- Depending upon what physical shape you are in doing the lower areas of the car can tire you out quickly; you will be using muscles in ways you normally do not use them.
- Drape the power cord over your shoulder and down your back so it does rub on the car as you are working panels.
- Freewheeling the polisher is bad for the polisher and will throw product all over the place, into places, and heights you won't believe—until you try to cleanup the mess.
- I usually use a bleacher seat cushion to place the polisher on (not on its pad) and another to move around the floor for my knees.
- I typically wash the car down entirely between the different polishes and before the waxes.
- It will take a lot more time than you think!
And probably my best tip—if this is your first time and especially since you have a black car—start by doing someone else's car. Are your parents close by?
