I want to get deeper into detailing and this includes polishing. After watching you guys my dad has been doing it all wrong. I’m really glad I’m came across your videos. I have been watching them non stop.

Huge respect to you for not editing out the red pad getting dry. You're the real deal teaching you're whole method. Thank You is all I can say

My past mistakes prior to learning from Yvan : 1) Dry pad 2) Not cleaning pad 3) Too much pressure on the pad during buffing 4) Not keeping pad even on paint surface 5) Buffer speed too high 6) Not using Gold Standard 7) taking on too large of a section at a time. RESULTS : SWIRLS, 3D ETCHINGS, SCRATCHES, PRECIOUS CLEAR COAT REMOVAL USELESSLY.

That tip to take a video of yourself and see where you need to correct posture is a great idea.💡Thanks for that and explaining your system. Now I understand it much better. Glad I found this particular DIY detailing video👍

Wow, this video is a GEM!!!<br>I bought a 15mm because the industry says is the perfect balance between cut & finish, a 21mm I was told cuts too much and leaves micro marrying....<br>Yvan, you are the true dr, professor & hero!<br>Nick is so good complementing the teachings and questioning...<br><br>Best channel by far!!!!!

Thank you Yvan, for the tip on removing the rubber band on my palm Sander. That’s more like it - free spinning. Can’t wait to test it

When I started my paint correction journey, I tried what I knew then which was the "priming" of the pad. Disastrous results, horrible dusting even using a pad conditioner spray (more so since I was working outside in the heat under a canopy for shadow). Once I learned from you that a clean pad is a happy pad, learned how to keep it clean even w/o a pad washer, and that less is usually better, things worked so much better. And this was with Meguiar's products. So, thanks again for the free advice, Yvan and Nick 👍🏻
