Great job everyone. One favor though. Although the slow motion and fast motion may look cool, it doesn't help us at home. We are watching to see the speed that you are actually moving the machine around. We can't tell that if you keep showing slow motion/fast motion. Better to just keep it on real time speed. Thank you!

[@mesixfoot]

They have mentioned on another video 1 inch per second. Some that helps.

[@dorkvader2673]

Hey dude Ive been polishing cars for 20 years and when you do it in slow motion with this Da machine its to make the pad rotate only for renovating the paint with the right pad.And when you move it faster and more slightly its for polishing.

[@Fractureless1]

They balanced it to show the speed.

[@jordanshim380]

You high bro? It clearly shows the speed and explains 🤣

[@scorpiuswireless1]

He said 1" a second

[@ronniem3592]

This is the best video on KZbin about detailing a car using compound,polish and wax the correct way

[@goku843]

Today was my first time detailing my car. I watched your video twice, then I jumped right at it. I'm very impressed with the results and the ease of it. Thanks for the easy breakdown gentlemen.

[@jimmyallen3850]

If you do the same thing the next time you will see even better results. I remember after my 50th detail how much better I was at doin it.

[@seymourscagnetti1413]

BEST DA TUTORIAL ON KZbin! WHY CAN'T MY USA SOUL BROTHERS PUT OUT A VIDEO THIS GOOD? CHEERS, AND THANKS.

[@gioooo9130]

The number one best tutorial I’ve seen for polishing and compounding a car, simple and straight to the point.

[@bbdetailing9123]

Even though I've polished some cars, have used these products, I still watched the video. And....I enjoyed it. You guys did a pretty good job with it.

[@donohoe71]

Really helpful video, thank you. These two presenting are really good together covering all the questions I had.

[@unions100]

This is the first time I have seen you guys and I really have to say very well explained and Demonstrated, Thank you guys keep up the good work👍👍👍

[@dominicknmamonejr.7531]

Best video description on how to use products without any bull. Thanks Guys

[@petrolhead28]

This is very useful. As a fan of old motors and fed up with detailers who adore shiny new motors I think I will buck my previous ambivalence to car cleaning and try this on the old E39 I just bought.

[@keldmllnitz4626]

This is the BEST video I have seen on how to start your polishing journey

[@gianlucaantoniocamilleri1966]

Brilliant video... Been using your products for about 4 years now, got my 15 year old dailied Clio to show standard. Love it.... Can't wait to try the DA out

[@jmracing2010]

Absolutely looking amazing really helpful

[@Endri2044]

Thanks so much mate, I’ve recently new to polishing, and your video has helped me so much, I’ve seen countless videos and none have explained it as good as you guys

[@mreh145]

Probably the most concise video on how to DA polish for beginners on youtube...good job

[@tbrennancreative4958]

The best tutorial. Quick, concise, and included the wax portion.

[@robertbryce7626]

Great video. DITCH THE DAMN BOOM BOX!

[@Abcca11]

I watched every episode of this series like it was Game of Thrones hahaha amazing stuff guys! Thank you so much for the helpful tips.

[@luisbarragan8144]

Please don’t tell me they get naked on every episode😂😂😂😂that makes me not want to se it..

[@Song-rh2oi]

Really enjoyed this video. I have been researching how to use a DA polisher, and I loved the step-by-step detailed explanations here. Well done!

[@rickyshort8637]

best video to date for me .I am a green horn but started right away with your product and am very pleased. Thanks for the video now making a very time consuming project it even easier and faster.

[@TehmasKhan]

Best video I have watched so far on this topic 👏🏻👍🏻♥️

[@djbeatmatch2010]

definitely one of the best beginner videos out there , thanks guys

[@callumwilliams8270]

Used this as a guide for my first ever machine polish today and the results were outstanding, thanks!

[@paulrichard4945]

Excellent video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Schallingora Dexterous Programme Scheme (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off product for building any shed in no time with no experience without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my GF after many years got astronomical success with it.

[@mikefromguildford9195]

THIS is the only video you need. Wish I found this first. Nice one!

[@SH-id2lb]

rarely do i watch anything on KZbin all the way thru if its longer than 2 min... i only skipped ahead 1 time so thats my version of an Emmy award (as if any cared about award shows) so give this guy a raise Meguiars as he has definitely increased your sales!

[@Ry77x]

I did this on my 1999 red Saab vert and it came out great! I used their Gold canuba wax and finished upkeep with the detail spray in the maroon colored bottle. Nice

[@tatne111]

Just brought one can’t wait to use it and see the results!

[@mikew4088]

Excellent job lads! This helped me confirm my decision on purchasing the Meguires polisher

[@roonyi5352]

Excellent video! Explained the steps really well. Thank you!

[@teamsami_ethio]

Seems quite simple. I just got my products and I’m gonna try it. I’m hope it goes as smooth as that.🤞🏽 😂

[@stevenjones1972]

Hi,my car is like the left hand side of the bonnet,a cobwebbed effect,white paint work, seeing this video has made me easy it is using the MT320,plus the polishes,I will have to try it,thanks for the video 👍.

[@valleyken]

[@pravinjugwanth7359]

Well done Guys. Great explanation and awesome presentation. I am definitely more confident now to machine polish my car. Pravin Jugwanth, South Africa.

[@jomeugene8492]

Excellent vid. Thanks for this.

[@manzahmad4134]

BRILLIANT VIDEO! THANKS GUYS

[@packman5906]

I was a pretty good at high speed buffing back in the late 80's and back then there was no DIY type systems. Never burned an edge, even on exotics. The way it is now makes it so easy. And I was using Meguiars back then as well! Good info here as I have restarted my biz as a side income

[@michaelrosales2874]

Its called rotary buffing :)

[@clintsaines9274]

With these dual action polishers is it dummy proof?

[@bafattvahetere]

I liked all the paintings. No buffering needed.

[@VNZMay]

Really helpful video. Gonna get MT 320 soon. Thanks

[@sparko2012]

Very informative, thanks guys.

[@CheesusSVT]

Great video, love how you explained how to use the products. 😁😸

[@captaincrunch3408]

Excellent video! You made it seem very simple!

[@dandesouto6076]

Excellent working boys

[@aaronloritts3937]

Very helpful guys, thanks so much!

[@russthompson7994]

Excellent video showcasing the Meguire's products and how they should be applied. One point I would make is, color code your towels by application. It helps the simple person (me!) keep from making mistakes. Thank you for posting.

[@denisef1153]

I do that. Makes it so much easier. I got towels to match the pad. Orange pad gets orange towels, blue pad blue towels etc. my gray towels are strictly for drying.

[@Angel_detailer_772]

Thank you for all this info very helpful and I will be ordering all those products on my. New journey or detailing

[@aaronpurvis6684]

Feel lot more confident doing my first attempt of full car polish will be using this as a guide keep up the good work and help thanks guys

[@yaqubtareen7389]

Excellent video!

[@darkmatter4199]

Awesome vid lads!

[@resist9722]

Amazing video. Cheers.

[@gordonmccartney5648]

Good video. Recently got a DA polisher and never used one before. Fingers crossed

[@naoufelbelghazi9597]

Excellent vidéos guys that I watched a dozen times without getting enough of it. One question please: Did you use only one pad for each step? 3 in total ? Or changed them after 2-3 panels ? Thanks again for the great job!

[@Divocwax]

Well explained. The slowest speed is actually one that gets the job done fast. I'm thinking that's more for the professional who is trying to make a living. The home guy would rather take his time - even though this dual action is supposed to prevent burning through, it still will burn through if you dwell too long in one area, because those machines go relatively fast.

[@tyquanwashington.8510]

Mequiars 110 followed by 210 is golden. I had water spots all over and fallout/contamination. Clayed the whole car, hit it with 110 and then 210 and my paint looks brand new.

[@kevinyork4757]

so then which is better: Mirror glaze 110 compound and 210 polish - or - the Ultimate compound & Ultimate Polish?

[@tyquanwashington.8510]

@@kevinyork4757 idk but 110 and 210 gets the job done well.

[@jblondon1327]

Excelent, well explained

[@KonstantinosStathopoulos]

Just by noticing all the details you give shows how professional you are! I'm currently searching for ways to polish epoxy resin on a table project and I'm getting some ideas. The main idea as I understand is to apply a thick compound for sanding marks, and then a thinner to give it a gloss.

[@jamesbeaumont1202]

Looks sick lads

[@dmetaxi]

The way of putting the ultimate compound to the cutting pad, reminds me of street food 🍲 :D

[@vikdatta6914]

he is the best tutorial.Thanks:)

[@alexandrefaustino2448]

Hi guys love your series of video. One request would be to indicate whenever the video is speed up when you are working on the car so it can give the viewer a better understanding on how fast they should move their pad.

[@ramielsayed7401]

Very true. The speeding up part of the video hides the true pace of each step; a very key detail.

[@aaronerskine3401]

thank you for great video

[@nighthawkj30A4]

Been Using my Meguires MT300 and makes not only application of Meguires Polishes and waxes. Faster but also gives show room car results. Love My MT300

[@meguiars]

👍

[@watch-box]

Good job, but you should show prepping the paintwork correctly removing any contaminates, and cleaning the pads between sections for people like me who are new to the process.

[@gsgleason]

They literally said they started by using the clay bar.

[@Clean_Cars]

Great video thanks learnt a lot

[@JamezAdam]

Great video

[@iSleepDoc]

Thanks thanks thanks…. the best video!!!!!

[@jezlucas3878]

Thanks guys

[@caboodle5462]

great video

[@clivedsouza9537]

I would love to try it

[@markwoods7471]

Until I watched this I was going to settle for an 80 quid polisher. After watching this, I'm definitely going for the MT320. Looks amazing, and I'd rather have piece of mind that it won't die and kill my car at the same time. Brilliant video!

[@106adamm]

You got sucked in

[@G_Ozare]

Well done

[@dominickjoosten1449]

Very good video Guys. Compliments from the Netherlands. Do you also have tip's and trick's machine polish round/small area's? Video would be great! Greetz!

[@mrheisenberg72]

Good video dudes

[@john-hg1dc]

thanks for this really helped

[@vaughanmarsh5429]

I love these videos ! Can you do similar for the boat/RV products?

[@bafattvahetere]

----and aero planes?

[@qusaijabarisada]

Thank you!

[@johnmcclinton1494]

Nice job

[@johnsherwin6006]

Great video thx

[@nighthawkj30A4]

Also i use the Gold Class wax because the Ultimate dries to clear. I can’t see it also i just Bought this DA polisher can’t wait to use it.

[@TheGumpster01]

Very easy steps to follow for the junior detailer to Work with..thank-you My question is this....when would I be able to put either a silicone finishing coat or ceramic seal on the finish surface...

[@Cliff1029]

great video.

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

All these videos I've seen show working one section so I'm curious. I'd suppose you're applying more product as you work a new section. When do you get to cleaning or swapping pads?

[@barkyvonschnauzer2188]

God job matey!

[@stevecutts5450]

Great video guys. Have you a link for the polisher, pads and products? Thanks.

[@simonmoden4072]

Great vid
