  • This video zero's in on soft, thin, black paintwork. I will show how to do a paint enhancement, One step correction, use an AIO, and Cut/Finish. I will also show different combinations you can use in each process. Soft clear removes quickly during the correction process. Much precaution should be taken. Choosing the right compound/pad/polisher is the best place to start!

    Had a very dear friend that was the paint and badly man at a Chevy dealership and in the late 70's early 80's there was a customer that had just purchased a new corvette and camaro, both were black. He wanted them repainted. My friend showed me how thin the factory paint was. Two swipes with sandpaper and you could see primer. Sorry to hear they are heading that way again.

    Great information as usual Brian! Can I ask how you would prep a previously coated vehicle for reapplication of a new coating? Would light polishing alone be enough to ensure the failing coating is removed or would you need something more aggressive like a one step? I am planning on coating one of my cars (it lives outside) with a 2 year coating and I wanted to know how you would handle the removal of the old coating after the 2 years.

    I think the term "polish" sometimes means something different to the professional than just the average Joe. I was talking to my neighbor the other day and he was "polishing" his truck. Those were his words. What he was actually doing was applying a sealant with his 6" orbital buffer.

    Brian is a master, but the bottom line is heat destroys paint and buffers create heat. I have professionally detailed cars since the 70s. Paint has changed tremendously. From trashed cars I worked on, the general idiot does not care about swirls, only that it has protection on it. I have a regular client with a Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Masersti. I never use a buffer on them. No swirls. Like Brian, I own a 70s Corvette. I never wash it. Just spray wax and a light polish. No swirls. No holograms and rhe paint is 25 years old.

    Wish you would have been cleaning those oils off post polish use as will happen in a few days or first wash or rain. You leave those filler oils and it's masking what the paint will a tally look like for 99.9% of its time. At least IPA spray and wipe down. Without a wipe this is all smoke and mirrors. It's also what really screws with novices. They think their correction looks great until a few days or wash later and then are WTF. No clue why.
