How to polish paint (for beginners!): choosing your pad for the shiniest paint

Рет қаралды 58,536

2 ай бұрын

In this video, we demonstrate how pad choice can greatly impact the finish on your automotive paint. With the DIY Detail polishing system, we offer three pads and one liquid polish -- Gold Standard Polish. You have the choice of our wool cutting pad, our yellow waffle pad and our red jeweling pad.
So which one do you choose, and why?
The process of pad choice actually begins BEFORE that; proper paint polishing is all about the prep. We need a clean surface to really determine what's happening on paint.
That's why we spend so much time in this video demonstrating a proper wash and decontamination.
Here's what we use:

The incredible suds, iron remover/ decon towel and polish/pad worked great! No dusting and it was by far the easiest as far as effort to results I've used. Great stuff!!

I moved the car around onto diff light for so long and looked for high spots. Today i found one hugh spit i missed in a weird bend on the trunk door. Its barely noticiable but now i see it. Is the only way to correct this to gold standard polish it out then reapply?

@@diydetailofficialHey!! Currently applying your 5 year costing after full paint prep. Is it possible to apply the coating in a 55 degree garage? And let it cure for a few days? It may drop down to 45 at night after I turn heater off. Thank you

@DIY Detail I’ve never seen you use a Tar Remover, only an Iron Remover. I believe a Tar Remover doesn’t react well with those type Decon towels. So when, if at all, would you use a Tar Remover please???

Use DIY Detail Tree Sap Remover to remove Tar. Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel is not compatible with removing tar.
