Ive been watching John for years and years.... he stirred the beast within (and also Pan the organiser another youtuber)... always always my go to people for information and research... wouldnt consider any others ... top quality basic insight .... well done John

[YeCannyDaeThat]

The way I stop myself rushing and make sure every panel gets a great thorough job is by just doing 1 panel per day. Really well. In a weeks time the car is done and I know its perfect and I didn't rush it.

Great video Jon. The one thing you haven't done yet as far as I can tell is the next level up on polishing. I.e. 2 stage. I reckon loads of us following you would love to see the process and product recommendations for a 2 stage process. Still with a DA but the next level up. Great video as ever.

[sevenbelow]

This is the kind of video that really helps someone looking to learn the basics.

[karlhulme]

I watched your early video on machine polishing a few years back and gave it a go, it was the biggest leap forward in my career cleaning regime I have ever experienced. 👍

[andycorb]

Brilliant, down to earth video John. Thanks for actually running in real time the polish set rather than skipping to the end. You are a legend.

[Almost_Made_It]

I’m not a beginner and not a pro. This was very comprehensive and would definitely be a great starting point to anyone new to this hobby

Just did my partners car the other day. She got her dream car a wee range rover evoque and I told her I'd give it a good going over. Took me 10 hours for decon wash, cut and polish then super resin polished it. Looks great but been a good few years since I did any of that. Forgot how much work it can be but happy with the results.
Great Video, thanks for the info.

[pyebs]

Just started detailing about a month ago, only done family cars so far but have a few people at work asking for me to clean there cars🤙. All weekend I’ve been watching your videos and a few others but your content hits the spot and this video was perfect to watch while I ate breakfast haha. I have this kit saved in my basket for payday on Wednesday. And a huge thanks for not mentioning the price haha. Thanks again and keep it up.

[justingrainger]

Great video john, simple, straightforward, and to the point! My das 6 polisher must be 10 years old and still going strong!

[harrybrown]

I followed your older guide a few years ago to tackle my Mini in one day. Unbelievable results and I learnt so much just from the video. Look forward to doing my Subaru soon!

[gnawty]

I’ve literally just finished watching your original video on this topic which was recorded 2(?)years ago, and no me this pops into my feed! 😊love it!

[TheRoadManRantz]

just purchased this kit yesterday as a mate recommended this channel and this kit. I can't wait to use it. extremely well priced

[xxHydroponicxx]

Everything you’ve said is absolutely spot on! Research & prep is the key for us beginners!

[TruckerMatty]

I've been watching you for years and years, you're known for waffling on 😂. But this video was really informative and no waffling! I've shared it with my dad who wants to have a go and I have all the kit so hopefully he will follow your tips too.
Keep making awesome vids!

[simonhesbrook]

Great video, interesting and straight to the point I like the point you make about improvement not perfection which is achievable for weekend warriors on daily driven cars.

[neildonkin]

Just done mine but used cartec 5000 with lc blue pads then cartec 12000 with lc black pad put gyeon wax on had all wheels off and polished and put mint rims wax on them. This was a big job and took 3 days to complete

[sadsismint]

As always "We could have gone into more detail about X Y or Z", But this is a really good primer for people with some great tips!
Sometimes the hardest thing is to give LESS or enough information, rather than too much and making something way too long to watch/enjoy.

Great vid and, as a weekender, this was a good refresher!

[iandiplock]

Just purchased a dual action machine polisher and a one step polish and this video was a great help with institution on how to perform a polish for a beginner. Will be watching it a few times before I attempt my car. Luckily its not as bad as the car in the video.

[clewis]

Great tips Clean it twice is your best tip for me as it’s down to proper prep that I guess makes the most difference cheers!
