As fun as it is to watch people polish their paint to perfection on KZfaq, not everyone is going to have 12+ hours to do the same on their vehicle.
Not including how much money you spend to purchase all the necessary tools/products to perform that level of work.
In this video, I break things down to very simple methods to get your car looking much better without spending an enormous amount of time on it.

Just wanted to say, I followed this concept this past weekend. Although I was doing an actual one step paint correction, I didn't spend the first two hours washing the vehicle. I typically will do sections of a vehicle at a time, instead of an entire one. I just don't have the time it takes to paint correct an entire vehicle in one sitting! So, I simply washed with a mf towel with a bucket of water and ONR. I also did not do a decontamination wash, but did use an iron removal. In total, I took maybe 10 minutes to wash the vehicle, versus my normal 1.5 hours. Also, I ended up using one pad for the entire side of the vehicle. I simply washed it with a hose, and then put it on the DA polisher, turned it on, and almost instantly dried. Got to say, it came out absolutely amazing. With the wash, I took the advice that I am not going to make the paint that much worse by washing it in this method. Especially if the vehicle already has the swirl marks. I spent the time doing the paint correction, which is the part I truly enjoy the most. Thank you for your practical approach. It makes sense, and it works!

Just finished doing the hood, trunk and roof of my vehicle. Used one step HD Speed orange pad and a max shine tool. Had a blast and the results are totally unreal. All the scratches are gone, GONE! Been working up the courage to do this since I just bought this car used looks like brand new. Now a wax or a sealer was also thinking ceramic spray. Having a ball doing this . I feel like a professional. LOL just make sure to clean the pad off once in awhile you will get splashed....lol Thanks this would be fun as a business.

Like others have said, you speak to the real world where the majority of detailing needs involve daily drivers and customers looking to spend maybe $150 - $250 to make their cars look better than they have since they were a few months old. Most of the other KZfaq detailers seem to have an elite clientele and promote a different product in every video. If you're starting out the main thing is to get jobs, as you always say.. Using your all-in-one paint enhancement method seems to meet the need for the daily driver market. Maybe add a spray on, wipe off wax like Turtle Wax Ice or Meguiars and you'll have a happy customer. Oscar, I like that you started with a few brushes and apc and detailed several cars before you started adding equipment. I'm guessing you had a vac like the Rigid early on, right? The best "product" is the detailer himself!

@MsNavykitten 5 жыл бұрын

Love this video as I am getting myself together so I can start detailing doing the research and everything. I haven't fully started because of the typical fear of messing up or not doing a good enough job when it comes to a customer's car. Even though I feel like I have the skills and tools needed to do any job there is always that what if in the back of my head. Though I know in another video where you said it isn't required a auto detailing school opened up in my area finally last weekend and I am looking to do that first if for no other reason for the confidence.

Everyone needs to be careful about buying detailing products. if your young and just graduated high school or whatever, it's best to look into high volume detailing dealership, so that way you have an idea what it's like. Use the dealership to figure out what you need, plan and save up to invest in your future auto detailing business. At the end of the day, If you don't like this back breaking industry, quit dreaming and quit the job. And trust me detailing at the dealership is the last place you want as your career. No matter how much effort you put in it. The manager won't give you $25/ hour or high paying salary. It's the lowest position at any dealership. Theyll pay you minimum plus some bonuses or no bonus at all. This is my advice for auto detailing. Think of it as getting paid to learn the industry if you taking time off from college.

If you want to use an analogy, it's like battery charging. You will take 20 minutes for charging 80% and 3 hours for the 20% left. For polishing it's the same. On forums, they talk like surgeon.They act as if the car was a person in a coma and needed intensive care. They spend two or three days to perfectly polish a daily driver. After that they will go to work with the car, go to supermarket, downtown...and the car will be scratched in the first minutes. If they work for a customer, the first wash will scratch the car everywhere. They will bring the car to the car wash. Now I'im polishing my car once a year. Wash, clay and one step polishing with 3in1 polish from Chemical Guy. With a microscope, I can see micro-scratch. I don't care. I don't use microscope like stupid guys on the forums. You're fast, efficient, the job is done and 99% of the owner won't see the difference between a perfect polished car and a standard polished car. You're right. Thanks for this video.

Just use griots fast correcting cream. Less passes, less time and better results

Carlos Rivera on hard paint sure, but on the softer stuff you are left with a haze that should be followed up with perfecting cream, I usually go for the correcting cream instead if I’m going for a one step, not as aggressive as fast correcting cream, but still works really well.

@@STILLNIGHTPEARL Ding ding ding!!!!! Ihave been getting that question. What is the difference between hard pant and soft pant. I have no clue why. So what is the difference. How do you tell. As a safe choice what polish would you use on a soft pant?

@STILLNIGHTPEARL 5 жыл бұрын

Patrick Guida people call it soft paint or hard paint, but what they’re really talking about is the hardness of the clear, because after all that is what you’re leveling off, and not the actual paint, of course on single stage paint it is the paint that you are removing, and exposing a fresh surface. Generally, when clear is soft, it corrects easier with a compound or polish, but because it corrects easier, it also swirls, and scratches easier, along with hazing easier as well, that’s why you need to follow up with a polish after compounding soft clear. Harder clear is more difficult to correct, usually you need a more aggressive combo to level it off, but it might not require an extra polishing step since harder clear doesn’t haze as easily, harder clear seems to finish better as well, polishes out really nice, the softer clear sometimes requires a lot of polishing in order to get rid of the haze, and have it pop really good.

Who takes 12 hours polishing a vehicle? Unless you meant paint correction. So everyone can understand polishing isn’t gonna take away any scratches it’ll fill it in but once IPA wipe you might see the scratches again

People can easily take 12 hours polishing.. really I meant for whatever you do that involves the polosher

Hey Oscar I don't have onr can I use an apc to prime and clean the pads?

@stephenlynn9086 5 жыл бұрын

ONR is extremely cheap. I would suggest getting a gallon. You can use APC in a pinch but I wouldn't use that as your main pad cleaner.

Yeison Galeano that’s awesome! Make sure you check out the dilution ratios. It seriously lasts forever because you barely need any when washing or claying. It makes a great clay bar lubricant as well.
