Thanks, this is useful information for me since I'm thinking about buying a DA polisher. Your tips on how many pads to use and when to clean are very helpful. Good video!

Real polishers by the flex and don't cut corners let alone burn lines. This guy knows what hes doing folks. Don't get scared you can't burn the edges with a da I go 4 passes with rotary and I'm out. Based on experience and knowing how much clear coat I'm I'm removing. Everyone says it's bad don't burn the edges. I laugh 😅

As per usual: *It's done as per the customers budget, from there you manage their expectations* I've done cars with a machine glaze for customers who really just want a quick "enhanced" look, this can be done in literally a few hours. Then I've gone as far as chasing perfection with no end budget defined up front! It's all about the car and the customer. Be careful over them ridges though, excess time and pressure on the ridge and you can strike through. I know you know this, but just for anyone new to this and thinking it's all good to polish over lines of bodywork.

@midnightmystery544 4 жыл бұрын

So kind of lift off a little where the body lines are to prevent from cutting too deep into the clear on the ridge?

@DetailingandtheBeast 4 жыл бұрын

@@midnightmystery544 I'd polish up to a ridge both sides to meet at that ridge (if that makes sense). Going over a ridge is unnecessary in my opinion.

That hood line is called a “style line” or “character line”. Also when buffing style lines you want the rotation to come off the line vs spinning towards the line. It does much less damage to the line. Less chance of burn through.

Hello! Thank you for the video! I find it easy to polish details that are high, but what about details that are low? Like doors and bumpers. I can’t feel my legs and hands. I worked 2 days for 10 hours a day and now I have to do a finish. I seriously hate this job because there is no one to explain properly what to do

@ryan_lawrence 4 жыл бұрын

If you are doing any correction, you NEED to do iron removal, tar removal and clay bar Treatment. You want the clear coat as clean as possible before you even think about using a DA polisher. Iron removal is done by using a dedicated iron removal, such as Iron Out by Autofinesse. On lighter colours you will be able to see small orange dots where iron particles have landed and then began to rust. Iron Out will dissolve these and remove the contaminants safely, while turning purple to indicate the reaction. Jet wash it off after leaving it to dwell, but DO NOT let it dry on the surface.

Move polisher about inch every two seconds, you are moving polisher too fast here. Down Pressure on polisher should be just a tad more then just resting your hand on top of polisher. You should get the camera closer for us to see the after results. They're called body lines, not edges. And no! You don't want to polish in sections.... Breaking it up into 2 weekends or anything like that. If you do, the parts you did last weekend could have all kinds of fallout and brake dust on it. Do it all at once or not at all. It's only gonna take a few hours, give or take. Imo.
