Great to see you promoting the simplicity of polishing and reducing fears to newbies, everyone can do this step and that's the DIY DÉTAIL philosophy 👍.
This is honestly perfect for a lot of us. Polishers are expensive and we’re probably gonna do it once or twice for our cars and then coat. Gonna try this very soon
As long as you set realistic expectations, this is one way to go if investing in an expensive polisher isn't on your agenda. I was honestly quite impressed with how good the results were after only a quick pass.
Oh man, was I excited to see this video pop up this morning. What a great chance to finally collaborate in a video with my long-time supporter, mentor and friend. Thanks for all the kind words regarding my videos and I just want to thank Pan and the DIY Detail team for allowing this middle-aged father from Western Canada to be a part of an amazing weekend. It is my genuine hope that this video encourages those that have been tentative about tackling a paint polishing project to get their feet wet and give it a shot. Plus, the palm sander will still have use around the home if you were to decide to upgrade to the next level in polishing machines. Great video Pan, and thank you for letting me be a part of it.
Pan I just recently came across your channel and I’m trying to start up my own detailing business and have learned so much from your channel already !

Great information from two of my favorite RUclips detailers, Pan and Rick! It just shows that a person at home that wishes to polish their vehicle with an existing tool, can obtain decent results with DIY Polish, a yellow waffle pad, and palm sander if you don't want to invest in the bigger or dedicated polishers! I actually have done this many many years ago before I had any dedicated polisher but pad choice was pretty limited but I was able to get it done and it was easier than doing it by hand back then. I used a liquid cleaner wax with mine back years ago and got decent results with it actually. I have quite a few polishers now of all sizes and types but it can be done. Like you guys said, this is a great "intro" into polishing with almost no chance of making a major mistake like burning through the paint. You really did get pretty good results for a very short working cycle/passes and that palm sander with only 3mm orbit. That polish must really be great! I'm going to have to try that in the future along with those yellow waffle pads. I have always liked polishing with waffle pads.
Really, cool. I would have loved to have used a rotary sander for the first time. A cool and inexpensive way to start. A huge difference in optical clarity 👌
Sometimes the things that hold me back are way too many things to buy. I purchased your 3yr Ceramic coating by Pan. I have been agonizing on if I should even do this stage on a brand new vehicle. Now I know I will do this step, before applying the 3yr ceramic. Thanks so much! 🎶😎
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed. - at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example. - vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc - vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements - at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches - at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat. If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well. I explain all of this in this popular video: ruclips.net/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/видео.html So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers: Audi RS6 Avant Performance: ruclips.net/video/L5SQ0ZIJCj0/видео.htmlsi=mcQiMs9HBLlaqjGK Mercedes AMG GT 63 Coupe: ruclips.net/video/4Kznrg3Z31o/видео.html Mercedes S 580: ruclips.net/video/Vq_tfcwryVI/видео.htmlsi=whord2_UEFSg28UW Tesla Model 3: ruclips.net/video/uV7QWwyuPL4/видео.html Aston Martin Vantage: ruclips.net/video/OKga3yZVTqo/видео.html Volvo XC60: ruclips.net/video/tvDBBenhYFA/видео.html Porsche 911 Carrera: ruclips.net/video/2ckiivbFqs4/видео.html Audi Q7: ruclips.net/video/t7HCBSVnizM/видео.html
@@PanTheOrganizer I have watched most of your videos about this, that’s why I want to do it properly. The main video I’m going off of is the one with your 24 Porsche. However, I can’t get the decon tablets(only available to professionals) but I don’t want to cut corners, so I will do what I can with what I have to work with. 🎶😎
This was a fantastic watch. Great information and highly encouraging. This is the kind of stuff we need with the fact that we have the technology now with polishes and pads that anyone can get in and do and not be afraid of doing damage. Super fun video. Love RadGarage too.
@@Magneticalltheway Hey, thanks for the kind words. Polishing certainly has become more accessible and user-friendly in the last few years. No reason for people to be intimidated.
I watch you both! You both are the best and i learn alot from both of you! I do own a black and decker palm sander, i may have the guts to try it on my beloved 2008 Focus, although i take awesome care of her, she does need help with a few areas of her paint! Thanks Gents!!!!
@@dannydaugherty5702 Thanks brother. Standing shoulder to shoulder with this guy and creating a video was an absolute thrill. If you liked this collab, be sure to let Pan know you DEMAND more of it in the future! 🤘
Good information as usual Pan! I’m excited because I just got the notification from UPS that I have a THOR delivery scheduled for today. Clean by Pan products. Woohoo 🎉 I’ll let you know how they work for me. Thanks!
I'm ngl I was hating but my order just came in for your clean shampoo and spray polish and I literally just washed my car with the shampoo first of all the scent YOU NAILED THIS. It's the best smelling scent I ever smelled. I followed your instructions of 1oz in a foam canon the suds are incredible imo you don't even need 2oz. Then the 2 oz in a bucket it's the most lubcriocous soap I have ever used. You sold me I'll be buying a gallon once it's back in stock imo soap of the year hands down.
Thanks for the positive feedback Thai. I appreciate it. It shows that you can still be objective while testing products. Many of the people who were just hating and are now actually giving my products a try are rapidly realizing I wasn’t playing when I said they are actually excellent products we worked hard to develop. So now the same people who were hating are apologizing, which is at least a sign of maturity. People can have their opinion about me, I can’t be liked by everyone. Nobody can. But I don’t deserve to be mistreated the way some do. Luckily the majority of my 1+ million subscribers have support me and appreciate what I have been doing for the detailing community in the 8+ years I have been on RUclips. But yeah thanks for sharing your experience and now that you know how those perform, I’m sure you’d love the entire lineup. Restock in the USA is happening next week. 👍🏻 Have a good night!
I applied Liquid Seal and Squeal by Lithium Car Care using a 5 inch cordless DeWalt Palm sander👌. I used a black finishing pad . It was quick and effortless 👀👌
@@irecruitfish7410 That’s one of the cheapest palm sanders you can find. I ended up with a Black n Decker model to apply the APP by C6 and it wasn’t too loud. But, a smooth Rupes machine (or similar) are way more expensive and they are much more refined. This is a realistic option for those not willing to jump right in.
@@coreymerritt7742 With a nice black finish pad, or even the gold standard waffle pad. Very satisfying way to apply a wax. Much quicker and easier than by hand. Plus, why put unnecessary wear and tear on an expensive polisher?
Awesome video Pan! I was looking for cheaper ways to polish my car, i'm glad you came up with this video. I have 2 question though. Can i do more passes to further reduce the swirls and scratches? Also can i use this method to polish my windshield? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Are you looking into buying a cordless polisher? Or one with a cord? Two completely different categories. Also, what is your budget? If you want the BEST, look into buying Rupes or Flex.
Hey pan, have you made a video about paint chip repairs? Or any advice to fix them DIY. Getting a few on the stang and want to fix them before I do the rest of the process. Thanks for the vid!
Good day Pan, please do a comparison video between a Sokany garmet steamer 1800w or any other brand vs a steam cleaner of similar power. As a prospective detailer I would like to know if I should start with a garment steamer then later upgrade to a steam cleaner or I should just save money and buy steam cleaner. Sending Love from eSwatini (Africa) ❤
Hey buddy. My charger is at the detailers right this moment having your ceramic coat applied. I'll let you know in a few weeks how it looks. Have a great weekend!
Awesome! I’m guessing they are reputable detailers and know what they’re doing? Hopefully they actually read and follow the instructions hehe. But if they do, get ready to have beautiful results which will get better as the days go by and you reach peak slickness and gloss. And next time you wash your car, you will have amazing hydrophobic properties! 💦💦💦
Yeah polishing is the only way to ensure 100% removal of existing coatings. Once done, you use a panel prep spray to remove polishing oils and residue and then you apply the coating as per the instructions.
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan, one more question if I may....is it OK to also use this method on the gloss black plastic parts on the vehicle? I usually take my vehicle to the pro's for polishing and am excited to venture into this palm sander polishing myself. I ask these questions as I want to remove an existing coating on my vehicle as I just purchased your 8-year ceramic coating. Thank you!
The video was removed. After reading the feedback in the comments, there were a lot of people that were saying that I should not have included my line of products and the ones from Detail Co in the awards, as they are new to the market and not tested by the public yet.

I had also been able to test a few Detail Co products ahead of launch to share my feedback with the owners, and I really enjoyed them. Hence why they were also included. As people now started receiving their orders and started testing, independent reviews are popping up and show that my products perform to a very high level. I’ll let the products speak for themselves. I want to thank everyone for their continued support of the CLEAN By Pan The Organizer launch of car care products!
i’ve bought and used a palm sander just for applying c6 ceramics app. one thing that isn’t mentioned is that of you don’t have a long arm reach the palm sander is not fun to use on bigger vehicles. so if people don’t have the reach a palm sander may be a pain to use on hoods and roofs and you may end up leaning against your vehicle too much 😜🐿️💨
@@alexnetwork wouldn’t the rotary “work” the app too much??? and i would agree if i had a longer wingspan 😆 … an inexpensive 8 to 9mm short throw polisher with a longer body or handle is waaaaay better plus it can do some serious work when needed. use it on the lowest speed for the c6 app and working speeds for corrections 😜
I imagine a palm sander (at least the small ones) would wear you out quicker since you’re only using one hand to control them. A cheaper two-handed polisher might be a better option if you’re doing a larger vehicle.
What if you only have one functional hand and you want to do some serious polishing. 2 stage. Can a hand sander be enough or should one look for a more heavy one hand held polisher? And if so, do they exist?
Many years ago when I was involved with car bodywork repairs, I recall the first DA (dual action) Sander the company purchased. It was pneumatic, you could mechanically lock the drive solid, similar to a rotary machine or switch it to random orbit mode. The name appears to have been carried over to random orbit polishers, without them actually being dual action. Obviously, I could be missing something here.
@@johnhopkins7614 There is truth to what you are saying. I’ve been in discussions with people about the correct terminology but I’m still not 100% certain about it. Perhaps Pan will chime in. Or Yvan.
Hi Pan! I'm a fan and enthusiast from Pakistan 🇵🇰. I hope one day your brand will be available here too! I have a question: My cars are primarily garage queens, and after washing and waxing my cars, I tend to cover them with microfiber covers (indoors). When I drive them after a day or two, the brakes make odd sounds for a mile or two. Now I can't drive to dry them off after washing because I live in a dusty city and they'll get dusty immediately. Tried blow drying them but doesn't help. Any tips? Keep it clean! Keep it tight!
Forgive me if this was already asked...is doing the paint enhancement every 6 months before a paint sealant too frequent? I know wears down the clear coat.
Yes that is too often. If you use safe washing and drying methods, you shouldn’t have to polish your car often. I polish my new car when I take delivery and for the three years I own it, never have the need to repolish.
Yvan of DIY Detail recently did a barn find restoration, in part 2 he fills in some rock chips and gives solid advice. You can skip through the video to the paint touchup stage and it's got a lot of info jam packed into just a few mins.
I will definitely try this with my DeWalt Palm Sander! Just one question: remove the brake, it has to be free spinning? Can you clarify @Pan @Rick? I'm not sure what to do...
Remove the backing plate, when off you will see something that prevents the backing plate or spindle from free spinning. Remove it, replace the backing plate, and start Polishing.
Hello Pan , so I got a new Equinox on the 8th of August , I want to put you’re 8 year ceramic coating , what would be the steps and I would need to buy a polishing tool so what would your suggestion be a palm sander like this or a polisher but don’t want to spend 700$ on it . Congrats by the way 😊
Palm sander is fine. General process: Fill all paint chips first and give the paint at least a week to cure. Then do a thorough wash and dry, then soak the car again with a garden hose or pressure washer and do a synthetic clay bar towel treatment using iron remover spray as a clay lube, (ensure car stays wet entire time, maybe do on a cloudy or rainy day; 1 spray on the towel and 1 spray on the panel, glide it super gently on the panel so you do not scratch til all roughness goes away in every spot, but practice by doing the windows first as they do not scratch; dunk the towel in rinseless wash after every panel, shake it out, and re-apply a squirt of iron remover to it then a squirt on the panel). Rinse off before it dries, do a water spot remover treatment which is similar process but with a wet microfiber towel, rinse again, then another light wash with rinseless wash to get rid of all the tap water. Then you do paint correction with wet sandpaper for bad scratches, polish that spot to remove the wet sanding cloudiness, then do a full polish, then do a panel prep or somehow remove all polish residue before you lock it in with a coating. I use 3M Trizact 3000 grit for wet sanding. You want to do it VERY sparingly, you are not making scratches disappear, you are just rounding the edges so they stop catching light and looking bright white! These cars only have about 0.1mm of clearcoat so you DO NOT want to break through. 1 second of wet sanding is at least as effective as 1 minute of polishing and the spot must always be followed up plenty of polishing to remove the cloudiness and restore shine.
@@herveadjamsodangbe2513 Orange peal removal requires some aggressive processes. Personally, unless you’re going to wet sand, you aren’t going to be doing much in terms of smoothing out the paint.
Hey Pan, I have a question unrelated to this video. I was watching a wash-clay-seal video recently and I was thinking if the sealants will do anything to the clay towel? Do I need to wash it in a specific way or the product doesn't interfear with the material?
Hi Ross! Products should arrive in the UK by end of October if all goes as planned. Stay tuned to The House Of Rags for availability updates, they will launch their UK website once products are in UK warehouses.
That’s likely because they have been sold out for a while. Fresh stock is coming in early next week so be sure to check the website as of Monday or Tuesday if all goes as planned. 👍🏻 Or you can always write to support@thehouseofrags.com to see if there’s a glitch on the website for your area. I know some people who had issues like you was because they were forcing the system to accept their address instead of selecting the one the website suggests.
@@haceeeta Any polish will have an effect. The palm sander will not be as effective as a more robust machine, but any time you are rotating polish on your paint you’re doing something. It’s just a matter of how far you wanna take things.
If you polish a ceramic coated car, you are essentially polishing off the coating. That said, if you are applying only a very light polish with very little pressure, you may be giving that coating a little bit of a boost. Does that make sense?
I wouldn’t recommend polishing a ceramic coated car as the mechanical abrasion will strip the coating or damage it. There is one polish that isn’t abrasive and can be used to mask some light scratches on coatings, and it’s CarPro Essence+ (not the regular Essence). If you use safe washing and drying methods, you shouldn’t have the need to repolish the car for a few years
Great video, now I know that my new tool can also polish. Sick! Because that DeWalt polisher is a little overpriced imo. Only thing is I got a palm sander as a gift (the DeWalt DCW210) to sand a car not polish it haha Apparently it’s possible? Saw a demo from Paint Society with a Black+Decker palm sander, thought that was neat. I’ve Been looking at the Eastwood SCT tool for a while now since I’m a complete newbie however, but I do wonder how this DeWalt will work.

It depends how bad the swirls and scratches are and how deep. You can do a test spot with tbe polish and see if it comes out to your satisfaction. If the answer is no, then you know that you first have to start with compounding the whole car, and then finish with the polish.

I actually have a DA polisher. But I don't have a whole lot of experience with it except on my personal cars. So I think I'm going to use this to polish my car. My scenario is, I am going to ceramic coat my 2021 vehicle. The paint is an excellent shape. So all I have to do it's just polish it before I ceramic coat it. I don't see why using one of these palm Sanders would be a bad idea for that. I just don't think I need a DA to do a one step polish before ceramic coating..
After polishing, don't forget to do the panel prep spray wipe to remove polishing oils and residue, before applying the coating. Welcome to my channel.

Once again you are giving me incentive to begin doing my own next step car care. I’m one of those worried about damaging the finish on my beloved three stage Soul Red Miata. I have matte black vinyl stripes on the hood and trunk. Will the polisher damage the stripes? Thanks again for all you do for us.
Hi Rick, I'm Alessandro, nice video that explains the correction of the painting, to remove the swirls, by chance can you give me this information, to restore the glass I saw a product on the internet with its Ceriglass pad, it could be good for the surface acrylic to bring it back shiny? Greetings from Italy and also regards to Pan the organizer and Diy detail...hello everyone take care👍🍁🇨🇦
@@diydetailofficial very true! I’m in Minnesota so I guess it only seems fitting! Hey just did an install on hydro lite… I had a fair amount left over, I take it that would be normal? Probably 2/3 of a bottle left. It was installed on a cx5 just the paint and trim. looking really good!!! I’m really impressed with the APP as well solid system.
Detailing has really taken off in Canada over recent years. Like Pan said, we deal with a lot of winter dirt and grime up here so that could be a huge contributing factor.
When I saw the channel name, I read it as “Pam the organizer”… so, pictured an older woman like… at the container store. The first shot of the video was… confusing to say the least.
Who’s Pam? I’m Pan. It’s pretty clear in the name of the channel and in my logo too. But if you misread and thought you were going to see Pam, that must have been a funny moment haha
I have a battery powered Bauer sander but it only has one speed I think the speed is upwards up to 10,000 rpm’s which I believe will definitely burn paint. I was so excited to buy polishing pads for my battery powered monster!! I believe I will be able to slow down the rpm’s with a router speed control dial but by that point I might as well buy the da short throw. What do you think of using the battery operated palm sander with no variable speed. ?

This is honestly perfect for a lot of us. Polishers are expensive and we’re probably gonna do it once or twice for our cars and then coat. Gonna try this very soon

They have rotary polishers at harbor freight for $35 that are pretty decent.
Oh man, was I excited to see this video pop up this morning. What a great chance to finally collaborate in a video with my long-time supporter, mentor and friend. Thanks for all the kind words regarding my videos and I just want to thank Pan and the DIY Detail team for allowing this middle-aged father from Western Canada to be a part of an amazing weekend.

Excellent collaboration Rick. It was a pleasure having the DIY Detail studio Radified.
Thanks for introducing the palm sander, Pan. Not too many instructional videos out there for this approach, especially that match your thoroughness.
Glad it was helpful!
I have heard about using an orbital sander before. What a difference here. Thanks Pan. Definitely gonna dip my toes now as a DIYer
@@PhilDiasPJD Cost is the major difference. It has less “throw” than a typical polisher but for an initial newbie, this may be a great option.

❤❤❤❤ this! VERY GLAD to see Pan giving a demo on using a palm sander!!! This will be my instrument of choice as I venture into machine polishing.
You are so welcome!
Great information from two of my favorite RUclips detailers, Pan and Rick! It just shows that a person at home that wishes to polish their vehicle with an existing tool, can obtain decent results with DIY Polish, a yellow waffle pad, and palm sander if you don't want to invest in the bigger or dedicated polishers! I actually have done this many many years ago before I had any dedicated polisher but pad choice was pretty limited but I was able to get it done and it was easier than doing it by hand back then. I used a liquid cleaner wax with mine back years ago and got decent results with it actually. I have quite a few polishers now of all sizes and types but it can be done. Like you guys said, this is a great "intro" into polishing with almost no chance of making a major mistake like burning through the paint. You really did get pretty good results for a very short working cycle/passes and that palm sander with only 3mm orbit. That polish must really be great! I'm going to have to try that in the future along with those yellow waffle pads. I have always liked polishing with waffle pads.
Thanks Joe!
Hey Joe! The gold standard polish and pad system is really effective.
Really, cool. I would have loved to have used a rotary sander for the first time. A cool and inexpensive way to start. A huge difference in optical clarity 👌
Thanks for watching!
Wow, that was a big difference for less than 100.00 bucks! Great walkthrough of how to do it!
Glad you enjoyed this Jason!
Sometimes the things that hold me back are way too many things to buy. I purchased your 3yr Ceramic coating by Pan. I have been agonizing on if I should even do this stage on a brand new vehicle. Now I know I will do this step, before applying the 3yr ceramic. Thanks so much!
🎶😎
A new car is never new until it's properly detailed.
- at the factory, the paint defects are often corrected quickly by rotary polishing which can leave marks and holograms, so polishing corrects those, before you lock that in long term with a ceramic coating for example.
- vehicles are then transported by truck, train and boat so they are exposed to the elements, industrial fallout, brake dust, rail dust, etc
- vehicles are often left at boat docks (when transported by boat) or in exterior parking lots for weeks or months, again being exposed to the elements
- at the dealership, the vehicles are almost always poorly prepped using the same dirty water that was used for all the cars on a given day, and poor washing and drying methods leading to swirls and scratches
- at the dealership, a layer of cheap wax or paint sealant is usually applied to attempt to make the paint glossy prior to delivery. It's crucial to remove any previous protection before you apply a ceramic coating, as coatings need to bond directly to a virgin clear coat.
If you only plan on applying a regular carnauba wax or paint sealant though, you could decide to skip machine polishing, as those protectants can be applied over existing protection and it's not as crucial to prep the paint as well.
I explain all of this in this popular video: ruclips.net/video/QgoyrC-5CMc/видео.html
So you can better visualize the new car prep process, here are the steps I perform on a brand new car for my customers:

Awesome!! I’m excited for you to try them! Let’s goooo! 🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I'm ngl I was hating but my order just came in for your clean shampoo and spray polish and I literally just washed my car with the shampoo first of all the scent YOU NAILED THIS. It's the best smelling scent I ever smelled. I followed your instructions of 1oz in a foam canon the suds are incredible imo you don't even need 2oz. Then the 2 oz in a bucket it's the most lubcriocous soap I have ever used. You sold me I'll be buying a gallon once it's back in stock imo soap of the year hands down.
Thanks for the positive feedback Thai. I appreciate it. It shows that you can still be objective while testing products.
Many of the people who were just hating and are now actually giving my products a try are rapidly realizing I wasn’t playing when I said they are actually excellent products we worked hard to develop.
So now the same people who were hating are apologizing, which is at least a sign of maturity.
People can have their opinion about me, I can’t be liked by everyone. Nobody can. But I don’t deserve to be mistreated the way some do. Luckily the majority of my 1+ million subscribers have support me and appreciate what I have been doing for the detailing community in the 8+ years I have been on RUclips.
But yeah thanks for sharing your experience and now that you know how those perform, I’m sure you’d love the entire lineup. Restock in the USA is happening next week. 👍🏻
Have a good night!
@@Thai.H That’s such positive feedback for my friend to hear. I can’t wait to get my hands on that stuff! I know it’s good.

@@Thai.H I’m patiently awaiting my Canadian order to arrive.
For the OCD who lives in my brain, that is far from perfect, but I GET IT 🙂 it's a nice color enhancement and for most people, it's more than enough.
Correct
this is awesome, i’m going to use my cheap HF palm sander to apply some wax on low speed setting
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the information! I started out using the Harbor Freight palm sander!
Thank you!
I applied Liquid Seal and Squeal by Lithium Car Care using a 5 inch cordless DeWalt Palm sander👌. I used a black finishing pad . It was quick and effortless 👀👌
@@davidboyce6427 Plus, it helps reduce the wear on an expensive polisher.
Good job boys 👌👌
Thanks Martin!!
Great info! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for keeping it real about the machine being loud in my opinion it's not worth it
@@irecruitfish7410 That’s one of the cheapest palm sanders you can find. I ended up with a Black n Decker model to apply the APP by C6 and it wasn’t too loud. But, a smooth Rupes machine (or similar) are way more expensive and they are much more refined. This is a realistic option for those not willing to jump right in.
Very cool great for starting out polishing it would be worth while to get one just for applying wax😊
Good point!
@@coreymerritt7742 With a nice black finish pad, or even the gold standard waffle pad. Very satisfying way to apply a wax. Much quicker and easier than by hand. Plus, why put unnecessary wear and tear on an expensive polisher?
Awesome video Pan! I was looking for cheaper ways to polish my car, i'm glad you came up with this video. I have 2 question though. Can i do more passes to further reduce the swirls and scratches? Also can i use this method to polish my windshield? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Yes and yes.
Great Video PTO, which machine best use with battery or cord?
Are you looking into buying a cordless polisher? Or one with a cord? Two completely different categories. Also, what is your budget? If you want the BEST, look into buying Rupes or Flex.
I would like to see a video for restoring headlights
Figures, I leave for Alberta in the morning, and you and Rick are in the States 😂

@@RADGarage but you're about 2 hours North of Lethbridge 😁

Hey pan, have you made a video about paint chip repairs? Or any advice to fix them DIY. Getting a few on the stang and want to fix them before I do the rest of the process. Thanks for the vid!
Good day Pan,
please do a comparison video between a Sokany garmet steamer 1800w or any other brand vs a steam cleaner of similar power. As a prospective detailer I would like to know if I should start with a garment steamer then later upgrade to a steam cleaner or I should just save money and buy steam cleaner.
Sending Love from eSwatini (Africa) ❤
Polish spray by Pan should be just as safe to use an effective as DIY polish ?
Yes absolutely.
Pantastic & radtastic = Fantastic lol
@@dandezz That’ll catch on.
💪🏻💪🏻🔥
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Mike
Hey buddy. My charger is at the detailers right this moment having your ceramic coat applied. I'll let you know in a few weeks how it looks.
Have a great weekend!
Awesome! I’m guessing they are reputable detailers and know what they’re doing? Hopefully they actually read and follow the instructions hehe.
But if they do, get ready to have beautiful results which will get better as the days go by and you reach peak slickness and gloss. And next time you wash your car, you will have amazing hydrophobic properties! 💦💦💦
Spider Webs and Squirrels is what I see Pan and Rick😂😂😂😂
You’re not alone
😂
Pan, where I can get the red gloves you use?
I use black nitrike gloves. These are just red as we were in Yvan’s shop in USA, he uses red gloves.
What's the maximum RPM or OPM you'd want the sander? I noticed some with really high like my orbital sander with 13,000 OPM.
With the short stroke it’s safe
Hey Pan, will this procedure and use of products remove an existing coating? Or would more need to be done to remove it? Thanks!!
Yeah polishing is the only way to ensure 100% removal of existing coatings. Once done, you use a panel prep spray to remove polishing oils and residue and then you apply the coating as per the instructions.
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan, one more question if I may....is it OK to also use this method on the gloss black plastic parts on the vehicle? I usually take my vehicle to the pro's for polishing and am excited to venture into this palm sander polishing myself. I ask these questions as I want to remove an existing coating on my vehicle as I just purchased your 8-year ceramic coating. Thank you!
Pan awesome tutorial question for you did you take your 2024 awards down if so how come?
The video was removed. After reading the feedback in the comments, there were a lot of people that were saying that I should not have included my line of products and the ones from Detail Co in the awards, as they are new to the market and not tested by the public yet.
When it was time to start prepping for the awards video, I asked myself the question: “Should I include my own products or not?” And I had decided to include them, because in my heart of hearts I knew how good they were since I had spent so much time on R&D and testing.
I had also been able to test a few Detail Co products ahead of launch to share my feedback with the owners, and I really enjoyed them. Hence why they were also included.
As people now started receiving their orders and started testing, independent reviews are popping up and show that my products perform to a very high level. I’ll let the products speak for themselves.

i’ve bought and used a palm sander just for applying c6 ceramics app. one thing that isn’t mentioned is that of you don’t have a long arm reach the palm sander is not fun to use on bigger vehicles. so if people don’t have the reach a palm sander may be a pain to use on hoods and roofs and you may end up leaning against your vehicle too much 😜🐿️💨
Some would argue for the rotary with the c6 app for extra gloss but you can hardly beat the convenience and ease of a palm sander
@@alexnetwork wouldn’t the rotary “work” the app too much???
and i would agree if i had a longer wingspan 😆 … an inexpensive 8 to 9mm short throw polisher with a longer body or handle is waaaaay better plus it can do some serious work when needed. use it on the lowest speed for the c6 app and working speeds for corrections 😜
@@FrankoDetails Pan and I are giants so we can’t relate!
I imagine a palm sander (at least the small ones) would wear you out quicker since you’re only using one hand to control them. A cheaper two-handed polisher might be a better option if you’re doing a larger vehicle.
It’s actually easier than you think
What if you only have one functional hand and you want to do some serious polishing. 2 stage. Can a hand sander be enough or should one look for a more heavy one hand held polisher? And if so, do they exist?
Many years ago when I was involved with car bodywork repairs, I recall the first DA (dual action) Sander the company purchased. It was pneumatic, you could mechanically lock the drive solid, similar to a rotary machine or switch it to random orbit mode. The name appears to have been carried over to random orbit polishers, without them actually being dual action. Obviously, I could be missing something here.
@@johnhopkins7614 There is truth to what you are saying. I’ve been in discussions with people about the correct terminology but I’m still not 100% certain about it. Perhaps Pan will chime in. Or Yvan.
Hi Pan! I'm a fan and enthusiast from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
I hope one day your brand will be available here too!
I have a question: My cars are primarily garage queens, and after washing and waxing my cars, I tend to cover them with microfiber covers (indoors). When I drive them after a day or two, the brakes make odd sounds for a mile or two. Now I can't drive to dry them off after washing because I live in a dusty city and they'll get dusty immediately.
Tried blow drying them but doesn't help. Any tips?
Keep it clean! Keep it tight!
Pan, can you review Icon Rocklear? Ceramic coating
I would love to see Pan investigate Icon Rocklear.
Hey Pan, great stuff! Can I use one of these Bauer machines to polish my glc 63 with carpro reflect polish?
Nice!
Thanks!
Forgive me if this was already asked...is doing the paint enhancement every 6 months before a paint sealant too frequent? I know wears down the clear coat.
Yes that is too often. If you use safe washing and drying methods, you shouldn’t have to polish your car often. I polish my new car when I take delivery and for the three years I own it, never have the need to repolish.
Hey Pan, interested in doing some touch up paint before a paint correction, do you have any videos or recommendations on this?
Yvan of DIY Detail recently did a barn find restoration, in part 2 he fills in some rock chips and gives solid advice. You can skip through the video to the paint touchup stage and it's got a lot of info jam packed into just a few mins.
I will definitely try this with my DeWalt Palm Sander! Just one question: remove the brake, it has to be free spinning? Can you clarify @Pan @Rick? I'm not sure what to do...
Remove the backing plate, when off you will see something that prevents the backing plate or spindle from free spinning. Remove it, replace the backing plate, and start Polishing.
@@diydetailofficial why does it have to be free spinning? Can't you just lift the sander away from the paint? Sorry, polisher noob here 😀 Thnx!
For a palm sander it has to be free spinning, so like Yvan said you have to remove the brake.
I'm Here As Well 👌
👍🏻👍🏻
Hello Pan , so I got a new Equinox on the 8th of August , I want to put you’re 8 year ceramic coating , what would be the steps and I would need to buy a polishing tool so what would your suggestion be a palm sander like this or a polisher but don’t want to spend 700$ on it . Congrats by the way 😊
Palm sander is fine. General process:
Fill all paint chips first and give the paint at least a week to cure. Then do a thorough wash and dry, then soak the car again with a garden hose or pressure washer and do a synthetic clay bar towel treatment using iron remover spray as a clay lube, (ensure car stays wet entire time, maybe do on a cloudy or rainy day; 1 spray on the towel and 1 spray on the panel, glide it super gently on the panel so you do not scratch til all roughness goes away in every spot, but practice by doing the windows first as they do not scratch; dunk the towel in rinseless wash after every panel, shake it out, and re-apply a squirt of iron remover to it then a squirt on the panel). Rinse off before it dries, do a water spot remover treatment which is similar process but with a wet microfiber towel, rinse again, then another light wash with rinseless wash to get rid of all the tap water. Then you do paint correction with wet sandpaper for bad scratches, polish that spot to remove the wet sanding cloudiness, then do a full polish, then do a panel prep or somehow remove all polish residue before you lock it in with a coating. I use 3M Trizact 3000 grit for wet sanding. You want to do it VERY sparingly, you are not making scratches disappear, you are just rounding the edges so they stop catching light and looking bright white! These cars only have about 0.1mm of clearcoat so you DO NOT want to break through. 1 second of wet sanding is at least as effective as 1 minute of polishing and the spot must always be followed up plenty of polishing to remove the cloudiness and restore shine.

Could we use this sander to remove orange peel ?
Not the best tool for the job
@@herveadjamsodangbe2513 Orange peal removal requires some aggressive processes. Personally, unless you’re going to wet sand, you aren’t going to be doing much in terms of smoothing out the paint.
Nice
Thanks!
Hey Pan, I have a question unrelated to this video. I was watching a wash-clay-seal video recently and I was thinking if the sealants will do anything to the clay towel? Do I need to wash it in a specific way or the product doesn't interfear with the material?
No just rinse thoroughly after use and you’re fine. Every now and then you can use a bit of APC to clean the surface and thoroughly rinse.
Pro tip: remove the brake pad…..it allows the sander to rotate freely and with enough force that it won’t stall.
Some palm sanders are free spinning. But, for those that aren't, you do have to remove the brake pad.
@@RADGarage removing the brake pad allows for less stalling? Not sure why you need to do this...and are most brake pads similar?
How cool to see you in the DIY housseeeeeee!!!!!! lol 🙌
We had a lot of fun with Yvan, his wife Sylvie, Nick, Rick from RAD Garage, Cars with Keav and Brian from FAB Automotive Detailing!

@@PanTheOrganizer Great.. Cheers Pan
Hello my friend I’ve been trying to order some of your products here in nj but it constantly says no shipping available in my area
That’s likely because they have been sold out for a while. Fresh stock is coming in early next week so be sure to check the website as of Monday or Tuesday if all goes as planned. 👍🏻
Or you can always write to support@thehouseofrags.com to see if there’s a glitch on the website for your area.
I know some people who had issues like you was because they were forcing the system to accept their address instead of selecting the one the website suggests.
Does the pad stick to any random orbital sander or do you need a special attachment? Cheers
The backing plate of the orbital sander must be the “hook and loop” style like any machine polisher has.
@PanTheOrganizer thanks!
I wonder if this method would be safe with TW HS ceramic acrylic polish and/or wax
Definitely with the waffle pads
@@haceeeta Any polish will have an effect. The palm sander will not be as effective as a more robust machine, but any time you are rotating polish on your paint you’re doing something. It’s just a matter of how far you wanna take things.
If vehicle has ceramic coating should you polish at all?
If you polish a ceramic coated car, you are essentially polishing off the coating. That said, if you are applying only a very light polish with very little pressure, you may be giving that coating a little bit of a boost. Does that make sense?
@@RADGarage yes - many thanks
I wouldn’t recommend polishing a ceramic coated car as the mechanical abrasion will strip the coating or damage it.
There is one polish that isn’t abrasive and can be used to mask some light scratches on coatings, and it’s CarPro Essence+ (not the regular Essence).
If you use safe washing and drying methods, you shouldn’t have the need to repolish the car for a few years
@@PanTheOrganizer many thanks!

I admit, I was surprised it was as effective as it was.
Great video, now I know that my new tool can also polish. Sick! Because that DeWalt polisher is a little overpriced imo. Only thing is I got a palm sander as a gift (the DeWalt DCW210) to sand a car not polish it haha Apparently it’s possible? Saw a demo from Paint Society with a Black+Decker palm sander, thought that was neat. I’ve Been looking at the Eastwood SCT tool for a while now since I’m a complete newbie however, but I do wonder how this DeWalt will work.

You used one squirt for a small area. How many squirts to do larger areas?
One or two sprays for a section. You really don’t need much.
@@PanTheOrganizer so like half of the hood?
Yes
I have meguiar's ultimate polish, is it enough or do I need a compound?
It depends how bad the swirls and scratches are and how deep. You can do a test spot with tbe polish and see if it comes out to your satisfaction. If the answer is no, then you know that you first have to start with compounding the whole car, and then finish with the polish.

Why not wetsand with 5000 grit with that same DA, compound and polish…
I actually have a DA polisher. But I don't have a whole lot of experience with it except on my personal cars. So I think I'm going to use this to polish my car. My scenario is, I am going to ceramic coat my 2021 vehicle. The paint is an excellent shape. So all I have to do it's just polish it before I ceramic coat it. I don't see why using one of these palm Sanders would be a bad idea for that. I just don't think I need a DA to do a one step polish before ceramic coating..
After polishing, don't forget to do the panel prep spray wipe to remove polishing oils and residue, before applying the coating.

Hi Rick, I'm Alessandro, nice video that explains the correction of the painting, to remove the swirls, by chance can you give me this information, to restore the glass I saw a product on the internet with its Ceriglass pad, it could be good for the surface acrylic to bring it back shiny? Greetings from Italy and also regards to Pan the organizer and Diy detail...hello everyone take care👍🍁🇨🇦
I have a glass polishing tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/yMi5PtyqUI8/видео.htmlsi=9K-j1msSVvuF9cOG
Hi Alessandro, I hope Pan's suggestion gave you the information you were looking for.
Why does it seem like everyone in the detail space is from Canada or lives in the northern tier of states… 😂
We like clean cars, and they get very dirty in the winter, so we need to learn how to clean them.
@@diydetailofficial very true! I’m in Minnesota so I guess it only seems fitting! Hey just did an install on hydro lite… I had a fair amount left over, I take it that would be normal? Probably 2/3 of a bottle left. It was installed on a cx5 just the paint and trim. looking really good!!! I’m really impressed with the APP as well solid system.
Detailing has really taken off in Canada over recent years. Like Pan said, we deal with a lot of winter dirt and grime up here so that could be a huge contributing factor.
@@karlf2378Thank you.
When I saw the channel name, I read it as “Pam the organizer”… so, pictured an older woman like… at the container store. The first shot of the video was… confusing to say the least.
Who’s Pam? I’m Pan. It’s pretty clear in the name of the channel and in my logo too.
But if you misread and thought you were going to see Pam, that must have been a funny moment haha
First!!

I have a battery powered Bauer sander but it only has one speed I think the speed is upwards up to 10,000 rpm’s which I believe will definitely burn paint. I was so excited to buy polishing pads for my battery powered monster!! I believe I will be able to slow down the rpm’s with a router speed control dial but by that point I might as well buy the da short throw. What do you think of using the battery operated palm sander with no variable speed. ?
