Those scratches on the hood that the compound “made more evident” is called crows feet. It’s cracks in the paint and it’s the primer underneath that you can see. Only way to get rid of it is repainting. Love your shit Robbie. Amazing work 🦐. Also it didn’t have anything to do with the previous owner. Just happens too old paint.
Before repainting, you have to sand right down to bare metal to get rid of the crows feet

Can you do a pocket tee with an actual pocket! I'd like to sport some swag at work but I need a pocket tee for work. I'm an electrician and I cant function without my pocket!
Same, lineman here!!
My 2 cents:
-for the long haul get Flex polishing machines
-heavy cutting: Meguiar’s mf discs
-pads: Rupes/LC/Meguiar’s
-product: Rupes/Meguiar’s/Carpro
Also you were polishing not cutting first, and alsoooo, get the dual action, so much easier..
Make sure to put a UV protective coating on the lenses so that they don't end up looking like they used to! Nice seeing another civic, been here since the first one was bought!
edit: Buffing compounds almost always make a mess :)
Na you actually dont need that much compound. A couple dots on the pad for every section should be fine
4:31 I can see the word "puta" written on the hood, which is a swear word in Spanish
tough words coming from a guy named ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
I was about to comment that hahaha
Its portuguese, that says "filho da puta" means son of a bitch
@@zegalas21 tugas mesmo no canada vão ser sempre tugas XD
josé Galas nice to see that the word “puta” means the same thing in both Portuguese and Spanish👌
So excited for this build🔥🔥
Meguires make good detailing solutions (the cream/paste stuff) if you wanted to try something else
All I seen on the hood was a bad word “ THE B**** “ that’s all I seen Robbie.
And for the headlight sand it then polish it and apply clear coat should last around 3 to 6 years !!
@4:29 that ain't a name Robbie, it literally says PUTA. And that means gorgeous in Spanish.
Came to the comments just to see if anyone one saw it 😂😂😂😂
Same^ 🤣
Mans really used the whole clay bar and not rip a piece off 🤦♂️
He is new to it so forgive him a little😂
I've never even used one and dunno what it does honestly... 😶
What he said 👆
Alaric Doering it’s takes out embedded dirt and stuff out of the paint but you can use like 1/4 of the bar and clay the whole car
Ive seen people use it before.. dont you just fold it at a certain point?
Hey Robbie, love your videos bro 🙏 Dope to see you're getting into detailing. Since you're just starting out I would recommend you get a Dual Action polisher it is less likely you will burn through the paint vs the rotary polisher that is more likely. Since that seems to be one of your main concerns it would take care of that. Keep the dope videos coming 🔥🔥🔥
I've also found that throwing a piece of fine line or regular masking tape on hard body lines while polishing lowers chances of burning through. then take it off and hit the area lightly.
@@sketchyride6021 true the clear/paint on hard body lines is usually easier to burn through.
My man, shoulda hit me up! I could have walked you through this from start to finish! Looks good though!
hey Robbie car came out looking good. if you want to be a little more aggressive with the compound switch to a microfiber pad it will get more of the swirl marks out. the flinging of the products is the machine itself rotary polishers are known for that dual action polishers don't do that as much. don't quote me I could be wrong just learned that from my own experience
damn, split the clay to at least 3 pieces, u r wasting it
also buy an iron remover if u do polishing next time
First comment❤️🔥
Scrolled through a few comments and didn't see anything so. To eliminate the sling (dots). you put the compound on your pad, rub it around on the car. No power.
Then put it on the slowest setting and spread it around a bit until it's all a thin coat, and when all the globs of compound are gone, you can turn the speed up. This will stop the sling. Also don't buff plastic, mask it off. I think that license plate area is going to look r e a l bad here shortly but we will see. See yah in the next one.
Hey Robbie, I gues these Sprinkels from polishing came because the pad was fresh and not soaked with polish😅 I started with detailing bevor maybe a year and I would recommend you an eccentric Polishing Mashine instead of a rotary, with an eccentric your not running in danger to burn your paint as fast as with a rotary because these are producing way more heat 😅 hope that maybe helped a little bit 😁 I‘m loving your Videos, they‘ve inspired me often and brought a smile up to my face☺️ Sorry if my English isn’t that good but Greetings from Germany 🥳
FIRST, before you polish, always always always lightly mist your polishing pads with distilled water, keep doing it intermediately while polishing, it keeps the polish working, and prevents burn more/easier smoother to polish.. make sure to clean those pads out. you can soak them in water, then run your hands through them, and after the bulk water drains out of them put them on the machine and turn it up to the highest speed and itll sling all the compounds out. also You were using way too much polish. your suppose to put small dots across the pad, one light spray of mist, and begin. good video though bro
The reason you got white specs flying everywhere is the pad needs to stay in full contact with the paint at all times. Thats why pros use 2in polishers in combo with a 5 or 6in. Also I notice you're using a rotary, I'd highly recommend a Duel action if you still have any doubts about burning through clear coat.
Fluffalufugas this^

Professional detailer here, if you want more aggressive cut with the rotary buffer, use a wool pad with maguire's m105 compound, follow that with maguire's m210 polish with that "finishing pad". I always recommend to beginners to go with a da buffer( dual action) itsbeasier to use. Meguiars cut and polish microfiber pads and the compound and polish i mentioned above. Solid results for a first attempt.
You should look into getting some Black Bezel Dual Halo Ring Projector Headlights Head Lamps they look amazing on this year of civic!!!
Look up Ammo NYC on YT. He is awesome with detailing cars. He has lots of stuff to watch aswell.
Bro im telling you you are gonna fall in love. You can do anything to them and you learn thru out !!
Lmao 11:43 “I just don’t want to do anymore”... 1 second later “do more” tattoo 😂😂😂
Good eye 😭
Hopefully my first car is an ek civic and I’ll follow this build
Ay! Check out Griot’s Garage. Evan Shanks says its really good!
Yo the low with stock wheels looks so weird. You need some rims bro!
Hey Robbie. Love you are getting more into car detaling. I will really recommend you get an dual action polisher, instead of the rotary you used, for less a chance of burning the paint. Also you need an iron and tar remover (maybe just iron). I have my own car detaling show, and im would be happy to answer any question you have. Love your videos! Been sub since before "the red dosen't match" keep on the good work!
A clean car always makes you feel better
Get oem ek9 headlights. Or just the black housing ones
Edit: get the ones with no Amber's if your cops don't care about that
*Any Drew peacock fans here?*
I'd love to see the EK with a full sound system in it, amplifier, bigger speakers, a subwoofer and some sound deadening panels, maybe even a custom fiberglass hatch setup?
Let's let Robbie know!
Not really related but there’s a guy in my city with a fast&furious style da integra, and he has it all done up with like 12 10” subs and like 4 amps in a custom fibreglass setup, looks insane
if you like civic truck and brz check is vid they are fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
I doubt you’ll see this but, turtle wax color magic does an amazing job at hiding deep scratches
I hope to see you at some ontario car meets!~ if you need any interior detailing done let me know ;) also may have a pressure washer you could have
El front end swap?
soo i just recently followed robbie 2 days ago and i officially have watched every single civic build video from 2 years ago up til now and let me just say.... i’m more then excited for the new civic build. Jasmines long lost sister.
Why u say out like that
I have a black ek hatch 97 SiR and when I saw you picked this up it got me so excited. This is my inspiration to work on mine now😁
l subscriber and like
no views but 10 comments?! WHATS GOING ON LOL
There is just something about working on cheap nasty car that is just so satisfying to me 🤔. Check out Bowdens own for some great cleaning products
this he say he’s tired cuz he did coke at 11:35?
coat 2* lol
So stoked to see another civic build, just got through rewatching the pre Jasmine build
Oof! Robbie! Lots of good comments already! Read em up! Watch some ammoNYC or pan the organizer! Lots of good detail youtubers!
I do wonders with a cheap harbor freight dual action polisher, 2 variations of foam pads, and meguiars m105 and m205 and a synthetic paint sealant. You don’t need fancy or expensive stuff if you are just a weekend warrior. I’ve polished/cut everything from a 1953 Ford with original paint to my 2016 Chevy. Honestly, with all the equipment for a full on paint correction+protection maybe twice a year on 3 cars you can get by for probably years on $250usd. I understand you’re in Canada, but I’m sure there’s affordable but good polishers out there on Amazon for less than $100.
Looks like a Rotary Polisher. A lot less forgiven than a DA Polisher. You might burn through the paint.
Dang this video came quick. You were posting this on insta yesterday
You slung all that product everywhere because you spread at a low speed and once everything’s spread you bump it up to 4-6.
Robbie you are the BIGGEST inspiration I have. I bought a 96 coupe the day after you picked up the hatch. I’ve been watching your videos for a little bit now but you got me hooked!! Keep up the motivation and fire videos.
Love the vids Robbie!
You made it super hard on yourself by using a Rotary machine... Should have bought a dual-action machine. Good effort regardless man good job.
I have an EK civic toooooo!
For the clay bar it’s better to rip a piece of in case the piece falls you still have a new piece-for the compound,polish, etc you really only need 4-5 pea size drops on the pad too much doesn’t let it do it’s job and try to keep it in a 3x3 and try to do it in a cross hatch pattern just a couple tips(I’m a detailed in California if you can please check out my Instagram @exclusive.detailing626) I love your videos by the way you inspired me into getting a 2000 civic hatchback👍🏽‼️
As a hobbyist detailer. Using microfiber pads for cut, and foam polish along with Meguiar's M110/210 has been my go to since I was at the point you were at. Yeah, those crack are crow's feet my gen 1 ls400 has them, sucks cause it's a full repaint situation.
Doing the Del Sol up tomorrow 😍
Can't wait, thanks for the encouragement bruh!🙌🏼👍🏼
I'm telling you a fast and furious 1 type heist civic hatch just black black black everything
Since the rust spot is UP and not on the wheel arch directly: ROBBIE, CHECK THE FOKIN REAR POKETS MATE, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EK.
If the rust is up and not on the arch it means that probably whole wheel well is starting to rot inside-out, including fuel filler hose area, arch spot welds, rear light mount and maybe the very end of unibody frame that ends at rear wheels. Pleeeeease check these, don't be like me and waste opportunity of saving this.
I am ruining a shirt eveey time I polish something, so I guess it's normal 😁😁
Check out Meguairs UK you tube channel and look at “ Day in the bay “ vids, that’ll give you everything you need to know about products and techniques 😎
Sanding and clear coating headlights is the best way. Sanding is the only way to truly remove the oxidized material and reveal fresh clear plastic from underneath.
for a rookie, nicely done. but as a detailer w/ a group of luxury dealerships, it HURT, watching this video. i use meguirs product for the most part. admas wheel cleaner though. i can't even begin to start with tips here, so many things to note on, ...hit me up if ya want.
Highly recommend meguairs ultimate compound and ultimate polish great for beginners and pros
I dont know how much it will help but you can get black polish and it stained part of my garden black so it probably does good on a black car 😂(I haven't personally used it). Still great job 👍
Wet dots on everything = too much product.
Dry dust spots on everything = fairly normal for compound.
Mothers isn't particularly good stuff either. Keep it up though, you got good results for not really knowing what you were doing lol.
For more aggressive buffing what you would need is what i heard be referred to as a "cutting wheel". however i would recommend to only use it on paint where there is absolutely no concern of "burn through", so basically if the clear-coat is still intact and if there's no evidence of previous "burn through". you can also get more aggressive buffing compound as well. These items make it easier to hide (if not get rid of altogether) much deeper scratches, however i have accidentally burned through paint a couple of times using these items on the corners of some panels so you do need to be mindful. Also using these products do need to be followed up with everything you did in this video to make it look nice afterwards. Also I wouldn't buff a car without clear-coat to protect it, this might explain your previous negative experiences. I don't consider myself a professional on this topic but regardless i hope this helps.
Detailing is super slept on by most car channels! Makes the build look so much cleaner!
For next time, use a dual action polisher, microfiber cutting pads for bad scratches and intermittently clean out your pads with compressed air or a little wedge. They get clogged up with clear coat and product and stop cutting. Mothers products probably "dust" a lot so that's why you were getting all those dots. And Maguire's ultimate compound and polish are some of the best over the counter products in my opinion!
Always puts a smile on my face when I see a new upload👌
Am Jamaican an the Jamaican jlp won an they represent green seeing my car idol in green made my night ☺☺☺☺
Hey Robbie. Could you do some long shirts in the stay committed. I’ve got a long torso and I’m bit round in the centre 😉
Also I suggest watching a couple of ammo nyc videos to get some tips. I can say you’re using was to much compound though.
Ammo nyc will help you with polishing and detailing they have a instructional series and they detail mclarens and stuff for pebble beach.
If you sand the headlights up to about 2000 grit, clean the lenses really well, and then spray with clear spray paint they will stay clear for a long time. I've done this to multiple cars. Love the content!
I felt like a bully when he said that "you guys were all making fun of me" 😂
The dots are also because the machine is a rotary, you don’t get as much splatter from a dual action 👍🏼 also check out chemical guys on TH-cam for tips and tricks on detailing they give really good tutorials
mm you need a cutting compound to remove the scratches and then you can use the pure polish, the micro polish glaze, and the pure brazilian wax.
“Can’t be that much stuff” every detailer looking at how much shit they have •__•
Yo Robbie we having a car meet in Bradford at the library on September 11th at 7:30 u should come, been watchin u for about a year and a half and seein u move back and realizing u live near me is crazy, it would be great to meet u and see one of ur cars in person🙏🏾🙏🏾
Also, the sling was because you are supposed to put the pad on the car, spread it on a super low speed and then work it in once it is spread. The pad probably didn't cut as much because it might have gotten clogged with compound/polish you need to clean the pad out every so often. Dope to see you trying new things brotha, keep up the good work 👌🔥
Robbie the white dots are polishing compound that was scattered by the machine . To prevent that you should rub the compound and let it haze before polishing . Also wipe all the dots or it will stain the mini bike.
6:43 Robbie I know you knew to detailing so for future reference when you clay bar a car you never use the whole bar just a small piece you rip off, about a quarter size not to thick too you want to be able to slide your fingers without putting much pressure. Also when the piece gets clogged up with nasty stuff you fold it on itself to get clean surface until you think it’s too dirty and get a new piece.
Robbie should name the car whatever name is scratched on the hood.... 🤷♂️
The 3m polishing compound kit is the way to go and if you have scratches this deep you should wet sand before buffing the car
3D Products has a clay bar pad you put on your orbital. You can claybar your whole car within minutes with it. Also their product called Final Touch is an all in one spray. I use them in my shop
When waxing, use a synthetic wax if u r not detailing and a natural wax if u r as natural is more abrasive than synthetic 👍
Hey robbie
Just a quick tip, tape off the plastics when polishing because that stuff’s a bitch to get off the plastics. 2nd instead of rubbing it to spread, just put dots with the pad on the car.
Love your vids!
Those white dots were caused by u using too much compound, it just scatters all over the place when u use too much. Go for 3-4 dots and it shouldnt do that anymore.
Obsessed garage has a ton of resources for detailing products / processes I'd highly recommend.
This is a rando comment but dude that coffee mug was a myrtle beach mug that is where I’m from! But dude that flake was so insane I seriously thought the car was a flat black when you first got it
That feeling when, you wake up after a long day of moose hunting, get your morning coffee, sit next to the window that opens up to a fall time forest, check youtube and see that robbie posted a new vid #committedcrew
So the major reason why the compound is flying all over the place is because you have the buffer on too high of a setting and you're using too much compound in one spot. Work in small areas and you won't need more then 3 dots on the pads. make sure once you are done in that area use a microfiber and buff is until the product is off of it. It makes it a lot easier to get it off and I find it gives better results
WAS THAT A MYRTLE BEACH MUG????
get out me swamp
You could still get more out of the paint by using a compound rather than a Polish first. Use a compounding pad as well with it. Don't use a a wash with wax in it or a spray wax while claying it, because you'll have to cut through all the wax with the compound process. The rest of your steps were great!
This video made me realize you can polish a turd!! Love your stuff Robbie!! Keep up the good work!!
Nice video bruh. Enjoyed it a lot. Definitely subscribing.
I used to intern at a detailing shop and the first thing I learned was that black paint it the absolute hardest paint to buff, everything shows up on it and even after buffing swirls can show up in bright light, basically if you learn to detail a black car you can detail anything
Seeing that robbie has uploaded gives me hope that my night will be okay
Really not bad for the first try! And the little dots on your shirt is pretty normal its just the polish on the side of the pad if you keep the pad straight you wil have less dots everywhere and this can happen if you use to much polish but that wasnt the case. Funny thing is this video reminds me of the time i worked at the car factory and polishing cars i once cut open a polish pad on the side en filled it to the max with polish and put the pad on a co workers machine the whole car was coverd with polish when he started had to see his face priceless 😂😂😂
Bro whoever dislikes this mans videos y’all need to rethink your actions this dude deserves nothing but likes and good positive comments
To keep it from throwing compound on your shirt and garage use a small spray bottle and mist the pad with water before you start buffing
hey robbie, one way to get an even deeper shine on the paint in the future, wet sand the car with p2000-p3000 it comes out so much more glossy
