Just proof that buying a new car has disadvantages sometimes, no matter how much you spend. This story is one very similar to one I’ve had recently with a used black 997.2 I purchased. I tried several compounds to get the myriad of Clearcoat and paint scratches the previous owner never bothered to correct and I think used the “I see it’s dusty or dirty so I’ll use a micro fiber and spray wax method” which also added to nightmare of swirls and scratches. Griots correcting cream was the only thing that seemed to work and actually restored the finish without a tremendous amount of effort. It took 90% of the scratches out, and saved the car. Griots is overpriced in my opinion for some products, but their correcting cream is the real deal, and is worth the money. Their perfecting cream is also good, and their actual polishers they sell are also top notch. For certain projects and cars, Griots is a great option….

Keep up the GT3 videos! Awesome spec!

cheers from Australia Great channel been watching for years

Thanks for all the polishing info.

Love the color of the car! Looks good on the video! Turned out really nice 👍

Already have that little Mirka on the way, can't wait for the guys to try it out!!

I used the fast correcting cream to get scratches and swirls out of my Macan a few weekends ago using my Rupes polisher. The stuff works. Nice results

If & when I’m bored, I watch MM car/detail videos for entertainment & light comedy. This dude’s OCD/mannerisms/style just cracks me up! BTW the Touring looks 🔥🥇🇩🇪 Cheers mate/B

Mirca makes very solid tools. I have used the Griots Boss products. They have just worked well.

Protection overkill. Can't wait to see the end result

That sux to hear about the paint issues. When I was young working at a dealership, new cars for a while were coming in with horrific paint issues. We were guessing they were shipping the cars with too fresh soft paint and the diesel exhaust was in-bedding into the paint during transport. Loved the pink car jokes big time Matt...I was LMAO! Note: that Testosterone as been reduced by 50% in the last 20 years or less due to endless endocrine disruptors and then there is Atrazine on top of that...

Mirka are great, following the company for years but never bought them as i couldnt get a demo from a rep to hear what they sound like and run like and most were pneumatic

I use Mirka in the woodworking world - the ergonomics of their stuff is insane.

Koch chemie's yellow bottle with purple wool pad and 3-4 inch pad is what ive used with my mirka arop312 and or flex pxe80 for the newer Porsche and GM/GMC and finish if needed with a white pad.

I don't have the time or patience, so I did a clear wrap on my 992 GT3, GT4 RS, 992 GT3 RS (on the ship now, arrives in 3 weeks), and Macan S (it's black and looks great because of it). I did race livery on my 992 GT3 Cup car. Porsche paint umis water based for the environment...it's weak and hard to maintain....so I always wrap. You can see them on my channel. Edit: Ineven did a full clear wrap on my 2021 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition (2021 was the final year for the LC in the US, after 62 years of production...and the new ones sold outside the US are not naturally aspirated V8s...they are turbo or diesel 6 cylinders. Toyota paint is heartier than Porsche paint, but I'll have this collector SUV in my collection forever...so I got it wrapped.

let me know when the mirka is in the store. thanks. I always liked my focal woofers but the tweeters were too harsh, i ended up doing hertz silk dome tweeters with the focal woofers and it was pretty awesome.

Hey Matt, very interested in that polisher. Unfortunately, it’s a bit expensive but it sure seems awesome. also, curious about the very very red cabinets I guess we’ll see. The touring looks awesome sorry, the paint was such a bitch, but you figured it out You always do,have a great one.

For me, the Mirka is a non-starter without a trigger lock. When you have to hold a trigger like that with your finger, it locks up your arm and causes a lot more fatigue. Also isn't going to be good for guys who have been detailing a long time and already have nerve and joint issues. If they could fix that, they might have something. Fast Correcting Cream is great stuff (easily one of their best products) but i think The Last Cut compound checks all the same boxes with more cut and better finish.

I can't wait for the experiment with the Opti-Coat Pro 3 under the PPF. The amount of crap people talked on that facebook post was amazing. Does OPT still tout Opti-Coat as a permanent coating? I remember years back with their Pro version they described the science that it actually became a part of the clearcoat and wasn't removable. Would suck if the experiment went south and this was still the case. There'd still be the coating I guess.

@jeffc6832

The Opti-Coat Pro coatings are awesome, and yes they pretty much need to be sanded off. Good news is that slickness is not their strong suit, so the PPF shouldn't have any issues sticking. Dane from TRC had Opti-Coat Pro+ on a Jaguar he used to own, he later did a vinyl wrap on it and they didn't have any problems.

Why did Meguiars stop making the M39? It seems to be a killer product!

have you ever thought of using a strong dose of touchless after polishing, to get rid of all the dust in the gaps?

I've been guarding my bottle of M39 and hopefully a replacement is in our future. Hey Matt have you got a chance to try Doctor G's fifth iteration of ONR yet? I'd love to see your impression.

I figured that you would know this but maybe not. Like 70% or better of car care companies come from the same manufacturer. Proof is in the juice your were getting similar results from several products. The body shop introduced me to brand I had never heard in my 8 years of detailing. At first what is brand why trying to be a knockoff. After I used the product a couple of times with average results I decided to research the brand at home. Come to find out they source all their ingredients to make their abrasive powders that make all of their compounds and polishes. They are a us based company and their success is due one chemist that designs all of their from soap all the way up to ceramic. Back to their compounds and polishes I found after my research that if used their as recommended I had great results. Most companies the old 3-4 dime size blobs on your pad and not this company the recommend that you be very liberal because that is where the abrasive tech is. The also make a real all in one polish that works on most vehicles with in reason. And they make one of kind foam pads they call spider pads. The pads spread open holding more product delivering a bigger pass and the best cutting foam pad I've ever used. The brand is called 3D which is why I judged them as knockoff brand like as I'm sure many others have. I recommend you check them out I think you'll be suprised.
