How to Polish the OctaneGuy Way: HD VIDEO

Octaneguy · 04-08-2010, 10:08 AM

Just wanted to share my latest HD video, 10 minutes from an 18 hour paint polishing restore of a 2004 BMW 330 CI using Prima. Hope you enjoy.

I did pull out Meguiar's M105 and a 3" wool pad for a few moments to pull out some very deep scratches but otherwise it's all Prima. And in hindsight, the M105 didn't even work that well, I probably could have done without it.

Thanks! I used Meguiar's Professional Wheel Brightener in a 4:1 dilution to remove the caked on brake dust. Just spray on and rinse 95% of the dust off. Then I used a small soft brush to remove the rest of it. At the end of the restore, I used Hydro on the wheels as shown in the video to protect them and remove any residual dust I may have missed during the wash.

Looks great Richard

That kind of work is relatively easy to do, and folks should not be afraid of doing it. But is does take time, that was many hours of work edited down to 9 minutes.

I noticed outmotoring has a lot of the goods I assume one would need to do a similar job. Any place else I should check before I try to give this a go?

It would be self defeating if I didn't mention that I'm a vendor/sponsor here.

Check out ShowCarSupplies.com Shopping Cart for the goods and ShowCarDetailing.com for my detailing discussion forum. You're not going to find any better support on polishing paint from any vendor than from me. I can guarantee that.
