How to use a Dual-Action Machine Polisher

by steviewevie, 10-07-2017, 05:13 AM

There's a very comprehensive guide to using a dual-action machine polisher (e.g. G220) over at Detailing World, here.

Please note that polishers are normally either "rotary" or "dual-action". Dual-action polishers are typically easier to use for those without experience of using machine polishers, but consulting the respective guide should help you out whichever type you have.

Holographic swirl burst

by russelllinn, 09-07-2017, 06:17 PM

The below picture shows this on a car, not mine but my bonnet was similar.



Was given a tester from local car valet place of '3M holographic remover', which is applied after a wash and prior to, for example, autoglym super resin polish (which is what I use)

Anyone else used this, I think it works okay but really needs a machine to get the most out of it I reckon?!

My bonnet was pretty bad (in certain lights) following the previous owners use of the car wash and my attempt with a paint renovator, seems to have come up okay, need to have another go with a depp shine polish then wax I think?
