Adam's Gen2 "How To" Video - pop some popcorn!

This is a quick video we recently filmed to show how to accomplish perfection with the 2nd Generation Pads and Polishes system.

This was not nearly the production that we filmed with the Ferrari, in a million dollar garage. Rather, this is a video we filmed on the side of our warehouse in late November when Adam drove to CA to deliver Christmas presents to the family.

Adam is working on his Excursion, which hadn't been detailed in nearly a year. The paint had tremendous swirls and cobweb scratches from neglect, unfortunately!

This video is does not show before and after results, rather, it simply explains the PC system very thoroughly. It's nearly 15 minutes long, sorry!

Here goes:

That is nice. Thanks for posting. I think I may not be putting enough pressure down on the PC....perhaps why I am not getting the desired cut/results...

Jason, do you have it up on YouTube? You can embed YT videos directly in a post.

Interesting... some people swear by not using pressure as it makes the PC bog down... Maybe that's part of the trick with the 7" pads?

I watched the videos and had the same observation - maybe the smaller the pad the less need for pressure on a PC.

I also thought we had been taught to remove the prior spent polish before applying more. I know in the Optimum system they do not call for IPA wipe downs, etc. You just need a wipedown to inspect the work.
