Hey cool vid, i just got a similar rotary polisher i was just wondering if anyone knows if i apply the wax on with an applicator pad could and i buff it off with wool buffer pad on a machine rotary buffer is this a bad thing? Can it be done this way? I don't see anyone taking the wax off with machine?

[wahlan]

@robbiet182 @robbiet182 you could apply the wax with a machine using a foam pad. To my understanding, wool pads are made for low heat and high cut applications. You will probably find it difficult to actually 'buff off' the wax. Buffing off is usually done with your favourite towel of choice with constant flipping to fresh and clean sections of the towel. Also, if you wax with a pad, they are fairly difficult to wash.

Hey man, good on you for jumping right into using a rotary, it's a difficult machine to master. Your technique looks good, just watch those edges. Using a higher quality, thinner pad may help you with control and product absorption. Also, try to use a different microfiber for removing wax than your do for removing polish :). Great job!

[wahlan]

@JonProce Thanks for that :) yeahh i am looking to invest in some new pads the next time i do some detailing, i accidentally left some in a bag while they were still wet and they got rotten :(. Have since bought a supply of microfibre towels too so will definitely be able to have separate buffing towels.

If you havnt already my advice, Look up Final Inspection Online or DamianFI on here or Google them... Good products and Forum(i live in the US but wanna use CAP products)! Damian has some great vids tho there! Honestly tho, well done!!

wicked video, just looking for techniques before i finally get the last few bits together to give my golf VR6 a full detail. even though white isnt the best colour to try and photo for before and after pictures you can tell youve done a good job because when you ran your hand over the paint that was really bad! and i thought mine was bad!LOL

good work though, keep it up!
