 Hi, my name is Patrick, and I know nothing about car care notice the change in lighting It's got a bit moody it does. This is how I have it all the time all the time all the time Yeah, well this is because this is a detailing 101 how to compound your car using the ultimate Compound so this is a video. I've really been looking forward to making I know you've been looking forward to making because we're excited to see the change that this has exactly This is my favorite part of any detail, you know a lot of people It's the waxing or the detailing down on the finishing bit. It's the hard work It's the clean in the prep. Yeah, now we've done half of that by claim the surface Yeah, so we've not addressed any of this oil and scratches We've addressed how the paint feels so it's nice and smooth which then means we've got a nice flat surface For us to compact absolutely if you haven't seen that video then go and check it out I'll leave a little link somewhere in the description or it can pop up somewhere here probably link to the description best anyway Yeah, we're really covering on here is the basics and again if you are well into your detailing and you know the basics of car care Maybe it's not the video for you But if you are new to this you're new to my guise new to our process and products This can be a great introduction to our different shampoos different processes a little things like two bucket method and grit guards The reason this is such a hero product One is a consumer product. It's not a pro product. So anyone can get this and use it to It's just a it's a complete swath layer That's because as the micro abrasives in it to not only hit the swaths and scratches to put to refine the paint as well Okay So that means that as you're using it, you know, you're not just kind of hammering it with a compound the polishing oils in this I'm gonna give it that gloss Wow The phones I'm silent so welcome back as well as well as well as being as a reviver It's also a refiner as well So like say we are gonna be addressing this wasn't scratches, but if you have faded paint So if you have a car that's you know, you know was red and now is now pink or yellow or anything like that If you have a very tired paint and very faded this has paint cleaners in to revive that as well Right, so it's gonna remove stains as well if you've got bird, you know bird etching from bird lime residue. Oh crap But I just don't like saying it but but so if you have like stains that have eaten into the click oh This is when you use a mechanical cleaner. Okay now I'm the this car has not had this ever like the swells on this are mental and we'll show you what I mean by Swirls and scratches it's quite simple, but we are gonna show you that so without further ado I'm so excited for this welcome back to detailing one on one welcome back to how to remove your swirls and scratches Don't do I not okay when we talk about swirls and scratches What do you actually mean? How are they formed? How they created so they can be formed in many different ways It could be someone physically scratching the paint you know Using something that contaminates so if you've got a bit of grit or stone or grime in your clock and you're walking it down That's gonna scratch the paint, but they also just happen over time Just over wash techniques now some people refer to them as kind of love marks for the paint because you wipe the car down so much You're you're constantly rubbing against the clear coat and that's scuffing it and marking it Like I say it could be you know you leave in the car outside and a cat walks all over the paint That's gonna cause scratches and swirls because it's a sharp object Running across the paint right so it's a bit of a weird thing so they are subsurface defects That's what they are so if you're in fact your paint a scratch in swirl is something that's eaten into the surface of the paint Now you want to bring everything to the same level to make sure that they're gone now I can clearly see that like there's a lot of a Lot of scratches on the bonnet especially over here as well There's real swirly marks over here on the roof as well. There's some pretty bad ones What is actually is there's scratches and scratches and marks going every way possible But the way the light hits it gives it the appearance so whenever people say we should never apply wax in circular motions or wax It doesn't matter fine. Right. Well, I think we should Do the first thing which is I don't know. What's the first thing? We've evaluated the surface now. It's choosing the right product So like I said with a value to surface and we've also done a test panel and using our MT320 and various pads So we have like to go to would normally say try the yellow polishing pad because you don't always start with the most aggressive Okay, so what in terms of aggression, which is what so the most aggressive? One of my sufficient removing scrubs and scratches is your cutting pad Okay, and then the kind of medium ground is our more refining yellow polishing. Okay now Normally, we would start with the yellow pad. Yeah, we have done We found it wasn't as efficient as removing the scratching swirls as the red one was so that's why we're going to Drain delt straight into using that one perfect. So if you've never used a Machine polisher before that's okay because I'm very new to this I think I've used one once and I wasn't very good. So this is going to be again a new learning process for me and for you What's great about the ultimate compound is that you can actually use it by hand applying stuff So if you get a microfighter pad apply the compound onto it. It's the same process just with your hand But obviously for this car Descriptions was it's quite bad. So we are going to use the machine But it's not a complicated process. It might be scary, but it's not going to be or what Dell has assured me It's not going to be scary. Definitely. So that's what we're going to do We're going to use the machine today But I just wanted to let you know that you can use hand applicator pad as well So apply the ultimate compound and help remove the scratches and swirls now The only damage you'll ever do a machine polisher, especially ours is by dropping it on the paint using a DA machine Means using less speed and less pressure Okay, means you can take your time with a paint the slower you go the quicker it gets done I know it sounds quite strange, but we'll put into practice and you can see exactly what I mean before doing anything My little trick with these pads is if you feel that Patrick, it's quite hard, isn't it? Yes. Yeah. Yeah I'll say it's pretty pretty for hard. So what I do before I do anything It's kind of tear it up. Oh, wow. Yeah So what this does? It softens the poor kind of opens the pores up of the pad. Yeah, which means it doesn't dramatically change it But you'll see. Oh, yeah, but it makes it a bit more porous means it's going to absorb more product Absolutely. Yeah, nice and center on the machine. Yeah Okay, so as you can see I put a fair bit of products on there But what I do, you know how I primed the even coat pad? Yes. I'm doing exactly the same with this So what this is doing is keeping the pad cool and lubricated, which means you can do longer buffing cycles and We're all tempted sometimes just to put a cross on there or like some dots on their own But what you have is a lot of exposed fibers rubbing on your paintwork this way You're not actually exposing any of the Exactly that. So the bare pad to the paint. Exactly that. Everything's nice and lubricated, which means we've constantly Got product Working the surface. Yeah We only ever do this once per panel or per section I like to use five little dots, okay P-sized dots like that. Is that all you need? All you need per section So as you can see, I've got the cable over my shoulder. Yep This way keeps it away from the paintwork. Never give yourself too much to do So if you were looking at this bonnet now, yeah, I'd probably break this center bit down into four sections Okay, like that and then I'll do these in two. So we're just going to work on the kind of this square I'm just going to work here. Perfect. Yeah, so this is how I personally do it You don't have to do like this, but this is just showing you how I like to do it Okay, I like to mark out my surface area like this. Yeah, and then You know how we've been priming the pads? Yeah, I now want to prime the surface So I'm going to set the speed to the slowest on the machine. Okay, I'm just going to spread the product When you say slowest on the machine, what does that actually mean? So it's OPM Oscillations per minute. So the slowest speed on this machine is three. Okay, or 30 and then it goes way up 75 look So as we've primed the pad we've now primed the surface this means everywhere has an equal share of product Yeah, so you see we have swirl and defect removal here. Yeah four eight to five eight so I'm gonna go Flat bang in the middle of those. This is my kind of go-to speed for swirl removal. Yeah, okay I'm what we're going to do next and I know you've heard this a million times Patrick But we're going to go up and down And left and right exactly what we've been doing with the other process Yeah, so this is why I like to call the hashtag polishing now We've been doing this when wiping detail off on claying. It's just a nice regime to get into this hand is my balance That's making sure that this pad is always flat on the surface. Okay This means you won't get zigzag lines or traces on the paint. Yeah, this hand is my guide This is telling the machine where to go. Right. Yeah, and at no point am I Adding any additional pressure just a weight of that. Yeah, if you feel that it's pretty heavy machines, right? Yeah, so that's all you need golden rule You know don't don't need to like hold on for dear life. You know just nice and relaxed because they're dead exactly Because it is a dual action polisher It's got two movements going at the same time. So you are going to feel that vibration Yeah, now I've been doing it for too long and I'm dead inside so I don't feel it But doing it for the first time people hold on really tight Yeah, and they feel that vibration all the way through their arms So the more relaxed you are the easier it is to get done. Cool Now see I want to be going about an inch per second Very slow the slower you go the faster it gets done Nice one So you'll notice that whenever starting and stopping the machine always do it on the panel because We don't want to be throwing products everywhere. You've already done a job of cleaning the car You don't want to cost me chasing products everywhere. Yeah, absolutely. Cheeky tip number one prime the pad So that the pads got an even coat everywhere and also the paint then gets an even coat cheeky tip number two Always start and stop the machine on the panel cheeky number tip three is prime the paint So that everywhere on the paint that you're working gets a fair share of the product and cheeky tip number four Always listen to Dale always listen to Dale. That's the ones. Oh Oh my god So that's just one pass Now can you do that more than once? Yep, because it's micro abrasive It means we if you're not happy after the first pass means after the second and third you will see an improvement. That is unbelievable How good does that look Dale? Yeah, let's kill her now Thing with compound is Sometimes if you're working a surface you can get a bit of compound haze That's perfectly fine. Don't be worried if it's left a bit of a cloud That's when we move on to our next step, which is the polishing which is the refining So revive the paint then refine it. So don't worry about if you see hazing after compounding. Yeah, it's perfectly normal So you say stamp out where you want to work correct one two one Six and then slowest speed correct. Yep, and just spread the product. Nice and quick Yeah Making sure I stopped it on the uh panel then You go in between four eight and five eight And the same process up and down left and right. Yeah, correct Even spread now if you make a tiny adjustment see how it stops spinning. Yeah So keeping that nice and flat you can see the white lines Constantly spinning Switch sides and bust it away Oh It looks so good So like you said there is some haze enough, but you said the polishing can just completely The polish is going to refine that. Yeah, but you can definitely see that all the swirls around there Are definitely reduced and almost gone can entirely in the bit that we've just done I look so good. That was awesome. Definitely wasn't on my phone Definitely weren't on your phone Dale. You're supposed to be teaching me here So you can really see the reduction of the swirls and scratches. They're not completely gone, but like I said, this car is It's diabolical in terms of that. So Right, let's do The rest of the car. It's exciting. I like it and we'll show the finished product afterwards For the purpose of video We're going to show you mainly the bonnet if we were to do the whole car I've done the roof and a couple of bits that I wanted to try and get done as well But to do the whole car we'd have been here for absolutely hours. We've got other videos to film But Dale has worked his magic on the bonnet and it's it's a different it actually looks like a different color Yeah, so what what happens is when you remove those scratches and swirls Scratching swirls because it's marks on a clear coat will naturally gray a color Um, so if you look on the wings, well, we've not touched you'll notice that it looks like a different shape Looks like it's been painted differently Yeah, what you're doing and the easiest way of kind of explaining it is that you know when you go from standard definition to high definition Yeah, it's like it's exactly what we're doing with your paint. So like I said, we're taking that grayness out We're allowing to that fleck to really pop and come through the paint so you get the real true magnification Here's the mega difference like that looks kind of gray matty This really magnifies the flake in the paint. Oh, awesome It's very difficult to see inside Or like through the camera, but to the natural eye it's it's a completely different color Like completely different all the swirls that were there that were visible and now not visible It's got a lot of scratches on it. That's my own problem. I need to fix and get painted sorted out But anyway, if you enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up.
