Hi Sandro, brilliant again; great explanation on primers. Those few days when natures light, at the right angle, exposes what was previously chased is a very hard get real pill to swallow to preserve, but then the 90% of days and light still gives a rewarding feeling. It's just hard to bear the taste in the mouth of the pill. Please, please, please manufacturers wake up, even future EV's will need some kind of finish; add an option for a second clearcoat run or get the boffins to change its make up. If providing "Wafffer thin" {Monty Python}, then surely they can add in some kind of ceramic at source that will protect for the loss but also protect Sandros craft for those who want the additional mint finish.

Beautiful results! I’ve completed my yearly enhancement polish on my two cars for the last two years with an AIO. This year, I used Rupes Uno Protect which was surberb and followed up with a sealant on one car and a wax on the other. The amount of time I saved was amazing and as there were only light defects, the results were great too. When you’re not coating your car and don’t need 100% perfection, the latest AIO’s are perfect.

But I wouldn’t recommend them for the average user, and although the cordless polisher aren’t quite as powerful they are still more powerful than many other corded polishers and nicer to use, smoother, quieter and very convenient and capable!

I’ve covered and discussed hand polishing in a few videos now, but it’s basically a lot of work to do it right and you really have to physically push yourself to generally get good results but it can certainly be done. Work small sections, use some good pressure and work the polish for as long as you can before you get exhausted, microfibre hand polishing pads can be better for removing defects but hand foam pads tend to finish better.

Hello, thank you for the great videos on this WRX STI. Very professional and informative! I have 2021 World Rally Blue USDM version. The car along with its defects are identical to this one, although it has very slight holograms (barely visible in direct sunlight) in addition to light swirling. I am looking to purchase an Adams 15mm Swirl killer(not the pro), CP Essence Extreme Gloss, and Rupes Yellow pads to correct the paint after this winter, in hopes for a similar outcome to this one. I was very impressed with the results on this car. Do you have a recommendation on pad size (5" vs 6") and your thoughts on the Adams Polisher for the price point? Also, how many pads do you generally use throughout the polishing process, and how often are you blowing/swapping them out? This will be my first time machine polishing - Thank you
@CarCraftAutoDetailing11 ай бұрын
Great to hear you enjoyed the video. The Adam’s Swirl killer polishers are actually rebranded Shine Mate Polishers so they are great machines. I would recommend going for the 5” machine and pad size as it’s a good all round size and orbital throw if you want one machine to do it all. I’ll typically work with 3-4 pads at a time (per day) and blow them out after every set of passes and keep swapping and cycling through them after every few sections to allow them to cool and wash them at the end of the day.

I just purchased a Shinemate EX620 5/15mm, but you had mentioned you’re okay to use the 15mm polisher because this car had minor defects.

Brilliant.. been testing essence for a while now and to be honest, I too have had mixed results and plenty of inconclusive outcomes. I love how easy it is to work with and find it a dream to remove and that more than any other product less really is more! Honestly I just don't ever feel fully comfortable coating directly over them. I think one carpro reseller mentioned that before applying SIC he would recommend a wipe with Eraser albeit after essence has had time to bond - that said, what you explained in this video, that this could actually compromise its bond makes sense too. I've to apply SIC in about a month's time, what would you suggest - stick with a pure finishing polish like Scholl S40, essence with or without an eraser wipe off? Thanks as always. Ps KZbin (or maybe just me) is crying out dedicated video on panel wipes side by side!!

It’s still always going to be a case by case scenario based on what the paint responds well to and what’s most appropriate on each particular case so it’s hard to give advise as I’ll always change things up depending on the specific car, paint and job.

An interesting topic regarding using AIO primer polishes. But I still can't wrap my head around the fact that physically, wouldn't the ceramic coating sit on TOP of the AIO polish and not bare paint? How does that not affect long term durability since most coatings are designed to adhere to clear coat?
@CarCraftAutoDetailing3 жыл бұрын
Yes I think that’s the same issue or thoughts a lot of us have had, but testing the theory out is always the best way to judge it, and as mention in the video, Primer polishes (or at some of them) seem to create that same sort of adhesion and bond just as well based on my own testing - but I won’t say that testing is conclusive, though it seems promising and true.

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Good point, I'm probably overthinking it. (Being a detailing enthusiast I guess we're just hardwired that way lol) Although I did just remember, people used to use Klasse AIO before an LSP and for nearly decades have never found bonding issues. Good topic though, I love the thought provoking approach you bring in these videos.

Hi Sandro, to prime your pad, do you do the “X” method that car pro recommends on the back of their bottles or just 4 dots? After the first initial prime, do you add the same amount when reapplying or less product after prime stage? Thanks
@CarCraftAutoDetailing3 ай бұрын
Microfibre pads are the only ones I tend to prime and I do that but throughly wiping enough compound to cover all the fibres, I find there’s no need to prime most wool or foam pads, and doing so actually causes premature clogging, slinging and dusting. What I do is add a couple of extra drops on my first pass and then drop down to a a couple less moving forward - how much I add depends on the size of the pad and if I’m doing heavier cutting or lighting polishing.

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Just had one more question- Do you recommend applying my Cquartz 3.0 immediately after I’m done polishing with CP essence primer polish or is it ok to wait a few days? The car will stay in the garage. Not sure if coating will bond better now or if I wait. Perhaps it won’t make a difference? Thank you
@CarCraftAutoDetailing3 ай бұрын
Ideally the best time to coat over Essence is between 6-12hrs in my experience, you can wait a little longer but wouldn’t go much past 48hrs.

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks, I should have looked into this before polishing today, haha. Planning to coat tomorrow- by the time I’m available tomorrow it will have been 22 hours. A little late, but I won’t wait a full two days. Also, I have tried to buy you a coffee on a couple different occasions but I keep getting error messages. I live in US, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Do you have another way I can donate? Thank you for always taking the time to answer questions and share your knowledge. Your insight is very appreciated.

how are you finding the yelow da polish i had 2 bottles of it always had a lot of dusting and the second bottlendin't do anything on the paint only was almost impossible to wipe off
@CarCraftAutoDetailing3 жыл бұрын
That’s pretty strange … it’s nothing like the experience I’ve had with it. The Fine DA compound basically never dusts for me, I do find it a bit on the oily side which can mean it takes more time to get that oil off the panel, but it’s a very smooth and easy wipe - can just take more IPA to remove the residue.

What’s your opinion on the updated Rupes pads and compounds/polishes?
@CarCraftAutoDetailing3 жыл бұрын
Hard to bunch them all together as there’s things I like and don’t about all of them, but overall I’d say they are an improvement. The new pads feel even better balanced and performing but they seem to shed tiny foam particles which is annoying. The coarse compound seems to cut and finish better, but it does also seem to have quite a short cycle and dust a bit more. The fine compound is beautiful to use, no dust whatsoever and a buttery wipe off, but it seems to have an excess of polishing oils that mask the finish a little more than I’d like.

How well would meguiars ultimate polish work in comparison?
@CarCraftAutoDetailing3 жыл бұрын
It could have actually worked well - you’d have to test it thought - but unlike Carpro Essence you wouldn’t be able to coat over it as it’s not a primer polish and does have some minor fillers.

There unfortunately is no best results or compound across the board, it really depends on the specific paint, your environment, technique, pads, machines and more. That’s why it’s important to do your testing and discover for yourself what’s the best option of each car and paint.

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing you legend Sandro. That was just what i needed. Im going to move on to hand polishing this evening, and I also followed your philosophy of being minimally aggressive and didnt clay the car because it simply didnt need it. Hand polish with Meguiars ult polish and protect with Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax, applying it dry like in one of earlier videos.
