I see it all the time on the road. I saw a black corvette with so many buffer trails i couldn't believe it. However, the shop manager appears to be looking for more perfection? And since she signs the paychecks, well you know how th at goes brian. 😅 another excellent video!! Happy new year!! 🌏🇨🇦
I’ve been using Cut Force Pro for over a year, and I love it. Using a rinse-less dampened towel really helps in the removal. I made a video comparing it with ReHab, and Rehab wins because it removes easier but cuts & finishes the same.
I'm personally of the opinion that "Preserving" the clearcoat Is the most important factor. IE: polishing as little as possible preserving the paint. So I'd much rather have hard clearcoat that doesn't scratch quite as easy, vs super soft paint , yet is something I have to correct often. Can only correct so many times before clear is gone. So if I can't PPF hard paint all the way.
A guy i worked with years ago bragged about how cheap he got his black vehicle detailed. We went into the parking lot in the sun and he asked me what all those holograms were from, I told him your cheap detail. I ended up taking care of it for him and he really saw the difference. Like you said i told him I'm sure the person at the dealership didn't know any better. Ran the rotary over it in the body shop and never saw it in the sunlight
Seems that cut force pro dont finish quite good for one step ,product? What is your overall opinion sir fro. Your experience vs koch p6, sonax 04-06, 05-05, Angelwax regenerate?
Brian... first of all.. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge of detiailing on your channel. A good detailer is always learning, and I consider you to be a mentor. I have polished uber soft paints, like GM clear and uber heard paint like Audi and Mercedes. I like polishing paint that falls "in between" to be satisfying. As far as tape, 3M's lime green automotive masking tape is my go to. Happy new year, kind sir!
Medium clear is best haha. But proper washing and drying methods go a long way no matter how hard or soft the clear is. I use the multiple mitt method like you use and it works best for me. Also, I’ve always pronounced Rupes like, Roopez. I don’t know if that’s right but lol. This car isn’t going to look like the same one after you are done with it. It’s coming along nicely.
For a daily driver i would prefer hard paint. I don't expect my DD to have a perfect finish. If it was a garage princess that just came out on special occasions then i would go soft, so i could make the paint look good with less effort
Are you still planning to repair the paint chips or did I miss that video? Also is it best to do the paint chip repair before the paint correction or after?
Awesome stuff man!! Im a big fan of the medium to hard clear.... yeah it takes a little more elbow grease... but well worth it in the long run not having to do a "touch up" every other year...👌🏻
Bryan, as you go through your experimentations with the different phases and products, would you comment on your gloss meter, Providing us some info as to the different angles of incident within the meter, Thank you awesome series
Hey Brian, I like harder paints because they cannot be marred again while wiping off with a towel. As a former Menzerna Fast Gloss 400 User for cutting, I wasn't impressed by the "successor" CutForcePro. It creates the impression that it cuts and finishes well, but compared to the Koch Chemie H9.02 it doesn't clear up as well while polishing and the finish is worse after one cut. It's not bad for beginners, but for pro's its not really an option. In my humble opinion ;-)
I think the sonax cutmax did a better job on the rear door. I think you used a different pad, though. There is nothing like a reflection from a black vehicle. Who ever buys that suv will be happy with paint. A dealership won't pay someone like you to do that good of a job.
Great job & video. I was wondering if you could make a video on cutting with an orbital polisher & finishing with a rotary vs. the opposite way. Cutting with a rotary and finishing with a orbital. I would like to know which is better. Gun man stated he got a cleaner finish with a rotary, as does Ivan from DIY . Maybe do half a hood one way & the other half with the opposite process. Your input on this would be really appreciated by me & I'm sure several other people. Thanks, Vince
As far as being a detailer goes i prefer the soft paint, especially Jaguar Land Rover vehicles as they are really easy to correct and the fact that they get swirled up so easy keeps me busy. Very hard paint can be frustrating as its time consuming and when the progress is slow it can become a real chore by the time you get half way around the vehicle. Brian, how would you clean the microfibre pads if you didnt have access to an air compressor?
Sir can i ask? I follow you many years , why you change the chanell name ? I suppose from your experience of almost 300k subs there is a good reason. Do you also see....a kind of diminishing of ppls interesting on detailing after many years of over saturated content across the internet?
I hope you have the name and contact information for the previous owner of this Lexus. The reason: next time you need a banged up car that’s been driven and abused by an asshole, call that guy, and you’ll have a great project to demonstrate to all of us out here in UA-cam world.
I lost patience with Menzerna marketing much like Meguiars. Reinventing the wheel every 9 months. Jesscar c.c. is the most consistent for the various finishes I deal with.
The Paint was extremely neglected on this Lexus. We were able to make huge strides in restoring it. Time to protect and send it to a new home.
Brought so much clarity back
As a Lexus owner, I prefer a car with extremely hard paint that is nearly difficult to scratch. I will be looking into an armored vehicle for car #2 😆
Shop Manager is such a good dog!

Nice turnaround as always. Happy New Year, sir. Hope the fireworks don't bother the Shop Manager too much.
Thank you Brian 🎉for showing us Lexus owners the way. Happy New Year to you and your family!
I know that correcting black paint is not very forgiving. Awesome job! that Lexus is looking really good!
Looking forward to your next video, Brian.
Love the videos Brian. Learning a lot. How do you clean your pads in between panels?
Huge difference now let’s protect it 💎👑Beautiful job Brian ✊I’m impressed with the difference ✊
I prefer harder paint. LOL (from a guy who owns two Toyota products…..) Thanks Brian, and Happy New Year to you and your son!
Great job Brian!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful new year!!
Great turn around once again.
Definitely prefer a hard clear, yes it’s harder to get scratches out but harder to get them in the first place.
I’ve been using Cut Force Pro for over a year, and I love it. Using a rinse-less dampened towel really helps in the removal. I made a video comparing it with ReHab, and Rehab wins because it removes easier but cuts & finishes the same.
I love P&S Rehab!!!

Great job Brian, I hope you and all the family have a prosperous New Year
Menzerna is a good product. I used it many years ago and it dusted pretty good but I'm sure they've fixed that issue by now.
Brian, have a healthy and hopefully successful New Year.🎉

One of the problems we have in my area are turkeys, they see their reflection in the paint and scratch the hell out of your car, great video Brian 👍😁

Coming down the home stretch.

Amazing! 👌👍
Looks like some great results to me! Happy New Year!
Very nice Brian! Happy new year!
Hey Brian, on my personal vehicles give me the hard stuff. When it comes to customers, I will take soft all day long.
Would LOVE to see how you tackle the door handles.. I have a similiar issue
Awesome stuff man!!
Im a big fan of the medium to hard clear.... yeah it takes a little more elbow grease... but well worth it in the long run not having to do a "touch up" every other year...👌🏻
As you said Brian,not perfect,but sooo much better! Great video,huge turnover.
Looking great!
Hey Brian, thanks again for the video. Can you tell us how you deal with the door handles and the area behind that i always struggle with that
you can finger polish with a compound and microfiber towel or they sell a adapter for a rotary.
@ any videos for further information would be appreciated

Brian have you ever used csi polishes and what did you think of them .
That looks damned good!!!!!
I prefer a vehicle with harder clear coat
And, micro cut or finish pad?
Thanks

What speed after you spread it?
Thanks
nice
Definitively,hard paint is a better option,even if harder to polish.
Nice 😎

Loos good
The hardness of the paint isn't as important to me as people respecting my car as much as I do mine and others
Hard paint
