I’m polishing an Airstream, & have literally watched dozens of videos trying to figure out why I have these occasional thin hazy patches. It’s driving me crazy! This video makes so much sense. Thank you!!!!!
I’ve searched you tube for removing scratches from a stainless steel refrigerator. I saw what was available ( NOT MUCH ) and I understand where they are coming from , only because I’ve watched your videos. So I thought , man , if Evan did a video on this with instructions and products then we could come close to a professional result. So if you ever get bored , LOL ! ! ! ! !
Thank you I need this right now at this very time. I'm polishing out of Step Van and I'm leaving streaks everywhere. Perfect timing for this video for me! thank you
Awesome! New trick of the trade for my toolbox. I’ve always had trouble leaving white lines in the end caps and no matter how many times I’d go over them I’d just move them around, but this video should help me take care of that! Thanks again Evan! Great vids! Keep ‘em coming!👍🏼
Question; Would the surface contact area play a role? I was half expecting you to say that the buff wheel's surface contact is relevant to the black line width. In maintaining equal pressure on the buffing wheel the flat surface has greater contact with the wheel than with a convex surface, and that the different width of the black line is in respect to the relative contact the wheel makes due to the deflection of the buffing wheel.
from Another Evan all the way from Australia, cheers for all the informative content you give out, it's been absolutely instrumental in moving my own business from purely detailing based to offering metal polishing services as well, could i request a video where you go over your biggest mistakes/blunders in your early career and your thought process when it came to those jobs as i think it'll be useful for alot of us newer guys to hear the troubles someone with your amount of experience has had arise over the years. once again thankyou for the awesome content and look forward to more in the future.
You should check out our podcast. Polisher's Corner. They are long but we discuss this on every episode. And with other polishers as well as myself. But yes I should do another video on what to avoid or what to not do to better your business early on. Thank you.
Your explanation about pressure build-up being greater on a flat surface vs rounded one is spot on. The part about slinging the compound is wrong, the slinging distance on rounded surface would be greater, however the air pressure build-up on flat surface overwhelms the compound slinging and creates wider compound line on flat surface.
Great explanation. Makes total sense now. Two thoughts though- 1)someday,you WILL buff through that tank.2)with a big enough 'fro, you, could pass for Bob Ross
So I was going to a chrome shop to buy new buffs and compound, and I saw this 8 inch orange buff that was really hard and stiff the texture almost felt like hard sandpaper. And I was wondering that if I had a harder buff it would be more effective for the first step of cutting and polishing. And get that nice shine on the first run. So my question is does it matter how hard or soft the buff is? And does the harder buff scratch and leave marks on the aluminum? 🤔🤔
Can you please tell me .once you have polished a tank .what would you use to stop it going dull again .would you put wax over the polished surface to prolong the shine .thanks
Hand polish is the only realistic option. Aluminum needs to breath. And going dull is what it does. If you clear coat it it'll dull. If you wax it it'll dull. It is what it does. LOL
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thank you for the great advice again Evan ! Just like to say always great to get good advice from a good man like you ! Great videos too
You are the Bob Ross of polishing! Look at that little tree in my shine!
I like that analogy! I feel there are a lot of great polishers but thank you for that comment.
@Evan Steger your work is top-notch, Evan. Really appreciate your content!
Single handedly fixed my tiger strip issue on flatwork by just not chasing the black line
That is great news. So happy to hear that. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel.
This video is gold. A problem that I’ve always struggled with, thanks for the in depth explanation.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
Best video I found

Definitely enjoy the videos everyone says I'm professional I say far from it but watching these videos it's really helping me out
Thank you for watching and I am truly thankful that you find the videos helpful. I don't consider myself a professional either lol

No thank you. Lol I have done more appliances than I care to admit and I definitely don't want people getting the idea I want to do more. LOL
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing LOL , I DONT BLAME YOU , LOL, But I will continue to watch your polishing videos any way , YOUR THE MAN ! ! !

Great info I’d love to see more like this. Want to get after your online classes how much does it cost?
Information is attached to the video. Cost for the virtual class is $1100.00
Great video
Thank you brother. Truly means a lot.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing you bet

What a great training video, I don't have the same tools but love the chase the shine was very great lesson. Thank you for the great information.
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching.
awesome ,,,,, graat explaination :) answers lots of questions

Super simple he says 🤣 thats awesome thanks this helps tons
Happy to help.
Dude you are awesome
Appreciate it brother.
Why do you use the harbor freight buffers
I don't use harbor freight buffers.
Great explanation. Makes total sense now. Two thoughts though- 1)someday,you WILL buff through that tank.2)with a big enough 'fro, you, could pass for Bob Ross
LMMFAO I am def no bob ross. He is the master for sure. But I do look good in a fro. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting.

So my question is does it matter how hard or soft the buff is? And does the harder buff scratch and leave marks on the aluminum? 🤔🤔
so the solution to not leave marks on flat surfaces is to keep your polishing gap smaller?
Not just smaller but stay behind the black line. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I have a question what do you do about the black lines
Video posted, sorry for the late response.
Can you please tell me .once you have polished a tank .what would you use to stop it going dull again .would you put wax over the polished surface to prolong the shine .thanks
Hand polish is the only realistic option. Aluminum needs to breath. And going dull is what it does. If you clear coat it it'll dull. If you wax it it'll dull. It is what it does. LOL
It is my default all time ! Flat surface buff more tighter than round surface ??
Yes.
How many trucks do you do a day
On average 3-4 trucks a day.
What is a flowescent light? You mean florescent?
Not sure what you mean.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing look at the whiteboard. Says replace flowescent lights upstairs
@@moosey1978 Oh gotcha. Yeah my guys in the shop just write stuff fast. I understand. Flourescent doesn't really matter to me.
So how about some aerodynamic buffs?
Love it. Next great idea. Imma name this one after you. Thank you bud for the support.
Can you split the flat side in half
You can but you shouldn't. Anytime you split anything you will see the difference.
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing thank you for the great advice again Evan ! Just like to say always great to get good advice from a good man like you ! Great videos too
Okay you explain the problem now what do we do about it please let me know cuz there's a big problem on me
I always blamed it on reflection, concave mirrors are different than flat mirrors.
Interesting idea for sure.
That wind is kinda like a firehose hitting a wall.. Got nowhere to go
Exactly right. Thanks for watching.
Bob ross😂
I mean I can look good in a fro but I can't draw... LOL
1 aluminum tank thumbs down this lol
I can't please everyone. LOL Thanks for watching.
🙏🙏🙏💰💰💰💪💪💪
Keep Grindin!
@@EvanStegerMetalPolishing appreciate your time and effort Evan. This was the explanation I needed that changed everything
Thank you
