How to polish paint (for beginners!): choosing your pad for the shiniest paint
92,299
Published 2024-03-17
So which one do you choose, and why?
The process of pad choice actually begins BEFORE that; proper paint polishing is all about the prep. We need a clean surface to really determine what's happening on paint.
That's why we spend so much time in this video demonstrating a proper wash and decontamination.

Refreshing information guys. ie. Damping pads,washing pads instead of buying more,NO pressure polishing. Wiping down with damp towel b4 dry one to finish And much more. The simple things make the most difference. Brilliant

I was sent to this video by your customer service. Very informative and helpful. Iโm going to wet sand my brand new paint job and use the wool pad then red pad with the gold standard polish. I feel more comfortable with finishing my car. My paint job was flow coated & has minimal orange peel. Thank you for your help and incredible customer service.

AWESOME video! Very educational. Especially for us mobile detail entrepreneurs who are always hungry to learn the correct and efficient ways to detail cars! Always enjoy all the YouTube videos you both put out. Watching doesn't make everyone a professional. Gotta put in the work to gain proficiency and skills lol Thank you Yvan, Nick!!!

Again - you make it look like anyone can do this. You tell everyone that they can do this. You show everyone how to do it. You donโt just sell product - you teach and educate about the product and the process. One of a kind channel - my one stop shop for all my auto detailing education and product!

Not even joking, this is the first time Iโve seen a video (with more than 20 comments) where the channel responded to every single comment in the comment section ๐ thatโs dedication.

@diydetail I tried the 5x5x5 process to get rid of some deeper scratches. It worked great.

That Grants Detail Seat is awesome and a great deal from Harbor Freight...it has saved my feet and back while doing tires and lower quarter panels!
-
Let's not overlook the fact, and it bears repeating, this was all done with 1 polish! 99% of the time Gold Standard Polish is all you need!

A test hood never disappoints ๐ Wating for the next one!

I have so many products I have enough to last a life time. It's getting ridiculous.......I promised I'd not buy any more. And thought I'd seen all the tubers there was to see. However there is something very unique here with Ivan combined with great delivery feels honest and in touch with audience something that's made me change my mind about buying more products. So after asking for a link for UK distributors ( from which I got such a fast reply- personal touch) I've ordered products and looking forward to delivery.
