Bahahahahaha. Truth!!! They gotta wheel cleaner for front wheels and back wheels. Helluva business I guess ! Lmao. This made me laugh so loud !

After's still look like the before's 😄🤦🏽‍♂️

Anyone who knows anything about detailing and the industry knows that chemical guys is a marketing company more than an actual manufacturer of quality detailing products lol. That's why they're videos and products always target beginners. They don't know any better

Lol

😂

Thank you kindly!

Thank you!

Todd, I heard you’ve done this a time or 2? I want to personally thank you for helping me learn a lot. Seriously thank you sit

He didn’t explain that before polishing the car needs to be washed and the clear coat needs to be decontaminated with a clay bar. Experience? I think not.

Glad that you picked up on something!

Thank You!

@@Esotericdetail I’ve been managing touch-less car washes for 13 years with part-time detailing. I’m taking the entrepreneurial jump into the abyss. Thanks the first the motivation.

@@Vjl5280 Love to hear it! I did the same just over 12 years ago: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK2mp7mczte0oY0.html

Thank you. Yes, it's a combination of the right products with solid techniques. If you're missing one of those elements, your results will suffer accordingly.

Did you have to go to Poland to learn to Polish?

Thanks for that! Yes, video shoots can be quite time consuming for many people within our organization, but they're absolutely imperative! Feedback like this proves why we do this. :)

Thank you!

Thanks, and welcome to Esoteric!

Thank you kindly!

Yep...that one's a waste of time!

Just buy some products from our store to help us fund the continued video production and we'll call it even! ;). Thanks for the positive feedback!

Thanks, and glad you liked the video!

Thank you for the positive feedback, and for subscribing! We definitely try to take a no-nonsense approach to detailing, and our instructional videos.

Thank you!

Thank you. There's no need to make things more complicated than they need to be, so we prefer to cut through the hype and get to the point.

I appreciate that!

Thanks for the positive feedback, and you're correct...no unnecessarily complicated or convoluted processes here.

I know who talking about 🤣🤣

I couldn't agree more, some channels (all though very popular and considered the best in detailing) saturate detailers with bullshit information. However I have to say that in some cases, using alot more polish can be helpful. Example: I had an old Ford come in for a correction, and it was resprayed poorly, soft clear with tons of "dead" clear. Rotary results were horrible (with different pad and polish combinations) DA results were better but still garbage, untill I drenched the pad in polish, it was simply taking so much garbage clear coat that it overwhelmed the pad and the 3-4 drops of polish that would otherwise suffice. My point is, we're always learning, trial and error etc., and some methods can be very effective in some cases (which rarely come by). Also, you probably already tried the Sonax Cut&Finish product, combined with the sonax yellow or red pad, its a beast of a product.

That was taken way out of context, this video is missing so much information, this pad and polish combo will remove minor defects. This video while very helpful is CLICKBAIT. You don't achieve the level of correction in the thumbnail without a more aggressive pad and and compound combo. The "mowdown" technique you are referring to is from Larry from AMMO NYC, an extremely reputable and experienced detailer. He has made tons of videos on various techniques that aid a detailer in getting the most effective results in the most efficient manner. The mowdown technique is used when there is oxidized or "a layer of dried" paint on the surface that needs to be removed before you can tackle any kind of defect removal. It requires a microfiber pad and a cutting compound (not a polish). If you stuck with a yellow Rupes pad and some Sonax perfect finish it wouldn't do near as good as a job and the pores of the foam pad would quickly get filled causing a detrimental effect to the paint correction process. This is a testament to the statement that each paint is different and it is important for a detailer to know many techniques in order to be prepared for any kind of correction. I'm sure if you watched his full in detail video you would understand but many people are very narrow minded and want one solution to fix all of their problems. The reality of this video is that the pad and polish combo will remove minor to moderate swirls/defects that most weekend warriors will be happy with but a detailer that strives to remove heavy defects and reach perfection will look at this video and laugh. There is no one-shoe-fits-all when it comes to paint correction. There are so many variables that are in play that need to be taken into account. Please keep these thing in mind.

@@sully7898 Having taught professional detailers from around the world for over 8 years in our academy, I can tell you that the principles here hold true regardless of the paint or condition. Once you have a solid system, it is a rarity to need to steer in a different direction. Clearly, a multi-stage correction is needed for really heavy defect removal, however you'd still use the same processes, principles, and learning points as described in this video.

Thank you, and we hope to see you in our class someday.

Thank you...glad you liked it!

Thank you, and that's what it's all about. I too was once just starting out, and understand how confusing and expensive it can be. We're trying to simplify people's processes...fewer polishes, fewer pads, etc.

Glad you learned a bit...be sure to check out our vast library of videos as we have plenty more great info available for you.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Justin! I figured you would recognize a few of these tips since you attended the course.

I enjoyed my learning there as well. Great investment of time

Thank you!

Glad you liked it, Mike!

Thank you...glad you liked it!

Thank you!

Thank you Andy!

That was Wes, our videographer / editor...we liked it too! :)

Thanks appreciate it.

Did the no priming method is the same for rupes blue coarse foam pad ? if seeing the guy at rupes priming method, it seem will be wasting a lot of product after everytime changing pad..

@@harisyoung4110 We don't use those pads, so we can only speak in general terms as it relates to them specifically. The other concern with those pads is that they have a tendency to "fling" compound all over the place, so with priming, it will only make that issue worse. If you use them, try for yourself both ways to see how it works.

That's been a long time ago for sure!!

Thanks, and glad you liked them. Welcome to the channel!

Thank you!

Agreed, understandable though people don't like change haha. Plus most only care about an "acceptable" finish so just want the speed

Chris Martin I mean if you’re going to do a two or even three step correction might as well start with the rotary.

Haha.

@@MegaFregel Still no need...

@Mike B It's about the technique and process. Use that, and the correction will come. People are watching to learn how to do it...

Thanks Matthew, and great to hear from you!

@@Esotericdetail cheers todd yeah being a long time. Training a few guys who are the future of the industry here in adelaide

Thank you! We like to keep it simple, and not overly complicate or convolute processes just to make ourselves look special! :)

@@Esotericdetail I ordered the sonax product and hey presto, results like never before 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you. On most machines that go up to 6, 4.5 should be your "reference" speed for both actions. While it may change from time to time (slower, not faster), this is where you should be spending most of your time. The difference between compounding and polishing is the pressure, with compounding requiring more.

You can also look into our course offerings that would help you make that transition! www.esotericdetailedu.com

Thank you Jason. We reserve the more advanced techniques for our Elite Detailer Academy Attendees, which is 2 full days of training on paint polishing.

Thank you.

Anything's better than chemical guys 🤣 all they say is buy our overpriced products and have a bunch of sluts in their videos 🤣.

It's all in the technique for sure, and something we teach in our Elite Detailer Academy.

The more you're asking out of your pad / process, the more pressure you will need. So with compounding, you'll generally go with more pressure and a smaller work area. With one-step, you'll reduce it a little (14-16lbs), and increase your work area a little. Then with finish polishing, you'll decrease pressure a little more, and increase your work area a little more.

Thank you, and your answer is merely a click away: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5afZtJhrpy0YYk.html

@@Esotericdetail great I just check out the video and it's a winner for me. I'll get a bottle and try it out. Thanks again.

Thank you.

All I use is a rotary I’ve got 1”-7” backing plates and pads for it, love using it

Glad to hear that it worked out well for you...thanks for the feedback!

Thanks, and glad you're learning from the videos. We teach a simplified system that doesn't really vary relative to paint or clear coat types. Usually with harder clears, the only thing that may vary would be pressure, but that is determined during the test section phase. We are using the exact same machine, speed, product amount, pads, compounds, or polishes regardless of hard or soft paint.

ESOTERIC I guess it’s hard to put pressure due to not having a paint depth gauge. I’m worried I’ll be pushing to hard and burn clear.

@@mannyharrington5347 You should get yourself a scrap panel from a body shop. Use that to practice on. You'll quickly realize just how difficult it is to burn paint with a DA polisher.

ESOTERIC Great idea! I’m definitely going to look into it!
