What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage.
We're following the flowchart and we've already washed the car, we've already clayed it and
now we're moving on to the polishing.
Over here I have my TORQ 10FX setup with a White Quantum Pad along with our V4 All-In-One Polish.
The reason I went with V4 is because this paint is actually in really good shape but
there are still some minor scratches and swirls and we really want to make the pearl pop.
So the V4 has a micro abrasive that will even out those scratches getting this paint looking
right and the sealant will give it more shine and protection.
Lets get started!
I'll start by applying V4 All-In-One Polish to the White Pad but first you want to shake
up the product, this mixes all the chemicals together.
Since I'm only doing a small section at a time I only want to apply four or five dime sized drops.
I'll also spray the pad with Pad Conditioner and the reason for that is because you don't
want to put a dry pad on the surface so this helps reduce the chances of marring by reducing friction.
I'm going with the White Pad because like I said this paint is actually in really good
shape and it only needs a light polish.
Lets start by blotching it out.
The reason why you want to blotch it out is because if you put it on the surface and turn
the machine on it'll fling polish or compound all over the place making a huge mess.
After you've blotched it out put the machine on speed setting one and spread it out.
Before I bump it up to speed setting six which is what we polish at, I wanna go over a few
things, one keep the machine perfectly flat.
If you put it at an angle it will polish or cut into the paint and second as you're polishing
you should cover at least fifty percent of your last pass this way the polish job is even.
Once the polish has gone clear that's when you know it is time to buff off the excess.
On a car like this it is a little harder to tell because the car is white and when the
polish goes clear it may be difficult to tell but at the right angle you can see the haze.
One more thing, as I'm buffing off watch that you go in straight lines and not circles because
if you pick up any contaminants or clumps of compound it will create swirls which are
a lot easier to see and a lot harder to take out as opposed to a straight line scratch.
The same polish technique, I'll use it on the rest of the vehicle and finish it off
make it look right.
ANNNNNND scene!
I've just finished polishing off the big surfaces on this GT-R but there are some smaller areas
like on the window pillar and by the grill where there are some minor scratches and swirls
that I want to address.
So I'm moving down to a smaller machine, this is the TORQ X.
I've already put a three inch backing plate on it and a smaller pad.
It is still the same composite as the White Pad just smaller.
Same thing just take the V4 and apply a few drops.
Again, spray the pad with Pad Conditioner to reduce friction.
On the window pillar I've taped this off because this rubber molding will stain with polish
or sealant so be careful of things like that.
I've just finished polishing off the GT-R and it looks amazing.
The white has really been enhanced and the pearl really pops.
When this thing gets outside it is sure to turn a lot of heads.
I used the TORQ 10FX with a White Hex-Logic Quantum Pad and V4 All-In-One Polish.
The polish took down the minor scratches and swirls that were in this paint and the sealant
added shine and a durable protective layer against water spots, contaminants and harsh elements.
For the smaller areas I used the TORQ X this is a smaller machine that is a lot easier
to maneuver around the window pillars and other small areas.
As we're following the detailing flowchart, we've already washed it, we've already clayed
it and we've just polished.
So stay tuned for the next episode where we come back here and glaze the GT-R.
We'll see you next time.
