Which panel you start polish first?

[klnyc]

Okay guys,



Do you start out on the hood, the roof, the trunk? For me I start on the hood 1st. Anyone?

 

[sQuashed]

I start on the hood as well then work my way over to the top, then the trunk. After that its a free for all :buffing:

 

[Richt]

Hood, wings, door, rear quarter, door, quarter, roof.



Down to for inch pads for Door tops, tailgate, rear spoiler, rear valence, front valance, lower sides and sills.

I like to get the roof out of the way first.

 

[klnyc]

Yeah, I gotta try do the roof next time. Its similar to washing technique(top to bottom)

 

[hdi136]

I always do the roof first then the hood

 

[J.J.]

I always begin with the trunk. I usually don't have to bend over, which allows for a more comfortable approach when trying to figure out what process will "work" for the particular job at hand. I then proceed to the hood then roof etc.

I start on the hood and then work my way around the car from there.

 

[SK2003TypeS]

I start with the hood and the two front quarters, then move backwards.

rear quarterpanel then move around and up.

I'm in the hood camp too. Nice and flat and is usually the worst part of the car, my take is whatever works there will work everywhere else.

 

[imported_GDA4]

Hood, Roof, Trunk, rear bumper, drivers side, passenger side, front bumper

 

[imported_Sullybob]

I usually start on the hood. Sometimes I will start on the trunk if I am trying some new things.

I do a test spot where the marring looks severe to figure out what approach I'm gonna use. But I start the actual work on the roof. [Stuff] tends to float downward and I don't want to contaminate any panels after I've polished them, so it's top-down for me too.

 

[ScubaStevo]

Hood, front fenders are the best places to start, as they are usually the worst. I then move onto the rest of the car, like the tops of the doors/roof, trunk. Then the bottom of the car.

 

[NickcZ28]

Hood first, then work my way around the car, finishing with the roof.

 

[imported_Amused]

Roof down...just like washing.

It's the hardest panel for me since I'm not too tall.

Depends on how long my extension cord is really. I like to start on the hood. I've got a drop line in my garage which I throw over top of the garage door tracks to keep it up and out of the way. When I run out of cord I switch sides. I'll start on the hood and then work my way back whichever side my cord is on. When I have gone as far as the cord will comfortably reach....SWITCH.

The rear of the car it' my least fav. place so why not get it out of the way

Being a rotary user and usually prime with water to start, i start on the trunk top, if i get any splatter, it is at the start and then it is on the rear window instead of the windshield or wipers. Then rear quarter, roof, doors, hood and so on, moving to the left. I do the rear bumper area last as it has the most dirt or dust in cracks.
