How to Polish Paint for beginners! #detailing #polishing #paintcorrection #diydetail

Soooo your saying I can use my dewalt orbital cordless palm sander as a polisher for my polishing?

If so then ordering gs and pads

I have blue racing stripes, is it safe to polish the stripes?

So what pad do i use to remove car wash swirl marks. Will the yellow pad do it over time, or the first time i use it, with your gold polish. I`m getting the sander today 14.99 at HF.

Thanks for doing this video Ivan and Nick, i have a black and Decker oribital sander, i was wondering if i could use it to polish my Focus with, i also have Stjarnagloss Shara, now i only have to buy a pad and give it a go on some of my scratches.

Are these palm sanders any good for cutting?

Will you come out with a 15 mm da? And when will your lake country pad washer be back in stock

Honestly, this seems so much better than a normal long heavy polisher

Great video, yall are the very very few that do demos on a "entire" car, unlike taped off sections or door that's been removed. With that being said, I head you say your polish is "Trim / Molding" polisher, Does that mean it won't leave the usual "white" residue behind ? I have only seen a handful claiming that. I am not a detailer but want to keep detail as simple and most effieicent as possible. Looking for an all in one polish that is trim/mold safe (no taping). Thanks guys

I’ve seen in your other videos using the palm sander with the wool pad. How do you decide between the wool and yellow waffle for just a polish with a palm sander?

What can I use instead of rinseless wash and water to clean the pad? APC and water? Detergent and water?

Well this is great information that we're able to dip the pad in water and get it cleaner. I did not know that and having less than 12 hours polishing as a beginner this helps. I think I used too much Sonax on a orange pad yesterday. I tried to clean it w a old kitchen brush but I don't think it did much. Temp was 93° for the high, humidity 81% here in FL. After I made the mistake of polishing my trunk, after doing two sections of the roof, I later noticed some white pittings. This was the 2nd time I did the trunk within a week. Its a practice vehicle in neglected shape but I didn't want to make it worse. I haven't found anyone address repair pitted white spots

can you cut and polish with the orbital palm sander?

Can you use a liquid polish versus using a spray polish?

What to do to remove polish white haze from a matte black decal?

I just took back a Bauer palm sander cause I didn't think it was right to use it didn't rotate like I thought it was supposed to. So I guess it would work.

Would you also use the gold standard polish on the windows to get them clean, free of water spots, and prepped for wax/coating, or does that require a different product?

You guys try so hard to complicate a simple video. Took 10 minutes before you shown something useful.

Do you guys have a chart for speed settings for each different stroke length and for the intended purpose. I have a 21mm and an 8mm just trying to find out where a comparable setting would be for paint enhancement, or compounding heavier defects?

Well looks like im making another trip to HF for a sander lol

I’m building up courage to polish my cars, have never done it and still a bit scared to do so. Thanks for all the great videos!

Do these tips only work with your products? Is it a good practice to polish a new car or does it just depend on the condition of the paint? Meaning is there a scenario where a new car doesn’t need to be polished at all? Thx

Hi! Do I need an extra accessory for a pad to fit in a random orbital sander? Do I need some backing plate or adhesive for it to bond? Thanks!

Love all your vids and have learned a lot. Video idea (could be a short) how to polish non flat surfaces and decals. I have a 2019 f250 and the hood is anything but flat. Also i don't know how to treat the fx4 decal.

I've been using my 10mm throw Ryobi machine with good results, converted it to hook & loop and it's been a game changer.

I recently got a Black & Decker 5" palm sander and tried polishing with the GSP and the yellow pad. I noticed there's a lot of flinging each time I start the machine on a panel. Should I spin for even longer to make the pad drier? Also the machine tends to wobble unless I really hold onto it, is it because of poor technique?

Can orbital sander do correction paint for light scracth ?

Which towels from your site are you using in this video? Thanks for all the great videos!

Yet in another video you say that frequently cleaning the pad for each panel is over rated 🤔

Hi,
Love your content... I'm trying to adopt all your methods, I'm just finding it hard to purchase your polishing machine here in Australia.

I have milwaukee palm sander. Do you have to modify anything on the sander to use it as a polisher?
Thank you

Man I need to do my car today. So not looking forward to the Iron remover spray and clay barring. :(

couple of questions ,the ceramic coating you offer is a 9h or higher ceramic coating? Second is does your gold standard polish have any fillers? Thanks for the KT's

My brothers 2012 Nissan Rogue has oxidized headlights. Would this method with this pad help eliminate that issue? I've never machine polished before and want to fix his headlights and bring his cars paint back to life a bit. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, any suggestion on a harbor freight polisher? They have a crazy deal rn for 45% off but not sure what to get

I let the dirty bucket sit for awhile with the polish and the grit guard. Can clean it off or would I risk scratching the paint with all the gunk from cleaning the pad? This is the bucket where you dry it out by spinning it.

Great video with one quesiton! If you drop the sander in the bucket of water, ....... How far should you run????

No usan productos sonax???

Guys what pad did you put on the polisher?! How heavy or fine cutting is it??

Can this be used to finish black top on my jeep wrangler?

I cant find the polisher you guys used, any help on what brand that palm sander is?

Jesus Christ you guys love the sound of your own voices.

So I have a 10" cordless random orbital buffing/polisher so it says, that only uses bonnets, was wondering if this is even good to do any type of paint correction

Is this an acceptable way to prep a new tesla for ceramic coating? Any decon wash or iron remover needed first?

Do I have to clean my pad as often when I'm only waxing and not polishing?

One of the most critical things I’ve learned from you guys isn’t just cleaning the pad but also keeping the moisture in it when I am applying the polishing compound. That has completely changed my result when I polish now requiring a much less aggressive pad and for a much shorter period of time on the surface polishing. Thank you! 👍🏻

Can you use ONR instead for this method?

About how long would it take to polish a car in fairly good condition?

Can I use absolute rinse less wash instead? What size pad is needed for that specific palm sander?

Can I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Polish & Wax instead of Gold Standard?
