Don't apply the wax in circles. Circles don't allow your hand to apply even pressure on the applicator pad, and that leads to uneven disbursement of the wax. Look at how the top of your swirls are whiter from more wax deposits and the bottom half of the swirls are darker from less. Apply in a north/south or east/west motion to avoid this. It also saves you more work during the buffing process.
Power cord over the shoulder to prevent scratching or upgrade to cordless. Could be wrong but aren’t there applicators for the buffer? Attach application pad, apply wax, when done remove applicator attach buffer pad and buff. Yes/No?
You use the pad to remove any dust particles that might be on the car, you wash the car and drive it home were you are going to buff it so on that trip your car will have small traces of dust on it. And the second time you use the cloth is to remove lint from the buffing.
+A gm (snowman) i thought the same, hurts my heart to see this guy use so much wax on the first coat. thin coats not plaster it on or you will use all your wax or have uneven surface
Michael Zak is correct....put polish on the cloth buffer to apply to the paint, then buff off (I do this by hand with a micro-fiber cloth) I then buff the polish with a difference cloth ''If needed'' and then apply wax and buff off by hand....do this panel by panel. What I usually do then is hit it up very gently By HAND over the whole car with a fresh microfiber to ensure I didnt miss anything ;) Just a tip! If your really motivated you can put two coats of wax on your car. I use turtle wax btw
I used to use that type of buffer years ago. I'd use a terrycloth bonnet to apply swirl removers or cleaner waxes, and remove by hand. I kind of miss the simplicity of those machines.
Do I need to use a microfiber cloth to remove dust particles before waxing and polishing? I don't want to spend the cash, so would it be OK to use an old dish rag instead? Thanks for the tip on always using gloves, though, it makes all the difference I'm sure. BTW, don't pay attention to the haters bashing you for dragging the cord of your buffer on the paint; paint is harder than the plastic of the cord. It won't scratch. It's called science, duh!
+Lars Dahl u must be trolling :) If u can buy polish and wax, sure 5 €/$ for a microfibre wont hurt that much. But i guess you dont even know what polishing is meant to do, cant see how u can polish with no microfibre to wipe polish?
should ALWAYS keep that orbital polisher flat to the paints surface. I noticed several times you lited the unit up to polish on the front tip on the pad. This is very bad for paint , It creates a hotspot and can actualy damage the paint
When you using a woolpad on the paint its getting little scratches in de paint when used a rotary polisher like you have. But you need to step it up to a second polish with a DA to remove any scratches, swirls, hotburns, and give it a IPA wipe down before getting the wax going on.
Just had to ask why you had the cord rubbing the side of car and kept yanking on it shouldn't it have been over the shoulder out of the way. Why didn't you pop the hood to protect the edges when you were tilting the polisher when it was to be flat to avoid burning @ 2200 rpm,
That's only really necessary with high speed rotary buffers. The tool he's using is a random orbit polisher. The random orbital is designed to mimic hand movement. Although, when you get into something like a variable speed Porter-Cable 7424xp, yeah, I've burned through edges with that thing on speed 6. He'd have to sit on that edge for a week, with an aggressive pad, and compound to achieve strike through.
what happens to the dried wax on the machine!!. i heard that wool pads are for compounding not even polishing. waxing off with wool pad screams swirls to me
dried wax is removed with microfiber cloth and for the second part of your question swirls are obtain at higher rpm then the rpm that can be reached with a buffing machine like the one in the video. swirls are the result of bad technique plus rps and always make the difference between waxing and polishing
I am wondering if a lot of these guys showing how to buff a car are actually reading the product's instructions? Most of the buffing, rubbing compounds are recommended to be used in shaded areas, specifically, when doing dark colored cars. Suggestion, watch the youtube instructions HOWEVER, you need to read the instructions on the product that you are planning to use.
Hi can you answer my question bro? After the shine from the wax or polish dry's will there inevitably be swirl marks? I've always Wanted to buff my car but I'm afraid it causes swirl marks
Wax is not the same thing as polish! You get swirl marks from polishing your car and not holding the rotating head perpendicular to the paint and also using to high rpm on the polishing machine.
i can bet you that paint is swirled in the sun, wool pads are made as a cutting pad for compound not for any sort of finishing. No need to use a machine to remove wax if you use good wax it should come off easily.
This is a joke right??? I'm waiting for someone to jump out of the background and say, now this is exactly what you don't do and this is not the buffer you would ever use. I didn't even know they sold those cheap buffers anymore but may K-Mart does the last time I seen one they were $19.95 And they are not capable of removing ANY imperfections from the paint.
why put wax on then use a cutting wheel to buff it off, that pad is designed to cut the paint with polish, the wax is supposed to go on after to seal and protect the polishing stage, all this has done is mask the swirls & scratches with wax and then buffed with a machine instead of just using a cloth, strange technique, give it a couple of washes and it will look the same as before....
Ahmed Abdulla personal experience a dual action polisher is a better overall option as it can do both easier and safer but I use the same as he does. A foam heading is my personal favorite and it doesn't get as hot. But if you wax with the wool like he is just move the thing around with applying minimum to no pressure because it can burn the paint.
so much wrong. Apply with a machine not remove, cord touching paint, using wool bonnet (mars black paint) putting too much wax, Overdoing the whole process. I can do a whole car in under 20 minutes you took 8 for half the hood.
i bought a $20 orbital machine similar to this one and just use microfiber bonnets to remove the wax. I apply liquid wax with applicator by hand and then remove with the machine and microfiber bonnet. It's pretty easy (i guess i could apply wax with machine, but the liquid wax goes on easy by hand)
Can I just say what a reduction to seek out someone who really is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know how to convey a difficulty to mild and make it important. Extra people need to read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant believe youre not more common since you positively have the gift.
@@craigmail6994 nooo....always let the machine do the work! ...I know this an old ass comment but for future reference in case some one else has this same question! :)
I bought one of those cheap polishers before I knew better and bought a proper random orbital polisher. Useless piece of poorly-made junk that rattled itself to pieces
Holy shieet..!! 🤦♂️ this guy is gonna use the whole container of wax just for this car alone. Wasting money for little results and doing more damage to your vehicle. Im not a pro detailer but I suggest you to do more research.. that will help you avoid headaches and also harsh words from people on the comment section. Having wax and a buffer doesn't mean that ur doing it right.

Why not apply the wax with the polisher instead of by hand?
Muchos se obsesionan con aplicar mucha presión al equipo y no creo que se requiere con el propio peso de la máquina tiene
This video should be called watch me polish my car.
i just love how the wire touches the car, great video man!
What a weird comment
You can clearly see the difference in the shine. Nice job.
Thank you!
where do u find whool bonnets? for a 900 waxmaster? thanks, great job!
Awesome vid. Just looking to see what kinda job a auto buffer does and I can tell a pretty awesome quick job
Thanks 👍
Never run buffer with a dry pad no wax or polish. You will burn the paint, though the RPM's on your buffer looks slow.
put your cable over your shoulder then it wont be slapping about your bonnet and re scratching it
@@LITTLEBRAT775081 you forgot to ask the question

Is that a Wen polisher? If not what brand! Like your video.

Salut, am și eu mașina ceva asemănător ca a ta, merge dat și polish? În video observ ca ai dat cu ceara..
what kind of polish did you use first to get the shine? Wax is a protection not a polish. A
Should be noted to never wax in the sun and only on cool surfaces. Always wax in the shade on cooler days.

NEVER let the cord drag on the car. That;s a NO NO!!!
that's right! the cord could have dirt or grit on it and its like a file on your paint. I always put the cord over my shoulder.
i would apply wax with a machine, but be quicker to buff it off with a microfiber coth

Tells us to micro fibre the car for any dust
Then drags the lead all over the paint 🤣🤣🤣

+MAD_aircooled_66 Thank you!
+belyeu4190 it is very nice
One thing is still unclear: after how many uses do you put all that fancy equipment (starting with the pad) in the garbage?
I bought one of those in auto zone never again now I own a dewalt cordless polisher
Can any one tell me this polisher name
Hi can you answer my question bro? After the shine from the wax or polish dry's will there inevitably be swirl marks? I've always Wanted to buff my car but I'm afraid it causes swirl marks
Wax is not the same thing as polish! You get swirl marks from polishing your car and not holding the rotating head perpendicular to the paint and also using to high rpm on the polishing machine.
Why am I watching this I'm 12
Where did you get this wool pad from ?
Right off the bat you blew it by removing the dust with a rag (microfiber or not). Get a California Duster dude.
+Damon Hearne the paint from the car in the video is 7 years old if microfiber would produce scratches it would be visible by now.
that's what your wife said damon
+Damon Hearne Also right of the bat he scratched his fender with the electric cord of the polisher
+Johan Sving actually i didn't, sorry to disappoint you!
Damon Hearne California Dusters aren't immune from scratching either if the right dirt is on them.
NEVER let touch power cord the car paint! NEVER!!!
what polisher have you got looks the same as mine where do you get pads for it?
+Paige Harvey hello, its not a polisher, its a waxing machine with low rpm
+opelpedia I known it's a waxing vidoe :) you have a rotary polisher though :)
+Paige Harvey its a Stern CP240A+
what did you plug the polisher into? your in the middle ona the woods
there's a building behind him. look at the reflection of the hood

Michael Zak so how would u do it? do tell do tell
Cut and protect at the same time?
Hi bro,
can I use the same machine for both polishing and waxing?
Ahmed Abdulla yes you can. But I would recommend different pads
chris ward which pads do you recommend?
Foam pads or microfiber?
Ahmed Abdulla personal experience a dual action polisher is a better overall option as it can do both easier and safer but I use the same as he does. A foam heading is my personal favorite and it doesn't get as hot. But if you wax with the wool like he is just move the thing around with applying minimum to no pressure because it can burn the paint.
This tittle should be "how dont waxing your car"
What doyou think about Road Made products?especially their solid wax?
Thanks
sevastian botoghina It's a Carnauba based product, this means that you won't have any problems with it. The price is ok so i would use it
6:25 For fuck's sake watch out the cord!!!
The best wax
Merge sa-i faci un polish , la nivel de amator , cu acea masina ?
nu, in nici un caz
Is it better if you leave the wax on for a long while?
Is this a DA or a Rotary ?
What wax did you use pls????
get a decent buffer for god sake...any decent random orbital
rex dumont what you mean ?
Look up griots or rupes orbitals
This is how NOT to wax your car.
tmrthiago why ?
Because he's going over it so much he's pretty much burning off the cars factory clear coat
A micro fiber towel suits it just fine
Wesley Kleveter he won't burn the clear coat unless he stays in one area too long.
Okcboi ....hes buffing way to much ... with the wrong type of pad...hes burning his clear coat
Waaaaay too much wax used. Also cable hanging lose and scratching up the already polished/waxed paint on the side of the car.
I could not watch the whole clip I saw when the device wire whip the car...

Just wax on and off by hand with microfiber cloths, gets the job done well enough for 99%of peeps.
You took an age to get that polish off.
i bought a $20 orbital machine similar to this one and just use microfiber bonnets to remove the wax. I apply liquid wax with applicator by hand and then remove with the machine and microfiber bonnet. It's pretty easy (i guess i could apply wax with machine, but the liquid wax goes on easy by hand)
deasttn That’s exactly what I do too
you use for too much wax, and you do not need to do small circles with paste wax.

do you add pressure when you wax or just do it gently and soft
