Great watch. As a custom painter/commissioned artist and an auto detailer, word of mouth and quality of work speaks more volume than any form of advertising. I'm at the age now where I've been able to help teach younger artists how to airbrush and share with them the correct way of doing something, or the little things like "We can do it this way, or this way and get the same result." You clearly love what you do and it shows.

Your videos have really help and I appreciate all the tips you give. My parents own a towing company and we have 10 trucks that we buff once a year. Before I found your channel I was using a buffer with a wool pad and thought the results I was getting was 'as good as its going to get' . Now I use the orange and yellow buffs with the corresponding compounds from your website, and I'm getting amazing results to the point that it looks brand new again. It also cut my time in half on buffing. Keep up the good work.

Don't know if you've ever covered this but have you ever done a video on equipment maintenance. do a teardown on a grinder. inspecting the brushes. cleaning and inspecting the armature. Making sure the inside of the body is free of fibers/threads that can cut the wires/windings on the armature. I know the one I started out with 30 years ago was a Black & Decker wildcat 1500 RPMs. I have three of them still that I use. But one of the issues I had for the longest time was getting fibers down inside and cutting the wires/windings on the armature. One of my fixes was taking a Scotch Brite pad cutting it to fit inside the inspection shield which ended up keeping fibers from going in. Just think I it would be a great video. The grinder/polishers are your money makers.

Evan how much time do you need to polish 4 drives 2 tanks and 2 steers ? I can get a load up there , no sanding needed I’ve done that and polished everything twice the metal is in great shape. I just don’t have the time I’m too slow. Lol

If no sanding and it is in good shape just a few hours per truck.

My question is why don't you go from a orange wheel with a brown or a green compound to a white with white or blue compound why do you stick with yellow and green and thanks for the help man it is much appreciated

@EvanStegerMetalPolishing

3 жыл бұрын

White and blue compound are too soft and would be difficult to get the cut marks from the brown out going straight to white or blue. Need to mix in a softer compound before you can go to white or blue. But for me and my customers the finish from green is good enough and doesn't require using the white or blue to finish.

I charge the same for fronts and rears. They take me about the same amount of time but my process is a little different. On a simple 2 step just quick cut and color no sanding while still on the truck I charge $25-35 a wheel.

You can but the results always depend on what you are working on. If I use purple and brown on stainless or on really rough aluminum it might not do so well. Also if you use purple and brown on really nice aluminum it might be too aggressive and make more of a mess also. So it all depends on what you are working on.

Its sadly the way it is, as long as you dont charge excessively (i.e. beyond 100$/hr), its pretty normal. I have the same issue but in Denmark Europe. Its a totally normal trend. Showcase your work through Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin or whatever you use to promote your work. Thing about polishing being expensive is, its down to the individual. Some people will always say its too expensive, and then you got those guys that changes their mind, when they understand the amount of work it takes/sees how the finish is.
