Did I say TH-cam's with a S??
Boy I can be so silly..lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Scott, question how many pads should I have per pad type? And how do you store and organize your pads? Please make a short video about it and any other important for beginners.
Quote , Im not going to worry about the power cord its only a junk yard hood. I can appreciate your remark but you maybe should show the absolute best way to start out the proper way.
As you have mentioned this video is to teach beginners. I like your vids, and find near all of views and opinion to be worthwhile. I hope I dont sound too critical. Your a good man, keep it up.
Scott, I just wanted to say thank you for this video, and your whole channel. I appreciate the realistic, no-nonsense approach. And I feel you really have the heart of a teacher. Just bought my first polisher and can’t wait to give it a go! Thanks again!

Finally here we have Detailer who won’t waste your time 💯
This guy rocks thanks
True
I’m going to practice on my wife’s car before I touch mine. Thank you for making my first step into the process that less scary!
Jacob Savage toooooo funny, I was thinking the same thing lol
Ahahahaa, I just bought my own polisher and I planned on practicing on my girlfriend car first also 😂
And she will practice her right to divorce on you
Lol honestly this was my plan too
Lol
Scott after watching your videos (especially this one) I started detailing cars and now have a discretionary income I never thought possible - thank you so much for having a massive impact on people like me :-)

I'm a bigginner who was very confused and he made it so simple to understand. Thanks a million
I love it when you recommend harbor freight tools for people with lower budget!!!
Not everyone needs an expensive tool if we only use it a few times!
I use the harbor freight d.a. polishers in my business. Theyre good for about a year and a half, even used every other day...
I had a shop tell me yesterday I don't use harbor freight tools 😂😂
I just bought one from harbor freight yesterday!
Thank you sir!!
I have purchased a lot of good tools from harbor freight, nothing wrong with that.
You have saved me from my paralysis. I wish I had seen this video before all the others which had me buying Meguiar's 105 and 205 and only then reading about the problems with using 105, the dusting, etc. With you telling us beginners that we can do a good job with Griot's Complete Compound, I bought it, used it with a green foam pad, and wow, the car looked great. I'm a raw beginner, 81 years old, detailing a 2000 BMW M Coupe in Imola Red. Of course, I preceded the polishing with a foam cannon, two bucket wash, Iron X, Nanoskin cloth for claying and ended with Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine. Yesterday I brought my car to the local BMW's dealer Octoberfest and got lots of compliments, although the compliments might have been for the relatively rare M Coupe, except if I had brought it in prior to the 9 hours it took me to detail it, I don't think I would have gotten as many compliments. Anyway, thanks for all your down to earth videos and your NY or NJ accent makes me feel like I'm home again after living in semi-rural PA for over 50 years.
turtle wax ice line is incredible
Top work! 👍👍 good on you mate, great choice of car too! 👍👍👍
Love and respect for you.
Hey, Marv. You need to buy a domestic car.
Glad to hear you still love cars and working on them!
beginners step 1 : practice on your wife's car.
I always test a new product on my wife's car, LOL.
I have a 16 year old. So his truck is the first victim. Then victim #2 is the wife’s suv. Then mine. 😁
Or your neighbors. When they r not home
The most concise, to-the-point polishing tutorial I've found yet. Thanks!
Brother you nail it again. We beginners stare at the paint scare shit of it. Thanks again. Greetings from the Dominican Republic.

Between you and Pan The Organizer, y’all both have been awesome for the beginner in me. Thanks!
Thank you, Scott. Your plain-speaking teaching method inspired me to try paint correction and I can tell you, the results have been far better than I imagined. The initial hesitation, perhaps fear of ruining the paint, soon disappeared just as you predicted. Thanks for what you do.
This video is the one to watch.. it is breakthrough and simplifies what everybody else is making super complicated.
One of your best videos ever, and you have great videos. If only more guys were like you. I believe you genuinely want and try to help us! Thank you Scott!!
Thanks Scott! I was in this place about 2 months ago. Your videos gave me the confidence to touch my paint with a DA. Still haven't quite gotten great at it, but your videos really teach me a lot.
Scott I just came across this video and have to say thanks for reminding me that as a beginner of anything is overwhelming but you just have to start and get into it. You broke the process down to its basics for me and that helped tremendously. Thank you!
This is the kind of videos I like to see on here! Ones that truly help out people that don’t know what they are doing! Scott thank you for being an upstanding honest individual!
So incredibly happy I found your channel! I have a serious love of cars, but my usual car care involves a wiping down the interior and at most a clay bar/wax for the outside. I really enjoy how easy going and accessible you are! It really helps out for folks like me who are trying to get a better understanding of all this stuff!
This was the best video I ever watched. Thank god someone can answer a basic question for us rookies. Amazing.
The best I’ve seen for a beginner. Well done Scott. Too many others never explain the basics or what all the different pads are about. As you say, we all have to start somewhere. Thank you.
Well Thanks 👍
That just saved me 13 minutes.
You’re the man, Scott 👍🏻 thank you for giving of your time
"If you follow everything I tell you, you will get great results". This is a true statement. My detailing has grown from a 3 to nearly an 8. Great info always Scott!
I’ve been a car buff for the majority of my life. At 63 years old I’ve owned Audi’s, Chevrolet’s, Subaru’s and Porsche’s. The last time I used a buffer on my car was in the early 90s. The buffer I attempted to use then was a one speed monster and the bonnet was attached to the buffer with a band of elastic. A real POS. I got tired of seeing the swirl marks in my Glacier White paint on my current car, so I ordered a buffer through Amazon with Griots Complete Compond. I watched your video. Thank you! The car looks amazing. No more swirl marks. The days of hand waxing are over for me.
Scott lol Man I love love love your approach to making people feel at ease doing paint correction, I’m a newbie myself but been reading about everything detailing /ppf/ceramic etc but I’m never ever gonna say I’ve mastered everything. I just wanna say that we need more people like you on TH-cam enjoying what you do and making others enjoy this awesome hobby/Job etc… like I said I wanna learn as much as I can to do a little moonlighting out of my garage and people like you have given me the knowledge I have now , so hats off to you and keep up the great work… first video I saw from you by the way and I’m gonna watch more brutha
Great advice!! Thank you for taking the time to FINALLY show a simple breakdown of a polishing process.
You gave me the confidence to start polishing for the first time! Thanks 👍
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for, you demystified greatly. The beginner needs the basics and to do it correctly. Those two things TOGETHER are infinitely better than doing.
Thank you. Simple, straight forward and honest. Thank you!
Hands down the best detailing explanations channel on TH-cam. It's always a pleasure listen someone who really knows the job 👍👏
YASSSSSSS! MORE BEGINNER VIDS!!! 🤗
BTW ty for remembering us newbies. Love your channel
Omgosh! THANK YOU. I have been so held up by this. You made this SO SO simple to understand, you used 1 product an you wasn't trying to confuse anyone but get the meat of it. I look forward to watching more of your videos! This was a huge help.
If you've ever had someone out in the yard trying to share their wisdom and knowledge with you about how to do something, you'll understand how much value these videos carry.
I would like to add, being a beginner myself. Make sure you wash the area your going to be correcting / polishing 1st.
I would even recommend using a clay bar, or clay mitt type of thing to remove surface particles before polishing.
If your going to be doing this outside, as most of us will, you will get better results in the shade.
Direct sunlight in the summer will make your panel very hot, and evaporate the lubricant in the compound faster,
making the compound harder to take off.
Yes Scott you have awnser my prayers!
I still love this video and come back and watch it every spring.......
Thanks Scott. Your truthfulness is truly refreshing. I followed your advice and just did my 09' Challenger R/T. After years of going through car washes the clear coat was a mess. Now it looks like it's right out of the showroom. Can't recommend this enough for beginners like me.👍👍
Thanks dude youve put everything about buffing at ease ive been forever looking for the perfect combo but now youve showed me that its not about how much you spend on the product its how you use it thank you
I was lucky to get that fear out in high school in autobody repair class. The one important rule I was taught was when running a buffer or polisher to make sure the pad is running off the edges and not into them. Keep the pad in motion like scott said. Oh, and dont use too much product in one shot. That stuff will fling everywhere and cause you more clean up than you need. Scot I love your channel, I've learned some great thing from you. When you decide to quit doing this you'll be missed for sure
Car Maniac125 jnn
dope ,my school didn't have that lol
Thanks, Scott. I had never used a polisher before but I followed your directions and got amazing results on my 2016 race-red Mustang. It now glows like a hot poker!
Always appreciate a DIY video that is direct and to the point and loaded with helpful information about the topic.
I wish I could press thumbs up twice! Thank you, great video for us weekend detail warriors.
Another great video showing technique while building confidence in us beginners. Thanks for putting this out.
I love this guy! Love that east coast accent. Not only have a learned how to do paint correction for my older cars, but I've also enjoyed watching the polishing- so therapeutic!! Thanks Scott!!
My 2006 midnight blue metallic Odyssey minivan went through a repaint because the crappy Honda paint was peeling off the hood and roof. I still see other cars of the same year and color around my neighborhood painstakingly continue to drive around their vans and don't want to spend the cash in having their family-hauler repainted. We have been victims of Honda's crappy water-based paint that they unfortunately used on their vehicles. Luckily I had a local Maaco repaint my van for less than $2500 with stellar results (far more less expensive than 10K from other shops). Now I want to take the steps in caring for my van and the paint. This is how I want to do it. I owe it to the old van who's taken me and my family around places for many years. I don't have a garage and it sits outside all the time in the sun, but hoping a little polishing and correction will help it with being out there against the elements. I plan to do a clay-bar first after a car wash before I do the correction/polishing. I'm putting together a wish-list of the equipment I need to buy before tackling this weekend-warrior project.
Scott. Your videos rock! I started with interior auto detailing and your auto body detailing videos have really taught me a lot. Thank you!
Thanks as always Scott, appreciate your frankness and professionalism. I like that you really want other people to get into the hobby (and/or profession!) of car detailing and are very generous with your time and experience. Cheers
I started working for a detailing company about a year ago and I can say that at first it’s intimidating to polish a car but over the time you get the hang of it and it isn’t as complicated as you think. So if you want to start doing this to your own car, go for it.
I think I can I think I can!
Thank you for this. So easy to get completely overwhelmed by the choices & back and forth. Very simple place to start.
I first watched this video almost 2 years ago. Today, I am going to follow your guide and polish my car for the first time. Thank you Scott for the encouragement.
Amazing video, incredibly helpful. Thank you my dude. Take care.
In my world, I believe this is far and away the best video you have made in your world. Thank you.
Scott I've been checking your videos out off and on for a year now and other pro's out also hands down you are the most step by step guy out there and that's what a beginner like myself needs thanks for clearing this up for me . take care thanks again brother!!
I've worked a buffer since '83 and it was refreshing to hear what you had to say. Straight, honest, and to the point without BS. Bravo sir. Thank You!
I started my mobile detail business 5 months ago in El Paso, I wouldnt say I'm a beginner, but not an expert. Just a Thank you for your videos and knowledge you share with us in the detail world!
how do i remove the oxidation to the paint if my clear coat is gone. on the roof the last chip of clear coat is almost done flaking off and the hood and trunk are fading and turning white
@@budlight2969 at that point you have to repaint the area or the car depending how bad it is. The point of polishing is if you have clear coat to polish since that’s what holds the scratches and the swirls and it’s what makes your paint look shiny and hold paint protection.
Today i took a class about polishing 101, tnx Scott
Beautiful walkthrough Scott.
That's amazing coming from you thank you for helping us.
Thanks Scott - I’ve got all the detailing stuff except for paint correction because it does scare me. This video really helped!
Thank you for this! My grandpa just gifted me a polisher and I had no idea how to use it 😂You explained it very simple!
Thank you, Scott. You're videos are terrific.
Thanks fo all the emphaty you showed for all of us the beginners! 👏🏻🙏🏻
This video is awesome! Thank you for being so straight forward, I did this last weekend, and the result turned out to be amazing; This video definitely give me more confidence as a beginner, before I was scare to polish because I don't wanna messed up my paint. I got the griot's complete compound and also got Sonax Cut&Finish; I ended up only using Sonax with Maxshine yellow pad which the method he taught in the video, my Challenger turned out so shine like a mirror.
Thank you Scott for using a dark color for your demonstration.
Gave me the confidence to start this week! Thanks Scott!!
So awesome of you to make this video Thank you very much!
I'm a beginner! Scott was terrific and and broke things down to steps, explained which pads to use when, how much pressure to exert on the polisher for different pads and importantly when to advance. I learned a great deal and am much more confident! Thanks.
You would make an excellent Trades teacher!
You have such a patient teaching virtue !
While you show teaching examples of how to do it , you are also explaining reasons for your proper technique and how to come out with an outstanding end result!
Your just kicks ass dude i feel like your talking directly too me and you keep me very engaged
Thanks Scott, love your videos. You do ramble sometimes but hey! You inspire me. I am now ready to take the plunge and purchase my first polisher kit and start detailing my vehicles. Cheers and keep up the good work!
I have watched a LOT of TH-cam videos. This is the best help that I have gotten!!!! THANK YOU!!!
finally I really understand a lot of things that had me going crazy, thanx buddy!
Legit this made me feel so much more comfortable with the idea of doing paint correction. B/c i watch you and others and its so complex i felt like i would mess up the paint
Without a doubt the best video out there for beginners. Simple and easy to follow with excellent results. I just painted my first motorcycle helmet and a little bit of dust got in the clear and very slight orange peel. I lightly wet sanded with 2000 grit then followed the steps in this video and it came out awesome!
Thank God for somebody who finally made it simple.
Extremely helpful video! and I appreciate the fatherly love coming through too haha
thanks for this vid scott. very down to earth and inspired me to go out and get going!!! subbed 👌
That’s just what I needed to hear and see Scott. Thank you.
Thanks Scott for that class!
You're the man!!!...
Thank you for keeping it SIMPLE for this (new car) weekend detailing warrior!
Aaaaaaaand you earn a sub. Heart of a teacher. Thank you for the knowledge and encouragement!
Great video. I tried this technique over the weekend and, just like you said, got amazing results. My 20 year old car looks new again. Thanks Scott!
Thank you for your great advice Scott
Thanks nice tutorial fast and easy 🇵🇷🔥
I know you'll probably never see this. But I have a 2004 Dodge Stratus Coupe RT with a cheap black maaco paint job.
I followed this exactly and my paint turned out amazing. I had bad swirling and a haze to the car and it looks like a mirror now! I was nervous to do it but this was very easy but very time consuming! Thank you again
best thing in the world is when you have a good teacher, and you are. Thanks for the video
Thanks for not wasting people's time. Appreciate your breakdown and will stick with you on the other videos. The internet sucks now a days. Appreciate you.
your honesty and how direct you address us sold me, I'm following you
Great Video Scott!! Inspired me to start detailing my own car
Thanks Scott for the encouragement and this episode, which addresses many of the usual questions and fears of beginners as myself. Now, I'm looking forward to getting started.
This guy is great, he focuses on me us the beginners and put all the battling against the pros and I really appreciate that, your a true person and a professionally, and i was afraid to do this before watching your video, I didn’t want to burn or get swirl marks, Thank You, hey will this help our Military Vehicles, yes I want the best looking one, lol keep up the good work Bud,
This is going to help me forever. Right now I have an early 90's Sunbird and I want to know how bright I can get that red to shine.
Thank, Scott for making this HELPFUL video. Lots of people needed to hear what you've had to say like myself! Question...how many pads do you need to polish a mid-sized sedan?
After countless videos I finally found the F*%#*%g video that keeps it simple and to the point. Props you gained a subscriber
I learned a good amount from watching and Scott but also Apex detail is another good Channel to watch. I also mention Scott's name on apex's Channel as well. Between the two I have done 5 cars and total and they turned out very well.
The eabster..exactly right Apex Detailing works magic on paint and yes he does show comparison with different grit sandpaper scratches on a panel. I think that is informative.
I would 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍ten thumbs up Scott thanks man for the information love it!!!!
Hi Scott, after viewing this video, I now am confident and not afraid of polishing my beautiful classic 67 Mustang Gt. Mostly removing various medium scratches from the hood and top of fenders. After those results, will do the whole car. Thanks for your simple no BS approach to get us newbies started. Blessings and cheers from Motown/Dearborn.
I just want to say thank you for this video. I have never polished a vehicle with a polisher. After watching this video I picked up everything I needed and I machine polished my brand new black F-150. It looks amazing. Again thank you for taking the time to help others like me.
I love you Scott, I am intimidated by even starting with a polisher and you cleared some things up. Videos from you and others are great information but can still feel overwhelming to digest. This feels like a great beginner approach. Thank you good sir.
hahaha I love this guy . "holy crap I think im a pro" lol
Good stuff. Very straight and informative. Love when people explain their professions and the reasons behind their methods, keep up the good work brother!
First time you said "stop listening to us pros" I stopped, did it my way and it turned out bloody great 👍
