  • One of the questions I get all the time is how do you know if you should use compound or polish on a car? In todays video I will be going over exactly that. What the differences of compound and polish are? When should you compound a car? When should you polish a car? Do you have to polish after you compound? The simple answer is to use the least aggressive method to achieve. the results you want. I will walk through 3 different brands of compound and polish and see which works best: Meguiars, Chemical Guys, or Turtle Wax? ENJOY!!!

    Due to last season’s Hurricane Ida, home renovations forced us to live in our Garage for 8 Months. My white truck had to stay outside for those months. Finally when Renovations were 95% complete (is it ever 100%?) my 2012 Tacoma was spotted like an
    Old Dalmatian. After a deep strip wash, and clay barring, a compound was a no brainer followed by a polish (Meguiar’s products locally available) before waxing. It came out nice following Josh’s excellent advice and teaching.
    Another great production Josh

    Really good vid Josh. With ALL of the wretched excess of detailing products and brands out there [most of it solid] it is good to see you use some standbys that have well known names, are readily available at a brick & morter on a Saturday morning and are considered to be generally reliable. Imo these are generally considered to be solid driveway detailer go-to's for solid results. Although [as a driveway detailer] I lean towards TW products, one cannot deny just how good Meguiar's compounds and polishes are. Well presented cause and results here...

    Thanks for this and all your other videos. I'm starting to get some clarity (HAHA, see what I did there?) on when to use which products. I'd love to see you do a sort of work flow chart. Kind of a "If it like this, Then do That" video. After watching so many videos it seems there are no straight answers. Mostly due to the paint's starting point and the expectations of the user. Obviously if you're going for a fresh start you're going to start with a strip wash to get all the other polishes and waxes off the surface, then inspect the surface and determine if it needs claying. Then determine if it needs compounding or just polishing. This, for me, is the point where it gets confusing. Let's say I've got the imperfections out, do I use a glaze, sealant, wax, Si02 protectant and in what order. At this point I feel like I'm going down the rabbit hole. There are so many product in each of these categories that make very similar claims. Anyway, thanks for the videos and all the info.

    • @jamestapscott9400
      @jamestapscott9400 Před měsícem +1

      The pad conditioner from CG is a no-go for me! I used it on three pads before I realized it was drying them out. It dried out the pads so severely that each one started flaking and coming apart from dry rot. I used two additional LC pads that were the same age and primed both with a spritz of Duragloss DG 923 detailer. No dry rot!
      Stay away from the CG pad conditioner.

  • @natefidalgo7625
    @natefidalgo7625 Před 10 měsíci

    Because polishing/buffing ...etc is quite different then just sanding aka moving from coarse to fine grain sandpaper. Because its not like there is an easy way to measure chemical solutions abrasiveness you got to trust the bottle or try it out on something first before using it on your main object. Where as sandpaper is pretty standard in terms of abrasive numbers 220 ,...etc. Anyway good video and yes i do see that compounding and polishing makes a difference if you got bigger problems in your clearcoat or paint then just polishing only.

    Last week someone entering the parking spot, scuffed my car's bumper in the rear quarter. Multiple scratch spots where I can feel the scratch, other spots are scuff marks as if someone just rubbed the clear coat and it became dull/matte. No experience and no tools. If I try rubbing compound do you think it might help take off some clear coat and level the scratch? After that I can use polish compound and touch up paint.

    Totally unrelated, but, are the foaming cannon orifices standard? If I want to upgrade to a 1.1mm orifice are they universal?

    Newbie DIY-er here who needs help. So I just finished repainting a portion of my car's bumper, also done wet sanding it. It looks nice but it's not glossy in contrast to the other panels. Do I achieve that glossy reflection by doing these steps or is there a different step I should do?

    I have a 22 WRX. It spends it’s time off in the garage. I had the dealer paint stuff put on. Not that happy with it.
    I plan on stripping it and starting from square one. Am I doing any harm by compounding and polishing? It’s not my first paint correction. But it is on a new car. Thanks!!

    The CG doesn't seem to have a long working time like other brands. I find that if you spritz the pad with some pad conditioner before and during the working time it makes a world of difference.

    • @AllAboutTheDetails
      @AllAboutTheDetails Před rokem +3

      Same, use C4 & P4 often will use with recommended pad conditioner that will definitely allows for extended work time, also don’t get the flashing, never had the haze. Always has finished very nice

    3D ONE doesn't nor contain diminishing abrasives.
    It cuts with an aggressive pad, and polishes with a polishing pad.
    3D Speed contains an abrasive load (10% cut, 20% polish, 70% acrylic and montan wax protection).
    I used those Turtle Wax abrasives in 2008 and they were actually very nice! Nice cut from the compound and finishing from the polish. I remember them being very easy to work with, from application to wipe off.
    I'm mostly using 3D abrasives, but I still really enjoy the Meguiar's M110, M205, M210, Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish. Probably because I have so much experience with them.

    • @danlc95
      @danlc95 Před rokem +1

      @RZA77 You might be the perfect candidate for Jescar Medium Polish.
      I do a lot of one step services with it. It cuts better than 3D ONE and finishes same or better most times.
      Ultimate Compound can cut hard or soft by changing pads and technique.
      With Ultimate Compound you can stop buffing at any point in the application cycle without any detriment to product performance.
      Meguiar's M205 as another that's has a surprising amount of cut potential but it's a finishing polish.
      Finally Ultimate Polish is another product I've used extensively for one stepping. It can deliver some cut and has always left me a great finish.

      Perfect man , I appreciate the help. I am going to pick up a paint gauge tester to see how many millimeters I have in my paint. It’s a 2004 bmw 530i , black. I had some cloudyness in the paint and got it out , tried to maintain it with 3d epoxy but that only lasted several months and it’s returning again. I definitely don’t want to do a paint correction again because I’m worried about going through the clear.
      If I buy this tester and I get 80-100 microns in areas , I should definitely not use a cutting compound right ?

    It's funny that you mention the Chemical Guys stuff because I'm in almost the exact same boat.
    I don't shit on many Chemical Guys products because even if they're duplicates of duplicates in a huge bloated product line, they're usually at least some what able to do what they say.
    The big exception to that though has been the C4 compound, I had such a miserable time with it I didn't even try the P4 polish.
    It's the strangest behaving compound I've ever used. No matter how much I used or how little, or what pad I used and how much it was or wasn't primed, I couldn't get it to stop spraying everywhere anytime I got above a speed of 3 or so. I know it's incredibly odd and could have just been a bad batch or something like that but it was the most mind boggling thing to see something continually revert to such a liquidy consistency
