DanZr10 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hey everyone, I saw the youtube videos of junkman destroying swirls and scratches both of which my car has. I placed an order for Adam's Basic kit and I was hooked just placed my order for the DA Car polish kit and very excited for it to arrive. Im extremely new to detailing so if anyone has tips and hints especially with the PC, would be very appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanZr10 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 I have a quick question? Small spots or hard to reach areas i don't buff or wax with a pc right I do it by hand? and if i buff/wax by hand do i use buttery wax or stay with machine super wax since the rest of the car will have that on it. Junkman, it would be awesome to see a video of a polishing/waxing video explaining this, meaning how or what to tape and explaining what to do with the small areas and mirrors or side skirts. I know you are prob crazy busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 You can use MSW by hand in those areas :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman2008 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Dan, I guess I will have to make a video addressing that. I use the focal pads attached to a PC. Adam likes using a drill but I don't like to advise that because someone out there is going to use a air drill and wipe all the paint off their car!

DanZr10 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 So you definitely suggest using the focal pads for those areas and still sticking with the same polishes and wax made for the pc. Oh with the focal pad do I use a different counterweight for those? Use blue painters' tape? Thanks Junkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come with the attachment hardware necessary to attach them to the PC. Your counterweight is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
