I really like your humble approach. This type of recorded experimentation makes for a great learning environment. Thank you 👍👍
Good video. Thanks for speaking so that we could hear and understand what you were saying. Too many people don't talk loud enough, mumble and talk too fast. Well done.
Fantastic video, well spoken and easily understood audio. My goodness how much we could learn if more presenters followed your example. For many videos you want to click away, your video made it so easy to watch and learn from. BRAVO!
Some years ago,i polished many different cars by hand for 4 years when i begun in the detailing industry with great results and the custumers very satisfied with my hand polishing jobs.Actually i use dual action and rotary buffer to get the job done faster.
Hand polishing is VERY HARD,BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE-LEARNING DIFFERENT WAYS TO WORK MAKE YOU STEP UP YOUR GAME AND PROFITS
This video came along at a perfect time for me. My dog jumped up on my friends car and put some light scratches on his hood. I'm going to try and polish them out this weekend. As I don't have a polisher with me here, I'll be doing this by hand. This was a great comparison! I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos! Thanks!
Hand polish i better than no polish when you dont have hundreds to spend on a rotary.
I’m an avid handpolisher, and I don’t mind products with fillers. My take is that correcting the paint to a mirror finish year after year, eventually will remove the clearcoat that is there to serve a purpose - namely protecting the car. This is particulary true on a daily driver, where marring and imperfections will rapidly re-appear. I’m always on the lookout for the best and most longlasting handpolish products 😄
Ordered the S20 Black, trying something different compared to 105/205 combo. Next might be the HD line. Definitely see the value of 1 step polish on moderate swirls so I can focus on sealants/wax and other areas. I believe hand polish is for hard to get areas like you said. Another educational video. Thanks Sandro
Just tried the S20 Black. Wow. Clearly a 1 step compound as long as your expectations are realistic factoring pad, pressure and speed. Time saved vs 105/205 is big. Still tempted to reach for the 105. But
The difference in margin is minimal.
Greetings from Canada. Very instructive video, full of information,I realy liked it. Thank you .

I'm so glad I came across your channel. I've started from your first video and have been working my way through them. I did skip to this one today though. it was an interesting title. I've been getting set up to work on my own car. trying to learn everything I can. Thanks for making the videos, they really help.
Car Craft Auto Detailing I haven't done any machine polishing yet, but I bought a Flex 3401 and a Flex PE 8. Also bought a 4" back plate for the 3401. I figured that should cover most applications. The rest I could just do by hand.
Best comparison I’ve watched ! Thanks for your time 👊🏻
I agree
Very good video, thanks, I detail just my own personal daily driver. I keep it garage kept & still do all the work by hand. I'm toying with the idea of purchasing a DA polisher, to be it looks worth having, it's results look really good.
Hey bud , I want to start detailing as a side hustle , what do you feel customers like yourself are looking for if they want to pay a detailer ? Assuming you're someone that doesnt like to put on the time .
This was exactly the video I was looking for, basically it's worth it for the time saved to just get a rotary machine
Nice done by hand
Great review, explanation and comparison, Sandro. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this, good video!
Excellent video good teacher/trainer
Good work again. Keep it up! ☺
Clear coat is actually more prone to large scale failure via oxidation and fading. Its employment was to make spraying more intricate colors and Metallics possible. You can't blend single stage paint nearly as well as 2 stage. So we have adopted it to help with general maintenance and collision resprays. Has nothing to do with durability. I'll take single stage solid colors over 2 stage with clear any day. And this is coming from a 17 year tenured auto painter
Awesome video mate!
Cheers
Is the difference between polished / unpolished still as big after you put a layer of wax over it?
Hi, just saw this video and am thinking to buy a machine polish as i ran out of strength to hand polish a whole car once last night. This video is very convincing. Just wondering if you would have any time available, i would be able to come down melbourne one day and you could teach me how to use the same polisher you used in this video? Im still skeptical on the proper technique i should be using such as pressure, speed and pad selection. I could buy you coffee or lunch, i guess?
Wilson Law j
helpful and interesting.thank you
I noticed on your other videos that you polish in vertical and horizontal lines when doing it by hand. Here, you use circular motions. Is there a certain one you prefer?
Grrat video, but i've got a few questions... If the polish compound dries out ehile hand polishing, shall I remove it, wipe it off before going to the next step? Maybe I use too much polish at one time? Greetings from Poland
Very well detailed video, will hand polishing cause swirl marks? Also, can you spend 5-10 minutes polishing by hand?
Car Craft Auto Detailing I have Menzerna 3-1 One step polish, & I read on the TDS sheet you can use it by hand. Also, autoglym makes a resin polish that you can use by hand as well
Sandro, what are your thoughts about spot-polishing areas with love marks/swirls by hand? I'm pretty sure the previous owner had the car detailed, but they missed a few spots that have defects.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Ugh. I figured that would be the answer. Really appreciate the response Sandro and as always, love your work!
Thank you for making this video!
Never polished before can you cause holograms or swirl paint by using only polish by hand ? I have very lite swirls in the paint when i bought the car they ran it thru an automated car wash. Ive hand washed with 2 buckets the rest of the time .
Car Craft Auto Detailing
i appreciate it. i will be using mother's they are good from what i used from them and i got cobra pink micofiber cloths . i guess i will find out if my challenger has soft paint and go from there. again thanks for the info
Hello. Can You please explain shortly why You choose HD products for this test?
Question from Lithuania :)
what do u recommend on very minor scratches, aio or pure polish?
Have you tried HD speed?
Car Craft Auto Detailing im about to try 8H20 and Sonax polish, did you compare it to the compound u use? Like the HD speed is a one step polish, like the Scholl s20. Which of them are less time consuming and way to go .. what do you think? Like the video 👍
Car Craft Auto Detailing so with S20 I use a micro fibre pad and one pass all over car?
what light are you using to show those swirls. I cant find a way to reproduce swirls in my garage. I have all LED ceiling light in the garage. I can see scratches and defects pretty well but swirl I have to pull the car out every time to verify swirls are gone. If it gets cloudy I can't see anything.
Hand polishing with kitten No 2 now those were the days 😂
Car Craft Auto Detailing My old man still swears by kitten lol
Great video Sandro. What polish with a mild abrasive and no fillers can you suggest for a hand polish (Id then go over with a sealant) Do you think scratch removers are ok? I used the Mothers on an area and i was surprised with the improvement. Im guessing there is better out there
Car Craft Auto Detailing
Thanks mate, i always value your input. Ive got a black 2012 subaru xv. Would you suggest a foam or MF applicator with on that surface.
Hi Sandro,
Love the channel!
Just working my way through my first correction and wondering on the polishing stage, should I be using the DA at a lower speed or relatively higher speed?
Thanks in advance!
I have (think i've watched most of your vids on RUclips). To the point, great delivery makes for easy viewing (actually bought a shinemate 15mm and a 12mm mini after watching your vid).
They're smooth and easy to work but get bogged down every now and then- great learning curve though..
Settled on Scholl white spider and S3XXL for correcting then finished down with s30+ and a shinemate red.
Do a video of foam vs microfiber pads
Hi.. Seeing that u used shinemate polisher, What are your thoughts on the shinemate polisher especially ex610 15mm polisher,does it stall a lot?
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingthanks!Sounds good
Great vid again Sandro, thanks for the effort mate, keep up the good work :-)
Hey that's the new HDO microfiber pad, is it a great pad? How does it compare to the meguiars and Griot's boss pad?
Thanks for the reply, I've been through the forums and everyone prefers the Boss microfiber to the meguiars because the fibers stay up much longer and they finish better but those HDO are very new and there's not much information on them
I think meguiars has to update their pads because all of the other microfiber pads that have been released in the last year have the hole in the middle for cooling down and most foam pads have it too
The other products that sound promising are the new JESCAR compound and JESCAR Polish because they are supposed to be better formulations of Menzerna 400 and Menzerna 3500/3800
Next video: Engine detailing :)
Tnx Mate!
Great video again! I would say everything you do is perfect but there is a typo in your description, you spelled Rules instead of Rupes. But that's just me being picky lol
decent vid, thanks
It could be just my screen but the hand polish side seemed to have less swirls than the machine.. Que?
Nevermind, I take it back.. The final part of the video showed the significant improvement by the machine
How do you know what products are SMAT and which are DAT (?? is that it?)? I have scholl S3, S20, S30 and S40 but i have no idea which is what kinda of polish.
Also would you recommend SMAT for a learner since it is more consistant in its results?
In regards to paint hardness, i was able to hand polish my older subaru to a fairly decent finish over two days. Then i tried to do my mums VW and after one day on just the bonnet i gave up until i bought a machine.
Hey Sandro, thanks for the reply.
I have recently bought a machine (shinemate 5" DA) with a bunch of scholl polishes. It's a pretty massive learning curve but finding out about SMAT and DAT explains a lot of what i was experiencing. I have been doing too big of an area and i was finding that from when i started to when i finished in that spot i was getting very varied results. I thought it was my pads and not enough polish etc etc. But now i realise i was just using the polish wrong and not understanding that the DAT needs to be broken down till its finishing. So what i was doing was using it one spot with its heavier cut then using it in another area with its finishing cut.
Now that i understand more i will hopefully get some better results :D thanks so much.
I really want to try optimums spray polishes though, they look like they are a little easier in terms of pad priming and using the right amount of product.
Thanks again
Is this way good for hard paints??
thye look the same to me
My arthritic shoulder couldnt handle hand polishing
What tape do you use for cars?
thank you for reply! there were so many tapes and i didnt know which one i should go for.
Why do you keep rubbing the pads with your grubby fingers? You're getting oil and gunk from your hands all over the pads!
