      Didn't Mike Philips from Autogeek have a detailing based show on cable for a very short run many years ago? My father swears he remembers watching it.. He is still a regular on Velocity/Motortrend selling something or other. I've seen Larry before as well, I distinctly remember watching him steam cleaning the hell out of the paint on a filthy barn find car.

    This is really amazing - education and instruction from two experts for FREE. I remember just a few years ago, trying to get this type of information from a professional detailer was impossible - "trade secrets". Thank you to Larry for making this information available and for taking the time to do it!

    What I like about watching Larry over OG is that Larry KNOWS what he is doing. Its actual learning the proper way from real pros. Matt just wants money, he dont want to be a detailer, or care to be in the industry, he just wants you to buy his stuff. For beginners, that is SO misleading. Right on Larry!

    Larry you and Kevin’s did a great job breaking down a complex topic into a 20 minute sound bite. I’m glad you covered that most of the UV protection in clear coat is near the top of the layer. Once gone its gone for the most part. Lastly you never really know what’s been done to the car before you get it. Was it wet sanded, aggressively compounded, damaged and repaired etc. I can not believe how few detailers either own or use a thickness measuring gauge before correcting paint. It’s not the end all be all tool but sure helps in diagnosing paint issues. When I was being taught this stuff the reference was a 3M sticky note representing the thickness of the clear coat.

There is a lot of great information out there, but I seriously appreciate when the Channel's content is spot on. Good information also starts with knowing your audience, aka Speech 101. No wonder it's 2M subscribers, definitely one of the larger paint channels.

    @brandtharen 5 років тому

    I would love for this series to also cover single stage paint (both base color only and base/clear mix). Certainly most vehicles one encounters today are 2 stage, but someone might still need to address this older style of paint. Specificaly I have a Toyota built in the year 2000 which is painted with single stage paint (T040 Super White) which from what I have reached is a color and clear mix applied in a single layer. Many detailing videos cover correction of 2 stage paint but I've not found much for single stage. The level of detail you cover and the care you take with vehicles makes you is what makes me enjoy and trust the information you provide. Thank you and I look forward to future episodes in this series.

  • @burton926
    @burton926 5 років тому +5

    2 things:
    First, I love the "do no harm" concept for detailing. So often I see detailers quote paint correction on something that is either too deep (remove all CC) or so shallow that consistent wax/sealant will render similar results without permanent repercussions.
    Second, I am curious about the temperature shock and delamination from a DA versus normal environmental effects. Think of a black car in Arizona: If its in a garage, especially a garage with A/C all night, then drives out into the sun at high noon, the temperature shock will be MASSIVE. I've never felt like I could cook an egg on a panel after polishing, but there is plenty of proof you can do just that on a black surface in Arizona summer. Compared to these environmental effects, which auto manufacturers account and test for, the heat shock to the paint from polishing seems negligible. There is always an exception, like polishing one tiny area too much or leaving a rotary in place, but that is just poor polishing technique. With good technique, why would polishing cause expansion/delamination that extends beyond the engineered functional life cycle of the paint?
    Anybody got any knowledge to drop?

    • @iwcb8413

    • @74thavehustler
      @74thavehustler 4 роки тому

      This has always intrigued me too. Certainly most if not all manufacturers would do environmental testing (in addition to the testing done by the paint/coatings supplier). I’ve seen a few videos where people have attempted to force delamination via DA - and it seems very difficult and I’d view this risk on a case by case basis. I think modern paint systems are very durable and can take a lot of punishment. Still - I believe this is a critical concept to understand and something to be respectful and aware of and as a detailer.
