In this episode, we discuss how long hand polishing vs machine polishing takes and how each side looks after each step. It is possible to hand polish your car, but is it worth your time and effort? Only you can decide :) Hope you enjoy!

    It takes longer to do it by hand but honestly when it comes time to wax my truck I prefer to do it by hand. It's just an enjoyable time for me, just the repetition and flow of the movement takes my mind off everything and all my struggles and I'm just in the moment for those 5 hours. Thought about buying a rotary tool but never did because the results are pretty similar but using it would take away from the pleasure of doing it by hand. I'm sure it also feels more gratifying doing it by hand than doing it with the rotary too. Just my opinion for myself

  • @lotsuvfun
    @lotsuvfun Před 4 lety +9

    The light artifact you see with the hand polishing method is due to the direction of polishing. The glare will always be perpendicular to the direction of the polish. If you want to test this smudge your phone camera with your finger vertically then point at a light and you'll see a horizontal light glare/artifact. Then repeat again horizontally and you'll notice a vertical glare. This is true for any direction you wipe. The machine mitigates this by obviously going in all directions both radially and vertical/horizontally.
    Also, I recently got hooked on your videos so I went out and bought a small detailing kit of my own, I detailed my car this past weekend and can't be happier with the results. Love your videos and the way you explain things! Subscribed!

Until I saw your video, I was going to do all my vehicles by hand, no longer. Questions: What DA is the best for doing all three stages? What size backing is suitable? What brands are worth their weight and which to stay away from? Do you recommend a cordless or corded DA? Thanks again for the video.

I will maybe try it by hand on my own cars in the spring time as it is still snowing here in Scotland. Thanks for the inspiration to give it a go by hand as my cars could probably do with being clayed (gave that up as as well if not polishing after) as well rather than just using fallout remover & Tar & Glue remover plus a pre wax cleanser before my sealants and waxes.

      lockergr test panels and youtube. But you learn the right pad combination, compound polish combination, etc when you start to use it. The machine does the work pretty much other than putting light pressure. What you need to watch out for is how to tell when a compound or polish is done being used. Typically you look for a “flash” or haze in the product as you are using the DA

    Hey Larry, is it possible to polish off small scratches from windscreens? I have couple of mark from small “rocks/dust” being dragged by the wipers. Was wondering if it’s possible to remove it

    I recently bought a polisher so I can remove swirls and some scratches. I recently did the compound by hand and polished by hand but it wasn’t as good as it should’ve been. Am I good to proceed with a polish & wax to remove the swirls?

    I hand polished my LJ by hand. It made the black paint pop, but the deeper scratches remained. What annoyed me the most was the dried white residue left behind in the crows feet cracks. With the black paint, the crows feet cracks now really stand out :(

    I tried to only polish my e39 touring because at this time i dont had a polisher and it took me about 2 days. I have to say that it was very hard to do, but the result was great.

    Do you have plans on coming out with any wax/compound/polish products?

    Great video. But I have to say, you can (and nowadays do) get single stage urethane. So single stage paint can be just as hard as clearcoat.
    In fact I'm currently repainting my old car with single stage urethane.

    How to balance that hood which is done by hand? Are you going to use microfibre pad with polish or polishing pad with compound?

    Clay works great in removing stuff stuck to your clear coat, even old wax, road grime- etc

    Hi, good infos and tricks
    Small question, can we polish by hands the windshield ?
    Thanks

  • @scottc9892
    @scottc9892 Před 3 lety

    you mentioned that the clear coat prevents the paint from oxidizing, with the new cars today can the top coat turn a bit white/hazy from oxidation or is that eliminated with new car paint process today? and if it does get oxidized is the actual clearcoat getting oxidized or the paint underneath? also are you actually taking some of the clear coat off with say a 1 step or 2 step paint correction with a DA polisher? thanks for your time

    How about using a drill to polish? Not as good as a rotary, but better and faster than hand. There are so many 3 inch kits on amazon for less than 10$.

    • @andrewcanella
      @andrewcanella Před 4 lety +1

      Be careful- this may burn your clear coat since it's not dual-action.

    • @SteelRoninTT
      @SteelRoninTT Před 4 lety +4

      @@andrewcanella Of course, but it spins a lot slower than a rotary so it'll be a lot safer. Also meguiars have a dual action kit for drills if you wanna be even safer

    Do you then have a video about how to use a DA polisher, and which one is best for absolute beginners who have never seen anyone use one, except on CZcams? I was looking at the Griot's G9. What are the best compounds and polishes for total newbies? I don't have any background in this, but my paint looks like junk from sitting outside in the elements for 13 years and never having any type of decontamination, short of what I've done lately from learning about all of this teaching myself through CZcams videos. People like you are really helping us all out significantly. Thank you!

    Im having great results with a DeWalt 12v cordless, Amazon pads, and Turtle Wax conventional waxes including scratch remover and polishing compound.
    Actually, probably the best results short of paint or color correction via wet sanding or other methods. This is on a 18 year old vehicle with original paint.
    The product isn't as important as the process. You can get great results with cheap products.
