Man, great job on the car, guys! I can't wait to do the full process on my car to prepare it for your 8 year coating (hopefully this weekend). I'm excited! Wish me luck! xD
@@diydetailofficial I'm planning to do the DIY Ceramic stack shortly, and I have a car with an older ceramic coating that needs to be removed first. I don't think I need a full paint correction, just a few scratch repairs and then I'd like to do the Red Jewelling DIY pad with gold standard polish. Will this remove the old ceramic coat or will i be required to do a yellow pad, followed by a red pad to fully remove my old ceramic coat? Thank you!
Wish an ipa wipe could have been used after correction. I know it was wiped with the rinseless solution but would have like to see the true condition after compound
Great demonstration guys , I am amazed that you got the brunt of them scratches out with gold standard polish, would you consider manufacturing a heavy cut polish in the future for really trashed clear coat?
Excellent vid as always. I love the simplicity of the process as well as the end results that you guys get. The teamwork the way you and Nick work makes the process so much quicker as well. I was surprised that you were using an orbital as opposed to a rotary polisher for this knowing how much you love the rotary....🙃
Oh this is perfect timing! I'm just trying to chase some scratches on my black Audi. I'll give the 555 a try! I've been using a 1" pad up until now....tedious!! 😅
C6 ceramics account approved yesterday, dropped two grand on everything I need to start out with and will be expecting it by Friday. Can’t wait to see what this can do to my BMW and my Tesla. And my leibherr crane I use at work.
can you guys do a video (or have a video) on the best way to remove polish / wax residue that gets onto the black plastic cladding that typically shows up the next day in a whiteish look that's a PIA to get off typically.. I've used dawn and a tooth brush and pencil erasers that seems to work best for me so far , there has to be something better!! of course us peasants can tape it but even still if we end up with a spot...
Those straight-line scratches on the rear hatch often are owner accidents inside their garage. I have had a few customers that opened it and it hit the closed door or the hatch hits the overhead door, an 'oops moment'. Nice technique and team effort
How do get the rotary to stop slinging polish everywhere. I’ve tried fully flat, at an angle, slower at speed and no luck. Seems that when the polish gets on the edges of the pad it goes everywhere. Any advise?
@@diydetailofficial sounds good. My pads should get here Friday. I’ll give them a try, thanks! Last thing… I only have an 8mm throw porter cable, with the wool pad should I run at speed 5 or 6 to make up for the short throw?
I've got a 2012 era BMW that has some holograms and lots of car wash swirls. They are all very fine and not deep, but the clear coat seems to be exceptionally hard. I have a 21mm machine with Gold Standard polish and your wool pad. I can't seem to get anywhere at speed 3. 5-5-5 method seems to help, but I don't really want to do that to the whole car. Any suggestions?
On a car the size of a Dodge charger how often do you change out the polishing and or cutting pads? How many would be necessary for a car this size? The only thing I have is a small brush to clean the pads with during the cutting and or polishing? Thanks
We only use one pad, but keep it clean. Here’s a few different ways to keep your pads clean. th-cam.com/video/wsxWcCuspug/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m2oXqnQdNQb7F0Qw
Currently I pitch this as a Polish package and treat the scratch removal as an add-on for each scratch/defect, i.e $25 per scratch or whatever. To me it seems like a case by case custom package to avoid under/overcharging. Does that make sense or would a single package be a better UX?
Yvan, I have a couple questions. I do know you're doing some correction here. But, I have always seen you use and promote setting 1 on the machine. What made you use setting/speed 5? I also typically see you do what (in my brain) equals 3 passes. As an example side to side, up and down, then side to side again. They overlap but for the sake of the question 3 lol. I am newer to the chanel and may have missed something previous to this, so please don't hear anything as snarky. It's an actual question and no sarcasm implied. Everything you do has a reason behind it. Just trying to fine it here:).
@diydetailofficial ok good to know I haven't tried any of your products yet but in the process to gave them a try And I've been looking for red gloves on Amazon and never find any
One big thing I am noticing....no hearing protection. It's so important especially if you're spending several minutes (or more) exposed to the sound from both buffing machines.
Once again...no matter how much you think you know about detailing you always learn something new watching this channel...
Thank you.
Just when I was thinking of how to tackle my next job, this is exactly what I needed! Thank you guys for all you do.
Happy to help!
Wow that sticky tape pro tip is why we watch these videos. Never thought of that! You guys are KILLING IT!
Thank you.
Even though the vehicle was shiny you can tell that the polishing added more depth to the paint. Great work and very efficient process.
Thank you! Cheers!

A gorgeous colour, nicely refined with a pragmatic approach, ending with a fine, gloss finish, chapeau gents, nice teamwork! 👏.
Thank you.
VERY cool and informative video!!!
Glad you liked it!
Perfect timing, my wife just marked up her back hatch yesterday. Great video guys
Thank you.
Wow. The tape trick and staying away from the chrome is worth an order from you guys.
Thank you.
What is the best way to get scratches and swirls off of the satin chrome trim?
Unfortunately, replacing it
Wish an ipa wipe could have been used after correction. I know it was wiped with the rinseless solution but would have like to see the true condition after compound
You can wipe it with anything, DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish has no fillers
Great demonstration guys , I am amazed that you got the brunt of them scratches out with gold standard polish, would you consider manufacturing a heavy cut polish in the future for really trashed clear coat?
Not in our plans, with the wool pad, 25mm DA and DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish that’s as agressive as you should be.
quick question, how come nick doesn’t use the red pad instead of the yellow?
Personal choice
That tape tip is genius. I kept losing track of a few tar spots, so went with 'if i can't find it, it doesn't exist'😂
Thank you.
Could you have done a pass over Nick’s polish with the red pad on a rotary for extra gloss?
Yes
Great stuff 😊 I have used the 5 by 5 method for a long time now and love it 😊
Great to hear!
Good demo of when to know you’ve gone as far as you can before damage. Then remind yourself to live with the results.
Thank you.
That's pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing. It's pretty amazing, the before and after.
Thank you.
Love Ivan and Nick I’ve learned so much from them I love the diy products can’t wait to test the new ceramics c-6
Thank you.

We like to feature different ways of doing things. There isn’t only one way of detailing.
@@diydetailofficial Thank you.
Can I go wool to red without the yellow in between? Thanks in advance!
Yes

Your welcome
Yvan, you mention in the video not to polish the parking sensors. Is that advise is for the wool pad only or for any of the pads? Thanks in advanced.
You can polish them, just not aggressively
@diydetailofficial Thank you 💪💯
Could u use a dry erase board marker or a washable crayon?
Ideally no, they can stain the paint

The best is to use DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish with our gold foam pad. It deep cleans, and leaves nothing behind.
How cool, you make it look so easy.
That’s because it is easy
Those straight-line scratches on the rear hatch often are owner accidents inside their garage. I have had a few customers that opened it and it hit the closed door or the hatch hits the overhead door, an 'oops moment'. Nice technique and team effort
Thank you.
Great job awesome video as always!
Thanks for the visit
Can you guys recommend an inexpensive inspection light for a DIYer who may use one once or twice a year?
The one used on Nick’s cart is great
th-cam.com/video/gvM9oloMa-0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KWIyC_Wl7-NwvORh
What did Yvan see ( or not see) on the rear bumper when he decided it was time to clean his pad?
We never put clean polish on a dirty pad.
When are you restocking the 5 year ceramic kit? Thanks
The coating is available, it’s the polish that’s back ordered
How do get the rotary to stop slinging polish everywhere. I’ve tried fully flat, at an angle, slower at speed and no luck. Seems that when the polish gets on the edges of the pad it goes everywhere. Any advise?
Using our pads and DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish it’s never an issue.
@@diydetailofficial sounds good. My pads should get here Friday. I’ll give them a try, thanks! Last thing… I only have an 8mm throw porter cable, with the wool pad should I run at speed 5 or 6 to make up for the short throw?
You can increase the speed, please monitor the surface temperature.
@@diydetailofficial yup, temp gun always next to me. Thank you!
Oh early morning video drop, nice!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@diydetailofficial of course, like always! Almost each time, I learn something new even if I listen to you both since like 5-6 years!
Can always take a corner of tape to make a little tab for removal
Yes
nice informative video keep it up❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks a lot

Be patient, and do multiple passes.
So no need to tape of lights, black trim, rubber or chrome trim? Amazing!
Correct

Ok thanks 👍🏼
Hey guys is there a synthetic or cotton alternative to the wool pad?
Wool has unique properties that are highly desirable. There are microfibre pads, but they generate a lot of heat.
How often should we be re-spraying polish?
For every section
What is the 5 by 5 method..can you explain please..or did I miss something..
th-cam.com/video/_PeDOW30xRI/w-d-xo.html
Do you use the 5 5 5 method when using a certain pad and polish or can it be done with a cutting pad and cutting polish
It’s designed around our wool pad DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish.
Currently I pitch this as a Polish package and treat the scratch removal as an add-on for each scratch/defect, i.e $25 per scratch or whatever. To me it seems like a case by case custom package to avoid under/overcharging. Does that make sense or would a single package be a better UX?
Sounds fair
What is the 555 method?
th-cam.com/video/_PeDOW30xRI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks great video!
I see you using speed 5 for the scratches is that correct? Or speed 5 used for deeper scratches?
Speed five is one of the 3 5’s in the 555 method
th-cam.com/video/_PeDOW30xRI/w-d-xo.html
Ivan what speed you using
Speed5
Is there a risk of unevenly wearing the paint by doing this method?
No

Thank you.
I need them red gloves, haha. i see you pad hitting the plastic fender. Why not tape it off?
The gloves are from Amazon, no need to tape with DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish, we purposely polish the trim.
@diydetailofficial ok good to know I haven't tried any of your products yet but in the process to gave them a try
And I've been looking for red gloves on Amazon and never find any
@cebasmb8250 they come only 1000 at a time
🎉🎉 nice
Thanks 🤗
One big thing I am noticing....no hearing protection. It's so important especially if you're spending several minutes (or more) exposed to the sound from both buffing machines.
The machines sound loud on the video, in reality they are only about 70db
Great to have some noise canceling headphones to get some music/podcasts going
Agreed
@@monstershayne I always detail to either music or podcasts🙂 Keeps the mind engaged and the annoying polisher level noise down
@@monstershaynemy friend, they likely do when they arent making youtube videos...
Where's the unique vehicle? Waiting...
Nick is easy to impress
