- In this video, Nick and Yvan use a ROTARY POLISHER (yep, the rotary is an awesome tool and super easy to use). They pair the rotary with a red jeweling pad to polish this Jeep SRT to an awesome shine.

Best how to videos on detailing! Great company with great customer service
thank you!!
I just installed your 3 Year Graphene coating last weekend on my black Mustang. The slickness and shine is beyond any coating ive previously used!!! Awesome product guys!!!
Love to hear it!
Really like the commentary along with the example of polishing happening. Love showing it in real time as well, at least long enough to give an idea of what does one should be moving the polisher.
thank you!
The pan quote about Yvan is so true. Didn’t Pan also say Nick’s Mullet needs to go back to the 80’s.
Thank you.
Ohhhhh snap look at Yvan doing his thing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great video guys. You both the best!!!!!
Thanks so much!!
If it feels like you are working, then you are something wrong ..great quote ❤
Yes! Thank you!
I applied the graphene coating last weekend. Open garage door in this Oklahoma heat and humidity, leveling the coating maybe not even a minute after applying was super smooth. Couldn’t be happier with the application process
Good stuff
Need diy products here in the uk as soon as possible
They are on the water
I'll second that
I really like you both, im keen to try these products.
Ive been out of the business a while now but ive got a couple of family members cars and your videos have given me less anxiety about appoaching the cars, as they say "if you dont use it, you lose it" but after watching many videos of this channel, i have the confidence again and some new information on how to be better. Thank you yvan and nick :)
Thank you, and enjoy
That jeep looks gorgeous!
It does!
Finally got around to applying this. Observations from a complete newbie. Decon is WAAY harder than applying the ceramic coating. And I think I had the opposite problem from most… I think I under applied and I work the product too much. I have a silver vehicle so it’s tough to see flashing as well. I’m in the 2 hour window so I’m gonna apply a second coat. Thanks for all the tips !!
Thank you, please post your results on our Facebook group.

The 5 year was a pleasure to use. Glossy results. Slick level feel, easy to apply. I was in high humidity, but was able to let it bind, then wipe after a minute.
So great to hear! Did you use it on a personal vehicle or was it a paid job?
@@diydetailofficial both! Have also used the 3 year on customer cars
I used the 3 year on my new toolbox. did a clean, prep and coat. definitely noticed sickness over way it was before coating it.
Sweet!
Can’t wait for this one!
I can not wait until Amazon Canada will sell your fantastic products.
We should be on Amazon shortly...
@@diydetailofficial This is great news !!!!!!L
My mentor taught me the same pattern as Yvan did, starting at the drivers side front fender and working around the vehicle ending back at the drivers door. For washing, polishing, waxing (yes old school) or drying. Always the same pattern. Wondering if thats a very old school standard procedure. Cant wait to apply the 5 year. I did a 3 year a month ago it went well, I haven't done its first maintenance wash yet but looking forward to it.
Many people use that method. Let us know how you like the 5 year coating
What is the red applicator pad cleaning process for reuse after applying ceramic coating?
When done applying the coating, soak it in your wash bucket for 15mins, rinse and dry
It would be nice after if y’all took the car out into the sunlight and did a nice 360. Shop lights and a single angle doesn’t always show the final result as well! Cheers
Fair enough for future videos although we don’t ever polish for perfection. Shiny, glossy, yep! But still swirls and scratches unless we are really going after them. We believe in preserving the finite clear coat vs over polishing
Will you guys ever consider having an actual in person class /school for detailers
Yes please
it's possible for sure
Do you have any videos going over machine around/over raised decals? I have the raised decals on the sides of my Jeep wrangler and have been wanting to do a machine polish.
I also have a question regarding textured plastic trim restoration, since the fender flares could use a touch up over the minor top scuffs/dulling from off roading. I heard a heat gun or hot hair dryer can be used over the plastic trim, but I would like to know from you the professionals if they would recommend this. I don't want to melt the plastic. 😂
Using the yellow Waffle Pad (or the soon-to-be-released Rotary Jeweling Pad) with Gold Standard Polish on a rotary polisher is amazing for going over/around decals. As far as a heat gun, don't use them! Better to use a product like Solution Finish on faded trim
@@diydetailofficial thanks! So no to the heat gun, and yes to the solution finish it is. Will it cover up the minor scuff? The scuff is barely noticable unless you focus on it, and the texture is still there. Water alone did not clean it but I may try an alcohol swap before doing a full clean. Also will you be offering any plastic trim products of your own anytime in the near future?
I hear everyone one say, higher temps and humidity= less time before wiping off. Colder temps and lower humidity= let it sit longer. What about us in Az. High temp no humidity. Do we still level quicker?
you will just be able to see on that first panel. We like to coat the hood first, almost as a "test" panel. Get the coating on the paint, see how it's flashing....how long is it taking, etc. That way your pad is primed, your method/understanding of the paint is good. it seems like every day can be a little different depending on the conditions so just learn to see what the coating is telling you on the paint, if that makes sense
Why are you wanting to level the coating a little bit faster on windows? The substrate bonds faster with the coating and so you need to level it sooner?
Since glass is less porous, it cross links faster.
How does using a last step product as you maintain the coating over the years affect the gloss and slickness. For example, if using ceramic gloss once a month over the ceramic coating will you notice the differences you mentioned in gloss and slickness between the 3, 5, and 8 yr coatings or will they all start to look the same because you are putting the same product (ceramic gloss) over them? Thanks for the super informative videos!
it's a great question, and it's one that detailers naturally ask/think about. It's something Yvan might have a better answer for, but my basic explanation is this. You have the real deal protection as your foundation. You're building something, you gotta have a good foundation right? Which we have here with the coating. Boom, foundation is solid. After that, you have a peace of mind knowing that no matter what happens on the top floors, the foundation is solid. So Ceramic Gloss and Quick Beads are your sacrificial "topper" layers, they have certain properties themselves for sure. But they're drying aids, first of all, to make the drying process safer (which make sense to me regardless of what the properties are) And they add gloss/protection as well (also a bonus for the car, as far as I'm concerned). As far as look and feel? It's hard to say exactly, if I'm trying to give an exact comparison (so many variables over time with driving, maintenance, weather conditions and miles on the car) but my best advice is: don't overthink it:) -Nick
Question on the different coatings, is there any of them (5 year pondering in particular) where the gloss might actually be reduced using Ceramic Gloss or QB on top of it to maintain (not because those products aren't great themselves but because the ceramic coating is that step above in gloss)?
They won’t hinder the gloss, only help it.
Hi Guys, just love the videos, what in your opinion would be the ultimate stack 8 on 3 8 on 5 or 5 on 3
Thank you
8 year base, 3 year topper
So good!!!
appreciate it!
From Detailing Business Academy we learned that rubbing alcohol isn't do much in terms of removing waxes and polish residue and there is a better solution - mixture of acetone and glass cleaner. DIY Panel Prep is 60-75% of isopropyl alcohole, which is stronger version of rubbing alcohol. Has anything changed in terms of using IPA in detailing?
No, Yvan continues to say IPA belongs in the home
@@diydetailofficialbut the panel prep is mostly IPA. 🤷🏻♂️
@@orthodox1717mostly, not completely
Best dial speed for DA polisher for jewiling paint?
1-2
Does the rotary pad / polish combo used do any paint correction at all? ie: very fine scratches/micro marring?
Very light yes
I've done a reasonable amount of this type of polishing (rotary, soft pad, finishing polish - I know Gold Standard can cut too though) and it's surprising and pleasing how much it removes swirling. I had an "interesting" discussion with a detailing supplies shop about what I was purchasing - they said "that won't do anything", and they also looked at me as if I was an idiot when I told them I use a rotary. The guy said "I burnt through paint on a Porsche the other day, and I've been using a rotary for many years". I ignored him. (and I'll avoid using him if I ever do hire a pro!)
Is there a specific reason why you’d wanna use a rinseless wash damp towel to remover polish over all clean ?
No need to use something that agressive.
I just did the 5 yr on my bronco and waiting for 2hr to do the 3yr over it. I put the 5yr on and it was warm and humid in the garage. I could put it on and wiped it off within a minute was that wrong to do?
Perfect, please share your results in our facebook group.

Great video guys, learning alot about your products. Some detailers said that the towels used to level the coating should be throw away aftetward. Is it the same with you all ceramic coatings?
nope! Just immediately put them in your bucket of Rinseless Wash or put some All Clean in a bucket with water and soak for 30-60 minutes minimum, then they can be washed and will be totally fine to use again
@@diydetailofficial
That's good to know
Excellent video!!! What’s the shelf life of the coating both sealed and opened?
Good question! One year sealed, 4-6 months once opened.
Hi guys, I remember on one of the other video you guys polish the whole vehicle without wiping. So is the gold standard polish work time long enough to go through the whole vehicle without wiping? I usually take 6+ hrs to do a 1 step polishing with a Rupes 5” buff and shine urofiber and 3D1. If I change the polish to gold standard will I be able to go through the whole car without wiping ?
Yes, it is! Just not in direct sunlight
I had my car (black paint, polished and coated with a very reputable brand) in a body shop for several weeks and unfortunately, they returned it with swirls/light scratches all over. The coating still seems working but I need to polish it again. What's been your favourite way to polish a coated car to remove the coating and swirls before re-applying a new coating?
you don't want to make a habit of polishing coated cars just because you see scratches, because I promise you it will just get scratched/swirled again. But if they're really bugging you, don't focus on "removing" the previous coating. Just do a wash, decontamination step with iron remover and decontamination towel, and a light polish. yellow waffle, gold standard polish, speed 3 no pressure. panel prep and coat
@@diydetailofficial Thanks. In this case, the body shop really did a number on every panel they weren't working on. Very frustrating for anyone who really looks after their car...
@@diydetailofficialWhich rotary polisher is used in your video please?
I usually throw away applicator and towels used in coating applications
Do you recommend washing & reusing them?
No need to throw them away.
How long do yhe coatings last if my car goes through a lot a wear
Depends on how often you wash it? Is it garaged? What part of the country do you live in? And very crucial…how thorough was your preparation before coating?
Hi
Can you make video how its look aftet curing please
Allow 1 hour before it gets wet, one week before washing.
Can it be applied onto of PPF without any long-term effects?
Yes, you just wouldn’t polish PPF before coating👍 treat it like matte paint, which we coated in this video: czcams.com/video/ycxHU-NVu4w/video.htmlsi=OOkHBrAwpV16aKiE
@diydetailofficial Thank you very much! Looking forward to trying the 5 year on a few cars. Ordered placed. Cheers
Thank you
A link for the jeweling pad?
Not available for another month or so
Hey guys, love your products and content. About to apply your 5 year coating to my truck. Do you have thoughts on coating vs Ceramic Gloss for the windshield? Thanks in advance!
Both, polish the glass when you do the paint. Apply the 5 year coating when you do the rest as a foundation, then DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss when you wash as a drying aid.
The polishing notched up the paint three levels. Wow the coating is glossy and notched up the paint four to five levels. I use a microfiber soaking in rinseless wash to wipe off too. Using panel prep to remove the polish just feels to grabby to me. I box in my working area too when applying the coating then start giving my best karate kid moments when waxing on. Mr. Miyagi makes sure I do not have high spots😂.
Quick question do you have a product in the pipeline to give outstanding gloss like CarPro Release, Titan, or Dreammaker? Thank you for another excellent video!
Thanks Neil, we’re always working on and testing products behind the scenes but nothing in the immediate future no
@@diydetailofficial thank you and my mind was looking for a gloss boost for the eight year ceramic coating.
Thanks for another great video guys. question would using using a forced rotation yield the same results as a rotary? Also what pad size do you recommend. Thanks.
Lots of people polish with forced rotation so that’s fine but it’s not the same technique or results. It might look great as well but it’s not the same finish as you get with a rotary
@@diydetailofficial Thank you one more question what size pad do you recommend on your rotary 5, 6 or 7 inch?
Love the 5 year coating- installed it a week ago. Question though: I use the Technicians choice ceramic detail spray as a topper- used it 24 hours after install, and then today 8 days after coating installed for first bath with carpro reset (cool panels, shade, etc). I noticed high spots from the detail spray after I used it today as a topper, and this never happened before with this spray. I had to use Gold Standard to wipe away the high spots. In y’all’s expert opinion, is there a reason why the detail spray would leave a high spot on the ceramic coating and not the old waxes I used to use? Very confused right now.
We’ve never tested that over our coatings. My thought would be the coating is rejecting it. If using it again as a drying aid( no toppers are needed) use very very little.
@@diydetailofficial first off, thank you for always responding to my questions. I will follow your advice on the next bath and lower the amount of product that hits the panel as a drying aid
@@diydetailofficial wanted to clarify, I used the wrong term - I meant as a booster not a topper
@@seansean8008 again, less is more
@@diydetailofficial okay I just wanted to follow up again. To summarize, I have two cars with Cquartz 3.0 and two cars with DIY ceramic coating, 5 and 8 year. I used TEC58205 as a ceramic booster on all of them. The Cquartz did not have an issue with it, but both DIY coatings left high spots all over on various panels. When I used it this morning for the first time on the 8 year coating, and I used it very sparingly and buffed thoroughly as I always do, it left high spots in various spots on several panels. This is just a friendly warning to anyone out there who loves TEC58205 like me- don’t use it on DIY coatings: find another booster.
Why you have in USA coating that holds 5 years? We have only for 2 years in one layer!
Where are you located?
@@diydetailofficial I'm from Germany, between Cologne and Frankfurt
Is your 5 year coating save to use on PPF as well?
Yep!
Are you having a black Friday sale on this?@@diydetailofficial
are you coming out with a dedicated glass and wheel coating
Not in the works right now anyway…
Re the glass, any idea how long these coatings last? In this video from Pan The Organizer, the (competitor's) coating he was testing seemed to hold up better on the paint, although he only showed the water behaviour on the windshield, which may have been abraded by the wipers. (he didn't say whether it was better in the areas not covered by the wipers)
czcams.com/video/JLhTW_D7b8Y/video.html
Yes unfortunately abrasion is the enemy of coatings. On windshields durability is very dependant on that.
How long do we need to wait for the car to be able to drive ?
1 hour
For the polishing, were you using the Gold Standard Waffle Pad? It wasn't the same color, so just curious?
It’s called our Rotary Jeweling Pad, it should be available late July 😀
@@diydetailofficial In using the waffle pad will the same effect still apply?
21:09 I keep my cars for a long time. A good 10 years or so. The coating to me is great for appearance, ease of cleaning and protecting the paint from the elements so it's still looking like new when you go to sell it.
agreed!
How can you tell when you need to apply a few more drops to the pad? Sorry, still learning about ceramic and been debating on taking the jump and going after ceramic since I've done the paint correction and polishing process
You can honestly get away with applying a couple more drops every panel you do. Also, test it out and see how far you can get with the initial primed applicator. You’ll notice less product on the surface the further you go.
when the solution on paint starts to thin out during application, that's when you know you need more coating. on the other hand, you can tell you have *too much* on when the coating is just running/dripping on the paint once you apply the pad. you will honestly get a feel for this as you coat panel by panel. but again, you want to see the coating as it's being applied. not too much, not too little...it's a bit like goldilocks lol but practice makes perfect
Also do you need an expensive rotary polisher? Or can I use any rotary polishing?
They have shown in a few videos that you can use a dual action sander paired with the gold standard yellow waffle pad and still get great results 👍🏻
rotary gives more gloss
@@mdoyal111 that they did but the red pad that’s coming out. One day 😂 is meant for the rotary to bring out the gloss.
@@stevenv9224 thought you meant in general! Yeah they’ve said to only use the red pad on a rotary. I’m sure you’d be able to use it with whatever rotary you have
if you want to use a rotary, use any rotary - there are very reasonably priced ones. If you're a fan of dual action machines, like some folks said below...you can use the palm sander with our yellow waffle pad and that does a nice job, or you can spend more for a dual action polisher as well.
Will this process for polishing with that pad and speed 1 remove light swirls? Also is a faster speed ok ?
Yep, it will! Very light swirls, probably not worth trying to get a scratch out with this pad though, it’s the opposite of aggressive. No…if you’re going to finish polish with a rotary, keeping it on the absolute slowest speed setting is critical even with this pad
@@diydetailofficial thank you. I’m new to detailing. Just purchased a 23 Dodge Durango last month and I think my towel created some light swirls. Actually they’re straight that’s why I believe it’s from the towel. Do you recommend this pad or your yellow pad?
If they are very light( towel marks generally are) then yes the red waffle pad will do the job
@@diydetailofficial thank you for your help.
@georgenoutsopoulos9982 thank you for the questions
How many pads are required to polish a whole car?
If you're just using the one pad for polishing, one pad. If you're compounding with wool and then polishing with the rotary jeweling pad, 2. That's because the pad washer system is so awesome when you use it with our line up and standard operating procedures:) so basically, you just need one pad to polish the car
One
What polisher are you guys using? thanks
it's a brand called Car Shield. They're not available in the U.S.....yet
@@diydetailofficial Thank you for your response!
What about lights during polishing steps and coating application/inspection? How important you consider that? Cause Is something you don t talk so much 🧐🤔
It’s less important than many will make it out to be.
How are swirl not eminent with a once over pad
Sorry I don’t understand the question
2nd don't think I can beat Rico 😂
Anyone can. It's just that I prevent that from happening 😁😁😁
Humberto is always first. No 2 ways about it 😂❤
I used to think he is a bot, one time I got upset and reported him to youtube. sorry puertorico , I know now you are human:)
@@CVMarius I am just visiting this planet 😁👽
Yvan putting your thumb on the coating in your hand for unwanted drops is a good idea?
Thank you
What applicator for the coating did you use? What brand is it?
