    Love the rinseless wet wipe method that Yvan introduced me to, makes removing the polish residue so easy. If you're a hardcore DIYer and you're driveway polishing outside (or you're a mobile detailer), you can use the rinseless to wipe down the panel just before you buff it to remove any dust, and it will help cool the panel on sunny days if you keep the bucket out of the sun.

    I recently purchased your polish and pads during your Black Friday sale. I own a black 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe and the paint has been beautifully maintained. After I used the polish the depth of shine was taken to another level. I was so impressed that I have placed another order for more of your products which will arrive in a couple of days. I also did a rinseless wash on a black Audi yesterday. I had detailed that same vehicle several weeks ago. And I am a true believer in the quality of your products. Well done!

    I’ve told folks for years you don’t need a $400 Rupes or Flex DA polisher. You can do the same job with a $80 Bauer polisher from Harbor Freight😂. Now the more expensive machines will be smoother and give a more pleasurable experience but a 15mm throw machine is a 15mm throw machine regardless of who makes it. Great video. I’m really enjoying the Gold Standard Polish!

The pad and polish/compound are what has the biggest impact on results by far. 8, 15, 21mm throw is the same no matter what machine you use. 800-5,000rpm is the same now matter what machine you use. Cheaper machines won’t last as long , are louder and vibrate more but will give you just as good results.

    Just re the glass - I had a very surprising experience. I was trying to remove a stubborn "film" of grime on my brand new car, and tried a compound (Optimum Intensive Polish), by hand, with a small foam pad. (orange CCS). It created micro-marring! I had watched a video on the Obsessed Garage channel where Matt said "use the most aggressive stuff you have" (in the context of thoroughly cleaning the glass before applying a glass sealant). It appears to me that glass, despite it's hardness, still has to be treated with great care!

    What we are using in this video isn’t a wax, it’s an abrasive polish. One spray covers a 2’ by 2’ area. The pad should be cleaned after every section. Never add Clean polish to a dirty pad.

    Everywhere I read tells me not to polish with an orbital sander as you can’t adjust the speed low enough, even at the lowest setting, and the orbital diameter is too small. With all your experience will a palm sander do just as good of job polishing using the same method and without adding risk to the paint? Using the DIY polish and pad of course….

  • @diydetailofficial

    @diydetailofficial

    It's not a method pros use, but it's presented here as a very acceptable option to SHINE the paint. To get gloss. We're not going after deep scratches, think instead about "shiny scratches." From 5 to 10 feet away the car will pop. Yvan teaches this method because the palm sander is so common. We want this to be easy and accessible -- learnable -- to anybody:)

    This is Yvan. I worked in R&D with Porter Cable, and it is not an issue. Bearings are designed for axial load( that’s exactly what happens when free spinning) they are not designed for thrust loads( what you do when you apply pressure to your polisher).

    Fyi…this is exclusively an American issue within the USA car detailing market, when an outdated Italian brand’s DA machine was hugely pumped into the American market, with an “excitingly scary fear-mongering” story. Classic American propaganda created by Americans, inflicted onto Americans to exploit Americans (look at how big that Italian brand had become) and finally after a very long time….due to courageously professional detailing gurus such as yourselves, you dare to expose the truth by going against the grain. In other parts of the world, there was never any fear of the Rotary, where using Rotaries to “polish” cars are as common as Texans owning and playing with firearms.
