A GUIDE TO RESTORING CAR PAINT- (paint decontamination, paint correction & paint protection)

The fact this man isn't selling us on a product but on skill, that's so satisfying!

This video was so satisfying! Makes me want to polish my car at 3 in the morning!!!

My passion for detailing and polishing started with this video 3 years ago. Now i'm at a professional level with both rotary and DA polishing and ceramic coatings.

The cost of polishes and details is making a lot more sense now...

"Let's focus on technique, rather than brands of products used"
FINALLY!
Excellent video. Thank you for all of your details added in the captions. Excellent results.

This has to be one of the most clear and easy to follow detailing videos I've seen on KRplus and I've seen a lot. I'd say one of the best.

I've watched a few hundred hours of car-detailing vids at this point and this has been one of the best I've seen yet. The swirl scratches on this panel were absolutely brutal. I can't even imagine what was done to it to reach that state.

The 2 bucket method really works. The amount of dirt in the bottom of the rinse bucket is a LOT more than the wash bucket. I was made to feel stupid the other day when commenting on a diydetail video just because they like to promote their own method and say that the 2 bucket method is dead. It was quite disappointing really because I've always been a fan of Yvan lacroix and spoke highly of him. He also said it was odd to use a separate towel for your wheels, I mean why not if I have a old towel spare. Unless you are doing a wheels-off clean there is not way you're getting 100% of the dirt off and I'd rather not contaminate my main towels. Anyway, keep up the good work and stay true. Thanks for the quality video

Very informative video,75yrs old,and I'm still learning,thank you 👍👍,keep them coming.

That's lovely. I've been detailing for a few years now and must have watched at least 500 videos, it's so refreshing to watch one that is honest, accurate, straightforward and a joy to watch. This is one I will return to before every correction I do just to make sure I stay on track - well done mate 👍👍

I was a facilitator and presenter of many programs and learning courses including public speaking before retirement. This video is more like a major epic production with outstanding clarity and accuracy. It truly is a credit to you and most of all, a very helpful platform for the novice detailer. Thank you for your time and effort it is most appreciated.

Sandro your time and your input to explain car detailing is next level, it's like attending a university class. You are super awesome in your profession and always enjoy your content. Keep growing. Love from Adelaide

19:30 is a really cool shot, it demonstrates how water beads up and runs off on a very smooth surface but on the scratched up side it sticks

Thank you!! I’m very young and just starting in the detailing business but so far I’ve only been able to offer interior detailing because I felt as if I needed to understand paint better, and just didn’t feel comfortable with the other videos I’ve watched. This video has been the best overall by far and it gave me the idea to go to the junkyard and getting some panels to practice on (I don’t know how I didn’t think of this sooner) so I can get some actual experience before trying and possibly ruining my cars paint or worse a customers.

Car detailers on KRplus take notes this is how to make a presentation resonate with viewers!! Great job 👍

3 years running this is still the absolute best polishing tutorial video on youtube

Only video where guy explained what technique and what polisher speed to use with certain compound.

I own a black Audi A4 (B5) in a harsh environment (hot, dry and dusty) and it always looks a mess. Videos like this inspire me that a higher standard of paint finish with protection is the answer.

I’d like to add simply that after all my slow researching over months…this video has simplified so perfectly all that overload of information scrambling around my mind. Rarely have I seen anything as to the point, clear and concise for the newbie like myself. Tremendous Thank you!😊🚗😊

I kept thinking wow, this is perfect, it can’t get any better. And then again and again I was wrong and it got even better every time. A true masterpiece !

Just goes to show that prep is everything. Love the fact that for once you can actually see the difference between a proper decontamination and just a wash. Sweet job well done 👍

Now back to some real detailing back to a real teacher. Thank you Brother from another mother. Have learned a lot. Best tips I’ve seen on KRplus.

You know what they say. You get what you pay for! This level of quality and expertise is worth paying for!! The time and money you spend on DYI, sometimes you don't even brake even. At time it's "BEST" to leave it to the pros!!

I find that when someone explains the reasoning, instead of just telling us the answer, is the best teaching method. I love how you explain that there are many levels of compounds to choose from. Good video👍🏻

Beginning to understand the "why" of this stuff, not just the "what" and "how". Really helpful and well presented video!

Without a doubt the best paint restoring video I've seen on YT.

By far the best detailing video on KRplus. Period!
The dislikes are just haters ✌️

Best video on youtube, to the point, no lectures or personal stories. Great job!!! SUBSCRIBED

I think at least 50% from what i know about polishing i learned from you Sandro, thank you so much!!! If you ever come to Bucharest, i owe you few beers at least.

Same as the guy below, I have watched hundreds of detailing videos and this is the BEST. Right to the point and well explained.

One of the best, if not the best video on YT for bringing paint back from the dead.

I haven't watched ALL of your videos Sandro, but I'll go on record to say this one might be your best. The ***quality*** of information you impart, and the way it's presented, is absolutely brilliant. You break each stage down, explaining WHY each process is important, and then present that information superbly. The end result, of course, speaks for itself...but it's the knowing why is the most important.

Best vid on decontamination and correction I have watched - I'll be doing this tomorrow. Thanks.

Can't for the life of me understand the thumbs down. Informative, laid back and very well planned out. Thank you for the education!

This man deserves a Nobel peace prize for how simply and clearly he explained this process. Then add in the fact that he never once plugged a single product during the whole 20 min long video, and I now trust him more than my own father.

This makes me want to buy an old car and make it look new again

You make me want to detail my car on my own! Also love how clearly you speak as an Aussie!

Wow, fantastic. I love to see people that don't take shortcuts...people that use knowledge and skill to get a job done. Kudos my friend.

Hands down the best paint correction tutorial on KRplus... thank you for this and I will purchase a few of these products as well 👍

Just superb. From the work performed on the panel to the video's production. My favorite aspect was your emphasis on technique over product. Thanks for making this!

Dear Professor !
One More OUSTAND Video !
I’m Passing Them Out To My “Weekend Warriors” Friends and They Are Apprecianting Them Very Much !
Thank You Very Much !
Best Regards !

Great videos, thank you for taking the mistory out of detailing . It's so satisfying to watch a professional tradesman achieve professional results. Especially a straight talking man with no bull , well done and thank you again .

I've watched SO many of these kinds of videos and this one is by far my favorite. At first, I thought this was going to be another product commercial disguised as a how-to video, made to sell as much product as possible. You did use a lot of product, but you clearly explained the purpose of each one, and more importantly, showed the results until you got the right combination. Then you explain why it was the combination and backed it up with clear results. - I don't mind spending money on product as long as I know exactly why I'm buying it and how to use it. Thanks!

Watched your video and saved to car detailing file. Noticed that in my car detailing file was few other videos. So checked and no surprise other 2 videos was yours.
You are good teacher. Thanks

Probably the most explicit video on KRplus!thanks for that!
Amazing info!and results!
Totally recommend for beginners!
Thanks a lot for the time and the effort!
Much much apreciate it!

We all watch videos like this. It’s like we’re downloading the knowledge into our brains so we can gain these skills. I will definitely be polishing some cars thank you.

Great tutorial vid, what's even more impressive is when scrolling through all comments , you have liked almost every single one of them 👏

This is such a clear video to understand. Brilliant Sandro.
Keep up the good work

The single best guide to quickly, clearly and comprehensively learning the start to end process of maintaining car paint.
Fantastic. 10/10.
Thank you so much Sandro!

I *really* like the pacing of the voice over and the interludes of the music with the demo. Too many KRplusrs just machine-gun you to death with jump-cuts and non-stop monologue.

Finally a pro! im so sick of people who claim they are experts but dont know the basics.. Great job! i will use this video as a guide in the future when iam polishing up my car.

Wow. This helped me so much and was one of the most well explained detailing videos I've watched! Thank you

I agree with many of the other comments. This is by far the best video I've seen in detailing and restoring the paint on your vehicle.

An absolute masterclass on what to do. Even a chimp could follow these instructions. Brilliant video. Thanks

PROCESS instead of products!! Thank you so much. BEST tutorial on YT!!

I never knew one could restore paint to that level. If my paint looked like that I would’ve went straight to a paint job but now I see it’s not Necessary

Your attention to detail, patience, enthusiasm, energy and passion about what you do is most commendable indeed. May you grow from strength to strength and justifiably so. Thank you so much for sharing. Dave from South Africa

You really brought that paint back to life!!!

You’re a great teacher. Thank you.

I’ve heard tutorials from dozens of detailers, and you’ve nailed it.

This is a fantastic video. Out of all tutorials, teaching methods, on really any subject. This had me most informed and thinking I could do it afterwards. You're a great teacher!!

WOW ! Unbelievable, you sir have made by far the best video I have ever seen in many years of watching KRplus videos on detailing

This is an excellent guide to paint restoration, thank you. Those who’ve disliked this video must be competitors who can’t produce such an easy to follow process.

Hands down most informative video! You took every other detailer down. Thank you for your time good sir! 🙏😎

Very detailed and easy to follow. As a person completely inexperienced in auto care of any sort, I have no questions after watching this!

The best lecture for car paint maintenance ever. Thanks so much from Hong Kong !

oh wow. appear on my recommended video... what a show!! 100/10

Fantastic, I have a new car with very good paint, but I want to buff it up to a higher level of detail. It shouldn't need much correction. Love these tips.

Lighting, dialog, camera work/quality, speed, music, all phenomenal. Thanks!

If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't believe this wasn't some sort of sorcery! Amazing.

Amazing transformation! Hard to believe there was still beautiful paint under all of that neglect.

Best and most informative basic polishing video ive ever seen!

This is by far theee best video I seen on Decontamination, Correction, and Protect. I do admit I was lost on the Decontamination part.

This was a breeze to follow for someone in the process of learning, perfect step by step guide and explanations and I loved how you explained the reasoning for each step as well 💪🏼💪🏼

I have a black car and have been scared to machine polish it but after watching this video has taught me much more than I’ve known, thanks dude🤙 #1 detailing video, you scored another sub! 👍👍

This is exactly show what needs to be done, with great results on a faded panel. Thanks bro

THE BEST VIDEO NO PRODUCT SELLING NO CONFUTION HATS OFF TO YOU

Thank you. No annoying music. Relaxed approach easy to listen to easy to watch. Enjoyed the experience and learned from it.

This is by far the best video and explanation I have ever seen!! Thank you!! Now I can step my game up!

Well no disrespect to the other detailers I have watched but I can feel confident in saying who I will be watching more to learn the technique side of the industry. Thanks for the very informative video.

This is the type of video that gives you confidence that you can do it. Thumbs up for this one!

This is the most informative and helpful video on KRplus period.

Man the work you have done for this video is amazing the hood is just so beautiful

900 thumbs down damn there are some butt hurt people out there, this is by far the best car detailing video, it was amazing dude keep up the good work 👍

I've watched this video at least 4 times now. It is the most helpful and informative video on detailing I have seen. Thank you for this

Exactly yesterday ordered everything for paint correction. Wanted to do it straight on my car but after seeing this video makes me visit my local car workshop & ask for some no need car panel for practicing first!

You Sr. Are a god ! A god of detaining!!!! Amazing professional technique

Unbelievable Sandro! I didn't even realise it was metallic at first! 😂 Super video 👍

Absolutely outstanding result. Such a clear and precise video without any extra fluff. Any enthusiast should just watch this video.

I've watched a lot of of videos on this topic. This really has been the clearest and best at really explaining the steps and reasons for them. Thanks.

Extremely well produced. Informative with detail to give understanding and theory behind what your doing. Steps make it easy to follow and relaxed feeling. Bravo.

Awesome Video, no gimmicks or tricks , just get to work, glad it was not long and drawn out but nice and to the point. Kudos!

You are the man! This video is the closest thing to perfection in teaching us how to restore our paint. Appreciate the help, its really made my car look better

This is probably the best tutorial on paint correction I have ever seen on youtube. Keep um comin guys. Thanks

I’m going to start my own detailing business and paint correction was the only thing I was unsure on how to do. This video was extremely helpful and resourceful in showing the steps on how it’s done, I will be practising from now on thank you!

The best video I have seen by far. Great detail.

Incredible video, honestly I was really waiting for you to wash the other half so you can actually see the real difference this makes, hands down very impressive, I’d take my car to you in a heartbeat

Probably the best video I’ve seen in detailing. Looks doable but will take time. Thanks for an awesome video.

After enjoying all the video, I realized at the end I don't own a car
