I used 3D One for a recent preparation polish on a new mustang for a ceramic coating and it was easy use and removal.

3D One is a very versatile product - use as a compound or a polish. I'm using it right no on single stage paint for one-step correction and polishing in preparation for a ceramic coating.

Could you show me please the results of using 3D One with before and after photos? It would be very interesting to see your experience, as I also plan to try this product soon.

Here is the only two photos I took before using the 3D One polish. This was a new car that had something applied at the dealer as it beaded water during the prep-wash steps. I wanted only to use a light polish to remove any wax or sealant applied by the dealer. Easy to use and remove and would use it again for this purpose.

First photo was as before using the polish.


Next is the after the polish on the hood.

Text book process. Doesn't matter if a car is new or old - before installing any brand of ceramic coating the paint needs to be, or at least SHOULD be machine polished at least one time to ENSURE nothing is on the paint from previous work done to the car. This includes spray detailers, spray waxes and even wash-n-waxes.

There's simply no way to know for sure that anything previously applied is removed by wiping or washing - thus machine polishing with a professional grade product is required to know for sure you are down to bare-naked paint.

Easy to use and remove and would use it again for this purpose.

I teach using 3D ONE in my classes for One-Step Paint Correction and Ceramic Coatings and this is also my normal practice.

In fact, I hope and pray that any one-step paint correction detail jobs CAN be cleaned up and corrected, (this means swirls removed), using only 3D ONE and ONLY doing one step. Otherwise I'm happy to do two steps but I charge for it.


For my last 3-day class in September, we used 9 cars total for the first 2 days. That's a lot of cars and a lot of hands-on training. (the 3rd day is boat detailing).

We start with at least 2 cars that NEED compounding - thus a 2-Step Paint Correction Process.

Next I bring in at least 2 cars that DON'T need compounding only polishing - thus these two cars can be used to teach 1-Step Paint Correction.

Then after the above 4-6 cars, we cover Production Detailing and this is using products like SPEED and 505 Correction Glaze.

For the 1-Step Paint Correction session of the class on Friday, I brought in a BRAND NEW FORD BRONCO - duh - it's brand new - it shouldn't have any deep swirls and scratches and shouldn't NEED to be polished. This Bronco in this NEW condition is perfect for teaching the class 1-Step Paint Correction because although the Bronco is new - we have no idea what the dealership has done to the Bronco. Thus we need to wash it, clay it and then do 1-step paint correction to prep for the ceramic coating.

The second car for teaching 1-Step Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating was a 2018 Audi in like-new condition. The owner only hand-washes this car and there were literally no swirls or scratches in the paint even being 4 years old BUT - of course we washed it, clayed it and then did 1-Step Paint Correction to perfectly prepare the paint for ceramic coating.


Here's the cars from that class session.



Time to get to work with 3D ONE
Our Test Spot shows we can remove the water spots, swirls and scratches on the Audi using 3D ONE with foam polishing pads. For the brand new Bronco - there wasn't much for swirls and scratches but before installing a ceramic coating it's normal protocol to do at least one machine polishing step to perfectly clean and prepare the paint for the coating. So for both the Audi and the Bronco the class is using their choice of polisher with foam polishing pads and 3D ONE.




3D ONE - A Hybrid Compound/Polish

Purpose Built Training Academy --> LOTS OF POWER!

The new 3D Training Academy is PURPOSE BUILT for hands-on classes. This means BEFORE the building was started Yancy and I were consulted for recommendations as how to build a great training garage. Besides lots of room to work and an indoor Wash Bay, we both recommended LOTS of POWER - as in lots of electrical power outlets on dedicated breakers.

Classes where you sit in chairs don't need much power. We don't have any chairs - instead we have lots of tools thus we need and have plenty of power outlets. We can easily plug-in and run 26 tools without throwing a breaker.

3D Ceramic Touch
After doing all the machine paint correction to the paint on the Ford Bronco and the Audi A4 - next the class chemically stripped the paint and thin installed 3D Ceramic Touch.


Using 3D WIPE to chemically strip the paint before installing the Ceramic Touch Coating.

3D Ceramic Touch is a real, authentic ceramic coating only it comes in a spray-on form. If you have high-spots with this coating and don't get them removed within 24 hours - you will have to compound or polish the high spots to remove them.

Done!

At this point of the FIRST DAY - the class has,

• Washed 3 cars to learn how to correctly clean canvas and vinyl tops.
• Multiple-step Paint Correction and Ceramic Coated 2 cars - 1965 Mustang and 1980 Corvette
• One-step Paint Correction and Ceramic Coated 2 cars - 2022 Ford Bronco and 2018 Audi A4

And throughout the day the class has learned multiple, multiple techniques using a wide variety of products and tools. None of this could have happened if they were sitting in chairs looking at the wall (looking at a powerpoint) and we;re not done yet!




Sun Shot!
Here's the Bronco outside - the paint really comes to life after machine polishing and installing the 3D Ceramic Touch ceramic coating.
