Pan, thanks for having Yvan on your channel for this topic. His methods work, and are simple. He’s an amazing teacher, and it’s obvious he loves what he does.

[notfound.....]

Another solid tutorial for some great video content.
I don't know how you do it Pan but you always bring the good stuff!! ✅️ 🇨🇦

I have a question… great video, your showing us how to “polish”, after done a section you take a damp towel to remove the polish and then a dry… what about the stage where you are waxing the vehicle, the final stage, does one use a damp towel as well to remove the residue and then a dry towel? Or is that simply a polishing step?

[badant]

Hey with the pad washer, do you wash the pad after every pass you do? So you will always have a clean damp pad for the entire correction? Thanks

I’ve always just blown out the pad with the compressor. But this seems so much more efficient and the pad will have a longer life overall

[amill]

Hope you get a chance to try out Black Magic wheel cleaner.

Can you use a angle with a buffer pad as a rotary polisher

[Tyler.]

I am painter in production collision center, always have used rotary but I see more and more the dual action polishers coming into auto body world I have tried 3m new random orbital system and it just took to long to get wet sand scratches out even after finishing 3000 grit.. I have not used a gear driven style polisher tho. Would you guys say that the gear driven polishers are the best of both worlds when it comes to combining cutting like rotary but finishing like random orbital?

[frankgirard]

Hi Pan
I have a question on paint hardness. I hear some detailers about mention paint hardness some soft and some hard. How do you determine what paint hardness on a vehicle. Thanks for you time.

[nickhardner]

Do u have to cut before u do a step one polish

[Rabbit.]

Ive worked at many different shops, under many different bosses, with many different detailers and i swear that everyone is gonna have a completely different way of doing things and theyre all gonna contradict what the next guy is gonna tell you. Today i feature products for the detail garage and im the lead detailer at VIP in So Cal. So anyways, i seen a video of DIY Detail giving a product review on Chemical Guys VSS diminishing abrasive combined with a MICROFIBER pad and all i could do was laugh as he was not impressed with the results 😂 I finally came to the conclusion that nobody is ever wrong, we will always fine tune our combinations and techniques while considering the methods of others

[diydetailofficial]

Thank you for featuring us on your channel PAN!

I love how simple Yvan makes everything, and I love how simple the diy gold standard system is.

[neilwalker]

The DIY products are my favorite line of products and their customer service and education are top class! When I first got back into detailing the process of understanding polishers and pads were overwhelming! You just have to start working different products to begin to understand what works together. I am the oddball who likes using the flex 3401 original version for cutting and the corded rotary for polishing. If I ever get a shop big enough for boats then I will buy a 21mm random orbital polisher! Thank you for the video Pan!

[mattlord]

I just bought a Dewalt rotory buffer. The good one. 12 amp. Did I screw up. It seems everyone on YouTube doing this has it.

[ThisOldDetailingDude]

All of you guys ( Yvan, Nick, Pan) rock! I learn so much from all you every video! Thank you 🙏. The 3 of you continue to improve the entire detail industry on a daily basis. You continue to take the entire industry to the next level! Thanks again for sharing ALL of your knowledge, expertise, and time! Can’t wait to try out the Red waffle pad! Thanks again!

[renuing]

Phenomenal video!! I watch every single one is diy details videos and learn something new everytime. Thank you Pan for having Yvan and Nick on. Thank you Yvan and Nick for sharing your experience and products, truly amazing. Please keep it up!!!

[tracy]

Miss Crabtree loves good grammar & vocab! Yvan & Nick, go straight to the head of the class 🍎. Quick Q: should the pad on the buffer be damp to start out? Ty.

[JeffG]

Thank you for the video guys, great job! If you have a surface scratch that has not broken the clear-coat and you can't seem to remove it with a compound using the blue Rupes pad, would you say you need a better compound (Griots Correcting Cream) or pad or both? I cannot feel the scratch with my fingernail.

[roberttipple]

Hi guys! Awesome video! I noticed you mentioned gel coat and was wondering if there are any changes in your process for dealing with that versus the clear coat? Also, does your moist pad approach work with other polishes or only with your product? I work at an RV dealership and they have their own equipment/products that I am trying (slowly) to get them to reconsider. An uphill battle, but one worth fighting.
