Great job and video, as a professional detailer of 17 years , I own a mobile detail business in Las Vegas. I'm really enjoy watching your channel and I also use the 3D One and Griots Fast correction cream. both great products. Keep up the great work
Thank you, Keith!! Appreciate that a lot!! How's the detailing down in Vegas?? Hope everything is good my friend. 🤙 3f One and FCC are definitely great products. Look forward to expand out and try more as I go along. Thank you for watching and take it easy man!👍✊
The Intro caught me off guard. I like it. Nice work on the Accord also. Turned out great considering the previous condition of the paint. I’m always amazed at all the Honda’s I see on the road with missing clear coat. Honda must apply the thinnest clear coat in the industry.
Thanks Andy! Haha yeah, same here. I see just as many with clear burned through than not!😄 precisely why I was treading lightly. Appreciate you watching man!✊✊
You have your channel in the people & blogs setting with UA-cam although most of your content is about auto detailing. You may want to change that so UA-cam knows how to recommend your content and who to target for your audience
I enjoyed this video because you seem more relatable than many of the other "big" channels. At 20:56 you said "is it perfect? no way!" - I dig that. Pan made a video a few months ago & he suggested we should stop chasing "perfect". Many of these videos have us brainwashed to think our paint should looks flawless all the time and that simply isn't reasonable for a daily driven ride. The results we get may not look perfect up close & under a light but from a few feet away it can look stunning! And thats really all that matters. cheers
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. I really appreciate that! I 100% agree that these people have everyone brain washed that perfection when it doesn't exist! That you've " failed " if every little tiny scratch isn't removed hahaha, yeah, right! Lol some great results without compromising clear is what your after. Pan is absolutely right and I consider him a friend! Once again thanks for taking the time to tune in. !!! ✊️✊️✊️✊️
You did Awesome , Great Combo choice of products/pads... if your friend wash and protects the car often, it will remain that way for years to come! Great Job!
Thanks, Dan!! Yes, I filled him in as we did the car as to what was going on and why I was doing it the way I was. Also, everything knowledge wise to maintain the car👌👌👌 thank you for watching!!!
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! This was a fun one! Currently JUST finishing a 2018 black Sport 🤣what are the odds! Shot a video and will be out soon 👍👍
Wow! Professional looking video with the music and introduction. Great step-by-step pictorial and explanation. Awesome turn around on the paint finish on the Accord. Overall fantastic video brother!
404 man thank you brother!! I really appreciate your words!! Means more than ya know! Trying to put together some better quality vids for you all🤙🤙 it turned out awesome!! Him and his wife were VERY happy👍 and now picked up a few more jobs from there friends 👌 thank you for the continued support my friend! Take care.!
I’m getting ready to ceramic coat my black 4Runner. I’m going to be using the 3D one and the euro 50/50 pads with the Rupes ultra ultra fine white pads to polish. For polishing I’ll be using 3D one or Rupes uno pure. First time using my polishers. Hope it comes out ok. Thanks for showing this combo.
That should be a great combo! 👍 just take your time and don't over think it! You got this... have a Blatt and enjoy the amazing results! 🤝 if you need anything please don't hesitate to reach out my friend🤜🤛. Thank you for watching!
You have a wonderful approach to detailing, which I love a lot. I can feel the passion in your voice as you do your thang, keep the great content coming.
Hahaha yeah he still has the Hybrid Solutions lineup maintaining it and it still looks good!!!! But he said he was ready to try something new so your right!
Hahahaha that was part of his contract agreement 🤣🤣🤣 I guess you can say I'm a pro! Lol jk jk. Far from that. Thanks HOOF hope all is well my friend!! Take her easy!!!✊✊
Great job man , and just from my couple experiments I’ll tell turtle wax give hard times to wipe it off so you spray some water and wipe off that’s what I saw apex do , but the 3D one I think you should work it more than couple passes and it we’ll wipe off faster and easier just tell what happened to me but overall great man you turned that car to shine like diamond.
Thanks man! Appreciate that! Yeah, I've encountered that issue a while back with high spots after applying a little tooo much product lol. Damp microfiber to clear it up 👍 thank you. I was wondering why it was sort of a pain to wipe off. I'm pretty sure that in combination of way to much product was my issue. As I worked around the car I definitely was realizing how much cycle time 3d One has.It's awesome. . So I worked it much longer as time went on. Was my first actual full job with 3d One. I look forward to playing around with it more🤙 appreciate you watching!!✊✊
nice video i really like watching your vids because you just a normal guy that likes to detail and recommend stuff thats not going to break the bank with good results keep it up!
Thanks, Barnes! Appreciate that! Yup, just a weekend warrior/enthusiast here 🤙🤙 who loves to detail and try new products! Figured why not share my fun and passion with others. Thanks for watching👍
3D One is my go to at work, and in my own business. I use the Uro-Fiber or Uro-Tech Coarse Blue foam for cutting, and the Yellow to finish polish with. Nine out of ten times it works perfectly. At work I'll use AAT501 when the paint is harder, and AAT502 when ONE isn't finishing down like I want, which has so far only been one car out of dozens. The home based biz I use the ACA line to compliment 3D ONE. Overall I've been very, VERY impressed with 3D's abrasive offerings. They were what I always wanted in a polish and compound. They work like polishes, and don't like to dust. Extreme cut availability, and show car gloss polishing...
That is great information and I appreciate you sharing that! I need to get into more of the 3d abrasive lineup for SURE! 3d one is so versatile I have been loving it man! I'll have to look into those uro tech pads too.. thank you once again and I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video ✊✊
@@PapaSmurf918Detail - No problem! The Uro-Tech are very similar to the Rupes Foam formulas. The yellow feels a tad more "spongy", but the white feels finer and softer. The maroon is similar to green, but doesn't deteriorate like the green. Blue coarse is almost identical, and their new dark blue (sits between the yelllo and maroon) is nothing like any of the Rupes pads. What's nice about 3D is that you can go to Autoality and find their products in the 8oz trial size. I bought all of them because I carry the bottle around the vehicle with me as I work. I just pour product out of the 32oz into those bottles as needed. Great channel for sure! You, like Jon (Forensic), Brian (Apex), and Hawk Pro have great attitudes and personalities. It amazes me how unpleasant crybabies get such huge folllwings...
That's a great idea in the little tiny bottles.. makes it easier to carry 👍👍 I'll have to pick up the smaller bottles and get to trying!! And thanks man! I to watch those channels👍 awesome stuff they have! Very down to earth.. I feel some people just let it go to there head🤣 I just love helping and sharing my learning experience with those who want to watch!😁 take care my friend!!
Hey thanks Hank!!! Appreciate that! Haha but my channel is far from big! At least to me anyways. Lol your doing an awesome job bro! Just keep at it and you will be big man!!! Take it easy my friend!!🤙✊
Papa love your work and so much info its almost hard to keep up with but for us beginners. One thing that would be awesome is if you added a list of products you use, I know you say the names but its hard to keep track of all of them and watch, and I also missed the name of the break/wheel cleaner you where using. I for sure need that before I ceramic coat my rims. thanks again from all of us fans!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!!! Your right I'm so terrible at putting links/lists of products I used. I try to be better on my more recent videos 👍👍 I know it's hard to keep up will a lot of information. On this job I believe I used P&S Brake Buster on rims and tires. I'll try to put s list in the description for ya!!!👍👍 thank you for taking the time to watch !!!🤜🤛🤝
Really like your content and how you’re just an average detail enthusiast. I had to subscribe and I only subscribe to people I think are awesome. Keep up the good work
Excellent work! Love the intro! Black isn't a color, it's a career! Haha. I've done quite a few black vehicles. They're the most work... they're also the most rewarding. Keep doing Your thing!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I truly enjoy Your channel! You're a regular dude like I am that is passionate about detailing! Good minds think alike. There's nothing like Your own reaction when a black vehicle is improved! If it isn't Your own, the owners reaction is so awesome! Like it was painted. This is 100% The Golden Era of detailing. Sadly, we have to watch what we do as clear coat is at an all time low(Per Brian/Apex Detail). It doesn't look like that'll change... perhaps it'll worsen! It is how it is. Thank You for this reply!
@@J1Z06 man I really appreciate that, Jay!!! 🤝 it's comments from people like you that drive me to make more content!🤙 sadly it sucks how thin clear is these days... with the price of these vehicles these days they could at LEAST put a good amount of clear!🤣
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Not every channel is enjoyable! This You know! 😂 Yeah, for $30k, the freaking vehicle should have a decent finish! I've buffed My '04 Z06 three times since 8.24.05 and "just" hit the primer at the top of the mirrors(there's a line/edge) it's liked Total Swirl Remover+Finishing glaze(Wolfgang twins) Menzerna nano, and a few others. I'm careful more now than ever. I just got in to foam cannons etc, two bucket washes recently... I wish I'd known sooner, lol, probably could have saved some clear! Oh well, still looks good for a 5th Gen Z06. By all means, keep making vids! Your channel will grow as it's terrific! Thank You again!
@@J1Z06 man what a beautiful car that Z06 is!!! Shoot can't complain for 16+ years! They just don't make em like they used too!! Bet it still looks gorgeous man 👍👍 I'll keep on keeping on brother thank you. Foam cannons have there purpose as do 2 bucket methods. Coulda shoulda woulda brotha all we can do is what we can! Take it easy man! ✊✊✊
I use General Purpose Thinners to get Paint Transferr off before compounding, works a charm, yes it drys out the paint a touch but its the fastest way and gets 100% of the transfer off with no effort. On single stage paint just be light on it and it'll be fine, clear coats you dont need to be so careful.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail yes, the underlying damage will never be corrected unless it was a very light touch and not gouging against a rough surface but the paint transfer itself will come off with little effort. Just make sure it's not Paint Thinners. I've seen people use it and with bad results for obvious reasons 😅
I really enjoy these videos! I would like to see a test with the turtle wax black ceramic wax to see how you think it would do! My daughter has a black metallic Mazda 6! I’ve been wanting to try it on her car! I have used the Turtle was One and Done ☑️ and like how it works! Great job as usual my friend! Really appreciate these videos! They are so informative 👍👏
Danny I can't thank you enough man! 🤙 appreciate it!!! I actually have a video on the ceramic acrylic black polish! 👍👍 it's a ways back in my videos but I enjoyed it! Did great in the Hyundai I worked on! Thanks for taking the time to watch and support bud! 🤜🤛
Great job!!! Looks amazing. It take me all day as well for a two step. Just like you i really like spray onkm protections now. MEG HCW is on my Honda 15.
Thank you! Haha man this thing kicked my butt, but it was worth it! Definitely been loving technology with these spray coatings. Ease of application and durability are awesome. Appreciate you watching my friend!🤙🤙
@@PapaSmurf918Detail most DEF. I like these things I am an enthusiast... amd I can bet it it was difficult. Especially the contours on the hood, door, side body. My 15 isnt as curved as the 16 but still it sucks.
I have my first customer job coming up next week. It's a black Dodge Caliber. It is scratched and swirled as bad as the car in your video. I think I'm going to use Shiney's Cutting Polish on it, then either Ethos CWP or The Last Coat. Iron removal and clay also. This vehicle is probably the biggest challenge I've had so far. I have an Aprilia cycle coming up to. Either this Saturday or next week. That will be fun. Then the new jobs will pour in like they always do. I look forward to it.
That's awesome you've got your first customer!!! Please make sure to keep me posted! I say Cutting polish from shineys and then TLC!!! that's what I would do. But it's up to you my friend! Maybe use CWP on the Aprillia🤙
That's the first customer this year. Everyone has been holding off due to the virus. I wasn't into doing them either. I'm still not going to do interiors yet. With your input I will go with the TLC. Will be the first time. Thanks for the help.
Thank you!! And right you are! I like the product a little more every time I use it! Cheap, easy application, sun friendly, and smells AMAZING! lol appreciate you watching my friend! Take it easy!👍✊
Thank you!!! So I have already polished this vehicle once before. When it comes to clear coat.. and how thin they are coming from factory there was no need to try and cut any deeper and risk thinning out the clear to the point it's not going to protect against the UV rays from sun. So, the minimal difference it would have made wasn't worth sacrificing the clear
Wassup Smurf, that came out real nice, the turtle wax hybrid solutions detailer gives a nice shine, I haven’t used the ceramic spray yet but man that shine can’t wait to use it, By how you and the Fam holding up in these trying times? Thanks for sharing PS perhaps use small sponge with scour pad on one side to wrap the sandpaper, If you don’t have wet sand block yet
You will love the ceramic spray coating. Its awesome! Me and the fam are doing well bro. Appreciate that. Hoping your well on your side as well! You know, I was thinking of cutting up some old harbor freight pads I had to use that! Great minds think alike! Appreciate you watching man! 🤙✊
I have a 2013 Black Accord and I'm gonna get some 3D One and the Uro-Fiber pad to hopefully get majority of the scratches and swirls out to give the paint a nice gloss afterwards! It's gonna be my first time polishing with a DA so hopefully I don't burn the clear and it comes out good
Derek you will be just fine man! Just keep the polisher moving ans let the polisher an pad to the work! 🤙however my experience on black Honda paint make sure you follow it up with a polishing pad.. you can still use 3d one though! Just use a foam polish pad to finish out. The urofiber pad will definitely leave some haze👍👍 check out my Polishing 101 video man! Will help you gain confidence in putting a polisher on paint✊️✊️ if you need anything feel free to ask!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Can I get the uro-fiber polishing pad along with the 2 and 1 to finish or should I use a foam pad? Which do you recommend for the polish. I will definitely keep the pressure off and let the machine do the work. What do you mean the uro pad will leave a haze?
@@Newyen6MT The urofiber pad is great at cutting an finishing but depends on the clear your working on. Softer clear which Hondas generally have will typically leave a haze as in will look a little cloudy. I believe in this video you can see the haze before I finish it down with the white polishing pad. That haze needs to be polished or what we call " finished out ". That second step will remove any haze or marring caused by the urofiber pad as it cuts. You can get the urofiber pads in 2" an 1" yes.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Which polishing pad to do you recommend after cutting the the urofiber? Also, will 8oz of the 3D ONE be enough for the whole car to cut and polish or 16oz to be safe?
@@Newyen6MT So I'd recommend either the white or yellow Rupes pads. White is ultra fine and yellow is fine. I think either one would work. The yellow seems to be the most common and one of my favorites. Works great as a 1 step polish as well. 8oz would probably be enough yes, but I'd opt for the 16 just to be safe. Plus, once you realize how much fun and easy polishing is. Your gonna start doing more!😄
I watched a video and they were testing how many passes it took to burn through the clear with compound. It was like 70 passes. It was on Chicago Auto Pros.
Yeah it really does take some time to burn through clear. More than you'd think. But, everyone's ( mainly beginners ) fear is just that LOL. I know these new hondas are thin from the factory.. and I've done a 2 step on this this a year prior.. I was just being cautious. 👍👍
I reached out to maxshine support to ask them why the screws are so so soft that the just strip when you lightly and carefully remove them! I told them that I needed to change the grease and that it stalls like crazy and they are “taking care of it”. Hopefully they can do something abt it. My screws were definitely softer than the ones you had !! They literally melted away when you touch them 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hahaha they do strip VERY easy. Especially if the bit isn't a great fit. I had to lean my entire body weight on my drill to get them to come out! No bashing here for the price it's still a good machine! Take it easy bud!✊🤙
That urofiber seems so versatile. I've seen amazing results on short throw cheaper DA's Am i wrong? i don't mind having to finish with a jewlers pad for gloss. Thank you!
It's a very versatile pad for sure! Yeah it seems to work great on shorter throws as well as long throws. It works great on my G9! Very smooth! Thanks for watching!👍
This is the one I was looking for. My mothers car has a scuff on the rear fender kinda (east coast accent) like the one at the front of this Honda. Did you use the Uro fiber 50/50 pad on the G8 to work on that scuff? I figured I would use the G8 seeing as how I am only going to try to tackle the scuff mark for now. Figured I would use the Shiney's cutting polish followed by Zymol cleaner wax. The only other pad that I have for the G8 is a Lake Country polishing pad. I have some Griots polishing pads on the way to me that I should have in the next few days. When she sees the gloss that I get on that section, maybe she will want the entire car done in the future.
Glad you found it buddy! Yes, I used my 50/50 pad and 3d one on my G8 to remove that scuff👍🏻 could have probably used some FCC from Griots but this did a pretty good job.
Thanks Brandon! So for the wheels I used P&S Brake buster. I have a video on it if you'd like to check it out. About 22 bucks a gallon off of detailedimage.com. it's a great total wheel cleaner. You can dilute it and it's still efficient. Saves money. As far as the pump sprayer I can't think of the brand but I bought it at Home Depot for around 6 to 7 bucks! 🤙 thanks for watching man!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail i have not got the brake buster yet. I did get some eagle one black and plasti coat that people use for iron remover. I got my g9 and g8 in and so far love them. Ive also ordered bunch of towels from towelpros. Now im looking at extractors. For the price i may start with a bissell spot clean pro. I want a big boy but this stuff is not cheap lol.
Once again sorry about the late reply!! That's awesome you love you G8/9 combo!! Glad to hear that! Nice, microfiber are and important piece of great detailing! Lol trust me. Its expensive if you wanna get the best of the best, but you don't need it! Bissell spot clean professional is a fantastic unit!!! 👍👍
Hi PapaSmurf! Thank you so much for sharing all your videos! You've been super helpful. I just bought my first car and it happens to be a 2015 Black Honda Accord Sport similar to the one in your video. I've never detailed before and my car has so many swirls and scratch marks x.x I've learned so much from watching your videos and I want to get started! Rather than using someone else's random 10% off promo code that I found online, do you by any chance have a promo code that I can use for griots? I want to support your channel.
Thank you, Annie!! I appreciate that so much! I'm glad my videos are helpful!! Unfortunately I don't have a promo code for Griots😔 however I do have discount codes for Ethos car care and The Last Coat.. both are PAPASMURF 👍🏻 please feel free to ask me if you need anything else!!👍🏻 I'll be glad to help wherever I can! Take care!!
@billbuss7542 Ahhh OK! No worries. I have tried 3d one with a bunch of others though. And I do enjoy it! I'm loving the PhoesEOD papacut lately.. worked to help develop it with The owner. Absolutely phenomenal compound.. 👍👍
I use this one here... currently on my 3rd one. Love it!!! Just be sure to usenit on the glass before the paint to break it in👍 www.amazon.com/Nanoskin-AS-015-Autoscrub-Handy-Towel/dp/B00JM62JC0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=nanoskin+handy+towel&qid=1620258073&sprefix=nanoskin+ha&sr=8-1
Definitely man! Sorry about the late reply. Not getting ANY notifications on replies to my comments.. it's been an issuelately! ! Gotta stay up on the latest and greatest!!!
Kevin, awesome! Thank you for the sub! I used 2 urofiber 5", 2 urofiber 3", and I used 1 white Rupes 5" and one 3" white pad. What made this possible was my air compressor.. I blow out my pads after every pass I make. And once one starts getting matted or full I'll clean it, blow it out, and let it dry and grab my 2nd one👍. With the white rupes pads I didn't need to clean them as Iwasn't using much product and not much clear is coming off in that stage. Just continued to blow em out after every pass 🤙👍👍
If we’re using 3D one as a compound/polish so for a cutting pad do you wipe the residue off after each section or just leave it and switch to a polishing pad then wipe it after since we’re using the same product? do you get what I’m trying to say? Lol
I gotcha man, you definitely want to remove the residue from compound process as the abrasives are already diminished and the cycle time is done. Wipe it off, switch to polishing pad an apply a few drops to polishing pad and proceed to polish 👍
Thanks, Andrew! I'll use 2 pads of each.. always blow out each pass and after a few panels I'll clean the pad and set aside to dry.. grab a fresh pad to use. By the time I'm ready to clean the 1st is usually dry.. granted it's nice out. If it's cold may take a tad longer.. everyone has different methods though, however this is mine👍👍 Also, I'll use a urofiber pad or microfiber cutting pad for my cut stage.. then foam to finish.
Going to do my first paint correction to apply Ethos Graphene. I purchased 3D One but wasn't sure on the pads to go with. Have a G9 polisher. Would you recommend me to go with Uro 50/50 5" to cut and then Rupes white or yellow pad to finish? This is a white 2014 Accord Coupe with moderate swirls. Never been polished before. Also how many pads do you think I need for the entire car? Would 1 cutting pad and 1 finishing pad be fine? Great informational videos!
Hey Brindan! Sorry I was mid reply and got a phone call hahaha. So if the car has never been polished on I'd say the urofiber 50/50 would be a great choice however I'd still try a softer approach first just to see how the clear reacts... I've done a 2014 blue accord on my channel with a orange foam pad from griots and correcting cream and it worked great... so you never know, you could have some soft clear and no need to cut with urofiber if not needed👍 if you try a softer approach and your defect removal is not what you desire then bump up to the urofiber and test a section.. if that works stick to it✊ as far as following it up a white or yellow rupes pad would work just fine. Probably the yellow pad since I only used the white cause it was black paint.. black paint shows everything! Haha! It's all about trial at first to see what working for ya man! As far as pads, you will need at least 2.. I use 2 some use 5... but cleaning the pads after each pass is key , blow out with compressed air and it will keep the pad from clogging and performance will be more consistent.. especially with the urofiber pads. The matt down and get clogged very easy. After a a few panels I'll remove and clean a pad set to dry and grab a fresh one. But the time I'm ready to clean that pad the 1st will be dry... I do this and its works for me👌 let me know if you have any other questions! Moderate swirls you may find clean up with a yellow rupes pad and 3d one! 3d one has a long cycle time so work it through well, get that cycle time through and it will do great🤝
@@PapaSmurf918Detail No worries! Thank you for the vary detailed response. Sounds good! I think I will go ahead and try the orange pad to cut and the yellow rupes to finish. Since this is probably going to be my only paint correction, I don't really want to waste $$$ buying a bunch of pads that I likely won't use again for a while. Luckily on my white accord its tough to see swirls, I just want to get the paint nice as possible for the Ethos Graphene.
@@brindan1609 anytime man!!! Another tip is foam pads finish very well. You may find that you wont even need to finish out after... usually only need to finish after a hard cut or with a urofiber or microfiber pad👍👍 I love white for that same reason! Keep me posted man!
@@joncruz4837 well I'd for sure go with the G9 first.. you can get 90% of the cars with the bigger polisher.. now trying to do a full car with 3" pad is gonna take forever lol. Having both is pretty essential but if I had to choose 1 or the other.....G9 hands down. They sell em both in a package kit that's like under 300 bucks I think. It's a killer deal if you have the money
Kevin, if it's a 2 step correction. Griots garage Fast correcting cream teamed up with a Boss Microfiber cutting pad as step 1... step 2 Griots Boss Perfecting cream teamed up with there Boss perfecting cream pad👍👍 Also, 3D One with Urofiber 50/50 Pad followed up with a White Rupes Pad just like on this Honda. Not all combinations will yield the same results as cars vary.. softer clear vs hard clear.. plays a huge roll in what pad/compound/polish to use👍👍
PapaSmurf918 thanks . i just order griots garage g9, 3D one, and lake country flat orange, white, blue, black pads hoping to do my first paint correction/ceramic coat soon.
Beau, I didn't have much luck at all with durability in my conditions. Idk if it was something I did or not. Not bashing, but I'd opt for something else to try unless you wanna give it a shot!
PapaSmurf918, thanks for the reply! And I already have the hybrid solutions line, it works well, I just wanted to try something different on my show truck. Thinking maybe Fusso and King of gloss, or Jescar and Collinite.
No problem. I hear ya! That's a tuff choice! All great from what hear. I'd go fusso coat! And look into Wowo's detail. They have a product called " show stopper " pure gloss in a bottle. Doesn't last long but perfect for a day at a show!
Dear Sir, Have you thought about CONDENSING your content, to 10 minutes? 30 minutes is overkill. Seriously. I would subscribe & recommend, but so many of us, don't have 30 minute luxuries, especially for UA-cam. It's called PRIORITIES. Best wishes.
Well, yes... of course I have. But there just isn't any way possible I can share my experience in a 10min video. I understand not many people have time to spare and that's fine. Some videos, may be able too... updates and what not. But when doing a full detail.. polishing...coating. there is tons of information that I like to get out for those wanting to learn... not just to kill time watching a video. All in all... those who watch. Will watch.. Best wishes to you as well. Thanks for watching!
3d one can be used as a cutting compound and then a finish polish.. for technically a 2 step but using 1 liquid. If you wanna cut throw a microfiber pad on. You wanna do a polish that finishes well slap on a polish or finish pad. Also, on black paint using a uro pad or a MF pad you will get haze.. to remove that haze left by the cutting stage you would then grab your finish polish ( in this case you don't need to grab one cause 3d one IS your finisher ) and finish out to remove the haze and the micro marring that may have occurred. Also, it's very noticeable on black paint so a finisher is needed. 👍🏻
Beto, this job... for me. If I were to charge. I'd say no less than 600. If I did the interior as well which would make it the " works " lol I'd say 800ish. Price really depends what area you are and the clientele you have too. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and commenting! 🤙
@@ptown19929734 no problem man. It's a great polisher combination at a great price. They have a kit that comes with both and some other products to get you started for I wanna say 300 bucks. Check out there website! That's a great price in my opinion 🤙
Haha I see. Well I'm not a professional detailer and this is not my job. I just do it for fun and to learn.. so I take my time abs work at my own pace👍🏻
3rd car in it cut out on me!!! Swapped power cables and worked just fine. I had been using my older cord from my original G9 replacement.. the new G8 comes with the updated one. They look different compared to one another. So there issue was the cables! I'm pretty sure they have an updated cable now. 👍👍
Really?? That's unfortunate man! Im going on 2 years with my original purchased Portland from Harbor freight. Use it all the time. Make sure you purge all the air before you turn it on. I hold the trigger down for 1-2 minutes before turning it on. If there are air pockets even just little ones can burn up the motor.
PapaSmurf918 thanks on the quick reply also great vid. Ordering polishing pads and a DA buffer and 3D one as my learning compound/polish, would you recommend? Also a ceramic coat lite after.
No problem! If you are just starting id stick to foam pads until you get a feel for it. 3d One is a good starting product. Maybe a medium cut foam pad and a finishing foam pad. 3d one is pad dependent aswell. Keep that in mind👍 with a medium cut pad will yield great Results. Also, the BOSS creams are VERY good for a beginner as well.
PapaSmurf918 thanks for the info. Really 🤝💯 I Ordered a lake country 5.5 pad set ,cutting,light cutting,polishing, and finishing pads. For two step would you say light cut pad and polish pad should be good? That’s the last thing lol I just have questions but never have people who answer. Thanks in advance
@@JoelNeezy Don't apologize my friend! I once had questions and had nobody to answer. I started my channel to help encourage those who want to start 👍 For a 2 step yes, if you have a pad set. There should be a medium cut pad. So in the middle as far as aggression. However depending on how bad the paint is you always want to start the least aggressive method first. This will help preserve the clear coat. As in you don't wanna cut deep right off bat if you don't need too. 👍 clear is Very very thin and taking the least off you can while achieving good results is whT your after. Start with a light polish pad and a polish do a few passes and check your work. If you are happy with the amount of defect removal then stick to that pad and polish. If not then step up to a little more aggressive pad and compound.. 👍 Also, be sure to join my Livestreams on Sundays man. It's a great opportunity to pick my brain and ask all the questions you need. Plus, plenty of knowledge in the chats as well! If I can't answer someone in there should be able too✊✊
Deng Joe... you mad??? First of all, was still new to editing so the background music was a learning curve as to where I can lower it to not be over barring... however, I can hear what I'm saying loud and clear. Maybe you should get them ears checked! Thanks for watching!!!!
Great job and video, as a professional detailer of 17 years , I own a mobile detail business in Las Vegas. I'm really enjoy watching your channel and I also use the 3D One and Griots Fast correction cream. both great products. Keep up the great work
Thank you, Keith!! Appreciate that a lot!! How's the detailing down in Vegas?? Hope everything is good my friend. 🤙 3f One and FCC are definitely great products. Look forward to expand out and try more as I go along. Thank you for watching and take it easy man!👍✊
@@PapaSmurf918Detail The Detailing business is good here in Vegas :) Thank you, I'm looking forward to your next video. take care
@@keithcurley6760 good to hear. You as well my friend.
Have you ever used Jescar? Which Jescar would be in direct competition to 3D One?
@davidsteckley8846 I have yet to use any Jescar products yet. So that one I'm nit 100% sure!
Nice Job!!! There's nothing more satisfying than to do a car, get a great result and wow yourself and your customer when you look at it completed.
Definitely the beat part of any detail is the finished results! Makes all that hard work worth it! 🤙
The Intro caught me off guard. I like it. Nice work on the Accord also. Turned out great considering the previous condition of the paint. I’m always amazed at all the Honda’s I see on the road with missing clear coat. Honda must apply the thinnest clear coat in the industry.
Thanks Andy! Haha yeah, same here. I see just as many with clear burned through than not!😄 precisely why I was treading lightly. Appreciate you watching man!✊✊
You have your channel in the people & blogs setting with UA-cam although most of your content is about auto detailing.
You may want to change that so UA-cam knows how to recommend your content and who to target for your audience

Its probably the best category for your channel
@@PapaSmurf918Detail great channel by the way
Ok cool. I never really new you could categorize style of channels.
Thank you! Appreciate that!🤙
I enjoyed this video because you seem more relatable than many of the other "big" channels. At 20:56 you said "is it perfect? no way!" - I dig that. Pan made a video a few months ago & he suggested we should stop chasing "perfect". Many of these videos have us brainwashed to think our paint should looks flawless all the time and that simply isn't reasonable for a daily driven ride. The results we get may not look perfect up close & under a light but from a few feet away it can look stunning! And thats really all that matters. cheers
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. I really appreciate that! I 100% agree that these people have everyone brain washed that perfection when it doesn't exist! That you've " failed " if every little tiny scratch isn't removed hahaha, yeah, right! Lol some great results without compromising clear is what your after. Pan is absolutely right and I consider him a friend! Once again thanks for taking the time to tune in. !!! ✊️✊️✊️✊️

Great job man , and just from my couple experiments I’ll tell turtle wax give hard times to wipe it off so you spray some water and wipe off that’s what I saw apex do , but the 3D one I think you should work it more than couple passes and it we’ll wipe off faster and easier just tell what happened to me but overall great man you turned that car to shine like diamond.
Thanks man! Appreciate that! Yeah, I've encountered that issue a while back with high spots after applying a little tooo much product lol. Damp microfiber to clear it up 👍 thank you. I was wondering why it was sort of a pain to wipe off. I'm pretty sure that in combination of way to much product was my issue. As I worked around the car I definitely was realizing how much cycle time 3d One has.It's awesome. . So I worked it much longer as time went on. Was my first actual full job with 3d One. I look forward to playing around with it more🤙 appreciate you watching!!✊✊

Thanks, Barnes! Appreciate that! Yup, just a weekend warrior/enthusiast here 🤙🤙 who loves to detail and try new products! Figured why not share my fun and passion with others. Thanks for watching👍
Coffee time..I I'm the same always use to much product in the beginning.
Morning bro☕☕☕☕
3D One is my go to at work, and in my own business.
I use the Uro-Fiber or Uro-Tech Coarse Blue foam for cutting, and the Yellow to finish polish with. Nine out of ten times it works perfectly.
At work I'll use AAT501 when the paint is harder, and AAT502 when ONE isn't finishing down like I want, which has so far only been one car out of dozens.
The home based biz I use the ACA line to compliment 3D ONE.
Overall I've been very, VERY impressed with 3D's abrasive offerings. They were what I always wanted in a polish and compound. They work like polishes, and don't like to dust. Extreme cut availability, and show car gloss polishing...
That is great information and I appreciate you sharing that! I need to get into more of the 3d abrasive lineup for SURE! 3d one is so versatile I have been loving it man! I'll have to look into those uro tech pads too.. thank you once again and I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video ✊✊
@@PapaSmurf918Detail - No problem!
The Uro-Tech are very similar to the Rupes Foam formulas. The yellow feels a tad more "spongy", but the white feels finer and softer. The maroon is similar to green, but doesn't deteriorate like the green. Blue coarse is almost identical, and their new dark blue (sits between the yelllo and maroon) is nothing like any of the Rupes pads.
What's nice about 3D is that you can go to Autoality and find their products in the 8oz trial size. I bought all of them because I carry the bottle around the vehicle with me as I work. I just pour product out of the 32oz into those bottles as needed.
Great channel for sure! You, like Jon (Forensic), Brian (Apex), and Hawk Pro have great attitudes and personalities.
It amazes me how unpleasant crybabies get such huge folllwings...
That's a great idea in the little tiny bottles.. makes it easier to carry 👍👍 I'll have to pick up the smaller bottles and get to trying!! And thanks man! I to watch those channels👍 awesome stuff they have! Very down to earth.. I feel some people just let it go to there head🤣 I just love helping and sharing my learning experience with those who want to watch!😁 take care my friend!!

Papa
love your work and so much info its almost hard to keep up with but for us beginners. One thing that would be awesome is if you added a list of products you use, I know you say the names but its hard to keep track of all of them and watch, and I also missed the name of the break/wheel cleaner you where using. I for sure need that before I ceramic coat my rims.
thanks again from all of us fans!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!!! Your right I'm so terrible at putting links/lists of products I used.

There's nothing like Your own reaction when a black vehicle is improved! If it isn't Your own, the owners reaction is so awesome! Like it was painted. This is 100% The Golden Era of detailing. Sadly, we have to watch what we do as clear coat is at an all time low(Per Brian/Apex Detail). It doesn't look like that'll change... perhaps it'll worsen! It is how it is. Thank You for this reply!
@@J1Z06 man I really appreciate that, Jay!!! 🤝 it's comments from people like you that drive me to make more content!🤙 sadly it sucks how thin clear is these days... with the price of these vehicles these days they could at LEAST put a good amount of clear!🤣
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Not every channel is enjoyable! This You know! 😂 Yeah, for $30k, the freaking vehicle should have a decent finish! I've buffed My '04 Z06 three times since 8.24.05 and "just" hit the primer at the top of the mirrors(there's a line/edge) it's liked Total Swirl Remover+Finishing glaze(Wolfgang twins) Menzerna nano, and a few others. I'm careful more now than ever. I just got in to foam cannons etc, two bucket washes recently... I wish I'd known sooner, lol, probably could have saved some clear! Oh well, still looks good for a 5th Gen Z06. By all means, keep making vids! Your channel will grow as it's terrific! Thank You again!
@@J1Z06 man what a beautiful car that Z06 is!!! Shoot can't complain for 16+ years! They just don't make em like they used too!! Bet it still looks gorgeous man 👍👍 I'll keep on keeping on brother thank you. Foam cannons have there purpose as do 2 bucket methods. Coulda shoulda woulda brotha all we can do is what we can! Take it easy man! ✊✊✊
I use General Purpose Thinners to get Paint Transferr off before compounding, works a charm, yes it drys out the paint a touch but its the fastest way and gets 100% of the transfer off with no effort. On single stage paint just be light on it and it'll be fine, clear coats you dont need to be so careful.
Great idea man, I mean transfer is still a lil damage under so I think it will not be noticeable.. appreciate that idea man!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail yes, the underlying damage will never be corrected unless it was a very light touch and not gouging against a rough surface but the paint transfer itself will come off with little effort. Just make sure it's not Paint Thinners. I've seen people use it and with bad results for obvious reasons 😅

@@PapaSmurf918Detail most DEF. I like these things I am an enthusiast... amd I can bet it it was difficult. Especially the contours on the hood, door, side body. My 15 isnt as curved as the 16 but still it sucks.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I am about to correct my DENALI in a few weeks and am not looking forward to it. It is black as well.
I have my first customer job coming up next week. It's a black Dodge Caliber. It is scratched and swirled as bad as the car in your video. I think I'm going to use Shiney's Cutting Polish on it, then either Ethos CWP or The Last Coat. Iron removal and clay also. This vehicle is probably the biggest challenge I've had so far. I have an Aprilia cycle coming up to. Either this Saturday or next week. That will be fun. Then the new jobs will pour in like they always do. I look forward to it.
That's awesome you've got your first customer!!! Please make sure to keep me posted! I say Cutting polish from shineys and then TLC!!! that's what I would do. But it's up to you my friend! Maybe use CWP on the Aprillia🤙
That's the first customer this year. Everyone has been holding off due to the virus. I wasn't into doing them either. I'm still not going to do interiors yet. With your input I will go with the TLC. Will be the first time. Thanks for the help.

Magi eraser works pretty good for a makeshift block.
Steve, hey thanks for that tip! I was gonna cut up an old Harbor freight polishing pad haha!
Keep it up!!
Trying to my friend! Thanks for watching! ✊👍
Good humble video. Thanks.
Can I ask why you didn’t try the urofibre 50/50 with the Griots correcting cream?
Thank you!!! So I have already polished this vehicle once before. When it comes to clear coat.. and how thin they are coming from factory there was no need to try and cut any deeper and risk thinning out the clear to the point it's not going to protect against the UV rays from sun. So, the minimal difference it would have made wasn't worth sacrificing the clear
Wassup Smurf, that came out real nice, the turtle wax hybrid solutions detailer gives a nice shine, I haven’t used the ceramic spray yet but man that shine can’t wait to use it, By how you and the Fam holding up in these trying times?
Thanks for sharing
PS perhaps use small sponge with scour pad on one side to wrap the sandpaper, If you don’t have wet sand block yet
You will love the ceramic spray coating. Its awesome! Me and the fam are doing well bro. Appreciate that. Hoping your well on your side as well! You know, I was thinking of cutting up some old harbor freight pads I had to use that! Great minds think alike! Appreciate you watching man! 🤙✊
I have a 2013 Black Accord and I'm gonna get some 3D One and the Uro-Fiber pad to hopefully get majority of the scratches and swirls out to give the paint a nice gloss afterwards! It's gonna be my first time polishing with a DA so hopefully I don't burn the clear and it comes out good
Derek you will be just fine man! Just keep the polisher moving ans let the polisher an pad to the work! 🤙however my experience on black Honda paint make sure you follow it up with a polishing pad.. you can still use 3d one though! Just use a foam polish pad to finish out. The urofiber pad will definitely leave some haze👍👍 check out my Polishing 101 video man! Will help you gain confidence in putting a polisher on paint✊️✊️ if you need anything feel free to ask!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Can I get the uro-fiber polishing pad along with the 2 and 1 to finish or should I use a foam pad? Which do you recommend for the polish. I will definitely keep the pressure off and let the machine do the work. What do you mean the uro pad will leave a haze?
@@Newyen6MT The urofiber pad is great at cutting an finishing but depends on the clear your working on. Softer clear which Hondas generally have will typically leave a haze as in will look a little cloudy. I believe in this video you can see the haze before I finish it down with the white polishing pad. That haze needs to be polished or what we call " finished out ". That second step will remove any haze or marring caused by the urofiber pad as it cuts. You can get the urofiber pads in 2" an 1" yes.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Which polishing pad to do you recommend after cutting the the urofiber? Also, will 8oz of the 3D ONE be enough for the whole car to cut and polish or 16oz to be safe?
@@Newyen6MT So I'd recommend either the white or yellow Rupes pads. White is ultra fine and yellow is fine. I think either one would work. The yellow seems to be the most common and one of my favorites. Works great as a 1 step polish as well. 8oz would probably be enough yes, but I'd opt for the 16 just to be safe. Plus, once you realize how much fun and easy polishing is. Your gonna start doing more!😄
Good job 👍 Stickers 😎
Thanks Keith! Haha are you even a detailer if you don't have stickers?🤔🤣 asking for a friend LOL take it easy bud. Thanks for watching 👍
You're welcome
I watched a video and they were testing how many passes it took to burn through the clear with compound. It was like 70 passes. It was on Chicago Auto Pros.
Yeah it really does take some time to burn through clear. More than you'd think. But, everyone's ( mainly beginners ) fear is just that LOL. I know these new hondas are thin from the factory.. and I've done a 2 step on this this a year prior.. I was just being cautious. 👍👍
I reached out to maxshine support to ask them why the screws are so so soft that the just strip when you lightly and carefully remove them! I told them that I needed to change the grease and that it stalls like crazy and they are “taking care of it”. Hopefully they can do something abt it. My screws were definitely softer than the ones you had !! They literally melted away when you touch them 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hahaha they do strip VERY easy. Especially if the bit isn't a great fit. I had to lean my entire body weight on my drill to get them to come out! No bashing here for the price it's still a good machine! Take it easy bud!✊🤙
PapaSmurf918 I agree!! Great price!!
That urofiber seems so versatile. I've seen amazing results on short throw cheaper DA's Am i wrong? i don't mind having to finish with a jewlers pad for gloss. Thank you!
It's a very versatile pad for sure! Yeah it seems to work great on shorter throws as well as long throws. It works great on my G9! Very smooth! Thanks for watching!👍
This is the one I was looking for. My mothers car has a scuff on the rear fender kinda (east coast accent) like the one at the front of this Honda. Did you use the Uro fiber 50/50 pad on the G8 to work on that scuff? I figured I would use the G8 seeing as how I am only going to try to tackle the scuff mark for now. Figured I would use the Shiney's cutting polish followed by Zymol cleaner wax. The only other pad that I have for the G8 is a Lake Country polishing pad. I have some Griots polishing pads on the way to me that I should have in the next few days. When she sees the gloss that I get on that section, maybe she will want the entire car done in the future.
Glad you found it buddy! Yes, I used my 50/50 pad and 3d one on my G8 to remove that scuff👍🏻 could have probably used some FCC from Griots but this did a pretty good job.
Man you transformed that car. Can you give me the info on the stuff you used for the wheels and the little canister you used to apply it
Thanks Brandon! So for the wheels I used P&S Brake buster. I have a video on it if you'd like to check it out. About 22 bucks a gallon off of detailedimage.com. it's a great total wheel cleaner. You can dilute it and it's still efficient. Saves money. As far as the pump sprayer I can't think of the brand but I bought it at Home Depot for around 6 to 7 bucks! 🤙 thanks for watching man!

subscribed! how many uro fiber and white rupes pads you need each to finish a whole car?
Kevin, awesome! Thank you for the sub! I used 2 urofiber 5", 2 urofiber 3", and I used 1 white Rupes 5" and one 3" white pad. What made this possible was my air compressor.. I blow out my pads after every pass I make. And once one starts getting matted or full I'll clean it, blow it out, and let it dry and grab my 2nd one👍. With the white rupes pads I didn't need to clean them as Iwasn't using much product and not much clear is coming off in that stage. Just continued to blow em out after every pass 🤙👍👍
If we’re using 3D one as a compound/polish so for a cutting pad do you wipe the residue off after each section or just leave it and switch to a polishing pad then wipe it after since we’re using the same product? do you get what I’m trying to say? Lol
I gotcha man, you definitely want to remove the residue from compound process as the abrasives are already diminished and the cycle time is done. Wipe it off, switch to polishing pad an apply a few drops to polishing pad and proceed to polish 👍
What are the recommended RPMs while compounding( step 1 ) and while polishing ( step 2 ) ?
Ehhh.. I usually stick to speed 5 o my G9.. polisher and clear all depends and also play a part
@@PapaSmurf918Detail what's speed 5 in RPMs . I use DeWalt rotary
@@Jan-zm2yv Honestly... I have no idea. Id have to check... 😄😄
@@PapaSmurf918Detail 🤠
Hey great video! How many foam pads do you use when you compound and when you polish?
Thanks, Andrew! I'll use 2 pads of each.. always blow out each pass and after a few panels I'll clean the pad and set aside to dry.. grab a fresh pad to use. By the time I'm ready to clean the 1st is usually dry.. granted it's nice out. If it's cold may take a tad longer.. everyone has different methods though, however this is mine👍👍
Also, I'll use a urofiber pad or microfiber cutting pad for my cut stage.. then foam to finish.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail thank you for the quick response! Very helpful info
@@andrewr3403 Not a problem my friend!✊
Going to do my first paint correction to apply Ethos Graphene. I purchased 3D One but wasn't sure on the pads to go with. Have a G9 polisher. Would you recommend me to go with Uro 50/50 5" to cut and then Rupes white or yellow pad to finish? This is a white 2014 Accord Coupe with moderate swirls. Never been polished before. Also how many pads do you think I need for the entire car? Would 1 cutting pad and 1 finishing pad be fine?
Great informational videos!
Hey Brindan! Sorry I was mid reply and got a phone call hahaha. So if the car has never been polished on I'd say the urofiber 50/50 would be a great choice however I'd still try a softer approach first just to see how the clear reacts... I've done a 2014 blue accord on my channel with a orange foam pad from griots and correcting cream and it worked great... so you never know, you could have some soft clear and no need to cut with urofiber if not needed👍 if you try a softer approach and your defect removal is not what you desire then bump up to the urofiber and test a section.. if that works stick to it✊ as far as following it up a white or yellow rupes pad would work just fine. Probably the yellow pad since I only used the white cause it was black paint.. black paint shows everything! Haha! It's all about trial at first to see what working for ya man! As far as pads, you will need at least 2.. I use 2 some use 5... but cleaning the pads after each pass is key , blow out with compressed air and it will keep the pad from clogging and performance will be more consistent.. especially with the urofiber pads. The matt down and get clogged very easy. After a a few panels I'll remove and clean a pad set to dry and grab a fresh one. But the time I'm ready to clean that pad the 1st will be dry... I do this and its works for me👌 let me know if you have any other questions! Moderate swirls you may find clean up with a yellow rupes pad and 3d one! 3d one has a long cycle time so work it through well, get that cycle time through and it will do great🤝
@@PapaSmurf918Detail No worries! Thank you for the vary detailed response. Sounds good! I think I will go ahead and try the orange pad to cut and the yellow rupes to finish. Since this is probably going to be my only paint correction, I don't really want to waste $$$ buying a bunch of pads that I likely won't use again for a while. Luckily on my white accord its tough to see swirls, I just want to get the paint nice as possible for the Ethos Graphene.
@@brindan1609 anytime man!!! Another tip is foam pads finish very well. You may find that you wont even need to finish out after... usually only need to finish after a hard cut or with a urofiber or microfiber pad👍👍 I love white for that same reason! Keep me posted man!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Definitely. Appreciate all your tips. Hopefully the end result is good with the correction and graphene.
I have no doubts my friend!!!
Did u do the wheels with turtle wax
I used McKee's hydro blue on the wheels👍👍
Thank you again for sharing ;-)
No problem Luis! Thanks for watching!! 👍🏻
If you were on a budget, and also a beginner at this, which would you recommend to buy first, the g9 or g9 ?
Haha I'm guessing you didn't mean G9 or G9?
Haha yes my bad. I meant the g9 or the g8
@@joncruz4837 well I'd for sure go with the G9 first.. you can get 90% of the cars with the bigger polisher.. now trying to do a full car with 3" pad is gonna take forever lol. Having both is pretty essential but if I had to choose 1 or the other.....G9 hands down. They sell em both in a package kit that's like under 300 bucks I think. It's a killer deal if you have the money
@@PapaSmurf918Detail thank you so much for the insight! I appreciate it. Great videos man!
Anytime man!!! Appreciate that too! If you have any other questions feel free to ask! Take care!✊
Can you put product links in the description? broski 😎
I'm trying to start doing that man I apologize.. I do everything from my phone so I'm still learning that portion. I will work on it asap bro. Sorry.
PapaSmurf918 it’s all good , hey I do the same thing all from my iPhone
What are your go to compound/pads for a 2 step correction?
Kevin, if it's a 2 step correction. Griots garage Fast correcting cream teamed up with a Boss Microfiber cutting pad as step 1... step 2 Griots Boss Perfecting cream teamed up with there Boss perfecting cream pad👍👍
Also, 3D One with Urofiber 50/50 Pad followed up with a White Rupes Pad just like on this Honda. Not all combinations will yield the same results as cars vary.. softer clear vs hard clear.. plays a huge roll in what pad/compound/polish to use👍👍
PapaSmurf918 thanks . i just order griots garage g9, 3D one, and lake country flat orange, white, blue, black pads hoping to do my first paint correction/ceramic coat soon.
Did I miss you claying the vehicle?
Must have! I used my Nanoskin Clay towel to clay the car!
Curious how the good bottle of Ethos Ceramic Wax held up? Looking in to getting a bottle.
Beau, I didn't have much luck at all with durability in my conditions. Idk if it was something I did or not. Not bashing, but I'd opt for something else to try unless you wanna give it a shot!
PapaSmurf918, thanks for the reply! And I already have the hybrid solutions line, it works well, I just wanted to try something different on my show truck. Thinking maybe Fusso and King of gloss, or Jescar and Collinite.
No problem. I hear ya! That's a tuff choice! All great from what hear. I'd go fusso coat! And look into Wowo's detail. They have a product called " show stopper " pure gloss in a bottle. Doesn't last long but perfect for a day at a show!
PapaSmurf918 Thankyou, I’ll look into it!
Dear Sir,
Have you thought about CONDENSING your content, to 10 minutes?
30 minutes is overkill. Seriously.
I would subscribe & recommend, but so many of us, don't have 30 minute luxuries, especially for UA-cam. It's called PRIORITIES.
Best wishes.
Well, yes... of course I have. But there just isn't any way possible I can share my experience in a 10min video. I understand not many people have time to spare and that's fine. Some videos, may be able too... updates and what not. But when doing a full detail.. polishing...coating. there is tons of information that I like to get out for those wanting to learn... not just to kill time watching a video. All in all... those who watch. Will watch.. Best wishes to you as well. Thanks for watching!
what's the point of using 3d one if I have to follow it up with a polishing pad? was about to try a bottle too
3d one can be used as a cutting compound and then a finish polish.. for technically a 2 step but using 1 liquid. If you wanna cut throw a microfiber pad on. You wanna do a polish that finishes well slap on a polish or finish pad. Also, on black paint using a uro pad or a MF pad you will get haze.. to remove that haze left by the cutting stage you would then grab your finish polish ( in this case you don't need to grab one cause 3d one IS your finisher ) and finish out to remove the haze and the micro marring that may have occurred. Also, it's very noticeable on black paint so a finisher is needed. 👍🏻
@@PapaSmurf918Detail that's a good point. Plus no dusting so I'm sold.
It's been my go too for the past few jobs I've done. I been loving it! 👍🏻✊🏼
How much in labor , does a paint correcting like that cost ?
Beto, this job... for me. If I were to charge. I'd say no less than 600. If I did the interior as well which would make it the " works " lol I'd say 800ish. Price really depends what area you are and the clientele you have too. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and commenting! 🤙
PapaSmurf918 thanks a lot for the reply , I think I will invest in the g8 and g9 and try to give a shot myself. I been following your technique lol
@@ptown19929734 no problem man. It's a great polisher combination at a great price. They have a kit that comes with both and some other products to get you started for I wanna say 300 bucks. Check out there website! That's a great price in my opinion 🤙
Hi bro! I want to know and if want to tell for sure, How long did it take you in this detail?
Carlos, from start to finish about a 8-9 hours
PapaSmurf918 so, I’m taking the same. Thanks! My question is because many customers ask me all the time about my working time🤷🏻♂️
Haha I see. Well I'm not a professional detailer and this is not my job. I just do it for fun and to learn.. so I take my time abs work at my own pace👍🏻
PapaSmurf918 I’m like you! I do it for hobby and additional income money👍🏻
That's great to hear! Its therapeutic for me man! I love it! The moment I feel I have a deadline or feel rushed I instantly loose my enjoyment.
How is the Griots G9 version 2.0 holding up?
Jason, holding up great!! Got a few cars under the belt with it👌 not an issue
Thats good to hear!
3rd car in it cut out on me!!! Swapped power cables and worked just fine. I had been using my older cord from my original G9 replacement.. the new G8 comes with the updated one. They look different compared to one another. So there issue was the cables! I'm pretty sure they have an updated cable now. 👍👍
The harbor freight washer is junk, I originally purchased the 2 year warranty and I have already swapped it three times with new ones
Really?? That's unfortunate man! Im going on 2 years with my original purchased Portland from Harbor freight. Use it all the time. Make sure you purge all the air before you turn it on. I hold the trigger down for 1-2 minutes before turning it on. If there are air pockets even just little ones can burn up the motor.
PapaSmurf918 yes I have been doing this good tip
What polishers are those ?
These are the Griots Garage G9 and G8 polishers 👍
How long did you finish?
How long did it take me to finish the car?? If that's what your asking it was a solid 5-6 hours on the paint.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I thought so. Gonna do it myself. Thank you
@@PapaSmurf918Detail have you tried ceramic black acrylic?
You are welcome!👍🏻
Yes, just the Acrylic black polish I have not had a chance to use the spray wax yet👍🏻 loved the polish for sure!!!
What power washer is that?
It's the Portland from Harbor freight 👍
PapaSmurf918 thanks on the quick reply also great vid. Ordering polishing pads and a DA buffer and 3D one as my learning compound/polish, would you recommend? Also a ceramic coat lite after.
No problem! If you are just starting id stick to foam pads until you get a feel for it. 3d One is a good starting product. Maybe a medium cut foam pad and a finishing foam pad. 3d one is pad dependent aswell. Keep that in mind👍 with a medium cut pad will yield great Results. Also, the BOSS creams are VERY good for a beginner as well.
PapaSmurf918 thanks for the info. Really 🤝💯 I Ordered a lake country 5.5 pad set ,cutting,light cutting,polishing, and finishing pads. For two step would you say light cut pad and polish pad should be good? That’s the last thing lol I just have questions but never have people who answer. Thanks in advance
@@JoelNeezy Don't apologize my friend! I once had questions and had nobody to answer. I started my channel to help encourage those who want to start 👍
For a 2 step yes, if you have a pad set. There should be a medium cut pad. So in the middle as far as aggression. However depending on how bad the paint is you always want to start the least aggressive method first. This will help preserve the clear coat. As in you don't wanna cut deep right off bat if you don't need too. 👍 clear is Very very thin and taking the least off you can while achieving good results is whT your after. Start with a light polish pad and a polish do a few passes and check your work. If you are happy with the amount of defect removal then stick to that pad and polish. If not then step up to a little more aggressive pad and compound.. 👍
