How To Polish Your Car! Differences Between Enhancement, One Step, Multi Step Paint Correction!

This video show how to polish your car and what to use. It also explains the difference between a paint enhancement, one step, and multi-step correction.
Paint Enhancement:
The term is exactly what it sounds like. It's solely to enhance the vehicles true paint color, giving it that additional "pop", or "gloss" factor. This process is typically with a medium to soft polishing pad and can take anywhere between 45 minutes to 2 hours (this time does not reflect the prep work beforehand, just the polishing portion).
One Step:
One-step paint correction is a paint correction technique that aims to improve the appearance of the vehicle's paintwork with a single abrasive compound. This method typically involves using a medium-cut polish or compound that can effectively remove light to moderate swirl marks, oxidation, and minor imperfections. Although it is called a one-step correction, it technically involves two separate steps: polishing the paint thoroughly and then adding a wax, sealant, or coating to protect it.
Multi step:
Multistage paint correction involves using multiple machines, polishing compounds, and techniques to remove 95% of the paint surface.

Which do you perform most? Enhancement, One Step, Multi Step?

@1stfrompuertorico568 2 ай бұрын

That depends on what the customer wants, but mostly, in my case, it is enchantment and coating, and then the second one is one step.

@J1Z06 2 ай бұрын

A combination of enhancements and one steps.

Great video Brian as always. You are the master. With a working fleet of 600+ vehicles just fast one steps. I don't need perfection just 5 footers. I do get to test products I personally buy in real world harsh conditions which is pretty cool.

Very informative video Brian! Honestly is not a bad thing for remake videos like these cause I’ve seen this topic before but you may have new tips or tricks. I either do polish or paint enhancement, maybe one steps. Majority of my customers don’t care for the scratches. They want the gloss and protection.

Brian, thanks for this. I've yet to even try to polish my car but now I have a much better understanding of the types of correction. Before they were just in a "finish" category but now I can see what each one does. My cars have never been corrected but aren't as marred as this test panel. I think the one step would work for me. Thank you again for putting this out!

Great video Brian, thanks a lot for putting it out. I have a woodworking background and when I sand a piece, I go over it with several pass in a quite rapid manner, until the sandpaper wears out. I wonder why is it not the same when polishing? Especially since moving slowly has the risk of elevating the panel temperature? Thanks a lot for sharing all your knowledge!

My ceramic coating failed, and I need to polish it off and reapply. Paint is still good. Is a one-step the way to go?

@kimnewling5728 2 ай бұрын

Excellent reminder. Cool video. Would you consider wet sanding certain troubled spots and then polishing the entire car a 2 step? Kinda makes sense calling it a 2 step, but sometimes wet sanding problem areas makes whole job look like a 1 step. Just wondering. Good visual video Brian.

Great stuff Brian ! What about applying protection? Would this be an additional step . Do I need to keep in the context of correction and enhancement?

I've always wondered how many times you can do a paint correction or enhancement before you've removed all of the clearcoat and possibly burning the paint. I realize it depends on the manufacturer of the vehicle and the condition the paint is in.

Bryan, what speed do you use forced rotation polishers?

@BigBear-- 2 ай бұрын

This does help explain some things. What i'm curious about is say you have a newer vehicle thats a daily driver, usually parked outside, and is about a year or so old. No major paint damage, as in huge gashes or scratches. If you wanted to properly detail the thing, would you do a full 2-3 step correction? Only an all in one? Just the enhancement? Or maybe like a light 2 stage, where you don't go super aggressive with the cutting step; either use a medium cut compound/pad, followed by a finishing polish/pad; or just do a very quick pass of a heavier cut/pad combo, followed by a longer finishing polish/pad step.

Is it possible to use a drill instead and buffing pads that can attach to it? Like the ones from Amazon. Thanks.

How often can a paint enhancement be done?

@user-vm9ew6nz1r 2 ай бұрын

That one step has left visual haze in the paint compared to the two step. Imperfections aside, would you be able to achieve the same level of gloss and clarity seen in the two step by altering your pad/product/technique combination?

@jacobspurgeon2110 2 ай бұрын

Question, so you mainly do a one step because how thin the clear coats are now, are new cars only able to be polished “1 stepped” once in its lifetime? If not how often can you do a 1 step and after a 1 step how often a enhancement?

Thanks for the very interesting now what I would really like you to do is on a test panel compare using one drop two drops three drops maybe 5 Droid of polish ... I watch another KZfaqr that has his own product.. and he says one drop is all this necessary and that two or more starts to actually slow you down and makes it take.. so how about we put some science behind it and see if you don't know the detailer I mean you do know him I can tell you which one
