It's really comforting to see an experienced professional do this and yet there are still some blemishes/swirls left. Makes me realize, as a very new detailer, I don't have to provide 'perfection' unless the client is willing to pay for that extra work. Some just want it clean and shiny but perfection is more expensive...even then, it may not be possible if the paintwork is damaged. This still looks great compared to before Also, I'm so glad you commented that cleaning glass is your nemesis - I've been struggling with that. Glad to know that even the experts find it tricky
Hi! Thanks so much! Yes when it comes to polishing and paint correction there is what we call the “Detailer’s Dilemma”. How far should one go to achieve desired results as opposed to going all the way and sometimes even to far to achieve “perfection”. Perfect paint is pretty much impossible unless it’s repainted meticulously and then wet sanded and polished to perfection. But yes I certainly am a firm believer in reasonable expectations. 😎👍🏼
Awesome job, I prefer 3D one just for the fact that I can put better protection on afterwards and whatever you put on seems to bond incredibly well after using it.
Oh yeah. This comment is about a year old. We use 3D one all the time. It’s a great compound and polish! Great for paint Enhancement or one step polishing.
Yeah I tried that but it leaves micro marring on this paint. I needed a solution that leaves no marring. It’s just what happens with microfiber pads. Even though the 50/50 can finish in some paints nicely, it’s not the answer to everything. This was not a correction, simply and enhancement, so I only go as far a need to go, not trying to correct the paint anymore than what is needed for this job. Thanks though. 👍🏼
Great video! The truck turned out great! You are correct it’s so hard to not be a perfectionist when doing an enhancement. You mentioned glass is your nemesis well if you want to try a great glass cleaner I would highly suggest Shiney’s Detail Glass Cleaner. I have tried many and hated cleaning glass but this stuff makes easy work of it.
Thanks man! Glass!!! I’ll try that also! I am finding that AMglass works really well also! I only have a little bottle of it so I’m using it sparingly.
4 years on and 3D Speed is still king of AIO. It just works so damn well. Using with forced rotation you can really fly around a vehicle and offer customers a huge improvement at an affordable price. Its a pleasure to use.
Phil, Speed has 10% cut, 20% polish, and 70% wax in the formula. That's is probably why we get more out of Speed than HD Polish. The only time I had issues with Speed was when I was doing a car in 40° temps with the hard orange Buff and Shine pads. If I had taken my black pads I probably would have been fine. It was so bad that I ran to O'rilleys and picked up a bottle of Megs M06 Cleaner Wax, which navigated that cool day effortlessly. I used M06 earlier that fall season on another vehicle of theirs, and I was surprised at how many swirls it removed. Seriously completely stunned.

I seem to get a better cut and gloss finish with the buff n shine euro tec synthetic mirofiber pads and the 3d speed. Cuts a little better and finishes out great to. Check those pads out, im using them alot recently and liking the look they leave. Nice video too.
Another good video. I haven't used HD speed but I know I can get 3D products where I live. I've used Carpro Essence with a finishing pad to up the gloss after correction.
I tried 3D Speed this summer on my sister's well paint abused Jeep Cherokee, and it was AMAZING in how well it removed the hundreds of spiderwebs and scratches (some quite deep!) and how easy it goes on and comes off... but the coating doesn't bead for all that long... maybe 1-2 washes... 2 weeks at most. It needs something else on top of it that lasts longer... or maybe I am not understanding the goals of this product is supposed to attain, however as an AIO product, it's specialty is removing scratches, not longer term protection... even Turtle Wax ICE lasts longer... lol Would I buy it again? Yes, as a light scratch remover, it is excellent, but not as something used as a protective or help keep the car beading.
Definitely should leave the polish on the panel as you go once done with the vehicle then wipe off. The polymers need some time to bond just like a normal paste wax and it wipes off easy even after a full day in the sun.
this give a nice shine is t available here .if you cut to much might make the clear coat thinner better few in perfections with a good clear coat.and nice shine
Great job and I know is an old video but I am a rookie in this auto detailing stuff,hope you can help me with some answers,so what I understand this paint job was only a wash,clay and polish with 3D speed? And is call or charge to the customer as paint enhasment? And paint correction is when somebody ad the compound first and then all I have mention.Sorry but English is not my primary language.
Hi. Thanks. So this is OUR paint enhancement service. Each Detailer may have a slightly different definition of what a paint correction or paint enhancement is. For our enhancements we strive for at least 50% swirl removal. So in this case 3D Speed with a medium pad did an amazing job. The paint was relatively soft and responded really well to this combo. 3D speed does have cutting ability and does remove swirls and not just fills them. When worked in like a compound it cuts. If just quickly passed over the paint and applied like a wax it just glosses and fills the swirls.
Either the editing but I noticed that with all in ones the arm speed does not have to be slow is that so ? Thank you big fan of your channel learned a lot of tips and tricks
Well it depends on the paint and what the customer is expecting. The slower you go the more correction you will achieve with certain products. I can get really good correction with 3D Speed going slow with an orange lake country pad. But if I go faster the correction is not as good. So try it on different vehicles and see how the product and pad combos work and see if you need to go slower or if a little faster may also work. There are many variables that into polishing sometimes you just have to jump in and see how the paint reacts.
It all depends on the defects and hardness of the paint. Compounding and polishing always takes longer. For me usually compounding will take most of the day then I polish on the next day. But polishing is much quicker.
Hi Philip. Great job. The truck turned out wonderful. Since this contains a protectant as well is there something that you recommend as a topper to extend the protection?
Hi. Meguiars discontinued Fast Finish and came out with a ceramic spray coating that is pretty much an updated version of it. It’s good stuff also. But 3D also came out with Bead It Up which is also a ceramic spray sealant that works great with 3D Speed.
Great video! What’s your process with faded trim and rubber trimming around the car when doing an exterior detail job? Any products you can recommend? Thnx!
Thanks! I’m sure it removes a tiny amount to be able to remove that top layer of oxidation but nothing to be worried about. If coupled with a microfiber cutting disc almost anything will remove some clear.
What do you use to decrease the truck Iike how you just go to washing after a good decrease an rinse I use 6 mitts to to contact wash to sides hood bottom
Amazing job Miranda! In between HD speed and Mezerna 3 in 1, which you prefer or recommend? As I told you, I am a beginner detailer and I was thinking of buying both so thats why im asking. Regards buddy
I actually haven’t tried Menzerna 3in1 yet but I have heard it’s good. I just love 3D Speed so much and I’m used to using it all the time and even in direct sunlight on black cars. So it’s a win for me. But I have also heard that McKee’s 360 amzn.to/34YXZuz. Is also very good and the same price.
@@MirandaDetailing Never heard of the Mckees. HD Speed has that advantage that you can work with it in the sun. I think the Mezerna can be similar to the Auto Finesse Tripple. Thanks a lot buddy
3 in 1 cuts a little more, finishes more consistently on a wider variety of paints, but it can be very "grabby" to remove. Speed wipes off with ease, and is about half the price. 3D and Menzerna are my favorite polishes.
So from your experience what is the best pad all around that works with 3D speed for finishing with no marring light defects removal the orange or any other pads ?
Hi Phil, great job. I am just beginning my business and would like to know how many pads you went through or did you keep cleaning the pad. Great video.
Thanks! That’s great! I used about 3 pads on this job. I blow them out with my air compressor after each section I polish. That keeps them cool and removes the majority of the residue.
Miranda Detailing sorry I am just getting back to you Phil, I would love to see about how to polish or restore black trim. There are different kinds that I notice doesn’t always take well to certain products. I will keep looking through all your vids to see what I come across. I just received my HD speed order and can’t wait to use it. Once again thanks brother.
@@joepoe8861 Hi No problem....Trim can be tricky, I assume you mean the black textures trim right? Or do you mean the gloss black pillars? Those also can be finicky.
Gm paint always seems to be the hardest to cut I did two this weekend with an aio and a white pad....is it okay to go with a pad with more cut ? I struggled with the scratches left behind but in the sun they both looked awesome and I was happy with it. I just need to remember enhance not correct
Yeah sometimes GM paint is hard. Depends on the color, and model. You can certainly use a heavier cutting pad if needed. I know what you mean. The lights make the scratches pop out more than usual.
@@MirandaDetailing thanks for the response! Ya they def do I just put new lights in my garage I was worried pulled it out and was astonished at the amount of gloss and clarity.
Hey Phil. To use 3D speed. Would I have to remove wax and ceramic coating that I just applied like a week ago? I’m just not happy with the way it looks. It looks decent. But I want perfection. And if so, what the easiest way to strip off. Thanks guys. You guys rock!! Joe l
Hi. If it’s just a wax or sealant just use a good degreaser or all purpose cleaner when you’re washing to weaken it and remove most of it. But if it’s a ceramic coating you’re going to have to compound it off, like you’re doing a full paint correction. Then you can polish it with 3DSpeed
It’s very minimal cut. It’s more of a finish polish. Brightness is hard to determine since gloss, shine, and brightness is very subjective. But for me I love the gloss it gives.
very nice video dear sia again great product unfortunatelly not availiable in Europe. Do you have any experience with the AIO menzerna 3-1 or Scholl a15 AIO? i am testing them now days.they only proffesional AIo i have availiable to my country
How long do you typically take to enhance paint vs a one step or 2 brother? I’m finding lately I take too long on enhancements and end up doing more of a one step
Ever detailers “enhancement polish” is slightly different. For us we try to achieve 50% or more swirl removal. Some would consider that a one step correction, but that’s just the way we put our services together. Most enhancements can take us about 3-4 hours with the two of us from beginning to end.
@@MirandaDetailing okay I don’t feel so bad taking 3.5 hours Yesterday. I’m still trying out a few pads for enhancements. Not sure if an orange HDO has the same gloss as a black one just with added cut. I like that ; like you said , the orange does polish some but still removes imperfections.
Is this company normally difficult to work with? And is there anyone in the company to contact to help resolve orders that are taking weeks to get here after they shipped it? The normal customer service people just are not helping and won’t escalate to someone higher up… I thought maybe you may have a contact person.
Thanks! Well I might if I need to. I tend to incorporate products and tool reviews into our videos as we actually work on customers vehicles. I have so many products to catch up on it may be a while. But I have heard great things about that combo!
Those are some incredible products. Add 3D One, and you have a great trio of polishes. Extra cut, medium cut, and ultra fine. ACA520 is the "secret weapon" I save for really critical jobs. If 3D One isn't finishing I'll typically use AAT502. Sometimes 3D One will haze up the paint, sort of like Meguiar's M205. AAT501 is also a quality compound. I actually really like it on yellow and orange Americana pads - which are made by Lake Country. It's a different compound. It seems to start out as a kind of thinner or wetter emulsion, and then turns into a film to cut with, and when you're done there is barely anything to buff off the paint.
Speed has 10% cutting abrasives, 20% polishing abrasives, and 70% protective ingredients (sealant, and montan wax). One seems to be right in the middle of cut and finish, and has zero protective elements in the formula. No waxes, sealants, etc.
Hi. Basically it’s very simple. Just spray apc or degreaser and blast out with the pressure washer. Then go back in and wipe down. If it needs more attention I’ll go in with a brush, cleaner and maybe even steam and clean it up more. Then spray a sealant and rubber boots with a dressing and good to go.
@@MirandaDetailing Oh okay. Yeah I was worried about having something small enough to do those areas. I have a 3.5" backing plate for my main polisher with 4" pads. Do you think its worth getting something smaller? Thanks
How long can you expect this to last? A customer of mine wants a paint enhancement and protection for several months (through the winter) should I top off with a wax? Will it even hold?
Hey Phil. I’m going to da polish my 2017 fire bronze truck soon. Paint is in good shape..I’m using 3D speed. How much pressure should I apply? Don’t wanna harm anything..I know it’s kind of a iffy question..thanks guys.
Hi! You can apply very little pressure, enough to keep the polisher flat and stable. You can also go a little slower to get the pad and polish to engage more and get better results. 😎👍🏼
What do mean? I didn’t have anyone make mine. I just made it myself 10 years ago. I didn’t use a basic car shape for the top but that’s about it. I know so many Detailers use that car style logo, but it works! 😎👍🏼
Miranda Detailing really ?? Well my fault. Literally I seen that exact logo on the FIVERR app maybe a coincidence or maybe something you need to check out lol
Good tip. I’ll try to do that. Do you prefer voiceover explaining the process instead? Becasue sometimes that can be much easier for me. I do tend to ramble on. But I also try to answer questions and explain things. What do you think?
Haha. I know right. I wish I could kindly suggest something back to them, or make some joke of it but people either take it the wrong way or get nasty. Whatever. I may start a new series called “stupid comment of the week” and have some fun with these silly or stupid comments.
I loved when u said stop The urge to get The Paint perfect... It's true, sometimes for us is difficult to stoo

Hi. If it’s just a wax or sealant just use a good degreaser or all purpose cleaner when you’re washing to weaken it and remove most of it. But if it’s a ceramic coating you’re going to have to compound it off, like you’re doing a full paint correction. Then you can polish it with 3DSpeed
@@MirandaDetailing yeah, tw hybrid Solution Ceramic spray coating.
Quick question, what pad did you use, looks like lake country?
Hi. Yes it’s the regular lake country orange flat pads. bit.ly/3G97oCb

Hey Phil, great work as always, what did you use on the wheel wells? Thanks!
Hi. You mean as a cleaner? I believe we used super clean 4:1
@@MirandaDetailing it looked shiny after you were done, not sure if you used something to get it looking shiny
Oh for that I just used some bare bones from Chemical Guys
@@MirandaDetailing thank you sir! Doing an F-150 Harley Davidson edition black truck next week weather permitting so thank you for the great tips!
How much you will charge to do that to that truck if it was free well how much would you had charged
Hi. Our Paint Enhancement services starts at $500. Check out our website for our services and prices. www.mirandadetailing.com
how long did this take you? from washing to decon to polishing?
Hi I forget exactly but about 4 hours with the two of us.
in the cut and brightness table how much is hd speed? Thank you
It’s very minimal cut. It’s more of a finish polish. Brightness is hard to determine since gloss, shine, and brightness is very subjective. But for me I love the gloss it gives.
very nice video dear sia again great product unfortunatelly not availiable in Europe.
Do you have any experience with the AIO menzerna 3-1 or Scholl a15 AIO? i am testing them now days.they only proffesional AIo i have availiable to my country
Thanks. Sorry to here that. I have used the Menzerna AIO yet or the scholls polishes.
@@MirandaDetailing you have...or you have not used????? i confused my english hahahahahaha
Sorry I typed that wrong🤦🏻♂️. I have not used them.
@@MirandaDetailing hahah...so...my english are ok for now.......hahah..............keep up the great work sir......i love your videos
Thanks!
How long do you typically take to enhance paint vs a one step or 2 brother? I’m finding lately I take too long on enhancements and end up doing more of a one step
Ever detailers “enhancement polish” is slightly different. For us we try to achieve 50% or more swirl removal. Some would consider that a one step correction, but that’s just the way we put our services together. Most enhancements can take us about 3-4 hours with the two of us from beginning to end.
@@MirandaDetailing okay I don’t feel so bad taking 3.5 hours Yesterday. I’m still trying out a few pads for enhancements. Not sure if an orange HDO has the same gloss as a black one just with added cut. I like that ; like you said , the orange does polish some but still removes imperfections.
Can you use a ceramic coating after 3s speed??
Hi. Nope. We don’t use all in one polishes like that before a coating. We use Dr Beasleys NSP primer polishes for coatings.
How long did just the AIO/enhancement process take you?
This one took us about 3 hours.
How long does the protection last after washes? 6 months
Hi. Depending on how it’s washed and maintained it can get 4-6 months.
Is this company normally difficult to work with? And is there anyone in the company to contact to help resolve orders that are taking weeks to get here after they shipped it? The normal customer service people just are not helping and won’t escalate to someone higher up… I thought maybe you may have a contact person.
Hi. Do you mean 3D?
Yes lol, man I didn’t even add the company, I’m sorry! But yes 3D.
Oh that’s weird. I have never really had to contact them before so I don’t know, I simply ordered products on Amazon
What do you think of 3D 500 Xtra Cutting Compound and 3D 520 Finishing Polish?
Hi! I actually have not had a chance to try those.
@@MirandaDetailing are you planning on doing a review on them? Love your videos! Learned a lot from them! Hope you make a video on it. Thanks!
Thanks! Well I might if I need to. I tend to incorporate products and tool reviews into our videos as we actually work on customers vehicles. I have so many products to catch up on it may be a while. But I have heard great things about that combo!
Those are some incredible products.
Add 3D One, and you have a great trio of polishes.
Extra cut, medium cut, and ultra fine.
ACA520 is the "secret weapon" I save for really critical jobs. If 3D One isn't finishing I'll typically use AAT502. Sometimes 3D One will haze up the paint, sort of like Meguiar's M205.
AAT501 is also a quality compound. I actually really like it on yellow and orange Americana pads - which are made by Lake Country. It's a different compound. It seems to start out as a kind of thinner or wetter emulsion, and then turns into a film to cut with, and when you're done there is barely anything to buff off the paint.
looks awsome
Thanks man.
How would u compare 3D to menzerna 3 in 1
I found them to be very similar.
If you dont mind me asking how much was a job like this?
Our paint enhancements start at $500
Have you done any videos w 3D One? Curious on the differences between the 2
Yes I have a few coming out soon!😎
Speed has 10% cutting abrasives, 20% polishing abrasives, and 70% protective ingredients (sealant, and montan wax).
One seems to be right in the middle of cut and finish, and has zero protective elements in the formula. No waxes, sealants, etc.
@@danlc95 thank you
Thanks for the video. What is your technique for doing the door frames?
Hi. Basically it’s very simple. Just spray apc or degreaser and blast out with the pressure washer. Then go back in and wipe down. If it needs more attention I’ll go in with a brush, cleaner and maybe even steam and clean it up more. Then spray a sealant and rubber boots with a dressing and good to go.
@@MirandaDetailing Thank you. I was referring to polishing the areas between the top of the windows and the roof.
Oh sorry. Depending on how much space there is, either my usual polisher or I’ll grab my 3 inch polisher and polish those areas.
@@MirandaDetailing Oh okay. Yeah I was worried about having something small enough to do those areas. I have a 3.5" backing plate for my main polisher with 4" pads. Do you think its worth getting something smaller? Thanks
@@MirandaDetailing Im brand new to polishing
How long can you expect this to last? A customer of mine wants a paint enhancement and protection for several months (through the winter) should I top off with a wax? Will it even hold?
3Dspeed’s protection lasts about 1-2 months or so. I would top it with a stronger sealant.
@@MirandaDetailing sealant or wax? I was thinking on topping off with Superior product liquid pearl
It doesn’t matter. Which ever you like that you have found to last.
@@MirandaDetailing 👌🏽 thanks
@@MirandaDetailing one last question lol can you put Carnuba on top of montan wax?
Does 3D One stain trim?
I haven’t found it to stain trim, at least not for me.
What pad are you using it for 3D speed?
Orange lake country 5.5 inch pads.
Miranda Detailing Really appreciate that, Thank you.
does anyone tells you that u look like Woody in Toy Story?
you even sound like him, i mean Tom Hanks
Either woody or buzz. All the time. 🤣😎👍🏼
Great work, so you went with a foam cutting pad and 3D?
Thanks. Yes. Orange lake country 5.5 inch pad and 3D speed
Hey Phil. I’m going to da polish my 2017 fire bronze truck soon. Paint is in good shape..I’m using 3D speed. How much pressure should I apply? Don’t wanna harm anything..I know it’s kind of a iffy question..thanks guys.
Hi! You can apply very little pressure, enough to keep the polisher flat and stable. You can also go a little slower to get the pad and polish to engage more and get better results. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing I bought that maxshine da polisher that you have. You said slower..how about speed wise. 1-6?
@@joelane4670 I would go with speed 5/6.
@@MirandaDetailing hi phil. That gen prep spray. Should that be used before or after using 3 d speed or other waxes? Thanks guys!
I think I watch too many videos, somehow I get lost..lol
Is this better than Autofenatic Secret Weapon???????
Sorry I don't know what that means
What type of degreaser did you use in the pre-wash stage? Which seems like you degreased the entire vehicle with. If so at what dilution ratio?
It’s superclean 1:4. We use it as a pre wash or APC rinse. It works great.
@@MirandaDetailing great to know I've been looking for a safe pre-wash degreaser to use on any paint that would help with the cleaning process.
Also 3D Super Citrus APC is awesome
Great job man … I use angelwax AIO superb stuff great one step product
Thanks! I haven’t tried that yet.
🔥🔥
How long did it take?
Hi. Because of filming it always takes longer. But on average about 4 hours or so.
@@MirandaDetailing thank u !
You have to choose the pad and it will change the amount of correction you want.
True. I live using the orange lake country pads. They have the perfect amount of cut while still finishing perfectly when using Speed. 😎👍🏼
I never see u use a rortory why is that 🤔
Well...absolutely no need for me to use one. My Rupes and Porter Cable DA are all I need.
how often did you clean the pad?
I would blow it out after every section I polished,
@@MirandaDetailing with compressed air? Whats the next best option if you dont have that?
@@Dee--Jay Yes with compressed air....the next best thing would be a brush like these. bit.ly/3j8abzh or amzn.to/345c6QE
@@MirandaDetailing ok great. Thank you
dont you have to clean it with apc after every panel? @@MirandaDetailing
Hey The same guy who made my logo made yours too
What do mean? I didn’t have anyone make mine. I just made it myself 10 years ago. I didn’t use a basic car shape for the top but that’s about it. I know so many Detailers use that car style logo, but it works! 😎👍🏼
Miranda Detailing really ?? Well my fault. Literally I seen that exact logo on the FIVERR app maybe a coincidence or maybe something you need to check out lol
how long do you let superclean 4:1 dwell for?
Hi. Only about 30 seconds or so.

@MirandaDetailing do you have more vids on how to use superclean on paint?
Hi. Not specifically, but in almost all of our vids we are using super clean in the IK foamer for our pre wash diluted 1:10. We use it all the time.
@@MirandaDetailing I thot you use it 1:4?
@BrandonBuilds-pf1hz you can. But then I tested different dilutions and found 1:10 works just as well and saves on product.
What was your polishers speed most of the time?
Hi. Mostly 5/6. I run at high speeds pretty much all the time.
@@MirandaDetailing my first time lol
You act like you are a man but you aren’t a man I’m confused
Huh?
if you can get straight to the point of the video don't talk too much
Good tip. I’ll try to do that. Do you prefer voiceover explaining the process instead? Becasue sometimes that can be much easier for me. I do tend to ramble on. But I also try to answer questions and explain things. What do you think?
Haha. I know right. I wish I could kindly suggest something back to them, or make some joke of it but people either take it the wrong way or get nasty. Whatever. I may start a new series called “stupid comment of the week” and have some fun with these silly or stupid comments.
No.
