People don’t realize that he is giving away all his knowledge. Basically if you going to a lesson of detailing you have to pay for what this guy is giving you for free, so thank you Scott.
Scott, you've got the best detailing videos online!! Better than the big brands we use are putting out for sure!! I've been a car nut for about 20 years owning over 100 cars but I've just recently got into the professional level of detailing. The past 4 months I've probably watched over 100 hours of videos by professionals and brands. Your demos and explanations, while sometimes a bit long winded, are absolutely the most helpful I've found. Thanks and keep it up please! From Los Angeles.
Everyone complaining about talking too much in this video is missing the point. He's teaching about his process, insights, and judgement as a professional detailer and his audience is other detailers and enthusiasts
Thanks for all videos and tips and instruction. Detailed my first car, my own 2017 Honda using products and procedures you use. Super Clean to wash the car tires and wheels. Chemical Guys original clay bar, Meguairs fast finish liquid wax with a Porta Cable DA, diluted Super Clean for the interior, diluted VRP on the dash and interior trim and door panels, and full strength VRP on the tires, next time I’ll cut it a little to get a matte finish. Citrol on the front chrome and bumper and on all glass to get rid of bugs. Lake Country 5.5 foam pads. I just used a white pad. Since it was my first time I didn’t want to use a cutting wax until I get the hang of it and more confidence in what I’m doing. Playing it safe for now. Tomorrow I’ll detail my 2016 Ford PU. Thanks again Chemical Guys Glass Works for all windows inside and out. Everything worked great 👍🏼 Thanks again
I must say, I've been getting into mobile detailing, and your videos have given me a lot of training that I could not find anywhere else online. I really appreciate you giving your honest tips and opinions on products and methods of detailing!
My dad never taught me how to do this. Anytime I picked up a tool or wanted to tinker with my own car I’d be told I was going to ruin something. Now that I’m on my own, I have the freedom to do whatever I want. I learned a lot of things from this video. Thank you. Trying to search harbor freight but can’t find their store-branded tool you recommend. Granted it’s 2020 now. I’ll check out your other videos to see if you talk about proper DA sanders to choose for detailing purposes. :)
Scott, I was going to have a pro do our cars, but you've inspired me to do them myself. I wish all of my teachers throughout my life were as good as you.
From one detailed to another- I only used a d/a polisher once about 10 yrs ago.. paint was dry and chafed. It was an old sears brand- made the paint come back to life. I haven’t used one since and was interested in buying a d/a to wax compound etc. The video was extremely helpful and to the point- no nonsense and knowledgeable. Thanks for the video.
I just discovered your channel and am bingewatching, lol. I like your no nonsense, no BS approach. If we lived in the same area I'd hire you to do my car. Not necessarily because it needs it or I'm too lazy to do it myself, but to watch you in action and learn. There's no way I could ever get all your experience by myself since I'm a weekend warrior and only have two cars in my "fleet" to play with. But I do love to see rough paint turn great before my eyes, even if I tend to "overthink" stuff and get confused by watching the multitude of conflicting how-to videos on TH-cam. Keep up the good work.
I'm a retired (so tired) lol!!...anyways I just wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite channels on detailing!...as an ex pro I find you one of the most "real" pro detailers out there in you tube land!..use show genuine ways of cleaning and real short cuts if you will. I have found most detailing channels out there are only pushing product and it's obvious!...your the real deal and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!...I wish there was someone like you back when I started as I had to learn by doing....
John Perez great tip. I'll add: machine for those waxes that do not have high lubricity (word?) or have a harder time buffing off (perhaps those carnauba ones as opposed to synthetic)
Hello there Scott , My name is SHARRON OF MS UNDERDOG WASH AND DEALING In Washington DC . I've been wash and dealing vehicles for 8 years on and off and now want to transition to Paint Correction . Your videos are truly a big help. Keep up the good work thanks.
Hi Scott, I recently came upon your channel and really like your vids. Thanks for taking the time to make them and share your knowledge. This vid is great, but the best part, for me, is at the end where you explain, in layman's terms, how to use the feedback from the machine to keep you on the right track. That info is worth its weight in gold. The one and only time I used my Porter Cable for paint correction was about 5 or 6 years ago and now I'm motivated to break it out and put it to use. Thanks again!
As I'm restoring my first car, I am watch your videos and learning how I can maintain it once I'm finished. You and chemical guys are the best. You deserve more publicity than you have!
I watched plenty of videos about detailing so far and you can almost instantly make the difference between an amateur and a pro. This guy really knows hist stuff. Thanks for sharing so much precious info. Not all heroes wear capes (or perhaps you do).
thx Scott very informative. I feel like I should be paying for this kind of education. For someone like me just starting out, they have helped more than you can know. thank you God bless
I have to say: I've been hitting your channel everyday now. Really informative! For applying a wax/sealant: light pressure right? So in other words seeing the black line flying around like a whirling dervish is probably what you want? Cheers Brother!
I'm also going to start out in the next few months. I'm practicing on my car first very soon and have been going crazy trying to find the best beginner polisher.
Thank you so much Scott, I have been doing Detailing for the las couple years and you have been a wonderful help for me, common sense, practicality and integrity awesome combination for good results to the customers and ourselves. May my Lord Jesus Bless you with wisdom Sr.
I use a polish called" Liquid Glass", it says it can be used with a polisher but I've never used one. I watched your video, and went and bought the 6" HF dual action polisher. Main reason is I tore my rotator cuff in a couple of places, so I can't polish my car by hand any more. I 'm going to try it out tomorrow, using the tips and techniques you show in the video. Thanks very much, the tips on pressure, and keeping the pad level will be helpful on my first attempt.🤔
Just ran into your channel loving how you use common stuff you can buy off the shelf at the store and not pushing high dollar stuff if you just want a decent shine and remove some swirls in one of your other videos. You channel is very informative and love how you get to the point. Thanks again!!!
For me it depends on the customer. I have one regular, she insists that I hand wash and hand wax her car... Hose pipe no jetwash, hand wax no machine polishing. Its a noise thing, coz when I detail the other cars in the household theres no such stipulation but she will leave as I arrive. She's the one paying me and shes happy with the result.
All your videos are very very good and full of useful information. I bet you are making people make loads of money Scott. There is not 1 video of yours that I do not like. Im a very beginner detailer but I am following all your advice and will even buy the Mezerna 3 in 1 and HD speed. You teach me a lot and thanks for that.
The only thing i don't like about all the Wax Machines on the market is they go in a circular motion, with the hand you can go side to side motion ! do you feel this way also ? Never liked going in a circular motion even when hand waxing.
I've done my own since 72... I've had detailer come to me wanting to learn what I do to have my cars look deep and 3 D dimensional appearance... its spending full day every 2 months detailing paint by hand with my personal cleaners, compounds, waxes, polishers and sealers made for me by a mom n pop shop.. have never used anything else.. my 68 Bullet looks as good as it did when pops bought me it.
You have a good understanding of your customers and the marketing skill needed to make your business work. You are seasoned detailer. Thanks for the video!
God help you, you taught me a lot. There are many courses in the market, but they do not explain in detail like you. They take the money that's all, thanks
So not paint correction, just advanced band-aiding that simulates paint correction? So you would use this for a car where they just want wash and wax without a full detail in hopes of reeling them in to bite for the full paint correction?
Scott, U can kill me all u want w/ the length of ur videos. U teach me Many different ways. Ur videos aren't actually all that long. Many out there looonnnnger & don't have the quality you do. Don't get the information across. THANKS AGAIN!!!! Yes, I am a dedicated subscriber.
hi Dallas connection I have been watching lots of car detailing videos in the last week but I have to admit you are the best and the most interesting video content on car detailing anywhere on TH-cam
Straight to the point!!!! Thank you for sharing....just starting out in this car wash/detailing world....side business, so your videos are very very helpful ..... and I just passed through Dallas on Saturday....lol....Much appreciated
thank you Mario!...its awesome to have you on my channel, I'm so grateful...you were in Dallas on saturday?..you should have called me..lol..thanks so much for your kind comment
soul reflections you're welcome....I'm a cross country truck driver....I'm in North Carolina now.....Southern California is my home base....keep rambling on!!!!
I like using my bare hands to apply my wax, there is nothing better than feeling your panels' every curve to make sure you get even coverage. Plus, you can just rub your hand together to heat up and loosen the wax too, making it easier to apply.
I've learned so much from you Scott, that I've found myself explaining these procedures and steps to the customers and employees at the local auto parts store. Excellent information and love the delivery. Keep up the good work.
You might "cut" a little of the "build-up", and just get to the point of the video. Over 5 minutes before you got to the "thing you do"? Stories about your customers, etc, is the quickest way to get people to tune out. There's one minute of good info in this vid.
You rock dude! I'm ready to wet sand and blend new paint and compound/polish and your videos have helped me out so much, have always wanted the HF DA so I picked it up today and looking forward to getting to it this weekend. Thanks for the info and positivity!
your right, I did a test spot on a customers car yesterday that just wanted a clay and wax but the test spot I did with hd speed was incredibly more attractive and made more sense then just the wax. The car came out amazing with this product. Great Video
If you're getting swirls which you most likely are its because the speed of your buffer the speed you used to spread the chemical on paint correction was perfect just move slower and allow the machine and chemical to work it must create heat. Great videos !
You are the best Scott, I have learned so much from your videos. Always love your tips and tricks. I use HD speed in the same way. People love it and its so easy to use. Great job, again
They say the occupation with the longest life is the musical conductor. What is similar? Hand waxing. Think about it. You are standing up, moving around, bending over and moving your hands. Unlike most exercise, hand waxing gives you something to look at. And you follow the lines on the car.
Fantastic video. You over delivered in the amount of info and insight you gave. I've watched a bunch of detailing videos and always felt uncertain therefore did nothing. Thank you.
Excellent video and very informative Scott. I’m going to put a black line on my backing plate.that’s a great idea. I’m kicking myself for not thinking of that trick first. Please keep the videos coming
Thanks for taking the time to post this video. If I lived in Dallas (which I don't), I would gladly let you detail ALL my cars. All your videos have been very helpful. You have a new subscriber.
useles if you're using dual action polishing paste or just finishing paste. Wax will do not finish your surface, wax is there to protect your surface from dirt, water milky spots etc
Hey Scott, Love your channel, the videos and the tips... thank you so much for the great insight. I will admit, I hand wax with Pinnacle Souveran (mostly) on the BMZ W209 and P21S on my 03 Jeep WJ, due to cost. I really want to try a DA buffer... but have had concerns. Your input pushes me beyond the sense of unknown / doubt... I like the way you say the machine (like a well designed and built car .my words.) will tell you what you need to know. TYTY!
yes ...up selling paint correction is pretty easy once you know how to show the results to customers... its fun actually as long as you get the right money for your jobs...
So what is the basic process a beginner should use for paint correction? Wash the vehicle, remove any sealant/wax, polish, add new sealant/wax? Or how does it go?
Hello Scott, your videos are quite informative. I have watched several of your videos where you're talking about letting the rotation of your pads get into "The Sweet Spot". You explained it by saying you don't want it moving so fast that you can't see the black mark that you made on a backing plate, and you don't want it to be going so slow that it's hardly moving around. But what exactly is "The Sweet Spot"? Would you please do a video where you put a black mark on a backing plate and show us what "The Sweet Spot" should look like? I'm sure I and others would be very appreciative seeing what "The Sweet Spot" is instead of just hearing about it. Thank you
Machine maintenance is sure to eventually compromise the clear coat. Always use a microfiber cloth and clear coat safe wax. I suggest Wolfgang for paste and Nakedo for spray. FACTS
Great video. I'm a hobbyist trying to learn the best techniques. Picked up the Harbor Freight DA after reading a few reviews and so far I think it has been a good choice. Question: After the HD Speed process would you then apply a thin layer of wax for the additional protection, or just leave it be? Thanks again.
You certainly could, but HD Speed leaves a layer of protection down Thats hydrophobic. I would suggest Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine (easy to find), or P&S Bead Maker as a topper if you wanted an additional layer of protection.
Maybe great and easy to use a machine , but slowly burning through the clear coat after yrs of use is a concern just to have no swirls ? It’s a pain , but I’ll stick to hand waxing . Your video on leveling clear coat help make my decision
Scott - I live 125 miles from you in Mexia, but if I were closer I would bring the car to you all the time. Recently had some body work done to my little black poor mans sportscar and the orange peel is bad. Want to try your advice, but scared I might burn through the clearcoat. Great vids man. Thanks for helping out those of us with little money.

And then everyone would be complaining if he didnt explain would hes doing and say his channel isnt very effective.
@@archiemegel1013 you sound jealous ex-girlfriend. Your feminine side really came out on that one 🤣
The people who complains are exactly the ones he is talking about; the people who judge by what they hear, not what they see.
Yeah i really like how verbose he is.

I paint corrected my wife's car and when i went to pick her up from work she didn't recognize it😂. So the guy does have a point.
ha, the same way we dont notice our lady's haircut (at least, most of us)
@@descry1 right?!! I just let my lady know her hair looks great every day! Just to be safe 😂😉👍
I do both.
Machine - large panels
Hand - tight spaces
I drive a Honda Odyssey. A lot of large, flat panels.
Same, I'll try what you do when my polisher comes. Thanks.
John Perez great tip. I'll add: machine for those waxes that do not have high lubricity (word?) or have a harder time buffing off (perhaps those carnauba ones as opposed to synthetic)

If the paint on your car can't even reflect the sky then you're gonna need to do a lot more than waxing

You have a good understanding of your customers and the marketing skill needed to make your business work. You are seasoned detailer. Thanks for the video!
Absolutely love this guys’ channel. Whatever he recommends, I’m buying and trying lol.
After using a machine I don't want to wax by hand anymore it's too tiring !!!!! I just started using a DA and it's awesome
trust me i know the feeling..lol..im to tired period:)
God help you, you taught me a lot. There are many courses in the market, but they do not explain in detail like you. They take the money that's all, thanks
SIR!!!!
Fantastic tutorials.
I can use Meguiars cleaner wax as a paint correction and it will take out imperfections...and make it shine.
So not paint correction, just advanced band-aiding that simulates paint correction? So you would use this for a car where they just want wash and wax without a full detail in hopes of reeling them in to bite for the full paint correction?

You are the best Scott, I have learned so much from your videos. Always love your tips and tricks. I use HD speed in the same way. People love it and its so easy to use. Great job, again
I prefer waxing by hand... oldskool
@Private Notitia especially the old school ones
Best video on how to use a dual action polisher on TH-cam IMO. Thank you. I will be more comfortable using my new DA thanks to this vid. Peace.

Impressive I used HD speed on my 17 denali 3500 after watching this video and boy I’m glad . Awesome content
HD Speed is a great product, I use it myself. The only thing is it does take a longer to apply then regular wax.

yes ...up selling paint correction is pretty easy once you know how to show the results to customers... its fun actually as long as you get the right money for your jobs...
I read somewhere that you can open up that harbor freight unit and re-grease the bearings. It's supposed to quiet it down some.
Great video Scott. Someone once told me there is no substitute for experience. Keep on sharing.
Great video Scott as usual. Stay well.
Great video bro , great tips , thank you for what you do . really helps guys like me that are going pro .
So what is the basic process a beginner should use for paint correction? Wash the vehicle, remove any sealant/wax, polish, add new sealant/wax? Or how does it go?
Your videos are inspiringly educational! Awesome
Thank you
I miss those extended videos where you explain everything in details.
Hello Scott, your videos are quite informative. I have watched several of your videos where you're talking about letting the rotation of your pads get into "The Sweet Spot". You explained it by saying you don't want it moving so fast that you can't see the black mark that you made on a backing plate, and you don't want it to be going so slow that it's hardly moving around. But what exactly is "The Sweet Spot"? Would you please do a video where you put a black mark on a backing plate and show us what "The Sweet Spot" should look like? I'm sure I and others would be very appreciative seeing what "The Sweet Spot" is instead of just hearing about it. Thank you
At the very end of video he says it doesn't matter, to answer the question of the title, which is what people watch it for.
thank you scott. excellent info once again. Keep it up!!
Scott. Great video. Much appreciated for the information
Machine maintenance is sure to eventually compromise the clear coat. Always use a microfiber cloth and clear coat safe wax. I suggest Wolfgang for paste and Nakedo for spray. FACTS
Great video. I'm a hobbyist trying to learn the best techniques. Picked up the Harbor Freight DA after reading a few reviews and so far I think it has been a good choice. Question: After the HD Speed process would you then apply a thin layer of wax for the additional protection, or just leave it be? Thanks again.
You certainly could, but HD Speed leaves a layer of protection down Thats hydrophobic. I would suggest Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine (easy to find), or P&S Bead Maker as a topper if you wanted an additional layer of protection.
Maybe great and easy to use a machine , but slowly burning through the clear coat after yrs of use is a concern just to have no swirls ? It’s a pain , but I’ll stick to hand waxing . Your video on leveling clear coat help make my decision
Awesome vid, I see that this is 6 years old now, is speed still a top of the line product to use for a polish ? Or something updated anyone know
This guy tells you how it is.
Hey Scott could you do a video on paint chip repairs?
Scott - I live 125 miles from you in Mexia, but if I were closer I would bring the car to you all the time. Recently had some body work done to my little black poor mans sportscar and the orange peel is bad. Want to try your advice, but scared I might burn through the clearcoat. Great vids man. Thanks for helping out those of us with little money.
Holy crap... this is genius!
That's why I use the meguiars backing plate. It has a white line on it for that reason
Technique wins over product every time.Great video Scott!Thank you! What is your take on Griots One step Sealant or the Boss Finishing sealant better.
you crack me up on short video comment scott
This is exactly what I do. Love hd speed! I follow up with meguiars ultimate fast finish!
Great tips and video. Keep up the great work.
love the black line trick!! Thanks!!!
What is the difference between waxing and polishing? I thought polishing was to correct swirl marks and then waxing to protect the paint. Am I right?
The best of the videos ive seen of yours.
Thank you!
This is great information , I love your videos , direct to the point
Totally enjoyed your video. Thanks for the tips and also sharing your knowledge with others - you've got skills...
