Hey Scott. You taught me more in all videos than my boss in my two years detailing. You are my mentor. Have a good one 👍🏼

[@joeys_detailing]

I’ve been in the game for almost 9 years and I can’t believe I never even thought of this. Thanks Scott, I’ll definitely be using this on my next job.

[@davestewart9146]

That is a great idea, I’m 55 years old and learning for myself and my own cars, thank you sir 👍😁

[@wrbergner]

Hi Scott. You hit this one out of the ball field. What a simple idea encompassing an everyday issue. As usual, you brought it down to a simple fix which virtually everyone could understand! Thanks!!!

[@davidruggles996]

Love it Scott. Thanks helping guide us newbies in this crazy industry.

[@nakedbandit]

Top notch Scott. Back to basics for the slow folks in the class. I'm fairly new to paint correction and just looking to make my car, and perhaps a few more in my family look like they have been cared for. Love your how-to's and trade types. Thanks

[@JoseCalderon_1]

Great video as always Scott! Thank you for all your tips!

[@DiegoRodriguez-wj2nb]

[@MrTurnone]

Another excellent video, thanks Scott! I used what you have taught on my Black H-D Heritage and it is stunning. I had a guy walk up to me at the gas station last weekend and ask WTF do you use on your paint dude it looks like black liquid LOL!

[@Alan-zz3st]

what do you use?

[@TheMikehotel]

Keep up the great work Scott! Love your content.

[@adamcoe]

Great method Scott, I'm just getting into doing my own paint correction and I have a "test car" so to speak (my mother's minivan that's always been tube washed) so this will definitely help me figure out which pad to use. Appreciate all your time and info!

Thank you for what you do!

[@mytube1320]

[@Angel_Ripoff]

Thanks for the info, Scott, I'll be trying this next time I break out the buffing pads

[@hardmtnbiker]

[@angelmrodriguez6203]

[@ST-ye2rn]

Hey Scott. Love the channel! Thanks for all of your great advice. I have just purchased a 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat Special Edition. Do you have any recommendations for removing the factory decals? There is a huge one on the hood and also down the sides.

[@gregfalk6227]

Great info. Thank you!

[@Gnetbird]

Hope Scott comes back soon. I hope the best for him and his business 👍👍

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

Great video thanks again

[@tommyneil303]

[@Millennialgoat]

I am absolutely disgusted with how much sense this makes. KEEP IT UP!

[@Gnetbird]

We have not heard from you in a while.. We hope you are doing well, being very successful in your business and that you had a very blessed holiday season. 👍👍

[@stevedawson5360]

Thanks for this video . Very helpful! I am getting a 2023 Corvette in about a month and wanted to do a 1 step correction. I have the Porter Cable da, and was thinking of using Koch Chemie micro cut. Is that the right way to go?

[@zachv.7283]

Awesome video. I'm glad I haven't finished my car. I need to assess my equipment before I proceed. Thanks Scott

[@robertghantous2102]

First off, I just want to say thanks you Scott. you’ve been a huge help to me going from an enthusiast to a part time detailer and I’m asking for a little more help =). So, the process you use to do a test spot, can you use the same process to do multi-stage/ two step paint correction as well or do you use a different method/ technique when tackling that service?

[@marvinisrael1671]

Really helpful video. Would an ordinary small powerful LED flashlight be adequate for examining the result or does one need one of those special detailing lights?

[@samueladams584]

Trying to get motivated to do my first paint enhancement

[@Yama83]

This video has been so helpful honestly... thank you so much really helped me understand more things! I have the same products so im guessing 1 step you use the F6 and 2 steps use the H9 THEN the M3 what about after M3 you add something or leave it be if the customer didnt ask for say a ceramic coating ?

[@thesundancekid1974]

Thank you Scott that was very informative honestly. I just got my first buffer but haven't used it yet. You helped clarify how to use the different pads. The different colors now that makes more sense which now I definitely have a better understanding previously. Now I have a better understanding what pad to use when. I was thinking I would just use the least aggressive black pad for the whole car. Which reminds me you should have probably two of the same color pads if you're going to do the whole car one pad won't be enough? probably the black one and avoid the other orange and yellow cuz I didn't want to risk damaging the paint job. The part that I'm not quite understanding is the light. Is a light required as part of the process? You said you wanted to be about 30 50% of effectiveness? Is the light the only way to judge the effectiveness of the pad? Or could it be done by just visualizing I suppose that takes more experience of removing present defects? I'm sure once I start using the buffer excetera I'll not as nervous about hurting the paint finish. And your videos AR getting me there. Have accumulated a lot of products which is good but actually have not had the opportunity to use them I got claybar and fluid. I just haven't allocated the time to dive in. The other part is I want to make sure I'm doing it right and that's possible before I start. I'm not take the risk of diving in and making an irreversible mistake or something. It's a time thing. I'm anticipating washing then clay then wax in one day. And it's going to take several hours I'm sure. The car is newer so the clay may not be necessary. The other challenges I have sun on my driveway all day long. I realize his situations you could do in the Sun but that's not the ideal situation. Ideally I'd be more comfortable with a overcast day. I do realize that if it's not extremely hot and you prepare everything to dance and work fast, AC could still be done in the sun to a degree. Washing and send ya clay I don't think so wax definitely not. I appreciate your informative videos. When you explained mentioned how you build trust with the customer which helps you stand out among your competition. I understand what you're saying and I appreciate that. A past life I was a professional wedding portrait photographer. He was always my intent of going above and beyond. Yes and that's how you get repeat business and customers trust you with repeat business. Thanks again for your on a straightforward explanation.

[@richardr5888]

Tried the Griots you recommended, worked great. I finished with Turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray. I've always been confused as to what I use after. Do I have to stay with that type of product for upkeep, or can I use a wax on top of it? Is there a benefit to layering? Thx

[@bradprather6749]

once again, very nice. will this technique work on paint with no clear coat?

[@LeoYarbrough]

Keep them coming...going to get your product soon

[@leonardonaranjo3363]

Hey scott, I hope all is well, thanks for the information. I wanted to know if you had any experience with 3D “one”compound & polish AIO? Is so, what do you think?

[@MM-sq5pf]

Great vids, very informative. How would you compound/wax/ polish a vehicle with racing stripes? I heard you have to avoid them, but there has to be a technique. Thanks.

[@reagannjitor2975]

Great job

[@novacreep850]

Scott where are you? :(

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Vacation, he worked hard so now he have time for himself

[@lumpymash]

Please come back. We need you.

[@lucandria9090]

Hi Scott, I have been following you since recently purchased an Audi A4. I would like to know what would be the prep for a one step paint correction when the vehicle that I bought has been ceramic coated. Truly enjoying your channel and learning a lot

[@williedee]

Hope your doing good sir! Thank you for the wealth of information.

[@clydeespinosa6286]

Hi Thanks so much. I have a regular Griots machine and am searching for the right pad/compound for a large RV I am thinking 3D One with orange pad. Any thoughts are highly appreciated

[@jgurr469]

Hey Scott, are you familiar with clay bar treatment? And If so, would you recommend using it along with compound? Thank you in advance

[@Ian-ky6hm]

I live in Scotland, UK and this is my new favourite channel!!! Can I ask you a question? I am new to detailing and bought my first DA polisher although I've not used it yet. Do you put 3 pea size amounts of product on the pad every time you start a new section after doing the 5 passes with the DA? Thank you.

[@Brad1517]

Where has Scott been?

[@alexisamtosta]

I learn a lot with you Scott. But I would still love and have some training in person with you. A month ago I did a detailing course in Poland and we used those same inspection lights. They are very good.

[@mikeyvii09]

Hey Scott, I’m working on a Black Audi right now and the paint looks great in the garage, even under my halogen work light. I used a DA polisher with an Orange Hex Pad with M105 and then finished it with a White Hex Pad with M205, it looks amazing. But once I bring it into the sunlight, I see a bunch of holograms, almost looks like towel drying marring? I’ve been using brand new 80/20 microfiber towels.. idk what could be the issue. Any thoughts?

[@TejasToolMan]

Boat buffing season just started for me, glad to see i'm not the only one putting in the hours =)

[@debo5-073]

scott.. in one word... Thanks

[@llamacebu216]

Scott, have you tried or tested out the product Bilt Hamber wash/products? Just wondering if it's the 'best' as they say

[@omarquinones7652]

Scott what should I use to clean and maintain a painted engine valve cover that has a clear coat?

[@JoeyAG92]

Just came across your channel and just like that I’m a fan! I have no prior paint correction experience but I am a detail oriented individual, and between your in depth how-to videos and positive attitude towards newbies picking up a da I’ve been seriously considering giving it a shot! I see lots of different tools and sizes and rpm ranges and so on, which is a bit confusing to said newbie. Is there any easy way of breaking down the pros and cons of each?

[@billbuss7542]

Scott, have you ever used the Earthquake xt for applying wax to a vehicle?

[@helmybd2]

Hi. What do you think about nano ceramic coating for paint protection. Do you recommend it? Also, the price of the coat varies too much between shops so what to look for in order to get the best quality for the correct price.

[@Mike-qo4kp]

You are a genius my friend.

[@t57f100]

hello scott i have been checking the videos you have and the one your mother told you to make i see you are really well at what you do, im a noobie here to polish and stuff could use some info on how to start on my 99 lincoln and i have some questions for you

[@TERRORGRAVE666]

Hello Scott, what are your experiences with Ford paint? Soft or hard? What would be your recommendation for polishing pads and polishing compound?I have a 2012 Ford Fiesta. Thanks in advance and greetings from Croatia.

[@davesherman3074]

Hey Scott- What was the name of the polish compound you were using on this video? I couldnt catch the name. Thanks I really enjoy your vids!

[@wesp3134]

Hi what would you recommend for repairing the clear coat from egg damage. I had a pigeon egg splatter on my hood. It really ate into the clear but mainly little dime to quarter size spots. Do you think wet sanding the spots only and then polish the whole area with a da. The spots are really rough like the clear is almost raised and feels like sandpaper.

[@j.r.thompson5950]

Will a ceramic coat resistant and repel brake fluid and keep it from destroying your paint?

[@kevinmeraz1566]

Can you make a video on top 10 car soaps for the 2 bucket method?

[@mmortada1978]

Thanks 😊

[@dthomas1231]

Scott have you used dirt buster from superior products and if so what are your thoughts I saw the video about the Rage cleaner which made me look into other products from Superior

[@Mrjozz011]

Hey Scott what’s your take on using a steamer to wash a car? You think this method is safe? Or will it do more damage? Would love to hear your take on this.

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

this trick can be used also to help us choose, polish, compound or AIO product for sertain scenario? lets say i have only orange pads availiable, but i have 2 AIO products..........or maybe 2 ,1 step products to choose and i dont have much experience.....of....can i do the same but instead that changing pads .....change products?

[@mercstryker]

I did a stop watch on ya and you went 8 to 10 seconds🤣 love your vids good info for us DIY stay at home personal car detailers.
