Love the rinseless wet wipe method that Yvan introduced me to, makes removing the polish residue so easy. If you're a hardcore DIYer and you're driveway polishing outside (or you're a mobile detailer), you can use the rinseless to wipe down the panel just before you buff it to remove any dust, and it will help cool the panel on sunny days if you keep the bucket out of the sun.

I have the same CTS ( unfortunately not a V) when I bought it the paint was horrible condition. Through watching your videos I now have it looking better than new. I will definitely have to try the gold standard. I always top it off with quick beads. People think it’s brand new not 12 years old. I love working on that car. Great video once again.

I recently purchased your polish and pads during your Black Friday sale. I own a black 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe and the paint has been beautifully maintained. After I used the polish the depth of shine was taken to another level. I was so impressed that I have placed another order for more of your products which will arrive in a couple of days. I also did a rinseless wash on a black Audi yesterday. I had detailed that same vehicle several weeks ago. And I am a true believer in the quality of your products. Well done!

@@lastdays. not eve close to being true. The pad and polish/compound are what has the biggest impact on results by far. 8, 15, 21mm throw is the same no matter what machine you use. 800-5,000rpm is the same now matter what machine you use. Cheaper machines won’t last as long , are louder and vibrate more but will give you just as good results.

Just re the glass - I had a very surprising experience. I was trying to remove a stubborn "film" of grime on my brand new car, and tried a compound (Optimum Intensive Polish), by hand, with a small foam pad. (orange CCS). It created micro-marring! I had watched a video on the Obsessed Garage channel where Matt said "use the most aggressive stuff you have" (in the context of thoroughly cleaning the glass before applying a glass sealant). It appears to me that glass, despite it's hardness, still has to be treated with great care!

It is offen said that you should not let a polishing maschine spin freely without load because this would cause damage. Do you think this is nonsense because you always do that?
@diydetailofficial Жыл бұрын
This is Yvan. I worked in R&D with Porter Cable, and it is not an issue. Bearings are designed for axial load( that’s exactly what happens when free spinning) they are not designed for thrust loads( what you do when you apply pressure to your polisher).

I suggest you watch a little more of our content. Yes we wash and polish some very dirty vehicles.

Should’ve took it out in the sun to really see the results cause that’s where it’s really gonna show if the swirls really came off or not on a black car Black cars a pain to buff 😡

Why do these polishing vids always start with a highly polished car? Sorry life’s too short and more interesting things to do and see here in the UK! 😴
@diydetailofficial Жыл бұрын
This is far from highly polished. On camera even a dirty car looks clean and shiny

paint overspray on the windows? Must have been the crappiest chop shop paint job ever of the windows were not covered for painting.

Love you guys.................But............... clean perfect appeaing vehicles before... no side by side, before and after shots... Your production is severely severely lacking. I KNOW,, you know what you're doing, but you have got to show one door done, other untouched.. Watch AMD detailing to see top of the line work

Fyi…this is exclusively an American issue within the USA car detailing market, when an outdated Italian brand’s DA machine was hugely pumped into the American market, with an “excitingly scary fear-mongering” story. Classic American propaganda created by Americans, inflicted onto Americans to exploit Americans (look at how big that Italian brand had become) and finally after a very long time….due to courageously professional detailing gurus such as yourselves, you dare to expose the truth by going against the grain. In other parts of the world, there was never any fear of the Rotary, where using Rotaries to “polish” cars are as common as Texans owning and playing with firearms.
