My man I started cleaning cars a long time ago before all this you tube stuff and it was hard I was polishing and waxing by hand using over the counter mess there was no-one to get info from and detailing was a big secret if you wasn't in a shop you were lost.i was going house to house cleaning and made good $$$$ on day i got online and Griots garage came up and that stuff was considered expensive back then and i got their porter cable kit and things really changed,now all these products and info out here is crazy keep doing what you do F#%& the haters bro they will always be here maybe one day I'll post a cleaning session good luck peace

This is the absolute best comment. I’m 23 but I grew up with my father having me go outside and do what I thought was just waxing. Overtime I learned he was having me wax it at times and correct it at others. It was the first ever taste of detailing, and I didn’t even know it was a thing. He just had me keeping his cars nice lol.

This is facts. Keep doing ya thing Wilson. There is always be people who think they’re more right than others. You do what works for you and you bring it out for people to learn from you. I for sure appreciate your info. A diverse set of info is what makes us better, whether its learning from you, or pan, or detail geek. You all provide amazing information for people who can’t afford classes or workshops to learn quality info. Thank you.
Im looking for that kind of product to save à step..... this is gonna be thé product that will choose. Thanks luke!
Using dual action polisher I recommend for entry level detailers. It’s hard to make errors and doesn’t leave swirl marks. I prefer the good old fashion dewalt polisher over dual action polisher. I’m saying this because of heavy oxidation and deep scratches vehicles will not give you great results with a simple dual action. Best dual action I’ve used is the mt300. You will use many products and pads just for a section at a time. But it gives you the results of a dewalt first and using a dual action polisher to finish the vehicle.
Thanks for taking the time to help people out who are just getting started, like me. I can tell you have a lot of passion for what you do.
Of all the detailing KZreadrs out there I really feel like you're the best at explaining everything. I thank you for that. Keep up the great work!

dear luke, what tells you when to add more product into the polisher. I don't know how to regulate that as a car enthusiast . thanks GREAT CHANEL. could you used a pattern foam pad ? with this product ?
Great work bro , i did this paint correction but with meguiars d300 and torqx polisher . How long this process polishing and finish wax taxes you?
So...I bought a new car the other day and the applied resistall on the car without taking out the swirls, does anyone know how to remove resistall?
You make using a polisher look so easy, Luke. Up to this point, I've been afraid to even try to use a DA on an actual vehicle.
Thx for actually showing us the entire process and explaining u did. I just did a car too but I have those rids u mentioned. Any help on what I can use to get those less noticeable? Would I have to do a 2 step for those? Yes I use 3D one too.
Good video. Patience is key. Comments are what they are. Duplication is key to getting the most, that shine you want. Chill, relax and listen is the best way to understand where he is coming from. Simplicity, patience. Keep doing these videos for us who want to be good in doing this and get a smile at the end. Thanks!
so after doing this you can still add ceramic? did you claybar it?

HD recommends using One followed by Poxy. Speed however is described as a single use combination mix between One and Poxy however its just not as strong as using them seperately. They mention use of One and Poxy for a first time customer paying for a detail paint correction then Speed alone on follow up jobs. They all are three EXCELLENT products!
When polishing painted bumper part can we use same speed or we have to lower speed as it is plastic?
hi wilson auto detailing that polisher me Do you recommend more, maxshine 15 or maxshine 15 pro

What’s the difference between a 1 step 2 step 3 step paint correction? Also, if polishing is for bringing out the shine and remove small blemishes, and there are pads that attack the scratches more harder, do you need to use “compound”?
@utzdeac
4 жыл бұрын
one step gives you a level o correction, 2 steps gives you more correction, multi steps are for "show car". yes, the compound is for removing more clear coa,t so more defects and after compound you need to polish to refine the clear coat, usually the compound will leave haze in the clear coat and with polish you will remove that haze/holograms and bring the shine

Awesome work and info shared by you. I have 2 Deep Black Metallic Cars and your Video and tips shared will have me purchase and use the same items for my 2 2018 Deep Black Vehicles (Mini Countryman S and VW GTi SE Mk7.5)
Is this the same as the hd speed in terms of staining the pad? When I clean my pad, it leaves stain marks on the pad. Almost looks like dye and will never go away. Does the one step give you that problem?
Like the tip videos. Maybe it’ll help get rid of the holograms I seem to leave behind
Great video Luke! I especially liked the part where you mention where beginners(I included) mess up when learning to do paint correction. One would be quick to blame the tool, but you can get good results with any tool, but if you don't know how to maneuver that tool, you won't see results. It's all just practice in the end. Thanks also for showing a little of how you handle the DA on the front bumper cover, something we don't see enough of during these instructional videos. Cheers Luke!
The paint looked hazy after. Was that just the lighting or do you think switching pads would’ve clear it up?

I have the 15mm throw and the 21mm throw pro series DA's from maxshine. I often find myself between 3 and 4 on the speed dial. Nice to see that others experience similar things. Also, with 3D one, Brian from Apex detail and Pan the organizer really suggest using a uro pad. those guys often times will use that combo as a one step enhancement.

Question/ maybe you answered it already.you can use a da on fairly lite scratches on plastic painted clear coated front trim/ spoilers etc.? Great vid.come to monterey,,got enough work to make it worth yourwhile.
Luke. I noticed that you didn’t wipe the compound before moving to the next section. Doesn’t it dry and become hard to remove? Did you do the second step polish without wiping off the compound? I have heard that body shops will compound new paint and then wash off any remaining compound, but I’ve never tried it. Can you elaborate on what you did? Thanks.

And if you're using HD One you aren't supposed to wipe it off even if you are doing a two step. You just change your pad to your polishing pad after you have done your cutting.

Now yeah in the beginning ya should check your work but once you have established that the ONe is giving the results you like, which it will...then do like said above
I love your explanations man
Just learning. Started detailing 2 weeks ago, gotta use 400gsm ish towels to wipe compound off or you get marks from towel :(

The Maxshine is PERFECT for an enthusiast and even as a daily driver on a budget. You're not going to get different results using a Rupes 21mm/ 15mm throw DA vs. a Maxshine 21mm/ 15mm throw DA. Meshing together certain products, Backing plates, Pad types, Pad brands, comfort in your overall movement, arm speed, pressure, cycling the product properly etc. is what's going to give you different results. There's pros and cons to every long throw DA no matter what the cost. It really just depends on your preference.

He’s not very skilled...he’s trying to cut time by using more polish and buffing larger sections at a time which is really just cutting corners. Sometimes he doesn’t even apply pressure as he’s compounding. Also also, he’s not overlapping his passes by 10 - 15 percent 🤦🏻♂️ Much better to use less compound and buff 18x18 or 24x24 sections at a time. Also noticed he doesn’t respond to comments on the channel often, if at all.
