Thanks for the video . I just did the hood on my boat and I’m super happy with the results. I’ve been doing this all wrong .I have one question. Do you buff until the pad is dry and it starts to polish the area ? Or enough to have to wipe it off with a cloth ?

@jdisdetermined

2 жыл бұрын

You want to end your cycle, or add fresh compound before it flashes, or dries out. Dry buffing is just abusing the paint, spiking temps, chucking dust and not cutting efficiently. It's also a lot harder to wipe off residue if you overwork it. If your liquid is drying out too soon you're either not using enough or the section size is too large for the conditions.

If this were a ceramic coated boat what machine, pad and product would you use? Can you use the Rotary machine in this video for ceramic? Thanks! You are a great instructor.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve just started doing fiberglass cleanups and I have been doing this last step completely wrong. How many times do you have/need to reapply the buffing cream onto the pad? I get so much cream and dust everywhere, hoping this will cut down in it. Also, do you not have to put a little bit of water onto the buffing cream? My mind is blown here, looking forward to putting this technique into practice! I LOVE the cleaning tip, thanks again!

@DrakesDetailing

2 жыл бұрын

Hey! You should clean your pad and re-apply your compound after every pass! No water needed that will ruin the shine and break down the compound prematurely. I highly recommend using all Starke Products, as they provide the best results out of anything else I’ve ever used as a detailer! They extra heavy cut compound “Level R” is the best!

Hey bro! There’s no need to, the pad will get messy but it won’t blend the colors of the gelcoat together 😎

I use my makita for all of my buffing and polish and wax. You just have to know your machine and the pads. I have been buffing for over 20 years. That is way before foam pads and da polishers were the in thing.

I know it takes some skill to finish well with a rotary!

Yea I've never used anything other then a royalty on a gel coat boat. I've never had hologram issues. 🤷🏼‍♂️

some said you cannot achieve orbital polisher's level of cutting power by dual action polisher. If I only have DA polisher, do you have any recommendation to get to the maximum cutting? Thanks.

If your only option was a DA I would use A lake country wool pad or a rupes wool pad on the DA

Is it possible to compound in the sun, I have no open to do so in the shade unless it’s cloudy

Yes! That’s more old-school compound where it’s like paste and it will dry too fast in the sun.
