1:25 "you can see how dark it is" omg mate... that is the cleanest bar I ever seen, you should see mine after just a quarter of a panel done.

Compound and polish are really determined by what paint you have (hard or soft). For hard paints, CarPro clearcut is your best choice for a one step. For softer paints, the Griots line is your best route. Also, when doing a correction, 3-4 dime size drops is all you need. But make sure you wear a light on your head to see when the swirls are gone. You can look through the compound as its breaking down. Going up and down makes nice designs but you want to keep going until the swirls are gone. If you want a line of products that will handle any paint you come across, CarPro ClearCut, Essence, Fixer and Reflect. Cant go wrong!

I try to keep up with protection on my vehicles.
A) I wash,
B)I clay- with
Mothers SpeedClay 2.0
C)I polish- but I dont use a full polish product. I use a Ryobi 6 inch 18V orbital buffer which I own a cordless model & a corded one.
My Polish of choice is Mothers Micro-Polishing Glaze (Step 2).
Then, D) my favorite final product is Meguiars Hi-Tech Yellow Wax (#26).
If you Clay with anything.
Use Mothers Step 2.
Use Meguiars #26.
You will have a super smooth, shiny vehicle.
Try it!

A great "2-step" compound/polish is Menzerna IP 2000. I used it on my black 300C; and it really cut down the amount of time that I used to take in working out swirls. I applied it with a Griots Garage DA random orbital polisher and Lake Country pads. Afterward, the Menzerna, you can either apply a fine polish, before going to the wax finish, or go straight to the wax finish. It depends on what results you're looking for.

U know what bro thank you so much for this as this was by far the easiest user friendly video across entire YouTube even my 5 year can watch and learn from it that’s how simply yet effectively and informative it was... keep up the good work fella cheers all the way from London

[alleycat]

Im 14 and i love detailing and working on cars in general and you have inspired and taught me so much about detailing and i just wanted to say thank you for being such a big influence on my love for cars!

[jomeugene]

I watched all the ads just for you. This is so informative.

Wipe down after polishing with a IPA product (isopropyl alcohol) to remove polishing oils and residues. I like to use Carpro eraser. That will leave it with a squeeky clean surface ready to accept your favorite ceramic coating/sealant/wax

Polishes:
Retail: Meg's ultimate compound is closer to a professional polish. Breaks down nicely and doesn't really need a follow-up with polish. Will remove some scratches nicely and leave a great finish. Ultimate polish is good too if you just want to enhance the look.
"Professional":
3d one is both a compound and polish. With heavier cut pad will cut alot and act like a compound. With a Polish or finish pad it will act like a polish. Finishes great.
Griot's garage correcting cream. Not as aggressive as the fast correcting cream and with a orange pad will leave a beautiful finish. Their entire line is awesome.
Meguiars m210 is a great polish and less dusting and longer work times than the 205. Good price for amount you get too.
Meguiars d300 is great too. Intended for microfiber pads but will work with foam and not too aggressive when used with foam pad.
Jescar has some good stuff too. I love their correcting compound but it's aggressive so not really what you're asking for.
To be honest though, for beginners I always recommend meguiars ultimate compound and polish. They are "safer" dumbed down versions of their professional line. The compound would have knocked out what you were working on on this car in one section pass of 5 passes. More pressure for first two passes, then less and less over next three. The abrasives break down after first two passes, then the next three passes polish more and more as you let up pressure each pass until the third (5th total) pass is just weight of polisher
Use either their "cutting" yellow pad or an orange medium cut pad (or whatever color for your brand) or even a polishing pad and shouldn't need anything more.

I have to say… This video was super useful! I’m glad to have seen someone properly explaining how to use an orbital. I actually own the same one for my business so this is great!!

Detail spray is only adding a layer of protection to the swirls your trying to remove. Can’t stress enough how much panel prep is needed in this process. Specially after clay bar process and in between polishing/compound passes using non filler agents. If the compound/polish has fillers in it you don’t want to use panel prep because it will remove what your trying to fill in. Just some info for the garage guys🤙

Sonax is my favorite line of polishes. The cutmax is amazing for heavy defects. The Sonax 04-06 is like perfect finish but 04-06 is made specifically for DA polishers and perfect finish is made for rotary but they both work great on either machine. For really hard paint the best is the Rupes UHS polish and pad combo hands down. You want to be careful using a tape line for a 50/50 because it can create a hard line in the paint that can be difficult to remove. Some polishes will be less effective when used with a detail spray because they were formulated to work without any other chemicals. Some clay bars will break down faster if a soap is used as a lubricant. Detail spray does not get the paint perfectly clean because they contain polymers such as gloss enhancers and lubricants. IPA solution or a paint prep spray is best. I have a youtube channel where I talk about some of this stuff, hopefully it will help you get better results but it looks like you got pretty good results anyway! Cheers!

Polishing uses abrasive products to remove imperfections from your paint. Waxing adds the shine to the exterior of your vehicle, as well as, a layer of protection from the elements. Ultimately, polishing prepares the car to be waxed.

I've only been polishing for a couple years. thought it would be difficult but it's very stress relieving 😌 it's like you create a new car in a few hours. I want v to transition into doing just polishing ..
great job man.! looks awesome 👍

[streetboyz]

Is polishing the only thing you should do to newer cars that have scratches/swirles/love marks?
And older cars that have worse condition paint, compounding then polishing is what you do, right?

[kovaMOO]

So how many months will it take to polish the whole car?

[danlc]

One step polishing..

Meguiar's Ultimate Polish on green Buff and Shine pads works great. Nice cut, great finish, super easy wipe off. I start with three pea sized drops, and reload with one or two.

The other one step I really like is found in the Rupes system:
Keramik Gloss + Yellow microfiber
Quarz Gloss + Yellow foam
Quarz Gloss + Green Foam
UHS + Grey foam
