***Update***


I've added the 2006 Mustang and the 2012 Camaro FULL LENGTH videos to the first post.

All the cars used in the how-to videos were trashed before we started. We then put the cars through a multiple paint polishing process and took diamonds in the rough and turned them into glistening gemstones.


More to come in the future...

Mike, could you tell me where to find that extension you were using on the Flex in the mustang video? That is a great idea!

 

[Hoytman]

Any chance of uploading the live feed from january 29, 2012 where you said, "Hi" to my son Levi? I think he'd like to see that again, and mom missed it the first go-round.

Mike, could you tell me where to find that extension you were using on the Flex in the mustang video? That is a great idea!

I have this in a couple of my articles which you can find the link to my article list in my Signature Line...


It's an adapter that I use as an extension for surgical buffing with small pads and also to help when cleaning pads in a Pad Washer.

Video: Tip for cleaning pads in a pad washer

I took this picture some time ago to show how you can use an adapter or extension on a rotary buffer to make cleaning a pad easier when cleaning pads in a pad washer.

How it works
When using the Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer, the correct technique is to pump the pad up and down against the Grit Gard Insert as this causes the spring loaded water pumps to pump or inject water and/or water and cleaning solution into the face of the pad.

By using an extension you make it easier to pump or move the rotary buffer up and down inside the pad washer without the body of the rotary buffer bumping into the Splash Guard Lid.

I'll be showing guys how to do surgical buffing at my class this weekend on this car...


Want to learn to use the rotary buffer?
