The Difference Between A Wax and Polish on Neglected Paint

What’s the best option for your car’s paint? Well, it depends on what you want.
In this video, I compare the difference between a wax, all-in-one polish, one-step polish, and a two-step polish.

Different results from four different types of methods
• The Difference Between...

[@DetailGroove]

Thoughts on the video?? Lemme know!

[@edruiz6364]

The difference to me is what the goal is. If it is to remove scratches or other defects and you have decided to do a 2 step then you have to decide because the reality is, you're removing clearcoat and the time you have to invest doing it. If you decide on a one step, it's a little faster but you really have to put some protection on top of the clearcoat afterwards, either a sealant or wax. With the AIO you are removing minor defects but there will be some defects left but you are not affecting the clearcoat as much and you are leaving either a wax or sealant behind to protect the paint.

[@OhhMedrano]

I can’t get my iK 1.5 multi pump sprayer to spray foamy like yours does. I’m also using the optimum no rinse you recommended but it only comes out like water. Any ideas?

[@DetailGroove]

The multi 1.5 does not foam. You have to buy the foam pump sprayer. They're two different ones (but they look similar). Also, I JUST started using the foam like last week. I've used the multi for the past 8 months

[@BRunkel07]

Great video Oscar! I agree...the BOSS creams smell super good! Personally, I love the AIO option - customers are always blown away with the depth of color it brings out in their paint and the shine and gloss. I offer one steps and 2 steps for a considerable higher price but have to gauge the customer to see if they’d even be interested in that.

[@epep649]

@@edruiz6364 Also have to ask the customer "will you be driving through the cool shell gas station car wash next week" lol

[@ronniehickingbotham4022]

Love it! Started detailing last month and your videos have helped me so so much! I'm in the UK, thought I needed everything but started with what I had and I'm getting some great results without a pressure washer, without a buffer or polisher

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

I been dying to see a video like this, people just do before and after which is cool but I prefer the tape side by side comparison. thank you!

[@brianmiller3349]

Your videos are so informative and helpful. I'm just an enthusiast (detailing wife's Honda and my RAM). Thank you for the great videos.

[@daves.3278]

Hell yeah we're almost at 100k!! One day you'll be at a million its gonna take 2 years or so. But I know eventually. Got this Oscar!!!

[@joerossi4231]

Great video man, i will say i used to own a 2007 nissan xterra black, and it was corrected once. Bad thing is the paint had a ton of orange peel to it on the entire body. Also the hood was awful , all those little specs your showing in the video i was never able to get out because most were pitting in the paint and or chips. The paint nissan uses isnt that great and or is soft like you said. Love how you showed the comparison , great job.

[@DetailGroove]

Yep, orange peel is in a lot of cars now. But glad you liked the video!

[@dustinkennedy8821]

Not sure if miss you say it or not. Is this after with just a wash or wash and clay bar?

[@ivanesparza9473]

Be bold! Love the shirt man!

[@laytonondrias1959]

one step looks the best for the amount of time it takes in my opinion. do you clay the car then polish or polish then clay?

[@xJMacD]

Layton Ondrias always wash and clay bar before doing any type of paint correction! You can potentially pick up surface contaminates and ruin paint if you don’t do what we/most detailers call “decon”

[@laytonondrias1959]

@@xJMacD thanks for the advice!

[@epep649]

@@xJMacD You'll always have some sort of contaminates regardless, especially when correcting outdoors. No such thing as decon free

Maybe save the cap you like to transfer to another bottle later? May fit other's product bottle?

[@3four4door59]

Would you use a polish or finish to do a one step without the holograms?

[@CSHayes]

Great video Oscar

[@King_drew]

Haha, it sounds like he said "grits" garage, throughout the video. Lol

[@aarons7267]

Awesome info

[@eliangiel6104]

How much should i charge for a interior detail, and a exterior detail with wax/sealant? as like a package?

[@Chris-eo1bp]

I charge mini detail at 70. The wax I'm throwing on isnt with a polishee either

[@marioalex2323]

Your pricing will most likely be different than his. Location, experience, professionalism, your time, etc. will play a role in pricing. See what others in your area are charging and go from there.

[@eliangiel6104]

Cras gomez i plan to use P&S bead maker after i clay the car

[@daves.3278]

My interiors start at 150$ outside full wash clay and wax is 100$ so for me 250$ starting

[@justinreneau1983]

@@eliangiel6104 rule of thumb, you better be ready to polish if you're going to clay. You will most likely get some kind of maring

[@ianjames5150]

Get it in the sunlight

[@Elpigto]

Oscar are you doing paint correction again? I emailed you a few months back and I know some assholes had stole your equipment.

[@crystalsabundance]

Thanks

[@geramac9573]

Just purchase G6, do you recommend I convert it to 5" backing plate right off the back? Will there be a big difference?

[@DetailGroove]

It's preference. I personally like 5" because I feel like I have more control and such. The different can be how much you'll cut and on angles or tight areas, the 6" pad will probably lose power/have a harder time working those areas due to size

[@trapcracker]

Digging the hat 👍🏼

[@jesusRodriguez-lz7vk]

Curious about what you mean about soft clear coat? Like it’s been in the sun or old or what?

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

Paint hardness; so, softer paint/ clear coat is easier to burn/ marr with too much pressure/ too much time in the one spot with the machine

[@dmrk0834]

Max Rockatanksy how can I tell the difference between hard or soft paint?

[@epep649]

@@dmrk0834 - spot test usually rear end of the car

[@jarabian5252]

do you recommend HDspeed? and what clay do you recommend for my 2019 Hellcat? There is scratches and swirl marks so I'm sure I should clay forsure.

[@AlmaRockeraOficial]

You should stick to doing interior detail videos

[@DetailGroove]

why is that?

[@bogaloo1231]

1982LHERNANDEZ dude ... these videos are also for people who are learning how to detail, or people who actually care about their car. Very informative

[@brianmiller3349]

I disagree, keep doing all your videos. So very helpful.
