How to Polish Black Paint on Cars

[@ChefLaRue]

Wash & dry, clay & lumber, polish with 105 until it looks great and finish with 205 polish. Hand buff the crap out of it and protect with wax or sealant of your choice. You're welcome.

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

Wow thanks! One question though @chefLaRue, what do you mean when you say, Wash & dry, clay & *lumber*, polish What do you mean by LUMBER?

[@Michael-se2ii]

@@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys My bad spelling...sorry. I meant Luber to use with the clay. It's very slick.

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

@@Michael-se2ii - gotcha. Luber. One thing I learned while I worked for Meguiar's, and that is it's possible to have a clay lube that is TOO slippery, and this prevents the clay or the clay substitute from doing its job. You also mentioned Meguiar's M105 and M205 - I was at Meguiar's when these two products were first introduced. In fact, the head chemist personally put these products into my hands, in "Lab Sample Bottles", so I'm very well aware of these products. I work for Dr. Beasley's now, so it doesn't really make any sense for me to use, show or share how-to information for other brands. I know this can get lost in the cyberworld, but it is how things are.

[@randysmith1630]

Thanks for the tip about which polish. I used Farecla G360 compound that my brother bought for me. It looks much better, but it still needs a lot of work. I used a medium pad, but maybe I'll try the coarser one that came with it.

[@mikephillipsrealworlddetailing]

@@randysmith1630 - The Farecla G360 is a fast cutting compound. While in theory, the idea is it can both cut and finish on some paints, like harder paints, you might want to try a second follow-up polishing step with a less aggressive product and a less aggressive pad. Of course, doing a TEST SPOT before buffing out an entire car is always a good best practice. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Mike Phillips

[@cutlasssupreme508]

Thats a great product. As he was talking it didn't even try to dry and wipe off was beautifully easy.. it didnt stick.... Wonder how it reacts in a hot climate?

You didnt show us the end result before you applied the paint coating builder. Wanted to see the end results after the 2 step.

[@mikephillipsrealworlddetailing]

You know, sometimes Yancy comes in and gets the close-up and sometimes he doesn't. For this particular instance, we were not showcasing the Paint Coating Builder, but this topic is coming up. Suffice to say, the process I shared created a 100% absolutely flawless finish and the owner was super happy when he saw the results. The paint on this car is on the soft side of medium, and my guess is by now, (it's been months since I detailed this car), it already has new swirls and scratches. Stay tuned, you're going to see some close-ups of Paint Coating Builder on a BLACK C8 Corvette. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Mike Phillips

[@ByteMyWire]

I got into more serious detailing and wanted to learn to do it like a pro about 12 years ago. The person I learned from the most from by far is Mike Phillips. I fell out of detailing for a few years. I just bought a new to me black truck and I am getting back into it. Immediately I went to AG to see Mike's latest, but he wasn't there. 😞 I just found this channel and am very happy to see Mike here and learn some more tricks of the trade from the master detailer again. I've seen Dr. Beasley's products get high praise on other channels, but I wasn't familiar the brand. I will be soon though. 😁

When buffing should you just use a dry towel to remove the film only? Or should you use a detail solution to remove the film?

That can be personal preference. I use a dry towel and wipe-off immediately after lifting the pad off the paint. -Mike Phillips

[@randysmith1630]

Got 3/4 of it done before the sun got me. I used a medium pad and it looks much better than it did. One side is a lot rougher looking, might have to try a coarser pad on it. This was only compound, will have to find a polish next.

Those were benchmark setting days. When I arrived to Meguiar's corporate office in 2002, they did not hold any TNOGS or Saturday Classes, at least not as a regular scheduled class. I started the first Saturday Detailing 101 on Saturday, July 31, 2002 - the rest they say is history. I'm not sure they still hold classes like I started? And I don't think they do the TNOG's any longer? Good times for sure. I'm glad "most" of the pictures still show up in all the threads I created for those classes. -Mike Phillips

After claying, do you use an APC prior to polishing?

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

No. Wipe off residue and keep moving forward in the process. -Mike Phillips

[@Secret_Sun33]

Great demonstration, squeezing polish out of a moisturizing cream tube feels wrong but i see the logic behind it, still weird for me tho.

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

I felt the same way 5-6 years ago when I first used this type of abrasive technology but to be honest, you get used to it. More important - the tubes are going away and these products will now only be available in squeeze bags with secondary squeeze bottles to pour into. Less waste for landfills. -Mike Phillips

[@tripsingh3642]

This video is very imformative Thankyou. I wanted ask was this the speed you moved with the polisher for refining the normal speed you move with the abrasive, meaning arm speed

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

A slow to medium arm speed is normally what you use for removing defects. It kind of depends on the tool you're using. With a gear-driven orbital or even a rotary, you can push harder, which engages the abrasives with the paint to remove deeper defects or any defects out of HARD paint aster. Free spinning tools work, but the entire time you use one it's mostly just the weight of the tool, so a SLOWER arm speed is necessary. -Mike Phillips

@@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys Thank you so much for detailed explanation Mike really appreciated. I'm currently using the Rupes 12e Duetto but I have installed a washer mod on the plate so it engages free Spinning, with out the washer mod I did find it was stalling way to much, plus I group this machine with my custom made 3.5mm backing plate which is custom made for the 12e duetto and its a free spinning one.

Mike: one question. What are your thoughts about wiping off the polish with a microfiber damp with rinseless wash? Thanks Mark G.

[@sk8ordie4691]

Works great for normal polishes. On a primer polish like he’s using probably not the best idea.

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

Sometimes I use a secondary product to help remove product residue but rarely. With the NSP Primers, simple clean water works fine. The problem with most rinseless washes and waterless washes on the market, these products contain silicones, glossing agents, carnauba, polymers, ceramics, graphene, etc. These will interfere with the bonding of the coating so I wouldn't use these with Dr. Beasley's Primers. I do use the Dr. Beasley's PREP WASH, but it does NOT contain anything that will interfere with the bonding of a coating to the paint. Great question, thanks for asking and thanks for watching. -Mike Phillips

How about a red car.mine it seems if you look at it will get a stracth

[@mikephillipsrealworlddetailing]

Sounds like soft paint. In a perfect world, the paint on cars would be on the medium side of soft/medium/hard. And it would be better if the paint were on the hard side of medium versus the soft side of medium as this helps the paint to resist minor swirls and scratches from normal wear-n-tear but this type of paint can still be corrected by the "average" person with "average" tools, pads and products.

@@Greg_P611 - Got the answer from the chemist. He said in a perfect world, we should wait for a window of time of around 24 hours. This insures any bonding/crosslinking, etc. has fully setup. In a pinch, for example a customer is picking up their car and you want to top with Bead Hero, then a couple of hours. The higher the humidity, the faster the bonding and curing takes place and the sooner you can use Bead Hero. Humidity outside here in Stuart, Florida is 63% and in our shop it's 49% - so humidity varies. -Mike Phillips

If you're a *free spinning random orbital polisher fan*, then I'm happy for you and go with it. Me? I don't have time to waste for pad stalling. I also don't like the BRAIN DRAIN that comes with using any brand of free spinning random orbital polisher because the entire time you're running the tool you must LOOK to see if the pad is rotating/oscillating or stalling and just vibrating against the paint. These hours of looking is called BRAIN DRAIN. -Mike Phillips

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

I don't have time for pad stalling. I also prefer not to have BRAIN DRAIN. Here's what everyone does, maybe you do this too? *Brain Drain* Everyone marks their backing plate or their buffing pads with a mark to make it easy for their eyes to see pad rotation or pad stalling. This means, the entire time you're going to buff out a car with a free spinning random orbital polisher - you MUST LOOK for the mark on the backing plate or the side of the buffing pad to SEE if the pad is actually rotating or just stalling out and vibrating against the paint. Everyone can buff out a car using tools that work for them, but for me I don't like to waste time with pad stalling, and I don't like brain drain. I do use free spinning random orbital polishers and demonstrated this and explained why in this video. *How to Remove Scratches from Plexiglass Windows & Windshields* kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2mpnZRpo89kqs0 I wrote a how-to book for RUPES and FLEX, and I feel the same way today as I did when I wrote those books - I simply prefer the speed you get with a gear-driven orbital over a free spinning random orbital polisher. Some people have lots of time to do paint correction and some people don't care how long it takes. Me? My normal practice is to, as I like to say, *"get in and get out"*.

Mike, You have been teaching detailing since 1987 , but you missed one very important step. Before buffing / polishing you must measure paint thickness. Im very surprised you are using a machine polisher not knowing paint thickness. Big mistake !

[@MikePhillips-Dr.Beasleys]

First, it's custom paint, I'm using very safe products, the right pad and tool for the job and good technique. The paint came out PERFECT. I've been detailing since the 1980's and RARELY used a PTG over the decades and never had any problems. I believe in Paint Thickness Gauges for testing when buffing on FACTORY paint - but when buffing on CUSTOM paint - it's a good idea to test but at the end of the day - you're either going to buff the paint or not. So yeah, use a PTG if you feel the need, but I detailed this car to PERFECTION - off camera and the owner LOVED it and there were ZERO problems. He was going to sell this at an upcoming Mecum or Barrett-Jackson auction. I'll reach out and see if I can find out if he did sell it and for how much. Hope that helps you. -Mike Phillips

This is a big industry with tons of great products and brands that I've used and loved over the years. In fact, I have a saying: "Find a product you like and use it often." And I stand by that. Ultimately, it's up to YOU to find the best product for you. Keep in mind that the techniques and methods I teach apply to ANY high-quality product in the detailing world. Quality abrasives are quality abrasives. There are a few things unique to Dr. Beasley's, sure, but the core of what I'm teaching will work for any professional product you might use. If you can remember that, you may find I have more to teach and less to sell than you thought. Thanks for sharing your opinion. And we're just happy you're watching us! More and more videos to come! -Mike Phillips
