Audrey & Juan learning to use a Rotary Buffer on a 1966 Corvette


At this last weekend's class we had a a married couple attend, Juan and Audrey and both were new to machine polishing. Over the course of the 2-day class they both received lots of hands-on training and hands-on practice using a variety of tools.

Here's Audrey and Juan learning to use a Flex PE14 Rotary Buffer with a wool pad and Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut Compound to remove the swirls and scratches out of a 1966 Corvette Sting Ray...


First thing a person needs to learn is how to clean their wool pad using a pad cleaning spur



Perfect!



Next is learning to pick up an bead of product using the 10 @ 10 Technique...



Then with a little hands-on guidance, how much pressure to apply, how slow to move the polisher over the paint and how much downward pressure to use...





Removing swirls and scratches next to the driver side mirror...







She's doing great!


Nice job Audrey!
