Lupo Lucy truth
Too expensive for a beater.
I can't begin to tell you how much your videos have helped me ...thank you so much
Lol, my wife asked me why I’m watching Raymond talk about paint correction 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Raymond has a deeper voice lol
😂😂😂😂
Lmaoo
Bhahaahahahahaaa!
You know, even after all these years, the Meguires Ultimate line of compounds and polishes are some of the most user friendly, results-oriented polishes I've come across. Wont dust, I have used it out in the sun, and I can find it anywhere for cheap. It wont work miracles on major scratches but it will restore your paint condition to something better that 95% of the cars that you park around at the grocery store parking lot. Nowadays we have to be cautious of super thin, super soft clearcoat anyway, so it is a great product for conserving clear coat, if you use it with a little sense.
It can work on trash paints, bump up the pad with microfiber cutting pad
Man all ur videos are hilarious and straight forward with truth
Scott, videos like these are why I'm part of the original 100k follows, always helpful
I like the good vibes today man. Thanks for the good info on how to easily keep a "beater" car looking good!
Love that approach for daily drives Scott
Thanks for the clear description of your technique.
Thanks for another instructional video- I was thinking about getting a DA for my first one. I have a C7 and an older pickup so I thought my pickup would make a great practice vehicle before using it on the C7. Thanks for all your tips!
Exactly what I've been looking to do! Thanks Scott!
Awesome video Scott.
Just the kind of video l was looking for. A simple video to" kiss" the paint of my car. Thanks again, Scott.
Thanks for the awsome advice Scott!
wow,this is what i was looking for,i love it when you help to make the job simple and easy.
awesome!..glad i was able to help..much love my friend:)
Hi Scott, great video nice and easy explained, going to give it a go soon, greetings from Czech Republic :)
i got a vonhaus orbital polisher with those pads for $88, i had some meguiars ultimate compound and polish already which i applied by hand but wanted a clear look so after applying that with the buffer it worked 100% being my first time working on a car with a machine, finishing my car with a nice liquid wax to protect it and honestly i am happy the way the progess came out
Finally polished my car after getting a body shop paint job and performing a one step paint correction with Griots Fast Correcting Cream a few months ago. The one step was so tedious, I procrastinated performing a polish. I've been washing the car weekly with Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash Concentrate. I used Griots Perfecting Cream as my polish with a TORQ 10FX DA. I hated running a DA over my car again. Side panels are so tedious to me. But BOY, did the car look amazing afterwards!!! I cheated on some areas and did a larger than 2x2 area. Still looked great. Really high shine with no wax. An amazing difference.
The one issue I had was using Armor All Ultra Shine as a clay lube with my Chemical Guys Clay Block. It degraded the clay block. When I went to use Duplicolor paint prep, I was pulling off black muck! Fortunately only my roof needed some very light claying. Love learning about car care from Scott.
Love your videos scottie! Much love my brotha!
much love back my friend:)
Another great video
Thanks for sharing, I have been using that Maguire’s Ultimate polish and like it better than a lot of the more expensive polishes and glazes. I’ve clay prepped but not all those steps of wash preparation and post clay cleaning. Good to know, thanks!
Yes this video is perfect!
thanks for you videos help a lot
Man i really miss your videos 😢😭😭
I just sent a message about how to correct the side fenders and look what shows up. Perfect answer to my question.
Your videos have given me the confidence to buy me a D.A and do this myself instead of paying someone to do it for me....thanks
Thank you Sir!
Thank you ❤️
Love your videos! Can you make one on your thought of coatings?
Hi Scott, Thanks for all the great info! What is your opinion on Meguiars Ultra Polishing Wax?
Thank you
Nice video
I do the exact same with the exact same but while applying that ultimate polish I actually use a little mist of quick detailer, Meguiar's ultimate quik detailer the finest Mist just to lube the application..... Works great
I went back and forth and compared the before and after reflection after the polish and the "after" is a much sharper reflection!...
And love the vids.
Great vid! Here in the UK we can't get hold of the Dupli Color prep spray - would you suggest using IPA as a suitable alternative to remove any grease after claying?
Thanks man,I just got a sweet 92 road aster that was around pines and it is stained .
Scott what do you think of the chemical guys hex logic pads also is there much of a difference between the normal and quantum pads
Ok probably the silliest question ever but would you say that prep spray is good to strip off all the old wax and sealants that was on a car. I ask because I mainly do waterless detailing and if I can use something like that to remove old wax and sealants I want to
Scott, within these five steps shown, could you and if so when would you use Meguiar’s Car Wash Plus..?
Thank you mucho for all the help through your vids! Super appreciate it!
Cheers’

No BS used car prep and waxing routine. Thanks Scott.

Great progress.
What year is it there? 1785?

Nice progress muslims.
Scott can you do a video of how to best prep and protect a slightly new car thats only a couple months old
Thanks great video . So you would not want to or need to add another wax or shine on to of the Polish ?? I have 3 cars and have not been well for a year so I have some catching up to do .
This truck goes to some pretty hairy places!!! LMAO
kiss the paint= (KISS) Keep It Simple Simon. love it! I just want to know how you keep that clay bar stuck to your hand? so fun to watch you!!
Hello, this is Dallas here with Scott paint correction & auto detail. it wasn't this vid but another one I cant find anymore where you almost said that. I like how you don't edit that kind of thing out. You make real videos, with great content. Thumbs up.
J Coz haha,yea,I saw that vid too...and totally agree,his vids are awesome...watching Scott's vids is what gave me the courage and knowledge to fix the paint that the dealer screwed up when they washed after servicing on my 2016 Tuxedo Black Ford f-150..the results I'm getting using his technique is incredible.. literally looked like they washed my truck with a brillo pad.it was bad...after using Scott's info,it looks better than new
Where can I get one of those polishers?
Hi sir! Love your videos! The way you explain things shows how passionate you are with what youre doing. Question, how often can we do that safely?... :) Can I use sonething like Turtle wax's Polish and wax using an orange foam pad?
Herro Scott I got 1 question when i simple polish the whole car what kind of wax is good can I use a spray wax ?
With the 2x2 areas you work on at a time should you go over it with the DA like you did every time? In a side to side motion from top to bottom then up and down motion from left to right?
Do you use rotary polishers ?
There is some led lights to see the swirls, but they are to expensive can you recommend me some? Please
I used this exact polisher and liquid polish combo except i used a clay sponge, 6.5" pads on a 6" backing plate, and I could not see a difference on the roof of a black car (2015 Ford). Any recommendations without polishing too much of the clear coat? More pressure? More passes? Smaller pads?
hi, i just want to ask your opinion, I applied chemical guys Jetseal on my truck, how often can I apply wax using my DA polisher to maintain its glossiness..?
using the DA polisher as often as you can easily destroy the OEM top coat of the car, right? how much is overused?
Instead of using paint prep, can you just use a mixture of iso alcohol and distilled water? Does it essentially do the same thing.
Good video thanks for taking time out of your schedule to pass on your ideas and thoughts that youve developed in your experiences. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im going crazy here where I live (South Georgia). I recently purchased a 4 yr old used red sporty looking vehicle and I cleaned and then leveled out the paint and put a sealant and some quick wax on it. I guess it looks okay because now I have co-workers wanting me to do their vehicles also which is no biggie to me but Im very OCD when it comes to vehicle paint. This OCD Ive found in the past can cause me to "FIX" something till its "BROKE". But man I just cant stand any marks, swirls, haze or dullness in any of my vehicles paint jobs. I just dont know how to tell them to go and keep wasting their money taking it to the local guys who really do a poor job for what theyre being paid for. And if I do decide to do their vehicles Id be taking money out of the local detailer's pocket's and I dont want to do that either. I have a good paying job so I dont want to take away from those earning a living doing detailing. Ughhh!!! But I sure like your videos tho and thanks for testing out so many products and giving us your opinion's. Best of luck.
its worth saying, we all need to respect the clear coat..my business is all about making cars defect free and really shiny, but sometimes thats not always realistic and we have to be careful and not remove to much clear coat because we want perfect paint..i have to dial back my expectations as well at times and honor the reason the clear coat is on the car in the first place:)..i so understand your love for your car and wanting perfect paint..much love my friend:)
Hey Scott, what's your opinion on those clay cloths out there??
Will this put some shine back into paint with a faded clear coat?
Loving the videos Scott! Could you make a video addressing tire browning? I've been picking up more customers in my detailing business recently, and t seems like whenever I clean their non-maintained tires, I always get a brown haze coming back after the tire dries, no matter what I use or how many passes I make. I've tried Meguiar's Super Degreaser, Optimum Power Clean, and Super Clean. You can't tell it after I dress the tires, but that still doesn't make me feel any better.
Adams Polishes makes a really good tire and rubber cleaner. It has always removed the stuff you're talking about.
when can I use compound and how to apply?🤔
Absolutely amazing!!!!
What pad?? Medium cut pad
yes it was a medium cut...griots 5.5 correcting pad...you could use a white polish pad as well, i like getting a little extra cut for my polish with a orange pad:)
Does this step suppose to leave the swirl marks from the pad and the buffer stage takes it out? i keep seeing marks from the pad..
Hey Scott, have you heard of Gords cherry wet wax, there are a local company out of Texas.
Does this polish also removes scratches and swirls and all that? I get confused a lot with all this compound and polish 1 or 2 step things
I like this video it’s pretty easy and time saving. Just have one question, we use this process one panel at a time or rise the full car then clay full car then polish full car?
Hissham Shahid do each step completely. If you work panel to panel or section by section you would end up with parts that are dirty, parts that are clean and parts that are polished.
I would like to know how to go about faded paint on cars? Old cars i would like to bring some shine without having to re pain the vehicle
Hey Scott that megs polish has a glaze in it? I never knew I love sonax prefect finish but I wouldn't expect weekend warriors to have those polishes
I cleaned a white car that hadnt been cleaned in a long time. I used superclean at 2 parts water, 1 part superclean as my clay lubricant. I did small area and rinsed often. Amazing how much road film came off while claying. I had small areas of brown liquid. Nasty. End result was a beautiful deep shine.
Superclean is a miracle working APC. That stuff at 2:1 will cut just about anything.
What's the easiest and safest way to remove Sap?
How long does it take you to clean the entire car, clay, and wheel it?
Can you do another video if you’re trying to get to 3rd base on a new used car. Lol I just bought a pretty European and watching your vids. I’m trying to figure out how to do the first really good start including ceramic coating. I got a polisher, iron, clay, foam. Oh and she has red interior so I need to clean and protect that too. I want to do a few household cars I never took much care of but would like to. So I need to detox them as well. Figured doing several cars ourselves would be cheaper.
Follow DetailGeek for Interior.
Love it! Perfect video for 90% of casuals like me. Scott you didn't mention sealant but I assume you like Ultimate Fast Finish by other videos I seen?
What size is that backing plate and pad?
wish polisher is the one you use?
1:59 who thought ' damn Son, look at that cap.'?
OK, so its been polished, but what do you do next ? or what are the next steps before you walk away from it ??
Hi, before waxing/sealing, does the polishing leave some film that needs to be removed by a degreaser/paint prep ? Regards...
A good wipe down with like Rustoleum Wax & Tar remover, it's a great paint prep. Then wipe down & apply your wax.
I"m 18 and have no money but i have an old rotary polisher and some crappy paint on my bmw e30. i'll have to try this out
i wouldnt if you dont know how to use a rotary u can meke it worse as it was before
Update? Did you hammer your cars paint beyond repair?
Quick question..( yeah ive been wastching your videos and commented on them and just to let you know i dont want to be annoying but im not a detail proffessional or something like that) i have a brother in christ that have a white car ( dont know if the color matters) and have a very oxidise paint not gloss at all. And i can see on the paint a lot of oil and grease.. Can i put a little purple power on the wash To remove that oil and grease?? Thank you
Is this a 5 inch or 3 inch backing plate?
what type of pad is that?
thanks
do you think those tips are also do-able with a rotary cordless drill kit?
a few sections not the entire car
Thanks!
Itay R ain’t nobody got time for that
Can u use a ph 0 soap and add a degreaser to mixture to make a non ph 0 soapy/car wash
tom martin
A ph of zero would be the equivalent of hydrochloric acid. No soap has a ph of zero.
Legend
much love Jamie..hope I'm helping:)
I look forward to your videos man, I learn so much from you. Thank u
ever try mighty boss cleaner degreaser i hear its pretty good
Hey scott i also have 10 years used car i wash it, i clay it, i also want to give some light correction ,or some gloss efect but...i only have.my hands.not DA....what product i can use please? Some Aio? Some cleaner wax?? I want to do the best i can by hand and seal it with megs fast finish as you suggested after wash every time...so...what ptoduct i can use????? Greatings from Athens Greece
Also i have a house battery small dril witch i can attach some 3inch pads ,if this helps
Scott, ever since I subscribed to your channel I'm addicted to your videos. I pretty much neglected my car for many years and you have inspired me to take better care of it. You mentioned Purple Power car and boat wash. My internet searches have turned up Purple Power car and boat wash pressure washer concentrate. Is this the same stuff you are using or is it different? Can you give me the exact name or maybe a part number to make sure I'm getting the right stuff. Thanks for all your videos, they are so helpful. God bless.
thank you Brock:)...what a kind thing to say and I'm grateful..yes its the same soap..its purple power vehicle and boat wash pressure washer concentrate ....i find it at walmart in the area where they sell the pressure washers..you will not find it in the auto detailing isle at walmart even though its a vehicle soap:)...hope that helps and much love my friend
Hi Scott, can this soap be used without pressure wash machine ?
Scott is there any way to talk to you by phone? I am new to detailing and I don’t want to make any huge mistakes! God bless
yes..if you go to my website which is listed under all my videos under the show more box..you can get my work cell and call me:)..if i don't answer just leave a message or sometimes its easier to leave a text..but i will help you in any way i can..you will do great:)...dont worry so much but yes a lot of money isn't needed to start..much love my friend
Hey Scott I bought a used white car paint is in good shape except for hood heavy swirl marks all over it. I don't have a d.a. What would be my best course of action to restore the hood and make it shine again
Mike Ruggia Get a DA polisher or use NuFinish & do it by hand
can i use the purple power as a clay lube so i dont need to use the paint-prep?
Mark Lin definately, its better than to use any clay lube that comes with the clay itself. Just use the soap as lube (:
Why is it if u have 1 little piece of grit stuck in your wash mitt you end up scratching the shit out of it? But when you're claying it, all that crap gets on the bar but it doesn't leave a mark.
Not only did I learn how to polish used cars, I've also learned how to shave 😀 2 for 1
stefano ceccato .... Look at his chin in the video he needs to shave..... hahaha
Hi Scott, i'm hoping you (or any other detailers here) can shine some light on this. So today i did my first paint correction on my friends car. it came out amazing got rid of a bunch of swirls blah blah blah. So when i got to the polishing part i used Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish M205. After buffing it on the vehicle we went to wipe it off with a micro fiber and it was extremely hard to take off. We spent more time wiping this stuff off then applying it. Any specific reason you think that would cause this? We did one panel at a time so it's not like it sat for over 20 seconds. Thanks!
Narftastic
Probably worked it at it pretty hard and got hot, so that caused it to get stuck. But try to not stay in obe area, but to over lap the polish. To remove hard polish use water and rag.
Narftastic
Do a 1/4 panel at a time.
Hey Scott! The last time I used the meguiars ultimate polish I ran into a issue I never ran into before. When I put it on, it was hard to take off for some reason. Normally when I use the ultimate polish it comes right off, not sure what I did wrong 🤷🏾♂️
tavey32 how are you storing the polish?
Was it sitting in high temperatures and for a long period of time since using last?
It was a brand new bottle that I had sitting in my garage. I never thought about the temperature where I was storing it
I've got so many questions. I keep seeing so many different combinations of pads and polishes and waxes. You used the ultimate polish with a orange pad but in a different video I seen a white pad with the ultimate polish. My 14 mustang gt is black I've gathered a DA waxes microfiber clothes drying towels. I'm stuck at which pad and polish/compound I'll need. I have light swirls that mostly disappear when waxed but of course it last till the wax stops. What would you recommend for this as far as polishes, pads and what steps. Thanks! Joe
Go with whichever one you like best, both work fine but the orange pad will give it a little extra cut
Joe,
That's been my experience as well. I have old vehicles and want to do something this summer. Cutting, polishing, waxing, clay bars, polishers, swirls, etc. etc. I'm lost.

Joe,
Plus all the money involved
Love your vids!!!! Question.... i have harbor freight da polisher. I feel that the 6” pads are to big for cars. What size pad do you recommend and where can I purchase a backing plate to accommodate the new pad? Thanks and keep up the great work
Hey Scott. I washed played and started to polish my car with SS from chemical guys and a orange pad. Cleaned it up ok but I still see spider webs and scratches. I'm lost...... can you help me please lol. Thanks for the vid
Big Yungin you purchased a crappy product
Ok thanks. What do you or anyone reading this suggest?
Griots correcting cream and orange pad or microfiber pad (microfiber will be faster) Can follow with Ultimate polish but don't have to.
But I like the rainbows on my polishing Scott.
Scott, how the heck do I deal with a used truck that has a faded roof & hood? Love the truck & I really want to do "what" I can to make it look good... Can I apply the same steps to the faded areas of the truck or do you suggest something else.. Any advice is appreciated... It's a daily driver work truck, so I will not be getting it painted.. :-)
if roof & hood are really faded and you want to find a retail product to help with that, I would try using meguiars ultimate compound first and your second step would be using their polish.the polish alone may not help pulling up the faded paint:)but yes use the same machine and a orange cutting pad with the compound but perhaps when you use the polish after, try a black finishing pad.let me know if you have any other questions, plus my website is listed below this video and you can find my number and text if you need more advice.I think you will do great:)
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing: THANK YOU! LOVE YOU :-)
Wax or could I just use megiuars ultimate finish :)
you can go either way..i love meguiars fast finish since its so fast and lasts a long time:)
Hello, Scott. I love your videos and am an enthusiastic subscriber. I'm having some trouble with something you may be able to help me with. I've got a Harbor Freight DA and I like it. Thanks for that suggestion. Here's my problem; I'm struggling with excessive heat when either cutting or even just polishing. My backing plates and foam pads are getting so hot, they are being ruined very quickly. My first backing plate was by a company called Astro. It melted so much it was destroyed the first day of use. Not that much use either. Orange, Chemical Guys, Hex-Logic pad I used on it, was also destroyed by heat shortly after I got a second backing plate (Chemical Guys) and used it very little. For some reason it is getting so hot in the center that the pads are also destroyed, completely caved in and sunken in the middle, middle part of hook and loop melted and pretty much gone. This is all with very moderate use. What am I doing wrong? Now my second backing plate is showing signs of melting in the middle too. And I can't even get through one car without destroying the foam pads from all the melting in the center. ?? Now I've got a Lake Country white pad which is also sunken in the middle from melted hook and loop in the back of the pad. ??? Thanks for your videos and I hope you have an answer for this. It is getting discouraging, not to mention, expensive. Thank you.

hmmm..are you applying to much pressure when working in your 2x2 area?..are your arm speeds to slow and not enough polish or compound on the pad (dry buffing)?..are you cleaning your pads regularly and not allowing them to build up with used compound and clear coat?...what speed are you running at on the DA when compounding the paint and what speed when your using the polish?..i can make a video using the harbor freight and how to reduce heat on backing plate and velcro area of pads if that would help...much love my friend
I don't think I'm applying too much pressure but I'll try to be more aware of that. Now that you mention the 2x2 area, I realize I do a much larger area. Maybe like the whole hood of a small car or a whole door. Could that be part of the problem? Also maybe not enough polish or compound. Perhaps that is my problem. I'll try using more. I do clean the pads often. I have been using my DA on about 5 for everything. ?? Thanks so much for suggesting several ideas to work on. And, yes, i would love to see a video on reducing heat on the backing plate. Thanks again and take care, Scott. I really appreciate you and your videos.
johngretzinger Try to angle the polishing pad, don't go flat too often.
I had the same problem and had to change back to the Warrior backing plate that came with the DA and it worked fine, I purchased the Meguires backing plate but it was getting to hot so I switched back to the HF backing plate and it worked perfectly.
Thanks, I'll try that too.
Scott,
What DA polisher do you recommend?
