A very pleasant video. The shine and glow imparted by Gyeon Q2 wax is amazing! The right choice to bring out the richness of that blue. I hope the customer was super excited with how the Vette turned out. Nothing like the sound of a V8.

Always nice to get new videos posted on a Saturday from one of favourite detailers. I think you maybe be right about the buffer trails. Someone got in over their heads. Using a rotary is a skill onto itself. And I noticed some “toothpickery” being performed,(that’s a Jim White reference) and I got my platform today. Got it at the local Homie Depot. I bought the 375 lb capacity and it was $107 (Cdn) plus the government’s cut of course. Enjoyed this one. Till the next one..

[@brianelias2994]

How a beautiful car like that could have been allowed to degenerate to that condition makes me ill. You did your best to bring it back from Winter Beater status without having the customer pay an arm and a leg. I myself also own a C7 Corvette that I bought new. But it sat at the dealers lot for over six months. Surprised how much water spots, industrial fallout and oxygenation it had. It took me three days of careful and patient detailing to bring it to show car perfection. All thanks going to watching and learning from you KZbin detailers. Each with your own technique but in the end doing it good. A joy watching you all.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man! That’s awesome to hear!! 😎👍🏼

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!! 😎👍🏼

[@harrynazarian3184]

Wow, that paint was really F'ed. It's almost as if this car is parked outside. You did what you could with what you were working with. Even still, with the spots, you guys did an awesome job. I do have a question though, when you applied the wax. I've seen some KZbinr say that when you apply wax, it's better and more efficient to go in small circles to apply wax versus going in straight lines. His reasoning was you will have uneven spread and high spots. I haven't seen this myself, since I keep even pressure and even application on my applicator to avoid such thing. By the way, that Gollum voice was pretty spot on! Haha!!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man! Yeah I heard that also about using circular motions to apply. I can apply using both methods. Sometimes I go in circular motions and then straight lines. As long as I can see the application evenly going on the paint it’s fine. Actually I prefer to machine apply because it’s faster and more efficient.

Nice work Phil. Was that clear coat overspray on the back glass? Would a claybar alone remove that type of overspray or is a razorblade needed?

I believe so. Usually a razor will be the best way to remove overspray on the glass

[@completeturnarounddetailin3536]

Quick question Phil, and apologies if you have mentioned this before, but when you are doing paint enhancements, how many pads do you usually use? Do you change to a new pad on each panel?

Can you use super clean diluted on car paint for hard dirt spots if so what dilution ratio, and for the things I can’t get off with my microfiber mit that are hard to get off and lift? Thanks please help

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Yes you can. We use a dilution of 1:4 and we also pre rinse the paint and that helps dilute it a little more and makes it safe of the paint. It’s also great for hard to remove grime. 😎👍🏼

[@OpusX2010X]

Excellent work! You guys really turned that vet around and I'm hopeful the owner was very pleased. With the Gyeon Q2 wax, how many full cars can you do with the 175 grams of their product? Looks like it did a fabulous job even with hand application. Have you tried it with a polisher also and if so, how were the results? Keep up the great work, always looking forward to the next one.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! I haven’t gone through a full bottle yet so hard to tell. But it looks like maybe 15-20 vehicles if you apply thin. I do use it on the polisher also and that’s even better! I forget which videos I showed that but I’m sure you may find them if you go back a few months.

[@g.dubyou6263]

Phil, sadly enough, this is one of the reasons I got rid of my C7. The paint, is just complete trash. And that solvent pop, is from the factory. I didn’t notice it until I took the car home, and noticed it, with 50 miles on the car. I didn’t even know what it was, until I’d owned the car for over a year, and the dealer refused to do an thing about it. The orange peel ended up being the ultimate demise, for me. I just couldn’t stand how the car looked. I’m going to guess this is a 2015, because the rear decklid didn’t self close when you slammed it. The 2016 and newer, you just pull the desk lid down, and click it, and it sucks it closed. And checking the paint depth on these, isn’t impossible, you just need a $1,200 paint depth gauge.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yeah that’s unfortunate. Some manufacturers paint is just terrible. Yeah I know about those expensive gauges that can read non metal surfaces. I wish I had one but I’m not going to spend that amount anytime soon. Thanks man. 😎👍🏼

[@MirandaDetailing]

Oh no! Sparky that happened! You can use CarPro Essence Plus. That doesn’t have abrasives in it and it removes high spots without removing the coating. You can use it by hand first with a microfiber applicator and if you need to use a black pad and a polisher to help remove the spots.
