Refreshing information guys. ie. Damping pads,washing pads instead of buying more,NO pressure polishing. Wiping down with damp towel b4 dry one to finish And much more. The simple things make the most difference. Brilliant
They are killing it. I just got to use a few of their products I bought a couple of months back on one of my motorcycles and on my Wife's 2022 Infiniti QX60. The incredible suds, iron remover/ decon towel and polish/pad worked great! No dusting and it was by far the easiest as far as effort to results I've used. Great stuff!!
Very interesting video. I’m a detailing enthusiast…I’ve never machine polished a vehicle but considering it. Side note: the video froze in several places for 5 or more seconds.
AWESOME video! Very educational. Especially for us mobile detail entrepreneurs who are always hungry to learn the correct and efficient ways to detail cars! Always enjoy all the TH-cam videos you both put out. Watching doesn't make everyone a professional. Gotta put in the work to gain proficiency and skills lol Thank you Yvan, Nick!!!
I was sent to this video by your customer service. Very informative and helpful. I’m going to wet sand my brand new paint job and use the wool pad then red pad with the gold standard polish. I feel more comfortable with finishing my car. My paint job was flow coated & has minimal orange peel. Thank you for your help and incredible customer service.
This update was a “jewel” to watch. I also want to throw in a thanks for the last part on where a simple hand orbit polisher fits in. I was always curious if one was of any use at all (I have one) or just a training wheels for noobies thinking about a paint correction but wanting a safe try. Question answered.
I use these pads and Gold Standard Polish with a Flex 3401. They work great together. Usually the yellow foam pad and polish do it. Great products . Definitely clean your pad frequently.
I am glad to see you guys actual "Automotive Tape" and not painters paint. I see alit of detailers even the ones on You tubr use regular Blue painters taoe. What people dont realize is that painters tape can actualy damge or even take off your clear coat. Do people when you do polish your car and need tonuse tape to section off panels or areas, use AUTOMOTIVE specific tape. Thanks for maming this video guy's!!!
I have so many products I have enough to last a life time. It's getting ridiculous.......I promised I'd not buy any more. And thought I'd seen all the tubers there was to see. However there is something very unique here with Ivan combined with great delivery feels honest and in touch with audience something that's made me change my mind about buying more products. So after asking for a link for UK distributors ( from which I got such a fast reply- personal touch) I've ordered products and looking forward to delivery.
Good afternoon! @DIY DETAIL a suggestion for a product that you can add to your line, maybe a quimical eliminator for after you clean the carpets with all clean, risless wash or interior cleaner an protect.
I ended up ordering the DA as well 😅 thanks for getting them out I’ll definitely share some feedback on them once they get here on the 21st thanks Yvan and Nick
Hello guys, love the channel. Keep up the good work!! A little off topic but I would love to see a video on how to properly use the Marolex Axel FOAMER 2000. I see videos on unboxing, but nothing that shows you the proper way of using the different tips and more importantly, the delusion to get the right foam. (hope this makes sense). I purchased one and for the life of me I cannot get any foam and I have tried several soaps and delusions. ARGHHH
Hoping to get away with a single step with Gold Waffle on my VW when I paint correct in April; but given I'm running it on a 3-mm stroke Orbital Sander, and its VW paint, I got the wool pad as well in case the Gold waffle won't remove the swirls as easily or efficiently. Time will tell when I do test sections.
Not even joking, this is the first time I’ve seen a video (with more than 20 comments) where the channel responded to every single comment in the comment section 😂 that’s dedication.
@@diydetailofficial I can respect that. Definitely makes you stand out. I appreciate your videos, especially that you’re honest about non professionals not needing to buy a super expensive polisher and all these expensive addons for every single type of application, it can be done affordably. I’m sick of all these other channels telling you that you need to buy 17 of their $25 products do a single stage paint correction/polish.
It definitely can’t be overlooked at how well the gold standard polish works. If I’ve got a persistent scratch I’ll go with adding a spot of a cutting compound (3D 500) to the 1 spray of gold standard polish. Scratch is diminished with minimal work.
Excellent video guys...I watch a lot of your videos and this is one that may will appreciate. Would also be nice if you do a video to remove a scratch that is not too deep but visible and catch your eye everytime!!! FYI...there were issues with your video today (break in action and sound at 3-4 occasions). Tks
Great information! Can you guys please do a video on polishing cars with vinyl racing stripes. I have a new c8 vette with factory racing stripes that I need to polish before ceramic coating.
Thanks for the great information. I always thought that the iron remover was supposed to remove all the “minerals” from the paint. Isn’t that what iron is? All these added steps and costs of products makes it difficult for weekend warriors like me to get the shine we want!
Iron remover doesn’t remove mineral contaminant. Those are primarily calcium deposits. A little goes a long way, these are products you use at every wash
We are all moved in and shipping again, thanks for your patience. New inventory is arriving every day to fill the new space and prevent inventory shortages.
Sorry for commenting twice….I’ve watched this two times….I was wondering if you have a video that shows the depth of the clear coat/paint before and after a 2 step average polishing job?
Gents, I have all the products but not yet used them all (as of yet). So to be clear, before polishing, you believe it is ALWAYS best practice to foam rinse foam (I'm already practicing this), but then most importantly when deconing to decon with iron remover and then ALSO always followup with iron remover? I just want to nail it all down, my first polish is upcoming (All DI Detail products and my water spot remover is on the way). I've seen you decon with many various products just want to be sure my prep is 100% nails
I did the 5 year diy ceramic coating on my brand new lexus rx450h+ this weekend. The coating went on awesome. Didnt fight me at all after about a half hr the car was so slick. It feels so smooth now. I moved the car around onto diff light for so long and looked for high spots. Today i found one hugh spit i missed in a weird bend on the trunk door. Its barely noticiable but now i see it. Is the only way to correct this to gold standard polish it out then reapply?
I was just playing around on my test panel yesterday. I created some pretty bad scratches and decided to try wet sanding them out. Well what do you know I burned through the clear coat. Preservation over perfection 100%.
Love the work you guys carry out! Have some questions for gentlemen. If used on unprotected surface, is rinseless wash okay? And can quick bead or ceramic gloss be applied to non coated car as a standalone?
Great video. If you ceramic coating loses performance you do a complete de-contamination and clean as in the video and regain water beading. How would you know the result is just a cleaned ceramic coating vs a failed coating that needs replaced if the paint causes water to bead?
Start with a contact wash. Follow that with Decontamination with DIY Detail Iron Remover with the Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel . Next use DIY Detail Water Spot Remover. If that doesn’t restore the performance, than time to consider another coating.?
@@diydetailofficial 100% agree. My question is after doing all of that and the beading performance comes back, how can you tell if the coating is restored OR if the coating has failed but because the raw clean paint beads the water very well? Maybe I’m not doing a good job explaining my question but if paint does a good job beading by itself (better than most coatings as Ivan said in the video) how do you know you have restored coating vs failed coating with fresh cleaned paint. Thanks
Re: Using a leaf blower to dry your car: I blow about 80% of the water off my car and then use a drying towel and rinseless wash to remove any residue that might be left behind
This was a great great video on the da using all the pads. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you for that answer all my questions on the all pad use. You guys are the best 🙏 what speed did you use on the red pad with the da?
Thanks for the video guys. Hey Yvan, looks like I'll get to say hello at the meet and greet event in Melbourne in a few weeks time. Are you bringing any rotaries over with you? :)
Would this process work on old Mercedes Benz'es from the 80? 87 560SL in this case. Planning on getting a 21mm DA to do the paint correction as a first timer.
For a total newbie who only wants to polish his car a those of a couple of friends occasionally, might it make sense to buy a quality random orbital sander (about $100)? Yvan mentioned starting with an orbital sander from "the basement"?
You guys are the best I have been detailing my vehicles according to your videos and everything Has come out perfect. Thank you again happy holidays God bless
I was writing a post and all of a sudden it went to another video lol. I've used it on tar and also tape marks that wouldn't come out from the dealership. The tape marks were like someone gorilla glued them on. Was out of goo gone and other similar items and just though why not? Took it all off with no real effort or anything. If this is a duplicate post, just delete one lol. It wasn't intentional. The Tree Sap Remover does a ton of stuff. I wouldn't go inside the car with it, but because this keeps swithchning to another video, I don't know if you mentioned that. Maybe I clicked a key or something by mistake.
What i would like from you is a list of what i need to wash a ( car ) the soap the sprayer ect. then ill start the test on old metal with the polish . tks, bob
There are many different ways to wash. Watch our videos and determine which style best suits your needs and note what’s used in the video. We also have kits on the website.
The phrase, "start with the least aggressive method first" has been said before. So wouldn't it be wise to use the Yellow Waffle followed by the Red Jeweling first before attempting the wool?
hey! my polisher has broken, got a cheap black and decker palm sander. my question is, the palm sander seems to spin quit fast would this be bad for the clear coat. this is refering to how fast it spins without any load. dont really want to try it and mess up thr paint it spins about 12 000 rpm without load
Do you need a new pad for every section when doing a car? Or can you reuse the same pad without cleaning it, just using less product down the line.. section like panel to panel or like side to top to side etc..?
Hey guys, we own a 2019 Tundra with 2000 miles & we washed & decontaminated, then rotary polished it with your gold standard. We were going to use panel prep before your ceramic coating but we see you’re using water spot remover here. Do we have to do that before the panel prep? Is it necessary? Thanks!
I have always used a rotary buffer and am for sure not a beginner. Wanting to switch to the fixed orbital. Seems training new people it use orbital is lots easier then train them to use a rotary. I need to cut and buff. Do yall offer classes of any kind. We are a large company that does a lot of buffing,metal polishing and detailing.
I have a 2007 silver opel corsa. I thought about machine polishing myself but the clear coat is starting to peel in places so not sure it's really worth bothering now. I suppose it would atleast be a good car to practice on. Any advice would be most appreciated!
Just got a brand new lexus. Have only driven it home from the dealer so far. Its pretty clean doesnt seem like they put any waxes on it. Im going to put on diy 5 year. Have gold standard. What would process be being that its so new? Im thinking a decon wash, diy clay towel and iron remover, quick polish then coat. Am I missing something?
@@diydetailofficialThanks for the quick reply. In this video they used a water spot remover. Do you think I should on the new car? If so after the iron decon? Then polish?
Do you recommend the tar/sap remover as a routine step for prepping to polish, or only if there's visible issues? I have a black vehicle so it'd be hard to see that on there.
good info! i do believe, at least when you reach 100.00 subscribers, invest in a harbor freight inspection light to actually show, cause it's a video, the work being done on the paint. I know it's easy to say but I've seen it on many channels
Does it really matter what order you use water spot remover, tree sap remover, or tar remover when decontaminating a car, as long as they are rinsed well?
@DIY Detail I’ve never seen you use a Tar Remover, only an Iron Remover. I believe a Tar Remover doesn’t react well with those type Decon towels. So when, if at all, would you use a Tar Remover please???
I have a 24' GMC sierra truck that is black which I recently purchased. Apparently the dealership ran it thru a car was and it really swirled and fine scratched the paint. I been using your micro fiber pad followed by the red polish pad on my Milwaukee 15 mm DA. The paint looks amazing but some of the scratches are still there after multiple passes. Is there another product I should use for a better cut then polish to get the remainder out before I apply the stack? and yes I know about perfection but I want it right.
Would a simple polish like M205 work well with the yellow pad as a one step? I have that on hand and actually looking to pick up a couple of your yellow and red pads.
I am noticing micro scratches on the clear plastic that covers my speedometer. I have been using a glass cleaner to clean it. Which product should use to not put any more micro scratches in my dash while cleaning it?
Need to step to a wool pad with my XC40 T5 R-Design (black) Volvo. Since the wool pad cuts deeper and the gold standard polish: “…removes *fine swirls* and *towel marks+…” It works well with the wool pad (?) or a different product needed? Next, finish with the waffle pad? ~ Thanks ~

Used your tree sap remover to remove tar on a white suv. Does great.
Yes , Sap, Adhesive, Tar, and burnout evidence.
That Grants Detail Seat is awesome and a great deal from Harbor Freight...it has saved my feet and back while doing tires and lower quarter panels!
Thanks for the info!
Let's not overlook the fact, and it bears repeating, this was all done with 1 polish! 99% of the time Gold Standard Polish is all you need!
Lol not in my world. That wouldnt even be used at my shop.

So generally speaking, your recommendation for a cutting or finishing "pass" is covering the section 3 times (i.e. right/left-up/down-right/left)?
Correct
Thanks for clarifying beading vs. sheeting. Pan the Organzier gave a more confusing explanation. Still love him, though. Lol
They are the same, more volume of water gives you more sheeting, less gives you beading
Great video. Enjoy it a lot.

Question: I just installed PPF on front half of Tesla model one. Do I need to Decon and polish PPF prior to installing ceramic coating?
Or should I install ceramic coating on top of the PPF at all?
You can lightly polish it, and yes you want to coat it.
I purchased a brand new car and the paint looks good. I want to ceramic coat. Should I wash and use the red pad or just wash and ceramic coat.
A light polish will help
hey! my polisher has broken, got a cheap black and decker palm sander. my question is, the palm sander seems to spin quit fast would this be bad for the clear coat. this is refering to how fast it spins without any load. dont really want to try it and mess up thr paint it spins about 12 000 rpm without load
Start and stop it on the paint. 12,000 OPM is normal.
Do you need a new pad for every section when doing a car? Or can you reuse the same pad without cleaning it, just using less product down the line.. section like panel to panel or like side to top to side etc..?
You need to either clean the pad or replace it, never add polish to a pad that’s been used

Can/ should you use decon towel with water spot removal?
No
Hey guys, we own a 2019 Tundra with 2000 miles & we washed & decontaminated, then rotary polished it with your gold standard. We were going to use panel prep before your ceramic coating but we see you’re using water spot remover here. Do we have to do that before the panel prep? Is it necessary? Thanks!
If you’ve polished, no need
Can you just polish with a yellow waffle or should you follow up with the red foam pad afterwards?
No need if you’re satisfied with the results.
I have always used a rotary buffer and am for sure not a beginner. Wanting to switch to the fixed orbital. Seems training new people it use orbital is lots easier then train them to use a rotary. I need to cut and buff. Do yall offer classes of any kind. We are a large company that does a lot of buffing,metal polishing and detailing.
Yes, we offer on location training. Yvan@diydetail.com
For us true beginners, what the eff is a DA?
Dual action polisher
I have a 2007 silver opel corsa. I thought about machine polishing myself but the clear coat is starting to peel in places so not sure it's really worth bothering now. I suppose it would atleast be a good car to practice on. Any advice would be most appreciated!
Unfortunately failing clear coat is something not good to polish.
Is your product sold in automotive stores?
Thank you

Just got a brand new lexus. Have only driven it home from the dealer so far. Its pretty clean doesnt seem like they put any waxes on it. Im going to put on diy 5 year. Have gold standard. What would process be being that its so new? Im thinking a decon wash, diy clay towel and iron remover, quick polish then coat. Am I missing something?
Perfect, the only thing missing is have fun and enjoy.
@@diydetailofficialThanks for the quick reply. In this video they used a water spot remover. Do you think I should on the new car? If so after the iron decon? Then polish?
DIY panel prep before coating!
Yes panel prep! Apply DIY Detail Water Spot Remover after iron removal and before polishing.
Would u recommend using 6.5" pad on a 7" or would it work better on a 6" backing pad
Best on a 6 inch backing plate
Do you recommend the tar/sap remover as a routine step for prepping to polish, or only if there's visible issues? I have a black vehicle so it'd be hard to see that on there.
Only when needed
That was fantastic. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
good info! i do believe, at least when you reach 100.00 subscribers, invest in a harbor freight inspection light to actually show, cause it's a video, the work being done on the paint. I know it's easy to say but I've seen it on many channels
Our inspection light was somewhere in a storage container
Does it really matter what order you use water spot remover, tree sap remover, or tar remover when decontaminating a car, as long as they are rinsed well?
No
When do you think it be up for sale on your website? I know there is pre orders but wanted to know when will it be in stock
Should be in stock later this week
@DIY Detail
I’ve never seen you use a Tar Remover, only an Iron Remover.
I believe a Tar Remover doesn’t react well with those type Decon towels.
So when, if at all, would you use a Tar Remover please???
Use DIY Detail Tree Sap Remover to remove Tar. Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel is not compatible with removing tar.
great video, and super easy enstructions to follow... What polisher you recomend for a begginer and"weekend worrior"
A rotary
so on a brand new black chevy blazer do you recommend the red pad on a rotary machine? i want to follow up with your ceramic stack!
Yes
I have a 24' GMC sierra truck that is black which I recently purchased. Apparently the dealership ran it thru a car was and it really swirled and fine scratched the paint. I been using your micro fiber pad followed by the red polish pad on my Milwaukee 15 mm DA. The paint looks amazing but some of the scratches are still there after multiple passes. Is there another product I should use for a better cut then polish to get the remainder out before I apply the stack? and yes I know about perfection but I want it right.
Use our wool pad first
@@diydetailofficial Sorry I thought it was microfiber it is your wool pad I was using. I bought your kit with the three pads.
@user-xe2zj3tj8j you will need to do another pass or 2
@@diydetailofficial Got it!
Would a simple polish like M205 work well with the yellow pad as a one step? I have that on hand and actually looking to pick up a couple of your yellow and red pads.
Yes
@diydetailofficial excellent! Looking forward to using your pads with my rotary!
@joshraines enjoy
I am noticing micro scratches on the clear plastic that covers my speedometer. I have been using a glass cleaner to clean it. Which product should use to not put any more micro scratches in my dash while cleaning it?
DIY Detail Rinseless Wash
Can you not use the wool pad and start with the yellow pad and finish with the red pad for light swirls?
Yes
Hi! If you don't have "Rinseless wash", what's the best "general" product to damp the pad? Thank you so much.
Water
Another great video Nick. What ratio do you usually use to make a pre-wash with All Clean and Incredible Suds?
120oz Water, 8oz DIY Detail All Clean , 1/2 oz DIY Detail Incredible Suds
Would you go over company decals with the yellow pad or stay away from it?
If they are gloss, yes, lightly
@@diydetailofficial awesome.. thank up
Need to step to a wool pad with my XC40 T5 R-Design (black) Volvo. Since the wool pad cuts deeper and the gold standard polish: “…removes *fine swirls* and *towel marks+…” It works well with the wool pad (?) or a different product needed? Next, finish with the waffle pad?
~ Thanks ~
Correct
