@victoryensured7137 2 күн бұрын

A little enthusiast tip for a $ saving on a pad washer, in your bucket take out the dirt separator and then place a 5L (1,1 galon) empty bottle (for example i use a empty water bottle, the trick is that it needs to be crinkle-cuted for it to work), form it to be horizontal in the bucket (a little squish) and voila! You have Poor Boy Country 1500 Pad Washer! You just spritz a cleaning solution on the pad and ,,grind it" on the bottle just like with a pad washer. Simple and cost effective.

Almost all of these pads are in my garage and they all have their uses. The first pads I used was the Meguiars system and the microfiber pads work with the 8mm throw dual action polisher. The yellow Rupes pad became a favorite for enhancements as it added a lot of gloss. I use Rupes and Lake Country pads and their colors are slap backwards so I have to pay attention. The DIY pads are some of my favorites because when paired with the gold standard they handle just about any job. Thank you for the video Pan!

I'm only a week end warrior working on my own cars. No business detailing for now. As keen as you, I'm always looking to work with good products, good technique and good tools. You helped me a lot over the years. Thanks for that!! You did not talk about Lake Country hybrid force foam pads in this review. I have many of them (orange cutting / white polishing / red for glaze) and they still are very good. I've done a couple of jobs with them using Griot's Garage Boss perfecting and correcting cream. The results was excellent. Somethime with Meguiar's 105 & 205 polishing compound also. Are they as good as the HDO series you talked about? I'm slowly going toward Rupes DA series for a try. Brand new Rupes polisher I have to try hi hi hi I have also some CarPro white polishing pads.

@PanTheOrganizer 5 ай бұрын

It's not a trend. Dual action polishers have been around for a long time. Picking which type of polisher you want is more based on experience and personal preference. You usually start learning with a dual action (safer) and some more advanced detailers like using a rotary. There's also a forced rotation (direct drive) style polisher. To learn more about the three types of polishers (dual action, rotary and forced rotation), see my video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ97d9N8stOlmWQ.htmlsi=E2JqV6u259k62XSc

I'll comment like I did in the last video. I went with your recommendation going with 3D ONE paired with Buff & Shine Euro pad. I then followed it up with CarPro Essence + CarPro gloss pad. Essence plus was not out yet when when I completed the car. I look forward to trying it come this summer. This combination took car show appearance to a whole new level. I wanted to thank you for this recommendation. The compliments I get driving around is crazy! Was beyond happy. You just can't stop looking it and always want to feel the car when your done. I do have one question for you. If your using say 5-6 pads on a job do you still clean the pads or do you swap them out as you go? I do use Chemical Guys pad conditioner everytime I re-apply compound or polish. My problem is I don't know when to change out. Probably one your best segments yet. Keep up the good work! Once I found out the shelf life of the Glass Parency coating I'll pass it along 👍

Great series. Pad video was the best. Very good camera work when showing the pads up close! You and Brian at Apex are probably the best utube channel for discussion about pads. I've used the Buff and Shine Urofiber pads with very good results paired with 3d one. I've used the yellow foam Rupes pads with great results, too, depending on paint hardness. Could you explain open and closed cell foam pads? Why do some pads have center holes, and some do not? Alittle confusing. The system 4000 pad washer works extremely well with their little packets of soap. Thanks Pan.

Center holes are for cooling

I'm not an expert when it comes to pad structures, so I will let the brands who produce them perhaps dive into this. There are so many different technologies, I would die trying to go in depth haha. But for pads with center holes, usually it has something to do with cooling/ventilation. Perhaps @diydetailofficial can give their take on pads.

Another great content! What pad and polish would you recommend for just removing consumer grade ceramic coating which has been on my daily car for 2 years? I’m not really looking for any correction since the car looks fantastic and also want to preserve the clear coat. I’ve used 3d one with eurofiber pad for my car and also meguiars micropad with d30016 + sonax perfect finish with rupes yellow pad for my another car and both came out really nice for removing swirls. Thanks!

@PanTheOrganizer 5 ай бұрын

Your question is impossible to answer, as you need to figure out what the best combinations of pads and compounds/polishes will be for your specific paint and level of desired level of paint correction. There's no such thing as a one size fits all type answer when it comes to pad or polishing compound selection. Certainly, any ones in this video are great to have in your arsenal. I do test spots before starting a full paint correction, so I'm able to pick from a variety of different pads and liquids to get the appropriate combo on the specific car I'm working on.

What I use to detail a vehicle depends on the paint thickness and level of enhancement/correction. If you are a detailing as a "weekend warrior", mobile detailer or in a fixed location, having a paint depth gauge and a pad washer is no longer a luxury... it is a necessity!

It’s nothing scientific. It’s just a visual guestimation of the visual improvement after your paint correction steps.

Time has come to get my 2015 Lexus RX350 cleaned up after the winter. It is the Starfire Pearl in colour. My product of choice, being a retired 3Mer, is Meguiars. I’ve been washing with Gold Class, in foam cannon & bucket. Love the Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax, for its ease of use. My paint doesn’t really show any defects. Just doesn’t pop the way it use to. Should I use a pre-wash foaming to strip of the surface, & reapply the spray wax. Or should I polishing with the Ultimate Polish to boost its gloss. Then reapply the Hybrid Ceramic Spay wax. Was looking at the Lake Country white dimpled pad over the Meguiars smoothYellow. Also like the DIY Detail Gold waffle pad but they don’t ship to Ontario. The dimples not unlike a waffle pad. Which way do you recommend

Thanks, Pan, great content as usual. For those of us that are not professional detailers and are only taking care of our cars at home, what are some recommendations or steps we can take rather than doing so many tests between polishes and pads? While that seems great, it also seems expensive for the at home DIY’er. For example, I have an E90 M3 in jet black that I would like to bring back to as close to new as possible, without testing every pad and polish on the market to get there. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback Robert. Yes ideally you always want to have different compounds, polishes and pads to select the appropriate combo for your specific paint and level of desired paint correction. That being said, it's not always realistic for everyone to buy tons of different products. So you're in luck, I have a video where we fully detailed an E90 M3 with a viewer, to show him how to do things, and I'm sure you'll love that video and all the info that will apply specifically for your car.

The color code isn't as clear cut (pun intended) as the Rupes system, but I'm curious to see what pros and cons you are able to find in that particular line since that is what I currently use. I haven't gotten terrible results, but I also haven't done enough paint correction in order to identify a difference.

@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan what do you know about gtechniqs brand new ceramic coating, platinum plus? I heard about this today from a detailer that came out to wash my car. I decided to check up on it but didn't find that much information on their website. Gtechniq are making some pretty bold claims though boasting a 7 year guarantee and saying its the next level of ceramic coating. The detailer that cleaned my car quoted a 10k pound figure for the work which I find absurd, see if you can set the record straight on this seemingly bizarre and obscure ceramic coating from gtechniq.
