How to 1-step polish with a rotary!

At DIY Detail, we often teach the process of FINISH polishing with a rotary polisher and our rotary jeweling pad. But what about a 1-step polish and seal? That's what this video is all about -- bringing shine, and gloss, to dull paint. With just one pad, one machine, and one polish!

With that said, a good portion of this video focuses on the prep process. Proper preparation of the paint (wash, decontamination, even Water Spot Remover) is essential for best polishing results.

Unfortunately cracking indicates that it’s time to repaint. Lack of protection over the years is the most common cause.

Go for the 1 gallon pump sprayer instead. It's the one designed to be bleach resistant. The long hose/handle is much easier to work with and the pressure is better. I always find the half gallon to hold barely enough rinseless solution.

Im always waiting for a new video. How often do we have to apply polish on the pad? Because i see you polish a large section with nice results. And do we need prep before applying ceramic gloss?

Size of section is dependent on the paint and tool. Doing a test spot will provide an answer. No need for panel prep before DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss

@diydetailofficial 10 күн бұрын

That’s an easy one, the name.

@rooboy99 10 күн бұрын

There's hundreds of videos online about this already. A one step is using a compound that has a cutting and finishing abillity. An enhancement might remove 50+ percent of swirls whilst improving gloss. Which is basically what a one step also does.

Hi there! A question if you will. I'm about to take on polishing my 2013 Jeep Wrangler that has pre existing swirl marks on the paint from car washes. Should I use just Gold Standard Polish during the polishing phase? Or in your opinions would it be wiser to compound first with something I have around the garage (I think Meguiars Ultimate Compound) first? I'm looking for the best result possible. Granted my Jeep looks pretty good already using your products with it.

I've got a rotary at home so I tried your technique but not really getting the results I expected. I'm from Australia so I can't purchase your exact products yet but I've got an orange waffle pad and am using Meguiar's UC. No pressure low speed rotary slightly damp and covering an area about 10 times over gives me ~50% scratch removal. There are still a lot of visible swirls but looks glossier for sure. Do I just need to keep going over? 20-30 times to get a good result?
