    Paint protection film (PPF, also called clear bra, clear film or clear paint film) is a thermoplastic urethane often self-healing film applied to painted surfaces of a new or used car in order to protect the paint from stone chips, bug splatters, and minor abrasions. This film is also used on airplanes, RVs, cell phones, electronics, screens, motorcycles, and many other areas.

    What other mistakes would you like to add to the list?

      use quality and CLEAN microfibers to remove residue / prep. Otherwise you scratch the surface you just polished. Also, always work out of the sunlight

      Time polishing per section. RUPES often talks about 1-minute to keep product at its best before diminishing

    How dare you put this content out for free and not charge me $300 for a video course!!! Kidding. Thank you Brian, you're always my go to for looking at products and techniques.

    Brian one important thing I’ve learned is organization. I’ve learned the hard way to have everything ready for what I’m about to do. Otherwise you waste time looking for stuff. Where did I put that brush. Where is my extension cord. Do I have enough supplies to finish the job. Great advice as always.

    It’s videos like this that made me wonder why you don’t have millions of viewers. This should be mandatory watching with a polisher purchase.

    I’ve been detailing for 5 years now I have learned most of my techniques from you Brain and I highly appreciate your videos. Nice refresher ( if that’s even a word) class. Thank you again.

    For some of us , it’s a gentle reminder , for some it’s invaluable information. Always a pleasure to watch your videos, informative and entertaining sometimes as well. Have always loved your no nonsense approach.
    Protecting the car with tape as well as tape on sharp edges as an extra precaution.

  • @kimnewling5728
    @kimnewling5728 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Good one, Brian. In my experience I've probably bought too much stuff. I find myself going back to what works for me and all the other stuff just sits there wasted. Can be expensive. That's why reviews are important for me. Thank you.

  • @randybecker7339

    Something I did when starting was not cleaning/changing the pad(s) and continued using the same one on 2 panels while adding more polish. Big mistake, and I had to try to see what I wasnt doing correctly. I was doing and learning all on my own and then figured out to replace/clean the pad per panel. I was 13 years old when that happened, practicing what I saw doing my uncle but forgot to take notes on all I saw from the paint shop.

  • @bigd9848
    @bigd9848 Před 3 měsíci

    Another excellent video for the video library Brian. I learned a word of knowledge from you and so can anyone else.They can watch your videos and practice on some panels from the body shop.That’s how I learned years ago.Great to have been involved in this channel for many years 💎👊🏼

    The ego part was spot on, very serious and on point, all of us probably did it more than once, doing much more than what it was paid for, chasing as better result as possible, in order to leave a better impression and to make sure that the client is happy...

    @neilwalker5041 Před 3 měsíci

    Great video and you gave us a lot of real tips. I have learned being in a good mood is very helpful for staying methodical. I have tried to speed up the polisher on really hard paint but looking back just grabbing the rotary with a wool pad would have been a better choice. As far as lighting I prefer to dark box too. Thank you for a video we all needed to hear.

  • @mikeanddebboyers6822
    @mikeanddebboyers6822 Před 3 měsíci

    There is a channel that has their own product line that constantly brings up that they use ZERO pressure and runs the polisher around one handed. I’ve never seen you do this.

  • @TDX3000
    @TDX3000 Před 3 měsíci

    I have polished my car seven times with three polishes but I have not been able to remove the holograms I put there - they have gotten so bad. I can’t polish anymore because I’m afraid of destroying the paint because it has very thin clear coat. So now I enjoy detailing through watching videos.

    • @darrenmetal3338
      @darrenmetal3338 Před 3 měsíci

      Which polisher did you use? DA or Gear driven? With both of them you can get the holograms out. Good luck if you give it another try

  • @rcrbrewster7840
    @rcrbrewster7840 Před měsícem

    Hey Brian ,
    Very informative video. I just started a detailing business and just placed a large order for products and a 5in DA polisher ( 9mm throw) and a 3 in polisher ( 8mm throw) from a company here in 🇨🇦 called Carzilla. Anyways I just wanted to ask if you've used any polishing compounds from Carpro and if so what's your opinion on them? The compounds I ordered were Carpro's Ultracut, Reflect & Essence with a mixture of Micro fiber pads and medium cut and finishing foam pads. I am hoping that those start me off in the right direction.
    Thanks for your videos 👍

    Awesome stuff as always man! Q: do I need an air compressor to blow out MF pads while polishing? Or will a brush work well enough to clean them?

  • @RustyCar

    Question please: Once clear coat is ‘melted’ (blurry, cloudy, etc.) can it be brought back to its original clear state?

    No panel prep needed if you’re using the NPS line of compounds/polishes. 👍🏻😁

  • @squirrelkilla7371

  • @Chitown388
    @Chitown388 Před 3 měsíci

    Are you saying that once a two-stage paint correction is done, that process should not be done again? What to do if the paint became swirly again after a couple of years?
