- Another busy day here at Clean Getaway Car Detailing.
We've got a few cars here ready to be collected,
just like this amazing Sandman here
that's been fully restored.
But we're working on a Hilux
that's getting a two-stage paint correction.
A Toyota Tundra, two stage paint correction.
Both are getting coated.
A new RAV4.
We're doing a few intense interior details today as well.
Team is super busy today,
and we're gonna take this outside.
It's finally getting picked up.
It's been fully restored by Jerry
at Totally Classic down the road.
We've done the finishing touches.
So the owner is now collecting it
and time to get it outside on the road.
So we've got the Hilux here behind us.
It's getting a two-stage paint correction, really swirled.
There's a lot of scratches.
It's been used.
It's a few years old and it just needs some love.
So, all three of us are working on it
to correct the paint work,
and then we're gonna get it coated, protected,
and we're gonna do a full interior detail on the inside
so the whole car looks pretty much brand new.
It's gonna be amazing.
So this car, because it's such a soft paint,
it's really hard to remove the residue
because the compound gets real gunky.
So we gotta use...
We can't go too aggressive on it.
It's got such a soft paint, so we really gotta use
the wide range of pads and compounds that we have.
We're putting a lot of fine scratches back into the paint
during the first stage of the paint correction.
So what we're gonna do after we do this,
it's real dusty from polish dust.
We're gonna snow foam it,
wash it once we've done the first stage,
and then we're gonna come back
and do the refining second stage.
This will be a lot easier, a lot cleaner.
That way we don't have to clean up all this polish dust
and it just gives it a much
better presentation at the end of the day.
We got a lovely 2006 model Mazda3 here.
Kyle is doing the intense interior detail on.
So, he's gonna be shampoo, extracting all the seats.
Come have a look.
He's gonna be Shampoo extracting all the seats.
Very thoroughly cleaning all the interior.
Then we also do a free exterior wash as well.
So, this is gonna really make the car feel fresh again.
It's not going to make it look brand new.
That's just gonna be impossible,
but it's gonna really bring it back to life
and make it feel a lot nicer for the owner.
So we got the Toyota Tundra in.
It's getting a bit of a customized service.
So we are doing a two stage paint correction
on the front cab area,
and we're doing a single stage paint correction on the rear.
Reason being is the owner is actually gonna be
getting rid of the tub pretty soon, he said.
And then after we've done all the correction work,
we're gonna be putting on the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra
and the EXO Hydrophobic coating.
So it has a double whammy.
It's just gonna really make this car come up super nice.
Bit different paint to the Hilux.
It's probably gonna be a bit more easy
'cause these are an American vehicle.
But it's huge, and that's what we've got a huge workshop
so we can take these big trucks.
So we're machine polishing the Toyota Tundra.
We just had to examine what the paint work's like.
It's pretty swirled.
It's not the worst car we've ever seen.
We've seen pretty bad cars, to be honest,
but it's very swirled.
It's about two years old.
The owner has just bought it off the previous owner.
So, we're doing the two stage paint correction
on this, on the front cab.
We're not having to use wool pads.
We're getting a tremendous result
with particular kinds of foam pads.
They're called spider pads.
So we're doing that,
and then we're gonna be doing
a single stage on the rear cab.
So, it's got a beautiful black metallic flake.
There is some American paint defects in the clear coat
that we won't be able to get out,
but the owner is well aware of that.
So, it's coming up amazing.
And once it's all done,
she'll be going in the coating bay to get coated.
(dubstep music)
Alright, so with all the polish dust
on this Hilux from doing the first stage,
it was very dusty due to the soft paint.
We're gonna be doing a snow foam right now
to really just loosen up the polish dust,
let it sit for about five minutes.
And then we'll wash it all down,
dry it down, to then let it drip dry
and be ready for the second stage of paint correction.
So we're using the Bowden's Own Snow Job,
and this is really gonna help get this done.
When we're rinsing down,
we're very purposeful with what we do.
We're trying to flush out all these jambs
where all the polish dust gets built up.
That's the whole purpose of doing this.
It's not to make us feel any better about ourselves
'cause it looks awesome, but we're being very purposeful.
So when we were talking about before,
when we do the two stage paint correction,
what happens is, because this paint work is so soft,
it scratches easily
and it gets heaps of swirls from the washing and drying,
using chamios's and sponges.
So when we do the two stage paint correction,
the first stage is very aggressive.
We try and get in there, remove the deep defects,
the deep swirls and whatnot.
But in that process, what happens is,
we actually end up marring the paint work,
putting like really fine swirls in the paint work ourselves.
So when you have a look under the actual LED,
you can actually see the hazing,
which is called marring.
The second stage of paint correction, we'll remove all that.
And then we'll really bring out that
beautiful metallic flake that it actually has.
And it's gonna remove all the hazing, all the marring.
And this is a really important step
that we see other people sometimes don't do.
We find generally panel beaters
or spray painters won't do that.
They'll buff it really aggressively to get deep defects out,
which is rightfully so.
But then they do not refine down.
And that's such an important step,
especially when we're gonna be
putting on the ceramic coating.
We wanna lock in that beautiful shine
so that it makes it really hard to get
swirls and scratches in the paint again.
So we've been doing the two stage
paint correction on this Hilux here,
and this has such soft paint, it's not funny.
It's literally not funny.
So, we've actually been trying multiple combinations
because we've been finding that
when we're machine polishing to refine it down,
there's still hazing left,
and it's proven really, really difficult.
So we've changed up machines and everything.
But we've actually found this product here,
the Bowden's Own Paint Cleanse and Restorer,
has been working wonders.
It's removing the marring.
We've been checking it over,
using alcohol to make sure it's not filling,
which the Bowden's company promises that it does not fill,
and they're true to what they're saying.
So it's really just removing that micro-marring
and the result is absolutely amazing,
compared to what we've been able to get.
So, thank you so much, Bowden's.
(bright energetic music)
So, prepping down the Hilux.
We use the Bowden's Own Flash Prep.
This is an IPA wipe down, very well lubricated.
This works perfectly to prep the cracks from occurring.
And then we're installing
the Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra Ceramic Coating
on all the paint work, the wheels, windscreen,
headlights, taillights, plastics.
Everything like that.
That's really gonna protect it
and really increase the gloss.
Awesome.
So it's been a massive afternoon.
We've still got a lot of work to go,
but we are about to start coating the Hilux behind me.
Then we got the RAV4 over there that Sam's working on.
That's also gonna be getting coated.
And also the big, black Tundra here as well.
So we're gonna get cracking, work into the night,
and we will catch you tomorrow morning.
Well, guys, we've done a bit of a blunder,
and I have accidentally recorded footage
over the top of these last shots
that we recorded of the cars the next morning.
They were awesome shots too, showing how nice the cars look.
So, that's what's happened.
Unfortunately, it sucks,
but I've learnt that lesson now
and I will not do that again.
So, so sorry for that.
But hey, I hope you enjoyed our video.
Thank you so much for watching,
and I hope you can really get an understanding
of how paint correction works and what it does for your car.
So tune in for more of our videos to come,
and please follow us on Facebook
and subscribe to our channel on YouTube as well.
We'll talk to you soon, guys.
Thank you so much.
