I watched other DIY polishing videos a few months back, and 1) it took a lot of effort on my part because they said to apply pressure on the pad by pushing the machine, and 2) I ender up with results I wasn't happy with, and some burn-in (hope that's the correct term), and yes, I may have did some things incorrectly, being it my first time using a rotary polisher, but it really discouraged me to polish my cars again. Roll on a few months later, today I want to polish my son's car and happened across this video after watching several "beginner" videos that talked too much about irrelevant things, and were too technical (sandpapering!?!) for a beginner video, then I landed on your video, and you encouraged me to try to do it again, with easy and logical steps, and hope it comes out great.

Great informative video. Not a rotary user myself but you've taken out the scare factor for me. One great tip you mentioned which last got of a UK detailer was using a rinseless wash to remove the residual polish/compound. I think that's genius. I tried it when l polished my car and it made removal easy and l felt much safer. All that's left behind are maybe some polymers which are way easier to remove with a panel wipe than polishing oils. So safer again.

Just better and consistent results…easier. Finally getting to a point in my work flow where I can stop worrying about results as 90% of all my correction work , even on nicer cars , are daily drivers. They and I are not looking for perfection, especially when I’ve educated them on the true costs to deliver and the toll on the paint.

“Shiny scratches” over “perfect” failing clear any day. Even on my personal vehicle, I honestly just love washing it and pushing the shine to its limits. Yeah I’m generally careful to not add swirls but I have realistic expectations and I get more enjoyment out of washing it with rinseless wash & wax then I do staring at it letting dust collect because “oh no a swirl!” I bring this philosophy to my customers as well. They don’t care about swirls, they just want a detailed car in a reasonable amount of time. Besides, even if I accidentally install a few love marks, most of the cars I could use a light polish anyway. Most people want a shiny, clean car-and not a perfect car with a detailer telling them how they can and cannot wash their own car lol

There are two kinds of detailers, ones that have a System 4000 pad cleaner and those that need one. It's probably one of the best investments I ever bought! Growing up in the car business, I learned to polish back in the late 70's with a rotary. I could then, and still can, get a very slick, swirl free finish with a rotary and a waffle pad. This was like a flash back and was exactly what my mentors back then said. More people should really learn how to wield a rotary. Thanks once more!

Hello yvan what a great video. Will share it with my students. One thing I'm renowned for is being fanatical about keeping my pads clean and lasting ages. The one key to success I teach is having pads centred perfectly on the plate. A few mm out and swirls can occur plus vibration. My fein rotary starts at 200 and also does not have a trigger, has push pads to adjust revs but I like to use it between 350, 500 and 600 or 900 at most. 350-500 to finish.

These videos are great Mr. Lacroix! Thank you for imparting your wealth of knowledge and skill. I have been professionally detailing for about 3 years now and am looking to get into more boat detailing. I have a mobile business and it seems to be an untapped market in my area of Wisconsin. I've buffed out a couple of smaller fishing boats with my DA, but it seems to me that the standard polishing tool in the Marine industry is the rotary. I actually have a big 32 ft boat detail coming up and was wondering do the same principles of low speed and low heat apply to gel coat? I've polished a lot of cars, but not many boats and typically use a DA or forced rotation tool. I see many marine detailers using big wool pads and high speeds. I imagine that is generating a lot of heat on the gel coat and probably a lot of swirls. I also have seen wet sanding as a technique, followed up by a rotary to remove sanding marks and then finishing with a DA. I'm curious how you would tackle a slightly oxidized 32ft boat? Many thanks!
@Detailers-Business-Academy2 жыл бұрын
Yes a rotary, using low speed and no pressure will always work faster, better, and safer. Just because others keep repeating mistakes from the past doesn’t make it correct. Gelcoat is very sensitive to heat, in a bad way.

Commendations to you sir. You are the rarest of all things: and honest man. Honest video. Honest channel! Its great that there are people who can profit themselves and find gainful employment doing jobs that others of us don't feel as rewarded by. They should be compensated appropriately for what are often jobs that require strenuous physical effort. Such 'domestic' maintenance jobs seem to go more and more out of fashion with each successively entitled generation, who are 'above' caring for vehicles by investment of 'personal' effort. However, none of this car maintenance is rocket science, and this content provider is to be commended by inviting 'all' to win greater personal communion with possessions that otherwise own you. Each time you work to maintain your vehicle you are reminded of its importance, and the consequence of your financial investment in its purchase. This husbandry becomes a paternity of sorts, and that what makes the vehicle feel more like its yours; as opposed to you paying someone else (in the case of a lease) for the privilege of driving theirs.

Your videos have convinced me to get a rotary (better finishing tool than a DA, better shine, no micro-marring). Two questions: 1) my workbench is Milwaukee (so I have M18 batteries). I see the lowest RPM on the Milwaukee rotary is 600. But it sounds like you prefer Flex. Is that because of Flex’s ergonomics or its lower RPM? Is 600 RPM on the Milwaukee low enough? 2) in some of your videos you’ve said - if you only get one tool get a DA. You’ve already convinced me to get the rotary so what drives the DA recommendation (as the only tool)? Thanks.

Forgot to add: i am doing only my cars (not a pro detailer). I don’t want to cut, except maybe the hood (light scratches). So my thinking is go with a rotary with yellow waffle pad and gold standard polish. And for the hood: either do the yellow pad twice or use a cutting pad, and then the yellow waffle pad to polish. Thoughts?

The Milwaukee tools are fine, it’s the weight I don’t care for. The DA is more versatile if you want to cut, but in your case the rotary with the red jeweling pad would be my choice.

great video Yvan... 1 question, let's say you use a orange (medium) cut pad.. Does the same apply to using a black finishing pad??? Speed 1, no pressure and let the machine do its thing?

Yes, slower is better in all cases.
