Scholl Concepts S20 Black Review: Does a 1-step compound and polish really exist. Find out! 

I love your sarcasm Darren! You're a thrill to watch! Thanks for all that you teach us. I feel like I've known you for years.

Really enjoyed this video. Very top notch information. I will definitely be giving the S20 a try to see how it performs. I do enjoy your candid informational videos about detailing. Please keep them coming to the masses here in the real world. When it comes to detailing, you have some of the best information on RU-vid Darren. Thanks

Darren, thanks for keeping it all real on your channel, I have learned so much from your insights in the detailing world. I can now cut to the chase and make magic out of rough situations detailingwise!!!!!

Wow Darren! I will definitely be adding this to my next order of products! I love your mentality on life, detailing technique, and even on the business side of mobile detailing! Tons of quality information and tips that i have started using right away! I will definitely use your websites link to amazon; to order anything and everything i would normally order on amazon!

Fantastic video, I love your approach to "real world" paint correction and also your humor!

You've gotta love Johnny Trash man, rolling up on Darren in the Video.

I love using S20 Black. I use it alot! Scholl makes great products! Both pads and polishes! And i love how easy it is to understand what pads u should use with different polish/compounds.

I appreciate your effort with getting these videos out. I look forward to getting my car's paint into shape as I DYI my own car care. I have a Griots orbital and am going to get the Wolfgang wax along with some of this for my gloss black Mustang. Thanks again. Spider webs...your days are numbered!

I just bought a Black 2016 Mustang GT with Factory Installed Swirls.. By far the most informative videos iv'e seen in literally the last eight straight hours of looking at detailing videos...

awesome video, thanks for taking the time to do it

been waiting for this one! Thanks Darren!

one of my favorite videos you have ever posted.

Love your vids wish I was your apprentice you seem so laid back and informative

This is really amazing as you say - So glad you ran with the Dewalt and wool and then DA - great video - thanks for sharing...

Great video. At one point I was more fascinated by the garbage truck, living in the UK we would have 4 or 5 guys following behind lol. I like the fact you just carry on and don't go back and edit the videos to take out the background distractions. I use the Costco fibre cloths, nothing wrong with them, after a few uses they get passed indoors for the housework. Keep up the videos they are great thank you.

I recently bought a sports car, and I am going to buy this product to keep my car's black paint look fresh at all times. I like the product, and I like to video! Thanks for the effort bringing the ease of use and the quality of a product with a great demo, to an amateur detailer !

Excellent product, would love a taping technique video when you have the time! Awesome videos, keep it up

As always great video! The best detailing videos on RU-vid! :)

Excellent product review Darren!

Enjoyed the video Darren. I've got some S20 Black and a few Spider pads coming now. Can't wait to try it out!

I love this stuff. I've used it with my DA polisher to diminish pretty noticeable scratches: to the point that you need to go hunting for them with your nose rubbing the paint. It also works just as well for headlamp restoration.

Another informative video/review, thanks Darren keep up the good work. Also do make a video about taping maybe I'm not be taping right or enough, but a video from you going over the subject would help.

looking forward to your videos Darren Thanks. The best ut channel for detailers. Thank you

Darren when i watched my first video of yours I was like WTF enough with blah blah blah. I am soo glad I hung in there and kept watching more of your videos. I want to say that you are the MOST genuine person I have seen on youTube in a long time. Your videos are very thorough and soo helpful. Thanks for the amazing amount of effort you put in. Big fan

Great video. Please do the informational on taping. I don't currently own a DA but look to purchase one soon. Keep up the great work Darren.

I love your videos, Darren. No BS. Total real world. Thank you for taking my fear away from DA! I heard good things about Scholl S20 Black. Also S3 gold XXL and S40. Brilliant! Take care, all the best, Rob.

Great Video Darren, loved the bit about the "cheap micro-fibers" lol i totally agree. Good vibes from Barbados.

i found this without realising i really wanted to find it! i live in an appalling north european climate but panels still get hot in sunlight and i have to do car work outdoors so info like this is invaluable.

Darren, just getting into detailing and love the videos very helpful. I am a drivewy detailer and have really enjoyed it. Which product do you like best this one or the Menzerna? Thanks for the great work!

Great video Darren! On the subject of buffers, as an all round versatile tool a rotary will always be great, it does what you tell it to do, you can get 90% of a vehicle with a single machine making it ideal when you are mobile and have space limitations, less machines same amount of work done. Even for the beginners out there, being so versatile they are a great tool to learn with, and they won't bite your head off, especially with a slower machine like a flex. Now with pad and polish technology, carrying less product is getting easier and easier too which is important for me!

I really like your style and thankyou for sharing your expertise.

Hi Darren, it would be great to see you do a whole vid on how to tape up a car for paint correction. Cheers

please do a video on proper taping techniques! that would be greatly appreciated. since i have had it come off and whip me lol

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with various products Darren! A question for you...Did you start with the Dewalt just to demonstrate the different effectiveness of the two tools using the same product or did you think you might be able to achieve your goals of correction with just the Dewalt?

First 10min should be on Radio - another great video leaving the best bits towards the end

I like that you're using and advocating for the rotary. Cut the scratch with the rotary, take the swirls out with the random orbital. Cutting the scratches is so much faster with the rotary and the swirls die before they hit the ground with the next shot is my go to method as well.

Thanks for the Video. And a video or two on taping would be very helpfull!

Although the cutting power is not as strong as s20 black, I have had great results with a15+ aio from Scholl. Great product. Thanks for a great vid Darren.

very thankful for all the info. you provide in the videos. I have a Griot's polisher. What pad would you recommend for polishing and waxing. I polished my car last summer and it left micro scratches and swirls all over my Subaru. I used Meguiar's 205 polish and the Meguiar's ultimate paste wax. Very disappointed with the finished product.

check scholl S3 gold XXL and S40 as a 2 stage combo as well....

Useful video and have some S20 on the way to try. Would have been good to see a one stage polish with just the Rupes as by compounding with wool first made this a two stage correction.

Nice work Darren!

Great video Darren!

Also tried out Scholl Concepts S20 Black on my car with a DA, best product i've ever used!

Where can I get those bottles you showed when taking about how hard it was to dispense from the original bottle? Thanks and great video!!

I'd really like to see you working on the tough angles and creases.

The contrast on the hood is outstanding

Darren yes in the real world this looks great!! Nice video on this beautiful car!!! Question soft paint or hard? As a novice detailer how do you distinguish soft or hard paint? Yes would love to see a video on the right way to tape!!

I'm a complete rookie at paint correction. I have used scholl s20 one step, with zero experience, on my metallic black car, and results were amazing.

Griots correcting cream is also a really good product that corrects very well, finishes haze free on most finishes.

The most interrupted Darren Priest video lol.Thanks for another one Darren!

Priceless .. love the comedy with the garbage man ... you use any ceramic coating jobs you can feature possibly in the future .. lots of would love to see this and your thoughts on such products .. keep videos coming .. long time fan

I tried this compound after tons of great reviews. I am a beginner and this was my third car, the first two cars with other compounds and polishes went absolutely great! With this I used the blue spider pad on a heavily scratched car and it left most of the scratches on it. To top it off it left a TON of holograms on the car. I am using a DAP 900 v3 and I tried multiple speed settings and applying different kinds of pressure while making slow passes in a cross pattern like most tutorials show whenever possible. This was a metallic paint as well slightly darker than the car in the video. Any thoughts on why? Is the paint simply damaged too much for the blue spider pad? And how do I get a finish like this, I slowly went over the holograms on lower speeds with lower pressure and it didn't fix it.

awesome to see new products. scholl is great because most of the products that u show are not available here in germany !

Darren another great video like you mentioned in the video if you can do a video on proper tape technique before polishing a car that would be great . keep it up darren

So the aggressivness of the pad is what does the correcting? to compound I would use a cutting pad to polish I would use a polishing pad and to finish with a finer polishing I would use a finish pad.. all with the same product?

love all the video Darren

Great video but have a quick question. So I would use Scholl Concepts S20 Black compound then apply HD Speed All In One Polish/Sealant? Ty for your help and would like to see that Tape video...

Hey Darren I'm working on a budget I just purchased a semi used rotary buffer (dewalt) just like yours. I'm wanting to try this on my 2012 buick lacrosse that is a pearl white. do you think I could really mess it up with this type of buffer or should I give it a try on a low speed and see what it does? I have been watching alot of your videos and chemical guys vids. I'm trying to learn all I can before attempting to try this. thanks for taking the time out to show us how to use these products properly

excellent work darren

Great as always. Darren, please make a video how to tape a car properly.

Always thanks to make great video I also use COSTCO towel haha. ps.Not a big deal but there is typo on description, 'all-in-one(AOI)' -> (AIO) Thank you again! From Nor-cal.

Sold! great video! :)

Great video Darren I gotta try that stuff out. Dam that bottle blew up haha.

hey, I like the video. I've just ordered a bottle of s20, I'm sure I won't regret buying it!

Awesome video Darren! To bad the hood shot really didnt work out but the fender one was A+. I know you probably have a whole slew of other products to try but since you loved Speed and now did a video on this you should look at doing a video on HD Adapt. I got a bottle of it and I bet it would be just about on par with this. I used it with a rotary and Meguirs Hyper Wool pad (very aggressive wool pad) and only got slight hazing out of it. Will take out 2000 grit sandpaper no problem.

look like a time saver! results were awesome !

Great vid. What was the pad on the DA, please? COuld I use S20 with an Orange or green pad? And white finishing polish and sealant do recommend?'

wow. that looks amazing. about the rotary thou. it seems like everything has curves or more to the point sharp lines these days. like this car has the small little ridges towards the outside edge of the hood. so how do you deal with that? thanks :)

Great video I will try the product thanks

Hi Darren would you know why my S20 black would be drying out on the 1st pass and become to wipe off due to being too dry. Thanks in advance. Great vid👍

could you do a video on buffers? I would like to purchase one that might be able to take on different tasks? Thanks

Awesome stuff! How long did it take to finish the whole car?

Good video, going to try s20 because of this video :)

superb overview, I would love to see you review Sonax Perfect Finish to compare

Hey looks good, hey I thinking of removing the 4X4 decal on my 2500HD Silverado then hit it with a a DA, any quick guidance for remove any adhesive or wax prior to polishing? TIA

Have you tried chemical guys ss 2 in 1 ? Would like to see a video of you using some of there products since they seem to have such a following .

Darren, I studied this product left and right (and yes I know where to buy it), but with the s3 and s40 lines I'm getting confused out of my mind. Any insight to others or which is better? the descriptions are the same in different wording

It seems like almost all detailing vids show stuff being done on nice wide open hoods etc. How about doing one on working around obstructions- think mirrors, all kinds of protrusions like on rv's, edges (like wheel wells, grilles etc that want to grab the machine)- you know- all the stuff that's a pita to work around

Hi Darren brill vid what happens when it’s cold and wet do you stay inside?

Can u still get the same final results with using only a d/a machine without a rotary ?

Darren, What is your opinion of this product VS Menzerna PF4000 if you were to compare? Thanks!

Hi genius, Do you recommend to use this product for all kind of paints? I think saving time + high-end is the pleasure of each detailer.

Scholl are sweet. Have you tried Menzerna FG400 , SHC300 and 3 in 1 ?

Hi Darren tomorrow is the day I am going to try the scholls.my first polishing atemp. with a Makita rotary with a da adapter.

Big fan, love your very informative videos. Since many of us only have a DA polisher, could we get similar results using only a DA and a foam pad?

Hi! I did not understand one thing, is it necessary to pass the IPA to check that the swirls are gone? The product description says it does not contain any oils. Thanks!

Nice work. Have you tried Scholl's S3 Gold?

Looks like a great product Darren..

Hi there ! this job, what you just done, it can be completed with only the DA Polisher ? thank you!

Darren, off topic but I need your help and probably others too. Power equipment, DA, buffers. How does a "driveway detailer" know what to buy and how to learn to use it? Would love to see you cover this topic. Thanks in advance.

Wow Darren ! This is HOT ! I will definitely order this product S20 ! I love your detailing Technique, big of quality information and tips that I have started using right away ! I will use your websites link to Amazon. Super job Darren on Videos ! Ty vm... Ps. Rotary is my thing - I'm Helicopter Pilot.

Which one would you recommend as your main 1 step between Scholl Concepts or HD Speed?

Darren have you used Menzerna 3-1? I'm a huge fan of M products thanks to your illustration.

Hi, Excellent informative video on the S20. I'm assuming the Scholl S3 gold is for softer paints, is this correct?

Hey ! My woolen pad gets dry in seconds , same as s20 on panel after half of the pass. I keep reapplying s20 and spraying panel and pad with water , but i thing am doing it dry many moments still. Also after 1 pass i cant see an Ty s20 on the panel. Should I reapply s 20 every pass, or should I do second and third , fourth passes with no s 20 visible on the panel and dry pad ? Please help.

I wish you'd done a panel just with the DA. Since it's a one step polish/compound and most will be using a DA.

Was hoping for a some completely done footage/shots.

Darren Would this be something I could use on exhaust tips ? Glad to see you took the time to do this video... 12 hrs days are no joke Lol.

another great video Darren! Looks like a good product and it does what it says.. I hope Carpro Essence is on your list!
