View Full Version : Quick video on my style
Here`s a video I did while working on this Holden Crewcab
I made a couple mistakes during it (didn`t keep pad 100% flat on surface and moved a little too fast on occasion) but it will let everyone see my technique

Also, be careful with rubbers, I prefer masking them.
Thanks for sharing the video :xyxthumbs

Thanks - now I want to get some 4" pads for my makita! Looked like you didn`t need that handle either, ever think of taking it off?

Looks good to me!
The guy that left a comment is kind of a jerk, though.

Not to get off topic but i thought it wasnt recommanded to go over 1000rpm with the 4" pads? well according to autogeek anyways.

Good video!

Actually, with 4" pads on a rotary it`s opposite of a R/O and the cutting is less then (or heat generated) it is with larger pads...so to get the same cutting with a 4" pads you`ll need to run it at a higher rpm than you would with a 6 or 8" pad to get the same effect.
Also, be careful with rubbers, I prefer masking them.

Your absolutely right, however with those on the outside edge of the window, they are polishable so I didn`t bother.
Some can be polished with abrasives while most need my trim dream polish or a dressing due to texture
Well autogeek are not detailers and you find out what you can and cant do by trial and error
Same with sonus, it states not to go over 1000 with a rotary but I go to 1250 with no dramas
Actually sonus polishes need a longer working time and a little more grunt in the cutting area

Yes, I consider you the trim master :goodjob
Thanks so much my spanish autopian.
The trim dream is actually selling well at the moment, just got back from posting two more orders out.
