Machine Polishing

Machine Polishing — OCD Detailing Machine polishing is where paint correction actually happens — and where most mistakes are made. Choosing the wrong combination, working on paint that wasn't properly prepared, building too much heat, or simply not knowing how to read the result. It's a skill that takes time to develop, but understanding the fundamentals makes the learning curve significantly shorter. This category covers everything from how machine polishing actually works to choosing the right pad and compound combination, controlling heat, and getting a result that holds up under proper inspection. Whether you're picking up a machine for the first time or trying to understand why your results aren't consistent — this is where to start.
