Thank you! If I were using CarPro Pearl, I'd dilute it 1:1 for a more satin finish. But I was using Meguiar's Hyper Dressing in this one. I've ended up loving this stuff more than almost every dressing I've used. Apply with a brush (undiluted) let it sit for like 5-10 minutes then wipe off excess.

Orange foam pad with Koch Chemie Fine Cut is one of my favorite go-to's. It can cut away swirls and leave a nice glossy finish, perfect for if you're just getting into this. If you have a car with softer paint, maybe use Sonax Perfect Finish instead of the Koch Chemie. If I were you, I'd head on over to the Googlers and google your car to see what other's say about the paint being hard or soft. Harder = Koch Chemie, Softer = Perfect Finish. Thanks for watching, Hope this helps!

I made it myself lol. Can buy a tripod w/ light socket mounted on it from amazon or anywhere really. And then I bought a 3 to 1 light thingy, and put bulbs in it. Really handy to have a few different kinds of lighting for light manipulation.

@@ccdetailing I'll have to do that thanks man!

Good point, thank you! Its always difficult to find the happy medium with voice-overs or talking parts. I'll give it a shot for the next video that's in the works now!

Grow up

@@T-Man-30 oh it’s going to be long. Just finished with the car. Exporting footage tomorrow. Full exterior revive, interior, and changed fuel pump, carb gaskets, valve covers, etc and got this puppy back on the road.

@ Can’t wait to watch

Just a little handheld mini blower/duster. I got it as a gift and I really like it. Thing does a great job too for what it is. If you just search on amazon or anywhere else Mini Blower, you'll find it.

It depends how bad the paint is. Usually for german paint (VW/AUDI, BMW, etc) My #1 go to every time without a doubt is Koch Chemie Heavy Cut + Griots Orange Foam Cutting pad. I swear, I don't know what it is, but that heavy cut is SUPER aggressive, but leaves like next to 0 micro-swirls from cutting super heavy like you'd get from a microfiber pad + aggressive polish or wool. You will never go back to anything else. As for this car, it wasn't really super swirly and stuff, it was mostly just waterstains. So I used Griots Orange Foam Pad with 2 parts Meguiars M105 Cutting Compound to 1 part Koch Chemie Fine Cut. Might seem ridiculous to be mixing products, but the Fine Cut + M105 makes for a really good cutting polish that also refines quite a bit so the 2nd stage isn't as lengthy. For Refining, I used Rupes Yellow pad + 2 parts Sonax Perfect Finish to 1 part Koch Chemie Fine Cut. The Fine cut helps give the perfect finish more bite. Hope this helps, apologies for the lengthy response. Just wanted to be thorough with what I do/did to hopefully give you some better insight. I appreciate it!!

@ thanks! It will definitely help for next time. I got curious and looked up my DA polisher and found out it might be the issue also. Since im doing this as a hobby for my car and friends cars i bought the torq x fx10 since it was an affordable polisher. I find it to be very weak so i might not be getting enough rotation, it stalls alot even with very light pressure or on curves and edges.

That could definitely be the case, though still better than hand polishing lol. Could always go more aggressive on the product side to make up for the lack of power from the polisher though. Just a rule of thumb to remember if doing that, if you're cutting heavy, make sure you follow back and refine w/ a yellow pad + something like Perfect Finish. Other than that, if you're ballin' on a budget, a really solid budget polisher is Liquid Elements T4000 V2 ($200 via Obsessed Garage. I'd say this one is actually better than dang near every 5" polisher, competing even with Rupes). If that's still a little pricey, take a look at SPTA 5-Inch 125mm for ~$129.99. It's not the greatest, but I bought one in a pinch for overnight delivery when I had a 5" die on me, and I'm still using it, been 2 years. That's the 5" DA I'm using in the video. It'll give your forearms a work out after a long day, but it gets the job done without any issues!

@@ccdetailing Thanks for taking your time to answer my questions! Budget is becoming less of a problem, detailing products are an addiction lol. I recently started buying Carpro products and i see a huge difference in quality and time reduction over brands that i can just grab at the store. Im getting more and more interested in buying « the good stuff » . I will definitely take a look at that t4000 v2!

Thank you so much!! It's awesome to see that people from all over the world are watching this, it really is surreal. I really appreciate the kind words and support! I couldn't be doing this on KZbin without people such as yourself supporting.

@@vbgolfr Pinned! That didn’t pop up whenever I searched for 2018 GTI colors, but when I Google that color name, this is exactly it! Thank you!!

@@ccdetailing it’s one of my favorite colorways for the facelift :) besides great falls green

I've had my hands on a lot of different GTI/R's and haven't got my my hands on a Great Falls Green yet. I want to do one so bad.

Merry Christmas!

Same as I used for the paint, StonerCarCare Paint Ceramic Coating, as for the application is was just a swab. You can go on amazon or anywhere else and just search/find "Oral Swabs." Dab some product into it, apply, and then I had a trim tool wrapped inside a microfiber to help get in there to wipe off. Hope this helps!

Thank you! And absolutely, thanks for making awesome products.

Sure! If we can works things out, I'm always down. Shoot me an email!

1:100 give or take. I usually just eye-ball it in a foam cannon - around half as much as I would do normal car soap.

Thank you! Greetings from Hungary!

It really varies based on your area, type of car, paint and it's condition, etc. But you could expect to spend anywhere between $1,000 - $2,000. Hope this helps!

Lakeland Area!

On what planet is a mustang a sedan besides the mach-e? I'll wait.

@georgeconner285 same as a Camaro,Cadillac,BMW...

Camaro is actually and has only ever been a coupe. Cadillac has a coupe but many sedans even wagons and suvs as well as a truck for a short period. And bmw is all over the place. But mustangs have only ever been a coupe besides the mach-e which is a insult to mustang in itself.

Maybe he's talking convertible instead of sedan. Some people don't know how to differentiate 😅

Absolutely, You make great music! I hope everyone, especially phonk/car lovers, goes and check it out.
