Lighting is everything, it almost looks perfect at the start but in the actual sunlight you will see swirls but it’s after it’s polished even to the minute scale it looks better and it’s all in the details where without the swirls the paint can truly be admired. I love your content keep it up

I can honestly say Scott, you have sincerely changed my mobile detail business for the better!!! I now use most of the products you recommend&employ your techniques for efficiency or to avoid fatigue (as I'm 51yrs young). The biggest change is my pricing, you posted another video on how you increased your pricing with your reasons. Took me a little time to understand this mindset but once I believed I was worth my increase, amazingly my cashflow has increased¬ one client questioned my increase...Perfect! Best of luck with your channel, detail biz, & new retail products. Thanks again, PC

Big fan of your 'I'm not gonna overthink it' philosophy Scott. Overthinking is a very real thing in the detailing world from my experience so far. Most of us want our cars to look amazing but don't want to spend years of our lives making it happen. It's the old 80/20 rule that applies to most things in life, you can get 80% of perfection with your first 20% of time and effort, the last 20% if you want it is going to take a lot of time and effort and I have a life to lead! Great job yet again Scott

Great vids as always..But I do have a question.. ...Does it matter which type of liquid soap to use as a pre-wash? I've always used Dawn or Palmolive to help remove any old wax,since I'm usually washing,claying with detailer spray,then dry and compound,then medium cut,and finish with fine cut polish,then sealing/waxing..of course, I am using a car wash soap when I do my weekly wash and only use dishsoap when polishing,but should I also be using a car was soap for polish prep also? I'm using the meguiars ultimate line with paste wax and a modified Harbor Freight DA,starting with the red w/ultimate compound,then blue,with maguire's #5 and the black pad with the ultimate polish,then 2 thin coats of the ultimate paste...im a total noob and have gotten almost perfect results on my Shadow Black F150 with this method, but im very curious about the soap and should I be using actual car was soap or am I ok with using the dishsoap for stripping...I just want to make sure I'm not slowly killing my clear and not realizing it...

Thanks for the EXTREMELY informative videos Scott. I'm a car enthusiast and would really prefer to do my own paint correcting rather than taking it to a "detailer". I hope that you won't mind answering a question. 1. Can a 6" compact palm polisher be used rather than the larger type that you use in your videos? I bought one today before watching your videos, because I have a non-orbiting variable speed 7" polisher and I'm scared to death of damaging my paint using it. Though I have no problem spending the $70.00 for a orbiting variable speed polisher; Is it a must have to get good results? Thanks again, Liked and Subscribed.

As always, great video Scott! I have a new black car that for some reason has bad areas in the paint; noticed it yesterday as the sun was shining on it, you make using a DA polisher look so easy I'm thinking to give it a go in the spring/summer. I do have a questions though, it looks easy enough on a flat surface - hood, trunk or body panel but what about areas that are contoured, around headlights, black trim and places like windshield washer ports on the hood? For the contoured body areas do you just run straight across them with the contour or you you just go left to right and up and down to work the area like you would on a flat surface? In the places you don't want to get polish or hit with the polisher - do you tape up those areas? Or do you give yourself some leeway and stop an inch or so before getting to those areas? If I get up the nerve I probably would get the HF polisher and take your advice on getting a different backing pad and using the Lake Country Tangerine (they claim it is less aggressive then the orange (yup I'm chicken) ) and the Rupes yellow that you used with Sonax perfect finish since you said great things about how it makes a black car look. The car is a Hyundai if that matters. Any helpful hints about my questions.

I’m going to swap over to an electric buffer to finish the car. It as just to physically taxing doing it by hand
