I've watched your videos for about a year or a year and a half, I believe you are one of the best and most perfectionist detailers in my eyes, everything is done properly, safely and simply perfect, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I wish you a fast recovery after back injury, regards from Lithuania, Europe!
Thank you my friend!
Hope you get released soon and a quick recovery! All of us appreciate you, and you sharing your wealth of knowledge
Thank you for such amazing content.
Excellent video Sandro.
Got my CCAD fix! Thanks, Sandro. I hope you're well, and your injury improves completely. Looking forward to your next classroom session, Professor.
Mnogo bazarish
Sandro you Are Da Best!!!
Great episode Sandro 👍🏻
Amazing
Beautiful job. Looks awesome 👍
Thank you for the excellent training was excellent
Always a pleasure to see your videos Sandro!
Amazing video! Thank you so much. Greetings from Brazil!
Going back and commenting on old videos just because you earn it every time!!!
🙂
Non sense of bad editing, we follow you of your content and absolutely great detailing with explanations.
Wishing you and your family well
You got it. We would watch any damn thing he posted.
He needs to stop.
Great video Sandro! Glad you touched on ISP mix for a panel wipe. It’s why I stopped using it because it can swell the paint and or soften it.
Amazing video and inspirational as always. Thank you buddy 🙌
awesome job.👍👍👍👍👍
great vid, hope your back gets better soon.
Love the background music! So upbeat and uplifting. I learnt something and felt happy about, you sneaky bastard! 🤣👌🏻
I think it's the perfect video for everyone. If you don't want your car to end up like this , maintain its life that .... or you end up doing this . Alot of work . Your videos are levels above alot of detailers out there , that just are you tubers. Your a full package
Great job
great video and great info keep it up
Hey Sandro! Hopefully your back heals up well. One of these days, could you do a video about what you’d recommend for going to an auto parts store and getting a whole detail setup from there? I have some solid ideas for meguiars, griots, mothers, and chemical guys but the majority of customers I deal with want a little more of a streamlined setup from start to finish and don’t like making the extra trip elsewhere or don’t want to go to a automotive detail supplier. Thank you!
I also really appreciate what you do in these videos. I’ve learned a lot from you about different techniques and having to slow my roll. It’s really starting to make a difference in my car as well as my families cars
Wow, so much knowledge and practical wisdom. You're such a great teacher, Sandro! Thank you for all you do!
Great Video.
Great video Maestro... I have a lot of things to learn 😮😢😅😂 ❤. Greetings from Monterrey México.
Lol... im literally binge watching CCAD 🔥🔥🔥
Sick brother 👍👍👍
I love the fact your a detailers, detailer. It’s the fanatical attention to perfection, at least to deliver the best quality of work within the budget your client has allowed. Very insightful and instructive.
Hey Sandro I just want to take a moment of your time to tell you how amazing and informative your videos truly are .I really believe you are pioneer of making the detailing world a better place and you have personally inspired myself to hone in on my skills as a detailer.ive been in body shop detailing for 14 years now but my true passion is full details .my wife and i are planning our own self employed business next year. Watching your incredible videos /transformations is so satisfying and makes this dream of ours ever more possible. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to this craft .it's greatly appreciated and I can't wait to see your future videos 👍😊
Thanks mate, it’s really nice to hear that and I wish you and your wife the very best success with the future business!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you that means a lot ☺️👍
Some great generalized points here, along with helpful background explanations. Thank you, Sir, and wishing you a speedy recovery
Always love your video. I watch every minutes of it even its a long one. Informative and clear explanation. straight to the point and not over explaining. Easy to understand even for me whom not use to speak english daily. Good job 👍🏻
I’m sorry about your back Sandro. I hope you feel better soon. I love your content. Thank you for everything.
Thanks, really appreciate that mate.
i like the Lake Country Lamb wool pads when the paint permits it! testing is a must and watching your videos has refined my approach to testing pads/products combo etc... ;-)
I liked the video. I hope you feel better soon. I had a very painful back injury. It's no fun.
Thanks mate!
Check out the suttner Sprayer with pressure tank
Spring is springing here and some Sandro to get me excited is great! In this upside down world we are in at the moment, it is nice to be able to do something to bring at least a little beauty back into things. Even if it is fleeting and a little shallow to some.
Great video Sandro you are brave saying holden as it may cause a rumble lol This is invaluable information. When i do training and explain machine polshing I always finish with now you know the basic 4 pass method its up to you to asess your resutls and change speed pressure pads and compounds as there are more variables than i can cover in a few hours of training so learning is always ongoing. Detailing for me is about trusting yourself and being honest about you ability but most of all we learn from our mistakes so we are improving with every detail Keep a open mind its more of a journey Never stop learning or we will stand still If you are not WILLING to LEARN no one can HELP you If you are DETERMEND to LEARN no one can stop you IN Sandro we trust
Thanks Bob, we’re always learning and sometimes just learning how to better teach another is a great lesson on its own
I appreciate you, I love watching your videos . I know how time consuming detailing is let along making these videos. You’re the best.
Such an incredible video on every aspect. Seems to be an overarching theme of PATIENCE. local car washes are not paid for the patience required to get an awesome result. A pro detailer should be as patient as possible when running into issues trying to get them their car back lookin gorgeous in a timely manner. Love you Sandrooooooo
Get well soon my man, great informative and thoughtful videos packed full of nuggets.
Hope u get better soon.
Sandro, I love and resonate with what you said at the end (36:00 and on) Regarding the washing methods, I've always just used ONE bucket (and don't fill it with 4 or 5 friggin' gallons, 1-2 gallons are enough) with a chenille mitt and hose down the mitt super often. With that method, my rinse water never gets dirty and I've kept my daily driver nearly 100% swirl free for years at a time in between polishes (more like 90% swirl free now after 3 years, and the few it does have will come out with a finishing polish). It's all about awareness and common sense. As for the polishing part with the polishing technique and how many passes etc: I just keep it natural and simple. I learned how to polish cars by trial and error, before hopping on youtube and having this amazing library of top notch teachers was a thing. Point is, it puzzles me how so many people (maybe most) focus on the wrong details. I see them asking online (forums, youtube comments, etc) how many passes did you/should I make? how much pressure did you apply, what pads and polish did you use, was it soft or hard clear, etc. Another huge pet peeve of mine is the whole crosshatching your work thing. Both in polishing and applying coatings. You don't HAVE to crosshatch when you polish to get results. That's just ONE of the ways you can polish and just so happens to be "the method" that stuck and everybody follows such as to supposedly help you not miss spots and be more even. Truth is, I don't count my passes, and I don't crosshatch my work, I've developed a rythm for polishing and just polish an area till I feel the set is done. In some areas I'll go left to right, overlapping each pass over the last one as I keep moving it down or back up. Some other times I'll go from left to right, then back left and back right in that same area, and then I'll move down below that area and do the same thing and repeat till I've polished a section. If I'm polishing a tight channel, like the pillar that runs all the way from the bonnet and goes back and ends up turning into the rear quarter panel, I"ll just polish that thing left and right, as it's likely the same size as my 3" or 4" pad, or smaller. I've literally seen people crosshatching that tiny little area wasting time and being counterproductive. In some areas I'll polish left to right then to back to another part and polish in triangles, or whatever the shape of the surface I'm polishing may be. Adapt to the panels. 41:15 Is a great example of what I mean. A lot of people would have gone left to right and then crosshatched between the two faces (the horizontal portion and the vertical portion) when it's completely unnecessary and would put undue stress on the sharp edge of the turn. Sandro instead used his common sense and went side to side. You gotta learn from your teachers if you didn't teach yourself, but you also gotta ask yourself the why behind something, whether it's appropriate to do at the moment or if it's at all necessary. Don't be afraid to do some critical thinking and challenge the norm if you think there's reason to. Experiment different ways to do things. Like the saying goes; there's more than one way to skin a cat. Another thing I'd like to add while we're in the topic of challenging the norm, did you know you can just buy a big, 32oz bottle of Stoner Invisible glass for 5 bucks and use it to remove polishing oils prior to installing a coating or just your favorite wax/sealant? Yup, you don't need to spend 24 bucks (over 4x the cost for the same amount) for a bottle of CarPro Eraser, Gyeon Prep or one of their many equivalents from so many detailing brands. I've been using it for years with great success. I mean think about it, it's meant to clean glass, where the objective is to remove oils and grease from the skin of people touching it, AND it has to leave behind ZERO residue, or else you'll see it because it's... well it's glass, so it's completely transparent and every little bit of residue is easily visible. It's ammonia free and I've never had any issues with it (Don't go grabbing a bottle of Windex cuz it's not the same! That stuff has ammonia and it's super harsh!). It's funny because everybody that uses Eraser or equivalents always rave about how amazing it is on glass and I've always been like of COURSE it's great on glass, it IS a glorified, overpriced glass cleaner that the detailing industry took advantage of, slapped a label of smoke and mirrors and marketed it disingenuously with lies. They say they remove waxes and sealants when they clearly don't, etc. This rant is already massive enough and I should have just made a forum post about it. If you made it this far, god bless your soul and I'm sorry, I wrote it all so quickly that I didn't notice how long it was!
Haha made it all the way to the end and I think your comment really highlights what this whole video was about, which is there are many ways of doing things, you find what works best for you and you use a little experience and common sense to your approach. I think beginners will have all those nuanced questions due to lack of experience which is completely understandable but as with all things in life the answers lie in your ability to seek them out through self learning rather than being provided with answers that don’t give you the whole picture.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Sweet! Yup, you totally get it. I could literally go on for hours talking about this and could also rant for hours (though that might be tiring) about misguidance from experts AND the bad tactics I see in the detailing industry all to make a quick buck and/or insane margins off of basically people’s emotions and desires.
Great video. At 28 minutes, great song! Nice to hear African music on here
A great re-fresher for the season coming up, thanks again Sandro
Even a couple years ago your tape game is top notch! You can tell you always take great care in the vehicles you see even if they are just in for "testing purposes".
Sandro, love the content brother, very informative and i manage to always pick up a tip or two through your videos. As a detailer whom has attempted to record the entire detailing process from washing the wheels to final inspection on a ceramic coating project, I understand the amount of time that it requires to move equipment around, stage the perfect angle for a shot, capture great footage of the B&A's, etc..(and having only uploaded one of many videos I've attempted, due to gaps in video recordings) I appreciate your thoroughness in these videos. With that said, the IK Foam Pro 12 can be compressed via an air compressor via the built in Schrader valve. So for those that have an air compressor (even just a small gallon sized one), there's no need to work those muscles unless you want to. Just wanted to hopefully share something with YOU this time around. Cheers all the way from Evans, Georgia
Firstly hope you recover and get well soon , and your worried about your editing - your going on like Hollywood is going to check the editing 😃 have you seen other TH-cam videos 😮 your editing is great you are showing and giving more than required, as for detailing it's car weather and conditions (indoor/outdoor) dependant,you then decide how and follow the process knowing that you may need to adjust or change : again car weather , conditions tools and product dependant, I'm a weekend warrior/friends and family etc and have taken lots from your videos and several others in the game 😎 your videos are great 👏💪👍 you - white details , forensic details, apex details and a few others are in your own class 🏎 and don't forget it doesn't need to be Hollywood blockbuster 👌
Great channel. You give quality objective advice consistently. Great shit man!
Thanks for another fantastic video, Sandro. I hope your back is feeling better soon.
Thank you mate!
Hi There Professor !
Hope This Finds You Well Better and Hopefully, Ready To Be Back to Work 🙏🏼
I Always Learn From Your Work and Videos, Which I Consider Master Classes !
Since The Most Simple, Like “Water” To Cool Car Surfaces Or More Analytical Actions
Like To Observe IPA Dilution To Improve The Paint Correction Result.
Many Thanks Professor !
Take Care !
👍🏽👍🏼👍🏽🙏🏼🌿
Hi Sir I'm from in Kochi Kerala . big fan ur videos . Ijust do Car Detialing 🚗 🙌
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪👍
Video was great that Holden Paint was rough at least sad that you couldn't finish it to the best it could look. Wish you a speedy recovery all the best
Duder, heel up !!
I feel the pain. Not sure what you have going on wit the back ? but hope its a minor set back. I broke mine yrs ago, a forever process of healing the way mine worked out. But blessed to be here. Take away something positive from it. HEALTH n FAMILY is light.
Thank you for posting a nothing life changing video, each series is better then the next. Your entire mindset is radical bro. The entire process is flawless. Your ability to TEACH is top notch. Im forever thankful for your time and words. The knowledge you are sharing will not go unappreciated . Much AloHa !! Lets fuckkkkking goooooo !
Thank you mate, really nice reading that and faith, family and health is without a doubt the upmost importance.
Im Hooked!!
Happy Easter Sandro and wish you get back to track with your back))))) as quick as possible. When I having issues with my body, I am sure this is my body yelling me it need to relax, so take it easy Sandro if possible of course.
Just to add a previous comment from Povilas, I am not only watching you over 4 years, but can honestly say was teached by you and your videos!!! Thank you for this very-very much!
It was so obvious you made this video earlier as we all can see how far you have went with your filming/additing skills, so good you told that at the beginning)))
You are absolutely right, you teached me this and I want to confirm - different technics should be used in different countries, states, regions, climates as we all have different temperature, humidity and different national physical factors which make influence to even normal wash and of course the huge impact to the maintenance and paint correction. I am for example is pushed to use Tar-X every wash during winter time as majority of road users are using spike winter tires and all my white colour beauty is full of tar and bitumen, etc, etc.
Great video anyway Sandro and I appreciate your talks, comments and advices.
Be healthy and keep you in good shape, we want new videos)
Cheers from sunny Sweden.
Thank you my Swedish friend and I am taking it easy to help the recovery. You’re completely right in that we all need to adapt to our environments and adapt to the car we are detailing and our end goal, it’s all very important and should change the way we detail to best service our very specific needs and wants.
Happy Easter to you and your family Sandro. Thanks for another truly informative video. Your bad back may be temporarily affecting your ability to detail, but it hasn't affected your ability to teach others. I really appreciate the tip about diluting down IPA solutions when working on soft, black paint jobs, or using a primer polish. It seems some soft, black paints will mar if you breath on them too hard. I also really enjoyed the spot correction work you performed, as well as the contrasting of polished exterior glass vs. unpolished exterior glass (the microfiber towel sticking to the contaminants on the unpolished side and sliding off the polished side). Hope you're feeling better soon. Cheers.
Thank you mate, really glad you enjoyed it and wishing you a very Happy Easter!
No body does it better
Great video Sandro! I have learned so much. I will be attempting to do my first paint correction on my daily driver and your video help explain a lot of questions I had. I will be watching more of your tutorials.
Cheers mate.👍
Really nice to hear that and I’m sure you’re going to do great!
Pontiac G8 in the US. Another Aussie gem brought over to the States thx to GM.
I was still working at our local Holden dealer during those times , the G8 front was a no cost option on our SS Commodore to..
Our dealership closed in 2011 ..
Back injuries are not something to mess around with! My wife currently has a herniated disc in her spine and it is terrible. Please take care of yourself and get plenty of rest!
I couldn’t agree more and I hope your wife feels better soon mate!
Ah Sandro at it again! Have certainly given some amazing tips, touched on some great points and as always giving a great end product of your professional insight. I my self consider myself to be a professional car detailer and even I come here to find more useful and amazing tips. It’s amazing what you can learn so thank you again for an amazing video and I hope your injury improves and you can get back to work soon mate. All the best and happy Easter :)
Thank you and wishing you and your family and very Happy Easter
As always Sandro, you underpromise and overdeliver. All you have to do is crank-out a video; we’re going to enjoy it and benefit from it. Great music selection. Gotta point us to your top 50 tracks! 🙂
Lots going on in my neck of the woods, and it’s as up-and-down as you can imagine. All good stuff, because as soldiers say, “I’m in the fight.” The horn project got another 27 instruments added to it, with a crazy deadline that you know I’ll meet. But with a household full of sick family members…it complicates everything. So I’m feeling the frustrations you have of throwing-out a back.
Keep your vision of your very best future, and take your time getting there. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. 😉 I’ll email you soon.
Sounds like a very hectic period for you right now mate, hope you and the family get better soon and I know you’ll come out the other end doing just great! Look forward to the email!
You make the Mille look so smooth and easy to use. Most other videos, I see it jumping around or really wanting to walk.
Every machine is a little different and always requires a bit of technique adjustment, that doesn’t mean it’ll never jump especially during a lack of concentration moment or around some really dramatic curves or crevices, but if you invest in getting a better feel for it you will generally have a much nicer experience and better results from it. It just takes some time and a willingness to become better with it.
what do you think about putting say half a dozen microfiber towels into your clean soap bucket and wipe down a panel starting from top working your way down (in case of door) wash window then flip towel to clean side and continue down doing same process to all panels should use up all the towels in the soap bucket. Seen this one on Gary Deans' channel. Is a way to wash car with only one bucket and saves time having to continually rinse a wash mit.
I think it could potentially work well, but I personally prefer using mitts/pads as the inner foam tends to be more gentle and evens out the pressure of your hand/fingers to further help reduce swirls and mitts/pads just glide over paint more easily compared to wet cloths that tend to be a little harsher, grippier and heavier.
I just thing the inner foam has many benefits, but I guess it’s really just the multi-mitt method using cloths instead.
The other day I did a light polish on the 2008 SAAB headlights .
It was a small discoloration but it turned out really well.
Okay
Great to hear that, we’ll done!
Sim 🚗👏👏👏👏👏💪
Hey Sandro mate amazing explanations as always. I believe that one of the main confusing subjects about detailing ia performing a test spot. There are so many variables. You say always to start with the least aggressive method but you can start with least aggressive polish + pad. You can combina a polish with : hard foam, microfiber, wool, medium foam. The change polish and cha ge again pads... I don't know if you get me... If you do, what's a good advice? Because one can finish an entire bottle just testing pads and Compounds 😂
I say start with the least aggressive method that has the potential to work, so that will be different depending on how bad the paint is to start with. So a little past experience helps you avoid using a whole bottle as well as using your test results to make judgment calls to help you progress much quicker to the winning combination. Just like everything in life, you need to assess and use all the information and your past experience to find the best solution.
Firstly, thank you so much for your content! I have learned so much knowledge from you. Im curious to know how you set up your scangrip ceiling lights? As far as i can see, they are all rechargeable ones when i search them? How have you connected them all to the mains and do you have a universal switch for them all? Thank you!
My pleasure mate. That was my old shop, and they were Hella Nova Lights (also a brand owned by ScanGrip). Those lights weren’t battery powered and they were hard wired by an electrician on six seperate light switches so they could be turned on and off in sets.
You are real. Thanks for your content.
Are you using a Mille? Why you chose that one?
Yes it was the Mille and I’m still a big fan of that machine as it’s got great cutting and finish abilities
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I love mine too. I am a fan of your work and your work shop. Hello from Puerto Rico.
Hi! Any reasoning for going with the mille forced rotation instead of a random DA for most of the surfaces? 😊
No particular reason, mainly just personal preference which is every changing
Sandro, can you please tell me what you think of applying an Iron Remover on rims first, then rinsing off and then applying a wheel cleaning product like Brake Buster to clean the rim? Or should the rim be cleaned first, rinsed and the Iron Remover applied last(then rinsed)? I notice much more iron showing up when I use the first method as compared to the 2nd method.
More iron ( bleeding ) will show up if you haven't rinsed first because rinsing removes the loose brake dust particles which is why your getting more of a reaction with your first method.
Brake buster is a good product and can be diluted to take some of the aggression out of it, i don't think you need ironX if you're using brake buster because there kinda the same..
To rinse first or not to rinse first is up to you and the how dirty your wheels are, there is no right or wrong if your getting the results you want, just make sure your wheels are cold..
One more thing , don't get to much ironX or brake buster down behind the back of the brake rotor because it can cause the hand brake pads inside to literally stick themselves to the inside of the rotor if the vehicle has been sitting for a day or so after washing with the handbrake on damaging the hand brake pads when the car is moved ... i did it to my own car accidentally once, lesson learned..
The purple colour reaction is not always the best indication of how well a wheel/iron remover works, it’s just one indication, the cleanliness of the wheel should be the ultimate judgement. I honestly think you can use either of the two process - there’s pro and cons both ways and not a clearly better way- but I’d just be sure to include a pre-rinse before you physically clean the rims with brushes regardless of whether you use the chemical before or after that rinse as to reduce wash induced swirls.
Insane result !
How many hours for the polishing steps?
Well I only got half way through the car and spent a couple of days doing all the testing and correction work.
*13:30** What I don't understand... all the polishing and compounding doesn't remove the iron contamination?*
In many cases you’ll just be slowly polishing down that contamination rather than lifting it off - that’s why automotive clay was created because those particles aren’t easily removed in any other way.
After the pases on the bonnet how did you refine after to remove the hazing? Genuine question im not sure what's best to refine when I've removed the swirls
On that car I was using multiple different compounds, polishes and pads with multiple different techniques for testing and data collection purposes. Have a look at almost anyone of my detailing vlogs in you want to see and hear a more specific demonstration discussing exactly what I used and how I used it.
This video could also be helpful:
th-cam.com/video/6tepA3wjPbY/w-d-xo.html
Hi Sandro, another superbly produced video. Got a bit confused as the pad explanation came quite a while after the actual pad section testing. Did you compound with wool pad and finish polish with yellow foam? Thanks
He was doing product testing with a general explanation, Sandro has some great video's on polishing if you search on his channel..
Yes, as Paul mentioned it was really a mixed bag of testing on that car as far as pad and compound section went
I appreciate the video was not intended as a full tutorial, and I appreciate that the section testing was a mixed bag; I was just asking what final combo you went for to produce the end result.
I used a few different combinations to polish different panels and was just comparing results and assessing the products I was testing.
Hey Sandro. Have you had to have your ibrid repaired? I hardly use mine and it’s broken again (2nd time)
Sorry to hear that mate but no, my first one latest over 5yrs without issue and I used the heck out of it, I’ve had my second one for about a year now and it’s fine so far.
Which car brand paint is the best and worst to work with?
Is honda paint particularly sensitive
Black Honda paint is up there with the most sensitive and difficult, Nissan as well and if you go back to older single stage paints, the Italian sports cars of past eras were very tricky to correct well, and some of the new Euro ceramic clears are ridiculously hard and also very difficult to remove defects. Toyota tends to be decent to work with, blue Subaru is one of my favourites and a lot of late 90s to mid 2000s Euro cars had nice paint that wasn’t as super hard as it is today. But it’s really all just generalisations as anything can go with any car manufacturer.
Hi sandro, i somehow missed seeing this video when it came out. Nice job. Got a question for you. I watched another detailing channel's video and they put a few drops of a medium cut compound and a couple of drops of a fine finishing polish together on the same pad. Whats your thoughts on this? Is this any different than using a good one step polish? Is it like creating your own one step by choosing your favourite cutting compound and finishing polish? Thx in advance
Combining different compounds and polishes is something I’ve done in the past but honestly not something I do very often. It just adds another variable you have to contend with in mixing and making sure you stay consistent. Like you mentioned, a good one step should already have both good cutting and finishing qualities so I’d much rather find a compound that has this rather than mixing cocktails on the pad.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks mate. Makes sense. Can i ask one more thing please? I bought a small bottle of rupes uno protect and just wondering, as it is an AIO with protection for up to 3 months, would you be able to apply lustre as a topper or would it not bond properly due to the fillers and protection in uno protect? Thx again
Although Lustre will bond more effectively to bare paint it also tends to bond to almost any surface rather well so I’d expect it to work well over Uno Protect.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing appreciate your time mate
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you to 😃
Wishing you a very happy Easter!
Any merit in adding a very small amount of detergent or surfactant to the panel wipe solution for lubrication?
I’ve seen this debated recently and was curious to tour opinion…
My general rules is to keep things simple or eliminate variables when possible. So I wouldn’t add an additional chemical unless I was having issues with using the panel wipe as is - there would need to be a reason or issue it solves.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I err on the side of minimal yet effective then tailor the solution as well. Thanks for the response and keep up the exceptional work. I’ve gained many, many insights thanks to your tutorial vids. Cheers!
Hi Sandro, how do I go about getting a car to you to be done.
If you go to the about page there’s email and social media links where you can message me 🙂
Hey Sandro, wonder if u can help me. Id like to detail a friends VW Amarok ute. It has a carbon fibre look wrap bonnet and tailgate that looks a little unloved. Can u recommend anything that i can use on this type of surface that will not be too harsh on it and will give it back a little more of the matt black look? Im not going to hold u liable fpr anything lol, just want a product thats safe on that type of surface. Ive looked online but cant find anything that says its specifically for this kind of surface. Thanks mate
Matte paint, trims or wraps are a hard one because you simply can’t polish them, so you are hugely limited in the ability to restore them in any substantial way. The only thing you can do is use a wax, sealant or coating to slightly improve them but I wouldn’t expect too much if the wrap is noticeably oxidised, stained of weathered. Carpro has CQuartz Skin which can be a good option to help improve and stop it from getting worse but like I said, matte finishes are really something you just have to look after from the get go as options are extremely limited.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thx mate. Ive just ordered a bottle of lustre. Havent used it before. Would this help if i gave these sections a good clean with an apc? Really appreciate the replies to my questions.
Yes, a good clean and Lustre should work well.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing cheers mate. Have a great weekend
I know you said you were testing out different products etc. But out of interest, how long does it take you to complete a car like this given your experience and skill level? TIA. Tim.
It depends on the quality and finish I’m pursuing but I guess in general I’m could be a full day at the lower end and over a week if I’m pursuing a high end result.
What are you using to wipe off the polish inbetween?
It’s a panel wipe to remove polishing oils: www.waxit.com.au/products/carpro-eraser-oil-residue-remover?ref=1NNwBEgP4yO4AX
Is it necessary to use it or are there other alternatives?
If you dilute 1 part 100% isopropyl alcohol to 4 parts deionised water you can make a similar mix
Which use presher wosher bro tell me name
Kranzle K2160TST
lets say i have 90% ipa.
usaid 1prts to 4parts.
did u mean 100ml ipa mixed 400ml distilled water?
Yes that’s about right for a stand IPA solution
