How do I show finish polish. Secret revealed with Evan’s detailing and polishing.

In this video I show you how I do my show finish polish step. This is my very final step I do on my super high-end stuff. I hope you enjoy this video cause it’s one of the last secrets I had left.

It takes time. If you got black lines you likely need to sand if it’s rough. Or if it’s nice you need to add pressure and tighten your overlap. 9 out of 10 that’s a fit.

I am a novice at this I’ve done my own truck 3 times over the last 3 years I’m getting better it is extremely tedious it takes patience and a strong will . It will wear you out if you’re not serious about it don’t even start . I do a 4 stage polish I finish with flannel wheel and zephyr blue moon and it comes out fantastic I get a lot of compliments and it feels good when it’s done. Gonna do it again in a couple weeks. I’m getting mentally prepared now. This time I’m taking the drives off that hub assembly is a pain in the $&@. I should send you a before and after. I ve learned a lot from you.

Hey man I have a polishing buisness as well I got a set of forgiato wheels, and if I polish them with my airway wheels they get hazy looking before they polish out, I asked the customer if they had a clear coat or any coating on them he said no and if I hand polish it turns black, so I doubt they have a coating. The same thing happened to me before on a set of American forces. I was wondering if you had any insight on this issue.

[@jessicaleigh1985]

Evan, above all, I love learning from your videos. Question: in this video you use brown compound, but I heard you in another video say not to use brown on stainless steel. I am currently polishing a keg, first time polishing ever. I have been following your instructions, but now I am a little confused. I would love to have your input.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

This tank is aluminum not stainless steel. I do not use brown on stainless steel ever. You do not achieve good results with most brown rouges on stainless.

[@Fleshnbloodrobot]

I’m doing ss instead but I thought it went green to then white. Guessing you can use the same green at a slower speed and softer buff to polish with better than white?? Thank you for all the great content. Superb

Do you use any kind of liquid metal polish for the final step? Like California purple, zephyr pro 40, mothers, etc?

I personally don't. I find that using hand polish after I have finish buffed will only scratch the surface. But I do use my time2shine hand polish to maintain in between polishes.

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

Necesitará un desengrasante para quitar la grasa, ya sea con limpiador de frenos o Orange Supreme. El lijado sólo lo empuja hacia los poros del tanque. Una vez que lo limpies, debería lijarse mejor y pulir bien. www.goshineon.com

What sealer do you use after the fiinish

[@EvanStegerMetalPolishing]

I don't use sealer. Most good rouges have wax in them. That is the best sealant you will get other than a coating and coatings dull the shine. Hand polishes have less wax content than the rouges. Rouge is pushed into the pores whereas hand polish or hand sealants are just wiped onto the surface. I hope this makes sense.

[@MikeLJ-ku7ov]
