[@darkman8022]

My man I started cleaning cars a long time ago before all this you tube stuff and it was hard I was polishing and waxing by hand using over the counter mess there was no-one to get info from and detailing was a big secret if you wasn't in a shop you were lost.i was going house to house cleaning and made good $$$$ on day i got online and Griots garage came up and that stuff was considered expensive back then and i got their porter cable kit and things really changed,now all these products and info out here is crazy keep doing what you do F#%& the haters bro they will always be here maybe one day I'll post a cleaning session good luck peace

[@Runofthemillcookie]

This is the absolute best comment. I’m 23 but I grew up with my father having me go outside and do what I thought was just waxing. Overtime I learned he was having me wax it at times and correct it at others. It was the first ever taste of detailing, and I didn’t even know it was a thing. He just had me keeping his cars nice lol.

[@duckyboy53]

This is facts. Keep doing ya thing Wilson. There is always be people who think they’re more right than others. You do what works for you and you bring it out for people to learn from you.

You make using a polisher look so easy, Luke. Up to this point, I've been afraid to even try to use a DA on an actual vehicle.

[@pandassudsnshine4125]

Using dual action polisher I recommend for entry level detailers. It’s hard to make errors and doesn’t leave swirl marks. I prefer the good old fashion dewalt polisher over dual action polisher. I’m saying this because of heavy oxidation and deep scratches vehicles will not give you great results with a simple dual action. Best dual action I’ve used is the mt300. You will use many products and pads just for a section at a time. But it gives you the results of a dewalt first and using a dual action polisher to finish the vehicle.

[@georgemyers6518]

A lot of what the polishing doesn’t get out will disappear when the car is outdoors in natural daylight. Great job on that car.huuuuge improvement.it should look spectacular outdoors I think

[@wilsonautodetailing]

[@dextec49]

Good video. Patience is key. Comments are what they are. Duplication is key to getting the most, that shine you want. Chill, relax and listen is the best way to understand where he is coming from. Simplicity, patience. Keep doing these videos for us who want to be good in doing this and get a smile at the end. Thanks!

[@altillman1448]

HD recommends using One followed by Poxy. Speed however is described as a single use combination mix between One and Poxy however its just not as strong as using them seperately. They mention use of One and Poxy for a first time customer paying for a detail paint correction then Speed alone on follow up jobs. They all are three EXCELLENT products!

It’s funny how you take an old process that’s been around for decades! Give it a new name “paint correction “ and automatically it become the most technical process in the world.. cracks me up.

[@nihilisticpunk24]

I noticed instead of doing the 2 x 2 sections, you were able to do entire panels at once. Is there any pros or cons to this?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

It depends on a lot of different variables, it’s rare that I would suggest that

[@CallsignArchangel]

You def want smaller areas. Really work it in, and don't let the product dry. It also allows your pad and backing to cool down between panels.

[@jasonshort3047]

Depends on how much time you want to spend XD

[@joshuaguillory1070]

It went from swirls to shining like a pearl

[@Snicker60515]

Great video Luke! I especially liked the part where you mention where beginners(I included) mess up when learning to do paint correction. One would be quick to blame the tool, but you can get good results with any tool, but if you don't know how to maneuver that tool, you won't see results. It's all just practice in the end. Thanks also for showing a little of how you handle the DA on the front bumper cover, something we don't see enough of during these instructional videos. Cheers Luke!

[@streetboyz1096]

What’s the difference between a 1 step 2 step 3 step paint correction? Also, if polishing is for bringing out the shine and remove small blemishes, and there are pads that attack the scratches more harder, do you need to use “compound”?

[@utzdeac]

one step gives you a level o correction, 2 steps gives you more correction, multi steps are for "show car". yes, the compound is for removing more clear coa,t so more defects and after compound you need to polish to refine the clear coat, usually the compound will leave haze in the clear coat and with polish you will remove that haze/holograms and bring the shine

[@detailedbyjr]

@@utzdeac agreed

[@potatoburger9659]

The step variation goes - sanding/compound/polish Those are all the steps for paint correction

[@Gnetbird]

Great advice. Why kill the paint with heavy compound. A few swirls won't disappoint. 👌 what really works for me just switch to a polishing pad for the last pass with left over haze. It really works great.

[@Bigbitsuni]

This a da fam.. You're not really killing anything... A baby could buff with a da and not do any damage

[@raymondpaterno2800]

I also tried a ONE step UNO PROTECT + P & S bead maker. Fast and it will give you satisfying result as well.

I hear you'll get great results using the Buff & Shine eurofiber 50/50 pad with HD One

[@stephencarbonaro5462]

I literally cut and finished an m3 in that bluish black color (cant remember the name of the color, lol) with a uro-fiber and m105. It came out pretty darn good. Not great, but darn good.

[@nickrobey5931]

3D one and the Uro-Fiber pad go together harmoniously 🤙🏼

[@daves.3278]

I have that pad too i like using griots Boss correcting as a 1 step.

[@owensteele1274]

I'm sure this M3 may have been Carbon Black. Absolutely beautiful shine and flake-pop with that colour when polished properly. For some reason I keep getting monumental dusting with foam pads using M105, not so much with the M205. I'm ordering up some uro-fibre products to see if it will make some difference with the dusting and drying. Or it may even be my technique that could be wrong?

[@Big_Old_Dog]

@@owensteele1274 M105 is known to dust. If you search around you'll find ways to control it like by not working it as long, using QD to extend work time, slowing down your speed and working clean (cleaning your pad each time you add more product)

I have the 15mm throw and the 21mm throw pro series DA's from maxshine. I often find myself between 3 and 4 on the speed dial. Nice to see that others experience similar things. Also, with 3D one, Brian from Apex detail and Pan the organizer really suggest using a uro pad. those guys often times will use that combo as a one step enhancement.

[@Mrjozz011]

Have you tried MaxShine compound and polish? I’m very impressed with MaxShine products and prices.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Yes and yes agreed!

[@malcolmgustavo5142]

I love your explanations man

[@nc.detail]

You work in small sections to allow the abrasives to focus on that smaller section. Half a hood is too large for effective correction as you're spreading the product too thin and clogging the pad. The slow speed is for correction not the high speed as you're suggesting. You're getting the results of an enhancement, not a correction by using your methods described in this video.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

I think you seriously misunderstood a few things in this video

[@wilsonautodetailing]

At what point did I suggest high speed is for correction? Hook it up in the comments

[@nc.detail]

@@wilsonautodetailing At the very beginning, you said you were going to use a higher speed to help with the body lines. This would be resolved if you would simply use the right sized pad for the panel. Again, you're simply doing an enhancement and not a true correction. You're only going over each area a couple times and not cycling the product fully. Evidenced by the thick layer that is all over the paint. You simply can't get enough cut by doing full door at a time and using a single pad. Cleaning it out only buys you another half a panel. You should be using 8+ pads of different sizes to get that job done properly. Taping the trim is still needed for a DA, it saves your pads and the trim itself. I guess we have different definitions of paint correction and the proper process. Then again we could be at different price points. Best of luck.

[@robertohiguera8832]

@@nc.detail I think people who are you using an entry level polisher wouldn't be interested or maybe afraid to use 8 different pad sizes. I get what you're saying but I assumed based off the title that this video was for beginner detail hobbyist.

Great advice and video as always Luke! I've learned a lot from your videos!

[@coachtim6188]

Interesting observation about the difference in the younger generation vs older as I scroll through the comments on Luke's videos. Most all of the detailers in their late 30's or older try so hard to reply to anyone that asks a question or says thank you or at least like the post even though it's incredibly hard to do and cuts into their time. They at least try. Younger generation, very rare. Most youth today don't even feel bad if they don't. As a school teacher, I see the shift all the time. Sadly, common courtesies like that are quickly going out the window.

[@rg_barrow]

He’s not very skilled...he’s trying to cut time by using more polish and buffing larger sections at a time which is really just cutting corners. Sometimes he doesn’t even apply pressure as he’s compounding. Also also, he’s not overlapping his passes by 10 - 15 percent 🤦🏻‍♂️ Much better to use less compound and buff 18x18 or 24x24 sections at a time. Also noticed he doesn’t respond to comments on the channel often, if at all.

The Maxshine is PERFECT for an enthusiast and even as a daily driver on a budget. You're not going to get different results using a Rupes 21mm/ 15mm throw DA vs. a Maxshine 21mm/ 15mm throw DA. Meshing together certain products, Backing plates, Pad types, Pad brands, comfort in your overall movement, arm speed, pressure, cycling the product properly etc. is what's going to give you different results. There's pros and cons to every long throw DA no matter what the cost. It really just depends on your preference.

[@collinhopper7542]

Wilson Auto Detailing, In this process did you ever think about stepping up the aggression with slightly increased machine speed, slower arm speed, and only one pass to cut through the defects, and then decrease machine speed and increase arm speed to refine during the second pass? Or maybe even using a machine with a smaller throw? There is a slight *bloominess* (DA haze) to the finish of the paint, but don't get me wrong the paint still looks great. In regards to lighting, there is truth to having better lighting but super expensive Scangrip lighting is not needed or necessary. I think you could have great luck with Lutec lights sold at Home Depot online, specifically the 2500 Lumen or 3500 Lumen unit, they are very affordable. I would like for you to know that I am not commenting to degrade your work, the car looks pretty good. But what if in the same amount of time you could give the customer a better result? I know that on these softer clears there is a fine line that we need to balance between maximizing defect removal and finishing in one step, I've gone round and round with them, especially blacks.
