The "Slow Cut" Technique - Conclusion

In this series of videos, I demonstrate the buffing process known as the "slow cut" technique. Originally designed to be used with harder paste type polishes, I show how it can also be used with polishes that have the consistency of Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover. It allows a polisher with its limited power (like the PC-7424) to be utilized on harder type clear coats.

Ok thanks junk man for your time, I'm on the detailing world forum but il join the Adams fora right away and get a pic up when I can of the car and before and after. Thanks again.

@jamieblackford I didn't know that you were on DW. We can chat there too.

I will be using a kestrel DAS-6 which is duel action. In terms of polishes and pads I was thinking of ordering the Adams stuff you were using. At the moment all I have is Meguiars pads and Meguiars ultimate compound as well as autoglym super resin polish and autoglym paint renovater. Would these be too abrasive on the single stage paint?

@jamieblackford Look through these comments as I have posted this multiple times. This is why you need to start watching my videos from the threads in which I post them at Adam's Forums as that way, you get ALL the information associated with the videos and not just part of it.

The slow cut technique was invented to be used with polishers that lack power (like the DAS-6), but with PASTE TYPE COMPOUNDS. It was not made to be used with LIQUID type compounds like what I used.

@jamieblackford However, you can use the slow cut technique to help "flush out" a pad when the pad has become saturated with polish, as a saturated pads does NOTHING to fix paint. I did not have any paste type compounds when I made these videos so I just used the stuff I had. Thus, what you have is NOT made for the slow cut technique and neither is the Adam's stuff. The Adam's stuff is made to be used with my REGULAR technique that I use in all my other videos.

@jamieblackford As for whether or not what you have is too abrasive for single stage paint, that I have no clue of. I would need to see your car in order to answer that question. I don't use any of the Meguiar's over the counter stuff, only their professional stuff (Mirror Glaze line). What you need to do is join me over at Adam's Forum where I can see up close pictures of what you are working on or you need to post some really up close and clear videos.

@jamieblackford What is the exact polisher that you are going to be using? Also, what is the name of the product that you are going to be using? I need to know these things before I can answer.

Hi junk man great video. Will be trying out this technique next weekend on my girlfriends oxidised bonnet. Ive been told that the detailing spray can heat up too much on the pad and cause problems, have you ever had any trouble with this? Also what's the reason for finishing in the direction of the car on the final pass when polishing? Or is it just to do with personal preference? Thanks, Jamie.

@tokyoexpressway You contact me at Adam's Forums so that I can direct you to the thread that you need to see.

@Junkman2000 thanks for the reply, btw since I have moderate swirls marks on my car, do I press hard each pass or just start of lightly?
