Full Paint Correction! Start To Finish With Results! Ford Mustang.

[@apexdetail85]

Be extra careful correcting re-painted vehicles!

[@larrydavisj]

Christ! Was that a hodge podge of depth and gloss readings or what? I honestly couldn't tell what the make of the car was at first, due to the ground effects, etc.. It really turned out great! Good to see the rotor being used. FTW!

[@mykiman5955]

I personally think that bodykit and black/red paint job makes this car look horrendously tacky but each to their own. Great job Brian on the detail

[@someferarriguy7910]

Agreed.

[@apexdetail85]

I agree...but I need to put blinders on and get the work done.

[@leobordatto9128]

I thought the Red accents were painters tape Brian laid down to correct the paint. Boy was I wrong lol.

[@Ricky_R]

Don’t have time to watch the video yet, but had to come in give big thumbs up for seeing the shop manager on patrol in the thumbnail! 🍻

[@jimpatten7952]

What a sweet car to work on. Always enjoy the informative videos as I am a weekend detail warrior who loves to maintain my cars along with family and friends vehicles.

[@rand49er]

Brian makes some of the best videos. Not a lot of glitz nor wild claims. Just straightforward talk with rational dialogue with no stupid music. Thanks, Brian.

[@TimberTrainer]

As long as the shop manager is happy, job well done.

One happy customer!!👍🏻👍🏻

incredible results. nobody needs more shine than that. lunch, and approval, i envy the shop managers job. 🐶🐾

[@oursulaert]

Thanks Brian

[@stevefulton5884]

Those results were off the hook. Beautiful work. I totally agree with the rotary for a job like this because it makes cutting a breeze. I would’ve loved to have seen the customer do a ceramic coating to lock those results in but I know everybody is working on a budget.

[@peterjurenovskis5933]

Super job guys! I enjoyed watching a car come in with ‘real life’ conditions (unknown depth of clear, swirls, scratching etc). What a difference.

[@lorenreyes2855]

Now that's a Beautiful Turn Around! Great video to your team Brian!

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks 👍

[@lrlforfun]

I noticed the young guy was cleaning the pad with an air blower outside the door. I was under the impression you were now using the 4000 pad washer by Lake Country. Thanks, Mitch

Looks good and I love the product. I used it on my car last week.Excellent as always Brian ✊

[@apexdetail85]

Right on!

[@gabevillarreal96]

What did you end up using for Protection afterwards Brian?

[@coryray8804]

Great job Brain nice video ! Just one question . What did you use after you used Sonax Cut & Polish ? What formula would you recommend to remove any minor residue left on the paint from the Rotary polisher ? I did the same process you did in the video but with a Lake Country yellow foam pad followed up by the Black pad to finish polishing with Sonax Cut & Polish . Then finally a Turtle Wax Graphene Infused finish spray to seal . Turned out great .

[@betametabravo3547]

That will be a happy customer!!

[@robhill8197]

Wow good video Brian. I thought based on what the camera was picking up, your first combo would have been sufficient step 1 in a 2 step. I was surprised you had to break out the microfiber.

[@bigdweeb7829]

[@apexdetail85]

Glad to help

[@ctsean]

So did the body shop hit it with 1500 grit and just stop? I wouldn't have left the shop until they fixed it if my car looked that bad

[@darrellwalthall7802]

What do you store in the blue shoe tree in the background

[@skipgumphrey9579]

Great work as always, thanks for sharing Brian !

[@ronayotte3571]

The way the body shop left that mustang was a travesty... nice recovery!

[@masterwrong3110]

Quick question before I tackle my project this weekend. Will a regular head-light (Walmart brand) work to spot the swirls on the paint? Or is it a specific light that I need?

[@richardseem7948]

Huge turn around good friend. Y is canopy inside and opened?help reduce dust when using ppf and or coatings?

[@josenieto2345]

How would you tackle single stage?

[@BRITTGYPSY]

I ask my customers to prewash for me if possible. Don’t know if that makes me smart, lazy or efficient but I’m never afraid to ask them and it certainly speeds up the detail.

[@apexdetail85]

It would be a respectful thing for the customer to do.

[@Wesssssst]

Is 100 as glossy as it can possibly be?

[@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot]

Watching this video and trying to get motivated to detail my 2018 Mustang GT. It’s also black.

[@jperez7499]

Brian, The Mustang came out amazing. Was this job only a paint correction and did you apply a coating Apex or other?

[@unitymixer]

What brand of polisher is that? Thanks

[@johnpawlowski804]

Was the shop manager eating grass, I guess looking at the mustang paint, made him a little I’ll😎👍

[@denysmantha6007]

Hey Brian, as always a great informative video. In terms of man hours, what is the man hour count for polishing this beast! Love the red wheel barrels

[@KCKwayland]

Another good and informative video Brian 👍, I was interested to hear you say you had your D A polisher on setting 4or 5 , I have a rotary, what speed setting would you suggest, it’s Audi paint work, keep up the great work!

[@mikeanddebboyers6822]

Did you rinse the car before the foam?

[@pwrshots]

Hey Bri, been awhile since I’ve been on your channel. In the process of moving South from the Northeast. I’m curious as to why you did not clay bar the car first. That paint was in really bad shape.

[@choosechancemobiledetailin9587]

Great video and thank you for the information

[@artlayton1425]

What paint depth meter do you use? And why that one?

[@norcalspitshine6406]

Nice

[@johnpawlowski804]

What did you protect it with?

[@RedhandJack]

What's the limit to surface temp for me to compound and polish? It's 100⁰ here. I have shade but hot af

[@dustin3700]

That's one busy looking car, lots one items to polish around. I would definitely increase my base price or do it hourly if repainted. These jobs can really be a pita and come back to bite you if you don't do some homework and use care.

[@nachomandetailingservices1057]

Wow well done. Results look very good. Is he not gonna ceramic coat it. He needs some protection. Spend alil extra and protect his Investment. Pays off in long run. Love the video very informative. And totally will help me when I go to do my car!👍🏻❤️

[@apexdetail85]

We will coat it with our MO Coating.

[@Bartucci1]

Great video as always Brian, what would someone expect to pay for a package like that?

[@craiglyles4755]

Depends on the shop but around 1-2K for just the correction…that was some bad paint work.

[@Bartucci1]

@@craiglyles4755 Thanks Craig, I appreciate the information!

[@apexdetail85]

$1500+

[@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot]

Repainted correction cost me a driver side door clear coat. Luckily it was my own truck. But it looks horrible now. I had the truck repainted in 2005, only a month after I picked it up from the Ford Dealership straight off the delivery car carrier. A deer ran into the driver side door!

[@apexdetail85]

Yes...with little info on the job...there is risk.

[@millerdetailing4176]

Better then Saturday morning cartoons Brian 😂.

[@seancolon9890]

Amazing results as expected from your shop!!! Hideous body kit, but the results are great!!!

[@aldaley3537]

The shop manager approved of most of the work done to perfect the Mustang. The only negative criticism is that hearing protection was not used during the polishing/correction process!!!

[@nickvishnani3948]

That’s a beast of a car 😮

[@moisesperez3693]

Would you recommend a forced rotation / gear driven polisher? Nice video B..

Thats a couple of hours with 2 people right? One cutting and one following polishing up? Looks great. But see what you say about some stuff left behind..

Not knowing if there was enough clear to de-nib and wet sand...they remained.

What was the rotory combo used?

[@apexdetail85]

Cut & Finish + Rotary + LC Wool pad.

[@Super-lucky-7777]

What depth gauge are you using 🤔

[@apexdetail85]

This one is a cheap Nicety from Amazon. Works well however.

[@kimnewling5728]

Interesting car. When customer picked up, did you give owner instructions on after care? At first glance, car looked pretty darn beat up when dropped off. And I'm no professional! Cool transformation.

[@apexdetail85]

Extensive instructions. 👍

[@Super-lucky-7777]

And what was the cost ? Something no one talks about.

[@apexdetail85]

$1500.

[@georgematos1086]

How much of a paint correction can you really get with a cordless? I'm sorry I just don't think it's worth the time to try with a cordless, shine yes, but correction? And trust me your my go to guy and I'm a loyal follower but I just don't see this being worth the time,

Not few hours doing it 1 man. Between washing and doing all the steps plust correction could be 2 days being a 1 man show

[@dtna]

Have you ever heard of anyone just respraying their car with additional "clear coat"?

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely.

[@factsoverfeelings21]

Fox News on the TV. 👍🏼

[@macallanvintage]

In reality, many of the “clearcoat thickness risks” associated to resprayed cars, are over-blown. Even on crappy respray jobs, you will not puncture/rupture the clearcoat with a 4ply twisted wool pad + rotary UNLESS the rotary was wrongly used by an unskilled person. With a DA, there are no issues with any non-foam pads. The real headache is to spend the time to cut away/level any excessive shrunk orange peel that created a dull dim look. The customer wants it to look glossy. Can the customer afford it? Using only a DA would be arduously slow. Another genuinely huge risk is the detailer who loves to mask the areas on entire vehicle before commencing work. Dangerous. On improperly resprayed non-metal parts such as spoilers, handles etc, pulling of masking tape that been sitting there for hours or the whole day or overnight might create issues, which would be blamed onto the detailer. Hence, on resprayed vehicles, IMO…clearcoat thickness is not an issue, unless one is planning to perform wetsanding on areas that hv been previously wetsanded and compounded.
