ULTIMATE DETAILING MACHINE
POLISH LIKE A PROFESSIONAL
Machine polishing is messy. No matter how skilled you become, the ma-
chine will always sling off some polish. To avoid a huge clean up job, use an
old bed sheet to cover areas of your car that you don’t want splattered with
polish. This little step will save you a lot of clean up work.
Polishing can be quite detrimental to trim. If you need to polish close to trim,
consider protecting it with a painter’s masking tape. If you run your polisher
against black plastic trim, rubber seals or brushed aluminum trim, you run
the risk of ruining the original matte finish. Masking around window trim,
door handles, windshield washer nozzles, antenna masts, door guards and
other trim will reduce your clean up work and save you a lot of heartache
from mistakes. Be safe; take the time to mask off your trim.
Polish should not be used sparingly. Doing so puts more of the workload on
the foam pad and causes the polish to dry out before you achieve any work.
Use polish liberally. Apply enough polish to work an area for one to two min-
utes before the polish hazes and begins to buff out.
Polish safely by keeping the pad flat on the surface you’re buffing and the
cord off of the paint. Wrapping the cord around your wrist or draping it over
your shoulder will effectively keep it off of your car’s paint. Also, do not tilt
the polisher. If you tilt the polisher, you will splatter polish and cause exces-
sive wear on your polishing pad. When your pad becomes caked with pol-
ish, use a pad cleaning brush or a pad cleaning spray to clean your pad.
use masking tape to mask off trim around
windows and areas where polishing would
harm the finish. it only takes a few min-
utes to do an entire car. in the end it will
save you a lot of time and grief.
