    Don't apply the wax in circles. Circles don't allow your hand to apply even pressure on the applicator pad, and that leads to uneven disbursement of the wax. Look at how the top of your swirls are whiter from more wax deposits and the bottom half of the swirls are darker from less. Apply in a north/south or east/west motion to avoid this. It also saves you more work during the buffing process.

    When you using a woolpad on the paint its getting little scratches in de paint when used a rotary polisher like you have. But you need to step it up to a second polish with a DA to remove any scratches, swirls, hotburns, and give it a IPA wipe down before getting the wax going on.

    Michael Zak is correct....put polish on the cloth buffer to apply to the paint, then buff off (I do this by hand with a micro-fiber cloth) I then buff the polish with a difference cloth ''If needed'' and then apply wax and buff off by hand....do this panel by panel. What I usually do then is hit it up very gently By HAND over the whole car with a fresh microfiber to ensure I didnt miss anything ;) Just a tip! If your really motivated you can put two coats of wax on your car. I use turtle wax btw

    You use the pad to remove any dust particles that might be on the car, you wash the car and drive it home were you are going to buff it so on that trip your car will have small traces of dust on it.
    And the second time you use the cloth is to remove lint from the buffing.

    • @opelpedia

      Wax is not the same thing as polish! You get swirl marks from polishing your car and not holding the rotating head perpendicular to the paint and also using to high rpm on the polishing machine.

  • @danlc95

    Just had to ask why you had the cord rubbing the side of car and kept yanking on it shouldn't it have been over the shoulder out of the way. Why didn't you pop the hood to protect the edges when you were tilting the polisher when it was to be flat to avoid burning @ 2200 rpm,

    • @opelpedia
      @opelpedia  8 лет назад

      +Kevin Perry On wool pads you never go above 1000 - 1200 depending on how accustomed to use this type of pad.

    • @danlc95
      @danlc95 6 лет назад

      That's only really necessary with high speed rotary buffers. The tool he's using is a random orbit polisher. The random orbital is designed to mimic hand movement. Although, when you get into something like a variable speed Porter-Cable 7424xp, yeah, I've burned through edges with that thing on speed 6.
      He'd have to sit on that edge for a week, with an aggressive pad, and compound to achieve strike through.

    • @opelpedia
      @opelpedia  10 лет назад

      dried wax is removed with microfiber cloth and for the second part of your question swirls are obtain at higher rpm then the rpm that can be reached with a buffing machine like the one in the video.
      swirls are the result of bad technique plus rps and always make the difference between waxing and polishing

Thanks for the tip on always using gloves, though, it makes all the difference I'm sure. BTW, don't pay attention to the haters bashing you for dragging the cord of your buffer on the paint; paint is harder than the plastic of the cord. It won't scratch. It's called science, duh!

      Ahmed Abdulla personal experience a dual action polisher is a better overall option as it can do both easier and safer but I use the same as he does. A foam heading is my personal favorite and it doesn't get as hot. But if you wax with the wool like he is just move the thing around with applying minimum to no pressure because it can burn the paint.
