Your videos are great because they provide real world truths! Sometimes less is more. For most paint, enhancement is the way to go - especially with daily drivers. Plenty of all in one sealants out there that will drastically improve the looks of most paint while not harming the finish. Griot's Ceramic All in One Wax is one of my favorites.

I'm so glad that you said that waxes last less than a month. Some claims out there are outrageous. Then people buy them and wonder why the 12 months+ wax doesn't last a month.

There is a big difference between what I call a paint correction and what you call a paint correction. For me a average paint correction is a full day 2 step compound and polish. Anything more than that like wet sanding that is pretty much a show car level correction most people dont wanna pay for.

Very true, factory paint very thin.

Most of my details include paint enhancement polishing, The first thing I look for when assessing car is the "car wash club sticker "on the windshield. There are three "Swirl-o-matic" tunnel washes and two "pay and sprays".within 4 miles of my home ( I detail out of my attached two car garage).

I used to be a professional detailer. I would tell my clients that the average clear coat was about the thickness of plastic Saran wrap. If your fingernail can catch the edge of the scratch it is too deep to be buffed out.
