- Todays cars and trucks are coming with thin paint and you have to be very careful when doing anything with the paint. Doing a paint correction without a paint gauge could spell disaster. If you have thin paint I'm going to show you a great option to make the paint look great without removing any or very little clear coat at all.

Great advice Brian!! I have the same gage & won't work on a vehicle without it. 👍🏼🇨🇦
Thank you!
Great video Brian. I never really thought about paint thickness, especially since I enjoy taking care of my wife’s Cherokee and my Ram and figured, hey new vehicles, paint is plenty thick enough. Will definitely get a gauge now, thanks to your vid.
Thank you! All I own is Mopar also and the paint on mine and all others I have used it on it is usually plenty thick enough.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing thanks for letting me know about the thickness on Mopar paints Brian. I’ll hold off for now on the paint meter but seeing how we plan on keeping these vehicles for quite a while, it would probably be a good investment down the road.
Yessss!!! A paint guage is a very good thing!! Great tool for sure!!
Awesome vid Brian!!
That truck is seriously glossy 😯👍🏻
Thank you
Great video brother! People gotta ve careful these days.. easy way to get great results and preaerving clear🤜🤛
Thanks brother! Yes they do but unfortunately a lot of people just ignore needing a gauge and go full bore on paint.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Chasing that " perfection " that doesn't even exist! 😤🤦♂️
Love the stuff!
Me too!
Excellent. I agree. "First do no harm."
Yes! Thanks for watching
Clear coat preservation and plenty of gloss. The F150 looks on point. Well done
Thank you! Preservation of the clear coat is of most importance to me.
Great video . But be aware that on some Ford paints the nextptg paint gauge shows a lower paint thickness than the real thickness. On my Ford s-max gen2, the nextptg paint gauge shows 30 microns less than what other paint gauges show. This has been confirmed by customer service at Nexdiag nexptg that it measures errors in some Ford Paint types.
So recommend checking with another paint gauge from another brand to confirm that the measured paint thickness is correct
Thanks! That’s interesting. I have another gauge I will have to try it again next time.
understood at Nexdiag that it was quite rare for this to happen. Only 1 type of carpaint with possibly the same production year.
it may happen that it only applies to the car paint that I have on my Ford s-max 2017. I am waiting for a reply from them if they have found a solution.@@FABAutomotiveDetailing
@@steffenstorli9327 What color is your car? Just so I know for future reference
Think it's called Shadow Black (Mica) or absolute Black@@FABAutomotiveDetailing
Nice video Brian, truck looks awesome, and great advice too. It's not always about huge profits. Good customer service will always pay off.
Thank you and you are correct
Paint guage is a must. Even if just doing personal vehicles, if want to do any serious correction
Yes sir! Thanks for watching
With what these vehicles cost it’s a shame the paint sucks for thickness, the truck looks great Brian, thanks 👍😁
I agree 💯! Thanks for watching
Great video. I need to buy a paint gauge soon
Thank you!
Great tip, Brian! One quick question: after you let it cure for 24 hours and then go over it with panel prep/IPA, how much of the gloss do you lose, and how many of the scratches that were previously covered over are now more visible again? Thanks for all you do!
Good question
So I go over it with a 13% IPA panel wipe. The gloss stays the same and I have never noticed any imperfections emerge after wiping. It’s really to just remove dust and any heavy polish residue I may have missed when wiping off. 13% is a very weak mixture. Hope this helps
Im gonna get a paint depth gauge id hate to burn someones clear coat
It’s a must have
Is this product similar to the CarPro Essence? I have heard that it fills the clear coat to repair imperfections and then after it cures, a ceramic coating can be applied.
Thanks for the video!!!
Yes they are both primer polishes.
Is that Extreme solutions?
Yes it is!
Can you use Griots ceramic one step here
Yes with a polishing or finishing pad it would work great.
Will this work on any substrate? example painted plastic bumpers, Fiberglass, Stainless steele etc..
No it designed for painted surfaces.
sorry meant to say painted surfaces on vehicles. some cars like the vettes which are fiberglass , cars that have plastic bumpers etc.
@@btbd2785 If you are talking about the polish Yes it will work on those cars. I have used it on a few Corvettes actually. If you are talking about the gauge no it won’t work on those it has to be a metal or aluminum surface.
@FABAutomotiveDetailing
Sorry yes I was referring to the Paint thickness gauge
Does the paint gauge measure in microns?
Yes it can
Where can we get this gauge. I don’t see it on your page
I just added a link to it in the video description.
Wouldn’t a wax or spray sealant work also?
Not if you are applying a true ceramic coating. If your not applying a coating then yes a wax or sealant will work fine.
what if my car hasbeen repainted without removing previous coats
@@dahjord it will just read really high numbers.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing yeah thought so it looks thin a f so Im just gonna use your glaze thanks
@@dahjord You are welcome
Yes, nothing like a paint gauge
Got to have one
Good Lord. Gloss so much gloss!
Yes! That’s a good thing. 😃
