When you're using a clay bar, Continually fold it over to a clean area when it starts getting dirty /turning brown. I have a white FK8 and live in Florida. It's amazing how much iron comes off the car when I use an iron remover every 3 months. Car is very well maintained and is garage kept and it still bleeds purple everywhere. For some reason cars in the south need more Decon than others.
You did such a great job bro, a black car is always out of my comfort zone because I know how hard to keep it nice and clean all the time, you inspired me a lot, I might pick black car and keep it looks good as yours. Love your content
My goodness!! This is exactly what I needed to watch!!! Got a 23 WRX in black and I'm starting to see swirls in a certain spot(black is hard to maintain but I find it fun washing it). Definitely will do this in the future. Thanks man. Always making bangers!
I’ve done this twice now on two different cars. My 2018 WRX I did a wash, clay bar, compound, polish and a hybrid paint coating. That took me twenty hours. My Stinger GT got the same treatment but didn’t need as much compounding so that only took me 15 hours. I used Meguiars products for everything. My take away for detailing is that the results are amazing, but a quality detail takes time and attention to details. Also-like you said, you can never have enough clean, quality Micro fiber towels.
Great video! My 2018 Si has never had a paint correction. I took it through a touch free wash today and it still doesn't look great. Watching this video I realized it has the same "haziness" your paint had (at a greater level lol). Time to get some products and do a paint correction this Sunday!
Do it man!! You don’t HAVE to follow up with a ceramic coating. They’re pretty tricky to apply correctly. You could just do a two-step polish and follow up with some wax
The previous ceramic coating was still very much there. The foam still beaded and rolled off really well. I think that california and Florida sun just made it look gross after 2 years. Crazy because you also kept it in a garage at your last apartment. I don’t think the hood needs repainted. Some touch up paint for the bad chips would be just fine.
Use more soap in the foam cannon 100-150ml will get you better foam. If there adjustment for amount of soap you let out to water ratio wide open for foam.
I belong to Costco and I bought a big thing of microfiber towels,love them.I told you I had my Civic ceramic coated,and it’s weird because I’m so used to washing my car all the time,that I don’t do it now,like I used to do>
Don't know if someone else covered this, but don't water down your foam cannon, straight shampoo, the cannon will add water, that will give you that thick snow foam
Great job, i would say a quick improvement would be to just use a second bucket to rinse the mit when you wash, small particles can scratch paint when you use one bucket
Damn, your Type R looks so clean and shines! You did a great job on your Type R, you should be proud of yourself instead of being professional and $$. 😁👍
Looks fantastic and I applaud you for doing ceramic coating. I’ve never attempted that. I’m old school and I still polish my car twice a year and use a paint sealant like ammo skin and then I use ammo hydrate after a wash when drying my car… Can’t believe the difference you made to your car. We live in two fastly different climates I live in Michigan so I have to deal with winter and road salt and you have to deal with the extreme heat of the summer. Keep up the great videos and I’m looking forward to seeing the tail of the dragon. I went two years ago. It was amazing. You’ll have a great time. Just be very careful, the day that I went there was some kind of a bicycle race going on and bikes were crossing the road wherever there was a pull off for the scenic views, and there were two police cars that were clocking peoples speed. My radar detector went off a couple times and I saw them sitting just off the side of the road. Have a great time. Looking forward to more videos.
Looks good Cam! Are you from Maine? I thought San Diego, I’m from Sanford/Springvale. LoL. Enjoy Tail of Dragon. It’s worth the drive. If you get a chance do a run at night during week. Also watch The Fugitive if you haven’t already. The Dam he jumps off is the start of the Dragon. Gets a little crazy during day on weekends. If you get a chance do a night run. You can just pull over on Dam and look over. Be careful of the Tennessee Cops and don’t cross yellow! It’s a beautiful place. Have good trip! I can’t believe your from Maine! What part?
Thanks! Yes I’m from Caribou. Lived in Bangor for a bit, then Portland for over a year before leaving in 2017. The Fugitive with Harrison Ford? Or is this another movie you’re talking about?
@@Camhill182 I left when I was 11. I get back from time to time. Yes. The Fugitive with Harrison Ford. That’s why it’s called Fugitive Dam. It’s a nice small town. There are many many nice roads around there other the Dragon also so cruise around. Don’t Cross the Yellow is biggest rule. Even more then speeding ! It’s hard to see on TH-cam videos but there’s a few banked corners that the speed you can carry is crazy for almost Hairpin’s. If your doing multiple runs don’t forget a Tire Pressure gauge and pump👍🏻
Great work, kudos for attempting and successfully DIYing. There store bought clay is pretty heavy and I rarely use unless Im going after overspray, paint transfer, or sap removal. Synthetic clay mitts and towels are less aggressive and tend to induce less marring. Lastly (and you may have done this just edited out) clean pads equal better more consistent results, not sure how many pads you used or if you cleaned you pad between passes/panels. You were only polishing so for car that size maybe 4-5 polishing pads, if compounding I'd go 6-7 pads Great job!!.
I’ve had paint correction stuff ready to use when I had my fk8 and never got to around to using it yet lol. You have motivated me to do it soon. Good job man!
Fyi on that Trinova foam cannon, it's known for not really producing much foam compared to the better cannons. If the amount of foam doesn't matter to you then no big deal, if it does you might want to try something like an MJJC foam cannon. I switched to that from the Trinova and it's a huge difference, of course it's much more expensive so up to you.
best foam cannon out there but also one of the most expensive, but thats the price you pay. I had the knockoff trinova with an active pressure washer and it produced tons of foam. Pressure washer makes a big difference too.
You gotta use a pearl weave for leveling first then buff with plush microfiber ceramic coating buddy… and you also have lots of high spots all over the car bubby…
Good job, also that left over ceramic on paint will not come off on the next wash lol. I had a bit left on my bumper and well 3 years later its still there lol ive since sold the car. There is a correct way to remove it but i was just too lazy after doing a two step paint correction and coating.
Need to change the orifice nozzle on your foam cannon, bro. You're not getting anything out of your current setup like that. A 1:1 should do the trick and give you rich, thick foam! You also need to start washing with 2 bucket method, or you'll be right back here very soon, ceramic coated or not....
Lookin good. For rags. I highly recommend "the rag company" more specifically the towels on that site that are made in Korea. Absolute best towels I've used and now I own almost all of them. The Everest 1100 gsm is mind blowing.
My boy!! How's the family life going man!!?? I been out of the loop for alittle.. haven't been on TH-cam much watching stuff... hit a racoon with mine 10k in damage. Took 7 weeks to get back.. I need to get mine all redone by spring.. might try to get it repainted or wrap it in orange... I been having tons of health issues that is messing up me and my working real bad.. Tuesday I go for a cat scan so hopefully can get stuff figured out b4 it's too late... I had hepatitis c.. took 90 day pills ND after I finished them is when my body started shutting down... my eyes don't tear. My face constantly is stinging... stinging all over my body thruout the day ND night... alot more than that too. Found a cyst in my one nut too... my life's getting real bad man... hopefully i can get fixed up here soon! Hope all is well with you ND the family!
Holy shit dude. Im sorry to hear thats happening. Hopefully you get all taken care of and back to 100%. Thats also crazy that a raccoon did $10k in damage! Must have been a big raccoon!
Turned out excellent. 20 hours is a lot of time. But you got the results. 👍 I did for the first time my front rotors and pads it took me 6 hours on my 07 Si. I took my time, no rush no problems. But I was pretty anal and used a wire brush on the calipers, bolts and pad calipers brackets. Nothing more satisfying than a good DIY...I used Centric Semi Coated rotors and Akebono pads, turned out excellent. No break in required with Akebono pads.
Alright so I just did this same process on my rs3, but my God.. I could not get some of the swirls out.. does audi have a heavy clear coat? Or should I upgrade from chemical guys junk?
Audi has a tougher clear coat, yes. At least better than Honda. You should absolutely upgrade from Chemical Guys. They have SOME decent products, but the majority of it does not work as well as some of the competition. These Meguiar’s pads are awesome. If you want super shiny paint, get the gray finishing disc. I’ll be using that one when I do the BRZ in a month or so
You didn't have any issues not masking the trim? I didn't do it my 1st time polishing and it was a big mistake seeing what got on the trim a few days later. It wasn't much of a problem getting it off just a PITA dealing with it after the fact. Car came out great btw!
soyou recommend this ceramic coating? also nt sure if you tried avalon king ceramic coating. but its super user friendly but after a month the hydrophobic properties is gone. how user friendly is this coating you used?@@Camhill182

Put a 1.1mm orifice nozzle in your foam cannon. You’ll get some nice, thick foam!
This makes a huge difference 💯, I would get decent foam before but after I switched to a 1.1mm it’s super foamy and thick
100% 1.1mm is the way to go
Great video! My 2018 Si has never had a paint correction. I took it through a touch free wash today and it still doesn't look great. Watching this video I realized it has the same "haziness" your paint had (at a greater level lol). Time to get some products and do a paint correction this Sunday!

Hm. Maybe it was still on there a bit! Well now its really really on there
You didn't put near enough soap in your foam cannon. I usually put 8 to 10 ounces in mine to get a thick foam.
Use more soap in the foam cannon 100-150ml will get you better foam. If there adjustment for amount of soap you let out to water ratio wide open for foam.
Just picked up the same polisher from HF on black friday. This video is so clutch. Keep up the videos man!
I belong to Costco and I bought a big thing of microfiber towels,love them.I told you I had my Civic ceramic coated,and it’s weird because I’m so used to washing my car all the time,that I don’t do it now,like I used to do>
dammit i keep thinking his next vid is gunna be with it dropped with the springs. Shits gunna look 🔥
I recommend Carpro Reset Shampoo after application.
I really want to do this. But the weather here in Florida is so shit, always windy and raining. Especially when you don’t have a garage.
Don't know if someone else covered this, but don't water down your foam cannon, straight shampoo, the cannon will add water, that will give you that thick snow foam
you did a great job a mini buffer and more time makes a huge difference
Killboy cameras are gonna love that paint Cam!
Great content I need to do this to my RR Fk8 good to see it can be done at home. Without buying crazy amount of materials.
I will definitely be doing this to my next car, this video definitely came in handy.
Damn your paint was rough before this! That FL sun ain’t no joke!
fuzzies on the paint is probably from however you washed/dried the microfibers
Great job, i would say a quick improvement would be to just use a second bucket to rinse the mit when you wash, small particles can scratch paint when you use one bucket
Try the Bar Keepers Friend in liquid form for your window haze. It worked for my water spots but maybe for that hazing too
Damn, your Type R looks so clean and shines! You did a great job on your Type R, you should be proud of yourself instead of being professional and $$. 😁👍
1st I'm seeing the new wheel set up... love it!!

I will have my radar and other people in the group will have some too! We will be vigilant
Damn bro nice build i would say add a carbon hood and put Volk racing black TE37s but overall ur build is sick asf
Looks damn good and you saved a ton of money for not paying a shop
Looks glossy!!! Great job! 💪🏾🔥
18:10 "wouldn't feel good on the-" 💀💀
The unleveled coating will not level out after 12+ hours so it needs to be repolished and applied if you want it perfect.
Hm. Well 🤷♂️ next time 😐

Beautiful family cam !!! Keep it up dude .
I’ve had paint correction stuff ready to use when I had my fk8 and never got to around to using it yet lol. You have motivated me to do it soon. Good job man!
Car looks really good man, good stuff 🙌🏼
I have the exact Sunjoe washer
Car's looking great bro! Keep up the good work.
Biggest tip bro ... keep your pad clean. Dirty pad = Very diminished correction.

+1 for the MJJC, I have a cheap $80 pressure washer but the cannon still produces super thick shaving cream foam.
@@Tanner_Teves same. I have a simple 2k electric pressure washer and the MJJC produces foam like I have something much stronger.
You gotta use a pearl weave for leveling first then buff with plush microfiber ceramic coating buddy… and you also have lots of high spots all over the car bubby…
What’s high spots ?
Cam would you ever consider giving up driving your Honda and say getting a 2023 BMW 330i? What do you think of the reliability of BMW?
Good job, also that left over ceramic on paint will not come off on the next wash lol. I had a bit left on my bumper and well 3 years later its still there lol ive since sold the car.
There is a correct way to remove it but i was just too lazy after doing a two step paint correction and coating.
finnnallyyy got pressure washer👌👌 you need foam soap..
im glad i have a white type r now hahaha black is so hard to get clean as u really want :P
Great Job BTW !
Lookin good bud!
Very nice! Mine next! 👀🤣 I just put a carbon fiber hood on my car.

@@Camhill182 u wont regret them.
Is the car stock ride height here? Just got a FL5 and wanna go with a smaller wheel but i dont wanna lower it. The bronze TEs look great btw.

Black is such a terrible colour to own, due to high maintenance. But looks great when clean. Good job!
You should lower your type r . It will look a lot better and more aggressive!
What percentage tint do you have?
Dude! How the fk did you get in such good shape so fast? What are you working out
two of times a day?
Looks really good! Make me want to try it on my si. How long did the whole process take??
Why not just watch until the end He tells everyone it takes 20 hours 😁
Alright so I just did this same process on my rs3, but my God.. I could not get some of the swirls out.. does audi have a heavy clear coat? Or should I upgrade from chemical guys junk?

Hey man - what did you use to get the stuff off the trim. Did it go a milky colour?
You can clean the trim pretty easily. There are a multitude of products to fix that
Wuddup Cameron!!!!
Time for custom tune from Drob
Man I hate washing my R😂. It takes 30-40 min for it. When I had my mk3 Supra it was like 10-15 min. The angles on the R is what annoys me.
Agreed. The BRZ takes 20 minutes tops, and thats including blow drying it
Has this coating held up with the beading?? Or it wore off?
Update please
Its held up
soyou recommend this ceramic coating? also nt sure if you tried avalon king ceramic coating. but its super user friendly but after a month the hydrophobic properties is gone. how user friendly is this coating you used?@@Camhill182
How many hp it produces now after all mods?
Around 380
How many miles on the type r now ?
34,XXX
Job well done. I just did mines too. Not ceramic though.
megafoam with no foam. it should be like a huge shaving cream all over your car
you need foam maker and better pressure washer mate…
That poor paint
Weird being this early
Black is a color in a car I will never get it easily shows any minor swirl . But nice car though 🍻.
You’re doing it wrong way too fast you should be doing it 2-3x you’re rushing it and wanna get it done so fast that’s why you have a lot of hazing
