How to overcome the fear of polishing! [Explanation and tips]

Do you secretly find polishing to be a thrilling craft in its own right? The fear of burning through the paint or accidentally causing damage keeps many car enthusiasts from taking their polishing machine out of the box on the attic. Such a waste! In this video, Tim and Johan help two of our customers, Marcel and Caglar, to overcome their fear of polishing. In the first round, after a short inspection, we let them get straight to work themselves on a test object that could use some love. This way, they can experience for themselves how the machine feels.
