Wow you brought that truck back from the dead that paint was hammered. Nice work on a budget
Thank you!
No clay ba r?
He showed it after the wash@@frozensunset
Thank you so much Scott, I think I speak for everyone when I say we love you and hope one day you return to bless us. If not, that's okay too because you've impressed great knowledge that can't be taken away.
For anyone else watching this/reading this:
If you are like me and used this video as a basis for your first paint correction, harbor freight now sells clay with lube. Additionally harbor freight also sells cheap nitrite gloves which I highly recommend and they now have the spray ceramic that Scott uses in the video.
I myself went with Griots which scott tested as one of the top performers in one of his comparison videos that can be found at a local auto parts store.
To take it a step further and again if you are like me and this is your first time I recommend spreading this out to a two day job especially if it's a truck or large vehicle (i did a dodge challenger) I'm ocd and had to spend a lot of time telling myself I won't get perfection.
Day 1 I recommend wash, dry, clay, dry, tape your plastics and nooks really well. If its your first time you are going to sling some of this stuff, its gonna happen. Then cut and wipe down.
Day 2 alcohol wipe down. Polish, alcohol wipe down then wax ceramic.
This won't help as much for anyone without anywhere to store the vehicle and its just my first time so I'm sure there are other ways to do it but this just my 2 cents. Good luck everyone, much love to all!
Wait, I thought the only products that work are AMMO's $77 wax and $35 soap, and $300 plastic wash buckets...
Glad to see someone post something with sense. I am a detailing nerd, but the YT detailing heros promoting hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of car wash and wax on their channels has gotten silly.
Awesome work! Starting my own detailing business soon and this explained everything👍
Loved this video. I just got a project car and Im going to follow your lead. Thanks for the info!
What a difference $200 bucks make. Awesome job,Scott. Obviously, there is a lot of hard work using the polisher and products. But what a result. And, yes, for weekenders, what better way to spend time to achieve this result? Thanks for sharing, and inspiring those of us with little ready cash but plenty of enthusiasm.
Absolutely. Thank you!
Great is an understatement. That’s a night and day difference! Great work on the detailing and showing the process that got the results.
Really GREAT JOB on this F-150. It's amazing what a good tool and products can do to bring back a dull paint surface. Of course there was alot of work to make this happen ! I will be doing same thing soon. I will be using a MALCO rejuvenator product. Hopefully it will do as good a job as seen in this video. Thanks, Billy / Albq. N.M. 6 / 18 / 2023
I learned something from this. Thank you for the time and effort into it man .
That was awesome! Love seeing beat up vehicles restored. More please..
Great job! 👍
I'll make it happen!
WOW! Really nice job. Incredible transformation.
One of the better overview videos. After countless videos ,I've discovered much more than what brand compound or why someone dislikes one over another. I went with a Amazon polisher and if I grow into a part time business then I'll gladly pay for a Rupes. Less vibration the better. Getting close to them golden years myself and my body reminds me daily lol
Absolutely. I'm almost 40 and have had a polisher in my hands since I was 16. If you're going to do this in a professional setting, wear some kind of hearing protection and pay the extra for the smoothest operating tools you can. You hands (and ears) will thank you. When the porter cable 7424 came out and that was the latest and greatest thing, it made your hands tingle so badly from running it all day. The Rupes definitely don't do that, and I'm sure the flex doesn't either.
great results and like you said your skill and the meguiars products restored that truck more than the polisher. Also refreshing choice of music in parallel to paint transition.
These are the types of transformations that always give me the greatest sense of accomplishment. I'd rather do this than a one step on a $200k+ car any day of the week. Nicely done Scott. Wish Meguiar's released a new series of compound called their "Dusting Series". M105 would sell like hotcakes
Agreed. I really should have worn a mask. It is very dusty, but works amazing.
Good news... it already exists - M110 and M210 :)
^^^ There's your answer, straight from the source. :)
@@MarkusKleis Scott! You've made it my friend! Agreed Markus, solid products. I like what you've been doing with the new branding recently. I'm sure it's not an easy job modernizing the look of a brand with so much history. Keep up the good work!
A few things I'd love your input on:
1) Has there been any discussion about fully moving to self cleaning bottles someday for your compounds and polishes?
2) Is there any desire at all for companies to be more transparent as to which LSP's contain UV protection and which ones don't? You'd know demographics better than anyone I'm sure, but I think a lot of regular consumers just assume any LSP with the words "wax" or "long lasting protection" have UV protection built into them. From what I understand, hardly any of these super chemical resistant LSP's that are CZcams famous explicitly say they have UV protection. Feels misleading
3) Should we be concerned that D101, a simple APC, has the same NFPA health hazard rating as Wheel Brightener? This was sort of an eye opener for me as I don't feel too many people use PPE with APC's. I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can on product safety
Thank you Markus!
@@derek723 1.) Not all compounds or polishes will work through a sprayer. In fact, I would go as far as to say th vast majority do not. We have played with it before and the abrasives ate the sprayers alive.
2.) The challenge with claims in this industry is that the claims themselves have very little clear cut regulation. Small players (and heck, even some of the medium-sized ones) make utterly ridiculous claims on a daily basis. Heck, these days it seems more if either outright lies, or at least intentionally misleading than there is truth.
When it comes to something specific like UV protection, that subject is actually far more complex than the general public would imagine. What constitutes UV protection? A sacrificial component that absorbs UV? How much does it need to absorb? How complete does the coverage need to be? What happens if it stops functioning almost immediately? What about the argument that simply having something over the surface slows degradation, does that count? So on and so fourth.
Bottom line, I wouldn't expect more transparency with those claims in this industry any time soon.
3.) Warning ratings can be there for different reasons. This is another area where it is not as cut and dry as one would think. There is a LOT of fibbing out there, that much I can tell you when it comes to claims.
For example, are you going to put disclosures for impurity levels of something in a chemical/RM? We do. I know for a fact many don't.
So sometimes a "3" from one brand could translate to a "1" or "2" at another. There is a surprising amount of interpretation allowed here.
Pro tip... the bigger the company, the bigger the target on their back for lawsuits, and therefor, their appetite for risk will inherently be lower. This is especially true for publicly held companies. I'll let you read between the lines on that, but a simple example would be the use of persistent chemicals. They are in nearly EVERY single coating on the market. Do they even tell or warn you?
Meanwhile, *some* brands have decided to remove them entirely before they are legally outlawed (again, liability risk avoidance....).
Hope that helped! - Markus
You are awesome no other way around to that transformation was out of this world !
Thank you!
I purchased the same compounds and polisher and later replaced the grease in the head and it's much better. I'm satisfied as I detail about six vehicles a year.
Thanks for sharing, I just bought the same supplies.. incidentally to polish my truck which is the same truck with paint in about the same condition
That truck looks amazing! WOW! Great job!
Thank you!
On vacation relaxing to a sweet piano groove while watching you work... 😂😊
Big improvement on this F150. I want to mount one.
I currently own two Zota 21mm polishers, they are quite similar from what I see in the video.
I also put 5-inch backrests on mine. The next thing I'll do is put a better quality grease on them.
I loved the video.
Greetings from Chile.
Very nice! I have my own F-150 to polish. Picked up some nice tips here
Wow on that first pad on the hood. I've been wanting to see this 👍🏼. Great job
You should be proud. Came out great! No need to chase perfection.
Pure awesomeness. Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Came out great from what it was. Great job 👍
Nicely done. Thanks!
Holy cow! Nicely done!
Enjoyed the video. Not bad for $200. The end result was really awesome. For a weekend warrior I think it would be worth it. I started with the Griots G6 and moved up to the G8 and G9, which I really enjoy. I hope to own a Rupes one day.
You'll love the Rupes. We have several of them in our shop and only had one give up in 8 years...which I planning on rebuilding.
Nice vid that shows that the result is not always up to expensive equipment but rather to good skills.
Very true!
Nice job considering how it started to Wear finished out. Very well done
Man it came out nice, great job!
Great transformation!
wow that is ridiculous!!! great job man! go out for a cruise now!!! incredible!
Nice job! It looks great
I myself was wondering if my blue bauer pad wasnt as coarse as a typical orange cut pad, u have answered my question though! Great video. Sometimes detailing a whole car and being only 5'5 is a struggle itself! Thanks for ur informative video!
You're very welcome! Lots of steps and ladders for sure!
I love the D300 series when it comes to paint correction, never used anything else for 10yrs now hahaaa
it was a super great job man! you are awesome. keep doing videos please.
Absolutely! Thank you!
Saw a video of a guy who fixed the balance and vibration by replacing the grease with white lithium grease. And also replacing the backing plate with an LHR15 5” backing plate.
👍 I plan on buying the other Bauer polisher for my 2012 F150. I am ceramic coating my truck so i want to get rid of the swirls and scratches. Luckily my paint is in great shape so I don't need to do that much to get it ready in terms of compound and polish
But that truck looks amazing now, almost brand new looking
Thank you! It's definitely a great polisher for the price too
Wow! I'm a mobile detailer in Tyler, TX as well. Great video
Good video, very helpful thank you.
I wish I was this skilled!
Great content!!
Looks amaizing !!!
Amazing transformation! Wow. If M105 and 205 didn’t dust as much, I would use it more. But it does get the job done. 105 is a favorite to shine up headlight lenses
Great results you got from consumer grade products!
Thanks for demonstrating your technique.
Out of pure curiosity, what is the air gun on your hose? It looked like there was something inside the nozzle, in the first shot where you were showing off the two buffers...
Cant wait to try this
Scott great video I use synthetic clay bar after washing the car is faster and efficient and it does remove the dirt from the paint. Again thank you for the info
Awesome job by the way with the tools you had to work with. Meguiars never lets you down. I would have finished the job just the way you did, those ceramic spray waxes are great.
Thanks 👍 That they are... HUGE time saver.
Hey Scott, great video. Harbor Fright now has a "Professional Rechargeable Color Match Light" by Braun for $35. Might be worth a try to compare to the scan grip.
Great idea!
Wow! What a difference!
Great video(except the music 😂). Great work. I had purchased pretty much everything you did from Harbor Freight and just came across this video. Glad I did before I went to work.
Very worth it, awesome looking truck now!!!!!
I think so too!
Thank you so much for this video سپاسگزارم
Thank you for this video.
WOW NICE JOB BUD. YOU ARE THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. I am going to be working on our cars this weekend with basically what you have. I'm a little nervous with not having ever used a polisher and there are so many options. I'll start with my daily as it has the roughest paint and has been painted on a few times. I've just washed them and detailed the insides. Always left the outside to someone else.
Also want to try to polish out the scratches where my 2 year old gaughter used a bolt to draw on my car and a rock on my wife's van.
Just take your time. It's easy to want to rush it.
Wow that truck looks amazing!! Makes you love it more. Good job!! How often would you have to do this?
Many years ago, I bought some HFT tools from the big store in Camarillo, CA. Those were the orange colored tools and were named Chicago Electric or something like that. They were junk, sometimes now working right straight from the box, but they were cheap. Their hand tools were cheap. That was back in the 1990's. Fast forward to today and they've cleaned up their act, but prices have gone up a lot.
I bought one of the Chicago Electric maroon colored DA's maybe 7 or so years ago. I'm not a professional detailer, so I figured it would do the job for me. 8mm, shorter unit with a locking switch on the side. It does vibrate and my hands are tingling after a long run. The backing plate isn't balanced either. It uses 6" pads, which I think are on the large side for such a small DA. IT does the job, but if I were a pro, I'd only use it as a back up - the vibrations would do some physical damage.
A few years ago, I bought a 20mm DA similar to the one you bought at HFT. It's a cheap made in China tool with even more vibration and not enough power to keep the pad spinning - I'm going to drop the backing plate down to a 5 inch to see if it helps. The tool was cheap - $59 cheap or something like that.
If i have to choose which tool to grab, I'm almost always grab the Chicago Electric HFT. I thought the long throw would be better, but it's heavier and it's harder to use.
Great job on the truck. It looks nice and shiny now! I have a car in similar condition that I need to do. In a few weeks, when I'm done with my current project.
there is another CZcams video on the polisher where he took it apart and remove the Chinese lube and replaced it with White lithium grease. Then he use a 5" inch pad from a better polisher that was interchangeable. This improved the vibration on the Bauer polisher and make it easier to use.
Yes absolutely made a huge difference.
I agree that the most critical parts indeed besides the substitution of the Bauer Harbor Freights random orbital dual action polisher; would definitely be the foam pads and cutting medium and fine cutting compounds themselves; one could definitely try using and substituting in the Rupes branded name medium and fine five inch cutting compound foam pads for its more aggressive and complete cutting compound action and also using the Rupes branded name medium and fine abrasive cutting compounds also as well;
to see if they can make a visually discernible qualitative and quantitative difference in the final actual vehicle finish quality side by side differences; also one could measure using a gloss meter; if the qualitative and quantitative gloss meter readings were 10 gloss units or higher as that would be a major break thru that would indeed probably be worth paying more in the long run.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Cole Julio instablaster :)
@Mathew Wesson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I have the step down version of this, and it's not bad. Heat wise it wasn't terrible. I'm use to high vibration. So I can't really speak on that. But if you try to use the included handle, it vibrates like a freight train coming down the tracks. I'll have to try and use the pad combo you used. I used chemical guys new c4 and P4 with the orange and white pad. Got a lot of scratches out. But not all. And I know the compounds work. So maybe I was just using too fine of a pad.
Wow. What a transformation. What speed did you use on the cutting phase of the correction?
Amazing job!
I thought I was going to find out about a chinese knock-off compound and/or wax that would blow me away.....
Take care and thankyou for the interesting videos.
I was willing to try them if they sold them, however I think they made a good decision using Meguiars.
You got amazing results
Thank you for the video. I recently bought a bright red 2006 motorcycle with only 1200 miles, and the paint on the tank and front fend look good, but there are lots of swirls in the paint. The rear fender looks cloudy and when it is wet, it shiny, and then when it dries it is dull again with a milky tint to it. I plan on doing this right after the holidays and making it look brand new again. Hopefully, It looks close to what it was back when it was on the showroom floor in 2006. Correct me if I am wrong, but that polisher can be used on chrome parts and restoring plastics too, right?
Good job man!!!
Thank you 👍🏼
Wow you knocked it out of the park looks killer.can you get some orange peel out with just polishing with rupes heavy cut and blue pad thanks for any advice
Great video!!!!
Great video, I appreciate your effort! Would've loved to have seen the end result having started with a more aggressive (or second pass) compound.
Otherwise, looks great!
Agreed - if HF made a microfiber cutting pad, I would definitely have used it.
Looks good 👍🏽
My local HFs do have Meguiars M21 sealant. They also swapped out 105/205 for 110/210 and don't carry the green pads at all. Weird how the stuff varies by store. Oh, and those white "Polishing Towels" they sell in a two pack have the honor of being the *worst* towel I have ever used. I think you could soak them in a bucket of water and pull them out bone dry. They have literally zero polyamide. They do feel nice and soft though. 😁👍
Looks great
Very good video. I am going to do a paint correction on my wife's 1991 red Mazda Miata. The issue I have is that the paint is a 1 stage paint with no clear coat so I can't get aggressive with it. I am going to do a clay bar, then use Mequiars M205 and then of course a wax. What wax would you recommend?
Amazingly great job ~! But what to do about water spots on the windows??
Scott how long did this take you to get it 90% there? Result looks great. I have the HF gear and quickie wax my cars twice a year. I have an SUV that needs a one stage polish and thinking to just bring it to a pro
You're a genius!!!!
Thanks!
I don't think I've seen a more oxidized vehicle then that for quite some time. If you would have hit it with iron fallout spray, it would have gone from black to red 🤣. I have harbor freight 20 mm and 8 mm and with some minor upgrading, they are really pretty decent polishers. As always I enjoyed the video.
Well done
Great job
You are a hardcore-fighter. This bauer polisher is bad-ass with its handling. And you did the hole car! Awesome hardcore-fighter i think. Two-steps. Brutal.
It should be interesting. But its Over...
Quarter the hood.
- one segment meguiars cut with bauer.
- one with meguiars cut and Flex and its best pad.
- one bauer and meguiars finish
- Last one meguiars finish and Flex and its best pad.
Best regeards from Germany.
Thank you.
Great idea!
You inspired me to wake up & go out spend $200 @ Harbor Freight tomorrow! Black F-150 do you think if I fill in the deep scratches with color match before starting your process would help more?
Can you also use this polisher to apply and remove wax? If so, What are the correct pads for application and removal of wax?
Looks fantastic ive recently bought the Bauer polisher and will use it on a friend's 7 series with oxidized paint but I'm going back to harbor freight for the pads I only want to use my chemical guys pads on my car, great job thanks for info.
Great job, what speed did you use on the polisher?
I just bought a Rupes LHR21. Can I switch to a 5inch backing plate without changing the vibration and does it have to be a Rupes backing plate or can it be whatever backing plate such as a Torq?
Thank you. Never knew Harbor had Meguiars
I worked at a dealership for 5 years in the detail department..but was not the cut&buff guy....I'm buying a black super duty crew cab that needs this process... I'm gonna follow this video... With me luck
Nice job❤
Nice job
In front of the polisher from harbor freight there’s a little hole above the housing The Alan wrench that comes with insert it turn it clockwise or counter clockwise the balance it that move the block that’s in the polisher and charge the grease you’ll will see the difference
What did you use for the deep scratch on the passenger door?
Looks great!
The father in law was happy with it!
Scott, it was easy to keep track of where you had been and what you had left to do.
I saw some stuff about the backing plate that it's unbalanced and that's what makes it wobble and vibrate I would try replacing the backing plate and see how it does would be a good video idea
How did you apply the ceramic wax? Did you wipe the truck with alcohol or something after polishing but before waxing? I'm a noob
Wow....... nice job 👍
Thank you 👍🏼
That’s like the best setup for a beginner
Can I use the yellow pad for compound and polish? Or should I also get the blue pad to just compound and yellow for polish like shown in the video? Never done this before haha
How often did you re-apply compound to the pad? I bought the same set up & used it on my truck last week. Same model f150. I re-applied 4 nickel sized drops each time I moved on to another 2 foot section. After about 20 minutes use, both blue pads started putting out a lot of wet compound & then tore apart from the backing. Both happened at speed 4. Wound up continuing with green pads for compound & yellow for polish, both at speeds 2-3, and didn’t have anymore come apart.
Can you explain what speeds you use throughout the buffing process?
What do you recommend for a plastic renewal product
Truck look great , what speed you had polisher?
