polishing with a machine

It's all about perception on these forums. People who don't know can read something and come to the conclusion that they can go out and buy a bottle of wax

It's all about perception on these forums. People who don't know can read something and come to the conclusion that they can go out and buy a bottle of wax for example, apply it and make their paint shine like glass. I see that stuff all the time. When I do, I like to step in and get some clarification for those who don't know; dispel the misconceptions if you will.

Before I knew anything about this stuff (and before the Internet), I use to watch commercials about products like Nu Finish, that supposedly could make an old clunker in a junkyard look like new in a couple of wipes. I bought it hook, line and sinker because I didn't know any better. When I decided to teach the masses about this stuff, I did it for the sole reason to dispel all those myths and keep the unknowing from making those same mistakes. I also did it in order to keep folks from wasting all of their hard earned money. That's why I chimed in.

With places like Harbor Freight selling those low quality polishers, I don't want anyone to dump their hard earned cash into one of those things thinking that they are going to get the kind of results that I get when fixing paint. Not everything in detailing is expensive, I often prove that in my videos but some of the equipment and products do matter. Let's face it, we ain't driving Bentley's and Bugatti's here so if we can save some money, we are all for it. If I can provide that information to the masses, you can bet I'm going to do that.
