@@basher1285 no need to thank me I’m glad you went for it! Curious to know your learning points! What products and coating did you use? What did you find went well and what did you have difficulty with?

@@DayOneDetailing I used Gyeon Evo MOHS with skin. I’m very amateur so the prep stages literally took days. The main issue was where I’ve over-lapped the coat and for some reason left a light brown stain or darker section on a panel, maybe not buffed off hard enough? Not massively obvious but I’m OCD so the next wash I give it I’ll polish that section and re-apply. Over all though it looks ridiculous! The reflection being black is incredible. I’m on the detailing world website which has been really helpful too. E3PSB.

Of course! I’ll always do what I can where I can when I can, especially for a customer booking multiple vehicles across multiple occasions 💪🏼 enjoying the videos then? ☺️

@@DayOneDetailing yes - informative.

Mate the seats in the mini were lush! Very impressed! I’m not gonna lie the smart car really got to me while I was there it’s a lovely looking little motor, would love one with a powerful lump in it 😅 thanks for your comment 💪🏼

Have you driven one? Bet it's loads of fun🤔😯

I have tried many pads with varying softness & low speeds and I don’t think any combo has refined it out fully like a DA does, it can get close but never fully, it does help to do a medium refine with the rotary first before the DA but I’ll always finish out with the DA 💪🏼 but each to their own right, hello from the UK 🤝 hope your well

Thank you! I’m hoping so! Got a few cool videos lined up over the coming months, not just the VLOGS but some product vs product, reviews, in depth how to’s, some competitions between detailers, gonna be epic over Christmas!

It was sick! Thoroughly enjoyed juggling videoing chatting eating and everything all together, thanks for having me mate the start of the takeover! 💪🏼💪🏼

Cleaner? She’s owns the vehicle alongside her partner 👍 believe I had a nice cuppa or two that day 😁

A gazillion times better out in the sun, which is where obsidian black looks most special 👌

Thanks for the comment mate, will have a gander at your recommended combo! Not normally a fan of wool pads but always happy to try something new! 💪🏼 not all German clear coats are bad Porsche is like cheese, but obsidian black pre 20’s are just silly honestly

what car is it? What colour? What have you tried so far if at all? Do you have any machine polishing experience? If none id start out trying a heavy cut compound and then refinement polish by hand (after washing the car at absolute minimum) and if no joy then get her fully decon’d and give the machine polisher a go, start with a single stage, maybe yellow rupes pad on a dual action machine with your chosen refinement polish (ideally cartec 9000 or menzerna 3500, or flex 2 step polish) see how you get on, in an ideal world would be good to measure the paint first with a gauge but I’d assume you don’t have one, 3-5 passes see how it looks, if no joy grab a heavy cut pad and 2 stage it instead, 3-5 passes for each stage (heavy then refinement) as you see me do in these videos on here - where are you based bud?

@@DayOneDetailing dravit grey. Never used a machine before. Thanks

@@Mrmarriott2 thanks mate! I’ll only ever have a black car, nothing beats the gloss from them out of the sun and providing they’re swirl free look the nuts in the sun… people say they’re hard to keep clean but with a decent ceramic coating on them I’d disagree, thanks for the comment bud

Never looks as good on video 🥹 thanks bud

Thank you! 💕

Thank you! I’m based in Essex but I travel the whole of the UK for the right job 💪🏼

@@DaveBaldwin-i3b flex xtreme plus 👍 thank you!

Thank you! Because the rotary attachment on the pxe80 is only 1 inch in size, taking longer therefore to complete than with the 3 inch on the dedicated SPTA, also, I was being conscious of the battery on the pxe (I’m down to 1 batt atm) and given I was interchanging between the 2 throughout it doesn’t make sense time wise to keep changing over when I’ve got multiple machines at my sides. I also find sometimes it’s easier to get the best result on piano with the 3 inch head, personal preference in that sense. Although you can’t beat the pxe 1 inch rotary in areas like between the plastic grills on front bumpers, come into there own there.. you rocking a pxe too? 💪🏼

@@DayOneDetailing ahh I see! No brainer when running the 1 battery pack haha! Not atm bro, seriously considering snapping them up whilst their on offer, but tied between going for the New Rupes LHR15 MKV they’ve just released or the PXE 80 for the piano black trims and grills/plastics etc 🤔 mostly will depend on the price for the new rupes or if they put deals on the MK3 😬

Thank you buddy! The coatings I use are infinity wax ceramic coatings which have been designed for mobile use! Give them a go you’ll find them a joy to use! Whichever you go for send me a message and I’ll do what I can to offer you some advice based on temperatures and surroundings you’re dealing with! 👍 it can fluctuate.. try and enjoy it and don’t stress to much, it can always be rectified 💪🏼 do the necessary prep you’ll be fine! Where are you based? You too my friend

@@DayOneDetailing Thank you, I’ve gone for Gyeon MHOS, I made a list of all the prep to do, just waiting on a dry weather day now. Step 1 - Wheels/Tyres. Atom mac,Iron fall out/rinse/wash (also clean under wheel arch) Step 2 - Pre Wash. With a pre-cleaner or a pre-wash, bug remover... Step 3 - Snow Foam. ... use a soft brush for gaps, grills etc…. Step 4 - The Two Bucket Method Contact Wash. ... Step 5 - Decontamination. ... tar remover, rinse then iron fall-out, rinse Step 6 - clay bar including glass, lights. (If using chip-ex, apply now) Step 7 - Polishing Compounds. Step 8 - Panel wipe - wait 10 - 20 minutes for it to fully evaporate. (ADD CERAMIC COAT, LEAVE TO CURE IN GARAGE) (if ceramic coating) Step 9 - Wax or sealant. Step 10 - Sealant or wax. Step 11 - Glass. Step 12 - Polish/seal alloys. Treat tyres. Step 13 - interior. I’ll have a look at infinity wax, certainly looks awesome in the videos, thanks again for all the tips. I’m Worcestershire based. Wish me luck lol 😎🙌🏼

@@johnevans961 thank you!

Thanks geez! Looks so much better now 💪🏼

Thank you! Winds me up even now still alongside all the other things these cowboys are up to… I appreciate your kind words

Thanks mate! The subs will come I’ve not long been doing this 😁

You know! 💪🏼

@@basher1285 in theory, yes it would, however you must be careful as some APC’s can damage leathers and plastics as they’re a little too strong and not designed specially for that purpose, if your gonna use APC I’d recommend testing it somewhere first 👍 but my main advice is to use the dedicated product for it namely fresh interior for fabrics and plastics or leather cleanser on the leathers

Believe I was using flex & cartec compounds with a rupes pad, depending on which part of the world your in it’s pronounced differently in fairness 😅 heard Americans mostly say rup-es as you’ve suggested and brits saying ‘roopes’ 😅 one of those things I guess

Doesn’t matter if you’ve done it 6 minutes 6 weeks or 6 years there’s always something to learn from others 💪🏼💪🏼 glad you took something from myself matey! There will be an entire in depth series coming over the coming months dropping at the start of December, in depth how to’s on everything within detailing, including a very, very detailed post about machine polishing 👍 thanks for your comment mate

@@Cloud-yp4eh why’s that then? Its not a stiff brush it’s relatively soft and curved allowing me to stay away from the edges which you’d want it to avoid, have used this method on probably 50-100 vehicles over the course of 6 years and results have always been flawless… well used method by professionals like myself for years now 😅

@@willardr100 thanks mate 👍 I would agree, a relatively cheap option for hiding stone chips and adding some protection, I’d have preferred colour matched but this is what the customer ordered and wanted to I installed them 💪🏼 a valid point you’ve made about a workhorse vs weekend vehicle indeed

Wolverine & deadpool bud I’m sure of it 😅😭 least she sorted now tho..

Thank you!

Quality not quantity here 💪🏼

@@jennycarr6576 call your local scrapyard and see if they have any bonnets of your vehicle, buy one and practice on it ☺️ where are you based? Thank you!

@DayOneDetailing sorry the names James haha jenny is my wife. Newcastle pal! It's a black bmw 4 series I've got. Yeah great ideal 👌 I'll practice 1st thanks

@@jennycarr6576 Practise on the Mrs or mother in laws car first pal🤣🤣 good luck mate.👍

Thank you! Any questions ask away!

Thank you! A few years ago you’d have been correct, however nowadays new technology has meant that coatings can now cure outside and within 1 hour too, I use infinity wax ceramic coatings, lite & 2 can cure in less than an hour and be applicated outside providing it’s more than 5 degrees, less than 25 degrees and not raining during install and curation time 👍

@@DayOneDetailing That’s brilliant, thank you! Will go check them out.👍🏼

@@basher1285 if you order anything from them feel free to ask me any questions beforehand, use code DayOne at the checkout will save you some pennies too

@@DayOneDetailing that’s brilliant, thank you. Subscribed🙌🏼

@@basher1285 haha thanks buddy! Vm’s? You mean tn’s? 😁

@@DayOneDetailing oh they’re TN’s not VM’s, still down with the kids though ☺️

@@basher1285 oh yeah mate 100% - new pair of these every 3-4 months does me perfect although a bit nippy come winter months the waterproofs get rolled out 😅

@@MichaelVermylen have to complete a full safe wash and chemical decontamination again unfortunately, a PITA basically 😅

@@johnevans961 thank you! 💪🏼

Thanks matey

@@starrfpv8437 haha thank you! Plenty to come from me that’s for sure! Glad to have you!
