For anyone asking about the thickness of the clear coat after the treatment, the next step for this car was our full paint protection film coverage which prevents stone chips, scratches and swirl marks, meaning the clear coat is safe!
Thank you for clearing was getting worried
amazing video thanks...do you typically use ceramic p0lished on top of the clear bras
A decent ceramic coating would be a prudent next step.
So you put a ppf that has orange peel in it and your back to how the car originally looked.
Which car manufacturer has the best quality - out of the factory - paint job?
Car that costs this much should have this done at the factory....
No kidding, even dodge vipers are flattened at the factory
letterpool Mercedes does’nt care to detail their cars no matter the costs. I’ve delivered S classes with holograms
@@reigPTzgM detailers at a dealership are not the ones who would do this, it gets done at the factory
Exactly.
I’m guessing that not enough customers care that much about the finish, otherwise it would be done.
And the secret step was turtle 🐢 wax from Walmart...
Ha that's brilliant mate
Top Comment!
Hahahahahaha
A painful soundtrack!
What is walmart🤷🏼♂️🤣
Orange peel on a Maybach, confidence inspiring
through my eyes all Mercedes have it, I owned several of them, even my 31 year old 124 has it. Next time you see a brand new one go have a look, i bet you it has brutal orange peel!
NameSchema100 I live near MB World and can confirm, every merc has really bad orange peel.
@@Da5hed on the other hand you can tell instantly if a car has been repainted/ had an accident, because a bodyshop would never release a car with orange peel as extreme as Mercedes has from the factory ;P
Orange peel is there on purpose on most cars, because it helps hiding defects. A perfectly flat paint surface shows every even so tiny defect (marring, scratch, etc), which is not desirable in most cases.
It is a Mercedes, so... lol.
Wet sanding with a long throw after dry sanding factory clear? Holy moly that's a whole new level of confidence that I doubt I'll ever achieve in my lifetime
Nick Bloodoff give it a try in a scrap panel, it’s a lot less scary than it looks but you do need to know what you’re doing!
Wet sanding with what looks to be a 15 mil throw beggars belief. Hence the massive amount of marring and pigtails left behind prior to compounding.
@@chaseperfectiondetailing5745 I used a dual action to wet sand once and probably never will again. Hand sanding marks are so much easier to remove once you learn the technique.
Nick Bloodoff I couldn’t agree more. Block sanding combined with orbital sanding (no more than 5mm stroke) is all I’ve ever used. Work back to 3000-5000 grit and it shouldn’t need much more than a polish to finish out.
I can’t wrap my head around why he went from a proper orbital sander on the first stage to a large throw DA on the second. So much unnecessary work.
thats not confidence, thats just stupid
I’m a specialist Detailer in Dallas and we offer a similar service as the guys at Topaz. I’ve been following these guys a fair few years and their work is superb. Car manufacturers would never remove orange peel it is just a free optional add on in applying clear coat and the way it cures. Great video guys. Car looks super.
An optional add on ...lol im a painter and non of my jobs have peel its the way its applied to the vehicle to much material coming out and not enough air .....and how thin your paint is
Sweet I bring my fiat panda round to you guys later
you give them panda and when you come back they turn it into a tiger
First i read fat panda lol
Koppany K. You read it wrong
know
That amount of cleanning will propably rub it away ...
and the paint job is chipped 20 minutes after leaving the shop, by gravel from a dumpster truck on i-95.
This.
They installed a paint protection film so no
Detailing
at this rate, the owner no longer has to drive his car , the maybach will have to be shipped wherever it goes
I know where you live now
Very nice job it’s a huge undertaking to get paint perfect. Anyone complaining about clear coat being removed that car probably gets washed and waxed twice a week so it won’t mater. Paint lasts forever if it’s looked after.
I just finished restoring 2 vintage dodges and it took over a week on each car to rub it back to get the paint like that.
Great idea fine lining the high points.
All i have to say is WOW!!! This is a step above everyone else!! Topaz is setting a standard & bringing detailing to a whole NEW level!! So we all need to step our game up!! Big ups & much Respect to the guys at Topaz Detailing !!
There should be some kind of award that you can get for doing such a perfectionist's level of work. Truly amazing the amount of work that goes into this Level 5. I now feel ashamed about the state of my car. :-)
The confidence level to attack the clearcoat through literal sanding to diminish the appearance of orange peel effect,and achieve mirror like finish is off the charts. Orange peel effect removed. Mirror like finish achieved. Incredible job.
*All of this work on a car that will depreciate faster than the Titanic sank.* Bravo!
people who can afford it wont care about the depreciation.
Actually mayback kept their value
Hilarious!
It’s a Pullman no way it’s losing Value
*Luxury cars do not hold their value.* Luxury buyers want the latest and greatest tech and gadgets. This is the reason their value plummets and 85% of luxury cars you see on the road are leased -- specially German brands. This is also why you can by a 7 year old $100K S Class for 20-25% of it's value while a same year same mileage Honda Accord only dropped 50% of it's value while retaining it. As years go by from there, the Honda will hit residual value while the luxury cars continues to drop. Fact.
Beautiful work!!! Iridium or not, those wheels look outdated though.
That detail probably costs more than my car lol
Probably costs more than that car in a few years
@@jonathanramirez232 haha so true. these things depreciate like a roller coaster. S600s from the early 2000s are selling for under 5k nowadays because they're basically money pits
Full detail like that is more tham £10,000
damn right homeboy
@@jonathanramirez232 😂😂yes
Now that's what I call lateral and longitudinal thinking. Masking off all the swedge lines, for example, to prevent sanding through the edges is a very simple but highly effective method.
The design and quality of the DAs and machine polishers enable the kind of precision aimed at and achieved in this tutorial. Having the right tools and equipment combined with a fine eye for detail and plenty of patience are key elements in achieving a flawless finish.
I wonder whether the secret stage involves baking the car at a certain temperature after a certain (ceramic?) coating has been applied and removed to create a protective barrier and lasting finish.
I can't wait to plow into this car in my 1973 Pinto!
NeoCynic1 😂
We all care about how clean and polished our cars are but we never think about how clean our environment is.
We destroy our own home. The home we are going to have to leave behind for our kids one day. Lets face it, death comes to us all and do you want to die and leave our earth in a shit state for future generations to live?
Look after our earth and everything on it. Without nature the earth wont live and neither will humans.
And remember... your human too.
Hahaha
Without insurance
I wouldn’t go this far on the detailing because it scared me the most especially the sanding process. Polish and layers with ppf on top of it is good enough for me. Anyway it’s good to know there is advance step on the car detailing that bring mirror finish to another level.
It's says oh the video they are doing ppf 🤦🏽♂️
3:03 Congratulations! You just played your self.
Can you put orange peel back in my paint? My BMW paint doesn't have any!!! 😂😂
Man that’s gotta feel so good tearing into a 100+ thousand dollar car paint job. Back when I first started in racing I was in control of 2 prototype AudiR8s before the road car came out, easily 2 million dollars trusted in my hands to grind on and repair carbon fiber then paint. Just felt so good and scary knowing that people entrust you with the responsibility then believing enough in myself to not completely screw it up trying to pretend like it was nothing more than a practice hood from the junkyard and best yet is when you pull it off and the owner (rest in peace you’re one of the greatest men I ever had the honor to know ) comes in and says great job with a smile, looking back it’s still humbling. I scored that job right out of tech school which is why I was so scared and doubted my abilities but pushed on. Anyway killer job brother looks amazing, so much depth to the color and clean, absolutely beautiful!!!
nice to see someone that understands the wetsand process and need after painting,most people have no idea what "it looks like glass" actually means completely flat and zero distortion
In my opinion the part of a detail video that we all look forward to the most is the end where you see the entire car in all it's glory. When that is left out the video loses a massive amount of its potential. Please take 30 seconds to really show the car in daylight preferably.
About as far from a £10 car wash at Tesco as you can get!
I do it all!!! I love painting cars. My specialty is custom paint and design. I also do single stage as well as factory paint jobs. 100 hrs is only four days it can take longer than that to complete a job
My dream is working with these guys. I could never achieve something as good as what they have achieved. I’m very impressed to say the least. The level of detail on the work of the car was simply incredible. Keep up the good work guys!
Study paint and then start your own business.
How many microns were removed during the process?
Kennedy Catala it’s how paint depth is measured, essentially I’m asking how much lacquer was removed from the car by the sanding and polishing stages in this example
If you ask me quite a few. Looks like a big clear coat process..
I'm asking the same question. How many microns before he started. Then how many when he was finished?
If he went to deep. This car may look great now. But with almost no clear coat left. What will it look like in a year?
@@K1CGT microns lmao. I swear folks who learn detailing in youtube are funny.. He removed nothing significant.. Especially if this is the first time it has been done.. Now his buffing procedure is kinda wierd though.. Too many steps working backwards and stuff...aint nothing secret to what he just did lol
einnol B just asking out of curiosity 🤔
I remember having to get a finish like that when I was using cellulose paints. Final flat with P1200 wet and dry to remove any imperfections, then start polishing with Belco rubbing compound, before applying polish. Everything done by hand.
I think I’ll keep my Maybach as it is thank you.
Was a bit concern about the thickness of the clear coat but Topaz Detailing address that issue. That Mayback came out looking like a complete mirror. Amazing work again from Topaz. 👍
This is almost as satisfying as the blackhead removal video I just watched before.
6:30 Everybody laughing till Minecraft jumps in the detailing game.
You've got balls of steel sanding that expensive car :) respect :)
If doing ppf does removing orange peel change the result once the ppf is layed?
PPF adds a very slight amount of orange peel, however, much less than the amount that has been removed in this process
@@puhipuhi8696 orange peel is the term used for texture in the finish of the paint. It's called orange peel because the texture looks similar to the texture of an orange peel
@@puhipuhi8696 My ex wife butt... You now what i mean?
pause the video at 00:24 seconds. that is orange peel.
vladimir kostic, that’s called cellulite.
Lambs wool on the floor ?? Ha ha
Perfect for those raining days !!
buys maybach for 1mil and it haves orange peel np
1mil? More like 200k
@@AlAl-hl7xi - He didn't specify what currency.
@@AlAl-hl7xi, don't forget the options.
@@AlAl-hl7xi Its a s600 pullman it costs 800k to 1 mil
An amazing video, thank you for sharing! Your level of knowledge and precise technique is beyond description! Whew!
"State of the art entertainment" 😂 easy now
There is nothing secret about a flat and buff!
I was told you can't remove orange peel from factory paint jobs because it's so thin.
I was told that aftermarket paint jobs are much thicker and can be remedied.
Cool video
Paint thickness varies from manufacturer to manufacturer
I do custom paint jobs for a living... and the taping the “curves” with 1/4 inch fine line tape is not necessary it’s extreme over kill.
no it's not, those area's get much more wear in the sanding process if not taped properly, which would shorten the technical life time of the paint.
It's overkill until you burn through the clear coat and have to fix it at your own cost. Which means repainting the panel which means resale value is down which means owner is pissed which means no more business for you.
Lol so you guys don’t know what your doing then... Ive been doing top notch custom paint work since I was 13 years old when I first got into the custom paint industry... I can do this type of work in my sleep
@@brockdaniel2458 But with custom paint you have A LOT of clear coat to work with, not so much with factory paint these days.
Jiri Pavlik well I’ve done tons of high end vehicles that come from straight off the dealer lots and sand them with 1500-5000 grit sand paper and I’ve never have had any issues I guess it’s with the amount of experience I have. From the factory there is not a lot of clear on them but never had any problems as long as you pay attention. I would rather be careful tho and tape it but it’s a waste of time in my opinion.
Removing orange peel on factory finish is very dangerous and in my oppinion it is bad for car. Would prefer sanding clearcoat and give it 2 flow coats of clear and than polishing it into mirror, because in your case, this is the last polishing without removing too much!
For those on the cheaper side of life but want a except finish.
Just pressure wash your car.
Clay bar the whole car.
Then hand polish with turutle wax or the like.
That will last plenty and look excellent.
Big balls throwing a da on a Maybach. Awesome result!
It takes courage to get sanding on a Maybach..it looks out of this world 🌍.....wicked
wow even my Kia doesnt have that orange peel effect, great job mercedes!
Hat's off to your staff they do a excellent job.. And to offer service like this is amazing. As a fellow detailer. Customers need to understand the process and it's not magic.. It takes time and experience. You get what you pay for
I’m not about to look over the fact this a damn Mercedes Pullman ! Amazing
I bet that surface is unbelievable smooth!
Cool to see this craftmanship in action, stunning result.
They should put these videos on loop in the break room at the MB dealers and manufacturing plants.
I use to be the cosmetic guy for a classic car restoration shop and I would do jobs like this on crazy cars. The job would have to be flawless because these cars would go to auctions like Barrett Jackson and prestige car shows.
I really enjoyed doing it. It's to bad the owners couldn't keep things going.
The colour on that thing is gorgeous.
Absolutely amazing work. I'm planning on doing my first ever full wet sand detail this year on a Focus RS Mk2.
PPF if using Xpel ultimate works out at about £100.00 a metre .!
Give the car full paint correction then use Gtechniq crystal serum .. ceramic coating .
And than the owner takes it to be wrapped, next door... For protection.
😁😁
No they are installing the ppf right after the paint correction process.
@@Pty-gk2vb basically a wrap 😁
@@sim6057138 yes and no🤓 is like saying 3 state paint job without ceramic clear coat is same as a 3 stage paint job with ceramic clear coat.🤷🏼♂️
Vraiment j'apprécie votre travail. Et ça me plaît beaucoup de venir travailler avec vous dans votre société si vous voulez bien....
Moi-même je fais la peinture. Ça me plaît beaucoup de venir travailler avec vous
Been waiting for this video for a long time. Stunning work! 99+% corrected!
Your videos are so relaxing to watch
Simply the best! Love to see this amazing work. Whole new level of “being brave” 😀
The car is so perfectly clean. I wouldn't dare to ride it.
Was so satisfying to watch, I even want this for my car
Am I the only one who had a moment, when they laid that DA on Maybach paint?
Great job
That's crazy a car of that price doesn't come with perfect paint! I guess they know people are foolish enough to fall for it. Amazing work on your part!
Can't do that too often since you are sanding down the clear...just keep that in mind
If you can afford a Maybach you can afford a respray............or a new car
I think that's why they are adding PPF after the correction. I'd ceramic coat it, then PPF, then ceramic coat on top of the PPF to be super safe.
They are installing ppf after this process . Around the whole car
Wet sand by hand with soft block and 1200 grit ...no orange peel or burn through. Three coats of clear.
Topaz is the best
Loved the music. And nice to watch.
Ridiculous, love it! I thought orange peel was in the base coat and not the orange peel, guess I was wrong although I suppose either layer could have it.
Note to self: never use quickbooks. SO, SO annoying, with ads on EVERY video I try to watch... anyway, I enjoyed seeing this thing being sanded!
Ca c'est du vrai travail !! Good Job.
This is my last job, this is why I know that.
Beautiful song !!??
Great work but video almost unwatchable that music!
Listen to it without sound maybe?
those trizact pads smell so nice
A maybach should come from the factory like this!
Amazing quality high end work and love the attention to detail. You do feel though this car should be like this from when brought New from the dealer.
The paint was perfect even before the detailing
Well done guys...! Excellent work.
This video will make millions of views.
Meaning of Detailing
/Buffing a car that is already glossy
glossy maybe, but still littered with defects
Top notch paint quality by Maybach :))) Seriously: If you pay very high prices for these cars, I think you schouldn't be looking at orange peel.
This puts the Phrase "Better than new" on a whole new level. Amazing !
But as others already said: A Car in this prize range should look like this from factory.
@MercedesBenz Maybach : You have some work to do !
u R THE best Master Of Remove Scrths
for the money you spend, and also from mercedes branding/heritage perspective, youd think high end auto manufacturers would deliver cars pre-detailed to standards like this
Incredible work..
Guys i suggest you to sand the car in lines (parallel to the car from the front to the rear just like the wind hits the car), it will prevent a lot of sandmarks and it will give like a clean methodic pattern. This will encrease the mirror look a lot more, will prevent some whirls in the clear coat and if the paint or the ppf film get chipped or scratched the mark will be a lot less visible cause of the under pattern going the same direction of it. What are your thoughts on that? 🤔 Except that, just 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you guys are on another level 🔝
Fede Master that wouldn’t make a difference, the sanding marks are removed via polishing so the direction is not relevant. Plus Going in straight lines would require hand sanding and machine sanding is generally safer and more efficient.
@@Obsessioncardetailing the sanding marks are removed by increasing the grain step by step the polish is used at the end for removing finer marks. Anyway using a power tool as you said is better for getting a more uniform result, but i assure you whirl marks will appear a lot before than the method i explained if you don't put ceramic coating every 4 month or PPF
Fede Master yeah I know how sanding marks are removed. But can you explain how sanding in straight lines will prevent swirl marks
@@Obsessioncardetailing cause if the "scratches" caused by the sanding are all going in the same way it will create a uniform pattern, if you sand in circles you'll create circular "scratches" wich are more due to show whirls in reflections. Obviously if you polish 2 or 3 times the body it won't show up that obvious but if you use 1 low grain polish you can see a slight diffference 🙂 and again if you get a rockchip or some heavy dirt causing light scratches the orizontal pattern underneat is more lean to hide it 😊
@@fedemaster3749 If you sand using a random orbital machine, the scratch pattern created is random and uniform. Even if you sand in circles, or straight lines, if you do it properly and step down the grades (1500, 2000, 3000, 5000 grit, or as needed), then all the scratches will be gone - compounding and polishing will remove any fine marks left over leaving a perfectly level finish with no scratches or sanding marks.
So basically if you do the job properly, going in straight lines wont actually benefit.
The maybach is also indeed an awesome car
yeah wow, that's quality... well done guys.
Great vid... Do you sell your own products or are you a high-end detailing company???
Orange peel on cars is so yesterday, bring back good old fashioned spray cans for that rattled finish!
I can see the amount of work and dont get me wrong it turned out real nice but I much rather spray another clear coat after all that labor ..thicker and smooth as well with a flow coat
The Pullman is not being painted in a factory. Its also not built by Mercedes Benz.
Topaz killing the game, great work guys keep smashing it 🙏🏾
Wow, I can tell I have orange peel I hate it.
6:30 secret step is the guy basically lobbing the polish machine at it then taking a swing with a carbon steel baseball bat just incase anyone wanted to know :)
100 hours = maybe 30 actually working hours
100 hours is actually fast (if it includes everything), considering multiple sanding steps, multiple buffing and polishing steps were done, plus all the work around (washing, masking, protecting etc.) ON A LIMOUSINE-SIZED CAR...
Are you telling me a Maybach needs color correction? Gotta be kidding.
They're not correcting the color, they're correcting the clear coat.
Nice detail job
У нас если бы увидел хазяйн майбаха то его инфаркт хватил бы! А так красавчики! 👍
Can't believe a expensive car would have not near perfect paint t start with.
Perfect results 😍
How much is removed? I know you guys take measurements. Just curious
yeap... sanding to correct deeps and highs.... just BS
