    This is fantastic! I’ve owned a polisher for about 10 years, and never polished any of my cars for fear of screwing something up. This shows you can keep it simple, take your time and have fun with it. I also have a “pickup” and was a bit daunted by the size. I’m keen to have a go! Thanks OG!

    I have a truck similar to this, new to polishing. Is microfiber safe for me to begin with or would you suggest the wool yellows for more slightly cooler running?

    • @ObsessedGarage
      @ObsessedGarage  Рік тому

      A wool pad is going to be exceptionally more aggressive than a microfiber pad. They are used for heavy swirling and on hard paint that needs a lot of correction.

    RUPES just announced 3 new microfiber pads, they look like an improvement over the Meguiars and I'm sure Jason was instrumental in developing them.
    I know Jescar compound will forever have a place in your heart, but you should really try The Last Cut. I learned about it from The Rag Company, and it blew me away compared to Jescar. It will remove 3000 grit sanding marks, but finishes down very well on harder paints. Zero dust, won't stain trim if you accidentally sling it, and it also has a long working time.

    Really loving these videos but you can't discourage people by telling them they need to buy the $400 rupes polisher when it doesn't make sense for them
    Someone starting out it's hard to justify $400 for one piece of equipment, I personally am starting with a rupes knockoff I got for $80, $320 less than rupes. That'd be like me telling you why settle for a porche, just get a Bugatti... it's not pheasable or reasonable for many.
