Well i was suppose to detail a supra today but my client canceled. It did give me time to try out some new products and make a little video...

In the video i used megs soft buff finishing pad and M80.

This combo rocks! I love M80. No dusting and left an awesome shine on my white xB. Makita was the rotary used. Let me know what ya think...and yes im half naked you would be to if it was almost 100 Deg in your garage lol

YouTube - Rotary video Scott's Mobile Detailing

finished

I'm Glad you took the time to make this video...Sometimes I think that I work the polish to much and I don't work it enough...It's amazing to me that the polish is worked that long when there is so little polish applied... This is one thing that I'm having a hard time with...There fore I us too much polish all the time...Even though I think that it is not that much...I really have the drive and the confidence to do detail work...This just has been a terrible corner for me to turn...Thank you For your effort...This has helped... That being said, If you or anyone else has anything to say that can help... Thank you!!!Scott what was the reason that you were working with the gararge down...I don't understand that part...you could have been naked with the door up!!!

I wish I was a little bit taller...love that song...
Great job, Scott. I think it's about time for me to learn rotary too...Tired of PC buffing out my fingers instead of paint...

Two drops is too little IMHO. You are dry buffing.

It has nothing to do with size of area. Check out amount of M80 Meguiar's reps use in their rotary videos and check out applying technique.

Yes, pad has been pre-primed, but probably with water or qd, so not much lubrication.
