Nice video, but you need to talk and explain and cut that crap annoying background music.

[@captwar]

A gm Come to think of it you are right. The video was nice but not all that helpful.

[@opelpedia]

Warner Athey we will do a remake and give all the explication needed : )

[@nthlevel]

+A gm (snowman) i thought the same, hurts my heart to see this guy use so much wax on the first coat. thin coats not plaster it on or you will use all your wax or have uneven surface

[@adjmbb5109]

It was good at the start

[@IKonrad112]

Don't apply the wax in circles. Circles don't allow your hand to apply even pressure on the applicator pad, and that leads to uneven disbursement of the wax. Look at how the top of your swirls are whiter from more wax deposits and the bottom half of the swirls are darker from less. Apply in a north/south or east/west motion to avoid this. It also saves you more work during the buffing process.

[@jeremyculpin5354]

Oh My God !!! the power cable on the paint........

[@ral8031]

😱😱😱

[@0.1u29]

i just love how the wire touches the car, great video man!

[@RileyBanksWho]

What a weird comment

[@sanderbijlgmail9579]

When you using a woolpad on the paint its getting little scratches in de paint when used a rotary polisher like you have. But you need to step it up to a second polish with a DA to remove any scratches, swirls, hotburns, and give it a IPA wipe down before getting the wax going on.

[@gprice1978]

Nooooooo! This should be called "how to shine your hood and scratch the fuck out of your wings at the same time!"

[@incognito3743]

Power cord over the shoulder to prevent scratching or upgrade to cordless. Could be wrong but aren’t there applicators for the buffer? Attach application pad, apply wax, when done remove applicator attach buffer pad and buff. Yes/No?

[@zombiekiller-hp9be]

put your cable over your shoulder then it wont be slapping about your bonnet and re scratching it

[@lululhad7948]

@@LITTLEBRAT775081 you forgot to ask the question

[@josiehouseleg7956]

Why am I watching this I'm 12

[@joelcarpenter4326]

NEVER let the cord drag on the car. That;s a NO NO!!!

[@kennethmaccourt7393]

that's right! the cord could have dirt or grit on it and its like a file on your paint. I always put the cord over my shoulder.

[@JohnPaluska]

That paint looks new BEFORE the wax lol

[@opelpedia]

You use the pad to remove any dust particles that might be on the car, you wash the car and drive it home were you are going to buff it so on that trip your car will have small traces of dust on it. And the second time you use the cloth is to remove lint from the buffing.

[@rkgsd]

Why not apply the wax with the polisher instead of by hand?

[@jaredj.6915]

Michael Zak is correct....put polish on the cloth buffer to apply to the paint, then buff off (I do this by hand with a micro-fiber cloth) I then buff the polish with a difference cloth ''If needed'' and then apply wax and buff off by hand....do this panel by panel. What I usually do then is hit it up very gently By HAND over the whole car with a fresh microfiber to ensure I didnt miss anything ;) Just a tip! If your really motivated you can put two coats of wax on your car. I use turtle wax btw

[@danlc95]

I used to use that type of buffer years ago. I'd use a terrycloth bonnet to apply swirl removers or cleaner waxes, and remove by hand. I kind of miss the simplicity of those machines.

[@goldenhorshoe4814]

Awesome vid. Just looking to see what kinda job a auto buffer does and I can tell a pretty awesome quick job

[@opelpedia]

Thanks 👍

[@SHIPMANANDDRONES]

This video should be called watch me polish my car.

[@darylanaya7431]

You can clearly see the difference in the shine. Nice job.

[@opelpedia]

Thank you!

[@z1ltch433]

Should be noted to never wax in the sun and only on cool surfaces. Always wax in the shade on cooler days.

[@danlc95]

Z1LTCH - Unless you're a mobile detailer, and/or using products that can be used in the sun.

[@damonhearne6936]

Right off the bat you blew it by removing the dust with a rag (microfiber or not). Get a California Duster dude.

[@opelpedia]

+Damon Hearne the paint from the car in the video is 7 years old if microfiber would produce scratches it would be visible by now.

[@larrywatson30]

that's what your wife said damon

[@swingrobot2000]

+Damon Hearne Also right of the bat he scratched his fender with the electric cord of the polisher

[@opelpedia]

+Johan Sving actually i didn't, sorry to disappoint you!

[@rkgsd]

Damon Hearne California Dusters aren't immune from scratching either if the right dirt is on them.

[@MrBiggz-cq6ux]

Never run buffer with a dry pad no wax or polish. You will burn the paint, though the RPM's on your buffer looks slow.

[@balasaionut4190]

I could not watch the whole clip I saw when the device wire whip the car...

[@piolinochenta9028]

Muchos se obsesionan con aplicar mucha presión al equipo y no creo que se requiere con el propio peso de la máquina tiene

[@duncho1]

NEVER let touch power cord the car paint! NEVER!!!

[@larsdahl6594]

Do I need to use a microfiber cloth to remove dust particles before waxing and polishing? I don't want to spend the cash, so would it be OK to use an old dish rag instead? Thanks for the tip on always using gloves, though, it makes all the difference I'm sure. BTW, don't pay attention to the haters bashing you for dragging the cord of your buffer on the paint; paint is harder than the plastic of the cord. It won't scratch. It's called science, duh!

[@aznazguy]

+Lars Dahl It's the dirt on the cord that's the problem.

[@zeljkoharandi7067]

+Lars Dahl u must be trolling :) If u can buy polish and wax, sure 5 €/$ for a microfibre wont hurt that much. But i guess you dont even know what polishing is meant to do, cant see how u can polish with no microfibre to wipe polish?

[@craigmail2130]

cool musik wont do you justice

[@tmrthiago]

This is how NOT to wax your car.

[@johnbeer5242]

tmrthiago why ?

[@wesleykleveter5487]

Because he's going over it so much he's pretty much burning off the cars factory clear coat

[@wesleykleveter5487]

A micro fiber towel suits it just fine

[@TheOpinionSports]

Wesley Kleveter he won't burn the clear coat unless he stays in one area too long.

[@wesleykleveter5487]

Okcboi ....hes buffing way to much ... with the wrong type of pad...hes burning his clear coat

[@mountainconstructions]

Tells us to micro fibre the car for any dust Then drags the lead all over the paint 🤣🤣🤣

[@andreww7857]

Maybe start with a car that doesn’t already have a pristine finish..😐

[@TheGearPeddler]

I can guarantee you that paint is horribly swirled.

[@craigmail6994]

do you add pressure when you wax or just do it gently and soft

[@DirtNassty]

@@craigmail6994 nooo....always let the machine do the work! ...I know this an old ass comment but for future reference in case some one else has this same question! :)

[@rexdumont426]

get a decent buffer for god sake...any decent random orbital

[@Sounga74]

rex dumont what you mean ?

+belyeu4190 it is very nice

[@cocojumbo4]

One thing is still unclear: after how many uses do you put all that fancy equipment (starting with the pad) in the garbage?

[@HomerSimpson555551]

Really enjoyed the intro and EDM throughout the very informative video. Love it boss

[@stonerdude4611]

Just had to ask why you had the cord rubbing the side of car and kept yanking on it shouldn't it have been over the shoulder out of the way. Why didn't you pop the hood to protect the edges when you were tilting the polisher when it was to be flat to avoid burning @ 2200 rpm,

[@opelpedia]

+Kevin Perry On wool pads you never go above 1000 - 1200 depending on how accustomed to use this type of pad.

[@danlc95]

That's only really necessary with high speed rotary buffers. The tool he's using is a random orbit polisher. The random orbital is designed to mimic hand movement. Although, when you get into something like a variable speed Porter-Cable 7424xp, yeah, I've burned through edges with that thing on speed 6. He'd have to sit on that edge for a week, with an aggressive pad, and compound to achieve strike through.

[@randomrazr]

i would apply wax with a machine, but be quicker to buff it off with a microfiber coth

[@devinswanson1752]

This is a joke right??? I'm waiting for someone to jump out of the background and say, now this is exactly what you don't do and this is not the buffer you would ever use. I didn't even know they sold those cheap buffers anymore but may K-Mart does the last time I seen one they were $19.95 And they are not capable of removing ANY imperfections from the paint.

[@albertpacer3681]

Its not meant to remove paint imperfections u ass clown its a wax job not a buff job,,Hes not cutting hes waxing idiot!

[@MikeZak101]

why put wax on then use a cutting wheel to buff it off, that pad is designed to cut the paint with polish, the wax is supposed to go on after to seal and protect the polishing stage, all this has done is mask the swirls & scratches with wax and then buffed with a machine instead of just using a cloth, strange technique, give it a couple of washes and it will look the same as before....

[@johnbeer5242]

Michael Zak so how would u do it? do tell do tell

[@JoseMartinez-lm3ps]

Cut and protect at the same time?

[@juanjovillafana8954]

[@berczigabor]

Waaaaay too much wax used. Also cable hanging lose and scratching up the already polished/waxed paint on the side of the car.

[@backwardzhatguy9953]

Two words, "Cherry crush."

[@michaelpast19]

I bought one of those in auto zone never again now I own a dewalt cordless polisher

[@AllenRivota27]

you use for too much wax, and you do not need to do small circles with paste wax.

[@junitolopez3762]

Allen Kennedy what do you recommend, instead of circles when applying paste. Thx u

[@ricardosifuentes8746]

Allen Kennedy this guy 😂😂

[@ernestocaamano7818]

I am wondering if a lot of these guys showing how to buff a car are actually reading the product's instructions? Most of the buffing, rubbing compounds are recommended to be used in shaded areas, specifically, when doing dark colored cars. Suggestion, watch the youtube instructions HOWEVER, you need to read the instructions on the product that you are planning to use.

[@joserobertoneves3415]

The best wax

[@LessonLearnt101]

should ALWAYS keep that orbital polisher flat to the paints surface. I noticed several times you lited the unit up to polish on the front tip on the pad. This is very bad for paint , It creates a hotspot and can actualy damage the paint

[@semorebutts3613]

he did everything wrong...

[@PaxHominibusBonaeVoluntatis]

so why the surface is shining ? Where you can see any drawback ?

[@josephturner3913]

Pax Vobis way too much product rubbing cord all over surface of car

[@mml1224]

where do u find whool bonnets? for a 900 waxmaster? thanks, great job!

[@JMNTN]

i can bet you that paint is swirled in the sun, wool pads are made as a cutting pad for compound not for any sort of finishing. No need to use a machine to remove wax if you use good wax it should come off easily.

[@januszzsebixowa9219]

waxing with wool pads? wool pads its for cutting wtf?! please dont make me cry :D swirlomatic ;)

[@chrisward7738]

Janusz z Sebixowa waxing with a wool pad isn't gonna do anything bad as long as you keep it moving and apply little pressure

[@januszzsebixowa9219]

This tittle should be "how dont waxing your car"

[@opelpedia]

you won't have any benefit, it will be just harder to buff off and get that perfect shine.

[@oalquimistaalquimista4800]

The wire should be over the shoulders to avoid accidents. learn the basics

[@60trickpa]

what kind of polish did you use first to get the shine? Wax is a protection not a polish. A

[@thomas4776]

Is that a Wen polisher? If not what brand! Like your video.

[@thebrain678]

Whose car is that flashes?

[@ianhe-kensken9303]

Play at x 2

[@ibraheemaljouhi3610]

what happens to the dried wax on the machine!!. i heard that wool pads are for compounding not even polishing. waxing off with wool pad screams swirls to me

[@opelpedia]

dried wax is removed with microfiber cloth and for the second part of your question swirls are obtain at higher rpm then the rpm that can be reached with a buffing machine like the one in the video. swirls are the result of bad technique plus rps and always make the difference between waxing and polishing

[@DSIfan99]

so much wrong. Apply with a machine not remove, cord touching paint, using wool bonnet (mars black paint) putting too much wax, Overdoing the whole process. I can do a whole car in under 20 minutes you took 8 for half the hood.

[@javiermiranda643]

Hi can you answer my question bro? After the shine from the wax or polish dry's will there inevitably be swirl marks? I've always Wanted to buff my car but I'm afraid it causes swirl marks

[@opelpedia]

Wax is not the same thing as polish! You get swirl marks from polishing your car and not holding the rotating head perpendicular to the paint and also using to high rpm on the polishing machine.

[@quantumaquatic1767]
