SWIRLIEST MERCEDES Continued....Part 3!! Headliner, More Rock Chips, Pads, Polishers!

This is the 3rd installment of the Seriously Swirled Mercedes Series. In this segment...we replace the headliner, fix more rock chips, correct more scratches and swirls, and try out a few polishers and pads. This 96 Mercedes SL320 is on the verge of becoming a classic and repainting will only lower the value of the car. Let's restore the finish and much more....Apex Style!!

I will keep switching polishers and pads so you can get a look at a variety of options.

[@GDavis49]

I admire your expertise Brian.

[@karenlau9880]

Really impressive, not only a simple correction

[@vinnyman6150]

are there any polishers on the market comparable to the Rupes in terms of operation quietness?

[@coastalkayakfishingadventu7713]

Hey Brian did u touch the chips at all after tattoo session? I live in philly looks like u aren't that far. Thanks for sharing work.

[@apexdetail85]

@@vinnyman6150 I am not a fan of Rupes...So yes....many.

[@jdisdetermined]

My word, those magnified swirls.. 😲😲 Absolutely haunting.. You're a sick man, Brian! 🤕😈 The car was religiously washed with Lava.. followed by a gentle cat litter and paper towel dry.. 😁👍👌

[@richardseem7948]

thanks 4 the mention good friend 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@Codriver72]

I've said it before but theese videos gives you a fantastic view of how you work and a lot of useful tips. Using a cabinet for the pad cleaning is just brilliant. Love this channel and I have got to thank you for all the time and effort to make all the material! We are very grateful.

[@g.osiris1615]

Pad cleaner idea is Genius!

[@jamesbiedlar590]

I love your pad cleaner...best one I have seen put together to contain the dust and splatter.

[@rumrunner1756]

You didn’t even have to move the camera in close after you pulled the tape from the hood. The difference was amazing. 👍☮️

[@tobyhigginbotham2564]

You are definitely the professor of Shine!

[@robertl.4660]

How interesting, I discover how much I can learn from this world of detailing through this video series, thanks Bryan for taking the time and sharing.

[@tomd1301]

can't wait to see the end results... Would love to learn more from you.should teach classes.....Keep the videos coming....

[@jdisdetermined]

He actually does! He holds open instructional workshops at his shop periodically. 👍👌✌

[@jamesbiedlar590]

Headliner looks so much better....great job B!

[@craig.encinitas]

Patience + Time = Apex Detail

[@bcjones181131]

This Guy know's he's stuff, so much information some times I feel like he's teaching like those guys do at tech school's. 🎓👍

[@Neur0bit]

Outstanding. Love these series. Great work Brian!!

[@lifeofbrian9511]

I get loads of useful nuggets from your videos. One of these days... this channels sub count will explode. It deserves to anyways!!😁

[@ldtriton]

I think the explosion has already started... 💣💥😁 I remember back when I subscribed it was around 14-15K. Word is getting out now. 👀👀👀

[@apexdetail85]

You guys getting useful nuggets ...that is all that is important to me.

[@jdisdetermined]

Brian, as with his work, aims for quality over quantity.. If they're smart, they realize the endless goldmine of knowledge freely and efficiently made available here and they take advantage of it.. If they are unable to realize that, it is probably not a channel they could properly absorb anyway.. 😁 But subscriber rate is definitely picking up speed this year.. *Nobody* deserves it more. One of the best channels on KZbin.. not just detailing channels, that isn't even a debate.. I mean best channels period.. 👍👌✌

[@miketimpe8770]

Beautiful work. The black just pops! As always, you provide a ton of great information. The 55 F-100 is insane. I love that color combination.

[@254JROCK]

Priceless, informative great 👍🏻 2 watch a perfectionist at his craft

[@chadj8349]

I learn something new all the time from this channel. I need to learn how to wet sand, some places on my daily that wouldn’t remove from compound.

[@markshane2686]

Great video Brian, your a real pro, you make it look so easy.

[@michelledentino2049]

Incredible series of videos

[@dralmsafer]

Detailing genius... Good luck

[@danmorrissette4814]

A True Master of his Trade , and a Great Teacher on top of that! Thank You Brian! i will wear my sunglasses for the final reveal ~!!! ;-)-

[@EVERYDAYLAWNCARE]

We need a shop inside look sir! Looks amazing!

[@vtecaccord96]

Man learning so much!!!!!

[@tonymattisson6158]

Awesome work Brian! Fun to follow your work through a series of video like this. Ton of information and then you smack in your pad cleaning booth made from a sand blasting booth is just genius. Looking forward to see the finished results on both the MB and the truck. And enjoying to look at the job getting there. Thanks for shareing your work with us Brian!

[@blacky4804]

Man I love your videos.

[@lorenreyes2855]

Brain! You always never (Cease to Amaze) That Mercedes is Beautiful! Or Should I say! Becoming Beautiful! And the Truck WoW! I can't wait to see the 2 Finished projects! Thanks again Brian !

[@davenewton1570]

It’s amazing Bri I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos

[@gregmannos]

Love the multi videos on this type service. Great work..

[@60trickpa]

You just amaze me with your skill and knowledge. Once again fantastic video and series. THank you Brian

[@mikeyp2447]

Huge turn around!!!

[@alanwallace3253]

Thank You for the heads up on the cart. I found the video and watched it. Another great teaching session👌🙌

[@edwingier3346]

You guys are amazing! Can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@marcuscassius312]

Amazing job and truck. The 3D products really change my life as a détailler. I use sometimes ANGELWAX products too. TACSYSTEM compounds and polish are not good at all. I returned all the products I order from them except for their coatings, waterless and so on.

[@craig.encinitas]

🤔 I have only used TACsystem’s Total One Essential primer polish as a base layer for Moonlight and the paint turned out amazing.

[@Abc-tu9ry]

👌👌👌

[@shaunjones7234]

What a great review Brian. I'm so impressed with your work keep the videos coming.

[@bigd9848]

I like how you switch machines ✊Excellent informative video as always 👍🏻💎

[@loopsandthreads5028]

Love this series!

[@williamcharon8860]

Brian great channel. Congratulations. Can you tell me what block where the sanding paper is attached you used for the excessive paint on the rock chip?

[@makinamati]

Polish the bell

[@michaelwhitfield609]

Hello Brian. Great job. Can you tell me what kind of shop lights you're using. They appear to be a double headed black extension shop light . And the wattage . Thankyou Sir.

[@richardseem7948]

as always great video and series. what filler u using?

[@apexdetail85]

Any bondo with hardener will do.

[@markperez6195]

Hey Brian. Awesome job as always!! Hey, did the touch-up paint you used for the rock chips have the clear-coat included together with the base-coat as one application? I need to fix a scratch and am contemplating how to get it done and correctly. Your work is impressive and motivates me to take on new detailing challenges.

[@apexdetail85]

You can do it both ways...mix in clear...or top the base coat with it.

[@Topdeal32]

Hey Brian, would I be able to do what you just did to the Mercedes with a non variable speed DA polisher. I have an RBL 21mm cordless DA polisher.

[@apexdetail85]

It may take a bit longer...but with patience...yes.

[@kikcodog]

Amazing transformation as usual. I have to ask, what's the tat? Can't believe in all your videos I've watched I never noticed till now.

[@apexdetail85]

It goes up my shoulder to the shoulders...front and back. It is a culmination events in my life.

[@kikcodog]

@@apexdetail85 You know, most of us just buy a corvette or something ;-)

[@stephenwhite5444]

I'm suprised to see you using IGL finish polish, first time I've seen you use it....does it create better gloss and clarity than the Sonax or 3D finishers?

[@IxTapewormxI]

How often are you switching to a new pad? I tend to clean mine after every panel but I've had some people say change pads out after every panel. I just dont see the point if the pad continues to produce the results your looking for. Anyway thanks for the videos I've taken alot of your examples and implmented them into my own detailing.

[@apexdetail85]

I dont change...I clean one thoroughly between every few passes.

[@davidleitch3199]

Brian, Do you think 3D ACA 520 Finishing Polish, would do as well as the IGL F3? I was thinking of using 3D ATA along with the 520 as my one, two punch combo.

[@apexdetail85]

It will ...yes.👍

[@satterfielddetailing7119]

Where is the best place to get the 3M precision tape ?

[@apexdetail85]

All of my local auto parts stores have it. Yours should as well.

[@derrick8064]

Hey Brian. This polish or American Global

[@apexdetail85]

They will both get the job done...pick up the better buy price wise.

[@marcuscassius312]

In my area the detaillers are using crappie products. It’s a real joke.
