Finally a video covering the things I wanted to see. Real time polishing, cleaning pads inbetween and realistic expected results from a one stage. Thanks man
I literally came to utube this evening to find out how long machine compounding would take... clearly a good number of hours to get the whole car done. Every video makes it seem like a 90 min - 2 hour job (which I'm guilty of), and I'm left wondering why I don't see much of a difference 😂
Despite having 4 years of weekend warrior detailing experience, this video still served as a great refresher! I like the narrative style of the video 👍
Thank you!!! I have recently watched a lot of videos on polishing. This is by far the easier to follow and the first one I’ve found that has taken away the fear! Great stuff mate
I like this video, It’s a lot more simple to follow than other guides that tell you you’re gonna need every product under the sun before you even get started.
I agree with your comments on attempting to do this over body lines and creases. This is the portion of paint correction/polishing that gives me the most fear.
Hi John, having watched a lot of your videos I took the plunge and got a DAS 6 Pro, Koch Chemi H8.02 and their finishing polish with carnuba wax. Took 9 hours today and all I can say is a big thank you for all of your fantastic advice. There were some deep scratches on my 2010 black Golf so had to use P2500 wet and dry on those. The end result is amazing, paintwork is like glass...again many thanks! Neil
I knew better but Ive been using brushes from my work to wash my car for around a year. Looking at my car I realized how messed up and scratched it's become, and have decided to do a paint correction myself. Thank you for this video!
Great video again, thanks! I made the mistake of going for a DA Polisher that cant take a 3" backing plate, so figured I would have to get another, but then seen videros of pros polishing the intricate areas (behind door handles etc) by hand, using a microfibre cloth or cut down had polishing pad. Arm people with the right information and they can do anything. And thats what you do with your videos!
I bought some gear but had no clue about what to do, this video is really easy to grasp and as I am a complete beginner I now feel much more confident. Many thanks 👍
Jon my eyes are square Iv hammered through most of your videos stock listing all the best products for my M140i n today I saw your face in mark cups sneak peak video 🤣 can’t wait for the full video keep up the hard work
yes mate I think mark is droping the video on Sunday. It was such cool fun to go full tilt round a race track like that. really loved it ill post the video up in the community tab when mark publishes it.
Used a das 6 pro for the first time the other day. Thanks to this channel I got good results. I think being gentle is a terrible idea, throw on too much compound and see what happens... Just play around, try loads of pads and see for yourself what will work and what won't... Try everything. After a few hours your working one handed and realising what can come out and what would need painting. You can literally buff out your mistakes so enjoy it.
Practice, Practice, Practice. It all comes with time. understanding polishing is like trying to “split the atom” . There are millions of videos online and every Detailer has there own little tricks or methods. Another great Video Jon. Message from an old guy to young guys, Just Practice as much as you can. The first time you do it you will think the paint looks impressive. After a few thousand cars you will know you can get the paint to look better.👍😬
wise words mate, and perhaps dont rush but dont expect perfection.. lot of videos out there give the impression of perfection.. They are not real.. when you are up close and personal to your paintwork in the right light you will see all sorts of things.. but if you can get it looking good in strong light then it will look awesome outside in normal light..
Yes we all think it looks brilliant in the shop under a very impressive lighting set up but the true test is always putting it in direct sunlight. There is no hiding anything in direct sun.
Thank you Jon, i did wonder Why i wasnt getting much if any correction then you said "put the weight of your hand on the machine", i had been Taking the weight of the machine so it floated over the panels, letting it sit with the weight of a hand got me correction, ok it has just taken 6hours to do the Roof of my car (volvo v50) with S20black then s40, and i stll have the deeper scratches but its worked a LOT better than how i was working before, one Glossy 15year old V50 coming up ,with the deeper scratches still left, Many thanks again. fyi, Same hex logic pads and compound combinations, chosen before you uploaded this, 600w DA "shine mate" spot pads + backing plate in 3inch
DAS 6 is my first DA polisher of choice (220v here), waaay back in 2010, since porter cable only runs with 110v. I still use it for interior scrubbing with different attachment... great machine.
Love all your video's mate. Helped me take the plunge (pt) into starting my own little business. Actually work in forensic biology full time but started doing some friends/family cars at weekends etc. DA polishing is next up to learn. Your stuff is excellent and you are a great teacher - keep it up.
I’m a girl and thinking of polishing my car by myself (i’m one of those that wants and thinks can do everything by themself) this video really helped thanks!
thanks mate and best of luck. you will need to work a bit faster than I polish in this video and perhaps utilise pressure a bit more. try and work clean mate and once a week clean your equipment down dont let all the polishers get dirty and all the trigger sprayers etc.. try and be organised and clean. get your cleaning prep done fast and be a bit more agressive with the cleaning when the cars are bad. lots of cars wont get anywhere near perfect but just good % improvement. best of luck mate.
Great video. I love detailing but I’m just getting into polishing. I never cleaned the pad before each section and by the end I had so much build up I knew something was wrong mid way. Great video!!!
Thank you Sir if your looking for more tips and tricks you should check out my Detailing Fundamentals training course with discount code applied: ioa.pxf.io/c/2687409/1012495/12764
4:54 i dont even have a polisher yet but the last video i watched suggested not hitting cracks immediately when spreading out your product. He said to spread out onto the pannel and then once you are spread hit the crack. That way you dont deposit a bunch of pure product in the crack.
I liked this video better than the last on beginners guide to machine polishing. First car I machine polished was a 2014 Jag XF Sportbrake that had been valet washed by the dealer and left copious amounts of scratches from the brush they used. Your write in what you say it’s defo a whole day although I was 2 in my garage was well pleased with the results have a 2018 Sportbrake now and have just started the process on that car I’ll get it back to showroom standards eventually it just takes time lots of time
I like this video. Very good explanation of how to correct and what to expect. I have 2 cars to correct: A 2007 with deep scratches and marring and a 2015 SUV with white paint. I can't wait until after the holidays to start correcting their paint.
1. I would ipa wipe down after using onr whenever it's used as a clay lube or standalone ratio 1:256. 2. I would use straight moves taking off the residue left by a compound/polish to make sure i am not doing any new scratches.
1) ONR does not benefit from being wiped with alcohol solvent. It doesnt need to be wiped with solvent. It just needs to be wiped and thats it really. 2) I would not use straight lines. it doesnt remove product as effectivly. at least I would buff in light gentle circles, especially with open pile towels thats also the best way to do it. but you can buff straight if you want :) Im sure I have done :)
First of all im Your huge fan and as a person who watched almost all Your videos im amazed how good work You're doing. 1. As a Optimum fan (im using hyper-twins) i dont see a point to use ipa after onr as it is meant to work this way -You simply impregnate pad with onr. However as a Yyvan Lacroix said onr leaves some sort of hydrophobic protection so it means there is "something" (polymers?) on a paint that can affect polishing stage. 2. I said it only because a new person can make some scratches removing the residue (especially on soft japanese paints) maybye using bad microfibre cloth or dirty one. That kind of unexperienced person would not see the difference between scratches that wasn't cut and making a new ones.
Ok so after many years of hand polishing all of my cars, I have come across this video and now I desperately want a DA Polisher! Excellent video 👍🏼 Liked and subscribed 😀
You put such passion and detail (excuse the pun) into your videos i always come back to you to check if the other guys are doing it right. You the man. lol
Excellent video. Just finished my FIRST ever machine polish...worried I'd muck it up, but followed this video to the letter..Great results on my E-Class (hard lacquer?) and fully confident for my next polish...Thank you..
ive been working on corrting the 140 in the evenings. and like ive been doing a wing tonight and my final inspection pass I find 3 marks. and like seriously I had to just let them go and say thats it.. enough is enough or it starts getting ridiculous.. there are limits. perfection is not real. at least it isnt for me. and my god this paint on this m140 is ridiclous the m135 was good, nice and hard. but the m140 its concrete.
I'm just looking at machine polishing for the first time, a very helpful and informative video. It's given me the confidence to have a go , so thanks for that. Great video, and now subscribed.
yer I though about like changing the pad and abrasive recomendations but I have to consider like global availability on these videos and I know the scholl concepts stuff works well on the DA with these pads. its a pretty solid combo.
nice video - covers the process effectively and quickly with good tips all the way through. Lot more focussed and practical than a lot of other detailing intro type vids out there.
Excelent vídeo! There is one thing that you should talk, many peaple what's perfection, 100% Swirls free, but forget to get that 100% they are taking off clearcoat. And If they dont have any ptg, is better to live with some defects and have clearcoat.
yes absoluetly.. and on heavily swirled cars, you will end up chasing your tail doing things which are a bit silly if your try and chase perfection.. dunno theres no right or wrong but really you should use the first few sets to decide an approach to determine how many overall sets yo will be doing. and do those sets really well...
It seems to me that if you are polishing a daily driver, for me, I'm going to make it look real nice with a single stage like this and wouldn't even consider the time it would take to do another step. If I'm not getting up on it with a high dollar flashlight to see something the naked eye can't see, this if all I need. Great video!
totally agree daily driver... may like you might just wash, rapid decon, rapid polish... wax it up or something.. but some peoples dailys are like 60 grand 5 series BMW's or MErcs.. so no right or wrong but yer.. Im with you.
Something I'd like to add from my experience doing my car is get a ceramic coating to seal in that nice fresh paint and protect it for longer before inflicting scratches on it. I feel I made a mistake not getting one and just putting a sealant and waxed on top. Also for decontamination it might make life easier before claybaring by using a spray on fallout removing when cleaning the car before machine polishing it. I used Bilt hamber auto wheels and that helped removed some of the fallout. Helped make it a little easier when claybaring.
chem decon is a good idea. yer skipping it isnt ideal I just think to polish a car in a day you gotta get a shifty on. And I think you prolly best off skipping it.. dont feel right to say that though :) ceramics.. Im not sure they are right for me.. get get to my paintwork :) dunno
The best and easiest to follow video I've seen yet on the basics of machine polishing. Thanks Jon, this really has made me want to take the plunge and invest in a da polisher etc.👍
I've only done it once so far,, looked amazing....until the next day direct sunrise! I was horrified by the holograms everywhere. That was 1.5 yr ago & I'm about to have another try.
Great video as usual. Nice to see you publicise the reality of a single stage polish! Perfection is great, but far less efficient as far as time and money goes!
Decent video and tips, cheers. Luckily I bought a similar DA polisher here in Australia for $115 , 3 pads included. Beats polishing by ✋️ and on the cheap. One thing I found is there is a reason why that 'M'.... product is twice the price , bight the bullet and use sparingly. Polished a hilux with canopy and used bugger all product.
Subscribed from Down Under. Love your vids and they are very informative. Collect my Das6-Pro early next week. First time polisher. Thanks for all your hard & I'm sure time consuming work, making these vids. Very much appreciated & I would not tackle this, without your vids advising me every step of the way. Cheers.
Great video! I’m going to try my hand at polishing this weekend, my new bike has a small scuffed area from my backpack rubbing the fender and it’s driving me crazy
Great video Jon. Wish there was something like this at the beginning of 2006 when I picked up my first DA. I had to read pages of instructions on Detailingworld!
Thanks for the video. Your comment about videos not showing difficult panels rings true for my research. I've had problems polishing door panels maybe because the way I am holding the polisher. In fact I have had pads come apart, the velcro coming away from the pad. Any suggestions? Or a video?
Finally a video covering the things I wanted to see. Real time polishing, cleaning pads inbetween and realistic expected results from a one stage. Thanks man
I literally came to utube this evening to find out how long machine compounding would take... clearly a good number of hours to get the whole car done. Every video makes it seem like a 90 min - 2 hour job (which I'm guilty of), and I'm left wondering why I don't see much of a difference 😂
I’m going back
Exactly what I was looking for to!
I am Polish and I am glad to see a good polish on yt. Proud.
Don’t know if I’m just dyslexic but was this a joke haha
Despite having 4 years of weekend warrior detailing experience, this video still served as a great refresher! I like the narrative style of the video 👍
Amazed that you have fitted this into just 14 minutes!
thank dave was a lot of info crammed in to this.
Thank you!!! I have recently watched a lot of videos on polishing. This is by far the easier to follow and the first one I’ve found that has taken away the fear! Great stuff mate

Fantastic easy tutorial for someone who is looking for a start, thanks
Thx, probably the most realistic video about polishing your car for beginners. Love your show!
What an excellent, informative and well presented video - thank you John.
Your videos are all great but this has to be one of the very best! 👏👏👏
This is one of so many reasons I truly enjoy watching Jon's videos - thank you Jon!!! 👏👏👍👍

What a great video. As a beginner it couldn’t be better.
Glad it was helpful
Love this vid....demystifies the skill and gear required to carry out a decent polish.
Great video as always fella, some great simple advice for us weekend warriors 👌
Sideways Kris yep, what he said 👍🏻
Dude, you are a lovely bloke who presents his craft beautifully. I have learnt loads. Thanks
thank you sir honestly guys like you make it all worth while.
Thank you John, fab video reminding me it's not perfection, but definately better! Thankyou for all your videos, they're amazing.
Great video again, thanks!

Exactly what I need as just about to attempt for the first time. Thanks

Jon, this will help so many people, well done on a really great video👏
25-30 ipa to 70-75 water
Thanks mate. Your videos are great. Saving me a fortune keeping my car in tip top shape
DAS 6 is my first DA polisher of choice (220v here), waaay back in 2010, since porter cable only runs with 110v. I still use it for interior scrubbing with different attachment... great machine.
Nice one Jon, a true gent that took the time to reply back to my emails with good sound advice 👍🏻😉
Great video Jon. Getting the basics down with realistic outcomes. Nice and concise 👍👍
Love all your video's mate. Helped me take the plunge (pt) into starting my own little business. Actually work in forensic biology full time but started doing some friends/family cars at weekends etc. DA polishing is next up to learn. Your stuff is excellent and you are a great teacher - keep it up.
So you're very nearly copying the name of his channel?
Hell yes! Watching this multiple times
I’m a girl and thinking of polishing my car by myself (i’m one of those that wants and thinks can do everything by themself) this video really helped thanks!
Thank you for this video. It made me appreciate professionals. I'm definitely going to hire someone now, haha!!
Me too, sod doing this myself!
Followed step by step on my lads Fiesta and what a transformation! Cheers for all the advice!
Thanks very much just started a new job as a valeter and detailer and this has really helped and gave me lots of confidence 😀 👍
thanks mate and best of luck. you will need to work a bit faster than I polish in this video and perhaps utilise pressure a bit more. try and work clean mate and once a week clean your equipment down dont let all the polishers get dirty and all the trigger sprayers etc.. try and be organised and clean. get your cleaning prep done fast and be a bit more agressive with the cleaning when the cars are bad. lots of cars wont get anywhere near perfect but just good % improvement. best of luck mate.

Found this by complete accident... Great job, sir! Enjoyed the love you showed for teaching and your auto care🙏🏾

Nice job on the video sir. Was a good refresher for me as I’m am preparing to do a Ceramic coat on my truck. Appreciate it

Another top video Jon. Really informative for a beginners perspective of polishing
Ok so after many years of hand polishing all of my cars, I have come across this video and now I desperately want a DA Polisher! Excellent video 👍🏼 Liked and subscribed 😀
welcome ben
You put such passion and detail (excuse the pun) into your videos i always come back to you to check if the other guys are doing it right. You the man. lol
I appreciate that

Omg best tutorial so far... This blew my mind away, I feel so confident now. Well done
Great advise! Especially the expectations part.👌🏼
ive been working on corrting the 140 in the evenings. and like ive been doing a wing tonight and my final inspection pass I find 3 marks. and like seriously I had to just let them go and say thats it.. enough is enough or it starts getting ridiculous.. there are limits. perfection is not real. at least it isnt for me.
and my god this paint on this m140 is ridiclous the m135 was good, nice and hard. but the m140 its concrete.
Another informative video and some great advice , especially take time and enjoy it , a very rewarding job when finished .
Another great vid JD - really useful, the point on the detailing brush as part of the wash phase is really important :-)
cheers danny
How about that for timing! Thanks Jon, this is really helpful.
I'm just looking at machine polishing for the first time, a very helpful and informative video. It's given me the confidence to have a go , so thanks for that. Great video, and now subscribed.
Thanks for the excellent video. I'm completely new to polishing a vehicle. I look forward to watching more. Keep up the great videos
Welcome aboard!
Great video. You explained everything very simply with easy to follow instructions along with reasonable expectations. 👍🏻
thank you for the tips on polishing , love your channel
I would like to get into detailing my own car. The video is very helpful. Cheers
Thank you very helpful for a first timer you came very highly recommended from a detailer
Nice job! great video! and tip on the old back! 😫👍👍👍
Love how you showed how to clean the pads too👌🏽🙏🏽
Amazing video wish every TH-cam video tutorial type videos were like this ! Well in fella pats on back 😄
Thanks 👍
A perfect combination that would work for most people including the professional .
yer I though about like changing the pad and abrasive recomendations but I have to consider like global availability on these videos and I know the scholl concepts stuff works well on the DA with these pads. its a pretty solid combo.
Thanks a lot. You really simplified it to a digestible form.
nice video - covers the process effectively and quickly with good tips all the way through. Lot more focussed and practical than a lot of other detailing intro type vids out there.
Excelent vídeo! There is one thing that you should talk, many peaple what's perfection, 100% Swirls free, but forget to get that 100% they are taking off clearcoat. And If they dont have any ptg, is better to live with some defects and have clearcoat.
yes absoluetly.. and on heavily swirled cars, you will end up chasing your tail doing things which are a bit silly if your try and chase perfection.. dunno theres no right or wrong but really you should use the first few sets to decide an approach to determine how many overall sets yo will be doing. and do those sets really well...
It seems to me that if you are polishing a daily driver, for me, I'm going to make it look real nice with a single stage like this and wouldn't even consider the time it would take to do another step. If I'm not getting up on it with a high dollar flashlight to see something the naked eye can't see, this if all I need.
Great video!
totally agree daily driver... may like you might just wash, rapid decon, rapid polish... wax it up or something..
but some peoples dailys are like 60 grand 5 series BMW's or MErcs.. so no right or wrong but yer.. Im with you.
Lovely video Jon nice guide for the beginners out there 👍🏻👍🏻
Something I'd like to add from my experience doing my car is get a ceramic coating to seal in that nice fresh paint and protect it for longer before inflicting scratches on it. I feel I made a mistake not getting one and just putting a sealant and waxed on top. Also for decontamination it might make life easier before claybaring by using a spray on fallout removing when cleaning the car before machine polishing it. I used Bilt hamber auto wheels and that helped removed some of the fallout. Helped make it a little easier when claybaring.
chem decon is a good idea. yer skipping it isnt ideal I just think to polish a car in a day you gotta get a shifty on. And I think you prolly best off skipping it.. dont feel right to say that though :)
ceramics.. Im not sure they are right for me.. get get to my paintwork :) dunno
Thank you, great tutorial, wish it was there 3 years ago when I was beginning my detailing adventure!
Thank you for your time and experience.
That's perfection in my eyes, good results for a one stage polish.
was decent but prolly roughly 90% correction. still swirls lurking in the dark taunting me! :) always the way though.
Thanks for spending your time making informative videos 🙂
The best and easiest to follow video I've seen yet on the basics of machine polishing. Thanks Jon, this really has made me want to take the plunge and invest in a da polisher etc.👍
car
Thank you for sharing this. No nonsense approach.
Very helpful thank you!! Only polished a couple of times and this is just a great recap of what I need to know, cheers!
Great video helped me as a first timer. Hood? I found the bonnet still looking for the hood😉. As you say BH products are out standing value.
dubstep in background is always great for instructional videos
Many thanks, I’ve a new bmw and foxes have scratches on the bonnet, ill be watching your videos before I attempt polishing them out, hopefully.
I've only done it once so far,, looked amazing....until the next day direct sunrise! I was horrified by the holograms everywhere. That was 1.5 yr ago & I'm about to have another try.
Great video as usual. Nice to see you publicise the reality of a single stage polish! Perfection is great, but far less efficient as far as time and money goes!
HUGE thank you as always!! Top level information that is easy to digest!
this was such a highly informational and instructional video THANK YOU SIR!!!
thank you mate appreciate the pat on the back.
Decent video and tips, cheers. Luckily I bought a similar DA polisher here in Australia for $115 , 3 pads included. Beats polishing by ✋️ and on the cheap. One thing I found is there is a reason why that 'M'.... product is twice the price , bight the bullet and use sparingly. Polished a hilux with canopy and used bugger all product.
Thanks Jon for another awesome video. I always look forward to seeing new information from you. Great job sir.
Subscribed from Down Under. Love your vids and they are very informative. Collect my Das6-Pro early next week. First time polisher. Thanks for all your hard & I'm sure time consuming work, making these vids. Very much appreciated & I would not tackle this, without your vids advising me every step of the way. Cheers.
This pretty much made me feel better about polishing over lines in the car. I was terrified to go over edges/bodylines.
Great video! I’m going to try my hand at polishing this weekend, my new bike has a small scuffed area from my backpack rubbing the fender and it’s driving me crazy
Jon, Thankyou for this video.. Just went out and bought a Das6 pro.. This video is sooo helpful!
Glad it was helpful
Excellent instruction and easygoing explanations to us newbies
Jon thats why i love the PXE 80, saves your back!
Great channel, so helpful and informative!
Thank you very much enjoyed the video going to try to correct micro scratches in soft clear. coat thanks again
Just subscribed, what an amazing channel
Another awesome vid Jon. 👌🏻
It's not a dig, but most car detailing videos I see the car is already mint 🙈😂
Great video Jon. Wish there was something like this at the beginning of 2006 when I picked up my first DA. I had to read pages of instructions on Detailingworld!
thanks chris
Careful on the edges!!!! It's REALLY EASY to take an edge down to primer or even metal with a fast buffer and some compound.
Thanks for the video. Your comment about videos not showing difficult panels rings true for my research. I've had problems polishing door panels maybe because the way I am holding the polisher. In fact I have had pads come apart, the velcro coming away from the pad.
Any suggestions? Or a video?
