Another banger! I didn’t know you could get as low as 1500 grit sand marks out with polishing. Thanks for this upload!

Thanks for sharing your incredible skills with us. 👍🏽

Amazing timing. Video came up at the same time i'm polishing motorcycle tail piece :)

Wow, truly amazing, i bet the camara still doesnt quite show how mind blowing it is in person.

I'm currently working on our subaru sti after a so called friend let it like a orange peel. I wish our paint corrected this quickly I'm a week in and now just going after the fine swirl marks hardest clear coat I have worked on 😂 Love the video you do btw dude helped us tones over the years

Awesome mate, what a great channel and fantastic thing to be doing!

Great information

Thanks. I noticed u used same compound to finish but with a finishing pad? Beautiful work by the way

C P Palm Sanders have. 10 mm & 5 mm as well as a 2.5 mm stroke sander that is ultra fine sanding that I use with 1500 grit sandpaper with a interface soft foam sanding pad then I polish with compounds and use a fill in glaze there used to be a product years ago called liquid ebeny it was black in colour and worked great best fill-in glaze I ever found really brought the color to life and even richined the color I haven't seen that glaze for close to 50 years but it was the best you could buy never had a swirl mark at all the color really came to life one it was polished and let's say the color was red and you used liquid ebony it was like the color became more true depth was outstanding I used to use it for a lot of acrylic laquer paint. . But like all good chemicals are taken off the markets just like Depont Imron polyurethane's the shine would last forever and never see a stone chip gas and oils would not touch it... More like an aircraft paint or boat paint they have it in the states but not in Canada but the formula has been changed its not the same just like epoxy primers today are crap ... Great job like the color & flake

Love your vids bro. Wish you had a branch in Perth!!!

Always love your work!! stunning as always, 1 of your long term subbies from s.a...if i was well enough ide come visit you could do my ba gt. its blood orange, needs the swirlies(spidey webs) removed and 2 tiney rock dings removed.now i think about it its been 10 years watching you get way good at your craftsmanship for years ive wanted to bring in 1 of my cars. Glad you keep just improving and share pretty much everything you learn.be safe, finger guns back at ya.ox

I've used my Porter Cable DA for years. I have that same exact microfiber pad you used on the DA, it's not bad. I tried the Amazon SPTA purple wool pads recently and they blow away the Meguairs red, Menzerna red, Lakewood Heavy Cut Foam and even the Lakewood microfiber. Durability isn’t as good at the others though. I tried compounds like Presta, Menzerna Ultra Cutting, Poorboys SS1 & SSR2 with all of them. I just ordered a Lakewood Purple wool pad to try out tomorrow. Maybe I need to try some of that 3D or invest in a rotary also!

Awesome outcome! Thanks for sharing

Used to use megs 105 and 205 years ago found them reasonably good as an amateur but just upgraded to new bayt 1 step and it is a very good product with a foam pad for 1500 and finer

Great rundown. Totally concur with your approach. That 3D is great stuff. I’ve also had a lot of success with Meguiar’s M110 (newer than M105), as well as Griot’s Fast Correction Cream (which might not be available to you). A lot of the outcomes have to do with the pad you choose. A high-quality microfiber pad (like Meg’s) or even a wool pad and a rotary will cut really fast. Any of the aforementioned compounds do well with dusting, but 3D is easily the best in that arena. 3D One is excellent for the finishing stage, but takes a while. The sanding stage is where I think the real make-or-break of the effort is. Getting that wrong will make polishing 10X harder to save. Anyhow, you said all of that, but I just thought I’d second all of it from across the water.

Hi mate love your work I’m struggling with my finish no mater what I do I’m always getting scratches with my final product useing trzact 2000 finishing with 5000 cheers

Impressive, very nice.

It's hard to tell if it actually works because some of the polish will fall into the scratches making them look gone

Why didn't you use the DA to sand, why did you use a pneumatic air tool to do the sanding?

Meguiars MF pads are great and da will work.. You can then use 210 or Menzerna 3800 plus water..

I want to know if after this method he needs to spray a protection layer again or the pre-existing layer is enough

Try it with 1500 3M Freecut sand paper..like the old school way before. Velcro discs and Kovax paper

For those who don't know, K1500 grit is finer(?) metric grit than the standard P1500 paper...or visa versa. Don know exactly what the difference are between the P & K

if on a budget can I use a 6" Orbital sander with pads and polish to polish Harley gas tank and fenders?

I also sand fresh paint and use 3D 510 with a DA. The guy who sells me my compounds asked why i dont use a rotary since it cuts better. I told him the DA cuts better, and he told me its because of the thin pad, and that the big wool pad sucks up more product, and if i use more product on the wool pad it will cut better than the DA. What do you think?

What brand is the rotary machine and what size pads are on it

Good work finger guns! 👈 👉

next time use a wool pad on the DA - (I use both DA/RO)

A da disc is double of wet and dry paper though so that's 3000 grit wet and dry

Hi I'm new to learning spraying and bodywork. And was wondering I no it might sound a bit of an odd question but do you have a paint code on the colour on this bonnet at all please I'll like to try it out while I'm learning from home. Enjoy watching the footage on each episode as well thanks

Hey is that a 4 or 5 inch backing plate ?

3d is the best on the market way better than 3m and it originated here in Canadayouu would never get that result from 3d

Rotary is king

Is the polisher direct drive ?or does have a clutch system?

You need to make a close up in a spotlight on the clear coat. 1500p is to heavy to polish inmidiate. You record to far away of the clear Surface. I Apost to many pig tail on the clear coat surface. I like to see a second part of this. Greetings ;)

offcourese you can. 21mm da with 5" corrects better than rotary.

Kovax 1500 leave much finer scratch then other 1500 brand sand paper.

Looks good, but would the scratches comeback once the wax clears off ? If I can buff over 1500 I would do it in heartbeat.

Those products available in NZ? Where can purchase?

Great info. What grit would the compound be equivalent to? I'm guessing that would depend on the pad and the pressure applied. I'm also curious as to how compound polishing compares to wet sanding with very fine grits. Say 3000 and finer. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method?

Are you live streaming the sessions?

What color is the paint

What is that Colour it looks great

Nothing cuts faster or better than a wool pad on a rotary. Nothing

you wear a bonnet on your head, right?

where can i buy the kovax paper ?

It’s not a bonnet mate, it’s a hood 😜, look’s great though!

It wouldn’t work on OEM paint tho would it, OEM is much tougher and a DA mop wouldn’t touch 1500 scratches even dry flatted, wet flat with 1500 and there’s no chance what-so-ever …….

Looks like you just painted it.

Oooh...that made me cringe seeing you sand that paint.

Amazing skill ur the best 👍👍👍 I love watching ur channel hope we're frnds someday..

Dude makes me cringe when he says Roops instead of roo-pez...
