People don’t realize that he is giving away all his knowledge. Basically if you going to a lesson of detailing you have to pay for what this guy is giving you for free, so thank you Scott.

[@PerfectDawn]

You gave the answer in the first 10 seconds and people still have the audacity to complain

[@perjian1697]

Scott, you've got the best detailing videos online!! Better than the big brands we use are putting out for sure!! I've been a car nut for about 20 years owning over 100 cars but I've just recently got into the professional level of detailing. The past 4 months I've probably watched over 100 hours of videos by professionals and brands. Your demos and explanations, while sometimes a bit long winded, are absolutely the most helpful I've found. Thanks and keep it up please! From Los Angeles.

[@compamac]

I must say, I've been getting into mobile detailing, and your videos have given me a lot of training that I could not find anywhere else online. I really appreciate you giving your honest tips and opinions on products and methods of detailing!

[@Ryaa680]

My dad never taught me how to do this. Anytime I picked up a tool or wanted to tinker with my own car I’d be told I was going to ruin something. Now that I’m on my own, I have the freedom to do whatever I want. I learned a lot of things from this video. Thank you. Trying to search harbor freight but can’t find their store-branded tool you recommend. Granted it’s 2020 now. I’ll check out your other videos to see if you talk about proper DA sanders to choose for detailing purposes. :)

[@joeh14]

Thanks for all videos and tips and instruction. Detailed my first car, my own 2017 Honda using products and procedures you use. Super Clean to wash the car tires and wheels. Chemical Guys original clay bar, Meguairs fast finish liquid wax with a Porta Cable DA, diluted Super Clean for the interior, diluted VRP on the dash and interior trim and door panels, and full strength VRP on the tires, next time I’ll cut it a little to get a matte finish. Citrol on the front chrome and bumper and on all glass to get rid of bugs. Lake Country 5.5 foam pads. I just used a white pad. Since it was my first time I didn’t want to use a cutting wax until I get the hang of it and more confidence in what I’m doing. Playing it safe for now. Tomorrow I’ll detail my 2016 Ford PU. Thanks again Chemical Guys Glass Works for all windows inside and out. Everything worked great 👍🏼 Thanks again

[@dwightms7365]

Scott, I was going to have a pro do our cars, but you've inspired me to do them myself. I wish all of my teachers throughout my life were as good as you.

[@joe1071]

Everyone complaining about talking too much in this video is missing the point. He's teaching about his process, insights, and judgement as a professional detailer and his audience is other detailers and enthusiasts

I just discovered your channel and am bingewatching, lol. I like your no nonsense, no BS approach. If we lived in the same area I'd hire you to do my car. Not necessarily because it needs it or I'm too lazy to do it myself, but to watch you in action and learn. There's no way I could ever get all your experience by myself since I'm a weekend warrior and only have two cars in my "fleet" to play with. But I do love to see rough paint turn great before my eyes, even if I tend to "overthink" stuff and get confused by watching the multitude of conflicting how-to videos on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@semiephemeral9]

yep. bingewatching here too!

The only thing i don't like about all the Wax Machines on the market is they go in a circular motion, with the hand you can go side to side motion ! do you feel this way also ? Never liked going in a circular motion even when hand waxing.

[@number1pappy]

I'm a retired (so tired) lol!!...anyways I just wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite channels on detailing!...as an ex pro I find you one of the most "real" pro detailers out there in you tube land!..use show genuine ways of cleaning and real short cuts if you will. I have found most detailing channels out there are only pushing product and it's obvious!...your the real deal and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!...I wish there was someone like you back when I started as I had to learn by doing....

[@chicago1680]

Just ran into your channel loving how you use common stuff you can buy off the shelf at the store and not pushing high dollar stuff if you just want a decent shine and remove some swirls in one of your other videos. You channel is very informative and love how you get to the point. Thanks again!!!

All your videos are very very good and full of useful information. I bet you are making people make loads of money Scott. There is not 1 video of yours that I do not like. Im a very beginner detailer but I am following all your advice and will even buy the Mezerna 3 in 1 and HD speed. You teach me a lot and thanks for that.

[@saitsaatcigil9830]

God help you, you taught me a lot. There are many courses in the market, but they do not explain in detail like you. They take the money that's all, thanks

[@vikingwind25]

You have a good understanding of your customers and the marketing skill needed to make your business work. You are seasoned detailer. Thanks for the video!

[@sahhull]

For me it depends on the customer. I have one regular, she insists that I hand wash and hand wax her car... Hose pipe no jetwash, hand wax no machine polishing. Its a noise thing, coz when I detail the other cars in the household theres no such stipulation but she will leave as I arrive. She's the one paying me and shes happy with the result.

[@jpmavichana]

I do both. Machine - large panels Hand - tight spaces I drive a Honda Odyssey. A lot of large, flat panels.

[@MaxiiBoii23]

Same, I'll try what you do when my polisher comes. Thanks.

[@TheBishop12]

John Perez great tip. I'll add: machine for those waxes that do not have high lubricity (word?) or have a harder time buffing off (perhaps those carnauba ones as opposed to synthetic)

Never thought of using HD speed as a quick wax application, thought is was for correcting only! Great video!

[@davncingilbert6662]

You might "cut" a little of the "build-up", and just get to the point of the video. Over 5 minutes before you got to the "thing you do"? Stories about your customers, etc, is the quickest way to get people to tune out. There's one minute of good info in this vid.

I've done my own since 72... I've had detailer come to me wanting to learn what I do to have my cars look deep and 3 D dimensional appearance... its spending full day every 2 months detailing paint by hand with my personal cleaners, compounds, waxes, polishers and sealers made for me by a mom n pop shop.. have never used anything else.. my 68 Bullet looks as good as it did when pops bought me it.

[@pwashington99]

Looked at the Harbor Freight DA orbital buffer. Gives a 90 day warranty, Porter Cable 3 years. I went Porter Cable.

[@harryazzole7814]

So not paint correction, just advanced band-aiding that simulates paint correction? So you would use this for a car where they just want wash and wax without a full detail in hopes of reeling them in to bite for the full paint correction?

[@tonykilbourn7812]

Your videos are inspiringly educational! Awesome Thank you

useles if you're using dual action polishing paste or just finishing paste. Wax will do not finish your surface, wax is there to protect your surface from dirt, water milky spots etc

Maybe great and easy to use a machine , but slowly burning through the clear coat after yrs of use is a concern just to have no swirls ? It’s a pain , but I’ll stick to hand waxing . Your video on leveling clear coat help make my decision

Once you're experienced using a buffer, there are things that can't be done by hand, so using a machine is better.

[@karmasure3756]

Why did you hide the microfiber cloth, After applying the wax with the polisher the yellow colour microfiber cloth changed to red. Thats a lot of paint removed for minor scratches.

[@dwdw4499]

You're Awesome!!! Love to listen to your tips and in-depth about all vehicles. Excellent!! like to know what kind of door guards, you know, people that just don't give a... when they open their door on your vehicle!? I don't ever! not, care about another vehicle when opening my door. Need something that Looks sharp yet guards my vehicle. You have to know you sound like Howard Stern's brother love it!!

[@alexisocampo3408]

So what is the basic process a beginner should use for paint correction? Wash the vehicle, remove any sealant/wax, polish, add new sealant/wax? Or how does it go?

[@DavidEVogel]

I have found a DA machine just as time consuming as hand. The DA machine is fast on flat surfaces despite the fact that you are changing out dirty pads. Then you must hand wax areas missed by the machine.

[@beardedg500]

Your videos really helps. Im a beginner on this the best polisher i found over the counter is nu polish i just put it on my cars thanx

[@plateschaser45]

What is the difference between waxing and polishing? I thought polishing was to correct swirl marks and then waxing to protect the paint. Am I right?

[@constantdarkfog49]

Scott, guess by this video your using a power tool to apply product because it does a faster job, I like feeling a part of my DYI detailing job , so I choose doing it by hand. I'm not doing it as a business. Good video for those who enjoy using power tools. I guess the machine application wins, hands down, LOL

[@bigdogbulldog9912]
