Great video. I plan to do this sort of thing on my wife's car while she's gone visiting her sister for a month. She'll be surprised.🎉

[@cgraham6]

Always satisfying to see neglected paint get the care it needs. I would never let my paint get to anywhere near this state, but there's no shortage of other cars that are. Good video!

[@Gnetbird]

Agreed!!!🤯

[@imjoshv]

Thanks!!

[@Jay_P86]

[@simonmarsh5007]

Very good example 👍

[@coreymerritt7742]

Nice job josh big improvement 😊

[@wlanceg]

Definitely brought the paint back to life. You didn't really touch on how much less fade there was afterwards. It made a significant difference.

[@imjoshv]

Ya cutting through the layer of contamination that was diffusing the gloss made a big difference. Thanks for watching!!

[@archiepezek]

Always great content Josh. Thank you.

[@imjoshv]

I appreciate that!

Great job as always and what a huge difference. I also liked the little lizard cameo at 22:57 running off to the left. :D

[@user-tv9kn2mg5w]

I love this channel

[@davestewart9146]

Excellent demonstration, thanks Josh 👍😁

[@imjoshv]

No problem 👍

[@LAGg9035]

Thanks for the very detailed video. You could really see the difference.

[@imjoshv]

Thanks for watching!

[@sportil84]

Can’t wait to see the DI system you mentioned in a previous video. When is that video coming?

[@arnick2]

I always enjoy your videos! I learn so much from your videos - always 5 stars!

[@imjoshv]

Wow, thank you!

[@johnrayenriquez2623]

Good Job Josh I like these videos I am going to try this on my 14 truck tomorrow I got my rag clay scrub in the mail can use a topper like tec582 after meguiars polish for protection after my weekly wash

[@eddiehall5644]

Josh been watching lots of your videos got a 2004 ram pickup I beat around in been testing a lot of the ways you do on these videos the old truck is coming back to life when done hopefully the wife lets me tackle her 2021 ford explore she loves them automatic car wash’s lol

[@stephenkrampert3430]

Thank you for all the great educational videos been doing it for years and always learn something new. Could you please post where to get the pressure washer fittings you use. Thank you.

[@o0Hotiron0o]

Thank you

[@maximus3730]

22:57 🦎 Another great video, Josh!

[@robertmurdock7530]

Great video Josh! I have a 2018 Murano that has never gone through this process. It's garage-stored, so the paint is in much better shape. Some work needed on the B & C pillars. I've got product & equipment to carry this out and having my son do the work. He'll clay towel it and assess. Polish if need be, then Cerakote. I took notes & will have him watch this video. Fingers crossed 😉👍🏻

[@frankschopp8748]

looks awesome thanks for all the info. Love your stuff. Would you put a wax ontop of all that if so what would you use or that is good enough because it would sit out side in the harsh conditions till it is looked at again.

[@deemon9978]

Great vid! Exactly what I needed to see before attacking my crappy paint car.. Hopefully it's enough to just use compound/wax combo to get my black car swirls out after all the other wash/decon steps.. Thx Josh! You've "enlightened' me lots, with these great vids you produce..

[@imjoshv]

Awesome thank you!!!

[@elayned6147]

I take good care of my paint and wash often and detail afterwards. I recently took a clay bar to the paint with a detail spray (Maguires) it’s quite smooth and shiny. What do you suggest for my next step, or product to apply? Thanks, enjoyed the video. Very informative 👍

[@dini1046]

Have you seen the new Feynlab DA? I got it a few weeks ago and its really nice. Its called the Feynmach. That came out nice. Theres a lot of fall out there, crazy

[@viperrcr]

Would love to see your thoughts or a review of the synthetic fine grade clay towel from DIY Detail compared to the Rag Company one.

[@TheRealRobM]

Josh is it okay to use a Rigid 5" 18v orbital palm sander with the proper polishing pads for this sort of task?

[@derekbelton5932]

I love m210,have many finishing polishes but keep reaching for m210 just works not fussy works on even the most finicky clear

[@billnardo1554]

Great video. How much would a detail like this cost?

[@johnniejohnson8026]

I would love for you to get a hold of my 2006 Subaru Impreza I hate the color (dark blue) but anyway another great video

[@Siniko-1R]

Great video was wondering since I also live in SD how can I hire u to service my car?

[@thesamsquatch5224]

I like seeing your process! The end result is awesome! An iron remover is great just smells, some of them you can combine with the rag company or diy clay towel. But a fallout remover is different from an iron remover so be mindful of that The claying phase can be tricky, quick detailers normally have some form of protection. If you're looking to coat may want a rinseless wash, but polishing would remove the protection from the qd

[@imjoshv]

thats a good point, I always use a quick detailer with no additives for protection but its a good ideas to clarify that!

[@randybecker7339]

Great video, great work, and great education! Thank you!

[@imjoshv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ECXTD]

You mentioned when you do a ceramic coat you use a ceramic primer polish. Would it work if you used a non primer compound for cutting then use the primer polish to finish before coating?

[@MrJpen82]

Thank you for all the hard work you do Josh! You're #1🖕

[@Legendary62548]

Yeah he’s the best🖕

[@billbuss7542]

Would you ever use something like TW One and Done on a car in this condition?

[@tylerjohnson3164]

Hey Josh! What wax do you use?

[@johnweaver8596]

Hi Josh, really appreciate your videos, I've been learning a lot between you and Pan's channels. I followed your advice and got Maxshine 15 pro and Mcguire 110/210 compound/polishes, which pads would you suggest I use as a beginner with these, tia

[@imjoshv]

These would be a great way to start: amzn.to/3Pja1ao You can get pretty deep into all the different pads, but these are what i use most of the time. blue is cutting, yellow is polishing, and white is finishing. If im doing a one step enhancement i usually just use the yellow

[@chuckisbusy]

Which brand is the red foam pad used here for waxing?

[@bluegrasskid4835]

Is there any benefit to using a high ph/alkaline wash in a foam cannon versus a regular ph neutral wash in a foam cannon and just adding an ounce or two of APC? Use of the APC negates the need to have two different washes.

[@mikaeletaggart3517]

For a person on a budget, what do you recommend for a foam cannon? I clean my own cars once a week. I know you like the MJJC series. Can you recomend a less pricey one? Mahalo

[@dtna]

What is the difference between M205 and M210? Because the M210 polish is a little "finer", would it "finish" a little better with more clarity on soft paint? Thnx.

[@Manihsi]

Can i have link for compound 110& polishing 210 link ? Thank you

[@elreyperez3116]

But can you have a more faded paint back or is it really need a good paint job cus i have a really faded Altima hood that there just gray and white nd not the charcoal color the rest if the car is

[@kimnach]

Josh, not sure whether or not I or anyone else ever asked this: can the iron remover be used on a car with decals. I have an 88 IROC that has door and line decals. Should I avoid spraying iron remover on those? I've had the car for 35 years and had it repainted about 11 years ago.

[@robertjolliffe2534]

What do you do with faded wiper arms?

[@Auto-Bots.Custom.Detailing]

What pressure washer are you using in this video? I’m trying to learn paint correction.. your videos have been super helpful! I need to pick up some of those choch chemi products.. I still don’t have anything in their line

[@The1Music2MyEars]

Don't bother with Koch, It's over priced. His earlier videos contained multiple product comparisons and Meguiars Gold Class is still the best value car wash soap that you can use in a foam cannon or even as clay lube. ONR should be in your arsenal too as it's a window cleaner, clay lube, or pretreatment (but not aggressive). Griots Foaming Surface Wash is the best prewash if you don't want to strip already applied wax. Wheel Cleaner: Adams Wheel and Tire. P&S was heavily recommended 1-2 years ago but it is a lot weaker than Adams but it has rust inhibitors in it. If you want to strip wax so you can start pure clean to paint correct, any strip wash will do as long as it's cheaper than Koch. Koch isn't really that special.

[@notarypublic2426]

You probably get asked the same questions over and over, but just once more. What type of pressure washer do you use? and do you use the clients water and or electricity?

[@skgwiz]

i needed this video tysm

[@rommynine]

Rupes and Festool the best polishers imho

[@user-cr1pt2te1y]

About how long would you estimate a full detail like this to take on an average car? And if necessary, how would or could you split it over a couple of days? Great video!

[@imjoshv]

For the exterior wash, decon, and polish it took me about 2 hours.

[@jessicaho19]

Hi Josh, I finally got my car detailing/pressure washer setup complete. But one last thing I wanted to know before I use it is, are you using the 40 degree tip to rinse the vehicle? I bought a set but is it safe to use the 25 degree or even 15 degree tip for the car? Thanks in advance!

[@imjoshv]

Hi yea I typically use a 40 but you can use whatever works for you. If your using a 15 it will be slightly more powerful at say 1’ distance vs the 40 just because of the more direct angle but it anything you can just add a little more distance from the car and you’ll be fine

[@jessicaho19]

@@imjoshvThanks so much for the reply! The set comes with the 40 as well so I will definitely be using that. Cheers

[@brianbeltran7503]

Hey Josh i detailed for a year back in the day never wanted to polish so barely getting into it since its not so intimidating as it used to be but i had a question about the pads why didn’t you spray some sort of conditioner to the pad isn’t that always needed for less heat/friction?

[@imjoshv]

You can, I usually just prime my pad with polish. I load the pad up a bit more on the first application and make sure it’s got good coverage

[@goldenarithmetic1850]

Is there an iron decon that doesn’t smell so bad?

[@billbuss7542]

Aren’t there some much better compounds and polishes than these old Meguiars formulas?

[@donandveronica]

Neighbors say my 2016 white Venza looks new. 😉 The things I've learned from you Josh. Thank you.

[@imjoshv]

That’s awesome!

[@juniorruiz9480]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏✨✨✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@EdA-bz3bu]

And that’s is why you pay someone good money to do this.

[@harrylumsdon6773]

Tons of plastic trim stuff.

[@dtna]

Do you know why these customers finally came in to have their car detailed? It appears as though after you work on and correct the paint on their car, they will come back in a year or two and expect you to perform your magic again. Huum...

[@euphemiaknw7696]

He says in the beginning that it's his friend's car. Maybe he is just doing it as example.

[@pelebella6147]

Toyota clear coat & paint work both suck! The clear coat peels easily, and when you take it to the dealership under warranty, they'll fight you on it, they will tell you that it only affects certain white and silver cars, but I've already gone through two different toyota models and had the same problem. I will never again buy a toyota

[@markymark903]

Buy a car and never wax it ? 😮‍💨
