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.
"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.
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!
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.
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.
Good stuff Scott! You've given me the confidence to do my first restoration. Thanks for taking the time!
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.
Much respect for this man, he is honest, helpful, and has a sense of humor!
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!
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!
Scott another good one look forward to watching your paint correction videos, he'll I might even learn something
Lol at hitting the light 😂😂😂... I freaking love this guy!!
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. ; )
Awesome vid Scott. Trying to learn paint correction. I think I’m ready. Thank u for all the tips.
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
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!
Everytime I watch a video like this, I feel smarter. I like the fact, your trying to protect the clear coat. Good information 👍
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.
Thanks for the video Scott. Your videos always teach me something.
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.
This guy is awesome. Thanks for being straight with the topic.
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)
this guy is awesome! watching his videos gave me the confidence to polish my own car!!
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.
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!!!
In England, they call the trunk the "boot," and the hood the "bonnet." Great, great video. Thank you!
Thanks for the advice Scott!!!
F^*king love this guy👍
Thanks for your knowledge of paint correction your more down to earth than others thanks for helping us do what we do
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! 👍
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 😕
I LOVE Scott’s NY accent ❤️
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
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
Scott love your videos! Great lesson! Makes total sense!
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
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!
I have excellent results with Meguiar's Cleaner Wax #6 on both of my late models . It's easy and usually three passes with cheap DA and I'm amazed with the out come . I'm a car nut , and like the shine . I'd had more trouble in the pass with my pickup truck with water spots . It sit outside a year from the factory before I bought her . She's 7 years old and have had people think it's got a new paint job . I'm a Meguiar's man , Love your videos - thank you .
Thanks what pad did you go with with the cleaner wax

Another great video...Thank you!!!
Bonnet is the hood in the UK, the trunk is the Boot......just FYI.
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.

Absolutely Amazing. Wow. It seams so Simple. Thank You!!!
Excellent info, best regards from México.
I have been told to use this method I don't know how many times... fantastic video!!
I love the humor but even more i love the smile... do it more often.... it looks great on you.
what a kind and beautiful thing to say:)...thanks for making me smile...much love and i hope you have a beautiful thanksgiving Cindy
Well i just felt inspired to tell it like i see it kind of like how you are. I'm spending my thanksgiving cooking for my elderly parents which is exactly what i want to be doing! I feel thankful to have them with me on this earth! I hope your thanksgiving is a wonderful Blessed day too. I am loving all your videos I have learned a ton of stuff that I am applying on detailing my fathers car and my own. I finished mine today and then she broke down on me lol . God bless Scott and Keep on smiling!
Great info Scott!
Great video Scott. You teaching skills are great.
I don't think anyone comes to Earth from Heaven to become a detailer voluntarily, this world is compared to a prison and practicing religion sincerely is the only way out of this imperfect temporary world. Of course while we're here we have to work and keep our vehicles looking sharp. Thanks Scott I really liked your harbor freight paint gun wash method. At first I thought you were crazy since you don't appreciate ONR as much as I do but after watching the paint gun video I realized your a nice guy and I've learned from your videos so I must say a big thank you!
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.!!!
this is the kind of info that people need and dont realise they are looking for. One of my issues is, yes people are clear coat chasers with fancy 50/50 shots on instagram, and thats bad obviously, but when channels like "whitedetails" starts every job with menzerna 400, it is confusing. Before i watched this video i already had it in my head that i should start with a very light cutting compound and pad and see how my bmws clear coat responds. "Whitedetails" made me think that was the wrong approach and i should hit it harder than that. I love whitedetails, but this video tells me what way i should be doing it.
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)
MIND BLOWN!!!
GREAT VIDEO
I always do the same procedure Scott...thanks a lot
I like this guy! Thanks for the information Scott.
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.
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.
😂😂 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
least aggressive = gentle
usernamemykel =less invasive :)
Outstanding explanation! Thanks!
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
short and sweet
Great Info.. Makes sense and not silly, Thank You!!
Thanks for the great information and outstanding video...
Love this video in 2018, great experience!
Excellant vlog! Thank you!
Great video
Great advice. Thanks.
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?
Great video buddy.... best wishes from Italy
spot on mate. good advice :)
Australia?...thanks my friend and grateful for your comment and support
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
Can you mix meguiars compound and polish together and what will happen?
Wow Scott ,light bulb moment! Can we be practical about paint correction ! what about profitability ,making more money,getting the car knocked out!go,go,go .All the while you may screw up the customer's vehicle for sake of I took out all the scratches but all the clear is gone! But it is shinny and glossy! It's refreshing to see that there is a baby in the bathwater ,Thank you ! Would you say that 105 and 205 are the standard by which all the other compounds are created!
You’re a great resouce of information just want to say thanks......
you absolutely rock!!!!!!!!
Thanks for video. Should I go over my Roush stickers? Should I clay bar before I start correction?
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?
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?
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?
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
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!
So if that took off 50% would you use 105 still or switch to diamond cut switch is 85 I believe
What you just said on this Video is 100% The Truth And alot of people really don't get that specially when the doing a car So fast like the way they do it on the auto auction And they think they are the best And they don't realize they are killing the clear coat, after 25 years of doing Detailing I'm still learning on the daily basis , Thank you so much for all these videos I have to show them To these people Which they think the are the best Detailer in the world and they are detailer wanna be🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For a beginner, is it ok for me to use this or stick to the shelf polishing compounds?
The trunk is the decklid keep them coming
Make sense!!!
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.
Great video pal
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.
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
What is your determination factor for using 205 vs 105?
What you said is all true. I believe everything you said
good tip 2 others reasons are you might not know how much clear is left and the other is you could make it easier by possibly starting on a lower step less follow up steps. thx good tip
DA polisher in this video?You are a great teacher!
Too bad you don't have many more views on this video. I think you're the only one providing this info.
Message makes a lot of sense...
