Hey Junkman, just wondering where you get your supplies from (particularly the pads, backing plate, and Adam's polishes)? And what is the optimal temperature I should polish the car at (I know that it should be done in a shaded area)?
@sidhucer00789 I get everything I use from the Adam's Polishes website. You can too and you can also get a discount if you use my discount code. You can work in temperatures as low as 50 and as high as 90. It's really not the outside temperature that you need to watch, it's the temperature of the car's surface. That's what is really important. Too hot is a killer.
@CosmicTruthify There is only one fix for a scratch that has gone through the paint as far as I'm concerned and that is a repaint. There are scratch repair kits on the market but they never look as good as a proper respray. You can find dozens of scratch repair kits advertised here on You Tube.
THAT'S where that second screw goes on the foam gun! I had the top one figured, that was easy. Never even noticed the end of the mix adjust was threaded.
Any idea why it's there Junkman? My foam gun seemed to work fine the first six times I used it with out it.......LOL
Greetings from Ontario Canada man !!!! Hey I just spent about 4 hours watching your various videos - just wanted to give a big shout out for letting me know about the PC - I have to get me one of these for sure.
My question is how does Adams products compare to Zaino - I have been a Zaino user for 5 years doing all my jobs by hand / towels buffing. Does Adams have a Canadian link? Also, does the PC correct orange peel as well ?
Hey, Ontario here too man! Watching vids on polishing, as I want to get into the detail biz.. Can anyone tell me what the difference between wet sanding and cut and polishing is?? What would be better for a 1 year old paint job, with some swirl and orange peel.....?
Junkman thanks to you, your videos and instruction, my '07 Dodge Charger that started life as a rental car with swirled, hazed, and abused to hell paint now has a PERFECT mirror shine and the pearl coat just blows me away!
Hi Teach! well today was my first try w/ a used Pc, I found one used w/ pads and more, I carefully followed your great instructions, now you wouldnt know it , but you were spoke of and thought of. This young Marine sold it to me,as I live in a Marine Base town.
Love the PC! BTW I did only turn on and off while it was on hood!
Good for you! Now you realize that this technique is not one that you would use to do the entire car unless you are using a hard paste type of polish. If you are using a liquid type of polish, you implement this technique to help keep your pads fresh and from getting clogged up with polish.
If your pads are not getting caked with product, then you use my normal technique of 3 pea sized drops of polish with the PC turned up to a speed of 5 using 9-14 pounds of pressure.
Was that English you just typed? If you are saying that $250 is too much to spend in supplies in order to care for your ride, then you obviously can't afford a car that is worth caring for anyway.
That's why they have do-it-yourself car washes. For guys and their hoopties.
WOW that's a beautiful comment, very cleaver twit, being sarcastic and mean seems to be your real personality instead of the happy go lucky junkman seen on the videos. I was just making a point that not everyone that see's your video's can run out and by this expensive crap. And it has nothing to do with are ride's being good enough brother.
Dude, this is obviously not for you. Fine, move along. Some peope will pay a detailer $250 just to clean and wax their car. If that seems like a lot to you then none of my videos are going to be of interest to you. There are plenty of OTC products in auto stores that will accomodate your budget, and don't require a polisher to apply. I suggest you pay them a visit.
Actually, I'm just down the road from you. The only problem is this is way too much work for me to do for a living. My father use to do it for a living but I'm a computer consultant. It is a lot easier on sweat and pays a lot more money!
I would be willing to show you how to do it in person though. It would only cost you a trip to Outback with me and my appetite. : )
I can make myself available since I'm self-employed. I'm in Louisville, so it's just a hop, skip and a jump for you. Shoot me an email and we'll set something up.
That's who I made them for! There are a million detailers out there who know more than I but have better things to do with their time! I'm just trying to help out the average Joe wants their shine to be as mean as their ride.
Junkman, your videos are invaluable. I cannot tell you how much I've learned and how my car care practices have changed since watching your videos. Your accolades are well deserved. Thanks!
Junkman for President! Man, A.J., you are truly outstanding. Thank you. Thank You. Thank You for taking time to film such an educational, entertaining video!

Junkman2000 1 year ago

At about 4:35 you can see a screw at the end of the mixture adjustment rod. There is an indentical one on top of the foam gun.

Okay, that screw. Mine was already assembled and the only thing that I've ever adjusted was the amount of soap that gets dispensed.
