No fancy polisher? No problem. No pad washer? Also not a problem. No experience polishing paint? Definitely not a problem.
This is a back to basics video on how to polish paint. First things first, you need to properly wash and decontaminate the paint. We did that already and you can see the video here: • Bare bones CERAMIC COA...
After that, all you ned is a palm sander. We found these for about $20, and they work great with our 5.5 inch yellow waffle pads. We also use Gold Standard Polish, and just a little bit of Rinseless Wash (we showcase the why in this video).
What do you think of this method?

I'm a latecomer to the GS polish. As a pro I had a lot of old inventory to use up. Finally did the first whole vehicle yesterday and the product is an absolute winner. Zero dust, easy wipe-off, good balance of cut and finish, plays well with trim and gives true results without fillers. My new staple polish. 😎👍

Great to hear, thank you David!

@archiepezek 6 месяцев назад

Great video guys. I like the idea of using rinseless wash to clean the pad between polishing sections. I've always used a stiff brush but there's no doubt that your method cleans the pad much better. Easy to do and the pad never gets clogged.

Well this is great information that we're able to dip the pad in water and get it cleaner. I did not know that and having less than 12 hours polishing as a beginner this helps. I think I used too much Sonax on a orange pad yesterday. I tried to clean it w a old kitchen brush but I don't think it did much. Temp was 93° for the high, humidity 81% here in FL. After I made the mistake of polishing my trunk, after doing two sections of the roof, I later noticed some white pittings. This was the 2nd time I did the trunk within a week. Its a practice vehicle in neglected shape but I didn't want to make it worse. I haven't found anyone address repair pitted white spots

Great video guys. Given a palm sander has such a small throw, what would be the ideal rpm for one? I was thinking that since it's such a short throw you'd want a lower speed closer to 1000rpm like a rotary, but is there any thing to worry about with a 12000rpm palm sander?

@deezTX Месяц назад

Great video, yall are the very very few that do demos on a "entire" car, unlike taped off sections or door that's been removed. With that being said, I head you say your polish is "Trim / Molding" polisher, Does that mean it won't leave the usual "white" residue behind ? I have only seen a handful claiming that. I am not a detailer but want to keep detail as simple and most effieicent as possible. Looking for an all in one polish that is trim/mold safe (no taping). Thanks guys

I have a question, what if I am using a different kind of polish that has protection in it, let’s just say something like the Rupes Uno Advanced that has 1 year of protection in the polish, do you think if it is still a good idea to wash the pad like that, remove excess and then re-use again? I wonder if this compromises the protection by having a damp pad? What are your thoughts on this. Thanks

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

It doesn’t affect the polish or protection. That said instead of using a compromise of polishing and protection, here’s a way that will be just as quick, but will yield superior results and protection. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RHyAiZZgWuc.htmlsi=Mz86gD8KdtCFiGW0

Just to understand better, the priority to clean my pad after each use? **Not every door, every use which means how many times in the door (for example). I understood correctly?

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

Yes, never put clean polish on a dirty pad.

Do you guys have a chart for speed settings for each different stroke length and for the intended purpose. I have a 21mm and an 8mm just trying to find out where a comparable setting would be for paint enhancement, or compounding heavier defects?

@diydetailofficial 20 дней назад

21mm, speed 2-3 8mm speed 3-4

Are these palm sanders any good for cutting?

@diydetailofficial Месяц назад

@dannysuarez6923 6 месяцев назад

Any link for the sander?

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

Any random orbital palm sander will work

@dominic24332 6 месяцев назад

I got a question, can you use the sand machine to remove the swirl also , or what will you use to remove swirl

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

With the wool pad it will remove swirls

@dominic24332 6 месяцев назад

Its very light swirl! Still use wool pad ? The rest is okay

@dominic24332 6 месяцев назад

And use a waffle pad to bring the shine out

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

Yes

@johnlabernik4599 Месяц назад

I’ve seen in your other videos using the palm sander with the wool pad. How do you decide between the wool and yellow waffle for just a polish with a palm sander?

@diydetailofficial Месяц назад

A test spot.

Could you use Quick Beads or Ceramic Gloss to protect your car after this procedure?

@diydetailofficial 4 месяца назад

Yes you can , apply a spray of either to the surface after you wipe the DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish off with a rinseless dampened towel as a drying aid.

@@diydetailofficialthank you, your videos are incredibly helpful. I'm gona buy some of your stuff.

After you “Polish” do you need to put on a coating? Isn’t the polish a protectant? Or is the polish removing the paint protection?

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

The polish is a pure abrasive, no protection.

@paulattanasio3061 6 месяцев назад

@@diydetailofficial would a "spray on wax" be fine to use after this polishing or does it need to be something stronger like a Ceramic Coating. I cannot do a Ceramic Coating because I do not have a garage to let it cure. My vehicles are all exposed to the elements 24/7.

@diydetailofficial 6 месяцев назад

Yes you can do a ceramic coating. DIY Detail coatings can be applied outside, and only need one hour of curing before they can get wet.

@paulattanasio3061 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! I will definitely be checking that out when it gets warmer here in NY 😆
