Worse than expected...

[@hybridazndetailing16]

The finishing microfiber pad should be used with 205. If anything use the orange pad with the 105 to cut more, then finish down with the 205.

[@CCDVIDEO]

BTC715 prob thought that the micro fibre is more agressive than the foam pad. In general it is, but a finishing MF is not more agressive than a medium foam pad

[@channkrp]

Didn't see no white claws linked in the description below

[@jason415.]

Savage! Lol

[@glorrior3036]

Aye let’s go! Literally look out for these daily.

[@paulevans9836]

Love the vids but speaking as an old git you should protect your knees using interlocking foam tile or something similar. Unfortunately you won't find out until it's too late!

[@geerty-1807]

Watching these vids becomes the daily routine

[@kio51423]

It literally has for me recently :D

Facts

[@MethmalDhananjaya]

Facts, This is my morning breakfast show.

[@dreydavis8822]

@devin Niemela... bro passes are how many times you go in one direction. Ex..(for all the times you go horizontal on one section is one pass. 2 passes would be on one panel horizontal and vertical.) rule of thumb for compounding is speed 6 with 5 passes with 5 pounds of pressure. So horizontal, vertical, horizontal,vertical, horizontal. Lol each line is not considered a pas. Plus armor shield is really not a good ceramic brand look into gtechniq or carpro or even kenzo. Evo wasn’t coated that long ago and there is no hydrophobic activity on it at all

[@Mc88Flyy]

I did a paint correction on a black Mazda6, it was like night/day difference. Love working on black paint, i'ts unforgiving but when it's done right it looks gorgeous.

[@mysmidget01]

Looks way better with the wet sand and buff nice job .we used to wet sand everything by hand rubber blocks and wet sand paper the DA is so nice way easier .

[@ehesh1499]

What I learned from watching Ammo nyc awhile ago is to get the clear coat warm with 6 total passes. (Vertically then horizontally= 1 pass). Also, ease up a bit on the polish & compound. You want the pad material to do the work too!

[@gunnercotton]

there usually 3 pads. wool foam and ultra foam pad. they mostly use 3 steps for a black car

[@SilentKiller-fx1qj]

Had me cringing when you went around those edges. Glad you didn’t burn thru the paint.

[@ty05sti52]

Use that orange pad you had yesterday and the heavy cut compound and it might save you some time. I just did my 05 sti in jpb and it worked awesome. Great work on the car and uploading the videos so quick.

[@MrZimmaframe]

Man it’s so nice just sitting and looking at fresh glossy paint.

[@Thinbluelinecardetail]

Next time use a compound with a microfiber cutting pad from meguiars. Finish after compound with a polish and and orange HDO foam pad from lake country manufacturing. From what you showed, you're using a compound for cut, but on a finish pad. Thats probably why you had to make so many passes.

[@sawyerandrobbie]

Calipers YELLOW. LIke the tape

[@AlphaSierra101]

Up down left right, cross hatch pattern when sanding, easier to polish out

[@CCDVIDEO]

Yo Dev ✌🏻 not trying to be a negative nancy here but that paint is SUPER hazy. Before you lay down ceramic, please get it out in the sun and double check the work. I suspect there will be a lot of refining work on that paint. Subie’s have VERY soft paint ! Just another detailer/youtuber tryna lookout for you bud ✌🏻🇿🇦

[@joeb9793]

Creative Car Detailing, I was just going to say the same thing. Panels that he says are finished, look somewhat cloudy to me. Definitely makes sure they are all 100% before the ceramic coat process.

[@Dvniemela]

They’re not polished yet, when it’s polished she looks mint. You’ll see in tomorrow’s video :)

[@chevtube7715]

Tell me why that tool @ 5:17 sounds like a viper LoL

[@MrShadyss]

When do you know if to do a paint correction or just paint over the car?

[@zeroyon4562]

I'd guess by how much thickness you have left using a depth gauge and how deep the defects are.

[@gunnercotton]

also the 1,500 wet. is right. just have to be slow with higher speed but be careful not to burn through

[@rayvaughn4855]

You're the first KZbin I've consistently watched since subscribing. Great content 💪🏿

[@joshmorrow424]

M205 with Megs cutting disc. Moderate pressure... with that soft Subaru paint is my go to. One step 85-95% correction with my LHR21. But hell you did what ya did with your options so at the end of the day. It worked!

[@phillipsramoutar1836]

that's true. Putting to much pressure can heat up the paint or clear too much. When the paint gets hot it can burn the paint.

[@joshmorrow424]

@@phillipsramoutar1836 I HATE older Subaru paint. It's no effort to get good results. But the fine line of getting some marks out... you just can't between the age,softness and thinness of em. The VA (15+) Subaru made harder, still thin, and more of mess to work with. It still sucks 🤣

[@jasondeal298]

Looks good man. Next time go to advance and pick up the Maguire's cutting disk Can't go wrong with Meguiar's

[@nicholasspencer1512]

Should be wool pad cutting it once lol. DA is good for a semi new car that doesnt need a huge correction.

[@dohehwang3822]

You should use Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and EXO v4 for your Ceramic Coating

[@jessesanchez6755]

Seems to be the best bang for the buck. I will be using Gyeon Syncro for my Harley and CSL + EXO v4 for my subie

[@edwinthelowks7211]

I knocked out my car in half a day I went sanded it all down in one pass and then I polished out and finished it with some sealant that adds protection to the paint and gloss it also adds another layer of gloss the sealant

[@skippy5927]

Music at 7:09 ?

[@SupremeStreetRacer]

Wow what a great job on the car, especially on the trunk, omg now i wanne do this to my own car. Looking forward to the end result 🤟🤟👍

[@TheOriginalSpawn]

Good job today D. 💯👍 Looks good brother

[@phillipsramoutar1836]

you're using the pads in the wrong order. the orange foam correcting pad is used first or in your case with the ultra cut compound and the microfiber fast-finishing pads is used last with the ultra finishing polish. Using the fast-finishing pad first would make the job take way longer and you would not be able to get out all the very heavy scratches. like your vids tho.

[@robertogrimaldo5831]

Jesus man... this Subie is looking absolutely IN-SANE! Great job Devin! 🤘🏼

[@lukeslater3469]

The wing looked like GLASS after u were finished with it Devin😎👌🏻.

[@Darmine6]

That paint is from someone who took it through the auto wash with brushes and probably washed it with a dirty sponge (after doing a swirling pattern when drying with a towel.) Pro Tip: When drying use the same pattern as if you were polishing.

[@jacobmartel2468]

How much would you sell this sti for

[@ShalomBrother]

Think you got the pads the wrong way round at the beginning boss!

[@lewiscoluccio3717]

He’s perfect dumb dog

[@ShalomBrother]

Jack Fisher 😂

[@mikes.4811]

I've seen people mist water in the air right before they start painting to help get rid of air born dust. Dont know if this actually helps, but it's food for thought in the future? 😕

[@gunnercotton]

for car at that level. should been. 1,500 wet then 3,000 wet the buffing. 3 steps. for a car with that scale of scratches. i hope this helps.

[@Jerseymulisha21]

Another awesome edit as usual..doing a hell of a job on that hawkeye..paint correction is looking dialed 🤘i did that to my evo recently and it was a very long task thats for sure..if you ever see this ill buy ur NRG wheel for my drift missle..

[@damionmyst]

You are using those pads in the wrong order...use the foam then the finishing pad...the foam is for the heavier cutting/correcting.. the finishing is for buffing And use a block for wet a sanding!

[@ShalomBrother]

Pull it out into the sun and check for holograms before you put any ceramic coat on!

[@waltermorgenroth7872]

I'm not old enough for white claw 🤓

[@JACKOFALLFATES]

devin. first off let me start by buttering you up. you're a G. you've shown me a lot of tricks. now its my turn to return the favor! I work detail/paint correction @ Honda/Nissan/Lincoln/Ford/Chrysler. i have a 20 year old B5 audi that has paint close to as reflective as glass. the reason your microfiber pads are falling apart is because you are taking off so much clear that you should probably considering respraying it. either that or you will cut all the way through teh clear. you can get away with it if you just ceramic coat it after a pretty hard cut (like i said be careful) and obviously polish before the coating.

[@JACKOFALLFATES]

and if you respray anything you gotta have such low dust so you dont have to wet sand as much to get the fish eyes out.

[@JACKOFALLFATES]

if you wanna cut corners use a regular rotary buffer to cut it down so you can press more with a wool pad. the 3 axis buffers take way too long.

[@JACKOFALLFATES]

you notice how the pad stops spinning and just vibrates? It's because the pad is too large for the curve of the body. thats why it takes so long.

[@crimescene25]

Yo bro your wasting your time. Hit it with a compound microfiber pad. I understand your trying to “ remove the least paint as possible” but that paint needs it. Also the rupes wool pad works wonders too. Your doing it backwards, working to hard for so little.
