Great job everyone. One favor though. Although the slow motion and fast motion may look cool, it doesn't help us at home. We are watching to see the speed that you are actually moving the machine around. We can't tell that if you keep showing slow motion/fast motion. Better to just keep it on real time speed. Thank you!
They have mentioned on another video 1 inch per second. Some that helps.
Hey dude Ive been polishing cars for 20 years and when you do it in slow motion with this Da machine its to make the pad rotate only for renovating the paint with the right pad.And when you move it faster and more slightly its for polishing.
They balanced it to show the speed.
You high bro? It clearly shows the speed and explains 🤣
He said 1" a second
The number one best tutorial I’ve seen for polishing and compounding a car, simple and straight to the point.
Today was my first time detailing my car. I watched your video twice, then I jumped right at it. I'm very impressed with the results and the ease of it. Thanks for the easy breakdown gentlemen.
If you do the same thing the next time you will see even better results. I remember after my 50th detail how much better I was at doin it.
This is the best video on TH-cam about detailing a car using compound,polish and wax the correct way
This is very useful. As a fan of old motors and fed up with detailers who adore shiny new motors I think I will buck my previous ambivalence to car cleaning and try this on the old E39 I just bought.
Used this as a guide for my first ever machine polish today and the results were outstanding, thanks!
Excellent video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Schallingora Dexterous Programme Scheme (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off product for building any shed in no time with no experience without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my GF after many years got astronomical success with it.
Best video description on how to use products without any bull. Thanks Guys
Even though I've polished some cars, have used these products, I still watched the video. And....I enjoyed it. You guys did a pretty good job with it.
Mequiars 110 followed by 210 is golden. I had water spots all over and fallout/contamination. Clayed the whole car, hit it with 110 and then 210 and my paint looks brand new.
so then which is better: Mirror glaze 110 compound and 210 polish - or - the Ultimate compound & Ultimate Polish?
@@kevinyork4757 idk but 110 and 210 gets the job done well.
I was a pretty good at high speed buffing back in the late 80's and back then there was no DIY type systems. Never burned an edge, even on exotics. The way it is now makes it so easy. And I was using Meguiars back then as well! Good info here as I have restarted my biz as a side income
Its called rotary buffing :)
With these dual action polishers is it dummy proof?
BEST DA TUTORIAL ON TH-cam! WHY CAN'T MY USA SOUL BROTHERS PUT OUT A VIDEO THIS GOOD? CHEERS, AND THANKS.
Thanks so much mate, I’ve recently new to polishing, and your video has helped me so much, I’ve seen countless videos and none have explained it as good as you guys
Polishing is easy... but it’s also easy to fuck it all up....and it happens quickly if you are using the wrong compounds or techniques... I own a Ford Raptor... I practiced on my other vehicles first and was glad I did... I’ve got an old white 2012 e250. Did it first on that .. but white isn’t a great color for polishing I have a 2002 dodge Dakota sport. Red... that was great for practice... then I went at the raptor... tuxedo black... awesome
Hi guys love your series of video.
One request would be to indicate whenever the video is speed up when you are working on the car so it can give the viewer a better understanding on how fast they should move their pad.
Very true. The speeding up part of the video hides the true pace of each step; a very key detail.
This is the first time I have seen you guys and I really have to say very well explained and Demonstrated, Thank you guys keep up the good work👍👍👍
rarely do i watch anything on TH-cam all the way thru if its longer than 2 min... i only skipped ahead 1 time so thats my version of an Emmy award (as if any cared about award shows) so give this guy a raise Meguiars as he has definitely increased your sales!
Good job, but you should show prepping the paintwork correctly removing any contaminates, and cleaning the pads between sections for people like me who are new to the process.
They literally said they started by using the clay bar.
definitely one of the best beginner videos out there , thanks guys
Really helpful video, thank you. These two presenting are really good together covering all the questions I had.
I watched every episode of this series like it was Game of Thrones hahaha amazing stuff guys! Thank you so much for the helpful tips.
Please don’t tell me they get naked on every episode😂😂😂😂that makes me not want to se it..
The best tutorial. Quick, concise, and included the wax portion.
Seems quite simple. I just got my products and I’m gonna try it. I’m hope it goes as smooth as that.🤞🏽 😂
I did this on my 1999 red Saab vert and it came out great! I used their Gold canuba wax and finished upkeep with the detail spray in the maroon colored bottle. Nice
This is the BEST video I have seen on how to start your polishing journey
Probably the most concise video on how to DA polish for beginners on youtube...good job
THIS is the only video you need. Wish I found this first. Nice one!
You Guys Did An Awesome Job Explaining In Detail
THANK YOU. 👍👍
Excellent video showcasing the Meguire's products and how they should be applied. One point I would make is, color code your towels by application. It helps the simple person (me!) keep from making mistakes. Thank you for posting.
I do that. Makes it so much easier. I got towels to match the pad. Orange pad gets orange towels, blue pad blue towels etc. my gray towels are strictly for drying.
Great video. DITCH THE DAMN BOOM BOX!
Been Using my Meguires MT300 and makes not only application of Meguires Polishes and waxes. Faster but also gives show room car results. Love My MT300
👍
hola chicos, desde Guatemala los saludo, la verdad excelence video, lo explica tal cual es el proceso de 3 pasos para darle nueva vida a nuestros vehículos, además, nos enseña que productos al alcence de cualquera, dan resultados brillantes, Gracias Meguiars por estos videos de entrenamiento... mis carros estan como nuevos!!!
Really enjoyed this video. I have been researching how to use a DA polisher, and I loved the step-by-step detailed explanations here. Well done!
All these videos I've seen show working one section so I'm curious. I'd suppose you're applying more product as you work a new section. When do you get to cleaning or swapping pads?
Hi,my car is like the left hand side of the bonnet,a cobwebbed effect,white paint work, seeing this video has made me easy it is using the MT320,plus the polishes,I will have to try it,thanks for the video 👍.
Well explained. The slowest speed is actually one that gets the job done fast. I'm thinking that's more for the professional who is trying to make a living. The home guy would rather take his time - even though this dual action is supposed to prevent burning through, it still will burn through if you dwell too long in one area, because those machines go relatively fast.
best video to date for me .I am a green horn but started right away with your product and am very pleased. Thanks for the video now making a very time consuming project it even easier and faster.
I liked all the paintings. No buffering needed.
Hey guys! love your MT320 just bought one recently and love your products! Could you please do a video on how to clean the foam pads and microfiber towels, and how to maintain them? Keeping in mind also people who dont have air compressors to blow out the compounds/polishes from the pad :) cheers!
No worries! Simply hover out any product from the pad whilst the machine is on the slowest speed. And the great thing is the pads and towels are machine washable! Just make sure you don't add any softeners.
@@meguiarsuk I have a project on introducing your products to my country which doesn't have any, it's a big business as we don't have car detailers so a big franchise to sell meguiars products will be more than welcome, let me know how to reach you privately for more details
@@meguiarsuk From this video not understandable when i can apply ceramic coating? can you please clarified. Big thx
Thank you for all this info very helpful and I will be ordering all those products on my. New journey or detailing
So we just gonna ignore that stutter moment?! 💀💀 made my day 🤙🏽🤙🏽🧡
Come on, that's not funny man. r-r-r-remove the comment
Vlekjuh ahahaha 😭💀
Feel lot more confident doing my first attempt of full car polish will be using this as a guide keep up the good work and help thanks guys
Tried this recently with all the Meguiar's products and DA polisher listed in the video. The results were amazing. It's as easy as it looks and it transformed a rather tired 2002 Toyota Camry to looking almost new. Was able to sell the car in a couple of days on Craigslist. Thank you guys for a very well-done video on car care!
Best video I have watched so far on this topic 👏🏻👍🏻♥️
Until I watched this I was going to settle for an 80 quid polisher. After watching this, I'm definitely going for the MT320. Looks amazing, and I'd rather have piece of mind that it won't die and kill my car at the same time. Brilliant video!
You got sucked in
So much more comfortable now after watching this video. Just 1 question, I was gonna do a little paint touch up on my car's bonnet and my plan was to fill in the chips with the paint but I want the surface to be really with the rest of the paint but I don't want to wet sand as the car has a metallic finish and The thought of sanding paint terrifies me. Could I use a DA Polisher and the buffing compound to smooth out the filled-in chip?
You might end up burning through the clear coat surrounding the chip.
@@Occhublu very good point made thanks
The ending was hilarious 😆 ok. Bye. 😂😂 Thank you for teaching us how to do this process properly. Appreciated.
Good video. Recently got a DA polisher and never used one before. Fingers crossed
Well done Guys. Great explanation and awesome presentation. I am definitely more confident now to machine polish my car. Pravin Jugwanth, South Africa.
Wow. Now i know how the right things to do with Meguiars. Thanks.
Great video I just bought a polisher and it looks easy 👍
Excellent job lads! This helped me confirm my decision on purchasing the Meguires polisher
How about a video on alloy wheel cleaning?
There are several factors in doing a pro job. One place I discovered which successfully combines these is the Magic Painter Method (google it if you're interested) definately the most helpful course that I have ever seen. Check out this amazing resource.
2fďßbbghjhh
The way of putting the ultimate compound to the cutting pad, reminds me of street food 🍲 :D
Brilliant video guys. All the things I needed to know. Perfect!
Absolutely looking amazing really helpful
Excellent vidéos guys that I watched a dozen times without getting enough of it. One question please: Did you use only one pad for each step? 3 in total ? Or changed them after 2-3 panels ? Thanks again for the great job!
Brilliant video... Been using your products for about 4 years now, got my 15 year old dailied Clio to show standard. Love it.... Can't wait to try the DA out
BRILLIANT VIDEO! THANKS GUYS
I have these three products and now own a DA polisher and am looking forward to seeing the results after. Thanks for the how-to video!
Have you done any work yet? Good results?
Excellent video! You made it seem very simple!
explained extremely well !!! thx for sharing
Very helpful guys, thanks so much!
I've used the compound a few times now and it takes out no swirls and does mark plastics if you don't get it wiped off immediately. It's good as a final polish but not as a true compound.
Great video, love how you explained how to use the products. 😁😸
Excellent demonstration and explanation.
Excellent video! Explained the steps really well. Thank you!
Also i use the Gold Class wax because the Ultimate dries to clear. I can’t see it also i just Bought this DA polisher can’t wait to use it.
Hello just wanted to say that your products are absolutely amazing... Now can you guys tell me how to restore car exterior trims..
Great vid thank you. My question is the bonnet nice and flat but what happens using the polisher on the sharper curves and bends when its not so easy to keep the polisher on a flat and even surface?
Use the palm of the pad as much as you can and don't let the back plate hit the car surface. Also be aware that you can sling product if any part of the pad is raised.
A smaller backing plate and pad will help. Always make sure the pad is slightly bigger than the backing plate
Brilliant…:) simple streamlined and Efficient. 🥂🥂😀
@16:15 - "The oils that are in the polish are feeding into the paint..." That hard clear coat on the BMW might have something to say about any oils "feeding" into the paint.
Just brought one can’t wait to use it and see the results!
Very good video Guys. Compliments from the Netherlands. Do you also have tip's and trick's machine polish round/small area's? Video would be great! Greetz!
How many pads will you need to do the average car..?? And also you don't mention about washing your pads out every few panels or so..??
i live in the Rio grande valley tx i have to compound the my truck at list 3 times a year because in summer Texas turns into a furnace
Amazing & very informative video, Bravoooo! Love it! On your future videos, if I may request, can you list all the items/products you used in the video for us viewers to know where we can purchase them. Cheers!
Very informative, thanks guys.
Amazing video thanks guys
Absolutely brilliant 👏, feel a lot confident now :)
Loved this video. This is one of the few videos that doesn’t over complicate it. I appreciate you letting the noobies mistake in the video.
We’re all human.
Just by noticing all the details you give shows how professional you are! I'm currently searching for ways to polish epoxy resin on a table project and I'm getting some ideas. The main idea as I understand is to apply a thick compound for sanding marks, and then a thinner to give it a gloss.
Very easy steps to follow for the junior detailer to Work with..thank-you
My question is this....when would I be able to put either a silicone finishing coat or ceramic seal on the finish surface...
Just what I needed to know. Thanks!
*Dual* not *Duel* could do with a title edit guys.
Edit: I see that you've now edited it, dont worry no thanks necessary. 😉🤣
Love the videos, however in the description section it says Patrick has been with you 5 months and I think he has been with you a little longer than that, just spotted it but thank you for the videos, very well put together and has got me into detailing
=D Indeed.. good spot! we will be adjusting this for future videos!
Great video.
Could you polish over some vinyl bonnet strips?
Also, would you do this process on a 50 year old VW?
Thanks
Excellent video. How much of the compound (in bottle) do you end-up using per full polish? One full bottle, 1/2 a bottle or more?
Are there specific soaps/shampoos to use before the decontamination?
This is a super video and I liked it so much! Does the product that's applied at the end have paint protection? If so, how long is the protection?
So, the way I understood the overall application of the products is that you do the first application once a year. In the case of this car, the three products are used one after the other. Thereafter, you will only use the last two products twice per year and then after only the last product is used, correct?
Great work great product, would it be possible if you could do a video using the same product on a white car, cos I think it difficult to see swirlmarks on a white car. Thanks guys great work.
Super useful video! Thank you. Few questions - can you wash the pads after and use them again, or are they single-use? Also, how many times can you do this before damaging/thinning the clear coat? I did a small trial polish to remove a few light scratches, it worked great. I wanted to do it again, but for the entire car this time. Should I space the procedures out some?
You can absolutely wash the pads for re-use. Just let them air dry.
Amazing video. Cheers.
Great video thanks learnt a lot
Awesome vid lads!
Thanks guys
Thanks thanks thanks…. the best video!!!!!
I love how he turned into scooby-doo at 15:43
Really helpful video. Gonna get MT 320 soon. Thanks
So how do I get a day in the bay then. Seriously impressed...
great video!, so for people who can't do it indoors like me, i don't have a big enough garden or have a garage. i only can do it out front of house or back. So i take it will be ok outside? depending on weather, but take it not to be hot outside or in sun
?
Great video guys. Have you a link for the polisher, pads and products? Thanks.
Looks sick lads
