Spent the better part of 9 hours yesterday learning more than just the basics when it comes to detailing boats, and especially my favorite part.... using a BUFFER.
I never would have thought that I'd prefer it over hand waxing as much as I do. There really is no comparison.
Scott Clarke, from Gulf Atlantic Marketing, near Orlando, came up to teach me, and my new assistant, Seth, how to maximise our results, and how Meguiar's just flat out makes a superior product.
I wish I would have gotten more pictures, but it was such a busy day, between learning how to use which compound with which pad, pad maintenence, and running the whole gamut of professional detailing. I was EXHAUSTED... and it was a short day, compared to what I usually work (12-17 hours a day)....
Thank you Mr. Clarke!
Mr. Clarke explaining the differences between the three different buffings... MV81 with a wool pad, MV82 with a wool-pad, MV82 with a yellow foam pad.
Mr. Clarke using a yellow foam pad with #82 on a not-so-oxidized finish.
My assistant, Seth, checking out how the finish can look after 10 minutes of buffing. (if you look hard enough, you can see his reflection).
A shot of my hand to see if any reflection would show up in the badly oxidized surface.
Same spot, 5 minutes later, after using MV81 on a wool pad.
The next 3 are me using the buffer on the "brow" of the boat, you can see my reflection in them!
I can't thank the people at Meguiar's enough for helping me with all of this, and especially to Scott Clarke, who took a long day out of his busy schedule to come teach me how to make the most out of my detailing dollar. Thanks y'all!
