What do I do with my broken or leftover rouge/compound? - Evan's Detailing and Polishing

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Much respect to Julia Childs cooking show. LOL I hope everyone got a laugh out of my introduction. Live, Laugh, and Love. Silly saying but life is short. Try to enjoy it.
In this video I show what we do with all of our leftover compound chunks or nuggets. I know many polishers that just throw them away or throw them at each other. For me as a business owner wasted product is wasted money. Every bit of money I can save goes directly into my bottom line. And when my bottom line looks good my employees do well. So we save everything. On average my shop saves around 600 lbs of brown compound and around 300 lbs of green each year. The sum total of this saves me thousands of dollars a year. Not bad for a day or two's worth of work.
Remember not to over heat your rouge/compound. Over cooking it can cause it to not work as well. You need the greases and oils that are in the bars to maintain so that they don't get ruined.
I hope you find this video helpful. If you are looking to buy the same products we use then head on over to goshineon.com/shop. We stock all the items we use in our shop. Thanks for watching.

    I have the same trays that you are using and while I was cooking Thanksgiving turkey and food I was also melting green and brown pieces from the last 2 years and my bars look and weigh the same as yours. Counted and figured I saved myself about $300 while cooking Thanksgiving. 🤑

    Sounds like if you over cook them you could have a compound that’s more abrasive than the brown is naturally. Could use it to cut bad stuff that doesn’t quite need sanding but needs something a bit more aggressive than the natural brown. Then you could probably use the same buffing wheel to use the regular brown. Just a thought from a guy who knows absolutely nothing about it.
