hi i'm jason rose rupus global director
of training
if you're watching this video you
probably purchase one of our da system
trial kits
or you're considering purchasing one so
if you have the yellow box you have
purchased our
da fine system trial kit included in
that kit is a one liter bottle of our da
fine polishing compound this can be used
as a stand-alone product for
moderate to fine defects or it could
actually be a second step
after another procedure on severe
defects
also in your kit is our yellow
coordinated d a fine polishing foam pad
and this is paired up with the liquid
and that is included in your kit either
in 150 millimeter or
180 millimeter in the event that you
would like a boost in defect removal
also included in your kit is our d a
wool
yellow pad this could be in 150
millimeter or
180 millimeter size and then finally
include in your kit
is also our yellow color coordinated
microfiber towel to remove the residues
during this application
so that's what's in your kit but how are
you going to get the most out of this
let me show you in our bigfoot academy
and here we are in the rupus bigfoot
detailing academy where we conduct our
world-class
training courses what we have here is a
beautiful specimen
it's from our friends at stap interstate
toyota
and this is a recent trade-in that has
not been polished yet
about 45 000 miles on it daily driven
car
has a great assortment of moderate to
severe defects for us
to do a demonstration of the da system
trial kit
that you purchased so our vehicle has
been properly washed
and decontaminated and now we are
inspecting and looking at the defects
and these particular defects on this
vehicle are ideally suited for
the da fine trial kit that you purchased
what we see here are some fine scratches
towel marks car wash marks and a little
bit of
etching from tree sap now we also
see random isolated defects that may or
may not
get removed with this kit but we are
going to
check it out with a test spot so the
first thing we need to do is select and
then prime
our pad now we are going to select
our yellow d a wool pad because it sort
of matches these defects a little bit
more on the moderate to severe side
and this will give us a better
expectation of defect removal
now the first thing before we do our
test spot is we need to prime this pad
so we will center this pad on the
backing plate
then we will apply
an x pattern of compound
on the pad
so we've applied an x here you could
actually put any pattern a compound but
the important thing is to take
some sort of a spreader we have our
bigfoot
pad tool here but you just want to take
some sort of a spreader and spread that
compound in both directions
so that it applies thinly and evenly
across these fibers and then if you're
using the
foam pad all you need to do is apply
that x to that foam
and then proceed with the priming step
we'll select speed setting two
and we will run the tool on the paint
surface for just a couple of seconds
maybe up to 10-15 seconds
and the purpose of doing that is so that
the wool pad fibers get oriented to the
movement of the tool
and it really smooths out the
application
and there we are primed we'll kind of
check for any dry spots
you may or may not add a little bit more
compound but typically
that priming step will get a good amount
of compound to do this application
we will adjust our tool speed to speed
four this is our starting point
and our application will consist of an
area
that is about six times the pad diameter
of
whatever pad you're using and we will
make three passes this way
and three passes in the opposite
direction within that area
all right we will wipe this residue off
it should actually be a very quick and
fast
residue wipe off our premium low pile
microfiber towel here is ideally suited
for this particular liquid and the pad
that we're using
and as you can see it really wipes off
the residue really really fast and easy
and at this point we will inspect our
results
so as you can see that application was
fast and easy and
fantastic result this is exactly what we
had hoped for
and if this was our test spot
we would obviously conclude that this
match of the
da wool pad and the da fine liquid
is a perfect choice for these defects it
came out
clear and even there's a couple of
defects that this did not remove but we
would expect that they wouldn't
it's a rock chip or a much much deeper
random isolated defect but generally
speaking all those defects that we
observed before have been removed we
have clear
glossy paint and that is the absolute
best result we can expect
now in your kit you also have that
yellow foam pad
and every car is different the paint
hardness is different the severity of
the defects are different
so there is an opportunity sometimes
where you might need that yellow foam
pad
and the times that you would need that
is when uh
the wool pad might be a little bit too
aggressive for your paint
and your defects in that case you could
actually switch to that yellow foam
and get this result using that pad now
that we've defined the process we
would love to get this result on the
entire car so to get this repeatable
result
all we do is reload the pad with a
couple of drops of compound
reapply on this size section throughout
the entire car
and then you can get this fantastic
result on everything
you really need to keep that pad clean
throughout this entire process of
polishing this vehicle so to do that you
can take the rupus
pad brush brush off that pad
every other section you can use
compressed air
you can use a vacuum with a crevice tool
but somehow
apply a cleaning procedure after a few
sections
as you do this car and that will
maintain this performance and get you
this fantastic result
throughout your entire vehicle well
thank you for purchasing
our da fine trial kit we hope that you
get these
fantastic results on your car and
in the event that you have more severe
defects or perhaps sandy marks
or you need a lot more aggressive
procedure we have that for you
in our da course trial kit
and for delicate paint finishes or
ultra fine polishing we have our da
ultrafine trial kit that will be perfect
for you in that scenario
