Polishing A Classic Truck - A Polisher Named Sioux

To easily center a polishing pad, Makita provides a plastic tube that inserts into the backing plate. The polishing pad is then guided perfectly into place.

The orange Lake Country CCS pad with special German foam is for light cutting and scratch removal. To prevent scratching, never use a foam dry. Always prime it with Mothers Showtime before use.

After the Carnuba Cleaner Wax dries to a haze, using a Quick Detail towel to buff it off will bring the finish to a shine.

Again priming the foam first, Mothers Machine Glaze works great on a Lake Country black finessing pad. The closed cells reduce surface tension, and slow the rate of absorption. The CCS tiny pockets gradually release polish.

As a milder first step, Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax on an orange pad can be used before trying the rubbing compound to correct the paint’s finish.

The ultimate touch going beyond where most detailers stop is to use Lake Country’s Crimson ultra-fine finishing pad at 600 rpm to apply the final coat of wax. Allow wax to dry and then buff to a shine with Mothers Ultra Soft polishing cloth.

Check out the shine! Compaarable to German brand carnuba waxes selling for $50.00 an 8-ounce tin, Mothers pure carnuba wax uses carnuba from Brazil as well, but sells for much less.
