    The Junkman Present's "Paint Correction 101 for Novices to Machine Polishing."

    Hey boys and girls, long time no see! With that said, I created a video series on how to do paint correction using a machine for novices shortly after the last time I was here. Somehow, I never posted that video series over here. That was around 2012. Since then, that series has had over a million views. I accidentally deleted those videos from my Youtube channel but someone had saved them and sent them back to me. I combined all of those videos into one video and that is what this tread is all about.

    I would have never known that those videos were gone until a LOT of people started asking about them. I didn't realize how popular they still are given how old they are but after going through and editing annotations within them, I realized that the information contained within them is just as relevant today as it was back then. So I am going to post that video here for everyone to enjoy and partake in the knowledge being offered.

    If you have been apprehensive about putting a polisher on your paint, this video is definitely one you want to watch. I break this process down to grade school level and if you can't successfully fix your paint with a machine after watching this video, you never tried. I guarantee that you will have success if you do what I show in this video and the video will prove that too you. All you have to do is watch and take notes.

    There is no discount codes, special offers or product list associated with this video as there are A TON of different products that you can use to do what I do in this video. Some of you will have products sitting in your garages right now that will more than work. Some of you may have even purchased products that didn't work for you, despite praise from other folks. It could be the product or it might be YOU. This video is going to answer that question for you.

    So get your pen and paper ready, cook some popcorn and kick up your feet. The learning starts when you click the play button. 😉👍

    Honestly, the best time for me to do a correction is over a long holiday, usually that down time between Christmas and New Year or sometime around Easter. The weather is still cool, not much is going on, and I do it over a few days.

    This is why you should only have to do a full paint correction ONCE. Nobody has the time to be doing it 3-times a year. Plus, there are no clear coat fairies!

    I've ordered up a polisher, polish, pads, etc.

    Interestingly it seems hard to find the m105/205 here, seem to have been replaced with m110/210 ?

    Yes, the original products have been replaced with those two products but that doesn't matter because technique trumps product 24/7/365. So if you have thoroughly watched this video and actually understood what you watched, you can replace what I used in this video with ANY good compound and ANY good polish and get the same EXACT results.

    I applied some of your technique earlier today - just did the hood, it turned out well!

    I had the car resprayed in 2K about five years ago, but over a little time it went hazy and picked up the usual swirls. I probably need to put better wax on it.

    I started on the cutting compound but it was too aggressive and picking up the colour too fast, so I changed to the 205 and a suitable pad and that handled the hazing just fine. A few swirls left but nothing I care about.

    I've got several other cars I need to decide approaches on now ;) Some with clearcoat, some without, but, I feel the confidence / understand a little of what I'm doing now.

    Looks good. It appears that you've paid attention and the more you do it, the better you'll get at doing it. Eventually, you'll be busting out shines like cake.
