    I’ve been trying to do a paint correction for many weekends. Due to my job and more pressing matters, I only get a few hours each session. So far it’s been many sessions of trial and error. I started off very light. I used a $17 polisher with a terry cloth bonnet. Lol now that I know better. The Guy in Harbor Freight said it would be what I needed. Nothing changed. I then did a Hand application. I’m not strong enough for that ( 60 year old female) so I bought a DA polisher - nothing expensive. A Bauer. I watched more videos than I care to admit. My second attempt was using McGuires Ultimate compound with a polishing pad.
    I’m still afraid o cutting too deep. It helped but not by much. More videos for the next week until I get time off. 3rd attempt was McGuires ultimate compound with a green course foam pad. Better but nothing like I see in these videos. And I’m not chasing perfection. Either. I switched to turtle wax compound. Same results. Swirl marks still visible to the naked eye. I was getting nowhere fast. Now I have a haze on the car that I can’t get off. Many of us experience this but won’t admit it. I’m stuck. I’m scared to ruin the paint I had no choice and bought a gauge for paint on metal. I can’t keep guessing. 😂. My paint was reading 6-7 mil and a few spots, where I was having the most trouble, I got a reading over 9. Passenger side. Does that mean it was Repainted ? I’m guessing. I used Griots compound with a polishing pad Now I’m getting real results but knew I could get better. Tried one spot with Griots Compound and a compound pad. Ta Da!! Still could be better in some areas where the paint read higher. The DA has problems in that area of the car. It’s hopping and stops spinning. So annoying. It’s just a small area I did today - 1/2 the hood but now I know a good combo for my paint situation. I’d like to try McGuires 202 polish with a compounding pad on the trunk. Compare to using a polishing pad like it calls for and then decide how to proceed. Don’t know why McGuires has jumbo size bottles only. Not like I’m going to need it in the near future. I just need a small bottle.
    I did all the steps prior. Wash, clay, iron remover, etc. I even used the iron remover as a lube for the clay which really worked well. Wear gloves. I didn’t and got a chemical burn. And that’s my story.

      @MirandaDetailing  Před 4 lety +2

      @@philippeprince115 Good question...you only know once you start polishing. I always go with least aggressive method first like a polish and compounding pad for a one-step and see how the paint responds. If the paint looks good and the swirls are almost gone, then the paint is most likely soft and will correct easily. If its harder, you will need to step it up to a compound and more aggressive pads. The more you polish you will notice how it responds.

    My friend is letting me learn to polish with his Rupes Mark 3 LHR 15. I have the hardest time keeping the polisher from stalling. It spins really slow or not at all majority of the time. I’ve tried different angles, different pressure, different speed and it doesn’t help much. Would you please give me some advice on what I’m doing wrong? Do I need a smaller DA polisher or is my technique just bad? Your help would be appreciated!

    • @MirandaDetailing
      @MirandaDetailing  Před 4 lety

      Hi. What backing plate do you have on it? When the machine is off does the backing plate spin freely? Or does it seem to be hitting the shroud of the polisher?

    • @trd3786
      @trd3786 Před 4 lety +1

      Miranda Detailing Sorry still new to polishing but it looks like the shroud is barely touching the BP. The backing plate will spin but not like other polishers where you can spin it and it will just keep spinning on its own. I have to keep turning it manually by hand to have it spin. The best way to put it is it spins kind of like the force rotation Mille where you manually have to turn it to have it spin. Hope you understand and hopefully I’m making sense. Lol

    • @MirandaDetailing
      @MirandaDetailing  Před 4 lety +2

      Ah yes I see what you mean.
      Look up Buffydaddy.com. He is a master at polishing and he learned how to make a washer to raise the backing plate off the shroud. It’s called the Washer MOD. (Modification). It will change the way it spins and it won’t stall.

Was just wondering which you suggest? I’m willing to purchase the backing plate if you feel that is the better solution. Thanks again!

    • @MirandaDetailing

      They are very similar. Yeah that the challenge, you have to balance what youre charging and able to deliver without going overboard. Detailers have to let go of our ego sometimes and realize that customers don't see what we see. as long as you get it about 50% or so they will be happy. Of course you have to tell the the customer that's what a one step or enhancement is, that way they understand what they are paying for and what to expect.

    I have a brand new Blazer that unfortunately has some water spots on the black pillars between the windows,especially on the driver side. I have worked on 1 of them and it looks like I got rid of the minerals, but I can clearly see the shape of the water spots etched into the clear coat.
    I currently have a 8mm throw Harbor Freight DA with 6 inch Rupes yellow pads and Sonax perfect finish. I have went over it about 10-12 times with this combo and it doesn't seem to be changing.
    What would you suggest? I am new to polishing, so a little gunshy with the aggressive stuff and really don't want to spend the money on anything that isn't necessary. This area is pretty thin, about 3 inches. I think I would probably be better off buying a 3 inch backing plate for my polisher. When I have been taping off my rubber time I am covering the very edge of the paint so that I am not constantly polishing over a corner in the metal. I don't want to wear that area too thin and have a chance of burning through.
    I have considered paying someone to do it, but I know I could buy the items I need much cheaper. I have an old Trailblazer that I am not too worried about messing up that has a similar shaped area that I could practice on beforehand.
    Thanks

    • @MirandaDetailing
      @MirandaDetailing  Před rokem

      Hi. Those Waterspot etchings can be a challenge especially on those pillars. You can step it up to a slightly more aggressive polish or use the perfect finish with a microfiber disc and do a few passes then use the yellow foam to finish down. Water etching usually takes a microfiber disc to remover completely. Just time your time and do a few slow passes at a time and check your work. Let me know how it goes

      Hi. Good question. It’s a tough one to answer without knowing how thick the clear coat is.

So just ball park average for a newer car with factory clearcoat I would go beyond 2 or 3 full paint corrections.

    Great video & information for beginners man. May i ask.... I can't get hold of Lake Country pads in my area... Is STPA pads good? And does Ultracut by Carpro sufficient for a 1 step compound on a medium to light defects? Thanks brother, your videos ade always genuine & realistic especially for daily drivers.

      Hi. The spta pads are petty good also. I haven't used Ultravut by carpro. But carpro essence is amazing

    • @MirandaDetailing
      @MirandaDetailing  Před 2 lety +2

      It’s possible, but you will find the pad will become ineffective if over used. We usually use at least 2-3 pads per vehicle.

    Hi Phil..Hope all is well ?! I want to polish my B-Pilars as well as the rest of the trimming which is basically in the same material. Which pad (foam or microfiber) (5" and 1" or very small one) combination of polish would you recommend to do this job ? I once saw you and Brian from APEX saying that URO-FIBER + 3D ONE was a great combo ? Correct ?
    Awaiting your reply.
    Thx in advance

      HI. Check out this video that we did a while ago on B-Pillars. czcams.com/video/lSj9M6C7FWM/video.html
      They can be a pain to finish out, I would use a microfiber or uro fiber pad to finish on them, you can compound with them but they need softer foams to finish out.

    How does the M110 with a MFC pad compare to D300with a MFC pad? Which might be better?

    • @MirandaDetailing
      @MirandaDetailing  Před 4 lety +2

      They both prefor very well but M110 has way more cut and does leave a little marring behind. With D300 it leaves a little nicer finish. But it all depends on how soft or hard the paint is.

      Kyle Fonrose I would go with Essence and a medium polishing pad like Lake Country White or something equally as good. It will removing marring and like you said lay a base foundation for the coating. You only need to do a very light wipe down with Eraser after that then coat it.
