Welcome to Chemical Guys Detail Garage!
Today, I am super excited to introduce the brand new TORQ15 DA!
Now this is our newest installment to the TORQ line.
Now lets go over the few key points.
That makes this machine so great.
Starting off, obviously it has a 15 milometer throw, which is the intermediate between the
8 and the 21, so it give you guys a range of vehicles that you can polish, and also
it makes it a lot easier to cut throw corners and edges, such as this vehicle here.
Now here you have a 5-inch backing plate that this machine is capable of a 5 and 6, but
the 5, we found is a lot easier and universal for polishing modern paint and you see it
has this hook and loop style backing plate that has all these holes in there.
These holes help ventilate the pad, so 1 its reducing heat which saves the paint and is
also going to save your pad.
Now it also has this spacing here, which reduces any drag in the backing plate to save the
backing plates life.
You see it has these vents here to help cool the motor, which is also a 900 watt motor
so you have more power, but is also more balanced so its not going to ware on you, not ware
on your ear drums it's just a smooth balanced machine.
On the top here it has rubberized grips so your not getting fatigue on your finger tips,
trigger less design for less fatigue on longer polishing jobs and if we flip it over here
you have this large LED screen.
This is going to accurately pick the OPM and the speed of the machine so that working with
a partner you guys can set the exact same speed and get consistent same results over the entire
vehicle.
Also it helps you gauge what you working with, so if you need a higher speed you can bump
it up or slow it down and it's all right here at your finger tips.
Now what we are going to do today is show you how to polish with this machine and how
easy it is to work around corners, doubled edges and also these large flares that we
have on this Porsche and we are going to attach a 5-inch white Hex-Quantum pad, which also
has a hook and loop back.
Simply center it, so your not getting any excess vibration and using our Slick Finish
Cleaner Wax, this is a mild abrasive, which helps cut down minor scratches and swirls,
light oxidation, but it's going to be leave behind a fine layer of Carnabua which enhances
shine specifically like this one has a bright white finish.
A lot of you guys know it's hard to enhance white so this is going to make it pop.
We will add just a few dots to our pad about the size of one hex.
Then we will also add some of the Pad Conditioner, which helps to moisten the pad and this is going
to reduce any kind of friction and prevents any type of dusting, but also helps the chemical
do its jobs and thoroughly break down over the surface.
All you have to do is blotch it out and then on the lowest speed setting or in speed setting
1, your going to spread out in the section you are working in, about a 2 foot by 2 foot
section.
On the highest speed setting, that's when you are going to do the polishing.
Now what you want to do is make sure the machine is completely flat, even on curved edges you
want to get it as flat as possible and you want to make sure it's perpendicular to the
vehicle.
What I like to do is keep my thumb just about here under the analog screen so you are not
putting pressure to one side or the other.
Just simply keep it nice and straight and then you kind of need to gauge yourself with
this using your top hand this is going to help control it and keep it nice and flat.
So lets get to it.
Now before we get started your going to see that this machine does not bog down like a
typically DA would.
This has a lot of power so it's going to help help push through those scratches and swirls
and these hard to reach areas or areas that are contoured that normal DA would kind of
stall or back off on, so this is going to help you save time and effort and it's going
to give you consistent results every time.
There you have it, you see the TORQ15 easily and thoroughly breaks down any kind of polish,
this way you have less time spent on polishing, more time focusing on the rest of the vehicle
and also whenever you shut the machine off it goes back down to 0, so it doesn't matter
what speed you are in.
Say you unplug it or you have to stop immediately simply shut it off and it goes right back
down to 0 and that is a safety feature to make sure it doesn't kick or throw back on
you.
This is going to help you safely polish any size vehicle, any shape vehicle weather it's
a motorcycle, car, truck, RV, boat this is one perfect machine to get in any kind of
intricate area.
Now we are going to take a clean microfiber towel and buff off the spent polish.
Now after buffing it off you can check your work to make sure you removed all the scratches
and swirls any kind of oxidation and restored a mirror shine.
This vehicle can now be coated, it can be glazed, sealed or waxed to help lock in the
shine but most importantly repel any kind of UV rays or harsh elements.
Now if you are new to polishing there are a few steps you need to take before you actually
polish.
That is obviously wash the vehicle, clay to remove any embedded contaminates and then
you can use a surface prep like Wipe Out to remove any remaining oils, so you can get
the perfect results while you are polishing.
