    I have been looking for REAL advice about polishing my RV for about a year now. I think from what I heard here that his info is 100% correct. I made many mistakes trying to polish my RV, and this video set me straight. However, I cannot find the abrasive he is using, or the synthetic wax mentioned at the end. Can you tell us what those products actually are? Also, he was using a non-orbital buffer. Is it OK to use an orbital one?

    The advice to contact a boat detailer vs an automotive one was a good point to make.

    • @Local_Boydidgood
      @Local_Boydidgood 4 года назад +2

      Typically, car guys can't do a boat at all well and a boat detailer tends to be too heavy-handed to fitness paint on a car.
      They should be using totally different products as well. More oily for gelcoat, less so for paint.
      Marine paint is like airplane paint, sometimes exactly the same, so it's thick and strong unlike modern car paints and clear coats.

    I'd like to say I'm a car detailer but I also do boats planes rvs etc. Personally I think he could finish with a soft polishing wool pad and provide a better shine. Also use a white paper plate to look at the reflection and find any missed imperfections. Not knocking just wanted to give some extra as I've been doing this for a while out in Arizona and I deal with lots of RVs boats and cars.

    Around the 15:41 mark, did Tyler polish out the swirls before applying the sealant or did he allow the sealant to “fill in the swirls”? Basically like when he was trying to explain why not to use a one-step (all in one) product. Maybe his finishing pad buffs out the swirls at the same time he’s applying the sealant?

      Watch Drakes Detailing videos for gelcoat. I’ve watched many hours of him and just used Starke Level R from Marine Detailing Supply with a rotary tool like this guy was using and 3 passes does it. Then Starke Elevate to remove swirl marks - can use a finer wool pad on the rotary or better to use a foam pad on a DA (I’m using a Rupes Mille with a foam pad), then wash with Dawn soap to strip the compound lubricants. Then follow up with Jescar Power Lock Plus (Amazon has this), let it sit at least 30 minutes before removing with microfiber rags. My final step is McKee’s 37 Nautical One Hydro Rinse SiO2 Ceramic Boat Coating (available on Amazon). This is if you have true gelcoat and not painted fiberglass.

    There is nothing difficult nor complicated with rejuvenating such heavily oxidized fibreglass surfaces. Its 100% about highly abrasive “cutting” and the fastest, most professional method is via ROTARY BUFFER + abrasive compound (as shown in video).
    The real issue is, in the USA and UK, many “detailers” do not know how to professionally use Rotary Buffers because most of such newcomers were actually jobless and had to quickly become “detailers”, and the only fastest way to start the business was to use the home hobbyist Dual Action machine which even a 7yr old can use…with excellent results but much slower vs a Rotary Buffer.
    Hence, such “detailers” tend to avoid talking about Rotary Buffers, and they propagate the American-created fallacy that Rotaries can “burn paint” via American social media.
    If you advertise yourself as a “professional” who fell big trees as a service, PLEASE learn to professionally use a real chainsaw. That would be a starting point of being seen as a professional.
    On such heavily oxidised big surfaces, only a fool would use a DA to slowly clatter away. Hugely inefficient. Such “detailers” should watch a REAL DETAILER as in the above video on how to be comfortable holding the REAL tool of a pro detailer and how to professionally handle it.
    If you love to do big game shooting/ hunting, and dont even know how to hold a hunting rifle or dont even own a rifle,………(Im speechless)😂😂😂
