    Heavy Oxidization Removal

    No talking or music, just relaxing detail action. I remove a years worth of neglect from my Mazda.

    Re: Heavy Oxidization Removal

    Good results! I like your garage set up. My only critique would be your lack of consistency on your polishing technique / motion. Seems quite erratic with no dedicated pattern to follow

    But it sure looks good!!

    Re: Heavy Oxidization Removal

    I only had time to watch a bit. I’ll finish later. Looks like you have definitely invested in this passion!

    If I may kindly make a suggestion: stop fighting with the 90 foot wand on your pressure washer. Get a shorty gun with a swivel and a 20 inch extension wand. Over at Obsessed garage, they have really nice kits that are tailored to your specific pressure washer. It will be such an “OH WOW” moment if you get a nice set up. The wand will be a quick connect so you can use it both shorty style and also as a wand for roofs and such.

    Good job, but you need to slow down your arm speed.

    Why?

    If it's a "good job", as you say, then why would the OP need to slow his arm speed or make any other process changes?

    It was a good job, but he could save some passes by slowing down his arm speed. To get the best correction, arm speed should be one/two inch per second. He's moving quite a bit faster than that.

    Like Luckdawg pointed out, arm speed was quite erratic.

    Was just trying to help the guy out.

    Holy hell if 1-2 inch per second is the case, then im flying. I would go that slow if i was using a free spinning tool. We dont know how much down pressure he is applying, as that plays into the equation as well. Yeah there could be a little more of a disaplined sequence to the section passes, but if the end result is the same weither its erratic or disaplined then guess it dont really matter

    His car cleaned up well and looked good.

    Heavy Oxidization Removal

    Thanks for the input and for watching. My PW is a cheap Karcher. I have seen the setups at obsessed garage and they are super nice. I’ve been detailing for a couple decades and except for my students I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone detail a car exactly the same. As long as you’re getting the results you’re looking for there isn’t really a wrong way. I love learning the different ways people will tackle the same job.

    And that is exactly the point I was making when I said this...
