In this video, we demonstrate how pad choice can greatly impact the finish on your automotive paint. With the DIY Detail polishing system, we offer three pads and one liquid polish -- Gold Standard Polish. You have the choice of our wool cutting pad, our yellow waffle pad and our red jeweling pad.
So which one do you choose, and why?
The process of pad choice actually begins BEFORE that; proper paint polishing is all about the prep. We need a clean surface to really determine what's happening on paint.
That's why we spend so much time in this video demonstrating a proper wash and decontamination.
Here's what we use:

Refreshing information guys. ie. Damping pads,washing pads instead of buying more,NO pressure polishing. Wiping down with damp towel b4 dry one to finish And much more. The simple things make the most difference. Brilliant

The incredible suds, iron remover/ decon towel and polish/pad worked great! No dusting and it was by far the easiest as far as effort to results I've used. Great stuff!!

It definitely can’t be overlooked at how well the gold standard polish works. If I’ve got a persistent scratch I’ll go with adding a spot of a cutting compound (3D 500) to the 1 spray of gold standard polish. Scratch is diminished with minimal work.

I moved the car around onto diff light for so long and looked for high spots. Today i found one hugh spit i missed in a weird bend on the trunk door. Its barely noticiable but now i see it. Is the only way to correct this to gold standard polish it out then reapply?

I have a 24' GMC sierra truck that is black which I recently purchased. Apparently the dealership ran it thru a car was and it really swirled and fine scratched the paint. I been using your micro fiber pad followed by the red polish pad on my Milwaukee 15 mm DA. The paint looks amazing but some of the scratches are still there after multiple passes. Is there another product I should use for a better cut then polish to get the remainder out before I apply the stack? and yes I know about perfection but I want it right.

Just got a brand new lexus. Have only driven it home from the dealer so far. Its pretty clean doesnt seem like they put any waxes on it. Im going to put on diy 5 year. Have gold standard. What would process be being that its so new? Im thinking a decon wash, diy clay towel and iron remover, quick polish then coat. Am I missing something?

​@@diydetailofficialThanks for the quick reply. In this video they used a water spot remover. Do you think I should on the new car? If so after the iron decon? Then polish?

I am noticing micro scratches on the clear plastic that covers my speedometer. I have been using a glass cleaner to clean it. Which product should use to not put any more micro scratches in my dash while cleaning it?

@DIY Detail I’ve never seen you use a Tar Remover, only an Iron Remover. I believe a Tar Remover doesn’t react well with those type Decon towels. So when, if at all, would you use a Tar Remover please???
@diydetailofficial
@diydetailofficial Ай бұрын
Use DIY Detail Tree Sap Remover to remove Tar. Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel is not compatible with removing tar.

Does it really matter what order you use water spot remover, tree sap remover, or tar remover when decontaminating a car, as long as they are rinsed well?

why not use water spot remover in conjunction with clay towel?
@diydetailofficial
@diydetailofficial Ай бұрын
They are not compatible, DIY Detail Water Spot Remover doesn’t provide sufficient lubrication, and will damage the Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel

The phrase, "start with the least aggressive method first" has been said before. So wouldn't it be wise to use the Yellow Waffle followed by the Red Jeweling first before attempting the wool?

Yes, but in this case we knew we needed wool.
