[@mereview2615]

Agree 👍

[@andypich4865]

Wow straight to the point and easy to understand. Everybody else is helpful but they don't go through the process of why you should do every step. Thanks! This helped me out a lot!

[@kevintaylor1202]

Quick and to the point! So far the best video on how to use a DA polisher.

[@mynsxt6]

Absolutely brilliant display of knowledge and workmanship!!!!!!!

[@7071t6]

Your the BEST CAR DETAILER U Tube INFO channel out there buddy barr none, i cant seem to find anyone that supports even Meguiars or Autoglym which they have uploads of so many people showing you how to, but none of them have had the complete 50/50 of any car new or old and then show what the differences are when you use good products and done right to TEST to prove how good or bad or alright to use by detailers or the family car owner who wants to make sure that the family car is looked after because he or she wants to maintain it for future sale value etc. :) Keep up the great work Serg. :)

My late husband never washed our '61 Rambler Classic. He thought it would make it rust faster. We never cleaned it because the rain would do it.

Best vid on how to use a DA polisher. Thank you, from the UK 🖒

[@sandraleewilson4817]

Bravo! From all the Videos I've seen, and I've seen several! You have far the best Beginners tutorial. Tomorrow morning I'm going to begin my process of total paint correction on my 2007 Lexus IS350 with my new DA polisher. Living in the USA i've chosen Dura-Coating products for my endeavor. Thank you for posting this Video! Mooresville NC USA

Hello Sandro, good video. Thanks.

Finally putting a face to the voice, always have great videos for a hak like me, lol.

[@alexisamtosta]

Shouldnt you prime the pads first? All detailers I follow all say that you should prime the pad first then you add the 4 dots +/-

[@josematienzo5861]

You are the best thank you for explained nice and easy !!

[@EileenTheCr0w]

I'm curious why you couldn't use a typical flashlight or led, what makes those lights reveal scratches better?

[@frankkallam7065]

I agree - this guy is good!

[@thekoshplays2207]

omg it's Sandro!

[@Ammar-ku4yx]

Hi friend so I have been told the polishing pads with lines are better than the Dimond pads is that true and why. Thanks

[@OZIPUG1970]

Great video mate 👍 I know all cars are different but in your experience do new Hyundai cars have a soft or harder paint ?

[@markapletree8422]

Great video bud... Question? How do you polish grilles and front spoiler nooks and crannies?

[@bootneylee9802]

The dark always exposes the paint. When you look at your car in the dark with a faint flourecent source, all will be revealed. If you buff off scratches with compound, remember you must polish to restore gloss. Its really that simple....

[@dragonstepper]

Just got one to polish steel doors but it wont even spin most of the time and not at all when upright, am i using it wrong?

[@danaranda4249]

How long should it take an average weekend warrior to completely compound, polish and wax a normal sized car using a DA polisher?

[@royalstevep68]

awesome, thanks. Great vid

[@dracs731]

How Would you polish around the chrome lettering? Also would you polish the plastic pillars the same way to remove defects?

shouldn't u prime the pad first?

[@SilveryFoxster]

I’ve seen Detailers prime the pad by covering it with compound prior to applying the pea sized blobs of compound. What is the best process, thanks.

[@maxt7525]

Sandro is a legend 😃🇦🇺👍👏

[@jassi2762]

Finishing polish: 1 micron in 10 minutes Fine polish: 2 micron in 10 minutes Medium polishing: 4 micron in 10 minutes Heavy polishing: 6 micron in 10 minutes Cutting compound: 8 micron in 10 minutes The surface you are going to polish has a surface imperfection that is 5 micron deep. You always need to work your way down from rough to least rough. So you would always want to finish with a finishing polish. There are a few different ways you can tackle this: #1 50 minutes with a finishing polish (-5 micron) Problem: takes a very long time. #2 10 minutes with a medium polish (-4 micron) 10 minutes with a finishing polish (-1 micron) Problem: the step from a medium polish to a finishing polish might be a little bit to big for a perfect finish. #3 10 minutes with a finishing polish (-1 micron) 20 minutes with a fine polish (-4 micron) Problem: takes a long time. #4 5 minutes with a medium polish (-2 micron) 10 minutes with a light polish (-2 micron) 10 minutes with a finishing polish (-1 micron) Problem: 3 different stages. #1: This would be a 1 stage polish, but because it takes 50 minutes it is not a smart choice. #2: With 20 minutes, this 2 stage polish would be a decent choice, but sometimes the jump from a medium polish to a finishing polish might be to big. Would be the choice to make if you are in a hurry. #3: Also a 2 stage polish, but it takes 30 minutes. Would be a good choice if you have the time. #4: Still takes 25 minutes, but you would need 3 different pads and you will be using 3 different products. Not the most logical choice.

[@muntedewok]

Just got my hands on the EX-605 kit and attacked the bonnet of my VE SS-V the other day attempting swirl removal. Went well, though I used the S20 Black but with a red pad, not sure if this was the best idea now given the video! Only did about 2-3 passes however and the swirl removal is noticeable compared to the rest of the car so far so happy with the first attempt. Wondering though, would you recommend using the DA for polish application as well? And would you remove the S20 with microfiber cloth prior to applying polish as well or buff over the top and then remove? Apologies for the absolutely novice questions however I've never used a DA for swirl removal before and I usually just use Autoglym Resin Polish by hand! Cheers.

[@karlp5007]

Great video mate ! Thanks !

[@billkhan6333]

Are you not supposed to prime the pad?

[@JustAGuy781]

Yes you are

[@c6z061]

Sandro!! 👍

[@raksh9]

This is great. Please make more like this!

[@djdynamix9369]

Hey Sandro. Let's say I do 6 passes using a compound and the swirls are there still. Can I do another 6 passes... Then if they're there another 6 and eventually they will just go if I keep doing many passes?

[@victorrandall2038]

Process of elimination.. don't be thick dude.. jus cuz you know tha' dude in tha' video... You could've called and saved .. nevermind

[@1ronhall]

Nice video.... thank you! My new da is in route and I never ever polished a car!

[@JustAGuy781]

You should really learn from other sources besides this video. It is in no way complete or correct in all he states. Be careful, you can and will ruin your car if not careful. Many things he did not even mention in this video.

[@andreiberty6418]

What brand are those pads mate? Cheers.

[@chicoleno007]

Where do I get that kit at.

[@kbstoy1913]

Excellent for the enthusiast like myself !!!THANK YOU !!!!

[@JustAGuy781]

He never even fully explained how to do the job properly so not sure what you learned from this video except minor tidbits.

[@TheMeatballSwede]

Great video, thank you for all the great information. I'm wondering though, what do you do on the tighter spots like near the foglights or sharp holes and edges? Do you go by hand?

[@ian_987]

You can buy smaller pads and backing plates for smaller areas. Mask off any glass or unpainted trim regardless.

[@JustAGuy781]

Swirl marks are from improper polishing, not improper washing guy. And a DA is good, but the same results can be had from an orbital polisher with variable speeds if the correct pad, speed and pressure are used in conjunction with a good compound and polishing formula.

[@ryanjess5111]

They're very much caused by improper washing techniques. Improper polishing simply makes them worse and adds holograms to the mix.

[@sr7002]

I have never polished my car and I have swirl marks, why are u hating on the video so much

[@254JROCK]

V good ty

[@JustAGuy781]

Single stage correction is terminology normally only used with single stage paint, not base coat/clear coat. There is a difference and you should not give folks wrong information. You never even covered the highly popular single stage paint and how to properly cut and buff it.

[@JustAGuy781]

Another guy on here selling a kit that folks have really no idea how to use. What a shame... Don't believe everything you see and hear people, especially on KZbin.

[@trackmedixuk]

What will you use on the edges of the bonnet ?
