      Beautiful... Maybe now the opposite... Super mega hard clearcoat just wetsanded from 1500. I had heat issues with a chevrolet. Ever tried the carpro denim orange peel removing pads?

      VW self healing clear would be good thanks but i guess it might come under "soft clear"
      From memory it was on VW Passat around 2012 , i polished a metallic black wagon a few years ago and remember it didn't like heat.

      Great video as always Brian. Maybe a correction video for a knucklehead like me who started a little too aggressive with the wet sanding I use 600grit on my 2005 town car and then I've tried to do graded sanding 800, 1000 1500 2000 3000 to get back to a nice mirror like clear coat I can't seem to get there. I'm using the aggressive Turtle Wax Polishing Compound in green bottle.
      Thanks

    I have the whole line of Maxshine pads , I team them up with Oberk both cut and fine polish work good. However the blue pad is mean as all get out and like to walk. I have to prime it so it softens up a bit.

    • @apexdetail85

      I have experienced that. use more correction liquid than normal to get the pad to settle down.

    • @apexdetail85

      3D one has a better cut bite. A versatile polish dependent on the pad selection.

    Ty for the video, I'm interested in how to compound soft fresh paint. The 3m compound system takes to long for my liking. I am de-nibing (wet sanding) with p2000 and trying to compound&polish it out fast and effectively with todays products. Going to revisit wool pads again. Any combo suggestions do you recommend? Thanks again, Charlie

  • @kennovakowski1246
    @kennovakowski1246 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    You have me sold on the 3D one with the uro 50/50 pad absolute game changer for me works fantastic. For Protection can I use 3D speed on a second polisher to finish only cause it leaves protection or would a sealant like turtle wax seal and shine by hand be a better choice. I guess what I’m saying is am I just wasting the 3D speed and go to a sealant. Appreciate your dedication to all of us enthusiasts.

      Amazed Brian will problably have a better answer than me but you maybe put a little bit too much pressure on your polisher and/or the speed is too fast..did the same error as you the first time but now I’m ok

    I have a 2005 F350 SRW. The paint’s name is “True Blue” which is a dark color.
    I was wondering if you had an idea how hard the clear coat is? As you can imagine, the paint is far from perfect and some scratches, swirls & chips in the paint. In the past 2 years of ownership, I’ve was washed it with Meguiar’s Classis Gold, softly clayed it, used Meguiar’s cleaner wax & recently used Turtle Wax’s Seal & Shine.
    I’m planing on doing a 2 step process to restore the paint using Meguiar’s 105/205 to get the imperfections out. Any suggestions for me? Thanks! I enjoy & have learned a lot from your videos.

    Hey Brian another great video on polishing!
    I don't know if I have missed a video about it or if it's a new product. IGL Renew F4 I believe is the product name. I was confused by AGO description of the product. And what's was peeking my interest is the graphene technology it uses. Have seen some coatings coming with this technology that's are certified installer only coating. And was happy to see this IGL Renew F4 and wondering if you have used it and if it's a product coming up on the channel. Then your thoughts about graphene would be interesting to hear.

    Hey Brian. I was doing an enhancement on a Black Cadillac SRX. I was using Sonax PF with a Yellow Rupes pad on my long throw Bauer and I was getting buffer trails. I was using speed 4 and arm speed was about 1inch / second. I had to end up using 2 small dots of polish and very very fast arm speed to not have buffer trails and get food correction for a 1 step. My initial thought was that soft paint doesn’t really like long throw DAs
    Any insight?
