Effectiveness: Hand polishing honestly is NOT as effective as machine polishing. In this case, hand polishing wouldn't work if you were on a strict timeframe or have a line of cars waiting to be detailed. Time: Hand polishing obviously takes a lot more time. More so, you enjoy working on your car, so why not take the extra time to work by hand?īudget Friendly: The thing about hand polishing? You don't have to buy your hands you already have them! So, instead of going out and dropping some dough on a polisher that could run anywhere from $150 to $750, you can work with a foam applicator for a dollar or two. But anyway, if you feel similar to Queen, then you want to take the extra car and attention to really work with your vehicle, giving it the delicate care, you feel it deserves. Not only are there spaces in strange areas that it is not beneficial to hold a polisher in, but you also have smaller panels where your hand will do a much better job than a machine.Ĭonnection: Okay, so this one may be silly and not everyone will feel this way, at least not like Queen when they wrote their song 'I'm in Love with My Car'. Gets the 'hard to reach' areas: Your hands can reach a lot of spaces a large polisher can't get. There is not a possibility of your applicator burning through the paint like with a polisher, for example.
There is far less possible damage to be hand working by hand than by machine. Safer: If you are new to detailing or working on a delicate car, a lot of people tend to feel safer working by hand.
#Wax machine for car professional#
And boy, if you are a professional detailer, there is no limit to the number of times you will find yourself polishing, waxing, or compounding. But if you are working on your daily driver, then it's going to be a question you have to answer more often. If you are just waxing your prized possession, you won't have to worry about this question too often. Not only that, but you have to remember who you are waxing for. You might not have to compound your car more than once a year, sure, but you could be polishing at least twice a year and find yourself waxing at least four times a year. Well sure, that's easy to say if you only had to polish/wax/compound once But is it just once? The answer is no. It may be easy right now to say, 'oh obviously I'm going to hand polish, it's more precise and I want my car to be perfect'.
How Often am I Going to Have to Ask This Question? One of the many questions any detailer will come to ask, should I polish (or wax or compound) this vehicle by hand or by machine? Do I want to use good ol' elbow grease? Do I want to use natural man (or wo-man) power? Or do I want to use a sturdy, powerful machine? Well, there are pros and cons to each of these options! And guess what? We are going to explain all of them!
