The Mother of All "How to Remove Swirls for Novices" Thread!
That's right boys and girls, The Junkman has went and made paint correction so easy, a caveman could do it! In the following videos, I cover the entire process from start to finish. The first two videos are worth their weight in gold for the information alone. I don't even start working on the paint until the third video but the amount of information I cover in the first two videos is priceless. Do NOT skip through them!
If you have ever been apprehensive about using a machine to rid your paint of scratches and swirls, you will definitely not be worried after watching this video series. I break it down to a level where a 10 year old can watch these videos and start fixing paint. The supplies and equipment that I use are readily available in the USA and abroad (for the most part). If you have a serious desire to finally fix your paint and about 1 hour and 54 minutes, then this video series is totally for you. After you have watched this series, you will not believe how easy I have made this.
So sit back and get out some popcorn, kick up your feet and enjoy. The Junkman is about to burst onto your screen in a way that only the Junkman can!
Here are your before and after shots, which won't make a lot of sense until you have watched the videos, especially when you see how the number "2" ended up in the paint!

AFTER!

Part 1 - Hey boys and girls! Finally, a video series that takes the process of paint correction from the beginning to the end (from claying to waxing). Although I do not apply any wax at the end, I cover everything else in detail. This series is 1 hour and 54 minutes long so that should give you an idea as to how much detail I go into.
In this first video, I talk in detail about exactly what paint correction is. I also go into detail about the polishing technique you should use as well as the best product on the market that you should buy. I cover other topics too so just sit back and kick up your feet. This video is 15 minutes and 7 seconds long.

Part 2 - In this video, I go into detail about exactly what I use to remove the paint damage within this video series. I name and visually show every piece of equipment as well as all of the products necessary to do paint correction. In some cases, I even offer up a location where you can find the products that I use. I talk about why I chose to use the products that I use as well as what I don't use. If you want a list of these items, WATCH THIS VIDEO.
Part 3 - Okay, in this video I identify the damage that we are going to repair. I even go as far to create some damage just to ensure that my paint will be more jacked up than your paint. I then go into detail about claying, and what it does for your finish. Last of all, I show how to assemble the PC-7424XP so that we can start the polishing process. The video following this video will be in high definition so that you can clearly see the damage and the effectiveness of my repair.
Part 4 - Because I wanted the viewers of this video to be able to see the results of the work that I did in high detail, I uploaded this video in high definition. That took 12 hours!
In this video, I actually go into the proper technique for polishing with the PC-7424XP, showing me using the machine properly. I show the polishes that I use, the pads that each polish is used on, how to work the polisher and how much polish should be used. I also talk about the importance of not using too much polish and clogging up the pores in the pads, which makes the whole process worthless. I go into the discussion of how long to work a polish and when to stop (after a polish flashes). I show which order the polishes are used and explain why you use them in that order.
One thing that I stress in this video is the importance of a solid technique. I talk about and show the technique that I use, as well as how to ensure that you are developing a solid technique. As I say often in this video series, "Technique trumps product 365, 24/7. No matter who's polishes you decide to use, none of them will work worth a darn if your technique sucks. Technique rules!

Conclusion - I recap my process and allow you into my mindset concerning paint correction and caring for your paint.

Hey Junkman - glad to see you made it!!!
Folks, I've been following the Junkman's car detailing YouTube series for about a year, and he's taught me so much so far, it's not even funny! If you watch his videos, you'll be better prepared to take care of your car in the style it's been accustom - quality pampering!
Welcome Junkman!

Nice shout out to new jersey in the end i caught that btw. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for the awesome info!

I'm part of the NJ Stang's forum and have spent some time with those guys at the Ford Nationals. A lot of Mustang guys think that Chevy guys can't appreciate the Fords. That's a long way from the truth with me. I just did a detail clinic for the Indianapolis Mustang club and Fast Fords. If I could, this puppy would be sitting in my garage. This thing is bad azz.

The Junkman knows NO boundaries when it comes to the shine. Even the Viper guys let me roll with them! That's sandpaper I'm using on that Viper...

This is pretty awesome. I'm going to watch all these when I get off work. I have already watched all the vids on Autogeek. That's where I started.
Hey Mikenaploi, I think I know you from the Carolinaeuros forum. I used to have a red Z4 and then a black Merc C300 6 speed manual that I traded in for my 5.0.

Hey man, how's it going? I thought the screen name looked familiar but I couldn't place it, I still remember W204guy! Looks like you're not in Columbia anymore? Haven't seen you around CE for a while either. I became a sponsor there earlier this year.

Yeah I'm not in Columbia anymore. I am loving Germany though. Once I get some time to go to all the museums here ( Mercedes, Porsche, and Bimmer World) I will post all the pictures for the CE folks. I'm going to try and hit the Ring up soon too. I need a video camera.
I'm a few years from retirement from this gig and I'm going to start doing mobile detailing in the Columbia area or I might work from my house until I can save for my detail rig. I don't know if I will be staying in the Columbia area though. I might go up to the Rock Hill area so my wife can work in NC.
I just watched all the videos. Junkman! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos for the new guys. I just learned I was using too much product. I have been using the Meg's Detailer line and Mirror Glaze line. One because it works really well, easily and two because it's not an arm and a leg to get it. Also I can get it at the FLAPS (Friendly Local Auto Parts Store). I got the Detailer line stuff at Wal-Mart actually. They recently started selling Groit's stuff at the Autozone close to my house too which was rather surprising. I'm going to make my brother watch all your vids on YouTube the next time he asks me how I keep my car shiny.
