For sure in the top three detailing channels; He kind of reminds me of a dude who does reviews on computers and computer parts. Apex Detailing has to be in the top three. Im not sure about Pan.
I like griots creams, in not so hammered car I use correcting cream with boss orange pad in boss15 polisher and that is my 1 step correction, next I put some sealant and WOW! .... Greetings from Puerto Rico and sorry if I miss some letter (spanish is mi first lenguage)
Thank you so much Scott on opening people's eyes and telling them that cheap DAs with a good Compund and pad can achieve great results. Also, thanks for the great informative videos.
I've bought and tried at least eight different compounds, none worked. Watched this video, bought the product, Griot's compound brought back my oxidized paint on my truck 99% to like new. AMAZED!!!! Thank you kindly for posting this video. Truth be told, this stuff ROCKS!!! Compounded it, then finished it with Griot's; then sealed it with a wax coat. I'm SOLD on this product, thank you kindly Sir. Mike J
I used the Griots compound from Autozone with the Griots G9 Polisher on a 2500 Ram with pretty heavy swirls; the results were incredible! I’d love to use their BOSS products as soon as I’m done with this compound.
Love your honesty and plain genuineness! I've been watching countless hrs of videos on paint correction (I'm gonna try my hand at it here this year) and you're definitely one of my favorites! I really appreciate your videos.
I love the video!! When I look for a new/used car, I am a rare person because for me, the paint is so important. I just purchased a 4 year old black car (extremely low miles) and when I was critiquing the paint, the dealer said they would detail it; I said give me another $1k off and I will do it myself!
I am going to use the BOSS 3 step from correcting cream through finishing sealant with my new Griots G9 ROP on my personal car. With what you showed just using step 1 cannot wait to see my results!
The problem is enhancements just aren't *nearly* as fun and rewarding for us. 😁 But one steps are becoming the norm very quickly with thin soft water based paint. So it's even more important to do multiple tests spots and be able to quickly dial in your combo to get the cut you need and still finish down to get the most out of the one trip. Unfortunately I find that means broadening your inventory. Having just one goto compound and polish and a couple pad types isn't an ideal route. GFCC and or a 50/50 pad may work great on one car, and turn around and suck on another, but it loves 3D One and or a medium wool pad. Etc., etc.. I'm a product hoarder and try new stuff constantly to geek out and mix things up, so that's fine with me. But a LOT of detailers pick a system, 100/105/205, Hyper Compound/Polish, etc. and stick with it and master it.
Scott is the sort of guy I would like to have a beer with, and just chat about detailing, but I'm in the UK, and he's in Dallas. No bull shit from this dude.
Scott you have officially won me over with Griots. I was a fan of chemical guys and still is but by watching this video, Jeepers Creepers, I can't believe that they have created a one step paint correction cream. Instead of going out and spending money on the three step process, you get it all in one step with Griots. I truly believe you would of gotten the rest of those scratches off with 4 more passes over that panel. I'm looking forward to getting my next practice car so I can try it out. Keep up up the good work Scott. God bless your ministry. Yes I said ministry because that is your gift and God has used you for over 30 years to meet people all over the Dallas area and built long lasting relationships. Keep it up.
I’ve used this to paint correct my fathers Camry , which looked as if he took it to a demolition derby. It removed all the scratches including one that ran bumper to bumper along an entire side. I did it to surprise him because my mother had asked me to . He thought my mother had traded his Camry for another.
Always so honest!!!! Love your videos results speak for themselves. Lots of people probably can't afford the two step just trying to keep up with the neighbor's sad world we live in! Be glad with what we got and do the best we can!!!! Forget what next door has!!!! Love everyone! Your the best!!!
Been watching for a while now. Confusion about products dwindling after one of your videos. All the same made by the same people priced differently. May be not at your level! As a weekend beginner warrior I'm just gonna go for what ever I can get and enjoy making my car look better! Thank you again.
Just did my Nautique Wake board boat where I had a little bit of dock rash (no idea how that got there). Results were fantastic!! Thanks for the video and educating us amateurs.
We do our share of paint corrections at my shop. Groits is my go to compounds, depends on the paint, make. Well I just bought a 2015 Ford F-150 4x4 ,white in color. When looking at it before I bought it showed me deep scratches but heck, I own a detail shop, no problem! After the prep work I took out my Rupes Mark II, Groits Fast Correcting Cream and an orange foam pad. Results weren't to my liking , still had scratches. Moved up to a Meguiars MF cutting pad, little better but still not happy. I then took out my Meguairs m100 which is meant using a wool pad and a rotary buffer but I stuck with my Ruoes and MF cutting pad. Very happy, the scratches were gone, very easy to wipe off, I then followed up with m205. I was very happy with the results. I'm saying m100 can be used using a DA with some tweaking, less is better, don't over work it. Groits is still my go to compound. Thanks for sharing bud!
I'm confused; why did you use a compound that was not designed for a DA? I think I'm missing what benefit or advantage did the m100 provide over other DA specific options like FCC or m105, or menzerna's compound etc. Did you use it to achieve a higher cut for example? I'm curious
Awesome video! I have a few scratches on my hood similar to 2000 grit sandpaper due to bird dropping removal that need to go. Close to perfection is fine for a daily driver that sits outside in the weather.
Wow I really love your videos, you made a great point about the real world and paint correction. I along with 99% of people on the road would be satisfied with the fcc and orange pad.
btw, i Love your videos, I watch a ton ( aka: Shit Load) of youtube and always come back to you. I just got my boss FCC i have heavy clear coat oxidation on a 2004 black Yukon, esp on the hood. I have the HF polisher, the 5.5 orange griots pads, and a LAKE DA disk coming tomorrow. Thank you for all the tips...I'm a newbie and count on you for my learning.
Man that hf machine polisher is a great budget tool but I remember the first couple cars I used it with my arm’s were aching the following days lol. After a couple hours you’ll feel how much that machine vibrates lol.
Hello Dallas! You've earned a subscriber way up in Fargo ND!!! I've been to Big-D 3 yrs in a row, in early Jan. My NDSU Bison won 5 National Championships in a row there (Toyota Stadium in Frisco!!!). Just barely missed getting there this Jan tho'. Learning a lot from you! Wife just gave me a Griot's buffer for Father's-Day, so I'm having fun! Recovering from Rotator-Cuff surgery in April restricts my buffing time however!
Why thank you Sir! Shoulder getting stronger! Hopefully....we'll have to come back to Frisco early Jan '18!! We went to the Galleria (??) Mall each time too. PS- NDSU fans spend A LOT in Dallas.... ;-)
Yes its pretty much the same thing here in The Netherlands almost everything trucks cars bikes are covered in swirl marks and scratches even the newer cars and full off dents from other doors
Scott you the " Man "... Love your videos and it's great learning with the best ~ Much appreciated and Wishing you and everyone here an amazing Happy New Year of 2018 .... One 🙏❤ Love ~
I think I am going to use it on my parents 2007 Highlander that needs paint correcting desperately. For the price it will be interesting to see what results I get. There car has not been detailed in 10 years.
8ve 7sed this it works as good as Scott says then top it wit to flex max grahphene wax took me 6.5 hours the shine is great bit I use a long 21 try throw from amazon
Hi Scott ,I really enjoy your videos,you are a good teacher!Some folks say that Griots products are expensive! I know of compounding and polishing products that are twice as expensive,but I won't say who they are.Do you get a better product is you pay more?
I have a black 2017 Honda Civic that I ran through the car wash religiously for about a year straight. I noticed the other day nothing but swirls and light scratching. Should I use fast correcting cream on it or just correcting cream? Thanks
in your opinion, which paint correction product is best? iv been looking into the griots, ammo, and chemical guy line. im sorry for the ignorant question but im just starting and only doing my own vehicles. thank you for your time Scott!!
Scott love your channel and your reviews! I have a car that has been through 5-6 years of daily driving and automatic car washes! You think i need to use this or go down to correcting?
Yes indeed love watching your vids, to the average person just trying to take care of my car you are very informative, and the guy with the t-shirt idea is right you need to make some lol
Scott enjoy all your videos and has helped me get into the hobby of trying new things with my car and motorcycle. I have a Harbor Freight DA polisher, however I've noticed the pad sometimes is not in constant circular motion. Could this be a defect or you think I'm doing something wrong? Do I add more product to make it more slick? I know it is not the pressure I put on it, even with no pressure it doesn't spin sometimes. Any ideas?
Would you bother getting the Correcting Cream to go along with this or just go with the fast Correcting Cream and a polish (m205 or Griot's Perfecting Cream)?
great question but the answer is no..i still need both because i may be working on a car that has been compounded to many times and the risk of removing to much clear coat i would want the correcting cream in my stock and not use the more aggressive fast correction cream in this scenario...i hope that helps answer your question...thanks for your support:)
Hey scott question. I got a 1991 cadillac deville it has original paint it's really flat and dry but I wanna try to bring it back to life. What would you recommend to use without repainting it
Mr Scott, sorry to ask, I am a beginner yet have good hands so not scared to get into the work. Q: i have islands of damaged clear coat on the roof. I can wetsand them and then immediately follow up with the steps you showed in te vid? Thanks in advance.
Hey Scott, what’s the difference in this and just the correction cream and what’s the hottest temperature you will workout side in the sunlight using these?
Scott, After you did this fast correcting cream if you wanted to get out the haze and the small scratches left would you apply the fast cream again but with a more aggressive pad or would you go to their correcting cream for a next step?
What if it was a older car that was not base coat clear coat but standard enamel paint? The scratch was from a small piece of 00 steel wool stuck in my micro towel
How do you compare a Maguire's rubbing compound or polishing compound to this "cream"? Which is faster and which is more economical with similar results similar speed?
I have chemical guys v32, v34, v36 &v38... it’s working pretty good but I’m thinking there still is better out there.. might have to try griots next.. hmm... seems like the v32 needs a lot of passes and it still has swirl marks and water spots, could be less passes and better results with griots? I just might have to find out :)
Have a 2017 Harley Davidson FXDLS, black paint, paint doesn't have deep scratches, not even swirls really. I find myself constantly fighting towel marks, very fine swirls. What do you recommend to for mirror like finish? I wash, clay, megs swirl remover in tan bottle, ultimate polish and wax twice a year. I use all clean microfibers, and the clear is a powder coat.
