Got to meet jason earlier this week! I have to say the tips and tricks he gave me seriously improved my skills. I feel faster and the final product is just outstanding. Not only all that but jason was such an amazing teacher! The way he explained things made so much sense compared to what i have learned previously. He is also very kind and fun to talk to! So excited to watch all these and learn more!

This video is a pleasure to watch and this is my first time seeing Jason speak. I am no where near Jason’s worse day but I think differently too and I really like his explanations. I will always listen to Yvan and Jason talk about paint and polishing because first I will learn at a high level and second because they are fun to listen to. Your shop is already looking less greasy and the logos look great. Thank you for a wonderful video and lots of food for thought.

Would love a deep dive on how the other variables can change the final result even on the same pad/polish. Machine speed, pressure, arm speed, amount of polish, how damp the pad is. Really dig into how they relate to defect removal and finishing.

So glad I discovered you guys. Just ordered everything, excited to try. Seems like you are what Adams Polishes used to be, but likely better products. Simple, easy to use, perfectly explained videos. Nothing left to the imagination. Just simple explanations. Keep your stuff in stock, provide good customer service if there is an issue (creates loyalty), no limits for this brand.

I keep taking my headphones off to see who’s beating the block down. 😂 All podcasts and videos need to at least be normalized. But surely normal people can listen and enjoy without only hearing the white/background noise like nails on a chalkboard! 😂

So do you tilt the machine or not? I thought you guys said to keep the rotary as flat as possible?

@diydetailofficial 3 ай бұрын

By tilting Jason just means exercising a little more pressure on one side than the other, the face of the pad doesn’t leave the surface.

Explain how to not get holograms with a rotary. I get them anywhere i use my 3" drill pad on things like the black trim on b pillars. Is it the cut polish that does it and do i need to follow up with a polish that specializes in removing holograms. Currently i take a DA to remove them.

@diydetailofficial 3 ай бұрын

Pad, pressure and speed all come into play. What pad, polish, speed and pressure are you using.

@Aaron-tv6fs 3 ай бұрын

You get holograms from pressure, tilted pads, and machine speed. I rotary on speed 3, zero pressure , one inch per second and overlap 50%. Keep the pad flat. No tilt. You’ll always get some faint hologram from the compound step in most paint finishes. Use a soft pad and a finish polish and you can finish with the rotary hologram free. Try finishing with the rotary. You should have no holograms if you’re technique is on point

@Aaron-tv6fs 3 ай бұрын

Also use less compound. I only “prime” wool and Microfiber pads. Foam pads require one to two dots and no more. Less compound results in less haze and holograms
