Great video bro. I have a new VW GTI and I want to wax/buff/polish the bejesus out of it. It has metallic carbon steel grey paint. The car is real sweet. Can u help me with some advise. I want a cordless buffer but everything I see is low end.

why do you lift the pad? if your wondering why your getting holograms i would start there

[acientmew]

May I also ask do you do the same with a resprayed panel? Or you have to use some less aggresive product to polish?

Thx Detail KING!

[acientmew]

May I ask those micro scratches and swirl that made by compound are actually removed by the polish or was it just covered up? I always have doubt about this.....

Will it show up again after couple of washes and clay bar?

Thanks alot Detail King!

If you are using a High Speed Buffer and the correct Polish/Glaze, then YES the swirls that you are putting in with the compound will be removed with the glaze.

If you use an Orbital Polisher, then you will be filling in those swirls and they will be visible again after a couple of washes and a clay bar.

Nice to know that! Thank you so much detail king!

why you dont have used white or blue pad? And green is the medium right? maybe it is possible to start with the medium green pad instead the yellow one?

[detailking01]

Once you gain more experience with the buffer, the various pads, polish products, and controlling the speed you will develope your own way that will leave the paint shining and swirl free. When first starting out yes you should keep the pad as flat as possible. As your skills become better you will develope your own technique just like Jason has shown you here. We offer hands on training classes teaching buffer techniques. Thanks for watching and writing.

hi ? 1450 rpms what dial set is in the makita?

what is the safest set in it?

thanks

[detailking01]

You won't always use the same setting on the dial when you use the Makita. It will depend on what you are doing - compounding, glazing, polishing, etc. It will also depend on how agressive you need to get. Our compounds, polishes, and glazes are formulated to work well at low speeds and I would recommend keeping your speed between 1200-1600rpms. It is always better to start out slower and increase the speed if needed. Opertaing your buffer at a lower speed will prevent burning through the paint.

i thought u were meant to keep the pad as flat as possible?

[detailking01]

When you are starting out that is true as you become an experienced detailer you acquire your own style and if it works you stay with it.
