[@apexdetail85]

Share your favorite combination for scratches and swirls.

[@richsmith3120]

The standard, 3D One and the Urofiber 50/50!

[@Mdetailing]

LC orange with sonax PF or Koch F6

[@danmorrissette4814]

i sometimes go at the Big scratches with ACA500, depending on hardness , i could also combo 3D One , if thin paint i wetsand with 2500, polish with 3D0ne. i love lambwool pads and uro 50/50 ...

[@bigd9848]

Papa cut with the euro fiber or a orange pad. It all depends how much I have to work with and how deep. I like a lot of different combinations. I learned from the best 👊🏼Thanks Brain

[@waynewoodrick5055]

Used Papa cut the last 3 days on hammered vehicles. Used 50/50 pad, also med wool pad

[@Phoenixeod]

After getting a chance to sit in on FOUR of your Master Classes last week at the #SDC, I’m still in awe at how easily you move around the vehicle and get the results that you get!!! Glad you’re enjoying PapaCut! FAB Polish and Uro 50/50 is my sweet spot… and my barber would always say, “You can always cut more… you can’t cut less!” Thanks for the video, Sir!

[@KevinAClassA]

SDC was a good time this year, had the chance to meet new and more people.

[@Ricky_R]

Huge turnaround. I’ve never seen those pads before thanks for showing us 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@ShineYourLightDetailing]

Excellent demonstration, Brian! Great to see you at SDC and we’ll talk soon. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@apexdetail85]

It was a pleasure....hope to see you again soon!

[@ronayotte3571]

This video came just in time.. I have a black Audi A6 coming in on Thursday. Thank you, Brian!.

[@kimnewling5728]

Nice turn around. Great conversation about paint. Very enjoyable. Thanks Brian.

[@apexdetail85]

Cheers!

[@tomchinigo5014]

Thanks again for another great video where I always learn something new. I need to get my hands on some Papa Cut and give it a try. Also, I had never seen those pads before so I will check those out. My usual go to is Koch Chemie Micro Cut, if need be fine cut or even H9.01 if the surface is in bad shape. I like to team them up with a yellow Rupes foam pad or a yellow Rupes wool pad. The last couple of cars were in good shape so my go to was Uno Advanced and a Rupes yellow pad, one time around the car and call it a day. Thanks again Brian !!

[@ThisOldDetailingDude]

Another incredible educational video! Papa cut is my favorite go to. I see the shop manager right next to you watching closely. I was a true pleasure meeting you at SDC. I apologize for not spending more time with you. But I was exhausted after all night flight. Hope to see you soon.

Great choices.obviously we are protecting with BC PRODUCT LINE 😆😆

Love these tutorials! Your experience and willingness to share is much appreciated! 👊

[@MyGuyKirby]

Agree about the owner changing their ways of maintenance, so stay on the lighter side of correction

[@KevinAClassA]

Thank you Brian, great content as always. Stay safe brother.

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks, you too!

[@luketuttle1096]

Great info as always

[@fccquoter19]

Great Video. What's your go to pad/polish combination for highest one-step cut? I've tried all kinds of combinations and still searching. Just did a Tundra and Uro 50/50 + 3D One didn't touch it....

[@MNpicker]

Awesome stuff Brian!! I know I say that a lot.. but it's true.. This is good shit man🤘🏻😎

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

That’s the most minor swirling I ever saw! It’s far more hazy than swirled. Still sucks workin with paint thinner than cellophane! Great work!

[@apexdetail85]

The GoPro sucks at focusing so you can see everything. ☹

[@Chris-wb7ni]

3D one and depending on the color xtreme solutions polish to bring out that shine.

[@davestewart9146]

I really like these kind of videos, thanks Brian 👍😁

[@lewisreinhold6398]

Absolutely excellent video Brian! I am very much into clear coat preservation . Unfortunately, some customers don’t share my concern

[@Hutch400]

Thanks Brian!

[@J1Z06]

I've learned so much from You and this awesome channel, Brian. Thank You for always sharing Your knowledge with us. Another great video. It's time to offer a bottle of "Papa Cut".

Always enjoy your videos Brian. Thanks. I need to pick up a paint depth meter for personal vehicles including Mazda cx 30, Lexus rx 350 and Porsche 993, '95, single stage. Can you recommend one that is reasonably priced? Thanks!

[@apexdetail85]

Nicety...can be found on Amazon, I believe.

[@sharadsookun4983]

Hi Can you do a review on surface 60 white cutting pad, i use it and it cuts like a wool with no holograms when used in a DA

[@StevesAutoNtrucks]

Do you have a video on ceram x and Rip cut from CSI thanks

[@apexdetail85]

It dusted like crazy for me....not for me, but that is just subjective.

[@charliekennedy4188]

I used h9.02 and flex purple pads. I had Carpro reflect and gloss pads just in case but the Koch chemie left the paint glossy and it did nothing when adding the reflect in!

[@danmorrissette4814]

so hard to show paint defects when the metalic plays funny with the camera lol!

[@norcalspitshine6406]

Nice

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

Brian I’m looking to pick up lake country hydro tech polishing pads do you have knowledge on these? They’re on sale and a great deal at the moment

[@apexdetail85]

Dont hesitate LC is decent.

[@larrysing]

I still don’t know how you get those triple digit GUs. I’ve got the same glossmeter & my car, with the best products I can throw at it, has never been above 95.6

[@kennethschei6957]

Ad quality ceramic coating and you get in the 100👍😊

[@larrysing]

@@kennethschei6957 Nice tip, but really, many ceramic coatings don’t actually increase gloss. Most gloss comes before from prep. A few do like Gyeon Pure, a few from Artdeshine. I’ve used several coatings on my car. The best looking combo was Meguiar’s Hybrid Paint Coating topped with Gyeon CanCoat.

[@apexdetail85]

Every surface is different. I do not get triple digits every time.

[@slimsampy4764]

Why didn’t you use your favorite euro fiber pads.

[@bjimsondetailing]

Good job sir how do I know if a scratch is not removable

[@apexdetail85]

If through the clean...it will catch a finger nail.

[@Mdetailing]

How do we know if is no less clear coat, but less primer or/and less color paint due to the fact that 1. Newer car have metal alloys that needs less primer and paint according to manufacturers 2. Those ptg cannot identify the separate layer's. Thanks

[@dustin3700]

Only way to know is to remove the clear and measure. I've tested sun baked vehicles with peeling clear and on a recent 06 scion xa I had readings from .09-1.8 and with clear it was 2.1-3.7.

[@apexdetail85]

As mentioned ....measure what you are removing. Only a Defelsko (expensive) meter can measure layers.

[@Mdetailing]

@@apexdetail85 thanks sir, keep up The great content ,i admire you

[@whitegoodman7465]

Not sure why you would go from a very light white foam finishing pad all the way to microfiber, could have tried out medium cut foam then wool, if that microfiber isnt a one step pad then there is def haze left over.

[@Amor1990]

Where is the Hercules you said would be more videos of?

In the making.

@Apex Detail any product that not require polisher to apply? Because i dont know how to use the polisher 😅 able scare to use also

[@leonardcrisci7254]

What’s good to use on single stage?

[@kennethschei6957]

3D one with uro 50/ 50 pad 😊👍

[@leonardcrisci7254]

@@kennethschei6957 I was told 3-D speed would be a little better but I guess it’s the same shit or very similar

[@kennethschei6957]

3d speed is a medium to fine polish with synthetic paint sealant blended with Montan Wax. 3d one is a hybrid polish where you can decide from the roughness of the pad etc etc, are you looking for a one step with protection go get 3d speed one of the best yes 😊👍

[@kennethschei6957]

Have you try 3D AAT Correction Glaze ?

[@leonardcrisci7254]

@@kennethschei6957 I’m just looking to shine it up a bit. I plan on having the car painted in the next few years but until then I want it to a little better. And what’s the least aggressive procedure it’s a single stage and whatever pad I use with my DA the paint color transfers onto the pad
