How to remove swirls and scratches in hard car paint - 3D 510 Compound

[@jdisdetermined]

510 is friggin amazing. It cuts a little faster than 500 with a quicker cycle time and better wipe off, and it finishes down unbelievably well. Working on single stage black, nothing would touch it and I was out of 500, couldn’t get more for over a week but I found some 510 with overnight shipping. It was a night and day difference from the handful of compounds I had on hand. Then I went straight from wool to a simple foam cutting on a rotary, stuck with 510 and literally jeweled the paint. No DA, no soft polishing pad. Zero haze, zero holograms.. under a Scangrip.. on jet black. Perfect. Couldn’t believe it.

3D is my favorite car care company, and I've watched Mike for years, so when I heard he'd be joining 3D, I was hyped. Watching him put the compound on the pad the way he did I was like "yup, he's still Mike". Looks like I got a lot of videos to catch up on.

FINALLY a video about the ACA 510 🤘💯 Cheers Mike!! 🤜🤛

[@3DCarCare]

Glad you liked it - What else have you been waiting to see more about, let us know - Yancy

[@MrMoe-bn3xb]

@Mike Phillips cheers Mike! I really like the power of the ACA500 with the rotary and wool. The cut is insane but if I take it hard on it it can dust heavy 😇 One question... If you compare the 510 mit the Meg. M100... What would be your choice in terms of removing really heavy defects (like 10years of tunnel wash etc.)?

I might have to add this to the arsenal! I giggled when Mike said "100 percent defect removal" love it!! 😎😬 Thanks for sharing!

[@3DCarCare]

Glad you enjoyed it - you know Mike and his one liners lol! - Yancy

Hard paint defect removal with an 8mm and polishing pad!!!! Pretty amazing compound!

[@3DCarCare]

Yes it is hence the reason we wanted to show you all the power that it has. - Yancy

[@joeb9763]

Looks awesome to add to the compound lineup

[@3DCarCare]

Really good stuff and works wonders - Yancy

[@KennethTangCF]

Wow I just learned that Mike left Autogeek and to 3D and found his post on why he left. I work for a local car care brand in Malaysia and I agree with many of his points. I’ve followed Mike since the Meguiarsonline days and even bought a physical signed copy of his book many years ago! So happy for you Mike, and looking forward to see more of your videos!

[@3DCarCare]

Thanks for tuning in and yep is with 3D now. Him and I both came over here last year and loving it. Thanks for tuning in - Yancy

[@KennethTangCF]

@@3DCarCare Awesome! Happy for you both and keep making great work Yancy!

I use this follwed by the 520. Flawless

[@moisesperez3693]

I just bought the 510 a couple of days ago. I like the 501 and 502

[@3DCarCare]

That is awesome! Let us know what yo think - Yancy

[@jaycrew3782]

What speed do you use for the 510?

[@jamalabdullah6438]

I see Mike Philips and i hit that thumbs up 👍

Thanks for that! - Yancy

[@afonsofreitas3595]

I find it to lack a little bit of lubrication compared to some others like carpro uktracut and kosh chemie H9o2

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

Those swirls are pretty light, but I’ll give it to you guys since you only used a polishing pad and an 8mm throw machine. I want to see it with the twisted wool on a rotary, something with heavy oxidation, deeper scratches, heavy water spot etching , something borderline I need to pull out the 1500 grit to level it before my compounding step, put it to the test.

[@3DCarCare]

Thanks for watching. Yes swirls were light if it was in worse condition I am sure Mike would have used the Flex 340. Will create a video like you stated once we get a car in here in that condition. - Yancy

[@liljay5653]

Hey could you put poxy strait after that with a finishing pad or would it be best to go over that with a polish first?

[@thedetailingchannel2362]

I bought a bottle off this to do my partners car, looking forward to seen some results

[@3DCarCare]

Hope you like it! Lets us know what you think of it - Yancy

[@kubenderanpillay8745]

The Detailing Guy South Africa Can 3D 510 or 520 be used on ppf . And can the the 3D one also work on PPF

[@AMP8424]

Mike, i like how you dont do the traditional 3-4 dots, you just load it up and then run the polisher in small circles to prime it.

[@AMP8424]

@Mike Phillips Good to know! I like to pay attention to the people like you, the KxK Dynamics boys, Kevin Brown etc who have been in the industry so long and know their subject back to front, and have alternative methods of doing things. 👍🏻

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Would you say this compound is your most aggressive to date? Stronger than my ACA 500?

[@3DCarCare]

Spoke with Mike and he says yes - Yancy

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

@@3DCarCare Thank you

[@dimmacommunication]

I tought the black mercedes was soft... scratches super easy

[@jonathan6009]

Dear Mike and Yancy, Why is that 510 not available in Indonesia?

[@3DCarCare]

Will have to ask for you? Don't know why - Yancy

[@henryhong8863]

What do use after using 3D 510 to protect?

[@3DCarCare]

You can use 3D 520 to polish out if using a 2 step process - 3dproducts.com/collections/compounds-polishes/products/3d-aca-finishing-polish-520. Then to seal the paint you can use any of our waxes, sealants or coatings. 3dproducts.com/collections/coatings-wax-sealants

[@mingoreyes1]

Could I use this in the sun, I'm mobile detailer most my paint correction is outside? I have the 3d one does good, but as for deep swirl marks?

[@3DCarCare]

Yes you can! Wouldn't do the entire then wipe off, but work section by section and you will be fine. - Yancy

[@mingoreyes1]

@@3DCarCare thank you, buy it now. I love your products.

[@Samstireservice]

What pad

[@josephgarrel5728]

Mercedes uses ceramic clear. That’s why the paint is hard

[@3DCarCare]

Yeppers! Thanks for watching - Yancy

[@johnmelling9950]

Not all Marcs are ceramic clear. It was an optional extra on certain models and im pretty certain the car in the video is not ceramic clear. No way would a polishing pad on a free spinning DA give those results on ceramic clear. It was standard on the S Class and if youve ever tried polishing one you'll know that even 510 on wool and rotary struggles to remove the heavier defects. I dont know of any compound that actually makes easy work of ceramic clear. Ive just done a Merc S Class with 250K miles and seriously heavy swirled paint and even after 510 and wool pad, it only removed around 75% of the defects. Some VW's also had the option of ceramic clear.

🇹🇲👍👍👍

[@Red_dot_randy]

8 passes?! Ain’t nobody got time for that! Bust out the rotary

[@harveymiller4DD]

He went fast, not slow. 2 dots 510 mixed with 4 dots of 520 is an awesome 1 step combo

[@3DCarCare]

Yes it would have been faster to use a rotary but the purpose of this video was to show you the power of the 510 compound. 8mm DA with a polishing pad on hard paint not many compounds can do that out there. Plus using a rotary you will still have to come back to remove your holograms... so is the rotary really faster in the long run? - Yancy

[@Red_dot_randy]

@@harveymiller4DD I’m starting to think you did NOT go to Harvard! Rotary is king! The DA polisher is a scam that company’s capitalize on.

[@Red_dot_randy]

@@3DCarCare yes rotary is faster, ya need a rupes medium cutting pad (wool) and 3d-one, one step done.

[@brianveltri3107]

Still looked bad after

[@jaycrew3782]

That was the glitter in the paint job that you were seeing. I had a car like that once.

Why do professional videos always have to have stupid fucking music in a video when you’re trying to learn something
