Hopefully...this helps beginners take that first step beyond offering basic cleanings.

@felixf5211 5 лет назад

This is a win-win scenario. A less experienced detailer can feel comfortable completing the job well, and the results satisfy most clients.

@masoodanwar3306 5 лет назад

Awesome video Brian. this was very helpful. I've been for a video like this. a lot of information to help me make the move.

@nailbomb3 5 лет назад

This was outstanding. I can't wait to hear the next video with the info from PPG as well. How's the Maxshine machine holding up?

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

The MaxShine does not miss a beat. I really enjoy it so far.

@Alex4n3r 5 лет назад

Why is Menzerna 3 in 1 (aka Cut, Gloss, Wax) in group A?

@gregmannos 5 лет назад

If you give up on detailing you need to consider a career in teaching. For me your reasoning makes perfect sense and is easy to understand.

@CAPTJ696 5 лет назад

Absolutely!

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

I haven't ruled it out. I already have hands on training here.🤔

@bagchaser77 4 года назад

Paint Enhancement !!! This is the 1st video I found which describes what I want to do as my first car. I have to rewatch this to find the products

@LNRRidez 2 года назад

I've watched a few of your videos now. You seem to know a lot more than many other channels out there. Thank you for the knowledge and this video was a good one. I've been thinking about doing this stuff for fun out of the driveway.

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Glad it helped a bit Mikey.

@vaughnmostert2549 2 года назад

Great advice firstly. Honest and straightforward. Many people make it look easy doing correction becouse they have the experience and the right equipment. From a beginner perspective it looks easy and harmless, till you couse damage to clients vehicles. Great advice to go for enhancements and build experience

I enjoy the short videos that have a lot of info coming at you in a short space of time. Can easily use this video as the go to one for all paint enhancement information. KISS . . . Keeping It Stupid Simple. Girls can follow these steps and do great. Well done.

@TheCarDetailingChannel 3 года назад

My favorite part of car detailing is the wipe down after performing the fine polishing stage. There is something about wiping away the residue and revealing that perfect finish 👌

@davidsteckley8846 Год назад

I'm a newbie and I absolutely love what 3D has to offer. 3D ONE, Speed (AIO) and Poxy as a sealant. Bro you rock with your information

@dombo2463 5 лет назад

As someone who is just starting out this is exactly what I was looking for. Some of the cars are new so the idea of already pulling away from clear coat so early in the cars life is really not appealing. Especially when I'm really looking to just provide a little more gloss and shine. Thank you again for another amazing video.

@anthonyjohnson9580 5 лет назад

@kikcodog 5 лет назад

Great advice. Most people are shocked at what you can do with a DA, a good cleaner wax and a medium polishing pad... and it's not like it goes back to ugly the first time it's run through a car wash either. YT and fear of criticism has done lot of harm to the benefits of enhancements. I think the pendulum is beginning to swing back with pros like you and Scott from Dallas Paint Correction speaking out.

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

BigOldDog raising awareness is at least a start.👍🏻

@glennsilverstein5331 4 года назад

During the pandemic, I have picked up detailing as a hobby. I have invested in an Maxshine M15 and now have so many products that I have confused myself. I have everything from foam to C2V3 and some cuts, polishes, waxes, sealant in between...and don't really know when to use use what. To complicate matters I have two cars that must remain ungaraged and get horrible Northeast water spots that drive me crazy. You have now introduced me to one step and paint enhancers...great more product!! Can you give me one resource and product list to restart and get it all straight in my head??? Thanks Guy!! I appreciate it.

@tombotkin2171 4 года назад

Hello Brian, First I love your sessions as a total newby I'm taking it all in like a sponge. Just a comment, when you flash the product you're using could you hold it for a possible 8 to 10 count. I can't capture the product fast enough and end up having to rewind several times to get it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Finally I haven't seen a session on pads and brands. I'm sure you have made one. Thanks again!

@Rmf8 5 лет назад

Great video! Keep up the great work!

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Thanks! Absolutely!

@bbdetailing9123 5 лет назад

Great video, Brian! Funny timing too, as I just sold a "paint enhancement" yesterday. Though, I called it a "deep cleaning." - Same idea, though. For this job, I'll be using Ultima Final Polish on a soft pad, and follow it up with Ultima Paint Sealant. Owner of the daily driven car isn't looking for scratch/swirl removal, just a nice cleaning and maintenance washes every other week.

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Exactly...and I bet it looked FANTASTIC and the customer was happy as hell!

@bbdetailing9123 5 лет назад

Apex Detail OH, not sure! I sold it, but haven't done the job. I'm meeting the guy tonight and we'll schedule it then. But yes, I'm sure it will look fantastic. :)

@stephencarbonaro5462 5 лет назад

And this is why proper maintenance is important. Washing with plenty of lubrication and not marring the surface in the first place, is crucial. My personal car is black. The RIDS and wash marring drive me nuts, but the thought of removing clearcoat and giving it less protection is worse. Maybe I'll just take it to the body shop and have it sprayed with 7 layers of clear 🤔. But seriously, this subject matter is really what sets you apart, Brian. Great vid to help people breaking into the business. Thank you.

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Stephen Carbonaro agreed. Add to that no protection was ever applied whatsoever... and a dull, swirled finish is the outcome.

@richardseem7948 5 лет назад

awesome video nice simple 2 the point video buddy 🍻🍻

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Richard Seem Cheers!

@evythefish21 5 лет назад

Yup, now I am thourouly confused. Some of the more obsessed, NY/L detailers dont seem to mind ripping through all the clear on a car. Now they are working on 100k plus super cars, or their dad's WRX??? But still, no concern at all for retention of clear coat. I suppose that's why they sell and buy new cars every 6 months, they don't care about how it will look as the clear coat deteriorates on the next owner.(esp. A 2009 Honda S2000 w Black, uber soft clear. I was even cringing as I watched 5 guys tag team that car:) Alot to consider, and learn! Thanks for the video... most of us are working on daily drivers, or our own cars. It is really great to see someone who lives in the real world. You and Scott need to do a podcast or something, you two are on different pages in the same book!

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Talking to the techs at PPG R&D...They claim a vehicle needs 2 mils of their clear coat to completely protect the base coat. Factories barely get 1.75 mils on a new car currently. That tells you everything.

@performingspecs7841 3 года назад

Very informative video. I’ve always wondered if professional detailers have a different way of completing the front facia of an vehicle. Do you use a smaller buffer, different techniques? Thanks for any advice. I am not a professional but I own a flex with the original 6 inch pad assembly. I usually detail my own personal vehicles, making minor corrections such as swirl marks, scratches and stains. I want to prep a brand new vehicle for ceramic coating. I do also have a smaller Griots buffer 3 inch I believe but it is a random orbital I believe and not as effective..

@tobyhigginbotham2564 5 лет назад

Another great teaching video Brian! I wish I lived in your town, because I would come work for you for free just to learn.

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

You missed our hands on training weekend just a few weeks ago.

@markhanson1009 5 лет назад

I missed it too. I would have driven from CT for that!

@MyGuyKirby 5 лет назад

Great demo on the basics and especially keeping the danger of taking too much of the clear coat. Which sounds like any is already beyond the recommendation. Oh well..

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

To quote the tech at PPG R&D..." the factory falls short of 2 mils, which is the minimum needed for maximum protection. So as soon as you have made your first pass, you have removed too much"

@crystalsabundance 5 лет назад

Excellent video. I had no idea that AIOs had more cut than a polish then wax! Have/can you do a review of the Meguiars Mirror Bright Polishing Wax?

@darrenp9088 5 лет назад

Thanks, this was very helpful as I add this service to my business! Does an enhancement/one step remove the blemishes permanently or just cover them up? Wondering if they resurface over time.

@douggreen980 5 лет назад

Another great video Brian

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

🙂👍

@felixf5211 5 лет назад

I use Megs Ultimate Polish, D151, KAIO, and Essence Plus for enhancement and maintenance. If the car truly doesn't need much, I'll hit it with Rupes white polish/pad combo. Excellent pop. Would very much like to try out Enigma AIO, but the odds are that won't happen for a while.

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

At some point... definitely try the Enigma AIO Felix. 👌🏻

@kenwithrow5157 3 года назад

Great help here for us that are new to detailing.Question, in the angle-wax redemption close to sonax perfect finish?

@MumenRider78 4 года назад

@mohamedabougindia2239 5 лет назад

I was under the impression that Sonax Perfect Finish is similar to menzerna 3800, with both of them being "jeweling" polishes, no? I occasionally use menzerna 3800 as a last step, is that unnecessary if all defects are gone beforehand? Thank you so much for the helpful videos! I learned a lot from you.

@skysword2413 2 года назад

One step is a new term for me. I grew up on cut and wax

@hassanraza1535 5 лет назад

Informative as always. Would you recommend using meguiars ultimate compound for enhancements/ one step?

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

You can definitely be successful using that.

@johnpawlowski804 4 года назад

How about using some ANGEL WAX PERFECT POLISH, Brian? I really like it. Jp in SD.

@whitepearlautodetailing4745 5 лет назад

I have a question here in my place I have in the day light outdoor 130-120 Fehrenheit and 118-112 in the night. The humidity is 75-100%. So do you think there is a way and products to do outdoor paint correction without failure due to the climate?

@zenon3021 5 лет назад

How long does a 1 step correction last? And how many corrections can you do before you run out of clear coat?

@Sean-ij3mi 2 года назад

Hi Brian was just contacting today because I was wondering if I could get some microfiber recommendations for buffing off optimum no rinse or rinseless washes because unfortunately I'm on my 4th rag company microfiber and everytime I go to buff onr off it leaves lots of lint and is very frustrating. This would be my 5th time washing them by themselves with microfiber detergent only and hang drying them each time and would be awesome if I can get pit in the right direction for achieving no lint buffing fir rinseless washes/spray wax removal. Thanks in advance for your help

@travisc5658 2 года назад

I would recommend 600 grit to get more clearcoat off.

@jlmagana 5 лет назад

@YOPHILLYYO 2 года назад

Hi, im not a pro. I detail for myself/own cars and for some friends. Ive been using McKees 37 360 corrects cleans seals. But i think its been discontinued. I cant seem to find it. Could you recommend a all in one thats good quality and I can buy in a gallon ? Thanks for the vids !!!

@resteasymobileautodetailin2430 2 года назад

what's your speed setting using the 10FX DA polisher during paint enhancement

@datdamndavisboy 5 лет назад

Brian, great video as usual......what it the recommended speed of the DA with there AIOs?

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Mid speed to maybe speed setting 4

@DcHuff97 4 года назад

2:30 great advice

@willoverkill 5 лет назад

Thank you this is terrific advice, especially with arm speeds, pad selection, diminishing abrasives. If I heard correctly, you're saying to use an orange cutting pad with an AIO, is this to get more cut? And you suggest it's more aggressive on paint removal than an enhancement polish; if you use a polishing pad similar to what would be used with the polish, would the AIO be less aggressive and comparable to the polish in terms of paint removal?

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

It would be less aggressive...which is good with newer cars. They do not even spray on enough clear to completely protect the basecoat. So what we remove ...makes it worse.

@andresarredondo1406 3 года назад

I do my first enhacement on my vw with chemical guys all in one, orange pad and 7424xp DA and i swirl my hood a little bit how do i fix it?

@thewall4669 5 лет назад

Great content Brian. I have a 2018 Escalade and Raptor that in my opinion need light correction on the hood and roof. Is Sonax Perfect Finish something I should use?

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

The Wall that would work perfectly. Eve Angelwax Perfect Polish👍🏻👍🏻

@marklin0124 5 лет назад

very detail and thank you! btw, what do you think about using LC force pad with AIO on a daily driver? is it too much? or better with white polishing pad?

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Best to test a small area. If the white pad works...go with it. You can always jump up if more aggression is needed.

@jacksonhulsey5227 5 лет назад

Do I need to use iron and tar remover before I polish? Or can i just use a clay bar? Also is there anything special soap to use for this?

@marioskosmidhs9454 5 лет назад

it is very intresting, that SONAX insipite has a GREAT one step such us ex 04-06 or 05-05, , great polish such as perfect finish, and a great compund such as cut max , and also great sealant such the polymer net shield, or the BSD, inspite.....i have never see any pro detailer using any AIO from sonax, such as polish wax no2, no3.they are retail products.............do you have any expirience with those?????mit is curius that so great company does not have a good pro AIO product

@iosgaminggeek5395 9 месяцев назад

So you recommend you do paint enhancement after one step if you’re a beginner?

@jimthomson9044 4 года назад

Found you video very helpful - I am new to this world. Pls explain what needs to happen BEFORE I enhance. Do I decontaminate first ( use something like Purple Power Boat and Marine)? Do I clay? Do I remove iron? Do I need to use something like GYEON Quartz Q2M Prep?

@Brian-dj3ru 2 года назад

You wash the car thoroughly,then clay bar.then you polish. After you polish a section,buff off the excess with a plush microfiber towel and wipe down with whatever decon spray you want

@maxfriedenberger8043 5 лет назад

Brian using a rotary polisher, should I use it for paint enhancement or one step correction??? Looking to buy a rotary polisher.......

@wernercollins1319 5 лет назад

Good video. it is a bit different than other detailers from the speed you use in you pattern, are you not afraid of the heat the pad makes when moving so slow?

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

Not at all...I am very picky when it comes to pad choice. I never run the section I am working on heat up.

@ChrisProsserZ06 4 года назад

Would you consider the Turtle Wax Ceramic Polish a paint enhancement or is it closer to a AIO one step?

@voodedoo 5 лет назад

Hi Brian, I watched one of your videos recently where you discussed learning to use a rotary. You fixed some deep scratches and the rest of the panel looked amazing when you were done. I had always heard that a rotary left swirls and a dual action was needed for finish work to clean that up. Do we even need a dual action if a rotary can do such a great job? Thanks!

@apexdetail85 5 лет назад

When mastered...it can do it all. A DA is needed to finish very soft clear.

@voodedoo 5 лет назад

Thank you Brian. I appreciate the quick reply. Love your videos and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and all the time it takes to do so.
