I'm now watching you more than anyone else now because you tell people how it is and not constantly trying to sell products to us and give us genuine reviews on many products . All i am looking for is a car polisher and pads and to be able to polish the swirls out of my paint work and what compound to use and KZfaq sadly has a hundreds of opinions all different to one and other which leaves me baffled to say the least but watching you i get a great idea of what to look at buying and also how to do the paint correction . You also do not try to show the most expensive items or most expensive tools as lots of us simply can not afford to buy them . Another great informative vid !

This video shows that there are some real gems if you look around, £22.50 without discount for 40 quality microfibres is a stunning deal. The polisher looks good too, I might look at purchasing this next time, but then again, my 9-year-old Kestrel Deltalyo DAS-6 Pro 850w is still happily and reliably performing daily paint corrections on typically hard paintwork on approved used stock at the Volkswagen dealership I'm based at (well, maybe I like the vibrations!)

Buying budget tools to start out may seem like a false economy, but when you're starting a business on a budget, having these quality budget tools available is a life saver to someone starting out.

Ive been using a Das6 (non pro) for thrree years, absolutely gutless and stalls at the smallest bit of pressure or concave surface - perfect for one stage gloss-up and i learnt a lot using it - I've used it for 100s of hours and never damaged anything, im sure its impossible with a fine compound and polishing pad if you keep it away from edges and let the rotation disctate the speed with no pressure. I've just bought a Makita cordless 15mm throw now i have the word spreading, but my 3" polisher has been my go to for everything (EX803) Takes longer but better results for me anyway, just abetter machine. Im a massive Hyundai fan (for anyone not aware they've been industrial manufaturers, not just cars: air con units, pressure washers etc. ) . Car, compressor, both been superb. I'm sure this polisher would last you and a great option to start. You covered all great points as usual. My tip is to make the space you are polishing using six times the size of the pad you are using., then you get consistency across the vehicle. But for beginners dont get stuck in the detail and don't be scared to try. (Kia is the Hyundai sister company for anyone who didn't know)

I have never polished my car before or in fact any car in the past. My cars are a bit expensive so don't want to buy something that would harm them more than fixing their paintwork. Could you please recommend a polish machine and the product I should use with it including pads etc? I am not into the business but need it for my personal use and maybe for friends' and families' cars over the weekends. Some have recommended DA8 and others have recommended SPTA 900w Eccentric Polisher, What is your recommendation or if you do recommend the same, which one should I go for?

Liked the video, just bought a black Kia Sorento with paint in the same condition as your Kia. This looks just the machine I need to make my car look a little less used. One question, which compound where you using with the black pad ? I do have some Roar 620 Plus. Would this be any good. Open to any suggestions as this is new to me.

Ive been machine polishing for over 25 years, Started off with rotary back in the 90s and stuck with it until about 2017 when i was tempted with the 'long throw' hype into buying the Flex XFE DA. Going from the rotary to DA i found it useless for anything but very light polishing and finishing. The stalling on the slightest curve is annoying as hell and you spend more time trying to keep the pad spinning than you do doing any meaningful work. About 6 months ago i bought the Flex XCE forced rotation machine and i only wished id bought one years ago. I can knock out a large sized car in 2 hours. You can rip through cars with the forced rotation machines, i love it.

@johnmelling9950 Жыл бұрын

@epicautomotivedetailing trust me pal, just buy one. I'd started to dread machine polishing jobs because it took so long, but since I've been using the forced rotation machine, I've started to love it again. Get yourself some 3D Speed and ONE compounds as well, you wont regret it. Only thing I'd say is the forced rotation feels a little erratic at first as it can walk away from where you want it to go but stick with it and you'll master it after a few uses. You hardly ever need to get out the smaller polisher either as the forced rotation can tackle almost every part of the car. You can even tackle larger sections of the car as well rather than just the usual 18 inch squares at a time. If I'm in a rush to get a job done I'll take a whole half of a bonnet in one go and just rip through it on speed 6.

@johnmelling9950 Жыл бұрын

@epicautomotivedetailing I still have a Flex rotary but only use it with a wool pad for taking out deep, heavy scratches. I then switch to the forced rotation to buff out the rest of the car. I also have a little Milwaukee m12 battery polisher for doing spot repairs, and that's a really handy little machine for isolated scratches and scuffs. I've got about 6 different polishers in my van, lol. My worst buy was a nano polisher. You need lots of high end detailing jobs to get any use out of them.

Question, i currently use Ultimate compound to remove scratches and buff faded headlights after sanding, but can anyone recommend a finishing compound with no fillers or glazes in it to complement what i already use? Mostly to improve gloss, remove any haze left over from the ultimate compound and basically afterward ready for a wipe down before Fusso or a ceramic coating? Preferably more budget friendly too I use a 850w da, rather than rotary, Halfords pads. And i appreciate you making these videos, it helped me and i other people get into detailing, bringing dull paint back to life.

Im a UK based mobile detailer. Ive got 2 DAS6 polishers from different manufacturers.... Both 900w Ive been using the same £60 no name polisher for the last 14 years! The no name ... Really there is no name labels.... Awesome polisher. Instant start. Does the job and makes a racket. I have music and headphones so meh. Takes 8x5x14mm brushes. (Dont buy the Chinese brushes that cost £1, You'll need 2 or 3 sets of brushes per car if you do!) The other is a Draper.. Allegidly 900w. Totally gutless and soft start. I bought it as a 'Oh crap. I need a polisher and No1 has just eaten its last set of brushes and they are not here yet' It lives in the van, only gets used as an emergency.
