This series of videos have been a privilege to watch. It must have been fantastic to work on your car and learn with Kelly.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Definitely, and thank you 👍

Thanks great video and very informative especially about the glass cleaning and getting rid of the smears. Keep them coming

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thanks 👍

Not only is Kelly the best detailer ever, he is the best teacher. Wish he would have classes in the US

[@TheDetailingSpace]

He's there this week at MTE

Really enjoying this series. Kelly is such a cool guy. Great job!

Glad you're enjoying them 👍

Great vid, everything broken down simply and effectively. Thanks :)

Glad you enjoyed

Another really enjoyable video, I look forward to seeing the coatings applied next week.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thank you... Think next week's video is just talking about the coatings themselves... Think the application may be a separate video... Can't remember 🤣

[@jasonmjonesuk]

All that experience and tips for free - top job! :)

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Haha, thanks.... All free for you guys to watch over and over again 😉👍

Good video with nice collaboration. Now you know! I did tell you the difference between the Flex pxe 80 mini polisher and the Chinese counterpart. The difference is so vast. A world of difference, as you well now know. I'm just a lay person who likes to keep my car clean. I'm not actually a tool person but the difference in quality is night and day . The Pxe while more expensive is silky smooth, robust and a joy to use. And without a shadow of doubt is inherently made better and designed to last. I also bought the Chinese rubbish but it snapped after 2 weeks. The spindle exploded. A huge £175 mistake.

[@sthildas4857]

DW 2012..That more aggressive strategy working at less than max capacity will give better results..flogging that least aggressive compound above it's max performance, I prefer less speed more contact time. Thx Kelly.

[@markmoore6264]

Awesome set of videos 👍

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thank you 👍

[@kuba7875]

I bought a pad washer a week ago, it's quite expensive but worth every penny

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Definitely.... The time it takes to clean the pads is amazing.... And they're practically dry afterwards

[@tripsingh3642]

The speed with the arm movement with the machine polisher is this correct way to do with a larger orbit

[@TheDetailingSpace]

A lot of factors come in to play. Pad and polish combo, speed of the machine, weight, and applied pressure etc... Also, it depends if your cutting or finishing etc

[@tripsingh3642]

@@TheDetailingSpace So the speed on the arm movement from the video is this correct or has it been speeded up

[@TheDetailingSpace]

It's correct

[@neilhibbert5201]

Great video fantastic content and information 6 star,s

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thanks 👍

[@philbloomer1]

Hi, great video. I'm curious, what polishes/compounds were used and what would be a suitable one step?

[@TheDetailingSpace]

I have no idea what he used.... Kelly's secret blend 🤣

[@sw157]

Brilliant videos guys 👍 Does anyone know which equipment trolley Kelly is using here? I've been struggling to find something so specific with the bottle holders etc

[@TheDetailingSpace]

It's a Poka Premium trolley, available from Clean & Shiny

[@patrickvennard838]

Great video it looks like you liked the Flex cordless range? I have three out of the four flex cordless machines and will never go back to a corded machine .

[@TheDetailingSpace]

👍

[@TheDetailingSpace]

How do you find the battery life?

[@patrickvennard838]

@@TheDetailingSpace I have plenty of batteries as I have lots of other Flex tools I find 35mins is about right for a 5ah battery and they charge in around that time so two is easily enough.

[@customcarcare5919]

Are you using Meguiar's D300 on the microfiber pads?

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Honestly, no idea.... Was told it's Kelly's secret blend.... I'd guess it contains some of that 🤣

[@matthewgibb2640]

Great video. There's alot of counter intuitive stuff involved in paint correction as there is in washing cars. The zero bucket method of washing cars or one bucket washing with alot of mitts, most people still use the two bucket method but it's actually less safe and less efficient as it's self contaminating. Don't be afraid of wool, microfibre or heck even rayon or a surbuf and even a rotary. what liquid you use, the working area size, how clean you keep the pad and the machine speed massively determines how aggressive you are. Even a Jewelling polish with a deburred wool can be used and the finish is superb despite far less cut, it keeps the wool fibres moist so they keep working not dry and clumped. In the near future there will be far less foam pads needed. either one or two maximum for anything you want to do. Not five six or seven different foams, that complicates it too much.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

👍

[@weave4181]

What was the compound Kelly uses to cut in there, and curious are those Kirkland microfibers?

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Not sure on the compound. I'm not 100% on the cloths, as never saw the packaging they came out of.

[@marcodeci3951]

Wish Kelly would share with us what compound/s are used with the LC pads

[@TheDetailingSpace]

He wouldn't even tell me... Think it's a mix of a couple of products, but I have no idea.

[@michaelchong6222]

This is probably Megs D300 compound which is a SMAT polish 👍

[@marcodeci3951]

@@TheDetailingSpace its a bit of a strange one and never a branded bottle in sight everythings in a top secret clear bottle

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Haha... He did say he mixes a couple together. Assume he buys big bottles and decants into smaller ones for easier handling and a time when he had 7-8 staff working for him

[@seabrew1]

I watched one video he was using oberk.

[@RGS6791]

Hello how are you? Excellent youtube channel great videos as always. Hoping you can help me. Just saw this video. But can you explain me if don’t mind. I didn’t understand correctly, you used a microfiber pad with 15mm da orbit polisher and a compound. But can you please tell me because I dont know if I hear correctly you used it at speed 2 in the polisher, low arm speed, little pressure?? Or what was the correct way you used it please?? And also you did 3 or 4 passes?? Thanks in advance happy holidays

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Yes, Kelly had it down to speed to, due to the nature of MF pads. Arm speeds was average, maybe low, and again for pressure, fairly average. If I remember correctly, he did about 4 passes in a set. But, the main focus is, there is no "one size fitz all"... So what worked on this car may easily burn another car, or then again, may have zero effect on something with rock hard paint. If in doubt, so with slow speeds and light pressure, you can work up from there.

[@RGS6791]
