      Problem will be to pick some one , some place to do it. How do we know they will do all they say they will? We have to trust them, as there is NO way we can know whether they did all the steps in a complete manner....whether they put 2 coats of ceramic, or the 7 coats we paid for. I am absolutely willing to pay for a professional's time, so will stay away from the really cheap guys.....but, I don't want to get ripped off too. What to do ?

    Hi, excellent video and very detailed 😊 one of the best videos I've seen on it. BTW is it possible to do the full job over a course of a few days, ie compound a panel or two a day and also same with polishing and maybe wash it again the following day before starting the next panel or does it have to all be done in one go?

    • @TomDoesDetails
      @TomDoesDetails  4 роки тому +1

      TheGmiah Thank you and that’s a really good question. I’ve actually never done that before but it’s probably best to complete it all same time so you have consistent correction throughout. However if you aren’t going to drive the car and it’s going to stay in a garage I don’t see why not. Maybe just use an IPA to re prep the panels.

    Looking forward for your answer.

      @TomDoesDetails  3 роки тому

      Hey, so it all depends on how well you maintain it. If you are washing it properly with a ph balanced soap and using a ceramic topper it can last for years. The car will of course still get dirty but after washing it will have the shine and gloss again.

She didn't want to believe that I did not repaint it ... I only cleaned and waxed it and showed her the scratches in the old paint .
    So YES some times you might need to use the clay bar more than once to get it clean

    Wow that before and after photo! Worked so good that even the driveway and grass look better !!

      Exactly, that’s the only thing I don’t like….that’s called click bait lying. Show a true before and after without doctoring the images to make the difference seem more dramatic than it actually is.
