Soo I've been stupidly taking my new black Durango to the new auto carwash up the street cause it's convenient. but now all I see is swirls galore and whatever wax coating (lava shield is what they call it) is visible on the glass so im sure it's thick across the whole vehicle... Any words of wisdom to remove this crap so I can compound and polish the swirls out? Planning on ceramic coating it when I get it all cut and clean... Awesome vid btw it's giving me alot of confidence in a harbor freight DA and my ability... TIA for any advice!
Hey brother super happy to see you trying to take care of your Durango! I would do a full decon wash with a strip wash like purple power vehicle & boat wash. After that complete claying the vehicle and follow up with an IPA wipe down with the dilution provided in this video: ruclips.net/video/mdmfd05aX3c/видео.html after that you'll be pretty much set to go to polish! If you have any more questions just ask!
just go to a touches car wash and then use a Worx or Ego leaf blower to dry it.
Great video man!!
@@48Detailing I'll second this comment, Purple Power is what we use to strip cars and it's cheap.
CarNewba Detailing wouldn’t you use IPA after polishing to remove excess residue? Didn’t think doing it before would be necessary
1. wash - washes off surface dirt
2. clay - gets off embedded dirt in paint
3. compound - gets out big scratches and very dull paint (can be skipped if car has smaller scratches and newer paint)
4. polish - makes the car shine
5. wax - protects the car paint
Where would a ceramic and selant fit in this order
MERKULES 187 between 4 and 5 when the scratches come off the car. The wax is a sealant too, it just doesn’t last as long as ceramic so you’re basically trading one for another
Thanks😅
What's the best cheap polish, scratch out? I'm working on a guitar that I painted and using m85 diamond cut compound.
Don't forget Iron removal before you polish and seal.
Just purchased a black car. I knew it would be a lot of work, but I've been reading and studying up on detailing for the better part of a year before I try to remove the swirls. The amount of knowledge you can accumulate on something seemingly as simple as cleaning a car is staggering.
The truth! I've spent years learning the craft & I still learn something new on the regular!
Just sold my 1st & only black car , too much trouble !!
I've been learning and trying products over the last couple years, detailing my truck. The tip you gave about always wiping in one direction was something that I didn't know. All this time I have been wiping in a circular motion and undoubtedly undoing some of the work that I've been doing. Thanks
BY FAR....the BEST paint correction/instructional videos on RUclips.....so many spend the video building monuments to THEIR skills. So refreshing to encounter some humility and some appreciate for "everyman"....I'm subscribing RIGHT now....hoping for similar experiences. Thank you.
I’ve watched your video multiple times. It has made it easier for me to get my show truck, cleaned up and stand out. Thank you
That was a great explanation of how to polish paint! thank you for all the info.
Now all I need is some better weather and I can try this on my car... Can't wait to try this!
This video answered all my basic questions I had about prepping the paint, buffer machine, and saving myself time working the paint. Thank you for all the info...
No problem subscribe for more!
Thank you for saying "gals" because I am a grandma getting ready to tackle an older Subaru, with your help. Like another commenter, I have watched multiple videos on this but yours gives more detailed content and more visuals. THANKS MUCH.
No problem glad it helps!
Great video. I can't tell you how many times I stood in Harbor Freight and tried to determine what I needed to polish our cars. This video explained it all. Thanks!!!
I finally found a video where they dont skip the product and how they do it, thank you man 🙏🏻
No problem! Glad you enjoyed, subscribe for more!
Great instructional video simplifying the necessary products needed to do a great job on personal vehicles...without “pushing“ overpriced products down your throat. Thanks!
Been creating my own anxieties over cutting and buffing my Corvette. I come from all hand-everything as I am older but, being 45, I am not too old to want to make things easier.
I have used this exact setup on an old Miata and it was flawless. I assumed that my Corvette needed something magical and was about to pull the trigger on Rupes gear, or even Griott's setups. It isn't about the money but I kept remembering the Harbor Freight DA and looked it up on YT. When I found this video I knew that was my path. You relieved my woes as I know that my Corvette isn't "that special" to where a DIY'er needs a Rupes setup. Yes I love my car but I am not about that life. I want to get the 19 year old paint bright and swirl free and this will be the path.
Thanks for making me remember I can do anything without spending the $$$ on top tier stuff.
Love it! Glad you found the confidence to tackle your corvette within reasonable means. Good luck with the detail!
Noticeable difference, I'm so HAPPY that someone can finally explain every step completely. TTHANKS SO MUCH!!!!!! I will try that.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you explaining the basic without overdoing it. Especially for a beginner like me it’s important to keep it simple but essential. So many people explain but are getting too expert minded or too simple with a lot of questions left. In addition, you take the time to answer questions and provide further insight if needed. Thank you so much for your time and efforts! Now, I am going to tackle my 20 year old S500....not that have to but I am looking forward to the process. Should be quite an experience with a deep burgundy almost black metallic paint which I thought looks decent but have been shown that it can be improved significantly. Keep up the excellent work. I’ll be watching !
No problem! Glad I could help! Good luck with your S500!
Totally agree, it’s an excellent video, well explained and easy to follow. Im very thankful for the video.
Best video I've watched on this topic out of 8 or 10 of them. Thank you so much!
Super glad you enjoyed!
After hours of video watching I stumbled on your video. Best basic guidelines for beginner so I feel more confident to tackle the job. Thank you so much.
Thank you for including us girls!!! We love detailing just as much as you guys do to! so yeah you are the first one to include us.
He may have picked that up from The Junk Man, top RUclips detailer of all time.He is inclusive :-) Starts off all his videos with " Well Boys and girls..."
Dude your explanation was just on point…you did a fantastic job I’m going out to get my car prepped and waxed my self because you broke it down so perfect in the vid…thanks from LA,CA
My 08 Kia Rio was the first car I polished. Great car to learn on and the results I got were pretty good. As a total noob I'd like to say that you need to set aside a few days to do this. It took me a lot longer than I thought.
Wow, this was a great video man! Subscribed! Keep up the good work!
Great simple video for beginners. Just bought a DA polisher and wanted some info to get started so I could spruce up the paint on my truck and cars. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Yes please do a video on replacing the three bearings. Thank you.
I am also working in attending car detailing yes I am using Polish muguairs
Meguiars is best Polish I am working in Bahrain last 4years
Thanks so much ❤️ I have been trying to get the gloss and shine back on my scion and have been failing . Your video helped me get the results I'v been wanting so again thanks.
Dude this is the video i needed to watch, I have been so confused about the products out there and the steps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Cannot wait to try it out with the harbor freight DA polisher I bought!
So happy you enjoyed the video and got something out of it! Make sure to subscribe for my latest car detailing tips and tricks! New videos every week! 🙏
This is a great polisher, but if you pair it with a 5" backing plate and 5" pads more power is applied to the paint surface with phenomenal results!!!!!! backing plate is removed easily with the tool that comes with it.
0p
Thanks for the video, mate! You made it look super easy.
Thank you for starting on the ground level. Paint/detail 101. You need to teach the basics and you did a fine job.
Just the video I was looking for! Thanks for the demo and in depth process. A+ man!
Wow you make it look so easy. Love it! Thanks.
Bud can I just say I’ve watched a hundred prep videos and you are THA MAN! Finally I get answers on clay bar scratches. My Range Rover is all kinds of scratched from the clay bar and I thought I screwed up majorly. Your are my hero.
Thank you, very detailed. Feeling confident about trying something new
very good instructional video ik im late to view, but through my career i have found that shorter choppy motions when clay baring does a bit better than those long strokes👍🏼
Dude, this was awesome! Thank you.
it is my perfect combination for all my works .. excellent video
Best video extra detail taken. No one else talks paint prep.
Great video, everything well explained. Got out of a lot of doubts. Awesome, subscribed.
Thank you! Great instruction! I learned a lot.
Great videos. Excellent vocabulary and sentence phrasing. Hell! What do I know, I was an auto shop major in da early 60’s.
Perfect! Been reviewing vids for this and this one is it! Subscribed, liked and commented! Am going to buy and do all that! Also Dr Colorchip.
Going to practice on my 2001 pearl white Toy Solara and then move on to wife's 2012 Barcelona Red Prius!
Sounds like a blast! Have fun with it and good luck!
Okay, I purchased claybar, the same Chicago DA Polisher, 6" Bauer backing pad, orange, blue and black foam pads. I got the M 205. My questions; I didn't get 105 because I'm so new. Instead I got M83, a dual action cleaner/polish. Is that like a 'One step'? Will that do if used with orange and blue pads? Thanks again.
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Subscribed!!!💯
Exactly the sort of video I was needing. I have had Megs 105/205 for about a year, not really knowing what to do. Thanks from Australia!
Great video and step by step for us beginners.. thanks for taking the time.
No problem my friend glad you enjoyed!
The Chicago Orbital Polisher from Harbor Freight has a reasonably serious flaw that needs to be addressed after its purchase.
Sometime back, I saw a You Tube on this unit and it clearly made points that the purchaser should check for three manufacturing flaws: 1). Check the brush assembly. One of the two brush sets will not be correctly seated. 2). The gear housing will not have adequate lubrication in it. 3). The 5" pad adapter was out of balance.
Since I didn't believe what I was hearing at the time, I cracked open my Chicago Polisher tool. Results: The You Tuber was absolutely correct. I found all of the stated deficiencies in mine as well. So unless I wanted to toss $65 in the garbage after a few uses, I got busy.
Re-seating the brush assembly was easy. Checking the gear housing lubrication was harder. This will require removing the plastic cover (not the handle/body assembly) and then accessing the gear housing by removing the screws (not easy - you'll see why). Item # 3 was remediated by discarding the pad adapter and buying a quality replacement.
What I found inside the gear housing was a little dab (I mean a LITTLE spot) of cheap heavy lube grease placed in a location where it would do absolutely no good. After a quick cleaning, I completely filled the reservoir with a high quality white lithium grease. I tried testing the polisher out after reassembly.
After about three minutes, the sound level of the polisher dropped by about 20%. Vibration dropped by about 30%. No wonder I guess .. a little lubrication goes a long way. I now have a durable tool to last quite some time and it has performed very, very well on our three autos.
Just thought I'd pass that along.
This Arizona girl is about to get water spots out of some paint and windows. I’ve been brushing up on some videos I had saved, and this is a good one! 🙂 Thank you for including us women in the conversation as well.
Great video! Thanks for all the good info and you’re pretty funny I was laughing quite a bit lol one love !
I recently picked up a bunch of detailing products clay bar etc. including a DA polisher and I gave it a go today did the hood and right front fender with meguiars ultimate compound then polish. Never used a polisher before so I tried doing what you do in the vid. There were still alot of swirl marks but the black is now metallic and sparkly Ive never seen it better. Thanks for the vid mate.
If you’re getting a lot of swirl marks you can try doing a second pass with the compound.
You need to watch karate kid " wax on wax off " lol
I pee’d on my hood. It didn’t work at all, so I washed it. It looks better now.Maybe there really is something to peeing on your cars hood before you wash it.
Wonderful content, and thanks for taking your valuable time to share!!!!
Thank you for watching! All the support is really appreciated! If you did like the video make sure the leave a thumbs-up and subscribe!
I wish I has seen this video before I did my first buffing attempt on my Firebird convertible. My mistake was I started it up with the pad full of polish and it was not against the body of the car. I got polish all over my black convertible top. Live and learn
Awesome video and introduction to a quality finish and sustaining it. I would just like to add that after all that hard work 1 or 2 cycles through an automatic car wash will completely destroy it and you will once again be covered with swirl marks. Also, my car has full PPF on the front end and full ceramic coating. One time getting rained on and then sitting outside at the airport for a couple days in SLC, UT my entire car is covered in hard water spots that won't come off. Wash and clay bar had no effect, I now need to redo the paint correction on the entire car, I feel the ceramic coating was an entire waste of money.
great detailed explanation that answered a lot of questions..... thanks!!
The older Harbor Freight D.A. is a better unit,in my opinion....I tried both and the older unit is built much better...I modded mine to and relocated the on/off button to the top for better control,decked the gear box housing for a better mesh,swapped the spindle bearings and use a 3m backing plate....these $60 harbor freight DA's outperform $300 polishers...great units and I highly recommend them,especially if you can get your hands on the older model....👍great vid...I'm getting ready to do my 2016 shaow black f150 supercrew for the 2nd time..last time was 2 yrs ago..took about 30-40hrs and killed my arms,but the results lasted forever... its time again though...came out perfect last time,but want to see if there is any other steps I missed the first time,which was a 5 step..Basically,I clayed,then compounded with the red pad,then stepped to a medium cut with the blue and fine polished with the black pad..used the mequiers ultimate line,except for my medium cut(#5 cut),which was mequier professional fine cut glaze..then topped it with mequiers ultimate liquid wax/sealant....I wasn't a fan of the wax though,as it streaked really bad and was a mission to remove....I think im going to use the mequiers carnauba paste wax this time
Great video. I liked the idea of priming the pad. Thanks
Very insightful and great video !!! Can you please tell me when (or how often) this polishing process needs to be done w/o damaging the clear coat. I just got a new car 3 months back and haven't been to any car wash yet . Thanks
Very helpful video for a detailing newbie, thanks.
No problem Eddie! Glad you enjoyed, remember to subscribe for more!
Love that you say “guys and gals” because this gal is fixing peeled clear coat on my car and it has an orange peel affect right now so needed to learn how to compound it and make it shine! Thanks....gotta buy a DA now and Meguire’s products......
Love our female detailers!!!
I am a newbie and trying very hard to fix my peeling clear coat on my 2005 Honda....I need Help, I sanded the clear coat and actually peeled it off on my roof....then I used Dupli spray paint to make but stupidly I removed the white sprayer thinking it was a plug so the paint was not real smooth...I did sand a bit (didn’t know it should have been wet sanding) anyway I then sprayed their clear coat (3 coats) it is kinda rough and orange peel. I now did wet sanding and ,definitely smoother...my question, should I spray more clear coat or use my DA that I just bought and compound it and then wax it .or what? Btw, I bought Meguires 105 and 205....thanks for any help..
After your done sanding just move on to compounding and polishing. If you spray more clear your gonna double coat and it won’t properly bond to the surface
CarNewba Detailing Thank you so much...my fingers are crossed
You offer lots of good details for comprehensive instruction. Thanks for the video.
Great job, very comprehensive!
I tried using a DA polisher and its slower than the second coming of christ, the Rotary at Harbor Freight (advertised for 29 bucks) works very well for the money. I did buy a 5-inch backing plate and use 6-inch premium pads from China. It would be helpful for you to identify the one-step polish and where you get your buff pads because there are so many options and every product is different. SPTA pads range from very soft to firm and the quality of foam can vary between styles. I like the Diamond pattern from SPTA and ZFE - T-60 & T-40 for general polishing but these are hard to find since it was removed from Amazon a long time ago (foam material is made in Germany).. Just pointing this out because any beginner is overwhelmed with the many choices and deceptive descriptions used in marketing detailing products.
I use a harbor freight da on my 2015 gtr and wife’s 2018 BMW X3 - as a hobby it’s perfect not sure how it would hold up in an industrial use case
I bought one, too. It was good money spent. Very decent/good quality & durability for sure. I could've spent twice the money and I feel sure that I'd get the same results. Used McGuire's liquids and HF foam pads.
@@TheDude68305😂
You should be proud of yourself. You got through to me understanding on how to get started.
Thank you. This is the most comprehensive demonstration I've seen on YT.
Great tutorial for us neophytes, thanks.
Speed of polisher to fast and finish off that nice shine with a sealant!
HUGE difference , thanks for the video
I couldn't agree more! Thanks for the comment and the support!
alhumdulilah, in every video I've watched on detailing that has had clay baring the paint in the video, none of them explained the difference between straight lines and claying in circles and why that's a no no BUT this video and i appreciate that so much. Thank you.
Great tip on pad cleaning thanks!
Thanks man!! Glad you enjoyed!
This video was very helpful! Thank You! I love the pad cleaning trick! I'll definitely be using it during my detailing.
lolol, I love that part the most lol "gosh, I can't talk today guys, I am so sorry" lol, super cool. I have a feeling this guy is super cool and does a great job too. Peace :)
Sir you are the best at what you do thank you for the advice.
14.40- Use gloves. I was cutting my car with some t-cut to get rid of scratches and didn't put my gloves on. OMG after 3 hours of working on my car, my hands were red and really painful, even after washing them it was like I had burned myself on the oven. So gloves for me every time now.
cool video, worth the watch if your interested in how to polish your own car.
thumbs up from me. :D
Poopoopoolorelei
Very good video, clear and concise.
Thanks! Remember to subscribe for more!
Wow! Thank you for making this video. I learned a lot
I've been wanting to try this for 2 years now. I kept having to prioritize other things, but I just found a good sale on the harbor freight polisher, and I'm preparing for a big wave of car work. Several fluids need changing, brakes/rotors need done, and she hasn't been washed in a hot minute, so it's time to look into this again. I've only used a paste wax in the past for simplicity, but I want to try ceramic eventually. Until I can do a true correction, though, i need something that is more durable and eaiser to apply than paste, so I will try a sealant this time. Ive never done any paint correction, only up to clay, so I might do full clean, then learn how to a polish, and finish with a sealant for now. Then i may try a more serious correction in a few months (Paint touch ups, rusty chip treatment, then compound). I'm not gonna rush to ceramic until I'm sure I'm satisfied. I'm not even quite sure if it's the right choice for me either. I might just have to stick to sealants so I can slowly work on the paint instead of trying to perfect everything and 6
Thank you for all the good tips. It's a little intimidating but you've helped make it approachable.
Great video. This should help people get over their fear of polishing paint. If I may add some additional info. I take an additional step when prepping and that would be using an iron removal spray before I clay bar. This step removes any metallic particles such as brake dust, rail dust and industrial fallout that may be embedded in the paint. To me this is a necessary step that should not be skipped. Especially on light colored vehicles. Also each pass should overlap the last pass by 50% and be in a hashtag or horizontal and vertical pattern. Do not get sloppy on this part. Keep your pad flat on the surface. One series of horizontal and vertical passes is called a pass or a set. One to four passes per section may be necessary to achieve the desired results. The pads and compounds used has a direct effect on this. Don’t start with a heavy cut pad and compound. Do a test pass first then check your work. Some clear coats are softer than others and you don’t want to remove anymore than necessary. Make adjustments to pads and compounds as needed. Have fun and keep it shiny.
With that much knowledge and correcting his video I wanted to check out some of your videos. I can’t find them do you have any?
Sorry Greg for the late reply...No videos at this time. There are a ton of videos already out there on this subject. Just watch a bunch of them and take away something from each one. All of the big car care product companies have videos out. Check out some of those as well.@@gregbuchanan4163
Excellent video !! First time for me using a DA polisher today, I tried the Meguires Ultimate Compound and not real impressed. I called Meguires and they suggested I use the 105/205 steps and finish with Hybrid Ceramic liquid.
After seeing this video I'm going to do the clay bar and the rest like you did.
Your video is the best one I've found for a novice, simple, to the point and NO #\*#=&&"'*\== UNNECESSARY loud music, NO long introduction, NO b.s. or getting off on tangents about a million other things that just confuse the issue for a beginner. Thank you thank you thank you...my search is over ! ❗🎉🎊👍😎
Ultimate compound is a solid product for its intended use. Curious what issues did you had with the product.
@@Twolves2005 It didn't take out light scratches in the clear coat, I experimented with different pads, and speeds, numerous passes, different amounts of the compound. The Meguires paste wax is the only product that seemed to work well, and the Meguires Detail wax. Kind of dissatisfied because usually Meguires products give great results. Next time I use the da I'm trying 3M products.
Thanks for the info. I have an orbital sander/polisher . I bought the pads at Amazon and it explains the colors of the brand. I will have to do this and I have very little experience doing it. I have done it by hand on my truck.
Thank you for all your information looking forward to doing some polishing
Great video, I'm learning a lot about detailing. I have a question, CarNewba, near the end of the video you mentioned some waxes that provide really higher end shine and protection. It sounded like you said "P20 Once?" Can you clarify what that was and where to purchase. Thanks
www.carid.com/p21s/carnauba-wax-mpn-p21-12700w.html?view=697593&gclid=CjwKCAjwguzzBRBiEiwAgU0FT3t6YB4BYesSD9cN6IrSS3J_7FpX67Z0ORt4Er3vvQAlPVYcNYaoVBoCXUIQAvD_BwE
I'm not a fan of carnauba for durability. As soon as the car's surface temperature hits 185 (or so), it quickly starts to degrade and melt off. But at lower temps, it certainly does shine, literally.
Good video. Very informative. Question: what percentage alcohol do you prefer to buy to make your 50% alcohol/50% water solution?
I know this comment is 2 years old but I’m wondering the same thing
I’ve seen lots of videos on this matter, but your’s is the most clear and understandable. Thank you!
Thank you!
I do detail boats and car for a living, and the chicago electric DA is a super tool, i have 3 DAs and 2 rotary, no complaints my friend.
I did exactly what you said in the video. My truck had pretty scuffed up paint and it helped immensely. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Great informative video man - thanks. Two questions: what did you use to clean your pads? And can you clean clay or do you just bin it it when you’ve used it once?
Check out my video on how to clean pads: ruclips.net/video/rswkmn5G0fM/видео.html
And sadly you cant clean clay! Just trash it!
Thanks for the video friend, it helps alot
No problem glad you enjoyed and remember to like and subscribe!
Great video, very easy to understand. I’m finally planning to completely detail my 2008 Saturn Vue when it gets warmer, now I can’t wait
Thanks for the info on using a DA polisher, it certainly beats wiping on polish by hand and wiping off as it takes of scratches and swirls in the paint much better.
No problem glad you enjoyed!
I just watched about 6 videos on this and this is by far the best as far as explanation of the entire process. Just one question, wouldn't it be better to use the IPA to remove wax before the clay bar?
Hey Brian I'm really glad you enjoyed the video to answer your question in order to room wax you're going to need to use a paint prep solution or an IPA solution! A clay bar will only remove embedded contamination from the surface of the vehicle, really hope that helps!
@@48Detailing I know that the clay bar removes the contamination but what I'm asking is wouldn't it be beneficial or more effective to remove any wax with IPA before using the clay bar?
Oh got ya! If I'm doing a full decon I would use a IPA/paint prep follow by clay and then another IPA/paint prep
Believe it or not at one time on RUclips a lot of professionals like yourself actually recommended their first buffer come from harbor freight tools. Ever since they changed their plan and started charging more I don't see as many professionals recommending it any longer.
I do enjoy watching your videos and of course I always make sure you get a thumbs up and I can only subscribe once.
Look forward for watching more videos
Ty just learned alot from this video very helpful
With modern clear coats, Me personally I start with the least aggressive of the 2 to see if a polish product will do the job first. My car has tented clear on it.
Yes that is always best practice! And tented clear is something you really have to be careful of!
Thank you so much for your help on understanding the fundamentals fam‼️ your teaching was basic and powerful‼️🙏🏽👌🏽💯 I’ll be watching this over and over again until I’m comfortable and ready to work on my car‼️
Great video, I appreciate the info and tips!
Excellent video for beginners!
Thanks for a great video. I’m a 70 year old retired woman with a RV. I will be using this polisher and a compound to clean the oxidation on my RV. Will all these products work just as well on the RV?
Hello Pilotdiana! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Sadly these products(m105 & m205) are specifically tailored towards car automotive clear coat, which is very different from RV fiberglass and gel coat. I do recommend a product such as: Meguiars RV heavy oxidation remover (for really bad oxidation) www.amazon.com/Meguiars-M4916-Marine-Oxidation-Remover/dp/B0000AY4YX this product is specifically made for fiberglass and gel coated surfaces that you would find on your RV. And if the oxidation is not to bad on your RV you can also use Gel Gloss RV polish and Protector: www.amazon.com/Gel-Gloss-RV-GG-64-Polish-Protector/dp/B004OZLNE4?crid=L9A7T1QP9FMS&keywords=rv+one+step&qid=1529341995&sprefix=rv+one+s&sr=8-17&ref=mp_s_a_1_17 this product is a one step just like the product(pink bottle) I mentioned in the video but again its specifically made for RVs. Please if you have any further questions feel free to ask and remember to like and subscribe!

Thanks! Ready to get to work.
After compounding and polishing you would need to wax it right? But thank you for the great video! Just learned so much more.
Yes some type of protection is needed!
Ditto on J. Osborn comment. I've been youTubing videos on what polisher to buy since I'm going to detail my 03 Tacoma for the 1st time. Some other videos don't speak to well about Harbor Freight D/A polisher. I have two vehicles to work on but I'll use my truck as a Guinee pig before I do my wife's 2012 CRV. Thank you for the thorough demonstration and for making it clear to use regular alcohol mixed with water and not Jameson on the rocks.......
Finally I learn 2 step heavy compound /versus light polish great blog
Thank you for the detailed and informative video. I appreciate the time you took to fully explain your process. Awesome job.
No problem my friend! Really appreciate you watching and your comment! If you ever have a chance make sure to check out my latest videos and subscribe!
Those look like salad dressing bottles 😂. Thanks for the info. Awesome channel
Condiment bottles they work great!
We use them at the tattoo shop too. Water and the numbing application. They're better because they squirt instead of having a heavy flow.
CarNewba Detailing, hi! Great instructional video. Where do you get your condiment bottles. Thank you so much.
You can pick them up at Walmart!
