First time I ever used a DA was about four years ago and I’m almost 60 lol, I always did everything by hand, I’ve learned a lot from watching these guys and gals, you did an awesome job Amy 😁👍
Back in the 70s and 80s in Orlando. We used to run down to the local junkyard and buy a hood. Take it home set it up like you guys have it and just literally practiced ruining it wheel hopping it all over the place burning the paint just tearing it up.then trying to fix it.. Those are fun times.
There are so many people on social media telling people how to polish. Yvan’s ideas always struck a chord with me and maybe it’s because us racers think differently. The rotary is so much smoother and my forearms can tell a difference after polishing compared to a dual action polisher. Thank you for sharing this instructive video!
In skilled hands,,nothing is better than a rotary.Smoother and faster with much less vibration.The d.a. has its place though no doubt.Also,clear coat is 2 part catalyzed paint,it has no pigment to it.Great vid!
Great video it was like tv quality! Also very informative for any detailer to learn about what it really takes to burn paint and proper form. Thx again from one Phil to another! Hehe👍
I love his comment about priming the pad. Yeah I’ve seen guys do that. Also put on a ton of polish. They don’t blow it out on the hood and they turn the rotary on and they sling it all over the place. I remember back in the day using the rotary, we literally had to put bedsheets over the windshieldsand then water them down so they’d stay. Yeah I guess I would say I was one of the guys slinging it.
I’m so surprise Phil! Because I have watch your videos for long time I remember when you polish you said a drop of water will ruin the polishing process, but DIY people said to prime with water so does it mean it would ruin polish process Phil?
Yeah that’s just one way or option. Remember, there is no rule here, just options and different ways of doing things. Try it and see how it works for you.
Thank you Phil & DIY Detail for putting this on for us. It’s a big help!! C’mon Chelsea no cute one liners in this one? 😂. Thanks again to Car Supplies Warehouse for doing this!
Man, Uncle explaint about rotary and DA awesome, very very very inteligent. Truthfully i use rotary here in Bali and im comfortable. like Uncle say, first time i do polish with rotary thd top speed is just 4-5. ussually do in speed 2-3 the result is shine brilliant. its depent on what polish product you gonna hve much so called swirl or not, i think
@@MirandaDetailing your welcome. please keep "enlightmen" ppl with such explanation tht "detail" simply bcause you (we) are an detailer 😊 ppl will come arround you whe you spread "light of enlighment" shall i say. Thanks from BALI
I'm going to polish my car in the next month, live in an apt. have no electriciy outside, so no electric polisher, thinking of buying a cordless orbital sander, my only doubt is what polish to buy since it will be my fisrt time, would love the DIY polish but it's not available in Europe, what is your advice? thank you, great video
If my rotary goes all over the place even at the beginning of the polish process, is it because I'm using the wrong pad/polish product or what can be the cause of that?
@@diydetailofficial then it must be the fact that it's a flat pad, i didn't hold it strong and worked at speed 1. Maybe even the fact that I don't damp my pad before using it
Awesome video as usual Phil - I always learn from you. Just curious, what do you think the most powerful iron remover is? I want to get one for my caked wheels and want to get the strongest one. Thank you! 🙏
Hi. Not sure exactly what would make one stronger than the other. But Hybrid Solutions Rapid Decon is pretty awesome stuff ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H_VLuvDDuVk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C02r_37YK98.html
