What would be the updated insight for hand polishing today?
Hi Mike,
Exhausted on day 3 of the class. I am proficient with any polisher now, brand doesnt matter. Learned the finesse of a random orbit, reverse pad rotation, or get the job done faster with a forced rotation and forced oscillation tool. Before the class I struggled with polishing. Cars...

I have a small tractor for the yard. "Daddy, can we dig another hole in the...
Using the surface tension of water and the garden hose is a technique I've been experimenting with. I've noticed slowing down the hose movement to keep the water tension intact on the stream edges makes a difference. I suspect using a pitcher to deliver a higher water volume may play a role in...
If it's a maintenance wash on a protected vehicle I use DI water and leverage surface tension of water to get rid of most the standing water. I use a cut off garden hose and a gentle stream of water, surface tension pulls most the water away. Electric leaf blower for a few water drops/rims...
The benefit of a forced oscillation/forced rotation Flex polisher Beast/Supa beast/Cbeast is the ability to work a larger area faster as you have described. Combine with an AIO for production detailing!
I have used the Cbeast but don't own one yet. I have the Flex cordless rotary and cordless...
