hey guys welcome back to the channel so today we're going to be detailing the is300
i haven't detailed this car ever since i bought it two years ago so today we're going to be putting
some iron remover onto the paint to remove all the contaminants and we're going to clean that
off after we clean off the contaminants and the iron on the paint we're gonna clay bar using
this clay mitt and then i'm gonna compound it and polish it after i'm done with that
so the atoms polishes iron remover is very similar to the iron x stuff that's more expensive used by
professionals this is also used by professionals i read some reviews and this does the same exact
thing it's just a little bit cheaper than the iron x so i figured i'd try it out so the clay mitt
i've been using this for a couple years now i bought it two years ago when i was doing the
van and the is i like using this clay mitt much better than traditional clay just because it's
easier to use quicker because you have a larger service area last time i used it on the van it was
much more enjoyable doing that versus traditional clay bar you guys want to use the same stuff or
any of these products there's links down in the description to amazon if you want to buy this
stuff too so i haven't detailed this car ever since i bought it two years ago you can see the
paint is just gone on here i should have protected it when i got it two years ago that way it would
have been less work but i was just putting it off because i had all these other projects to do
to use this stuff you want to make sure your paint is clean i washed this thing off already yesterday
so everything is clean you want to use it in the shade or when it's outside of direct sunlight and
all you do is just spray it onto the paint let it sit for like three to five minutes you'll
see it's starting to work when you see it working it turns actually pink and purple and reddish as
the chemicals react to the contaminants and the metals and iron on the paint we just go ahead
and spray one or two panels at a time because you want to clean one or two panels at a time
so we'll let it sit for three to five minutes we'll come back and check what it looks like
very hard to tell on this color but you can see there's some discoloration kind of a purplish tint
and a reddish copper tint that is changing to so that's a good sign because that shows that the
chemical reactions are working this stuff is ph balanced so you don't have to worry
about it messing up your paint or anything and it's going to dissolve chemically all
the contaminants on your paint including any kind of bugs and stuff you can see it's all
soaking in and working right now what you want to do after this is you want to use like a sponge
i'm using this chemical guys sponge thing right here i'm going to wipe it down and
i'm just going to kind of spread this stuff all over the paint and let it work its magic
even deeper and then after that i'm going to clean it off i'm going to use a spray detail
to clean it off just to see how it turns out and then we'll go start the clay bar after that
um
all right so we're gonna go start claying it now so i'm gonna get the pad out
i'm gonna get my spray detailer i didn't wipe the car down from the water because
that water is gonna act as a lubricant anyways i'll use less spray detailer but
go ahead and just scrub that across the surface to get all the crap off of there
so we got everything clay barred the paint is nice and smooth now
it's going to remove all the contaminants but if you have imperfections in your paint like
all these spots here from the clear coat it's not going to work wonders but it will clean off
all the contaminants your paint will feel nice and smooth i've got a glove on here and it just
flows right across i don't feel any granular or anything in the clear so i'm going to go ahead
and buff the paint now hopefully it gets a little bit shiny i do have a lot of imperfections in the
clear coat like right there it's got a little bit of a cancer that's growing right there
and then up here on the quarter panels it's a little bit more of a cancer growing and this is
my neglect from not coating this car and cleaning it two years ago when i got it it wasn't as bad
back then these things were already there but just the cancer that's growing wasn't there
as you can see the compound is working pretty well i'm getting a lot of the imperfections out
this is only step one of three i'm gonna go ahead and just finish the rest of the steps off camera
you guys probably seen enough of me buffing it's all the same stuff gotta do it three times this
is just step one so i got step two and step three which is two different pads go ahead and change
the pads out in between the steps and then i'll show you guys the progress as i go i might have
to move this indoor soon it's getting pretty dark out here but i'm gonna go ahead and just
try to finish all this off camera so i spent about four hours buffing this car to the second stage
i decided the paint is too far gone to go to the third stage and it wasn't worth the extra effort
i got it basically compounded and then the first layer of polish so right now it's nice and smooth
there's no contaminants in the paint it's ready for a ceramic coat or a wax i'm gonna go ahead and
ceramic coat it next but overall pretty happy with the results i should have did this a long time ago
to get all the contaminants out of this paint you can see the roof right there all the imperfections
in the clear the cancer that's growing here as far as the hood goes the cleaner i got it the uglier
it looked because it showed all the imperfections now that i cleaned up the rest of the good paint
all the bad areas are more obvious all right now that we've got everything cleaned up and buffed
on the car we want to go ahead and ceramic coat it with some armor shield nine if you guys been
watching my channel for a while i've been using this stuff for about two years now and i love
it just because of the protection it provides to all the paint it makes it much easier when i
wash the car the water just beads right off and the dirt just beads right off and it lasts much
longer than wax if you guys are interested in the same product check out the links down description
plus the coupon code for 25 off your first order go ahead and use that code anytime you need this
stuff when you guys are ready to do your own ceramic coating just check that out but we're
going to go ahead and apply this to all the panels so application is very simple it comes
with gloves that you want to use you want to use the microfiber pads that they provide you they
provide three of those they give you this little block that you basically just wrap the microfiber
in there's a block with the foam on it apply three or four dabs of that stuff on there and you apply
it in little four by four sections on the car you want to do this one panel at a time you let
it dry for about five minutes and then you wipe it off with a microfiber you could re-coat it twice
re-coating it twice all really does is guarantee that you cover everything and you didn't miss any
spots it doesn't necessarily give it a thicker coat or anything so once it's on there it'll
protect your paint for at least two years if you garage keep the car and take care of the paint it
might last longer you always want to just see how well the water beads and then reapply as necessary
so before i coat i want to clean off any residue like this fling right here the white little fling
from the compound and other stuff i'm doing around here and just kind of clean up everything so i'm
going to use some dupli-color paint prep this is the wax and grease remover from dupli-color
so i've got it in the spray bottle and then after that i'm going to use some just regular alcohol
and spray it down just to make sure the surface is nice and clean before i coat it
so
my my
so
ice in my veins i've been driving this train years in this lane there's no stop in this
flame cause i came to the game and i changed it to play how i like rearranged it to my own domain
yeah i got what it takes made lots of mistakes taking shots skipping breaks feeling lost feeling
great popping off singing straight never stop never changed all the squad here to play and
i've got something to say yeah i work hard each and every day i get lost in the words i say
i don't push pods no i push play i won't stop till i make a change i withdraw on the things i make i
turn flaws into flawless traits i build tall never trapping space i won't stop till i hear him say
hey guys thanks for tuning in all the way to the end of this video on paint correcting the paint on
my is-300 as you can see it's very labor-intensive to get the paint looking good even though i've got
all these little cancer spots and eventually all this stuff's probably gonna appeal on me
but at least most of the car is nice and shiny the previous owners never really took care of
this paint but at least i restored it as much as i could so tune in on my next video we're gonna go
ahead and take care of all this trim right here we're gonna take apart this trim right here and
redo it in some trim black from sem i'm gonna go ahead and re-powder coat the wipers i'm
gonna change the crown here i'm gonna do some other stuff to do all the trim out here redo
