The longer the video, all the more we have to learn from you. Thank you Brian! Beautiful, well done.
Excellent job gentlemen, a great way to relax for 30 minutes watching a pair of Pro's nose to the grind stone to achieve a totally, wicked finish, many thanks !!
Junior sounds almost like Senior. Awesome Junior doing the ropes and explaining from his point of view too. A team is made from all its members and what an excellent team. 🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆👏👏👍
Ethos Detox is a great product and one of the best I have used. Amazing also to see triple digits as possible on all your videos.
It's great to see Jr on the polisher!!!!
The process is a long one and people don’t realize it. I have done many vehicles and when I tell them I need the car for 2 days they are in disbelief. I explain the process and the cure time then the end results speak volumes.Awesome job Brian and Junior ✊💎The black is a beautiful vehicle when swirl free and protected 💎
That is why I put these up on youtube...gives customers an idea of how much work goes into them.
Vehicle looking awesome! Great products!
Wow Brian awesome video!
The longer format is fantastic. Feels like a full episode rather than a quick video. Love it!
Junior did a good job as well
Great update on the cerakote
The C6 is my favorite [modern] Corvette and you made it really pop through the screen.
Can’t wait to see more 🍻
Amazing results with proven techniques & fantastic products!!
Awesome video Brian & Brian jr
Great video again Brian. Thank you sir. You have given some great advice to us mere mortals for years buddy and I’m sure I speak for lots of your subscribers when I say a heartfelt thank you. Take some advice from a man who has been on his knees as a floor layer, I would strongly advise that you get some knee pads of some description buddy. Keep doing what you are doing , this is my favourite CZcams channel.
I truly appreciate the kind words.
@@apexdetail85 you are the man sir. Nice to hear junior doing a little narrating. Take care sir ❤️
As per usual Brian! And Brian Jr. That Corvette C6 Looks like another roped off New Car show! Thanks again for sharing your great knowledge and experience with all of us!
Your detail videos are so awesome that they make your product videos boring. Love your channel and the knowledge that you share for free!
Nice work Brian!
Brian, you and your son make a great team, thank you to the both of you 👍😁
I have nothing but respect for this profession. I myself would not have the patience required to do this level of quality.
That was great! I hope people now realize how hard detailing is. Its time consuming and back breaking and I'm not a professional! Well done sir.
Great job gentlemen! The student sounds and works just like the Master.
Junior made an appearance! Great video, Brian! Keep 'em coming! Thank you!
Very Good Turn Around~~!! Great tips from Junior also! Appreciated! ;-)
Damn, your timing on this one couldn't have been more perfect... Thank You. I just picked up a black '05 C6 3 weeks ago, and it looks great from about 6' away, but some pretty good water spotting, few bird poop stains, and lots of light cob-web swirls when you get up on it. Never done any kind of correction before, and I've been binging on you, Pan, Dallas, and Autogeek... gotta admit there's so much out there that it's confusing what to use.
You can do it! Pick a company and go with their products. You can mix-n-match, but it could get confusing as a beginner. Feel free to reach out. Happy detailing to you. 🤙🏻
Go for it!
Watching all these videos can make it seem confusing and overwhelming. Trust me I've been there. But there are many guides online that outline the process and simplify the steps needed. As far as products, it depends on what you're attempting to do. Just pick a brand and stick with that. And always remember, price isn't always the deciding factor when picking products. Paint correction and polishing is the hardest part, but so worth it. There's no replacement for experience, so just dive in and I'm certain you'll surprise yourself with how well it comes out.
I also love to watch Car Craft Auto Detailing. He always says that its not about the products and their prices. Paint correction is all about knowledge and technique your'e using. Better products and machines make the job faster and more efficient but for the average user just use what you got, I think its more worthy to invest in good lighting to inspect your work and protection for your paint after polishing.
You got this!! I am here and in the Facebook Group to help if needed.
I love these videos! Great tip waiting for the panels to cool before wiping.
Great video full of useful tips again. Junior gave a lot of great tips too. I would have stopped after the first test spot because the results were very good. You were patient and did the second test spot as you should have.
great work... a good 15 points higher on the gloss meter. do you have to warn the customer to wear eye protection from all the shine
Mine was torched. Really like the acrylic black hybrid turtle wax. Hard to get it but finishes great on a ceramic coating.
Nice work guys! And smart move having the kid do the sides, lol!
Amazing in-depth video on how to correct your paint!
That was fun😀
Learned a lot..
Thanks Brian 👍🏼
Very enjoyable video. I am glad we had a chance to hear from Jr. By the way, he sounds very much like you Brian.
Just did my C6 ZO6(Black). All Ethos,graphene next. Took a while to correct, was definitely on my back and sides on a mat, getting those “low” areas. Thanks for all the help,tips, and details.
Always EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINING, THANKS BRIAN.
Many moons ago I had a black c5 and it was full of swirls and spiderwebs. Every time I washed it I just applied polish after drying it and rubbed it in in straight lines never circles. Without paying attention one day I just noticed that the car had turned into a mirror. Not a single line to be found. I don’t know the clear coat they use on corvettes but it was pretty crazy how shiny it turned out.
You sound like your dad!
Great job.
Wow 😮 absolutely amazing results! Great job my friend 👏
As always, excellent video and results
Thanks for all what you do for us still learning
Black... the toughest to get looking a mile deep. There's nothing like a black car after the paint is right! Nice job as always!
This is why I love Black cars!
Love the longer format Brian. Great to see you and junior working together. Some of the best days of my life where spent working with my dad. Thamk you both.
Very nice , I was just doing some comparisons of F6 and 3D one and just asked the group about harder paints and I find this. Thanks man.
another master piece good friend. nice 2 c Jr pickn up the slack 4 the old man.sounds like ur getting horse u feeling ok?as always car looks bad ass. b well good friend.
Looks fantastic! Good to hear Jr!
Damn! That thread hanging from your sleeve was driving me nuts! Lol
Thanks! Excellent video!
omg its like early christmas present from mr brian 31:40 let me get my popcorns yes i'll take it
It was great hear and see Junior in the video since he did a great job since he had a great teacher. Brian you should be proud .
Definitely proud.👍
That Ethos Detox bottle label looks like they hired the Chemical Guys graphic designer...
Most excellent as always fellas!! I will say Brian you need a lift my friend!!!! Chicago Auto Pros did a great review on a portable lift and results were very positive!! Love the channel 👊🏻
Being particular and fussy, TAKES TIME PEOPLE. BUT THE RESULTS ARE AWESOME. 😎👍👍
I like when you tell us the products being used, compound, pads, polisher, polisher SPEEDS, ETC.
Been watching many of your videos. Much respect for what you do.
The CeraKote not only holds up well it’s very economical compared to some other options. Like the individual packets too. Excellent turn around it it seemed relatively quick as well. 👍🙌
1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
Great video.again sir congrats
Well done Junior. Like to hear more from you
720 60p looks amazing👌
They have it at 1080p 60fps also
Great vid god I loved this
Excellent video Brian,
Love that car
Stay safe be well brother.
Kevin Atwell
tell jr. the fans said good job
If it's your first time using cerakote trim coat, tape off the areas you don't want covered. It's a pain to remove it if it dries on a place you don't want it to be.
Thanks again Brian great video.🤠👍🎃
Brian can you do a video on how to care for stainless steel (exhaust tips and accessories). I can never get my 304 Stainless tips looking new after a few months of winter.
Koch Chemie F6 should be almost the same as Sonax PF.
It turned out awesome!
Hello Brian, thanks for another video, love them all! I'm so glad you mentioned/hinted on how much real time it takes to do all that work. With past videos you would mention, "we can go around the car relatively quickly", made me think I'm doing something wrong! In that it takes me 3 full 10-12 hour days by my self to even do a full correction (from wash/clean inside and out) let alone additional protections/ceramic install, etc (weekend warrior). In fact that is a question I've been wanting to ask you, I now have 2 kids under 3 and 7 cars and I just do not have the time that is needed anymore to do the level of work I'd like to. What would your approach be if you only had a day here and there to upkeep the cars? My thinking would be paint prep the best you can and then lay down the LONGEST lasting protection I can, due to time limitations.. Or would you paint prep, and go with something like the turtle ice seal and shine and wash and re-apply every few months? My only concern is the "maintaince" you mention in the videos that ceramics need (or is using the matching ceramic shampoo/rejuvenator quick and enough?)
Nice thanks Brian
Great job as always. You've been asking about sound, your voice didn't sound as full as it usually does on this vid. maybe like there was less low end, can't quite put my finger on it.
For those of us who are clumsy, take your pick that you popped the dropper plastic piece out of the ceramic bottle with, and USE IT TO EXPAND THE HOLE A BIT, then if you knock over the bottle, you won't loose as much product. 😎👍👍
Amazing video as always ! What do you use to take out or minimize birds stains / etchings ? Thanks
Great work guys 👍🏻 Can you show how easy/hard is to remove polishing compounds from pads after use? That´s why I won’t buy some polishes/compounds again.
Hi Brian, could you review and chemical test Glassparency graphene coating? Looks like a winner!
More longer videos
What’s with that little splash of background music at 8:20?? Brian you getting fancy on us?
Jr edits now....that is on him. 🙂
It was the perfect vol - not distracting and the video definitely didn’t seem 30 min long - both of you keep up the good work.
Just starting out my home garage detailing business and this was perfect timing to see you doing the same car! Thanks! Customer asked how much for full interior and one step correction with a Tec-582 application. Doesn't want a coatimg right now. His C6 is in the same condition as the one you did. Doesn't need a ton of correction. I have the Euro pad but not the F6. I have 3D ACA510, 3D one & KC M3 micro cut. Do you think the 510 may be too aggressive? I'm wondering if the M3 would've done what you wanted if you went up one more level to a med. cut or heavy cut pad ...or used a wool on rotary. I'm in OH so also curious about what you'd charge for the wash, chem. decon. & clay & one step along with full interior detail, just to get me in the ball park. Doing the work is fine. What I struggle with is knowing how to set price without screwing myself. Would $300 be too low?
Do 350-400
101!!! 🤩
Hey Brian I have 2011 chevey express and on the roof it gets like oxides paints in good shape I used a bunch of combos a da with wool microfiber ect, a heavy compund from auto magic it's called xp it's a heavy compound they used on boats it seems to work but then down the road it comes back so I don't know it I should try a rotary with a heavier cut compound or do I have to wet sand what your recommendation or recommendations thanks!!Happy Thanksgiving
Looks really good like a mirror! 👍
I sometime think it is hard to se were the coating are on the panel (I have different lights) . Any advice for how to see it better?
Because of you I have now changed grease in a Maxshine M15 Pro, Maxshine M312 and a Maxshine M550.
We use our Husky and point it right down onto the panel as we coat.
Excellent vid. What kind of longevity are you seeing on Tire King?
It has been raining non stop lately. The tires clean up quickly. a little over a week ....week and a half.
Really nice job once again.
I’ve got a 2015 VW GTI. Reflex silver I believe is the name of the color. I have been on the fence about trying to polish it myself. I only can see minor scratches. And some water spots that I can make out. Would you have any advice?
Thanks again.
3D One and a white Lake Country Polish pad.
After the circuit treatment on the black plastic did you put a coating of the ceramic over that too?
Great work! Im always learning from you!
am looking to purchase a quality DA polisher and was hoping you could give me a recommendation. My budget is in the $200-300 range. Thank you!
MaxShine M15 or M21
hey brian what backing plate are you using on the maxshine? it looks different then the one it comes with
Is there a way to tell how many corrections a clear coat can handle? My C7 has had one but I loaned it out and the guy washed it at a automated car wash.
Which coating do you prefer? The ethis ceramic or graphene matrix coating?
Hey Brian. Awesome vid! Would you recommend cerakote on plastic trim over using Ethos graphene ceramic coating?
Yes.
Brian whats your favorite panel prep? Eastwood paint prep? IPA, denatured alcohol, Gtechniq PW, Ethos Detox, CarPro Eraser? anything helps pls
Eastwood and Bilt Hamber cleanser fluid.
Black vette turned out beautiful. Brian or Jr. would you compare the clear coat on the vette to my 2017 black Cadillac xts ?
That will be medium to hard as well.
Looks amazing. What polisher was Jr using on the sides? I noticed it never stalled out. My Griots stalls out like crazy, even with the washer mod done.
It's either the Torq 15D or 22D..
@@jdisdetermined thanks
Which microfiber brand are you using to remove the KC polish Brian?
Can it be used on decals?
What works best on Corvette clear coat, Koch F6O1 or 3D One both using Euro Fiber 505/50 pads? Also, I never saw you drop the top to correct and ceramic coat the tonneau cover area covered by the top. Do you do all the correcting and coating on the accessible panels and then go back and do the tonneau area separately?
The waterfall was corrected off camera. It depends heavily on the defects you are chasing. very hard to answer without knowing more details.
Thanks for the video. Can you provide a link to the gloss meter? I see them on eBay but they’re are many different models of the same looking one. Also, do you have it set to 20, 60, or 85 degrees when doing your readings? Thanks for the information.
I have mine set at 60....www.amazon.com/New-GM-268-Gloss-Meter-Glossmeter/dp/B00F986M3M/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&hvadid=78477750782938&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=gloss+meter&qid=1604161430&sr=8-7&tag=mh0b-20
@@apexdetail85 thank you!
So cerakote has the best results so far for plastics? Better than other dressings, coatings etc? Really am considering it
yes for sure
This detox is just 12-20 ipa and water in the formula. It is strong enough to ensure removal of waxes and sealants?
You dont want it any stronger. When I mix my own...it is 12 to 13%
@@apexdetail85 thanks sir
Why is the speed on the wrong side of polisher
I changed the handle and grip to my liking.
How do you like the tire dressing?
So far....so good.
That Vette must have been made in a different plant the the ones I have had in my shop, as every GM black vehicle I have worked on has been butter soft cleat coat
Vettes have hard to super hard clear coats almost all of the time
@@natebramlage55 guess I get the rare ones.
I have only had hard, stubborn Vettes here. And well into the hundreds. Must have been re sprayed
@@apexdetail85 going around the cars they averaged 175-185 micron which is pretty standard for American manufacturers factory paint. Not saying they couldn't have been painted, just stating that they where in the norm for factory paints.
@@urbanedgeautodetailing What type of paint depth gauge are you using to read paint on fiberglass (or smc material )?? I have a vette to do coming up but the meter I have only reads with ferrous metal or aluminum substrates. Can u attach a link to yours?
Have you tested the new formula of fussu soft99 wax yet. Is it as durable as the old formula
I found the old formula a bit better.
To polish, or finish, could you use 3d1 and a black pad?
Many variables.. Clear hardness, defect severity and/or how well the cutting finished, etc.. Just do your test spots. Up your pad aggression one step at a time until you get the result you're after. If it's too much cut, which is unlikely using an application pad, switch to a fine finish polish.
👍👌✌
@@jdisdetermined I cut already with urofiber 50/50 but still seems a tad hazy. 2003 GM clearcoat which I believe is stubborn. Just want to remove the hazyness.
You put the coating on the Red side of the applicator? So why is he using the Gray side? 😕
Really? You can’t use the same side all the way around the car. If you are using micro suede...swap out for new ones often. If using blocks such as these.. turn over to fresh side.
@@lifeofbrian9511 He just started applying it! 👀
I’m sure there is a lot of footage that gets filmed and then edited out.
Do you find the ethos detox to work better than the gyeon panel wipe?
About the same....effective.
Thanks I was wondering about it, I like ethos products. Good video too👍
