Great to have Yvan back again. Very valuable program.
George Glines thank you
Gave it a go last night from my usual technique (manufactures instructions on bottle). Worked like a charm!
Really? Interested to hear that
Great discussion! Great work like always.
Great stuff guys!
So even when using a DA with a foam cutting pad, I should put no pressure on it?
Joey Crysel correct
Thanks for the tip!
Love the Opti-Coat bow-tie!
I will give this a try very soon. Heat is always a bad thing for the foam pads too!
Nice outro Tim!
Very interesting to here I wish we had training week ends in the here in the ( uk )
Dave Newton get 15 of your mates together and I will come to you.
Living in North Dakota, the weather is like a kick in the go-betweens most of the time. Summer lasts about as long as this TH-cam video. But the benefits of cold polishing might be one of the few advantages. Glass half full!
Yvan is back, but where's the rest of him?!!! Swear he looks way trimmer than when he last appeared on detalks.
Switched to a much healthier Ketogenic lifestyle, weight loss was a side effect of being healthy.
As a Québécois at 800 miles north from Montreal's, its always fricking cold wen a detail a car. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Luc Vallières très drôle Luc
Does this mean you actually want to use a higher speed when finishing? Eg. To be the best finish start slow speed no pressure then increase speed and add a tiny amount of pressure?
Excellent info that I’ll make sure I implement. Thank you
Tom Fanshawe cool, slow and low start to finish. Heat is detrimental in all stages of paint correction.
Does this include compounding with intitial cut?
Biggest takeaway.... paint diff to be max 20 degrees F during polishing. Guess it's time to break out the ice water sprayer
It's not hard to do. With little to no pressure and a low speed, the temp differential should only be 7 degrees or less without having to really try or worry about it. You actually have to be trying to get a temp differential above 20 degrees.
That 20 degrees differential - is that Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Martin Bowen Fahrenheit
@@LacroixCruiser in other videos you've said a spread of 40 degrees Fahrenheit which is ~20 Celsius?

Martin Bowen , like everyone I continue to learn, and new information has convinced me to revise the number.
@@LacroixCruiser very interesting! Never thought such a small variation in temperature would cause damage. Talking about damage - what kind of damage are we speaking of?
yvan is definitely high on something very strong
Are the compounds with diminishing abrasives working good enough with this technique, eg. with no pressure?
Sherukka yes
Levi - stop moving your hands so much. I am trying to read what you have spelled on your fingers!
Joseph Connolly I think it says Cadillac on the top and the bottom says chop shop
Hey Levi - if Adam nailed it he should get some free Pluffles and Eagles!
Joseph Connolly and Levi I like that idea!
