| Re: Judge my polishing technique!
Yep I stick out my tongue...
A couple things (but obviously what you are doing works, because you turn out great work, so take it for what its worth).
Use the trigger lock, and use your thumb to adjust the speed. This way you never have to lift the polisher to adjust the speed (which kind of looks funny, IMO) and makes the process a little longer.
For working SIP, your work time seemed pretty spot on. About a minute or so. Your arm speed is perfect, and even buffing at tough angles (since the bottom of the C3's doors curve back in) you have great control over the polisher, your actual technique look's perfect.
For myself to get that control down that low, I usually have to stand up and "back hand" polish the door, almost holding the polisher upside down.
I would recommend switching to the 7.5 inch beveled edge pads. The "print" of the pad is similar to the 6 inch pad (because the edges curve up), so the control is the same, but the lack of a "hard" edge digging into the paint really reduces the chance for hologramming.
I'm jealous of the car, a C3 Stingray in Marlboro Red, with side pipes? Wow, that is the perfect Corvette and a serious classic!
Great job |
