First time detailing your car? Watch this video - It shows everything you need to know and do


If you're new to car detailing, or perhaps you were given your first polisher for Christmas, no problem... we were all new to car detailing at one point.

This video shows you exactly what to do and how to do it and as is my normal teaching style, I tell you WHY you're doing it.

Maybe I'll re-watch it and the LIST every tip or technique I share in the video. While it does show me using the Porter Cable 7424XP, you can use the SAME EXACT TECHNNIQUES with dang near ANY other brand or type of polisher except the BEAST. With the BEAST you can tackle much larger section due to the power it has.

It is a great resource for anyone.

Agreed. I've seen it myself, repeated several parts, and have sent the link to others.

Mike - can you explain why this is? I thought the reason you can't expand much past a 2x2 section was due to the polish or compound drying out. thanks.

Interested in that answer as well. I'm sure it will be great

I'm not Mike, but the reason is that the Beast can correct faster with less section passes.

That said, don't just assume you can do half a car with it at once. The section size is always tied to 3 things: Tool(s), Abrasive technology, and experience/user technique.

The reason why you can tackler larger sections with the BEAST aka the FLEX XC 3401 VRG (no one but me is ever going to say the full name or type the full name of the BEAST), is because it has so much power.

It's gear-driven and offers an 8mm orbit stroke length. You can push down hard on it and as I like to say,

I demonstrated this at all my classes too. I'll probably demonstrate this in one of my classes at Mobile Tech Expo in a few weeks.
