Is there a video that will explain the polisher to use for the first time? Like that speeds and why, and what pads and why?
There are lots of good videos online and, in fact, I learned how to use my rotary buffer by watching a youtube video.
But keep in mind that not all videos are very helpful.
Some videos are created for advertisement purposes and most show cars that are in a very good condition to begin with and take almost no effort to treat.
The good news is that you may not even need a video tutorial for DA application, because unlike rotary it is unlikely that you will cause any harm to your paint by DA. So, you can just take the passes over the paint and see how it works as you go. Having good pads, backing plate and prime your foam pads are probably the most important elements of DA (with rotary your personal skills are what will make a difference between failure and success). Just don't expect it to be a 'breeze'. It's a hard and exhausting work if you want to get good results. I would say almost anything in detailing comes at a cost. You may even be frustrated, not seeing results you expect. But it can be fun and great deal of pleasure if you handle it the right way and everything comes together as you work.
What are you planning to do with DA? What is your paint/clear coat condition?
I just ordered the GG 6 along with a few extra Lake County flat pads. Should be here next week from AG. I have one car that is new, but like many new cars has a few swirls and fine scratches that can only be seen in the right light. The other is a 2005 Santa Fe with average or better paint. I have always maintained it by hand, but it is getting harder to get great results as the car gets older. I have always wanted a DA and just finely got one. What I want is for my cars to look better than 95% of the other cars on the road with them.
