3D products tend to have a longer working time than most other products on the market. Try halving your section size with 8 passes on each section instead of four (hence the longer working time of the product) and you should get even better results, Just finished a 78 T-Bird just yesterday with only using 3D ONE to prep for the 3D Ceramic coating. using the method I just mentioned I had the best results yet with this product using their course and medium spider pads, also works great with a wool pad too for heavily scratched or marred paint. Cheers for the video, I enjoyed it.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah I noticed really long cycle time with this stuff. Since this vid I've been working it longer with better results 👍👍 appreciate you watching!!✊
Zu, that depends on what type of clear your dealing with. On a softer clear, you'll be ok with one pad such as a medium cut pad. I won't state colors as each manufacturer is different. On the harder more stubborn clear, you'll need a more aggressive pad which still can serve as a On step. Also, factor in what level of defect removal your going after as well. So many variables to consider.
Nice review, good to see videos from different perspectives on this combo, and review of this compound, it does have a long working time and clean up is a breeze, no mess whatsoever, thanks for the review, look forward to seeing you use this on your next client/ Friends car in need for correction or enhancement, stay safe out there, appreciate the vids. FYI for any who are watching Smurf sped up video recording to keep vid shorter, in the beginning his polishing speed was as it should be.
Thanks Abel! I appreciate it! Definitely looking forward to using it on a full enhancement or correction. I've got a buddy with a 2016 accord that is in need and I'm thinking this will be what I use👍 thanks for noticing I sped up the vid😄 were staying safe as can be! You do the same man! Take it easy!
Thanks, J! Yeah I have been hearing so much about this combo and was juiced to finally try it out! Fantastic combo.. I can't wait to do a full car with this!
Great review.Seems the 3D and Extreme Solutions brands products may be one of the best professional product lines out there.Yes, many are using the Buff and Shine Euro pads.
Thanks Bill. Yeah the 3d One is a great product teamed up with the uro pad. Seems to gave its purpose as a great one step on a moderate defeated car.. cuts well and finishes great.!! I am looking into some extreme solutions products this week and see what the pockets can afford😄. I'll be doing some testing and will share it on the channel as soon as I can! Thanks for commenting and watching!!
What's up Steve! Definitely a great combo either way with the Uro pad or the foam pad! I was shocked at how well the foam pad did. Wasn't expecting that lol. Taco tiiime!🌮🌮🌮🍻
Steve!!! Going great man! Sorry for the late reply. Going through my comments and finding a BUNCH of comments that people reply to that I don't get notified!!!! Wtf!
I use a lot of 3D products. Their compounds and polishes are all i use 500 & 520, 501 & 502, as welll as 3D ONE, with the exception of Sonax Ultimate Heavy Cut for extreme defects. I come to settle on Shinemate foam pads, chemical guys hexlogic, and 3D spider cut foam pads. But for 3D One I only use Buff'n shine 50/50 urofiber pads with that particular compound. At first I was skeptical of a one step cutting as well as people said and finishing down to what was said too. To my suprise it really is that good of a combination and has suprised me more than any compound/polish on the market. I was let down by other over hyped one steps like Rupes Uno in the past but 3D is at the top of the game in liquefied compound/polishes for paint correction
Couldn't Agree more man! The urofiber 50/50 and 3d one I'd soooo good. I have a variety of pads an polishes compounds too. If you like this combo try out PhoenixEOD Papacut with the urofiber 50/50 pad. I've been loving it! All in all 3d makes some great products 👍👍👍 appreciate you tuning in!
Dj, thanks man!!! Yes! This is a fantastic combo👌👌 I have the little 2"pads too✊ awesome! It works extremely well on softer clear too! I never thought to do helmets though.. that's great idea. I have a few shoei helmets that I can get looking right👍👍
I’m gonna cop the G9 , I should’ve bought it but I got the Flex PXE 80 instead but I really want the G9. I have a sneaking suspicion with a 4” backing plate the machine would be killer even more than it is. And on a side note I was having the same issues with my MaxShine machine yesterday after the washer mod so I switched pads and went to the Griots pads and wow I got so much work done.
The G9 would definitely be killer with a 4 inch backplate. What's weird with my M15pro was I didn't have experience to know the difference between stalling and not! It felt nice with the rupes white pad. Idk I'm sending it back to MaxShine so they can take care of it hopefully! I'm glad you were able to get work done!✊✊
No problem! Appreciate you watching.. I absolutely love this 3d One btw.. have used it on a few details. It definitely has its uses as it's not a very heavy cutting compound. However, paired up with the right pad on the right paint its absolutely phenomenal 👍🏻
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Thanks again. Fimished the video and ordered it. I do have the euro microfiber so im definatly combinding the 2. By the way heard that pad teamed with the 3d 1 step is amazing too
No problem! Yeah the Urofiber pad and 3d One Is a great a combo! Just gotta keep the pad cleaned and blown out during passes as they get matted down quickly 👍🏻👍🏻
Great info, thanks! You earned a new sub here!! I’ll be using the 3D One with my G9 and orange pad this week. It’ll be my first time ever and this video boosted my confidence.
Hey Eric! Thank you! That's a great start my friend. VERY safe. You'll do awesome 👌 don't sweat it!!! Keep me posted on how it goes! Appreciate you watching man!👍
Haha definitely man! I know not every person has microfiber pads or the uro 50/50. I was actually blown away by the results of the foam correcting pad!!! Thanks man! Appreciate cha!👌🤙
3D One plus their Epoxy Montan Wax it's my #1 go to combo for leaving my personal ride up to perfection and to fight the agressive sunlight here where I live in TX. This combo definitely hits the ball out of the park.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I totally recommend it to you. It's a product that hasn't got a lot of diffusion on TH-cam, cause people have been more attracted to the ceramic bullshit. I'm not against ceramic coatings, but I don't have a Ferrari or a C8 Corvette to invest the money or prepare a car going through the process to get a ceramic coating so old fashion car care it's more than enough to keep it shining and repelling water with the added protection using the Epoxy every now and then, plus I get entertained doing my maintenance washes🤣🤣🤣. The price, durability and easy-to-use are amazing. Oh, and those urofiber pads are the worst I have ever used. The foam is so damn flimsy and the fiber isn't better than the rest of the conventional microfiber ones. I personally like the Griot's Garage pads the most. They last a very, very long time and they are very thick to reduce the heat.
Hmmmm, now you have me very interested.!! Hey, ceramic coatings are definitely not for everyone. To each there own my friend! Oh man! Really?!?! I've had great success with the urofiber 50/50 pads! Definitely don't work on every clear but I've gotten great results. Still have all the same original pads too.. I do however agree griots pads are very underrated! Still have ALL of mine. When I first started they wrote the first pads I bought! 👍🤙🤣
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Lol😆, the pads are ok, just they aren't the greatest discovery on material nor the foam of the pads. Meguiars cutting pads for sure #1, then Griot's or even Chemical Guys basically the same...Try the Epoxy and then post a video review of it. It won't disappoint you by any means. Oh, one suggestion regarding 3D, the owner of Autogeek is the new face of the 3D brand, they also have their bug remover which is outstandingly effective now for the summer.
@@samverdes1915 I'll definitely have to make a review video when I get some! Yeah, Meguiar's microfiber pads are like a staple. They are so good.! Ahhh I saw that he moved to 3d. They have great stuff. Been in the game a long time. I'll have to look into that bug remover too!
Nice video Papasmurf! Great idea doing a side by side with the 50/50 and the foam. Always wondered which would result in a better finish/cut. So thank you for doing that! Great Video Taco!!
PapaSmurf918 FYI 3D one is pad dependent so if you want to step up the paint correction I’ll use a microfiber or wool pad to do so. Like wise with using a less aggressive pad. Good luck with your projects brother!
3D has some great products the ACA500 will cut out the deeper scratches most of the time. I love that combo my go to or griots fast correcting cream. Great price I wish. After you use microfiber your foam pads will be gathering dust. Nice video. That was my daughters equinox I showed you on the chat. My real name is on Instagram. Great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Haha oh I already know what ya mean about the foam pads gathering dust!! I've heard of the ACA500 as it's a more aggressive cut. I'll have to try that next in my 3D lineup! That equinox looks superb man. Awesome job!🤙✊
Thanks brother! Definitely scarfed down some tacos after this! Yes both pads worked very well! Was kind of surprized with the orange foam pad! Worked great!!
This seems to be 3D’s version of papa cut with it having the diminishing abrasive characteristic. I think it would be interesting to do a side by side comparison using 50/50 uro fiber pads on both. That sounds like a small project I could do this winter. The local body shop let me borrow a few square feet as long as I don’t bring anything that could cause fisheyes. That would make them call me bad names and throw their paint guns at me,lol !
🤣🤣🤣 Definitely don't want paint guns thrown at you! Yes, they are both in the same category for sure. Imo, papa cut finishes down way better. And is easier to wipe off. Slightly more cut as well. But, would Definitely be a good side by side🤙🤙
You know you heard about those combo from me too. This is what I’ve been using lately and looooovvve it. Nice video papa. Eat some more chicken taco boats.
1 month late!!! Why am I not getting notified for replies to comments!!! I've gone through so many and found at least 35 I had to reply to late cause youtube isnt notifying me. Wtf!
Thanks man! Yeah I wouldn't consider this an AIO product as it doesn't have protection in it. But its cutting ability is fantastic! Then it finishes out great!! No dust, easy wipe off... definitely a winner! Let me know whenever you try it and how ya like it!✊🤙
@@PapaSmurf918Detail What I meant to say was the most aggressive product I've used with a buffer is an AIO. VIctory Nano Polish. The product you're using here seems to be more aggressive than that product yet applies and removes well. Time for me to go up a level and try this product.
Nice job and I did use this combo and really I didn’t get much results on my father low s300 black Chrysler and then I switch to sonax cut max and got crazy results like I couldn’t believe my self but still I love 3D one because it gives high glass finish and really looking honestly to try ACA500 thanks for this amazing video and since you mentioned apex Deataling I have to say his way amazing and smart but he’s over doing and showing products it makes me confused so much until I got one set from product I use it very successfully with a lot of shine and paint correction thanks one more time
Thank you!! That's so weird you didn't get good results with this on the Chrysler.. I hear great things of Sonax products and will definitely pick some up down the line. As well as the ACA500👍🤙 yeah Apex is awesome but man does he pump out the videos! So many products lol.. thank you again for the comments and support my friend!👍
I’ll tell you one thing I need good polisher honestly I’m using Adams mini swirl killer with 5” backing plate so it might be the reason I didn’t get results with this compensation , hopefully I’ll get the G9 soon thanks for the response
Sorry for the late response... I have NOT been getting notified for replies on my comments man! The initial comment yes. Replies....NO! I'm pissed cause I've gone through at least 30 and found some people I left hanging. Definitely snag a G9. Also, hard clear vs soft. Chrysler I'd bet had harder clear that is why when you switched to cutmax you got results 👍
I have spent WAY to much on pads.thanks and good job from all of us in that same boat.the foam pads will fly.i,d love a euro 50/50 ...i dont detail enougb to justify....i,ll wear out the griots and megs pads on my jeep and ram and friends cars,then ill buy a couple.howse about a ttw hybrid polish & shine vs 3d1.4 pads,foam, euro 50 50.good vid dude.
Haha definitely hear ya on spending money on pads! What you have will yield great results.. like you said if you detailed daily then its justifiable! That would be an interesting video but idk if I'd put the TW ceramic polish and wax in the same category as it provides protection.. the 3d One does not. But it could make a very interesting video!! As always thanks for commenting and supporting the channel Keith!
Keith, sorry for late reply.. shoot I've now had to apologize for TH-cam in 25 different comments. I have NOT been getting notified of comment replies. Definitely two different apples!
Papa S This video is the cats Pajamas!!! so much good info and love the side by side test, it really shows how easy this can be without jumping off the deep end of the pool with heavy cutting pads and products, scared I might F-up my paint LoL. .
I'm a just starting and learning all about cutting and polishing so needless to say I'm really nervous!!! This seems like a great combo and low risk but very nice results. I've watched a ton of vids here and I would like your opinion on the products and plan I have so far. I got the Griots G8 and G9 (actually G8/9 were one of the lowest cost polishers and top rated), the URO 50/50 pads, 3D one C/P. I also got some Menzerna Super Finish 3500 Super Finish to use with carpro finish pads. My plan: wash, iron remover, wash, clay bar W/lube, wash, IPA wipe, 3D one W/ URO 50/50, IPA wipe, 3500 super finish W/carpro finsihing pad, IPA wipe, Gyeon moehs & Gyeon Skin. Not looking for showroom just getting rid of the dull finish and swirls, does that plan of attach sound like it would give me the results I'm looking for?
@DG Bbq time Hey man! Appreciate you taking the time to watch 👍👍 all in all your process seems like it would for sure yield GREAT results! However, starting off with a Urofiber 50/50 is pretty aggressive. Might I suggest starting with a lighter approach pad wise ( maybe a medium cut foam pad ) just to see how it performs and you might find it gives you the results you are looking for and that will save you clearcoat... all in all that's what protects your paint so savoring it is key. If you find that the defect removal isn't up to par, then grab the Urofiber pad👍👍 check out my polishing 101 video there will be some good information there as well. If you have any other questions feel free to ask whenever brother!🤜🤛🤝
@@PapaSmurf918Detail yeah not starting with the Uro 50/50 is probably a good idea. So what name brand pads do you like and what color? seems like every type of pad by every company has a different color system, so which one would you recommend? I like to always ask the guys who know, it seems to always save me time and money by not buying the wrong stuff or by not making a costly mistake! thank you again for the great Vids and for answering my "newbie" questions LoL.
@DG Bbq time Hey man anytime brotha!!! I used too and still ask questions man it's how we learn! So I really like the Rupes yellow/white pads. Yellow is polishing and white is ultra fine polishing.. also love the Lake Country Medium cut orange pads. Griots Garage pads are good as well. There orange is medium cut and works well. Any of those pads will work. 👍
@@PapaSmurf918Detail OK sir one more question for you. I now understand that all clear coats are not created equally, some soft and some hard. I have two cars I'm going to be working on, my wife has a white 2016 Toyota highlander and my red 2016 tesla model/S. Do either of those cars have soft clearcoat that I should be extra careful with? BTW the Tesla is my work car that I drive 150 mile a day, this is why I want to learn how to cut and polish in order to ceramic coat my cars. my Tesla is taking a lot of wear and tear and I'm trying to protect it as much as I can. thanks again for all your help, your the Bomb man!!!
U make great videos .Wondering if u could give me a general idea of doing a test spot.Like a softer pad and compound combo to a more aggressive pad to use with the same combo.Confused with hard and soft clear coats
Thanks Greg! Ok so, for instance.. I will start with the least aggressive method ( pad ) when I use 3dOne.. is very pad dependent.. I'll start with a foam polishing pad which does not have much cut to it. And after i do s few passes I'll check the amount of defect removal i achieve.. if I'm happy with those results I'll stick to that pad and 3d One. But if I wish to up my cut I'll switch to a foam cutting pad which will offer a little more cut.. repeat process and check. 👍 you'll find on softer clear coats a less aggressive foam pad will cut pretty well.. if your not getting anywhere then your prob dealing with harder clear. Then I move to the urofiber 50/50.. or a microfiber cutting pad... but, with those they will leave a haze and some micro marring sometimes that require to follow up with a foam finishing pad.. BUT you can use 3dONE still as a finish polish 👌
another quality video. What are you using as a paint prep spray. I assist a. Alcohol H2O mix. Dilution ratio? Will you be doing a video on your were sanding?
Thanks, Dan! I'm using Rustoleum grease and wax remover for the paint prep. And yes I will indeed make a video wet sanding 👍 will be my first time so it will be fun!
Excellent review. Seems the 3D One is based on but better than the S20 Black ? Seems to cut more. Man you scratched that panel up nicely. Do you dilute down the Rustoleum with water ? Does it mix or is it pure solvent ? Capro Cool Pad Wool/MF will but nearly anything with moisturizing lotion so this would be great with it. THanks
Thank you! 3d one is awesome when paired with the right pad 👍👍 yeah I wanted to get a feel for wet sanding and I guess I went a little far but it was all in learning😄 I do not dilute the Rustoleum at all. I use it straight up. I wanna try out some wool pads next. Appreciate you watching man!!!
What causes foam pads to separate from the backing, or to come apart? Used some for the first time this week. Added four drops every time I went to a new section until they’d eventually end up too wet with polis. Then I’d blow them out with an air hose & go back to wash at I was doing. The griot brand pad lasted until I was almost done before it came apart. The cheaper pads didn’t last that long.
Honestly I've never had a pad come apart on me! I still actually have this same oad I used in the video. Granted I don't use then daily. However to much heat usually is the cause. And to much pressure. Lots of variables. Quality of pad as well. What pad did you experience this with? Could just be a bad pad.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I went through six in a couple days’ time. I think I was letting them get over saturated. It always happened on the higher speeds.
@@CrowCreekOutdoors Hmmm. 6 came apart???? That's crazy. High speed an heat may be the culprit. I soak my pads in water for 3-4 days sometimes a week before I wash em and never had it happen. Try slowing the speed down an lighten up on pressure. No need for anything past 4.5 on most machines. That is if you have a machine that does half clicks.
Good for you! Bout time bro, you'll love it! It's great with just the orange foam pad, if you got minor swirls and scratching! But that was a bit too much product though... Great stuff for a nice one-step!
Thanks John! Yeah I knew I was using a tad to much product after seeing the work time. Oh well. 😄 was very happy and pretty shocked at how awesome it worked with just a foam pad! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍
In this video I'm using the Griots Garage G9 polisher... I still have it but I mainly use the Shinemate ex620 15mm polisher now. Both are great units I just prefer the 15mm throw on the shinemate. The G9 cones in handy on softer clear that requires the smaller throw 👍👍. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
what about URO 50/50 on softer paint ? Microfiber pads tend to leave a haze on softer paint which need to be correct after with a finishing pad. Do you think the URO 50/50 would leave such haze on softer paint like a regular microfiber pad would or not ? I know Microfiber pads are great for harder type paint because it wont leave a haze behind. trying to see if this URO 50/50 is good for soft or hard paint with 1 step without leaving haze
The uro 50/50 will absolutely leave haze and marring on softer paint for sure. Will then need a finishing step after. I get haze even with a foam pad sometimes on real soft finicky paints. Medium to harder clear the 50/50 pad is a great 1 step pad👍 thanks for taking the time to watch!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail thank you for you fast reply! so it would seem the Rupes Yellow Medium Wool Pad is still king of the 1 step pads ! you should check it out if u never used it :D
@@PapaSmurf918Detail exactly, rupes yellow finish medium wool pad. does a great job for 1 step correction on soft clear. at least for me, i had great results with no haze. just wish they lasted a little longer
Great vid PapaSmurf, thx! Just ordered my very first polisher...a G9! Also ordered some Uro-Fiber and 3D ONE before viewing this vid. Do you think that combo is ok for a polishing newbie as myself?
Thanks man! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! You'll love that combination. Yes, absolutely a great combo for a beginner. Don't start with a urofiber 50/50 though.. I'd start with a medium cut orange foam pad an 3d one. Then if you don't get results you want you can bump up to the uro pad👍 on softer paint that urofiber pad can do some great cutting where the orange pad will do great an finish a tad better.. the softer the clear the more finesse it will take. Typically I'll always finish with a foam pad after a uro pad or microfiber pad🤙 great thing is you can use 3d one for both cutting an finishing ✊️✊️
@superado2k No problem! Anytime! Oh your golden my friend. With that combo you will yeild awesome results 🤙🤙 If you need anything reach out! Don't hesitate ✊️✊️
@@PapaSmurf918Detail curious, regarding your experience with different clear coat hardnesses... The first three vehicles I'll be trying this stuff out on will be a white 2008 Scion xB, a two-tone white/charcoal gray 2000 Chevrolet Silverado and a charcoal gray 2015 Ford F-150... All 3 with original paint and never been polished before. Decon will be time consuming at first for sure.
@superado2k so with my experience the scion will most likely be on the softer side.. the chevy will mist likely be on the medium to hard side.. Ford prob right in the middle.🤙 Start out light on each one and bump up aggression accordingly 👍👍 the clear will tell you 👌
Just bought some uro 50/50s , already have 3D one and love it but have always used on the foam pads. How often do the 50/50 need to be blown out and how do you clean them when done? Awesome video!
Thanks, Brad!!! You will love the Uro pads. I was actually blown away at how well the foam pads work with 3D One!!! I always blow out my pads after every pass👍 To clean them I used to use Superclean at about 3:1 dilution ratio and rinse until all residue is gone then wring out and let dry. However recently I have been experimenting with 3D Towel clean about 1.5oz in a 16 oz bottle then just fill the rest with water. Works great!!!
would this combo work any on situation? im looking to only offer one steps in my mobile detailing simple paint correction its to hard battling the elements out here sometimes
Yes absolutely would work! It's a great 1 step enhancement product! I've done many with it! Since this video I have moved on to other liquids such as Sonax Perfect finish, PhoenixEOD Papacut and fabulous finishing polish, Koch Chemie also has some great polishes! 3d one is great, lil oily on wipeoff but other than that a great polish. 👍 thank you for watching! Also, the pad is huge factor for 1 steps. Depending on the clear you will need to start least aggressive and work up from there👍👍✊️
I just bought the g9 ..I am beginner so look at this video and your newer video..so my question what set up should I go for …the 3d one with the 50 50 pads …or get the griots creams with with the griot foaming pads ..which would you go for …thanks
Is probably go with the boss creams and foam pads👍👍 that's a great introduction to polishing. You will get the hang of it then you can move to the urofiber pad and microfiber pads. 🤙
Hey awesome vid! How does the gloss stack up on a meter compared to a pure polish like Angel Wax or 205? Do the Uro fiber pads finish out as well as a black foam fine finish pad?
Thanks man! Ummm as far as gloss. I don't have a meter but, a foam pad will always finish down better. To me. On a soft paint these urofiber pads will micro marr and haze a tad. So you gotta finish out with foam. On small harder clear will be a different story. So it all really depends but I always like to finish with a foam pad👍👍
Perfect Video Eric. I am about to order 3d one and I have orange pads but no 50/50 pads. I think this is the perfect product for a 10 year old F-250. It looks like you made a total of 4 passes but how was your pressure on the da? Thanks brother
Thank you very much man I really appreciate your job is very nice as good information,a question I got a new greot’s G9 machine how good have been the machine you have and second question is about brush lor of brunches I’ve seen I the back of your shop,the point is I have bought some really bad in the past and I’d like to ask you what brand makes the best detailer broches my friend thanks
Thank you.. I appreciate that.. my G9 is still going strong however I did have it stop on me again... the power cord took a crap on me. Swapped the cord and it worked just fine. That's the only bad thing I've encountered with the G9. As far as detail brushes there are TONS of them.. if you want some quality brushes look at the Propper detailing brushes, lithium auto care's brushes, detail factory brushes, workstuff brushes.. all great brushes.. my brushes behind me in my cart are just from Amazon 👍
This combo looks amazing. So this past weekend I was trying to paint correct my truck which has black paint. I was using Meguiars compound and polish with chemical guys orange and white foam pads and it did get rid of some scratched and swirl marks but left behind a haze all over the paint. You can only see the haze with a led light. Not sure what went wrong. I'm just beginning with all of this. I want to try the combo you used in this video and I'm wondering if it will remove the haze from the clear coat. Let me know what you think please. Thank you.
It's a great combination! 👍 so on your truck there are a few variables.. when it comes to black paint you always have to finish it out good or you will see the haze. If you used the white pad which I assume is there finish pad?? I'm not a fan of the CG pads btw. If you used that paired with the ultimate polish after you used the compound it SHOULD have taken care of that haze. Unless the clear is soft.. which requires a little more delicate finishing. Which means a smaller throw machine an lower working speed on the polisher. What kind of polisher do you have an what speed were you running it at???? There are so many variables 😄 It's ok though man, your at the beginning stages so these trial an errors are what make the experience and knowledge form. No 2 cars are the same. It's trail and error when it comes to paint polishing.. I will say I started out with that Meg's ultimate compound and harbor freight polisher ans Griots pads. Great results. The Rupes White ultra fine finish pads are usually my go too when finishing black paint. Feel free to ask or reach out if you need anything. On here, or my detail page on Instagram is Papasmurf918Detail. 🤙🤙🤙
Ahhh man so the orange pad is the medium- heavy cut I used the compound with that. Then used the white pad which is light- medium polish pad, I used the polish compound with that. I have the black pad which is the finishing pad but it was coming apart so I didn't use it... So should I use the black finishing pad with the polish compound? I would love to get rid of the haze and mirco scratches that got left.
@CJ Oropeza ahhh, ok. Try to turn the speed down to 3.. and just let the weight of the polisher do its job. 2 passes.. side to side up an down... side to side up and down. Then wipe off. See if that works does the trick. Then lmk!
Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to watch! I'd definitely be cautious around the textured trim. If some does get on it wipe it away right away. Tape up just be be sure. 👍👍 the smooth plastic like on windows I haven't had many issues.. just wipe off right away..
can you use the uro-fiber+3d the same way you would a finishing polish with no haze and at the same time remove medium defects? or is there a change in technique somewhere to produce a finish with no haze?
Patrick, that all depends on what kind if paintwork you are on. If you are working with a clear that's on the harder side then you could absolutely get away with a 1 step as 3d one does finish out very well.. however defect removal will be a little tougher on harder clear so you may need to re apply and go in for a 2nd pass.. now, if your on the softer side of clear then the urofiber 50/50 pad will do well and defect removal will be much more but you more than likely will need to grab a finishing foam pad or just a light polishing foam pad.. with my experience on softer clear the urofiber pad will leave a bit of haze.. nothing a quick pad change won't fix though! 👍👍
Any towel can scratch paint technically.... I have nice towels I reserve for certain jobs. The kirklands are just fine for interior.. shoot you work on a car that already has trashed paint and they are not paying to polish.. use some Kirklands... I use em all the time... also, really don't care about my test panels much.. they get thrashed lol.
Thanks man!🤜🤛 arm speed will always change depending on how much defect removal I'm after. For example, if your looking for correction speed 1 inch per second is a great start. If your just doing a light polish or enhancement my arm speed will be on the quicker side as I'm not going for as much defect removal. Hope that makes sense.! 2x2 section I call up down then left and right 1 pass. I'll usually do 2 passes sometimes 3 depending on the cycle time and type of abrasive. This 3d one has great cycle time and can be worked for multiple passes before it looses lubrication.
love ur presentation and how you fine tune everything that you do so it's so easy to follow and to comprehend and actually see exactly what the difference is on all your products and I will try to look for some 3D
awesome video!. I was planning on doing this combo on a e90 bmw to remove some old ceramic coating and get rid of minor swirl to get the paint ready for cquartz. I was also planning on finishing after with essence with the gloss pad from car pro. Do you think these 2 can work together ( 3d and essence)
I think that will be a great combo! And as far as will those 2 work together.. after you use the 3d one and urofiber pad to remove coating.. use your paint prep or IPA wipe to remove all oils leftover from the 3d one and then essence will work just fine👌
Well, 9 times out of 10 you will get more shine with your finishing foam pads. Especially if you cut with microfiber or urofiber.. then simply just switch your pad out and add a few more drops of 3d one and polish 👍👍 thank you for taking the time to watch!
Great vid.. I was wondering what you would recommend as a sealant and wax to stack with the 3D one? I'm looking for the most gloss I can get, short term protection is fine for me. The car is a garaged show car. Never sees any thing but sunny days and blue skies.
Hey man!! Sorry for the late reply!!!! So after 3D One.. if you want pure gloss Id go with Xtreme Solutions Poly Seal topped with Topper!! FANTASTIC PRODUCTS! Will get you some good durability, but insane gloss, shine, and slickness!! Thanks For watching! once again im sorry for the late reply! I do not often go on my Laptop to reply but on here it gives me comments I have not responded too. So, forgive me!! take care my friend!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I just bought the griots g9 my car is a dark blue and has alot of swirls my goal is to remove them and add a high gloss plus sun protection since it's always out in the sun can you recommend me pads /compound/sealant to make my life easier there tons of products out there thanks bro.
Sure do! 1st, it has more cut.. not only does it have more cut but it finishes down extremely well.. wipe off is WAY easier. Fcc is one of my tops for sure..Sure. Phoenix EOD's PapaCut compound I developed to be just as good if not better than fcc.. 👍👍 fcc is still absolutely will always be in my arsenal.. appreciate you Taking the time to watch!
For the range rover as I like to say with every approach.. I'd recommend a test spot with a less aggressive combo and see what that will get you👍 if your not happy then bump up from there until your happy with the defect removal and finish and stick to that. I have a range rover I did some time ago here on my channel too! Check it out if you want too! th-cam.com/video/4PuBev5ZSCw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eQ772EXj-LpVo0ra
After watching the video again, I now remember haha, the clear was indeed on the softer side! With the exception of the bumpers that had been repainted.. those were stubborn! The Rupes Yellow pad an sonax perfect finish was a great combo. 👍
I'm starting to learn detailing. U say after using 3D u can put your wax and sealant. I thought if u use this product 3D that was it , your done. Cause I heard this product was 2 in one, a compound and a polisher. Im confused.
So this 3d One is a hybrid compound and polish.. meaning it can be used to cut and finish depending on the pad you use. You are thinking of 3d Speed witch is there AIO ( ALL IN ONE ) meaning there is protection in it.. 2 different products👍 with 3d Speed after you wipe off you are done. 3d one you need to panel wipe then apply your choice of protection. Hope that explains it. Let me know if you have any other questions my friend!
I noticed you said to step a pad down on a softer paint, I'm doing a correction on a Toyota Tacoma which has soft paint and wondering what a stepdown from the urofiber 50/50 would be. Really wanna try the 50/50 and 3d but wanna make a less aggressive test spot first. Just wondering what the less aggressive spot should be with.
Hey man! So, I'd use any medium cut foam pad with 3d one first. Like a lake country orange medium cut pad. They are awesome. Or, a yellow Rupes polish pad. If you're getting good defect removal stay with that pad. 👍 if not, go to urofiber pad. Chances are if it's soft, that medium cut foam pad will work great. Softer paint with urofiber pad can marr and also leave some haze. Lmk and if you have any other questions don't hesitate brother. 🤜🤛
On a daily driver that sits outside, would you follow with just a hybrid ceramic or would you actually follow with a wax/sealant? I'm looking to get the swirls out, but not put too much work/effort into a daily driver.
If your looking to not put as much effort in, I'd recommend an AIO ( All-In-One) like the Turtlewax Ceramic Polish and wax👍 you can enhance paint, remove swirls and scratches at the same time leaving a layer of ceramic protection behind. I have a video on that stuff if you wanna check it out. 3D makes 3d Speed which is there AIO but it contains fillers. Me not like fillers as much lol.
Judging from watching many videos it seems the microfiber pads seem to work best for cutting and or one steps and when using a two step,using a fine foam pad like Lake Country or Rupes combined with a fine polish for polishing out.Seems though for most vehicles you can just run the euro fiber or griots orange foam pad for a great one step and finish with good ceramic coating or poly sealant to get that added depth and gloss.
You are absolutely right! The mf pads are superior for cutting and depending on which ones they finish out very very well! And following up with like you said a foam pad will just give it that extra pop if ya want! I need to try out some different foam pads though.. all I have is Griots because that's what I bought when I started lol. Mines well use them. 😄
How is the G9 holding up after some time now? Think I saw one of your videos that the G9 needed replacement after one of the brushes failed? Let me know, just bought one myself, hopefully reliability is not an issue but we shall see!
Question for anybody that maintains these pads. I used a small bit of tide cold water and diluted it heavily with water to clean out the pads after a correction. I know microfiber doesn't like those detergents that have dyes and perfumes added. Are my pads going to be effective after that? I guess I could wash them again using IPA, Dawn and APC this time. Anybody know if I'm just overthinking it? Will I still get the same performance after I do the second clean? Thanks
Hey my friend! Check out my latest video I did 👍 covers my routine for pad maintenance.. Been using this method for almost 2 years ✊. Your definitely overthinking it a bit.
This was Rustoleum Grease and Wax remover... Look into Gyeon Prep though! It's one of my favorites. Here's the link to Rustoleum Rust-Oleum Automotive 251475 32-Ounce Wax and Tar Remover Quart a.co/d/9nhvl96 Here is the link to Gyeon Prep GYEON Quartz Q²M Prep 500 ml - Pre Coating Surface Prep to Remove Oils and Lubricants Before Applying Ceramic Coating - Anti Static Surface a.co/d/eBugdNK
Greg, you can use either one.. I've done plenty of corrections with the G9.. however a long throw will yield quicker defect removal 👍 I do prefer my long throw polishers for cutting but for a while all I had was a short throw.
@@hberglions9046 very possible they are just not enough power. Could try switching to a 5 inch back plate! That will free up a bit if power. But, I'd look into something better🤙
So I just got my G9 and it doesn’t have the rubber on the bottom of the platypus head just has the hole exposed did yours come like that or did you put the rubber over top of the hole?
@@Coffeedad that's very weird.. it's a good chance that they stopped putting that rubber on there to cut costs.. which is no good imo.. that rubber is key for comfort.
FCC all day my friend.. however I'm currently working with a company developing a very unique compound that I'm VERY happy with so far. It may take the 1st place for me over FCC🤜🤛once the final formula is complete I'll be announcing it!!!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail sweet..I haven't used it ..only HD speed and meguiars ultimate compound which have both been great..I also haven't used a ero fiber pad yet although I do have one..I compounded my truck the other day lightly with a orange pad and meguiars ultimate but it needs a little bit more to knock out all defects (very small) like I'd like since it goes to car shows.
@@BeardsandCars awesome man.. yeah that urofiber pad with the meg's will probably give you the extra cut you need! Remember, you can step up aggression with your liquid OR a more aggressive pad👍🤜🤛
@@PapaSmurf918Detail that's what I was thinking..I actually like the results of the meguiars topped with topper..its really shiny but was just wondering about that FCC lately..also was worried about hazing from the ero pad on my truck since I never used it but it may not even leave any at all..and if so I could probably follow up with a foam pad and wax and get rid of it.
@@BeardsandCars precisely.. IF the uro pad leaves haze it would be on softer clear.. fcc is fantastic.. finishes great and it may sound aggressive but it's nothing your gonna get in trouble with believe me. But if you did get haze you could just slap on a finishing pad with megs ultimate on a slower speed and it will clean right up👍
If I'm using an orange Foam pad I don't need to finish out usually. Foam finishes very nice since it's not to heavy of a cut.. if I cut using a microfiber cutting pad then I'll finish with foam perfecting or polish pad. I have found on hard clear that I didn't even need to follow up at all.. usually the softer clear tends to micro marr or haze up. Then you need to finish out👍🏻 hope that helps!!!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail ok thx I'm new to this so learning still. So just need 3done n order orange griots cutting pads n just in case soft clear buy some black finish padd to finish up marring or hazing???
No problem man, everyone has to start somewhere ✊🏼 yeah orange griots foam pads are not that aggressive so you probably won't need the black after. BUT having black pads will be needed regardless so it would be wise to pick a set up👍🏻. Once you get comfortable get some Boss Microfiber Cutting pads.. they are absolutely outstanding.. also, they have the Boss orange cutting pads and the regular foam ones. The boss pads are slim profile with the hole in middle. They will get you more cut then the regular thicker foam pads. Since your new just stick with the regular orange and black pads. Play around and get comfortable with the polisher with those. You will be amazed how fast you pick it up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
LOVE this video thank you! Think I finally found my combo. Question: was your test on a soft or hard clear coat? I've got a soul red mazda cx5 real notorious for a super soft clear and just wondering if you think itd be too abrasive with an orange lake country ccs pad? Love the video and thanks again
Matthew thanks man!!! This test hood is off a 2014 Mercedes e class which is on the hard side. I did use the same combo on a 2016 black Honda accord ( I also did a video on that process) and it worked fantastic.. if your working in soft clear I'd step down the pad 1 notch as you always want to start the least aggressive method first. You may find you get the results you want and not sacrifice your clear coat 👍👍 if you have any other questions feel free to ask my friend!🤙
That is AWESOME you found my channel from Pan's livestream. I appreciate you joining my channel man! If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
Do a test spot before you commit to a pad type for whole car. The product itself will do just fine on soft paint, so just use like a white Lake Country foam polishing pad, or a Urofiber black finishing pad and that should be just fine.
I typically do up down then side to side 2 times.. so 2 total cross hatch patterns then check my defect removal 👍 if you are not happy then do 1 more and re check.
@@lovedoctor25 yes, this can absolutely be used to prep before a coating. It's however NOT a primer. So a paint prep will be needed to remove polishing oils before a coating or any protection is applied
@@garcia5986 definitely.. perfect finish will finish down a little bit better. However I've used 3d one plenty of times and it finishes awesome as well. Either way you will be good👌👌
Kevin, this Mercedes hood I'm working on it on the harder side for sure. After this video I did a 2 step on a 2016 Accord, a black one. Hondas are soft clear ( I have a video on that as well ) and the 3d One and urofiber 50/50 pad worked fantastic 👍
3D products tend to have a longer working time than most other products on the market. Try halving your section size with 8 passes on each section instead of four (hence the longer working time of the product) and you should get even better results, Just finished a 78 T-Bird just yesterday with only using 3D ONE to prep for the 3D Ceramic coating. using the method I just mentioned I had the best results yet with this product using their course and medium spider pads, also works great with a wool pad too for heavily scratched or marred paint.
Cheers for the video, I enjoyed it.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah I noticed really long cycle time with this stuff. Since this vid I've been working it longer with better results 👍👍 appreciate you watching!!✊
He did 6 passes
Everyone's technique is different
. Everyone's " passes " differ... there is no set amount required for ANY polish or compound.
Could you explain what a longer working time means and if/why it's beneficial?
I use 3D with an orange forced rotation pad too, followed by a finishing pad and carbrite select paint sealant wax....amazing results!
3d one is a great versatile product! Appreciate you tuning in!!👍🤝
Yes, use an orange pad on a DA with a good diminishing abrasive compound
Zu, that depends on what type of clear your dealing with. On a softer clear, you'll be ok with one pad such as a medium cut pad. I won't state colors as each manufacturer is different. On the harder more stubborn clear, you'll need a more aggressive pad which still can serve as a On step. Also, factor in what level of defect removal your going after as well. So many variables to consider.
Good video. Glad to see someone doing product reviews using the G9 as I have
Thank you! Yup, G9 is a solid polisher for sure! Appreciate you watching
Nice review, good to see videos from different perspectives on this combo, and review of this compound, it does have a long working time and clean up is a breeze, no mess whatsoever, thanks for the review, look forward to seeing you use this on your next client/ Friends car in need for correction or enhancement, stay safe out there, appreciate the vids.
FYI for any who are watching Smurf sped up video recording to keep vid shorter, in the beginning his polishing speed was as it should be.
Thanks Abel! I appreciate it! Definitely looking forward to using it on a full enhancement or correction. I've got a buddy with a 2016 accord that is in need and I'm thinking this will be what I use👍 thanks for noticing I sped up the vid😄 were staying safe as can be! You do the same man! Take it easy!
Awesome video,that 50/50 pad and the 3D one is awesome stuff. Have to get a Couple of the 50/50 pads . Thanks
Thanks, J! Yeah I have been hearing so much about this combo and was juiced to finally try it out! Fantastic combo.. I can't wait to do a full car with this!
I came for the polish review, stayed because of that gorgeous beard!
Thank you for tuning in AND staying😄🤙🤙
Great review.Seems the 3D and Extreme Solutions brands products may be one of the best professional product lines out there.Yes, many are using the Buff and Shine Euro pads.
Thanks Bill. Yeah the 3d One is a great product teamed up with the uro pad. Seems to gave its purpose as a great one step on a moderate defeated car.. cuts well and finishes great.!! I am looking into some extreme solutions products this week and see what the pockets can afford😄. I'll be doing some testing and will share it on the channel as soon as I can! Thanks for commenting and watching!!
That combo did a great job with URO pads and good results with foam pad. I have 3D One just need to get some URO pads. Thanks from shows us. 🌮🌮🌮🌮
What's up Steve! Definitely a great combo either way with the Uro pad or the foam pad! I was shocked at how well the foam pad did. Wasn't expecting that lol. Taco tiiime!🌮🌮🌮🍻
@@PapaSmurf918Detail The foam pads did do really good. How's is going brother
Steve!!! Going great man! Sorry for the late reply. Going through my comments and finding a BUNCH of comments that people reply to that I don't get notified!!!! Wtf!
Great video and comparison. This is a video I have been waiting for somebody to make! Thank you very much!
Thanks man!! No problem at all, I'm glad it was helpful!! Love this product
I use a lot of 3D products. Their compounds and polishes are all i use 500 & 520, 501 & 502, as welll as 3D ONE, with the exception of Sonax Ultimate Heavy Cut for extreme defects. I come to settle on Shinemate foam pads, chemical guys hexlogic, and 3D spider cut foam pads. But for 3D One I only use Buff'n shine 50/50 urofiber pads with that particular compound. At first I was skeptical of a one step cutting as well as people said and finishing down to what was said too. To my suprise it really is that good of a combination and has suprised me more than any compound/polish on the market. I was let down by other over hyped one steps like Rupes Uno in the past but 3D is at the top of the game in liquefied compound/polishes for paint correction
Couldn't Agree more man! The urofiber 50/50 and 3d one I'd soooo good. I have a variety of pads an polishes compounds too. If you like this combo try out PhoenixEOD Papacut with the urofiber 50/50 pad. I've been loving it! All in all 3d makes some great products 👍👍👍 appreciate you tuning in!
Awesome vid man!!
Love this combo🤘🏻
Try it as a polish after wet sanding headlights.. It works great👍🏻
Thanks man! Oh really?? Sweet! I'll definitely put it on some headlights! Thanks for the tip!
Is it possible to polish headlights using 3d one without wetsanding ?
Great review! My go to exactly! I even got the 2” 50/50 pads! Just did a race car drivers helmet and used these two products. 👍👍
Dj, thanks man!!! Yes! This is a fantastic combo👌👌 I have the little 2"pads too✊ awesome! It works extremely well on softer clear too! I never thought to do helmets though.. that's great idea. I have a few shoei helmets that I can get looking right👍👍
PapaSmurf918 just be extra careful with the constant curves! Otherwise, you can make them pop!
Definitely gotta throw in done finesse on the curvy cars!😎👍
I’m gonna cop the G9 , I should’ve bought it but I got the Flex PXE 80 instead but I really want the G9. I have a sneaking suspicion with a 4” backing plate the machine would be killer even more than it is. And on a side note I was having the same issues with my MaxShine machine yesterday after the washer mod so I switched pads and went to the Griots pads and wow I got so much work done.
The G9 would definitely be killer with a 4 inch backplate. What's weird with my M15pro was I didn't have experience to know the difference between stalling and not! It felt nice with the rupes white pad. Idk I'm sending it back to MaxShine so they can take care of it hopefully! I'm glad you were able to get work done!✊✊
Thanks for the review, was actually looking at this polish tonight n this video showed up in my suggestions.
No problem! Appreciate you watching.. I absolutely love this 3d One btw.. have used it on a few details. It definitely has its uses as it's not a very heavy cutting compound. However, paired up with the right pad on the right paint its absolutely phenomenal 👍🏻
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Thanks again. Fimished the video and ordered it. I do have the euro microfiber so im definatly combinding the 2. By the way heard that pad teamed with the 3d 1 step is amazing too
No problem! Yeah the Urofiber pad and 3d One Is a great a combo! Just gotta keep the pad cleaned and blown out during passes as they get matted down quickly 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video eric! I have both that uro fiber 50/50 and 3d one, I cant wait to use it
Thanks, Hank! Appreciate cha man!! Its a great combination! In the process of doing some wet sanding and testing with it with a few other products!
Great info, thanks! You earned a new sub here!!
I’ll be using the 3D One with my G9 and orange pad this week. It’ll be my first time ever and this video boosted my confidence.
Hey Eric! Thank you! That's a great start my friend. VERY safe. You'll do awesome 👌 don't sweat it!!! Keep me posted on how it goes! Appreciate you watching man!👍
Awesome!!! I was hoping you were going to use a correcting pad. That's all I've got LOL.. 3D store is 15 minutes from my house. Great video brother.
Haha definitely man! I know not every person has microfiber pads or the uro 50/50. I was actually blown away by the results of the foam correcting pad!!! Thanks man! Appreciate cha!👌🤙
Love those 50/50 Uro pads!!!
Carlos, me too man! Fantastic pad!!👍🏻👍🏻
3D One plus their Epoxy Montan Wax it's my #1 go to combo for leaving my personal ride up to perfection and to fight the agressive sunlight here where I live in TX. This combo definitely hits the ball out of the park.
Sam, I've yet to try the Epoxy wax! But, 3d makes some great products! Will have to look into it! Thanks for tuning in!🤙👍
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I totally recommend it to you. It's a product that hasn't got a lot of diffusion on TH-cam, cause people have been more attracted to the ceramic bullshit. I'm not against ceramic coatings, but I don't have a Ferrari or a C8 Corvette to invest the money or prepare a car going through the process to get a ceramic coating so old fashion car care it's more than enough to keep it shining and repelling water with the added protection using the Epoxy every now and then, plus I get entertained doing my maintenance washes🤣🤣🤣. The price, durability and easy-to-use are amazing. Oh, and those urofiber pads are the worst I have ever used. The foam is so damn flimsy and the fiber isn't better than the rest of the conventional microfiber ones. I personally like the Griot's Garage pads the most. They last a very, very long time and they are very thick to reduce the heat.
Hmmmm, now you have me very interested.!! Hey, ceramic coatings are definitely not for everyone. To each there own my friend! Oh man! Really?!?! I've had great success with the urofiber 50/50 pads! Definitely don't work on every clear but I've gotten great results. Still have all the same original pads too.. I do however agree griots pads are very underrated! Still have ALL of mine. When I first started they wrote the first pads I bought! 👍🤙🤣
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Lol😆, the pads are ok, just they aren't the greatest discovery on material nor the foam of the pads. Meguiars cutting pads for sure #1, then Griot's or even Chemical Guys basically the same...Try the Epoxy and then post a video review of it. It won't disappoint you by any means. Oh, one suggestion regarding 3D, the owner of Autogeek is the new face of the 3D brand, they also have their bug remover which is outstandingly effective now for the summer.
@@samverdes1915 I'll definitely have to make a review video when I get some! Yeah, Meguiar's microfiber pads are like a staple. They are so good.! Ahhh I saw that he moved to 3d. They have great stuff. Been in the game a long time. I'll have to look into that bug remover too!
Nice video Papasmurf! Great idea doing a side by side with the 50/50 and the foam. Always wondered which would result in a better finish/cut. So thank you for doing that! Great Video Taco!!
Thanks Phriendly!!! Yeah it was fun to test out different pads and compounds and how they react! That's what it all about having fun and learning!
That combo has never failed me. Cool review brother. 👍
Thanks man! Going to be using it more soon I hope! Really wanna get it on a full correction/enhancement asap!
PapaSmurf918 FYI 3D one is pad dependent so if you want to step up the paint correction I’ll use a microfiber or wool pad to do so. Like wise with using a less aggressive pad. Good luck with your projects brother!
Epic video Papa!! Those are definitely 2 of my favorites. 👍👍
Thanks Man! Appreciate that, definitely a phenomenal combination 👌✊🤝
3D has some great products the ACA500 will cut out the deeper scratches most of the time. I love that combo my go to or griots fast correcting cream. Great price I wish. After you use microfiber your foam pads will be gathering dust. Nice video. That was my daughters equinox I showed you on the chat. My real name is on Instagram. Great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Haha oh I already know what ya mean about the foam pads gathering dust!! I've heard of the ACA500 as it's a more aggressive cut. I'll have to try that next in my 3D lineup! That equinox looks superb man. Awesome job!🤙✊
If I can get it done with foam, I'll stick with foam.
Great video. And great idea to show comparison between the two types of pads. 👍🏻🌮
Thanks, Ryan! Had to show my foam pad folks some love! Definitely worked up a Taco meal after this one!🌮🌮😂
Great video! That worked great with either pad. A little geeked out there at the end. You deserve a Taco after this! 😂
He needs a Taco Truck
Thanks brother! Definitely scarfed down some tacos after this! Yes both pads worked very well! Was kind of surprized with the orange foam pad! Worked great!!
Very helpful thanls ver much from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
Thank you for watching! Glad this was helpful!
This seems to be 3D’s version of papa cut with it having the diminishing abrasive characteristic.
I think it would be interesting to do a side by side comparison using 50/50 uro fiber pads on both.
That sounds like a small project I could do this winter.
The local body shop let me borrow a few square feet as long as I don’t bring anything that could cause fisheyes.
That would make them call me bad names and throw their paint guns at me,lol !
🤣🤣🤣 Definitely don't want paint guns thrown at you! Yes, they are both in the same category for sure. Imo, papa cut finishes down way better. And is easier to wipe off. Slightly more cut as well. But, would Definitely be a good side by side🤙🤙
Thank you ! I will be ordering today !
Awesome! Great product here. You will enjoy its versatility!!! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
This will be my next combo! Thanks for the video, 5 tacos for sure. 👍
No problem Ed! I give this combo a 5 taco review🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 on my rating scale! Lol let me know when you get a chance to use it and how you like it!
You know you heard about those combo from me too. This is what I’ve been using lately and looooovvve it. Nice video papa. Eat some more chicken taco boats.
Your Right, Jason. Sorry for not mentioning you bud! It's a great combo for sure!!! Look forward to using it more!

Great video bro I will try this 👍🏼👍🏼
Raldas what's up buddy! Yes its a great combo! Let me know how you like it!
Interesting video. This product looks to be more aggressive than the AIO product that I use. Will have to try it for sure.
Thanks man! Yeah I wouldn't consider this an AIO product as it doesn't have protection in it. But its cutting ability is fantastic! Then it finishes out great!! No dust, easy wipe off... definitely a winner! Let me know whenever you try it and how ya like it!✊🤙
3d1 is my go yo
@@PapaSmurf918Detail What I meant to say was the most aggressive product I've used with a buffer is an AIO. VIctory Nano Polish. The product you're using here seems to be more aggressive than that product yet applies and removes well. Time for me to go up a level and try this product.
Nice job and I did use this combo and really I didn’t get much results on my father low s300 black Chrysler and then I switch to sonax cut max and got crazy results like I couldn’t believe my self but still I love 3D one because it gives high glass finish and really looking honestly to try ACA500 thanks for this amazing video and since you mentioned apex Deataling I have to say his way amazing and smart but he’s over doing and showing products it makes me confused so much until I got one set from product I use it very successfully with a lot of shine and paint correction thanks one more time
Thank you!! That's so weird you didn't get good results with this on the Chrysler.. I hear great things of Sonax products and will definitely pick some up down the line. As well as the ACA500👍🤙 yeah Apex is awesome but man does he pump out the videos! So many products lol.. thank you again for the comments and support my friend!👍
I’ll tell you one thing I need good polisher honestly I’m using Adams mini swirl killer with 5” backing plate so it might be the reason I didn’t get results with this compensation , hopefully I’ll get the G9 soon thanks for the response
Sorry for the late response... I have NOT been getting notified for replies on my comments man! The initial comment yes. Replies....NO! I'm pissed cause I've gone through at least 30 and found some people I left hanging. Definitely snag a G9. Also, hard clear vs soft. Chrysler I'd bet had harder clear that is why when you switched to cutmax you got results 👍
I have spent WAY to much on pads.thanks and good job from all of us in that same boat.the foam pads will fly.i,d love a euro 50/50 ...i dont detail enougb to justify....i,ll wear out the griots and megs pads on my jeep and ram and friends cars,then ill buy a couple.howse about a ttw hybrid polish & shine vs 3d1.4 pads,foam, euro 50 50.good vid dude.
Haha definitely hear ya on spending money on pads! What you have will yield great results.. like you said if you detailed daily then its justifiable! That would be an interesting video but idk if I'd put the TW ceramic polish and wax in the same category as it provides protection.. the 3d One does not. But it could make a very interesting video!!

Papa S
This video is the cats Pajamas!!! so much good info and love the side by side test, it really shows how easy this can be without jumping off the deep end of the pool with heavy cutting pads and products, scared I might F-up my paint LoL. .
I'm a just starting and learning all about cutting and polishing so needless to say I'm really nervous!!! This seems like a great combo and low risk but very nice results. I've watched a ton of vids here and I would like your opinion on the products and plan I have so far. I got the Griots G8 and G9 (actually G8/9 were one of the lowest cost polishers and top rated), the URO 50/50 pads, 3D one C/P. I also got some Menzerna Super Finish 3500 Super Finish to use with carpro finish pads.
My plan: wash, iron remover, wash, clay bar W/lube, wash, IPA wipe, 3D one W/ URO 50/50, IPA wipe, 3500 super finish W/carpro finsihing pad, IPA wipe, Gyeon moehs & Gyeon Skin. Not looking for showroom just getting rid of the dull finish and swirls, does that plan of attach sound like it would give me the results I'm looking for?
@DG Bbq time Hey man! Appreciate you taking the time to watch 👍👍 all in all your process seems like it would for sure yield GREAT results! However, starting off with a Urofiber 50/50 is pretty aggressive. Might I suggest starting with a lighter approach pad wise ( maybe a medium cut foam pad ) just to see how it performs and you might find it gives you the results you are looking for and that will save you clearcoat... all in all that's what protects your paint so savoring it is key. If you find that the defect removal isn't up to par, then grab the Urofiber pad👍👍 check out my polishing 101 video there will be some good information there as well. If you have any other questions feel free to ask whenever brother!🤜🤛🤝
@@PapaSmurf918Detail
yeah not starting with the Uro 50/50 is probably a good idea. So what name brand pads do you like and what color? seems like every type of pad by every company has a different color system, so which one would you recommend? I like to always ask the guys who know, it seems to always save me time and money by not buying the wrong stuff or by not making a costly mistake! thank you again for the great Vids and for answering my "newbie" questions LoL.
@DG Bbq time Hey man anytime brotha!!! I used too and still ask questions man it's how we learn! So I really like the Rupes yellow/white pads. Yellow is polishing and white is ultra fine polishing.. also love the Lake Country Medium cut orange pads. Griots Garage pads are good as well. There orange is medium cut and works well. Any of those pads will work. 👍
@@PapaSmurf918Detail OK sir one more question for you. I now understand that all clear coats are not created equally, some soft and some hard. I have two cars I'm going to be working on, my wife has a white 2016 Toyota highlander and my red 2016 tesla model/S. Do either of those cars have soft clearcoat that I should be extra careful with? BTW the Tesla is my work car that I drive 150 mile a day, this is why I want to learn how to cut and polish in order to ceramic coat my cars. my Tesla is taking a lot of wear and tear and I'm trying to protect it as much as I can. thanks again for all your help, your the Bomb man!!!
Awesome video 👌🏽 keep me coming
Thank you sir!!!🤜🤛
U make great videos .Wondering if u could give me a general idea of doing a test spot.Like a softer pad and compound combo to a more aggressive pad to use with the same combo.Confused with hard and soft clear coats
Thanks Greg! Ok so, for instance.. I will start with the least aggressive method ( pad ) when I use 3dOne.. is very pad dependent.. I'll start with a foam polishing pad which does not have much cut to it. And after i do s few passes I'll check the amount of defect removal i achieve.. if I'm happy with those results I'll stick to that pad and 3d One. But if I wish to up my cut I'll switch to a foam cutting pad which will offer a little more cut.. repeat process and check. 👍 you'll find on softer clear coats a less aggressive foam pad will cut pretty well.. if your not getting anywhere then your prob dealing with harder clear. Then I move to the urofiber 50/50.. or a microfiber cutting pad... but, with those they will leave a haze and some micro marring sometimes that require to follow up with a foam finishing pad.. BUT you can use 3dONE still as a finish polish 👌
another quality video. What are you using as a paint prep spray. I assist a. Alcohol H2O mix. Dilution ratio? Will you be doing a video on your were sanding?
Thanks, Dan! I'm using Rustoleum grease and wax remover for the paint prep. And yes I will indeed make a video wet sanding 👍 will be my first time so it will be fun!
Excellent video brother great combo
Thanks Carlos!!! Appreciate it man! Definitely a great combo!!✊🤙
can’t wait to test it
Patrick, it's a fantastic product for sure! You will love it! Let me know when you do end up trying it and how ya like it!👌✊ appreciate the comment!!
Excellent review. Seems the 3D One is based on but better than the S20 Black ? Seems to cut more. Man you scratched that panel up nicely. Do you dilute down the Rustoleum with water ? Does it mix or is it pure solvent ? Capro Cool Pad Wool/MF will but nearly anything with moisturizing lotion so this would be great with it. THanks
Thank you! 3d one is awesome when paired with the right pad 👍👍 yeah I wanted to get a feel for wet sanding and I guess I went a little far but it was all in learning😄 I do not dilute the Rustoleum at all. I use it straight up. I wanna try out some wool pads next. Appreciate you watching man!!!
great results . nice video
Thanks man! Appreciate you tuning in an watching!!
What causes foam pads to separate from the backing, or to come apart? Used some for the first time this week. Added four drops every time I went to a new section until they’d eventually end up too wet with polis. Then I’d blow them out with an air hose & go back to wash at I was doing. The griot brand pad lasted until I was almost done before it came apart. The cheaper pads didn’t last that long.
Honestly I've never had a pad come apart on me! I still actually have this same oad I used in the video. Granted I don't use then daily. However to much heat usually is the cause. And to much pressure. Lots of variables. Quality of pad as well. What pad did you experience this with? Could just be a bad pad.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I went through six in a couple days’ time. I think I was letting them get over saturated. It always happened on the higher speeds.
@@CrowCreekOutdoors Hmmm. 6 came apart???? That's crazy. High speed an heat may be the culprit. I soak my pads in water for 3-4 days sometimes a week before I wash em and never had it happen. Try slowing the speed down an lighten up on pressure. No need for anything past 4.5 on most machines. That is if you have a machine that does half clicks.
One Step😉👍I have to test.Thank You Papa😉Be Safe
Kriso, no problem! Thank you for commenting! It's a fantastic product!🤙✊
Good for you! Bout time bro, you'll love it! It's great with just the orange foam pad, if you got minor swirls and scratching! But that was a bit too much product though... Great stuff for a nice one-step!
Thanks John! Yeah I knew I was using a tad to much product after seeing the work time. Oh well. 😄 was very happy and pretty shocked at how awesome it worked with just a foam pad! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍
What kind of buffer are you using for the 5 inch uro 50/50 pads? Is it an electric no cord buffer and if so what type?
In this video I'm using the Griots Garage G9 polisher... I still have it but I mainly use the Shinemate ex620 15mm polisher now. Both are great units I just prefer the 15mm throw on the shinemate. The G9 cones in handy on softer clear that requires the smaller throw 👍👍. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
what about URO 50/50 on softer paint ? Microfiber pads tend to leave a haze on softer paint which need to be correct after with a finishing pad. Do you think the URO 50/50 would leave such haze on softer paint like a regular microfiber pad would or not ? I know Microfiber pads are great for harder type paint because it wont leave a haze behind. trying to see if this URO 50/50 is good for soft or hard paint with 1 step without leaving haze
The uro 50/50 will absolutely leave haze and marring on softer paint for sure. Will then need a finishing step after. I get haze even with a foam pad sometimes on real soft finicky paints. Medium to harder clear the 50/50 pad is a great 1 step pad👍 thanks for taking the time to watch!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail thank you for you fast reply! so it would seem the Rupes Yellow Medium Wool Pad is still king of the 1 step pads ! you should check it out if u never used it :D
@mk4_max No problem! Umm. I have the rupes yellow polishing wool pads. Those the ones your referring too??
@@PapaSmurf918Detail exactly, rupes yellow finish medium wool pad. does a great job for 1 step correction on soft clear. at least for me, i had great results with no haze. just wish they lasted a little longer
On that panel i would have jumped to wool to see the true cutting power on that trashed hood.
Most definitely if I had a wool pad at the time I'd for sure have. It's definitely some harder clear for sure! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
@PapaSmurf918Detail Of course, bro!
Great vid PapaSmurf, thx! Just ordered my very first polisher...a G9! Also ordered some Uro-Fiber and 3D ONE before viewing this vid. Do you think that combo is ok for a polishing newbie as myself?
Thanks man! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! You'll love that combination. Yes, absolutely a great combo for a beginner. Don't start with a urofiber 50/50 though.. I'd start with a medium cut orange foam pad an 3d one. Then if you don't get results you want you can bump up to the uro pad👍 on softer paint that urofiber pad can do some great cutting where the orange pad will do great an finish a tad better.. the softer the clear the more finesse it will take. Typically I'll always finish with a foam pad after a uro pad or microfiber pad🤙 great thing is you can use 3d one for both cutting an finishing ✊️✊️
@@PapaSmurf918Detail thanks! I got 3D ONE, Uro-Fiber pads, DIY Detail Gold Standard .Polish and both Rupes and McKee's 37 yellow waffle pads to try.
@superado2k No problem! Anytime! Oh your golden my friend. With that combo you will yeild awesome results 🤙🤙 If you need anything reach out! Don't hesitate ✊️✊️
@@PapaSmurf918Detail curious, regarding your experience with different clear coat hardnesses... The first three vehicles I'll be trying this stuff out on will be a white 2008 Scion xB, a two-tone white/charcoal gray 2000 Chevrolet Silverado and a charcoal gray 2015 Ford F-150... All 3 with original paint and never been polished before. Decon will be time consuming at first for sure.
@superado2k so with my experience the scion will most likely be on the softer side.. the chevy will mist likely be on the medium to hard side.. Ford prob right in the middle.🤙 Start out light on each one and bump up aggression accordingly 👍👍 the clear will tell you 👌
Just bought some uro 50/50s , already have 3D one and love it but have always used on the foam pads. How often do the 50/50 need to be blown out and how do you clean them when done? Awesome video!
Thanks, Brad!!! You will love the Uro pads. I was actually blown away at how well the foam pads work with 3D One!!! I always blow out my pads after every pass👍
To clean them I used to use Superclean at about 3:1 dilution ratio and rinse until all residue is gone then wring out and let dry. However recently I have been experimenting with 3D Towel clean about 1.5oz in a 16 oz bottle then just fill the rest with water. Works great!!!
PapaSmurf918 detail guardz pad washer is best, quickest and gentlest way to clean all pads
would this combo work any on situation? im looking to only offer one steps in my mobile detailing simple paint correction its to hard battling the elements out here sometimes
Yes absolutely would work! It's a great 1 step enhancement product! I've done many with it! Since this video I have moved on to other liquids such as Sonax Perfect finish, PhoenixEOD Papacut and fabulous finishing polish, Koch Chemie also has some great polishes! 3d one is great, lil oily on wipeoff but other than that a great polish. 👍 thank you for watching! Also, the pad is huge factor for 1 steps. Depending on the clear you will need to start least aggressive and work up from there👍👍✊️
I just bought the g9 ..I am beginner so look at this video and your newer video..so my question what set up should I go for …the 3d one with the 50 50 pads …or get the griots creams with with the griot foaming pads ..which would you go for …thanks
Is probably go with the boss creams and foam pads👍👍 that's a great introduction to polishing. You will get the hang of it then you can move to the urofiber pad and microfiber pads. 🤙
is the LC orange pad more aggressive than the Euro fiber 50/50 pad?
No. The LC orange pad is a medium cut pad. Urofiber is more aggressive . In between would be the Blue LC foam pad 👍👍
All sounds good .
Thanks Billy!!! Its a fantastic product.. been using it often lately!
Hey awesome vid! How does the gloss stack up on a meter compared to a pure polish like Angel Wax or 205? Do the Uro fiber pads finish out as well as a black foam fine finish pad?
Thanks man! Ummm as far as gloss. I don't have a meter but, a foam pad will always finish down better. To me. On a soft paint these urofiber pads will micro marr and haze a tad. So you gotta finish out with foam. On small harder clear will be a different story. So it all really depends but I always like to finish with a foam pad👍👍
Perfect Video Eric. I am about to order 3d one and I have orange pads but no 50/50 pads. I think this is the perfect product for a 10 year old F-250. It looks like you made a total of 4 passes but how was your pressure on the da? Thanks brother

This combo looks amazing. So this past weekend I was trying to paint correct my truck which has black paint. I was using Meguiars compound and polish with chemical guys orange and white foam pads and it did get rid of some scratched and swirl marks but left behind a haze all over the paint. You can only see the haze with a led light. Not sure what went wrong. I'm just beginning with all of this. I want to try the combo you used in this video and I'm wondering if it will remove the haze from the clear coat. Let me know what you think please. Thank you.
It's a great combination! 👍 so on your truck there are a few variables.. when it comes to black paint you always have to finish it out good or you will see the haze. If you used the white pad which I assume is there finish pad?? I'm not a fan of the CG pads btw. If you used that paired with the ultimate polish after you used the compound it SHOULD have taken care of that haze. Unless the clear is soft.. which requires a little more delicate finishing. Which means a smaller throw machine an lower working speed on the polisher. What kind of polisher do you have an what speed were you running it at???? There are so many variables 😄 It's ok though man, your at the beginning stages so these trial an errors are what make the experience and knowledge form. No 2 cars are the same. It's trail and error when it comes to paint polishing.. I will say I started out with that Meg's ultimate compound and harbor freight polisher ans Griots pads. Great results. The Rupes White ultra fine finish pads are usually my go too when finishing black paint. Feel free to ask or reach out if you need anything. On here, or my detail page on Instagram is Papasmurf918Detail. 🤙🤙🤙
Ahhh man so the orange pad is the medium- heavy cut I used the compound with that. Then used the white pad which is light- medium polish pad, I used the polish compound with that. I have the black pad which is the finishing pad but it was coming apart so I didn't use it... So should I use the black finishing pad with the polish compound? I would love to get rid of the haze and mirco scratches that got left.
I was using the TORQ X Random Orbital polisher with a 5" backing plate. Was around 5 with the speed.
@CJ Oropeza ahhh, ok. Try to turn the speed down to 3.. and just let the weight of the polisher do its job. 2 passes.. side to side up an down... side to side up and down. Then wipe off. See if that works does the trick. Then lmk!
Ok will do. Now do that with the black finishing pad and the polish correct?
Pretty impressive 👏
Thank you sir! Appreciate that!👍✊
Hello, do I need to tape trim to prevent white stains? Can this product damage trim?
Thanks!
Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to watch! I'd definitely be cautious around the textured trim. If some does get on it wipe it away right away. Tape up just be be sure. 👍👍 the smooth plastic like on windows I haven't had many issues.. just wipe off right away..
@@PapaSmurf918Detail thank you very much😁
can you use the uro-fiber+3d the same way you would a finishing polish with no haze and at the same time remove medium defects? or is there a change in technique somewhere to produce a finish with no haze?
Patrick, that all depends on what kind if paintwork you are on. If you are working with a clear that's on the harder side then you could absolutely get away with a 1 step as 3d one does finish out very well.. however defect removal will be a little tougher on harder clear so you may need to re apply and go in for a 2nd pass.. now, if your on the softer side of clear then the urofiber 50/50 pad will do well and defect removal will be much more but you more than likely will need to grab a finishing foam pad or just a light polishing foam pad.. with my experience on softer clear the urofiber pad will leave a bit of haze.. nothing a quick pad change won't fix though! 👍👍
Those Costco towels scratch the fuck outta paint
Any towel can scratch paint technically.... I have nice towels I reserve for certain jobs. The kirklands are just fine for interior.. shoot you work on a car that already has trashed paint and they are not paying to polish.. use some Kirklands... I use em all the time... also, really don't care about my test panels much.. they get thrashed lol.
Hey man, love your videos. How long does a single 2x2 pass take ( what rate are you moving the polisher) and how many passes do you do per 2x2?
Thanks man!🤜🤛 arm speed will always change depending on how much defect removal I'm after. For example, if your looking for correction speed 1 inch per second is a great start. If your just doing a light polish or enhancement my arm speed will be on the quicker side as I'm not going for as much defect removal. Hope that makes sense.! 2x2 section I call up down then left and right 1 pass. I'll usually do 2 passes sometimes 3 depending on the cycle time and type of abrasive. This 3d one has great cycle time and can be worked for multiple passes before it looses lubrication.
Good video Papa 👍
Thanks Keith! Appreciate that my friend!! Definitely made the tacos real tasty afterwards 😄😄

I think that will be a great combo! And as far as will those 2 work together.. after you use the 3d one and urofiber pad to remove coating.. use your paint prep or IPA wipe to remove all oils leftover from the 3d one and then essence will work just fine👌

Would you use this combo on a range rover? Im told the clear is on the soft side.
For the range rover as I like to say with every approach..

I have a range rover I did some time ago here on my channel too! Check it out if you want too!

After watching the video again, I now remember haha, the clear was indeed on the softer side! With the exception of the bumpers that had been repainted.. those were stubborn! The Rupes Yellow pad an sonax perfect finish was a great combo. 👍
I'm starting to learn detailing. U say after using 3D u can put your wax and sealant. I thought if u use this product 3D that was it , your done. Cause I heard this product was 2 in one, a compound and a polisher. Im confused.
So this 3d One is a hybrid compound and polish.. meaning it can be used to cut and finish depending on the pad you use. You are thinking of 3d Speed witch is there AIO ( ALL IN ONE ) meaning there is protection in it.. 2 different products👍 with 3d Speed after you wipe off you are done. 3d one you need to panel wipe then apply your choice of protection. Hope that explains it. Let me know if you have any other questions my friend!

I noticed you said to step a pad down on a softer paint, I'm doing a correction on a Toyota Tacoma which has soft paint and wondering what a stepdown from the urofiber 50/50 would be. Really wanna try the 50/50 and 3d but wanna make a less aggressive test spot first. Just wondering what the less aggressive spot should be with.
Hey man! So, I'd use any medium cut foam pad with 3d one first. Like a lake country orange medium cut pad. They are awesome. Or, a yellow Rupes polish pad. If you're getting good defect removal stay with that pad. 👍 if not, go to urofiber pad. Chances are if it's soft, that medium cut foam pad will work great. Softer paint with urofiber pad can marr and also leave some haze. Lmk and if you have any other questions don't hesitate brother. 🤜🤛
@@PapaSmurf918Detail ty so much
@@josephisaguy no problem man anytime!
On a daily driver that sits outside, would you follow with just a hybrid ceramic or would you actually follow with a wax/sealant? I'm looking to get the swirls out, but not put too much work/effort into a daily driver.
If your looking to not put as much effort in, I'd recommend an AIO ( All-In-One) like the Turtlewax Ceramic Polish and wax👍 you can enhance paint, remove swirls and scratches at the same time leaving a layer of ceramic protection behind. I have a video on that stuff if you wanna check it out. 3D makes 3d Speed which is there AIO but it contains fillers. Me not like fillers as much lol.
Judging from watching many videos it seems the microfiber pads seem to work best for cutting and or one steps and when using a two step,using a fine foam pad like Lake Country or Rupes combined with a fine polish for polishing out.Seems though for most vehicles you can just run the euro fiber or griots orange foam pad for a great one step and finish with good ceramic coating or poly sealant to get that added depth and gloss.
You are absolutely right! The mf pads are superior for cutting and depending on which ones they finish out very very well! And following up with like you said a foam pad will just give it that extra pop if ya want! I need to try out some different foam pads though.. all I have is Griots because that's what I bought when I started lol. Mines well use them. 😄

@@PapaSmurf918Detail that's what I was thinking..I actually like the results of the meguiars topped with topper..its really shiny but was just wondering about that FCC lately..also was worried about hazing from the ero pad on my truck since I never used it but it may not even leave any at all..and if so I could probably follow up with a foam pad and wax and get rid of it.
@@BeardsandCars precisely.. IF the uro pad leaves haze it would be on softer clear.. fcc is fantastic.. finishes great and it may sound aggressive but it's nothing your gonna get in trouble with believe me. But if you did get haze you could just slap on a finishing pad with megs ultimate on a slower speed and it will clean right up👍
Do you use a orange cutting pad then finish with a perfecting pad or just the orange pad for the whole car????
If I'm using an orange Foam pad I don't need to finish out usually. Foam finishes very nice since it's not to heavy of a cut.. if I cut using a microfiber cutting pad then I'll finish with foam perfecting or polish pad. I have found on hard clear that I didn't even need to follow up at all.. usually the softer clear tends to micro marr or haze up. Then you need to finish out👍🏻 hope that helps!!!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail ok can I use the griots finishing cream after the 3d one if theres hazing or just use 3d one with finish pad???
You can use 3d one to finish out👍🏻 if your using the Urofiber pad to cut. You can also in the future use 3d one as a polish as well. Like a 1 step.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail ok thx I'm new to this so learning still. So just need 3done n order orange griots cutting pads n just in case soft clear buy some black finish padd to finish up marring or hazing???
No problem man, everyone has to start somewhere ✊🏼 yeah orange griots foam pads are not that aggressive so you probably won't need the black after. BUT having black pads will be needed regardless so it would be wise to pick a set up👍🏻. Once you get comfortable get some Boss Microfiber Cutting pads.. they are absolutely outstanding.. also, they have the Boss orange cutting pads and the regular foam ones. The boss pads are slim profile with the hole in middle. They will get you more cut then the regular thicker foam pads. Since your new just stick with the regular orange and black pads. Play around and get comfortable with the polisher with those. You will be amazed how fast you pick it up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you know what type of clear coat this test hood has? Thx
This is a 14 benz E class hood.. was on the hard side for sure!!!
LOVE this video thank you! Think I finally found my combo. Question: was your test on a soft or hard clear coat? I've got a soul red mazda cx5 real notorious for a super soft clear and just wondering if you think itd be too abrasive with an orange lake country ccs pad? Love the video and thanks again
Matthew thanks man!!! This test hood is off a 2014 Mercedes e class which is on the hard side. I did use the same combo on a 2016 black Honda accord ( I also did a video on that process) and it worked fantastic.. if your working in soft clear I'd step down the pad 1 notch as you always want to start the least aggressive method first. You may find you get the results you want and not sacrifice your clear coat 👍👍 if you have any other questions feel free to ask my friend!🤙
@@PapaSmurf918Detail found your channel from when you moderated for Pan live. You sir have a new subscriber. Thanks again bud
That is AWESOME you found my channel from Pan's livestream. I appreciate you joining my channel man! If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
Do a test spot before you commit to a pad type for whole car. The product itself will do just fine on soft paint, so just use like a white Lake Country foam polishing pad, or a Urofiber black finishing pad and that should be just fine.
That’s all I use
Landon, fantastic combo here!!! Thank you for watching!!
how many cross hatch patterns do you suggest doing?
I typically do up down then side to side 2 times.. so 2 total cross hatch patterns then check my defect removal 👍 if you are not happy then do 1 more and re check.
New to this but can you use this in combo with ceramic coating
As far as what? Prepping? Or as a primer?
@@PapaSmurf918Detail yes prepping
@@lovedoctor25 yes, this can absolutely be used to prep before a coating. It's however NOT a primer. So a paint prep will be needed to remove polishing oils before a coating or any protection is applied
sorry my english i speak french .... can i use 3d one like a polish (after compound) with rupes yellow pad?
Yes you absolutely can use 3d one as a polish on a rupes yellow pad.. it's a great combination I've used a few times
@@PapaSmurf918Detail oh thank you i will try 3d one after using sonax sonax profiline ultimatecut 06+/03
No problem! If you have sonax perfect finish that would be even better! But if 3dOne is what you have it will work
@@PapaSmurf918Detail oooo ya? dammm oh thank you i have sonax perfect finish i just want to try this combo
@@garcia5986 definitely.. perfect finish will finish down a little bit better. However I've used 3d one plenty of times and it finishes awesome as well. Either way you will be good👌👌
do you know if the clear coat is soft or hard? Thanks
Kevin, this Mercedes hood I'm working on it on the harder side for sure. After this video I did a 2 step on a 2016 Accord, a black one. Hondas are soft clear ( I have a video on that as well ) and the 3d One and urofiber 50/50 pad worked fantastic 👍
