Why bother claying the car if you're just going to compound it anyway? You're still moving around the debris stuck to the paint with a clay bar no differently than when you compound it.
The clay thing is gonna become one of those remember-when BS things.

great video! Helpfull and easy to understand! Subscribed!

Thanks for the video. I don’t think I will bother trying after watching this! Too much effort for this weekend detailer!!

Is it necessary to wash off the detailer spray with a hose after the clay bar treatment (i.e. before you start polishing)?

I've learned polishing before applying wax goes even further. There's something scary about compounding and just throwing on a layer of wax.

About how long does it take you to clay bar the whole car

My car bumper was scratched recently when someone was trying to park their car. There are some spots with scratches(some can feel by finger) and scuffs(matte areas). Have no experience and don't really want to sand the area down. Do you think a rubbing compounds can help at least to a degree?

You should put together a kit for amateur/weekend warriors to buy with the best products you like to clean their cars

I wouldn’t say it’ll take “literally all day” more like 3 hours which for a 150$ detail is 50$ an hour and honestly less work than slinging concrete bags

super helpful thanks

As my Wife told me " circular motions only " 😊

Biggest thing really is to pace yourself, don’t rush

Between clay and compound, should you wash any of the clay residue off?

Jesus seems very complicated

Nice vid! have you done the Rupes uno vid? I couldn't see and would love to :)

Loved it.

I knew by the thumbnail you had an accent.

cool!

tq. i will do panel by panel

Wow that fiat bonnet was shining better than a Bentleys paint job

Ineed 1 towel good

Honest and straight to the point. Thank you.

Machine polishing is amazing it's scary at first but once you get a bit of practice and the confidence it's enjoyable and looks so good compared to doing it by hand which is so much more labour intensive 👍🕶💎❤

should I use a ceramic spray sealant or wax?

Do you do a panel at a time? I mean do you clay bar the whole car then polish the whole car ?

Helpful tip. Just do a few panels each day. No requirement to do it all at once.

Thank you for your nice, simple and honest tutorial.

I needed up causing marring/holograms around the whole car 💀 it’s a black car too

Thank you for mentioning that hand waxing takes forever and will leave you with a sore shoulder. Last time I waxed my car I thought i was doing something wrong when it took me an hour and a half to wax my whole car lol. And my shoulder was definitely sore. Glad to know that's normal and not me effing up lol.

hi dave great video nice weather for the weekend ,, got myself a meguiars clay kit with one clay bar to try .. plus i use autobrite chocolate glaze polish then bought a bottle of car pro elixir high gloss detailer , at the minute i have no confidence in machine polishing but alot of confidence in what you call elbow Greece by hand with hand pads ..thanks for your great tips always

Does this get out the scratches and minor imperfections as well?? Thank you

hi , do yo have to clean the car with shampoo or alcohol after the claybar ?
and, if i compound + polish , i have to clean the surface before aply any paste wax on it ? with alcohol or similar ? or is not necessary ?

THANK YOU!!! Fast, no-BS tutorial.

Hello, I really hope you still respond to comments on this video🤞🏼instead of using an applicator pad like you showed in the video, would it also work with a small micro fibre towel? I have some swirls on my front trunk I would like to have removed (not a whole lot as the car got polished by professionals last year)
Also, do you put wax on before the ceramic coat or is wax not needed if you’re putting ceramic coating on?

Best regards

Hi, I recently painted a panel on my car and I'll be wet sanding the clear coat (up to 3,000 grit) to reduce orange peel. Is it ok to then polish the sanded clear coat by hand? I was thinking of using McGuire's ultimate for it.
Thanks for any help 🙂

Instead of using ceramic coat can I use meguiar's carnauba

In a strong English accent “it starts raining”

I have very light swirling, mostly from hand washing and drying. I don't have access to a machine right now so I have to correct the car by hand. The question is polish or compound? I'm thinking a light polish since the paint is already in very good shape.

Can I polish without using the clay bar. As I do have one but it want be enough for the whole car.

Some nice advice

Can i do polish in direct 🌞

Can u do this with single stage?. I tried with silver metallic spray can & it dulled the paint
