Videos of Proper Rotary Technigues

[David Fermani]

Check out the 2 videos on compound buffing(XP Syntheticut) & swirl removal (XP Swirl Remover). It shows some really good buffing techniques as well as rational for certain types of products. Some experienced and not experienced buffers could learn some valueable things.

You don't want to do that. Leave it wet and you avoid swirls. Dry = Swirls.

for quick jobs auto magic does a very good job. I used there bc1 and bc2 and awesome gloss.

is that how fast you guys work with a rotary? I am moving a lot slower when using mine....maybe that is why people are getting three full details in on one day while I am getting only one....????????

DavidB has a link to the Meguiar's rotary video which is awesome. It is like 30 minutes of video that takes you through washing, prepping, compounding, polishing, wet sanding, etc...



Click on the links on the right hand side. You need Real Player. It only works for me in IE and not FireFox. http://autopia.org/forum/detailing-...s-how-remove-paint-defects-video.html?garpg=2

y is everyone sayin to work the polish out till it disappears then? im confused. thanks for your help btw.

There is a fine line between "the polish going clear" (but still wet) vs. dry buffing. Besides, polishes behave differently. When a polish goes clear, it won't be totally transparent, just translucent. It does mean that it will be clearer than the milky state you begun with.



OPS is almost invisible at all times. There are materials that seem to "disappear" from the surface or "melt into" the surface.



Never mind, just be sure that a wet polishing film is always present between your pad and the surface. Dry buffing causes swirls - that's absolutely true.

Auto Magic is the main product in my arsenal that I use on all my details. I've learned to use their products to their fullest potential and love them. Plus there is a distributor about 5 miles from my house :heelclick

great videos

He seems to put the product on the car, while some recommend putting it on the foam and then tapping the area you want to work on in various spots.



Any idea which is best?

I thought for rotary's, that you put the product on the paint and not on the pad?

 

[ManiZ]

I thought one has to move the rotary in lazy shape 8s?

 

[David Fermani]

After time you'll be able to know how to turn you pad into your line of product so that it doesn't splatter. I personally don't like applying product directly to the pad or spreading the product around before buffing.

Thanks for the vids. Really helps to see the technique. Now to find the willing family member....

auto magic is crap and those videos are a complete joke. Watch the last one about carpet dressing. I laughed out loud when he said "optical brighteners". I've used their entire line and it's not good. Those videos are for marketing purposes not teaching proper technique.

Gee, who to trust - David Fermani, or a couple of goof balls with less than a dozen posts between them..........THAT WAS EASY, and I ain't talking Staples either.
