Well I was able to make a few videos of the vehicle I just completed, 2007 MazdaSpeed 3.

Again I share this to show/illustrate how I do things, my technique/way of doing things may be different then yours but just thought I'd share and hope it helps

Again I apologize for the long download time but I'm all about quality and I do my best to deliver quality

First video illustrates how I polish the 3M protection on this vehicle, products used is a Metabo (no more then 1,100RPM setting 2), 3M Backing Plate, 3M Black Polishing pad (UK), 3M Ultrafina (UK).

The second video I decided to do because this vehicle has some nice curves and thought it would be good to show how I treat edges, with the intention that it would help others. Same products/items used as in the first video but the RPM's were bumped up to 1,500RPM (speed 3 on the Metabo):

The Last video is basically to show the difference a good polishing technique can accomplish:

another great video. I had a question though. How come you are using a black 3m pad to finesse it? I thought the blue ones were softer and more of a finishing pad?

Yes, you are correct the Blue Finishing Pad is the one for finessing and I tried it combined with UF (UK) and it just wasent removing all the micro marring that was on the vehicle. So this time I bumped up to the Black 3M pad as it has a slight better bite to it compared to the Blue one.

Certain areas of the vehicle required to bump the polish as well but you'll see what I mean when I post the write up.

Nice thing is that the Black pad is just as soft as the Blue and it finished off really well with the vehicles clear coat.

Thank you for the feed back and glad you enjoyed the videos

My home boy distrbd, glad you enjoyed it bro
The funny thing is that recording/making the video is easy, it's the conversion and making sure to maintain that HD quality that takes for ever But that will soon change as I'll be picking up my MacBook Pro soon Video rendering will be much faster soon
Thank you for the feed back, very much appreciated and I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.

Should, i have a mac and downloaded it fine. Just click the link, let it download, and then play with WMP.

Awesome vids. Thanks for the teaching!

Not only did I learn something about the rotary, but also about the UF. I was not working it enough...

Great job SIR!

p.s. Nice accent.

Thanks for another great set of videos. It seems I need to work UF a little bit longer also.

Just one question - In the last video where you are using UF on the paint (not the 3M protection) how did you handle the correction step and the edges? Smaller bp/pad combo? Wool?
