I have watched endless paint correction and detailing videos, I am doing my first correction tomorrow. This video has definitely renewed my confidence, thanks Scott.
Got my first basic detail scheduled for this Saturday! I was doing a free detail with my gfs aunt and their neighbor came to ask.
Great Video, Very inspirational.
My 93 year old Father in-law has a white 2000 Buick Regal that hasn't been washed or cared for in years... I took the challenge. I washed the vehicle, (twice), I decided I would clay bar the vehicle right before using the cutting compound. I clayed and used the Ultra cut compound on the hood in four sections and it went O.K. I changed the pad and clayed and "cut" the trunk lid, it too went well. My situation occurred when I left the trunk and went to the roof I forgot to use the clay bar on my first section... I stopped, cleaned it up, and began to clay the roof. Returning to My Polisher and cutting compound the polisher was jumping around and the compound was caking and very difficult to remove... I didn't know what was going on at first but I figured it out: The pad was filthy and need to be cleaned, just one small section without claying and it gummed up the works. KEEP THOSE PADS CLEAN!
"maybe before I came to Earth..."
One of the reasons I love this channel! :)
I felt Scott was being fun and loose when he started the video off.
Scott...every time I watch your videos, I’m amazed at how well you explain paint correcting philosophy...and how I have been thinking the same things for years....especially about preserving the clear coat !....love you brother !
Thanks for not editing out when you hit the overhead light, I laughed so hard! Love your channel.
Good stuff Scott! You've given me the confidence to do my first restoration. Thanks for taking the time!
100%agree pal great vid for the new guys 20yrs ago we had to figure this out on our own. Lead by example and keep up the info for them I don't know how to make these vids otherwise I would try it out my self but with guys like you they are in good hands. I watch because you never know what you still might learn what you didn't know. After 52yrs on this planet every day is a new day to learn. Remain teachable is how I approach this work because once you think you learned it all you are done. Thanks John @Carefree Auto Detailing LongIsland NY
This has honestly got to be some of the absolute best car detailing DIY information that I have honestly come across in recent times. I really mean this. You were able to start to show me a better way of looking at this process instead of automatically assuming things based off of what so many others are saying as good advice. Thanks Scott for the info! I don't leave a lot of comments but felt compelled to do so on this one. Great info. Looking forward to more videos as they come along.
Much respect for this man, he is honest, helpful, and has a sense of humor!
Great personality behind an uncanny skill for teaching.
Whether it be from a passion for the craft or a desire to help people or both you do a great job!
Awesome vid Scott. Trying to learn paint correction. I think I’m ready. Thank u for all the tips.
Glad I found this realistic detailing channel so damn honest. UK - Trunk = Boot , Hood = Bonnet (y)
I knew this from watching Top Gear
And the roof is called the hood!
This was the very best I have ever seen on doing a test spot! WOW! Thank you for teaching us how to test. Again thank you.
Scott another good one look forward to watching your paint correction videos, he'll I might even learn something
Thanks for the video Scott. Your videos always teach me something.
Thanks for the advice Scott!!!
Hey, Scott Really enjoyed this first Paint Correction information, good job, I'll look forward to more of them to follow, Thank you
Excellent VIDEO and great humor. Thanks for giving advice about testing the truck.
God made a funny....he dropped you in Texas and gave you a Jersey accent...
Your videos are teaching me alot! Thank you and God Bless America!
Scott love your videos! Great lesson! Makes total sense!
Everytime I watch a video like this, I feel smarter. I like the fact, your trying to protect the clear coat. Good information 👍
Great video Scott. You teaching skills are great.
I very much enjoy your approach to your work.
1. Keeping it simple
2. Being practical
3. Least time and energy wasted
4. Economical
5. Etc., etc.
You're a joy to watch, and strangely, for some subliminal reason, I think I should be wearing my Stetson while I enjoy your vids. ; )
Lol at hitting the light 😂😂😂... I freaking love this guy!!
Scott you are awesome! Good tips ,good info. I like to use a cutting pad with the least aggressive compund in my shelf and the work my way up! 👍
Scott
Great tips and advise, you are right, nobody out there talks about how to do it the right way, thanks for those valuable tips,
George
Another great video...Thank you!!!
Thanks for your knowledge of paint correction your more down to earth than others thanks for helping us do what we do
I love your "gentle" and less aggressiveness method. Simplicity is the best in everything in life! (The way you talk, reminds me of the Italian comedian Sebastian Maniscalco..lol)
Jose From Los Angeles.
Absolutely Amazing. Wow. It seams so Simple. Thank You!!!
Great info Scott!
this guy is awesome! watching his videos gave me the confidence to polish my own car!!
I always do the same procedure Scott...thanks a lot
MIND BLOWN!!!
GREAT VIDEO
This guy is awesome. Thanks for being straight with the topic.
Excellent info, best regards from México.
Outstanding explanation! Thanks!
I like this guy! Thanks for the information Scott.
Have a Toy Prius v with the acrylic (non-opening) roof panels. There appears to be no scratches or swirls, however, wanted to get your advice, Scott. Should I even think about polishing it or just wash, clay and perhaps use some Meg's Xpress Wax? I know the paint needs to be clayed so I'm relatively certain the acrylic roof will as well. Thanks in advance.
Great advice. Thanks.
Makes a lot of sense love watching also listening to your videos the patters great that’s talking in the uk keep it up Scott Dave ( uk)
Thanks for the great information and outstanding video...
Excellant vlog! Thank you!
Great stuff. Do you ever find you need to switch to a more aggressive pad for heavy scratches on a panel or do you use a light pad all the way around?
Love this video in 2018, great experience!
Great Info.. Makes sense and not silly, Thank You!!
God bless you Scott! Amazing knowledge, amazing information, you have helped me so much with my business, you have no idea brother. Keep up the excellent work. Jesus loves you.
Thanks for video. Should I go over my Roush stickers? Should I clay bar before I start correction?
Love this guy
Great video buddy.... best wishes from Italy
Hey Scott I've got some soft Honda paint and am going to start with Megs 205 and a white pad. After the test spot when you said it got rid of about 40% of defects, what would you do next? More passes or switch up to an orange pad? Thanks!
I have been told to use this method I don't know how many times... fantastic video!!
In England, they call the trunk the "boot," and the hood the "bonnet." Great, great video. Thank you!
Hi, Scott, I have viewed several of your videos and really appreciate your down to earth personality and sense of humor. I'm new to the car detailing business and by new I mean, I haven't had a customer yet, I've been practicing on my own car and family members lol. I've been a Master Electrician my entire life and am also a youth pastor but due to severe back problems, I have had to find a supplemental source of income without the wear and tear duties of my profession as an electrician. I have always enjoyed cleaning cars and am a perfectionist by nature so I feel I can be a decent car detailer, the downside to that is I think I will pick out every small blemish and not be as profitable as possible. I really enjoyed your videos and subscribed to your channel. I've purchased some basic products and minor equipment to get better results but being new at this field I would like to have all of the essentials to give my customers the best-finished product as possible, this is going to take quite a while because I am on an extremely tight budget due to taking a leave of absence from my current job. I'm going to start with interior detailing, exterior washing and waxing and hopefully work my way into paint correction. I never realized there were so many steps to a fully finished exterior professional waxed vehicle. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated. Also if it's not rude to ask, what is a good price to charge for interior detail, including vac, fully shampooed interior, dash/trim cleaning and treatment, windows, exterior wash, clay bar treatment, rewash, pre-wax glaze, sealant then finally finished waxed vehicle. I live in northern KY and when I Google prices they are all over the spectrum. I know this is a very lengthy personal comment but would really appreciate any info you could share you seem like a really nice and approachable guy. Like I said I'm a complete rookie at this so no information you could share would be too elementary.
Thanks so much, Josh
MAN this is great. If you don't understand what needs to be done first, your assumptions could be wildly off! 100% agree! More focus on prep to understand the rest. Been watching you and I'm attacking my '97 Toyota Land Cruiser that's been in the sun in AZ for 25 years! It's a MESS! But ... I did a hand test with 205, got about 30% out. Went to HF and bought the DAP you went over on your last video I watched. I will go through the wash, degrease, clay bar, 105, 205, polish, ceramic wax process. Don't care how long it takes and I may not do it like a pro (you!) but with the education you have provided I will have a nice looking finish. All in I am $150 on products including the DAP, serious paint correction on this truck in Phoenix is $800+. I'll take the chance on it for now. THANKS!!!
What do you do on the edges and folds of the panles? Do you remove pressure from the rotart on those spots as to not burn the clear coat?
Absolutely the best advice for paint correction! I watched some others that are unfortunately super popular that suggested wet sanding scratches way to much and I listened and in a small section about half an inch squared took off my clear coat completely and was like shit I can't go back now... start out light! I'd rather have that scratch more visible then missing my clear 😕
Hi.
I want to ask while doing paint correction, how do v get to know that a panel needs sanding first before compounding.
Coz in many videos i have seen people sanding the surface and then compunding and in some videos people directly use the compound with dual action polisher
so, if a light polish like 205 on a white pad didn't quite get you there would you then step up to an orange pad with 205? Or go to a heavier compound on an orange pad?
Also, re: 105. The more I see of the Griot's stuff the more impressed I am. Starting with the white pad and Griot's Perfecting vs 205? Any thoughts on that?
F^*king love this guy👍
Can i use this product(Griots Boss Correcting Cream) for test spot? or should i use a lighter polish? like Sonax Perfect Finish or Meguiars M205? with White LC foam pad. Sorry for all this question(Newbie here) :D Thanks Scott again i hope you reply. Cheers!
Can you mix meguiars compound and polish together and what will happen?
Maguire's 105 Mirror Glaze ultra cut compound. To take out light scratches from my SUV by hand rabbling or do I need to use a machine on the SUV
What are some tips you would suggest doing to handle M105 and keep from dusting?
Whats the difference between paint correction and compound and wax a car? What is in the paint prep you use. I enjoy your videos and would love it if you put a list in your description of that products you use. In another video you used Griot's Garage Correcting Cream , I get lost in products you recommend
I'm in south Florida, bad enough hot and humid, but I've no garage, no shade for my truck, not even a driveway, just parked in it's assigned parking spot but within distance of a LONG hose and a LONG extension cord from my house.
So how is one to do all the necessary steps for my truck's paint care if rarely my truck has any shade within distance to my water hose and electricity?
Many thanks, in advance, for your forthcoming response.
Hey Scott, which product would you recommend for a first time polisher? Griot's garage, as you've done in one of your other videos, M105 or M205?
I LOVE Scott’s NY accent ❤️
So after the test spot if you notice there is still about 60% scratches. Do I go back with a compound and do less passes or the same? Or do I go to another test spot?
Great video
Great video pal
For a beginner, is it ok for me to use this or stick to the shelf polishing compounds?
hey Scott ,job well done posting videos left and right for us . Just wanna say that here in Puerto Rico is getting pretty busy on this call detailing and paint correction industry, i have a question can you mix different creams compounds and sealants without having any adverse reaction to each other..appreciated if you do make a video....thank and god bless
great question...i personally wouldn't mix different compounds and sealants together...could be fun to just try and see what happens:)
Hi Scott, I just bought my first polisher (Griots 6" DA). Can you tell me if the LC Light Cut Pad you started with will fit on the Griots 6". Also, What is, in your opinion a better product combo, the Meguiars 105/205 combo or the Menzerna 400/3500 pair. is there a significant quality difference between the 2 competing product pairs? Thanks Mark
griots 6 da comes with a 6 inch backing plate..in this video I'm using a 5 inch backing plate used with 5.5 inch buffing pads...so typically 6 inch backing plates are for 6 to 6.5 inch pads...you can get the lake country force pads for the 6 inch backing plates..Menzerna would be a better combo for someone new to paint correction..meguiars can dust more but i have a lot of time with 105 and 205
spot on mate. good advice :)
Australia?...thanks my friend and grateful for your comment and support
great work
Is this better than Ultimate compound and Ultimate polish?
😂😂 Scott hits the light cause he’s getting exited immediate my first thought ( I have to give this guy a thumbs up) 👍🏼
Keep up the great work Scott I enjoy your video and I’m learning a lot!!!
P.S I bought the Purple Power soap 🧼 and now I’m using it all over the house as well that stuff is great! Thanks again
You’re a great resouce of information just want to say thanks......
What is your determination factor for using 205 vs 105?
So if that took off 50% would you use 105 still or switch to diamond cut switch is 85 I believe
you absolutely rock!!!!!!!!
First time I started a mobile detail buisness I did 2 step so was cutting with 3M FastCut + on a DA and then a 3 in 1 POLISh so I could go quicker on a use-to-be black car.
Bonnet is the hood in the UK, the trunk is the Boot......just FYI.
I keep coming back to this...for the knowledge...and the jokes...heaven, star trek, people slamming trunks. More people slamming trunks. LOL.
One thing, starting out with light pad and light polish will also tell you if you have soft paint right?
thats what id like to know too
Man I've been watching quite a few of your videos. Without seeing your face, I keep picturing Alan Alda from M.A.S.H.!!!
Great logic Scott. Makes perfect sense. As a beginner tho. Why not offer a system of use with compounds. Meaning like you just did in this video showing how you would use Sonax, or Scholl concept, or meguiars, to start out test spots with what pads
What is the best compound an polish that doesnt dust?
Scott, what does the paint prep consist of?
Very logical dude here! Definitely agree on the overhead as far as time & equipment used. Most off all. The amount of material you're exfoliating vs preserving!
Can I get away with a rotary and can I use wool pad for 105 or just a fine pad
Scott...why is it that the more videos I watch I noticed comments or other people saying that you don't know what you are doing? I happen to love your videos and take your advice. You do an excellent job. I was thinking of driving my truck down from Wisconsin to Dallas just to have you take care of a few scratches I can't seem to get out! Great videos keep up the hard work. most people with a brain disregard the idiot comments
Scott I have watched a lot of your videos. Purchased a Harbor Freight da going to try on my CRV. Thanks for your honest videos. What I would like to see a car that has never been detailed dirty car. A watch the steps to do restore paint and polish. Not a test panel that is shinny already. Is it possible?
Also you mentioned at 17:58 that there's a lot of questions to ask clients before doing the job. What would some of those questions be?
Luis Espinal You are definitely going to want to ask some of these questions.
1. Has anyone else detailed the car before?
If the customers answer is yes you want start asking what the other person did. Did they do paint correction, the interior or and the exterior etc.
2. The year, make and model are important that can usually tell you how "hard" or "soft the paint is.
3. Once you have worked that out with your customer. You need to gauge them and understand their expectations. If they are expecting their car to look like a show car after you and the customer agreed on a All In One product that is just unrealistic. When the customer wants one of your services. You need to clearly explain what exactly they are getting. You kind of lower their expectations and then still deliver an amazing result.
I hope I helped you out my friend. Have blessed day!
Hey Scott what compound should a beginner like myself use on vehicle that's never been polished? It's a 2008 Black Ford F150 with plenty swirls and water spots. I've tried Meguiar's Ultimate Compound with little success. I got my hands full watching your videos 😂😂
Since he didn't answer you, I'll step in. Call Griots Garage. Their stuff is awesome. Do you have a DA or circular machine?
The trunk is the decklid keep them coming
least aggressive = gentle
usernamemykel =less invasive :)
Scoot why now you're not doing any video ? your video teaching us about paint correction really the most practical things compare to other channel.
can i use m205 and then ceramic coat the car ?
