Was not expecting to be in the sun for 6+ hours 😅. What are your tips to polishing paint in the sun?
Buy yourself a canopy
Oscar, how much pressure were you applying?
How much you charge to polish the small size car?
Long sleeves, cover your neck face and eyes with at least 50fps clothes. Works for me everytime I work in direct sunlight. Try to use polarized sunglasses too.
If you start with a polish, and then have to use a compound to remove harder scratches, do you go back and finish again with another polish?
Oscar; it's funny you did this on a subject that another detailer (who shall remain anonymous), had recapped two days ago. The only difference, and I pointed it out to him, was that he did his video under a shade tree. You took the subject 300% to actually have a vehicle under direct sunlight (verified with a temperature gauge); and polished on video the whole front end. The video concluded with actual car being entirely polished. Probably didn't need to take it that far; however, you showed not only was it possible to polish portions of a car in the heat, you can polish the whole car. Excellent video Oscar; my hat is off to you!!!
Interesting point. However Phil and his wife were not really showing HOW some products react in the sun, how long they can be left on the paint, etc. They were simply showing you their favorite products to use outside. Maybe the panel's weren't 180 degrees, however each of those products used in their video CAN be used in direct sunlight. I assure you.
Usually try to have some kind of protection from the sun.
Fishing hats come in a variety of sizes and are handy when battling the Texas summers and Chevy Suburbans!
Oscar you’re my favorite UA-cam detailer. I feel like a lot of the other detailers on UA-cam are pre madona detailers.
I agree most clients will only want to spend for a 1 step . Most clients who want a 2 step would be people with high end cars and even tho a lot of my clients have Porsche/Audi’s/Range Rover and they won’t even spend for a 2 ste ceramic coating.
Still watching your vids O. Appreciate the realness of your videos and the practicality. Not every customer has a garage or a giant tree in their yard for shade.
It’s getting that hott here in Florida. Love your videos homie . I don’t look at you as a detail you tuber. You’re actually out in the field like me , 7 days a week I’m out Mobile detailing plus running the whole Porsche detail shop here in Florida “ (I’m the only Detailer at Porsche) I do 30-40 cars a month at Porsche plus my Mobile detailing business , 3-4 on each weekend
Been doing mobile detailing /outside only for a year now.
Waxing , polishing headlights , interior full deep cleaning and now have done 2 cars with one step Scholl s20 and navy spider pads. Not yet hot where I am so it was safe, but it will be hot Jun -August
Planning to one step with Scholl s20 in full sun In June when it will be hot.
Will compound not turn rock hard in few seconds in full sun ?
Any advice please ?
P.S. can't afford to ruin any cars cause of too much sun
@@maximolotov get a canopy
I find here where i live in Australia that polishing in direct sunlight is hard on the foam pad since the machine generates heat and the foam pad through the polishing process generates heat not to mention that the panel being polished is hot so being aware of pad condition as you are going is important. Have several identical pads on hand and switch to the next pad when you find the one you are using is getting too hot because heat is the enemy of polishing pads. It literally destroys them.
Thanks for another great vid, one step is the way to go. Most customers won’t maintain their vehicle properly to warrant the time & expense of a full two step correction
Deadlift is KING!
Aye been checking out your videos for a whole I've been doing auto detailing and cosmetic work socially for about a year now and I learned alot from your videos much love
Very helpful since I’m out here in AZ heat 🔥
Arizona is hell
I had a mobile detailer detail my car which was not well taken care of. He brought a car tent and my car looked a mirror when he left. No holograms or swirls at all.
Should it really take 6 hrs to 1 step? Or is it because you did a recording while working?
Yeah that's fine because its in direct sun..you can't work larger areas and it could be a pain to remove the residue more so in the sun so its a little more tedious and time consuming
If you don’t mind me asking. How much did you charge for this? Or ballpark? I appreciate you so much!
“All you gotta do is pick up the bar” Yeah
no problem
Do you think its easier to get customers as a mobile detailer or is it easier as a detailer that requires a drop off at their location??
Its all about what you rather do..there's successful mobile detailers and successful in shop detailers.so that tells you tge clientele is there for both..its just matter of what you would rather do.most of the time people start off mobile detailing so they can hustle up some more money by doing quick washes etc and people like that convenience.so starting off mobile is smart and then when you get the trust and respect and word of mouth spreads you can open up a shop or detail out of your garage
Ya i saw some holograms on the hood when you showed the top view with the Sun. Would you leave those there?
Da does not leave holograms :))))
Only rotary does
@@maximolotov DA is perfect and leaves no marring. Use a heavy cut course wool pad and heavy cut compound on DA and the finish will be perfect... nope
@@DeavenLaxton did he use wool pads and heavy cutting compound with them ?
Nope
I bet it is just some compound left to wipe off
Scholl 20 black is good too
Love the work you bro 👌
When mobile detailing is it like “unprofessional” and rude to ask the customer for them or if you can move the car in the garage to correct paint?
I think it's fine if you mention it beforehand, when they purchase your service.
How many hours did it take you again? Thanks men. Awesome video.
I'm struggling with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound (by hand). Car is parked in the sun, but I move it to a shaded area just prior to applicating. It gets hard really fast and difficult to wipe off. I've given up for now.
What system do you use to collect credit card payment from customers?
Square app
You do all the work in direct sunlight or you have a tent for shade?
Thanks for the insight bro! 💪🏽
What do you find is the best pad and polish combo for tough audi paint that's FULL of swirls? 👍
Where u got the temp gun from
Oh hell naaa,
I can’t bench, maybe I can do marshmallows like spongebob lol
What does it mean when there is dusting?
Compound/polish dust from the pads
Yes but does that mean that the compound is reacting with the clear coat in some sortve way?
@@Randombrah I heard some polishes/compounds dust a lot, some dust a little, and some dont dust much. I guess it all depends what product you go with.
How do u deal with compound flake
Your temps are fine. You just want to watch going above 30°
Nice video Oscar.
Buy a tent is an option
“Well paint me green and call me a pickle”
Detail mamado 💪🏽
Move that mini man and park the audi on the shade
I tell my clients that 1 step is really enough for daily drive
Time for the vídeo ahahah...
ahah just trying to be entertaining
Don't tear a bicep there mate
Lmao
the car is not the only thing thats hot
So you book yourself the whole day for that car ?
Yes
Sir, you're detail videos are awesome. But your deadlift technique is not the best. I'm not a hater and I have learned a lot from your videos, but my expertise is training people how to lift correctly. I would give you tips on how to deadlift more efficiently, but I don't want to be an asshole. Thank You sir for bringing all of the great content. I hope to hear back from you, Oscar.
Bruh that was cringe
Even better tip invest in a pop up canopy they take about 5 minutes to setup and save you alot of mistakes
