Best video ever on how to machine buff a car from start to finish


I've made a lot of videos in my life. Last summer Yancy and I made a brand new video series for our ROKU channel. After they were edited and placed on our ROKU channel I never got around to actually watching them. Last week I watched this video on exterior car detailing for the first time. In my my opinion, it's our best video ever on the topic of machine polishing and EVERYTHING related to machine polishing is included in the video.


Do me a favor please

Grab your favorite beverage, hot coffee, cold soda and expand the video to fill the entire screen and give it a watch and the if you would be so kind, reply to this thread with what you think about the content and presentation of the subject matter.





I also think this demonstrates Yancy's incredible skill as our "Creative Director". Nice work Yancy.


Thank you and enjoy.

At work can't watch the whole thing now Mike but can't wait to see it when I get home.

Mike, I think it's an excellent video. It shows anyone the exact process/steps to achieve results on their own vehicle(s). It also shows that the PC is a perfectly capable machine!

Thanks for posting...I will be sharing this with some friends as well as some customers to show what goes into a 'detail'.


Regards,
Scott

Watched it yesterday, thought it was pretty cool. Liked "...the initial test spot not good enough, lets do another" concept illustrated. Looked wonderful cast to a 60" flat screen. At first I thought 'What they gonna polish and that perfectly shiny Chevelle?" but the closeups with the light really showed the defects.

Thank you and thank you to everyone that "liked" it on our YouTube Channel.

the initial test spot not good enough, lets do another" concept illustrated.

I've been teaching the practice of doing a Test Spot in the forum world since March of 2004. I wrote about it back in 1993 or 1994 on Usenet Newsgroups in rec.autos.misc and of course I practiced it myself every time I detailed a car. I also implemented it at the very first Detailing 101 Class at Meguiar's in Irvine when I started up their Saturday Detailing 101 classes in July of 2002.


Here's what I know... it's easy to talk about doing a Test Spot. It's also easy to tell people to do a Test Spot.

Explaining it, showing it and at the same time capturing it in a way that the average person can see and understand the concept and practice is a completely different thing. Outside of some other older videos we've put out I've never seen anyone else explain and demonstrate how to do a Test Spot. This is just one of the reasons I like this video and think it will help anyone new to machine polishing or wondering exactly how and why to do a Test Spot.

Looked wonderful cast to a 60" flat screen. At first I thought 'What they gonna polish and that perfectly shiny Chevelle?" but the closeups with the light really showed the defects.

The condition of the paint shown in the video was the true condition. So was the gunk that came off onto the clay.


For what it's worth... I make it a practice to always get great pictures of the condition of the car when it arrives to Autogeek. I know it can look like a car is in great condition without proper lighting and too many people are so cynical now days that it's just a good practice to document everything.


Thank you for your feedback.

I liked the video. It is high quality and did a great job of showing the steps involved in polishing a car from start to finish. I think this is a good video for beginners to learn the process of polishing.

Mike, Do you normally wear Nitrile gloves when detailing? I would think you hands would be a mess from using all those different products. Mine dry out and crack.

The orange pad rotated MUCH better than the white pad.

Nice video!
