Car Detailing Delhi, Noida & Gurgaon – By Machine or by Hand

This is one aspect of car detailing which is up for debate all the time. In one camp are traditional car lovers who say that machines are far more aggressive than necessary for Car detailing and should be avoided or minimally used. In the other camp are New Age types who think that when something can be done faster and better using machines, then it should only be done that way.

The best road to take is the middle ground.

There are some steps which do require the care and time that application by hand can do justice to, while there are some steps which are better carried out with the help of machines.

Now, precisely which machines are we talking about. They are of course the big and bad Car Polishing Machines. There is a whole army of them – Orbital, Rotary, Dual Action, Small Backing Plates, High RPM, Low RPM etc and plenty of brand names like Meguiars(a recent entrant), Makita, Festool, Bosch, Dewalt to name a few.

For beginners, Rotary Polishers are a big No. They are noisy, aggressive and if used improperly can just cut through the base coat layer. Beginners are well advised to stick with a Low RPM Dual Action Polisher.

For Experienced Professionals Rotary Polishers are the 1^st choice followed closely by Orbital Polishers. They also happen to be the most effective is used properly.

Whether to use machines or to go in for hand application depends on three basic factors –

a)      Condition of the Paint of the Car

b)      Skill Level of the person carrying out the polishing process

c)       Products and Tools available

If a), b) and C) are all a resounding Yes in terms of Bad Paint Condition, High Skill Level and Great products and tools available then Rotary it is, maybe even Orbital can be looked at.

But if even one of a), b) or c) is not a resounding yes, then it is much safer to not use a heavy duty car polishing tool, remember these machines can go upto RPMs of 3000 to even 4000 in a few cases, speeds at which a very high degree of precision and skill is needed to use them.

You are far better using a very high quality Car Polish and Car Wax which have some degree of abrasive content, Believe you me, It is far easier to deal with a bad hand application job than a bad machine application job.
