car polishing at home - Авто/Мото
cant wait to buy a buffer/polisher thats where im gonna have fun
Great Job... best regards from Poland Staufer
That Milwaukee polisher is just on another level!!
you dont need mega expensive polishers
a good mid range will perform the same outcome
Great content! Thanks!
Great stuff learned a lot..
love your demo, great pacing, pleasant voice, direct info, mahalo!
Glad you liked it!
nice detail with details
Love the video!
I still love the Meguiar's offerings. I tend to reach for the Ultimate line. They've been a faithful ally for years.
Wow thank you that's the best class
I have used Maguires for years. 👍
Thanks for the instruction! Could I get a link for your Milwaukee polisher in the video?
Good morning
I have a question, what's the best way to remove ceramic from a recent ceramic coating car.
Thank you in advance and as always great job.
Nice1..Stuff & thank u
Great video question are u using alcohol mixed with water or just alcohol
After the hard cut polish, do you spray it with the first solution?( the one used with the clay ) or do you simply use the water and soap solution?
Liked and subbed. Good work
Thanks for the sub!
Hi I'm thinking of starting to machine polish my own vehicles at home and deciding what machine ect to start with. Being a painter and decorator I own a makita BO6050J sanding machine which gives you options of both sanding styles including random, my question is could I by the polishing plate for it and use it on my vehicles instead of buying a new machine ? TIA
I have a question I got a 2019 beige crv Interior with some kind of mold it won’t budge with oxi clean or a degreaser in the shampoo process should I go in with a steamer
good video , thanks
Glad you liked it!
Awesome 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
whats that block you used to apply the ceramic
Best detailing channel out there. Still learning something new which fits my workflow. Keep it up
I appreciate that!
Great video! Especially for beginners like me. Thank you…
Glad it was helpful! Please share it if you can!
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I noticed you started at a low speed and then raised it. What speed setting should we start out on and then not exceed?
Did not see a link for the Milwaukee DA.
Mate im interested to open a detailing car wash and i want to know what kind of tools do i need all of them so if it is possible somewhere u to tell me what do i need i would appreciate that a lot
I have a orbital polisher, will this work too?
My car is ceramic coated a year ago
I found some hard water spot and scratches
Is it okay to polish it?
How is the decontamination stage before polishing?
My car is black so i cant tell if theres a tar or iron dust?
But i can feel sands texture on the lower door panels
I keep getting holograms, i just have a regular orbital buffer. Do i need to buy DAUL ACTION polisher to get rid of all the buffer trails??
New subscriber here.
Can you give me some info about that Milwaukee polisher. Would like to get one.
How long would it take to polish per section?
what speed do you use while polsihing
great video, perfectly explained - one question, can you re-use the polishing pads afterwards? oh and how much pressure are you applying when using the polishing machine? sorry that was two Qs hehehe
im positive that you can use them again if you wash them properly, also you should apply a little bit of pressure not a lot, you want the machine to hug the vehicle not drill into the paint
I always love before/after shots, and they're really striking in this video. Plus, I'd never heard the word "flash" used in this sense (9:23). I like when a video expands my vocabulary.
Happy to help!
Could you please let me know what speed I should be using for polish and compound? Also how many passes?
You should do a 3x3 pad area. Usually no higher than 3 for speed. After priming pad use 3 to 4 dots of compound.
What rpm used for cut and polish
I have just a polisher i used on gell coat on boats. So this my tool. Never done a car
Synthetic clay towels are fantastic and take a fraction of the time compared to clay bars, in my opinion.
What kind of pad did he use for the polisher?
Sorry when you say one pad per four panels does that mean dispose of the pad or does it go through a thorough cleaning and can be reintroduced?
I hadn’t considered that pads need go bad that quickly
Clean and reuse.
Do I have to use a clay bar to detail a 5 month's new black car. Thank you!
Always claybar before attempting any machine polishing. Even with my Dad's 2021 charger with virtually no miles on it at first, it has a tough feel to it in very select spots. You'll always know why to claybar by running your hand across the paint and feeling for that rough, gritty texture in place of the supposed smooth paint feel.
TLDR: Claybar it for the safety of your paint and for that extra safety buffer.
Good video I am having a hard time to find the right pads, please somebody
After use clay bar do I need to wash the car or no???
Was hoping for more actual information on how to perform the polishing. No mention of pressure, speeds, techniques, etc. There really wasn't much teaching going on in here
That’s not his forte you can tell whenever he polishes a car that he doesn’t have the technique or skills of a high level detailer when it comes to paint correction. He’s good on interiors though.
I was thinking the same thing. Not very helpful for beginners and lots of questions unanswered …
Yeah I would definitely recommend training videos from ammo NYC who are truly specialists at what they do and you will learn a ton. There’s a lot of info there, so you have to want to learn. But he goes over absolutely everything and doesn’t leave any stone unturned.
Same. I wish there was a 20-30 minute video with an idiots guide. So many pads and polish, when to use what, what speed, and so on
I think he was trying to save time on the video, did you check the vid he linked to that showed the whole polishing
Process? I didn't check it out yet, just noticed everyone calling him out
When polishing with the buffer, do you just keep going until most of the polish has "dried up and disappeared? Then you use the microfiber?
You go till the polish is translucent
Question: What's the best way to "rechrome" that plastic chrome trim? Is it possible?
look up chrome polish by Mothers or one called Blue Magic, there are many kinds and specially formulated to restore chrome trim.
I mean geez thats a sexy garage in the youtube Thumbnail lol! How about throw us a complimentary tag for the awesome Edge garage supra :P ? Let me know if you need any help or advice with your detailing or paint correction too ;) Love, the owner of the supra and garage in your photo
Grrat video! Do you throw away the pads that you have used on 4 panels? Or you just clean them and let them cool down?
Clean them and let them dry. Can be reused a lot of times.
@@michelfortin7055 thank you, I now have read more about the pads and know more of how they are cleaned and maintained. I realize that my question was very basic. :)
Should tell us what speed ur starting at or using
But overall great vid.
I have a griots G9 on the way in mail do you recommend that one for a beginner which i am
I think it will work great! As you get better at it, upgrade
What speed on that DA are you using?
step 1: compund paste speed 3-4 for removing deeper scratches paired with slow movement on the panel. step 2: polish paste speed 2 and faster movement on the panel.
1 crucial step you missed:
Using a paint depth reader. I didn't know a customer's case had very low coating thickness and when I cut it, it went straight to the paint and beyond by the 2nd pass. I'll never compound a car again until I measure its clear coat thickness
Appreciate you sharing this!
👏🏼👍🏻
Should you apply a wax coating on top of the ceramic?
Never
Nooooooo!!
How much does a work like this normally cost?
I just got a Milwaukee polisher, it isn’t random orbital. Can I achieve the same result using it?
Better results but don’t burn your paint since you have a rotary polisher
can you do this outside or does it have to be inside a garage?
You can donthis outside in a shaded area. Never in direct sunlight or to a hot car.
What are your tips for polishing over PPF, or can you even do that?
It probably won't do much since it's a plastic layer and not clear coat, a heat gun might do a better job but idk I've never worked with ppf
Would have been nice to see how those deep scratches came out….. I’m guessing they are still visible just less visible.
I am buffing my neglected Audi I picked up and the paint looks a lot better but I wish the scratches came out better.
A lot of detailing channels give you the impression the cars look like new after buffing.
Deep scratches like that don’t “come out.” You’d need to fill them as they’re through every layer of paint and clear coat.
@@allenzelt4481- Exactly.
And to the OP, you don't want to remove them because doing so removes too much paint from that localized area.
Most of the videos I watch about detailing the vehicle is good but I have yet to find a video that speaks about the exact order from beginning to end… Do I wash the car first? If so can I apply wax right away? Wait a day to ensure car is dry? Should I use clay bar before/ after I washed vhicle?
First wash the car, then use a chemical iron remover like Carpro Iron X, then use a clay bar, then polish if needed. The wax or nano protection is the final step. Never do any of these in direct sunlight.
Thanks for the DIY video, now how much can I pay you to do this to my SUV 😂
Okay, FIRST OFF, beginners are not going to have all those different sized polishers!
He does say any budget orbital would work
Xin chào!
Tôi rất vui khi khi thấy video của anh, đã rất lâu rồi, tôi mới thấy anh làm tip đánh bóng ô tô.
Tip của anh rất hay. Sẵng đây anh có thể cho tôi biết thêm về pad anh dùng ở video trên không? Tôi sẽ rất vui nếu được biết!
Cảm ơn!
Hello! I'm very happy to see your video, it's been a long time since I saw you doing car polishing tips. Your advice is very good. Can you tell me more about the pad you used in the video above? I would be happy to know! Thank!
Don't you need to use alcohol or some kind of chemical to wash the car first to remove old wax? I've seen other channels do that first before starting to polish/cut.
Yes, you'll want to do a full wash of the car and Iron decontamination before the clay phase. Use a stripping car wash/shampoo specific to removing old waxes/sealants/coatings. Depending on how recent your last wax was, it may take a couple runs, but there should be no remaining beading of water on the car before applying the new coating. You don't use alcohol until after polishing.
Hey Stauffer,
How long do you Polish? 10? 15 minutes or more with the finish cut?
I just want to make sure because I feel if you go to long you’ll go to deep or mess up the Polishing.
Great video as always and appreciate it.
The danger of going too long is the heat buildup. It can seriously mess up the paint if it heats up too much. You also don't want to remove too much of the clear coat protecting the paint. You want to remove just enough to remove the imperfections, no more.
Iron remover before clay bar?
Yep
I have a lot of fine scratches all over my car as well does car covers make those scratches as well I'm kind of thinking that's what happened with my car the car is 3 years old what do you think
It might be that you put the cover on a dirty car. If that's the case, there's a good chance that it was simply dirt on the car that got rubbed into the clear coat when you put the cover on. But it could be the cover itself. I've had this happen to me with my brand new 2012 Jaguar. Back then, I bought the cover from the Jaguar dealership, it was made by Jaguar but it still scratched the car even though I thoroughly washed it before using the cover. Never used it again.
Lol the guy who is pronouncing country to county telling you Cerakote is the best coating on the market. You do the math
Whats the best then?
Wear sweatpants or shorts with no metal buttons or belt
I love the harbor freight palm polisher better
an hour to clay bar? Are you detailing a bus?
And how do you know when you need to apply more coating to the pad?
That’s a lot of work and I see why detail is charged so much money now I understand and it’s worth the price that they charge. Geez, that’s a lot of work.
Where u from
Ok, keep your secrets Gandalf
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
I never heard of “Lake County” 😂 Are you sure about that?
good ol lake country lol
Every one just go to griots garage
You don't polish paint, you polish Laquire!!!
Won't work for me I've got rust on my car
If you want to polish your car just say "kurwa" inside every time something happens on the road.
Dude seems pretty simple why do they want like $2K to do this ? For a car
Sorry if this is for beginners I will never wax my car LOL. To effing hard
Cross hatching is useless and overrated in polishing, and when you apply a ceramic, that means you're wasting time IMO, plus that cross hatch means you're consuming more ceramic which is pointless. Another point that I'm trying to make is that cutting foam pads is useless when you have a microfiber pad. Foam pads are just for very light cutting or finishing.
Goddamn that flashlight is an overpriced POS. You can get a way fancier color changing flashlight than that for the price. I hate how they get away with crazy markups by just pretending to make something uniquely suited to one niche demographic/interests/profession etc.
Great video though wish there was more info in the middle parts
You don't explain pressure and technique with the machine....on to someone else...
Whenever I see people rub the pad across paint when the machine is off I cringe .
I cringe too.
1 pad = 4 doors ? Rich stuff. I use mine on at least 3 full cars till it starts to disintegrate .
I don’t think he’s saying the pads are no longer good. It’s more so that the pad is completely dirty and will need a good cleaning. At least that’s what I do.
@@howboutdemjets5092 in that case i clean mine at least 2x per door...
You’re not even polishing in that thumbnail😂
Way too many products. Overwhelming.
NEVER NEVER USE A BUFFER ON A CAR...NEVER..
I want my 10 minutes and 3 seconds back.
Fail 👎🏼
lol why chief? What did you not get out of a video that you clicked on about polishing?
@@StaufferGaragemost likely he was looking for in-depth how to polishing on your channel, e.g.,
- pad flatness
- addressing hard/soft clear
- importance of a test spot to determine pad & compound combination
- explanation of # of passes, speed of passes, pressure applied
- clearer explanation of polishing; it’s too vague. Discuss paint enhancement, 1 step, or in your case a 2 step. Why one will choose each step. Level of cut or paint defect you are trying to remove based on personal goals or customer needs
- how many pads are needed for larger vehicles
- alternative to cleaning out pads via forced air
- how to polish tight areas & hard to reach areas
- checking progress after each panel or pass
This is not thorough “how to” more of a demonstration. Why not include a video to a thorough explanation from another RUclipsr? Direct your audience to to a better avenue
Good job dude 🫡🫡🫶 ¡thank you so much. I will do on my car 🚗! 👍👍👍
