My nephew got me a Walmart 10" orbital polisher last Christmas ... not something I really need, but I was determined to find a use for it (it was a Christmas present after all), and for the times I don't feel like buffing a light coat of wax off by hand, it works OK.

Thanks! It had a LOT of oxidation and embedded contaminates. Like I said a few times - cared for ... but never detailed.

Thanks, I'm only using my Android phone and an Amazon tripod.

I haven't found that to be the case.

I put it in the refrigerator and even now is fully useable

@@steveng5503 I used Rain-X

You can wax it on glass, but you need to wait 24-48 hours for it to cure, it has different curing times on different surfaces, I applied some on the windshield, then sprayed water on there, The same day, and the same time, coating stripped off like nothing, however, I applied on it again, waited 5 minutes then buffed it off and polished it, waited 24 hours, came back and wiped it again (because there’s a slight Haze of the wax left I didn’t clean properly) then I sprayed water on it, it beads like crazy, then I tried using chemicals to test it’s chemical resistance, still didn’t come off. I tried it on a normal glass panel too just to point out and prove that it works, although I waited 48 hours on this (because I was busy) came back home then tried water, beads better tust the windshield application because I waited more, has more chemical resistance than than the windshield too. So for instance you need to wait 48 hours for the ceramic coating to cure just like the real ceramic coatings. Some require 24 hours and some 48 hours or more.

@@doncoty6617 I've since changed to DIY DETAIL'S Rinseless Wash Solution @ 256:1 for glass. For the Slick Glass, use less and a damp towel for the 1st wipe, THEN a dry buff.

When Turtle Wax introduced their Hybrid Solutions Line, they significantly redesigned and improved their game.

I always try to do the protectant step at least in the shade, makes life a lot easier.

@@Dead__Byte Very good chance ... I'm there all the time.

Thank You ... I'm MUCH better since I started following Yvan and Nick at DIY

Great job Don

@@diydetailofficial All thanks to you guys for honing my techniques

I recently asked this question to Nxtzen, and they recommend 5 - 7 days after applying the 365 Pro. It's a pain if you're the type that wants to wash your car all the time (like me), but if you want it to works its best ...

@DetailedbyDon so is the 24 hour before getting wet?

@@Wiikendzgoodmix I would wait a n hour at least before getting it out in the rain

@DetailedbyDon Thinking of trying this protection on my car, but don't have a garage so need as little cure time as possible before it can take some rain just in case. Looking for a protection that actually works on my car, having huge problems finding anything that doesn't die on my car within a few weeks. That has been keeping me away from real ceramics since it's really expensive if it fails after 3 weeks, but with this I atleast have more applications out of it.

@Wiikendzgoodmix I've used the 365 Pro on *several* cars and still have a lot left in the bottle. The first time I used it on my Camaro and the Wife's SUV, I used the Dr Beasley's Prep Polish wrong (way overworked it), I 'started from scratch' a week ago on my car, but even with the prep polish applied incorrectly, it's still working extrememly well on the wife's car.

No, I haven't

I'm not sure. The bottle has been open and stored in the refrigerator for over 4 months ... I used it just 2 days ago, and it was still like I had just opened the bottle. Now I have to call my contact w/Nxtzen and ask, because even after coating about 6 cars, I still have just over 1/2 bottle left

@@dtail4u Just talked to my contact about shelf life... about 4 months refrigerated and indefinite if in the freezer

@@DetailedbyDon ok Tkz a Million.

Actually, it seems that the DIY stuff (Other than using some of them, making me want to use more of them), it seems like they're making me LESS inclined to experiment with the 'Latest and Greatest.' Since the Rinseless Wash (for example) is SO versatile and can be used in place of multiple cleaners, there's no point in getting 15 different products for each job.

@@DetailedbyDon true, I have a lot of ONR rinceless wash left. Which the DIY guy pushed for years. As for other products, for me I’ll stick with TW. It’s cheap, easy to use and available. And imo the gloss of the TW Pure Shine Is crazy good. Plus I have a good supply of TW products lol.

@@butchc9226 So do I 🤣 But I'm trying to give a lot of it away, since it looks like I'm into coatings now 😂

@@DetailedbyDon I get that. I thought about going into coatings, but since I’m getting older I just do a few cars a year. So I enjoy a good polish and hybrid wax as therapy, But that’s just me lol.

@@butchc9226 Since I'm also getting older, I'm also getting lazier ... so since coatings don't need to be applied all the time, just a good maintenance wash regularly - that means less "work" for me.

Not really. I intend to use DIY Rinse-less wash for all my cars now, coated or uncoated as it just WORKS so well and leaves nothing to change or mask the coating or sealant's performance.

@@audieconrad8995 I'll just avoid those areas when using the polisher and lightly go over the edges by hand. She was extatic when she saw my car and found out that I was planning on doing the same thing to hers.

@DetailedbyDon anxious to see the results there big guy. Good luck.

@@audieconrad8995 Just got back home from a check up. About to start a mechanical/chemical decon with TW HS Rapid Decon and the DIY "Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel or PSDT" ... decon towel for sort

@DetailedbyDon Am a fan of the Rapid Decon. DIY stuff looks solid - haven't got around to any of their products yet but is on the radar.👍🏼

Thanks, things are SO much easier now since I've started taking lessons from DIY's Yvan Lacroix

No, no toppers. Just proper maintenance washes.

Been overthinking for 40+ years ... not easy to stop

Thanks, I've actually detailed this LESS than I would have this time last year, due to watching all those DIY DETAIL videos and being pulled from the detailing "Matrix" I'd been trapped in. Running well? With the supercharger, it runs like a player from a pregnant girlfriend 🤣

@DetailedbyDon Hahaha, I'm from Maine the supercharger would be referred to as a "screamah!" Lol... Ya, the detail matrix...sooooo very easy to just over think/do things. Keep'er between the lines brothah!

Thank you very much for the critique. As this was my very first time doing a complete enhancement with the rotary, I expected to have shortcomings. I too feel that I was doing too large of an area - carryover from years of using a DA. Plus I found that I needed to reduce the amount of product significantly as compared to a DA. I also bought a different rotary - one that's a LOT lighter, newer and does not have the 'handguard" (for lack of a better term) around the handle, which made it difficult to keep the polisher level as it was way too close to the panel.

Thanks. It really helped that she DOESN'T take the car through brush-washes, kind of eliminates the need for all but a light enhancement polish.

I DO have chrome/metal polish that I might try next time - they came out better than I expected with the compound.

I'm really tempted to get the DIY stuff, it looks really promising, but I have more stuff than I know what to do with now 🤣 First order of business is a keg sprayer - the pump sprayers from the hardware stores are junk & never last. I'm not sure about fillers in the Turtle Wax. After that, I think my 1st purchase will be the DIY Rinseless Wash.

Turtle Wax One n Done, according to them, has no fillers.

@@DetailedbyDon I see a lot of ads for the new DIY stuff. They have new coatings with diamond dust that they say last a cars lifetime without using a topper, Plus it’s very expensive. Flex wax is around $15 now, plus a bottle lasts a long time. The TW Pure Shine is also $15 and gives crazy gloss, easy to use after a wash. I use ONR rinseless, never had a problem. But every car, and detailer is different.

@@butchc9226 As long as you are doing SOMETHING to maintain your car regularly, you shouldn't have a problem
