Poorboys is fantastic for going over with a DA and black pad for a lovely deep shine it is superb on darker coloured cars especially pre show to hide the odd fine blemish
Cant beat Autobrite Cherry Glaze. Been around for ages, easy to use, amazing finish and doesn't leave any white marks on plastic trims. Clean, polish, wax in one. Bang on.
cherry glaze did not fill well when I tested it in the best glaze video. It was almost like a glossy liquid wax but yes very poor filling capabiltiy I even said I suspected faulty batch.
@@ForensicDetailing yeah maybe. Its been amazing for me for years. They have brilliance which is designed to fill more but I hardly use it as its harder to work with. They also have chocolate glaze too now and cherry glaze v2 but I've not tried these. Used to use dodo need for speed years ago too, old skool!
Thanks again for some more great information. For a few years I have have been a fan of Cleanser Polish for quick clean ups of friends cars and what not. More recently I have been very impressed by the filling and gloss provided by CarPro Essence Plus which is the same principle I think as that Britemax product and maybe the TAC too. The versatility of being able to put any kind of protection on top of it is really useful. They can also act to fill and rejuvenate a ceramic coating if they are swirled or damaged. Very cool.
I was waiting for you to work out why BH use that lid! I’ve had Cleanser Polish for 10 years. I don’t use AIO’s that often as I use pure abrasive most of the time but when I do Cleanser Polish is my go to. I used to use it under one of their paste waxes and the results were stunning. In fact I posted a short crappy video of the results and BH nicked for their channel without contacting me!
I bought Britemax Black Max after what you said about it in a review a year ago or more. It's INSANE mate. Filling and finish was WAY better than Supernova and Black Hole.
Love bilt hamber cleanser polish, had it for years now, can put any sealant or wax on top. Because it's thin john, just stick a spray head on the bottle, thats what i have done and works well. The other polish i have funny enough is britemax virtue and again have kept it due to it being an sio2 version. Angelwax perfect polish is very good aswell.
Love the poor boys black hole, non abrasive so can be used as often as you want without removing clear coat, And I’ve used it on burning hot black paint with no problems whatsoever 👍
I have Black and the White Hole glaze from Poor Boys. I do like the product but don't use it often. I would use this before a wax, and I just don't use waxes anymore. It really isn't intended as a polish, it doesn't have the abrasives. It does leave a nice slick surface.
Do Bilt Hamber make any bad products?? IMO they're pretty much all you need for any task, very competitively priced too 👍. Interesting test, thanks, never heard of anyone else testing like this 👍.
Great video as always John, polish my mates black 2003 clio 172 yesterday by hand with super resin polish, followed by a wax, it hasn't come up perfect as it was swirl city. But its really improved it and the gloss is much better! Going to give it a machine polish when places have them back in stock!
I'm in the same boat, about to do a hand polish with AG SRP before I take the plunge and get a DA polisher to attempt my first ever machine polish. Glad you got a good result, it gives me hope!
I can highly recommend the BH Auto Balm if you're looking to get rid of those swirls - it fills really well. It's also good to seal those chrome pipes too. ;)
Big hitter left out there, Zain’s AIO. John, I know I asked years ago but can we get a full brand review for Zaino please? Or their biggest products anyway?
Quick question,rather a long one :-) I don't have a DA polisher so the only way I can do polishing is by hand. The Vehicle was ceramic coated 2 years back and has been maintained to the best of my ability But again swirls are inevitable and the vehicle has swirls(Not too many but yes the ones which you can get with regular washing and maintenance). The paint overall looks pretty good and no fading or other major issues. The vehicle is white in color. I want your suggestion as to which product/polish should I use to achieve this (Remove Swirl marks on the paint on a regular basis like maybe once a year) and then apply some coating. Unfortunately in India, the only prominent brands are Turtle Wax, Carpro, Gyeon, Menrenza, Meguiars, and few others but again not a whole lot of options like in the US or UK. Now I understand that polishing by hand is not going to remove all the swirls which are Ok with me. Even if I can remove 80% of the swirls/marks I will be a happy man since that is my pain point. Additionally will using that product remove the ceramic coating? Kindly suggest a product for my requirement. Thanks in advance
As Chris Eubank once said SIMPLY THE BEST thanks for taking the time you take to make all your vids :) I have learnt a lot from you and also a good laugh on the way
I decant BH into a little clear plastic pump bottle before each use - the travel bottle sets you get in cheap shops (should be in stock as nobody's going on holiday...). Always a bit runny even when shaken well but great results :-)
great test John , same my test in the same category few months ago I used Flex cordless too my fav is Supernatural Micro Prime , 3D SPEED , Menzerna 2in1 PPU and Zymol Cleaner wax . For gloss and wettness without abrasive is Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite .
I like meguiar's 3 in 1 wax, an excellent aio with real correction power (not just a fillers). In addition to having a beautiful water-repellent effect! For a simple aio I find it nice Like aio I also like to use meguiar's color x with a double action it works very well. Regarding meguiar's cleaner wax, I don't understand, some say that it can only be used by hand, and others say that it can be used with a dual action?!. Just like the 3 steps deep-crystal meguiar's apparently for use by hand, and others say the double action. Do you know more about it please? Thank you
Great video Jon - as always! 😊 I haven’t used the BH - yet, but it’s on my wishlist and I’ll try all of their products asap. 😊 I really like the Sonax Xtreme Polish & Wax 2 and 3, especially if they’re followed up by the Sonax Xtreme Protect & Shine Hybrid NPT; that’s a very good combo for me, that’s what I use on my own car. Would be nice to see a comparison! 😊
Hey Jon just found your channel last evening and really helped with a few purchases I did today for detailing. Thanks a bunch. I’m currently using poor boys (light colour option as I have a silver car) but I love their results. I usually with soft 99 after and have been getting very good results. Can u put a link for your hand polisher u were using.
Jon, I have a new white model 3. It's a lease car and I've sold my DA due to not using it. Given it has new, white paint and that I'm not aiming for competition flawless paint, would you recommend BH cleanser polish as sort of a 'stronger' pre wax cleanser? I'm thinking that if i'm going over the paint with a pre wax cleanser by hand, I might as well use something that's going to hide/correct the light swirls that are inevitable regardless of how care one washes their car. I'm thinking that the next time I decontaminate the car to reapply the wax, I might clay it with some BH fine clay, the softest one. Now, given I no longer own a DA, will BH cleanser polish by hand be sufficient to fix/hide the clay 'damage'? I should add that my LSP is BH DSW, and I've no real plans of going for ceramic coating given I'll be handing the car back in 3 years.
Agreed. Recently bought a bottle of Autoglym Super Resin Polish, did my whole car, the gloss, clarity was amazing on a silver car. It also acted like a clay bar, getting rid of tiny black/dirt marks I didn't see, but I suppose polishers are meant do that anyway. It is mild abrasive, which I like. Also bought Autoglym Glass Polish for £6.40. That also did a great job, so tried it on my house windows. Stood back and thought someone had stolen my windows. Tried it on house tiles, came out sparkling as new. Really impressed with this product as well. There must be about 40 plus polishers out there, this is about the only way, anyone can test these products, even if it is 6 at a time. Jon does a great job of being analytical and results orientated. Using brightness/clarity, ease of use/price, performance, durability and a few other factors. Certainly helps me decide which product is the one for one. Loving those cordless polishers.
Evening John. What product(s) polish would you recommend prior to applying a sealant. I seen you do one, dodo juice. Any others you’d recommend. Ty. Was looking at the m&k pure. Need something for hand applying for now that’ll rejuvenate the paintwork slightly. Like super resin polish but without the wax.
Very interesting video Jon 👍 As before for me, I have Britemax Virtue, BH Cleanser Polish & more recently trying an AIO from an American company called Killerwaxx. Product is called Love Potion & I've been pretty impressed with the quite turn around I've managed with this via hand. Have a review on DW to come on it. I keep all 3 with Virtue being used when I intend to put any Si02 type spray coating down on the car. The others 2 I use when I only intend to use a wax based product. I've tried simplifying my products used but finding it difficult haha, good luck!
Honestly, I’d really only use these as recommendations for people that don’t want to polish and like using liquid waxes. Also, it takes care of oxidation and not much more for me
Just a quick question how come you never use any 3M or farcela products I watch all your videos and see your a very good retailer but I me a senior technician paint refinisher just curious let me no if you get time Alex.B
I recently used TW hybrid ceramic polish and wax, applied by hand, then applied TW hybrid ceramic spray wax 24hrs later. Honda 10 yrs old, had a few swirls, they seem only a bit fainter, I didn't spend hrs polishing. Very pleased with gloss. Pleased with result. I suspect BH Cleanser Polish + DSW would have looked better in terms of filling swirls, but I wanted extra long longevity, TW promise 12 mth protection and TW hybrid ceramic spray wax is quick and easy to apply regarding future washes to top up protection.
I have just been sent a sample of the scholl concepts W6+ wow the finish is so slick tested on ( ibis white ) so could not comment on how well it fills
hi i have das 6 da and it came with Menzerna Heavy Cut Pad 1 x Menzerna Soft Cut Finishing Pad, now i have only used these pads about 5 times and the backing is breaking off onto the machines velcro plate, leaving no backing on half the pad and fluff stuck all over the velcro. any advise as to what im doing or if these pads are just bad
Ok Dave my Skoda Octavia is in immaculate condition but it needs to be ready for the winter so bilt-hamber very fine clay and I now watching your video using the bilt hamber cleaner Polish or is it Polish clean apply by hand or should I use a da probably do it by hand oh by the way going to be using a fallout remover just realise it is by bilt-hamber after using their Polish and cleaner should I use an IPA the last process of the whole deal would be to use sonax polymer net shield to give me six months over the winter period maybe a bit of ta remover with the Fallout remover but as I said before the bodywork is in showroom condition but just wanted to rip off any crap that I can't see after cleaning it do I need to IPA the whole car after using built Amber as usual Dave thanks for Educating us
Morning, enjoyed the vid. Have you ever tested liquid waxes? Or regular carnuba waxes v these hybrid/ceramic waxes? I know the scene is heading toward si02s, ceramics and maybe even graphene but I love a good carnuba wax
would be interesting to see what would happen if you put a coat of the same protection on all of these channels to see if there is any difference in the performance of the protection over time.
Hey mate love your videos and as a result have spent over 500 to get all the bits to keep my car pristine, Have a question a pipe leak that was constanly spitting salty water for last 2-2 weeks has caused stubborn oxidation on half my bonnet a headlight kidney grill and bumper , have tried iron fallout, tar remover and adams apc but no results what would you recommend for different surface especially the BMW grill I am thinking compound/claybar? Thanks !!
Jon, is that a 3 inch pad you're running on the flex PE? How does it run with that larger pad, do you tend to notice it struggles a little versus the smaller pads? I'm looking for a new 3 inch machine and I'm considering this cordless unit.
Hello very appreciating work you are doing . Sir after i seen this video my request is please upload best sealant and vex for black car . In my country is very dusty so please do recomend what is best product on your view .
dont fall into the black car trap. honestly the color has no bearing. The basic rules apply Wash/Decon/Polish/Protect and the order of importance goes from left to right. its more important to simply wash it regularly to keep it looking good. but the condition of the clearcoat is the important thing not the wax you use.
Hi jon, just a quick one, have you ever had any experience with any of the chipex products that seem to accumilate their adds on FB? People say its quite good, maybe a review would be good if you could do one 😊
Would you use the Bilt Hamber - Cleanser Polish polishing by hand without a buffer, or would you recommend a different one for hand polishing? using the BB auto wash and once a month the BB touch on.
if you want more cut by hand the nanolex product which won the PVD hand polish test was insanes sorry I dont have the product name and I cant find it with google but it was great polish and seal in one. the BH is a milder abrasive with resin fillers which will also do a good job by hand.
Is the meguiars 3 in 1 very aggressive on the clear? I like the idea of an all in one product and I would be curious to try it. The car is 12 years old but is in very good condition, it has only a few light swirls due to incorrect washing, nothing serious. The meguiars contains abrasives and I would not want to do any damage using it by hand being the first time I polish the car. Alternatively I noticed Liqui Moly 1467 which is a famous German brand. I am curious about Liqui Moly products, it should be a light polish very similar to Meguiars but at a lower price. Do you have experiences with Liqui Moly bodywork products?
Hi, loving your videos, just wondering what you would suggest best polish for 2010 black nissan GT-R, heard it's very soft paint and have to be careful when polishing?
hey matt these are all glazes with fillers great for use by hand.. so you want to machine polish it to perminently restore the paintwork rather than fill it. have a watch of this videos. but pick soft finishing pads and the softing finishing polish shown in the video..

Hi jon have you tried the valeting products uk range I've got some of their stuff and think it's quite decent would love to see it compared to other brands
Hey Jon, I live in an apartment right now there is no way to use my buffer. I'm about to apply an Iron remover then clay bar the car. Any polish you recommend for hand use? It's a question a lot of people can't answer because I'm the only idiot trying to polish a car by hand lol. The paint is in great shape. I'm just trying to remove very very light swirls and anything caused by the clay bar. Thanks
somewhere hidden in this video I talked about SRP.. I have the old formula still I will grab some in halfords and go again with different products Id like to see AG and Tac and actually the Turtlwax ceramic polish one in a similar informal test. stay safe guys, hope to catch up after covid-19 goes.
@@ForensicDetailing It's ok, we've just been looking for an excuse to use a Waynes World reference for a while, this seemed to fit the bill. Stay safe too
after polishing you should degrease if its a pure abrasive, or just wipe down if its an AIO, then apply a compatable sealant over the top. so autoglym first then sonax detail spray on top is best.
@@ForensicDetailing brilliant, im going to be using the turtle wax one and done you reviewed a couple of days ago. It looks good so cant wait to try it! I will degrease before applying my sealant and then my detail spray. Thanks!
Top video 👍 Maguiars got ditched for price but Britemax is the most expensive there - it’s the best there IMO. Good correction, nice to use and buff and offers the most protection out of the line up. Also compatible with ceramic so win win - i have it under Moonlight and it’s an ace combo for sure. Applying a hand polish by machine seems odd ?
I royally screwed my paint work using a rotary polisher and Chemical Guys V36 having never used any polisher and should bought a DA (V36 was great it was the users fault) I’ve been lucky enough to get the trails and holograms out by hand using Autoglym SRP took a while and being disabled it nearly killed me! So that was a hard lesson to learn ...when I can afford I will be getting a DA. Can you help with what I should buy and I can’t afford a lot...thanks in advance Jon
With a rotary, you do need to step the pad and polish down and do multiple stages. If you still want a DA, MaxShine 15 Pro is rated very high with a low price. You could go with a Flex or Rupes, but will pay about double compared to MaxShine.
Hi Doug thanks for the reply, I struggle with the physical side of this so the trails and holograms I think was too much pressure and also lack of energy on my part, so far I have clay barred the car from the front to the main pillar (roof not done yet) screwed up the bonnet and front redone by hand which I think has removed the mistakes. Got a fairly good process for washing the car and prep for the clay, polish etc. No idea if I’m doing it right but it looks better than when I bought the car. I’ll look at the DA you mentioned as well.....thanks again mate and keep safe and well
@@tonylyons1274 I thought this video was going to be about hand polishes applied by hand! I've found GTechniq P1 to be good for spot corrections by hand, but Ultimate Compound is also supposed to be good and is better value.
Hi John how things I was told by the lads in my work about a wax it is called big white finishkare 1000p hi-temp sealant do u no any thing about it is it any good and can u tell me is their any abrasive in it I'm using autofinesse wax but it has very poor water bleeding and it very dear so I would get big white if u think it is worth buying and has no abrasive in it thanks john
Maybe I can't count, but didn't the second one get 7 passes? OK - just watched a bit more of the video and realised that Jon, by his own admission, can't count :-)
Good, it's not just me 🤣 I think we're all losing it at the minute... I'm going to have the paint polished off my car soon, never mind the clear coat 🤣🤣
Intersting mix of products. I find BHCP a well product as a pre-wax cleaner with insane filling capabilites. Not sure if there is any polishing action. Actually I applied bhcp today on feew panels :)
Maybe a silly question but anyone know if the bilt hamber is best used by hand or can you get just as good(or better ) results used like a final stage polish using a machine polisher ?
you will get better "correction" from the abrasives in it if you work it by machine... but the resins in it or the function of those resins works more or less the same by hand. I like to use a machine and a nice soft pad.
@@ForensicDetailing much appreciated 👍🏻was thinking a finishing pad at a slightly slower speed , new to channel but loving the in-depth information , cheers for your work 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I need to just be this way wen it comes to getting out the swirl marks on my car.just go right at it,instead of being to scared and getting ready to pay my mate £200 to do it,would love that feeling to do it my self,but used Meguiar’s ultimate compound on my bonnet wen i first got my DA and it didn’t get rid of the light swerl marks,so it put me of doing it,thinking I’m gonna either go through the clear coat or something,practice on a bonnet a mate gave me and now used menzerna 400 and that for sure worked,using Meguiar’s red cutting pad
you wont go through the clear with a DA tony. you would need to buff on it for like hours.. remember as well a good DAT abrasive will taper off the cut.. Go at that paintwork full throttle my friend you will be fine on a DA honestly.
Poorboys is fantastic for going over with a DA and black pad for a lovely deep shine it is superb on darker coloured cars especially pre show to hide the odd fine blemish
Actually that BH was the first proper detailing product I purchased in 2011. Good to see that its still going strong.
I use the tops from old washing up bottles for bottles that don't have a good dispensing cap.
Cant beat Autobrite Cherry Glaze. Been around for ages, easy to use, amazing finish and doesn't leave any white marks on plastic trims. Clean, polish, wax in one. Bang on.
Ryan David I used brilliance from AD wasn’t very impressed with the filling capability’s

Love these live videos, you have a great sense of humor. Been watching you for so long it feels like I know you haha. Great vid too, keep it up!

And I’ve used it on burning hot black paint with no problems whatsoever 👍
Charlie 400 How long can you make it last?
I have black hole....to use by hand....worth it???? Or SRP??
I have Black and the White Hole glaze from Poor Boys. I do like the product but don't use it often. I would use this before a wax, and I just don't use waxes anymore. It really isn't intended as a polish, it doesn't have the abrasives. It does leave a nice slick surface.
Agree black hole for the win especially on my black car
I love the smell of Poorboys stuff. Black hole is great under Natty's on a dark car
I haven't watched 1 minute yet, but I bet the Bilt Hamber comes close to top!
This has been one of your complex comparisons; What a difficult clear winner 😌
Do Bilt Hamber make any bad products?? IMO they're pretty much all you need for any task, very competitively priced too 👍. Interesting test, thanks, never heard of anyone else testing like this 👍.
I prefer the Bilt Hamber, I think it certainly appears to have produced the best result out of all the products used here.
I just knew you were gonna pick BH.
I use Scholl S2, love the stuff and gives a nice finish also, anyone else tried it?
John have a look in that bag of odds and sods again . The cleanser polish comes with a spray head fyi
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the reviews you do. Keep up the good work.

Very interesting video Jon 👍
As before for me, I have Britemax Virtue, BH Cleanser Polish & more recently trying an AIO from an American company called Killerwaxx. Product is called Love Potion & I've been pretty impressed with the quite turn around I've managed with this via hand. Have a review on DW to come on it.
I keep all 3 with Virtue being used when I intend to put any Si02 type spray coating down on the car. The others 2 I use when I only intend to use a wax based product. I've tried simplifying my products used but finding it difficult haha, good luck!
Honestly, I’d really only use these as recommendations for people that don’t want to polish and like using liquid waxes. Also, it takes care of oxidation and not much more for me
Just a quick question how come you never use any 3M or farcela products I watch all your videos and see your a very good retailer but I me a senior technician paint refinisher just curious let me no if you get time Alex.B
Detailer didn't proof read before my us UK spell check kicked in
I recently used TW hybrid ceramic polish and wax, applied by hand, then applied TW hybrid ceramic spray wax 24hrs later. Honda 10 yrs old, had a few swirls, they seem only a bit fainter, I didn't spend hrs polishing. Very pleased with gloss. Pleased with result. I suspect BH Cleanser Polish + DSW would have looked better in terms of filling swirls, but I wanted extra long longevity, TW promise 12 mth protection and TW hybrid ceramic spray wax is quick and easy to apply regarding future washes to top up protection.
Great and useful information in this video. Going to save me time and money! Thank you M8
I have just been sent a sample of the scholl concepts W6+ wow the finish is so slick tested on ( ibis white ) so could not comment on how well it fills
Hi john, you could use a pump top they use on hand soaps for the bilt hamber bottle
hi i have das 6 da and it came with Menzerna Heavy Cut Pad
1 x Menzerna Soft Cut Finishing Pad, now i have only used these pads about 5 times and the backing is breaking off onto the machines velcro plate, leaving no backing on half the pad and fluff stuck all over the velcro.
any advise as to what im doing or if these pads are just bad
2nd product Deffo got 7 passes haha 🤣 love the vids John!
Haha I noticed that also
Ok Dave my Skoda Octavia is in immaculate condition but it needs to be ready for the winter so bilt-hamber very fine clay and I now watching your video using the bilt hamber cleaner Polish or is it Polish clean apply by hand or should I use a da probably do it by hand oh by the way going to be using a fallout remover just realise it is by bilt-hamber after using their Polish and cleaner should I use an IPA the last process of the whole deal would be to use sonax polymer net shield to give me six months over the winter period maybe a bit of ta remover with the Fallout remover but as I said before the bodywork is in showroom condition but just wanted to rip off any crap that I can't see after cleaning it do I need to IPA the whole car after using built Amber as usual Dave thanks for Educating us
Kochchemie have a new allround cut and finish I've just got it .....works well with machine..it's P601 you must try it!
See best aio video 😉
The Megs looked like it had more gloss... Was that the case or just the light John?
Morning, enjoyed the vid. Have you ever tested liquid waxes? Or regular carnuba waxes v these hybrid/ceramic waxes? I know the scene is heading toward si02s, ceramics and maybe even graphene but I love a good carnuba wax
im a HUGE fan of Britemax Virtue Silica
Hi Jon, which do you prefer; BH Cleanser or AF Tripple?
would be interesting to see what would happen if you put a coat of the same protection on all of these channels to see if there is any difference in the performance of the protection over time.
Hey mate love your videos and as a result have spent over 500 to get all the bits to keep my car pristine,
Have a question a pipe leak that was constanly spitting salty water for last 2-2 weeks has caused stubborn oxidation on half my bonnet a headlight kidney grill and bumper , have tried iron fallout, tar remover and adams apc but no results what would you recommend for different surface especially the BMW grill I am thinking compound/claybar? Thanks !!
17:16 when you realise youve innuendo'd yourself.. and choose to move on before it gets silly haha
Jon, is that a 3 inch pad you're running on the flex PE? How does it run with that larger pad, do you tend to notice it struggles a little versus the smaller pads? I'm looking for a new 3 inch machine and I'm considering this cordless unit.
jonathan taylor It did perform well and the price of the product is a lot cheaper
Hello very appreciating work you are doing .
Sir after i seen this video my request is please upload best sealant and vex for black car .
In my country is very dusty so please do recomend what is best product on your view .
dont fall into the black car trap. honestly the color has no bearing. The basic rules apply Wash/Decon/Polish/Protect and the order of importance goes from left to right. its more important to simply wash it regularly to keep it looking good. but the condition of the clearcoat is the important thing not the wax you use.
Hi Jon, what's the model number of the flex, doesn't look too heavy and what pad size will fit. All the best.
Hi jon, just a quick one, have you ever had any experience with any of the chipex products that seem to accumilate their adds on FB? People say its quite good, maybe a review would be good if you could do one 😊
BH everytime..
Looking for a good tar remover. Was thinking about getting Tardis. Would you recommend?
Would you use the Bilt Hamber - Cleanser Polish polishing by hand without a buffer, or would you recommend a different one for hand polishing? using the BB auto wash and once a month the BB touch on.
if you want more cut by hand the nanolex product which won the PVD hand polish test was insanes sorry I dont have the product name and I cant find it with google but it was great polish and seal in one. the BH is a milder abrasive with resin fillers which will also do a good job by hand.
You may have mentioned it and I just didn't hear it. But I thought Poorboys Blackhole was more of a Glaze with a lot of fillers rather than a polish?
Is the meguiars 3 in 1 very aggressive on the clear? I like the idea of an all in one product and I would be curious to try it. The car is 12 years old but is in very good condition, it has only a few light swirls due to incorrect washing, nothing serious. The meguiars contains abrasives and I would not want to do any damage using it by hand being the first time I polish the car. Alternatively I noticed Liqui Moly 1467 which is a famous German brand.
I am curious about Liqui Moly products, it should be a light polish very similar to Meguiars but at a lower price. Do you have experiences with Liqui Moly bodywork products?
No
@@ForensicDetailing thanks for the thorough reply 😄
Just found your channel, loving your stuff.
welcome steve thank you
Hi, loving your videos, just wondering what you would suggest best polish for 2010 black nissan GT-R, heard it's very soft paint and have to be careful when polishing?
hey matt these are all glazes with fillers great for use by hand.. so you want to machine polish it to perminently restore the paintwork rather than fill it. have a watch of this videos. but pick soft finishing pads and the softing finishing polish shown in the video..

John,where about”s in the UK are you from ? Do you detail peoples cars for a living or a side job ?
Any opinion on CarPro essence?
Hi jon have you tried the valeting products uk range I've got some of their stuff and think it's quite decent would love to see it compared to other brands
Wouldn’t paint
cleansers or pre-wax cleaners fit this topic since they remove some imperfections ?
Jon, AutoGeek finally stopped doing the 50% off the Britemax products! hehe
😑
Hey Jon, I live in an apartment right now there is no way to use my buffer. I'm about to apply an Iron remover then clay bar the car. Any polish you recommend for hand use? It's a question a lot of people can't answer because I'm the only idiot trying to polish a car by hand lol. The paint is in great shape. I'm just trying to remove very very light swirls and anything caused by the clay bar. Thanks
The adams one is decent for that m8
1 more thing to discus sir if we make cocktail some good waxes 2 or 3 and mix and apply what is output after that .
Kindly make 1 video on it
No SRP? Denied!
somewhere hidden in this video I talked about SRP.. I have the old formula still I will grab some in halfords and go again with different products Id like to see AG and Tac and actually the Turtlwax ceramic polish one in a similar informal test. stay safe guys, hope to catch up after covid-19 goes.
@@ForensicDetailing It's ok, we've just been looking for an excuse to use a Waynes World reference for a while, this seemed to fit the bill. Stay safe too
I have autoglym sealant and sonax detailing spray after I've polished can I apply both and in which order should I apply them? Thanks!
after polishing you should degrease if its a pure abrasive, or just wipe down if its an AIO, then apply a compatable sealant over the top. so autoglym first then sonax detail spray on top is best.
@@ForensicDetailing brilliant, im going to be using the turtle wax one and done you reviewed a couple of days ago. It looks good so cant wait to try it! I will degrease before applying my sealant and then my detail spray. Thanks!
Top video 👍 Maguiars got ditched for price but Britemax is the most expensive there - it’s the best there IMO. Good correction, nice to use and buff and offers the most protection out of the line up. Also compatible with ceramic so win win - i have it under Moonlight and it’s an ace combo for sure. Applying a hand polish by machine seems odd ?
Also, I’ve found that megs is really hydrophobic. I use it on our grill
Do you think it has a better flavor than A1 steak sauce?
SpiritZer00 the polishing agents add to the seasoning. lol. Jk. I use it on the outside cover
Oh gee.... what a surprise, he picked BH in first place yet again!
I royally screwed my paint work using a rotary polisher and Chemical Guys V36 having never used any polisher and should bought a DA (V36 was great it was the users fault) I’ve been lucky enough to get the trails and holograms out by hand using Autoglym SRP took a while and being disabled it nearly killed me! So that was a hard lesson to learn ...when I can afford I will be getting a DA. Can you help with what I should buy and I can’t afford a lot...thanks in advance Jon
With a rotary, you do need to step the pad and polish down and do multiple stages. If you still want a DA, MaxShine 15 Pro is rated very high with a low price. You could go with a Flex or Rupes, but will pay about double compared to MaxShine.
Hi Doug thanks for the reply, I struggle with the physical side of this so the trails and holograms I think was too much pressure and also lack of energy on my part, so far I have clay barred the car from the front to the main pillar (roof not done yet) screwed up the bonnet and front redone by hand which I think has removed the mistakes. Got a fairly good process for washing the car and prep for the clay, polish etc. No idea if I’m doing it right but it looks better than when I bought the car. I’ll look at the DA you mentioned as well.....thanks again mate and keep safe and well
ive been banging on about Britemax virtue on patreon for a few months lol , very excited to see what you think of it
Really interesting, thank you.
No GTechniq P1 or Meguiars Ultimate Compound?
Giles Weaver i was hopping for Meguiar ultimate compound to
@@tonylyons1274 I thought this video was going to be about hand polishes applied by hand! I've found GTechniq P1 to be good for spot corrections by hand, but Ultimate Compound is also supposed to be good and is better value.
Like what you did there John at 25:25 the amount of scratches goes through the roof 🤣
Hi John how things I was told by the lads in my work about a wax it is called big white finishkare 1000p hi-temp sealant do u no any thing about it is it any good and can u tell me is their any abrasive in it I'm using autofinesse wax but it has very poor water bleeding and it very dear so I would get big white if u think it is worth buying and has no abrasive in it thanks john
gerard anderson I’ve used this for years lasts about 3 months easy to apply
Your one of the best 👍🇨🇦
Maybe I can't count, but didn't the second one get 7 passes? OK - just watched a bit more of the video and realised that Jon, by his own admission, can't count :-)
Why don’t you guys use NuFinish as a control. It’s easy to use. It’s cheap. It’s a cleaner polish/wax. Last a long time
Would you say BH cleanser polish is better than ag SRP?
Pritesh Patel yes
@@LSD04 balls, I bought srp last week
Pritesh Patel SRP is still good stuff though.
I'm actually crying... 17:45 I was saying ah ah after every number out loud and then you said ah ah on 3 😂😂 I'm losing it...
Good, it's not just me 🤣 I think we're all losing it at the minute... I'm going to have the paint polished off my car soon, never mind the clear coat 🤣🤣
Intersting mix of products. I find BHCP a well product as a pre-wax cleaner with insane filling capabilites. Not sure if there is any polishing action.
Actually I applied bhcp today on feew panels :)
Maybe a silly question but anyone know if the bilt hamber is best used by hand or can you get just as good(or better ) results used like a final stage polish using a machine polisher ?
you will get better "correction" from the abrasives in it if you work it by machine... but the resins in it or the function of those resins works more or less the same by hand. I like to use a machine and a nice soft pad.
@@ForensicDetailing much appreciated 👍🏻was thinking a finishing pad at a slightly slower speed , new to channel but loving the in-depth information , cheers for your work 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I need to just be this way wen it comes to getting out the swirl marks on my car.just go right at it,instead of being to scared and getting ready to pay my mate £200 to do it,would love that feeling to do it my self,but used Meguiar’s ultimate compound on my bonnet wen i first got my DA and it didn’t get rid of the light swerl marks,so it put me of doing it,thinking I’m gonna either go through the clear coat or something,practice on a bonnet a mate gave me and now used menzerna 400 and that for sure worked,using Meguiar’s red cutting pad
you wont go through the clear with a DA tony. you would need to buff on it for like hours.. remember as well a good DAT abrasive will taper off the cut.. Go at that paintwork full throttle my friend you will be fine on a DA honestly.
