- In this video, I will show what different combo Pad/Polish can be used for what task. I am often asked what pad and compound or polish is best for a certain task. Hopefully this video takes the guess work out of the decision.

As always your videos are fantastic buddy
That was very helpful, Brian! As someone's who's just an enthusiast who does mine, my family's, and my friends' vehicles, I don't really want a whole shelf full of pad, compounds, and polishes. This really helps me to simplify things in my mind as I start trying to do more of this. Very much appreciated! 👍
Now that’s a great informative video sir. I love these types of videos, they really help me make good decisions in my detail shop. What I like the most is how honest you are. You have your own products to sell and use but you still show us how to get there with other products.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge once again!
Thanks Brian.
Thanks again Brian
Those combos worked very well!
Very informative!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea on customization of products, never thought about that
One of the hardest things for me when I started was figure out what pad to use/order
Brian as always very informative thanks 😊
I like your short list of pads and products for the paint.
fantastic thank you and excellent bloopers too😁😁😁
Thank you!
The urofiber 50/50 is my favourite used with Koch Chemie or Scholl Concepts one steps. Thanks for the video 👍🏼
Ha Ha it’s weard, I’m a weekend warrior and last weekend I did a gray F150 with lots of horizontal lines/scraches. In time I start, I was thinking about asking you Brian to show us much examples of kind of pads to use with compound in different situations and you just did it. Thanks for that ! BTW, I use LC hybrid whool pad with rotaty when need, Uro 50/50 pad or MF pad with Xtrem Solution compound. I also used Sonax compound and sometimes gloss pad from Carpro for finishes.
I really appreciate this video and a lot of my pad choices seem to mirror yours. Then again you really taught a lot of us the beauty of the buff and shine pad. For heavy work I have trouble with H9 slinging at first which makes me pick up 3D instead. I really enjoy the Phoenix EOD compounds and polishes along with Koch Chemie. The Rupes pads are one of my favorites along with Lake Country. Thank you for the video.
An excellent video, Brian. Very informative. Thanks for taking the time. 😎👍
3D One and Scholl S20 Black are my favorite 1 step compounds. Thanks for the video.
Great Refresher Course ;-) like You said, rarely use compounds except for spots or old single stage paint. love the Lambwool
I usually have good success with the lake country orange pad and the one and done… but like you said experiment. Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks very much Brian! Super informative and some really useful tips too! Much appreciated! 👍
Thanks for the information 👍. Keep up the great work.
I rely respect ur experience sir ,like I said u are a truly a mentor to be followed. u are the boss ,u are a legends in the world of detailing ,thank u sir for sharing ur skill with us sir, I am one of ur followers. Thanks
I appreciate the kind words....and support...Cheers.
Awesome stuff Brian!! I use the Uro fiber 50/50 with 3D one or a car pro gloss pad Koch Chemie F601.. sometimes oberk heavy cut and a wool with the rotary if it's hard clear to hard followed by Koch Chemie F601 or M302 and a CP gloss pad👌
I agree with all of your choices. For those reading these commnetd I would just add Griots Correcting Cream to the one step list. Great video though. Well done.
Excellent as always Brian 👊🏼
I find myself using 3d one and Griots orange pads. Also use lake country pads some as well. Really depends on what I’m working on and what the customer can afford or wants
I bought my first polisher, Dewalt 848, pads and polishes and I gather any helpful information to start. The idea of mixing and matching (one step - polish drops) was something I didn't know, thanks. There are so many combination of pads and polishes..
One extra problem I have is that I don't have garage
Having a controlled environment like a garage or shop makes things a bit easier but is not necessary.
Awesome video Brian!! Never gets old.
Keep em coming. 👊
Triple G 😎
Keep up the great work my brotha 🫡🫡
Hi Brian, you teach so many, including me. Could you please give me your advice kind sir? Let’s say I want to try a URO fiber 50/50 or Orange foam pad + TW 1 and done, and I’m happy BUT I want go for more gloss/better finish, could I go back over the car with a Rupes Fine/gloss pad + a finishing polish like reflect or perfect finish? Would that be a wise thing to do, would it work in leaving a better finish after a good one step? I have a 2019 mustang GT, it doesn’t have many swirls, paint is in pretty good shape but it does have some etched water spots here and there that I believe will be super easy to remove. I may only need to polish the car, is that possible too? Thank you for all you do.
Shoot.. I haven't watched the video yet...
But I literally just spent over $100 on my very first pad purchase.
This video would have been really handy yesterday haha
I see you great video buddy tfw
Oberk has a new 1-step. "Sole"
What pads do you recommend for applying wax or sealants?
Always good to focus up on the fundamentals. Cool video.
You worked a huge area. Do you suggest that?
Brian,
Have you tried adding a couple drops of Max wax to the 1 and done yet? I was thinking it would save a step and I have seen you do that with TAC Moonlight and another product.
Thanks for all these excellent videos!
Rick
Keep in mind...the longer you work the combo with a pad...The more it will be broken down. Just like any other All in One.

I was thinking by combining the two we add protection to the correction. I just wondered if you’ve tried it yet?
Great video and information as always! 🙏🙏👍👍✔️✔️
I need pad help --- Trying to do a paint correction on a charcoal grey 2009 Toyota Camry. I have tried 3d one and a lake country orange pad with no success. Visually no difference and not worth the effort. Then tried a Buff and Shine URO-Fiber Microfiber Pad with about same results. Visually there is little if any difference. No depth or clarity improvements. Paint will never be perfect but was hoping to see some difference.
Recently had great results on a much better kept 2010 Camry with orange and white Lake Country.
What should I try next on the charcoal grey? I was hoping for a single pass facelift with DA polisher. Trying to keep it simple.
Cars paint has seen automatic car washes with little or no protection through the years.
What did you end up doing?
@@garrett6743 I waited for a temperature around 90 degrees and chose a microfiber cutting pad paired with 3d One and was able to get a respectable correction running a HONE 15mm polisher at level 5. ThrI suspect the turtle wax hybrid solutions compound might have been a better compound but it was not available The car was rough but not horrid. This was a family member car that now as a whole looks better than when it was purchased used many fears ago. Someone else is going to be detailing the interior.
The Camry is going from a daily work vehicle to 5k or less miles a year. It should manage in that capacity for several years even though it drinks oil. It should function as a vehicle that looks better than 80% of the vehicles on the road from 6' away.
It might have looked better if it had a second buff but it was not happening. Enough time has already been spent.
Paint was coated with turtle wax to the max wax and 48+ hours a flex wax sealant top coat.
It is ready to be washed and dried with Technicians Choice TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray
love your video's ty, so I have a VW Passat 2013 clear coat is hard as rock, I use my car as the test bed :)
Care to give me a combo to work with and see if I can do more......a compound and pad combo
i have 3D 3 in 1 and Griots complete compound in stock.
also lake country light cutting orange pad and meguiar's cutting disk, hex logic orange pads
I'm willing to buy a recommended combo like a Koch product I just need a suggestion.
what you think.....ty jimmy
The Megs Cutting Disc and Koch Chemie H9 should work.
Hi Brian, thx for the video. Can u use the uro fiber pads on more panels than a standard foam pad before you need to swap it out for a new pad? i.e. When using foam pads i might do say 3 panels then change pads. Can i get more panels out of the uro fiber? Are they more heat tolerant? Thx
Yes...they are much more versatile. The urofiber pads are more effective when kept cool and not over worked.
@@apexdetail85 thx Brian. How many uro fiber pads would you use on a standard size 4 door sedan?
I’m just an auto enthusiast not a professional detailer by any stretch, but aim to skillfully take care of my automobiles’ finishes. Sticking with paint enhancements & one step processes, I’m struggling with which product line offerings are which and the exact definition of either. Such example, 3D Speed and 3D One. 3D Speed is a combo of their One and Poxy wax. Whereas, it seems I would have to follow up the 3D One with some sort of protection step. But it’s considered a One Step here. Same with the Koch Chemie M3 and P3. So then, which is considered the true one step? I’m unsure about the Sonax lineup. Sorry for the confusing question. Thanks kindly in advance.
I’d say a one step is a light compound or strong polish like 3D one that will need protection, basically being a 2 step job. The all in ones like 3D speed or the TW one and done, are one step wipe and done, nothing else. There has been a confusion about the terms or words used, the protection is always an extra step or extra time. I see the one step as a 2 step and the 2 step cut and finish as 3 step because you should add protection, 😉.
One step is referring to the number of cutting/polishing stages. One step cuts and finishes in one stage versus 2 stages compound/finish. No protection is laid down. The products that are one step with protection are usually called All In Ones or AIO because they cut finish and leave protection.
@@josephonofrio7243 correct except that you charge for a one step or a 2 step, and no protection, and have to tell the customer and if you want protection ( that should be done anyway) it’s extra money, being wax sealant or coating
@@josephonofrio7243 ok, thank you so much for confirming this! Here lies my frustration with how product lines classify/label their offerings. SE, On 3D’s website, they say both 3D Speed and 3D One are ones steps but also say Speed is an AOI. Additionally, 3D specifically lists their AAT 505 as an AOI. Whereas, upon looking closer at Koch Chemie’s site, P3 [Micro Cut & Finish] contains carnauba wax while M3 micro cut doesn’t. So, I understand this better now. Neither are described as AOI. However, there’s professional detailers all over YT demo-ing P3 as an AOI. Koch Chemie specifically lists P6 as their AOI with an unspecified sealant. I still don’t understand what’s going on with Sonax. It appears they don’t offer an AOI but label a few of their polishes with” Finish” in the moniker [like Koch Chemie P3 & P6 polishes with sealants] but don’t appear to contain any sealants. It seems as though some companies list their medium cut polish w/sealants as AOI while others list their finer cut Polish w/sealants as AOI. While there is also medium, fine and micro cut one steps & with or without sealants. Lol…
You are comparing one steps with All In One polishes I believe. All In One polishes contain some sort of protection. One step polishes cut and finish all in one step....without protection
Koch Chemie Micro cut is missing from the finishing line up :)))
Another great option.
can I use a cutting pad with a polish
Yes....and the other way around.
Another awesome video/content/product review good friend.
Thanks!
Hi Brian, about to purchase my first one step polish which until now haven't tried! i have narrowed my choice down to 3D One and Angelwax Regenerate. I want no dust and easy wipe off, but also finishing well. Which of these two would you recommend over the other and why? Cost not a factor...Thanks! :)
3D One can be a bit oily but has longer working time and is easy to manage outdoors. Regenerate is basically Enigma AIO without the sio2. Very good stuff....throw a dart. :)
@@apexdetail85 Great, thanks Brian! 3D One ordered for the bulls-eye. :)
Do you have to wax after using 3d one and if so what to use . Thanks
Wax washes of quickly...use a polymer sealant such as Power Lock.
How long does it take you to do an enhancement versus a one step, or correction?
Lets take a Porsche 911. An enhancement should take less than an hour...Hour and half. A one step....around hr and a half to just under 2 hr. That time is based on a shop setting with experienced polishers.
I still have an old 21mm D/A polisher and have alot of MF pads. Are most people going to 15mm pads now?
a 15mm throw and 21mm throw are best with a 5 inch pad. Some come stock with a 6 inch backing plate...but I would order a 5 inch quickly.
Do you wash them in the wash and dryer ?
No....We use pad washers or forced air.
I heard 3M have some of the best pads you can use
I honestly would say Lake Country...and we use many pads all day....every day.
@@apexdetail85 I like to use the black 3m waffle style finishing pad I put the wax on by hand damp the pad and buff off the wax then wipe down old school trick my dad gave me
does colour determine the work a pad does
In most pad lines...example black is least aggressive application pad in most systems.
U see the shop Mgr easing up on u since it's Friday. Lol😆😆
😁👍🏻
🤙🤙

why are you calling them groups? how about you actually name what kind of pads you're using
