If you do this one thing you can save alot of money and be a happy camper! Now make My Friend Pete happy and get some merchandise above this comment... Thanks for the support and comments!

Much simpler this way! Thanks! Seems like Pete didn’t get angry until Minnie showed up. She only corrected him since he said “1000” but she was right that he meant “1500”. It’s a lot of work to get along.

Thanks to you and Minnie for taking the time and effort to create the videos. I have learned a ton and have had fun doing it. It is great when I can laugh and learn at the same time. Semper Fi, USMC.

Wanted to say one more time. Your videos make a difference!!! Can't thank you enough. Thank you my friend pete.

Pete, the amazing Pete, my friend Pete, you are one in a million and we do appreciate your excellent hard work and your tutorials, thank you sir.

Pete love you tutorials you teach us so much and I really have learned the proper way of restoring my wife's dads car who sadly passed away last year I'm watching you from Ireland can't wait to see more of your videos thanks pete for spending your time showing me and other people your knowledge

Great vid. Best of both worlds. Doing it right while saving money. I came across your page little over a year ago and gave me insight and knowledge to start my on restore of my 65 c10. Keep up the great work on these vids. I'm definitely taken notes

I love those 3m polishing pads. I use the 3000 and 5000 even at times. One of the best things i use

Pete had me at “ bull narky “

Great video Pete. I was a bodyman for twenty years and quit in 1996. I can't count the hours I spent buffing in the old days. It sure would of been nice to have those pads. As an ex bodyman I love your videos. You do things things the old school way but are smart enough to try something new like those pads. Keep up the good work!

3m says the same thing about the perfect it rubbing compound. When you really only need the pefect it 3 if you finish with 3000. I use 2000 by hand then 3000 and an orbital polisher. Once i used an orbital polisher properly i will never go back to rotary buffer. Great video brother.

This car is amazing. You did it Pete!

good video video Pete My Friend Pete been missing your videos must be busy. Good luck on moving to Moab, Utah hope we get some more videos soon!

I love those 3m pads makes it look like glass a real time saver

Valuable learning, great teaching and experience

Looks good, my friend Pete.

some really great advice and learning.

Awesome job Pete.

Looking good Pete!

I’ve saw people use a hundred steps to get the same results you got because 3m said they had to, common sense goes a long way in life, keep em coming, learning some shit from your videos

Like your no B.S. attitude,learned alot from you thanks.

Just the video I was getting ready to search for.

great video!! way to go pete. much nicer to watch without all the cursing. thank you.

The best of the Best!!

I've been in the body work business for over 30 yrs,buffing cars the old fashioned way, found out about this 3000 DA system 2 yrs ago.Wish I knew about this 15 yrs ago.

Thanks for your help I was using the wrong Da sander for the 3000

You are a legend , learned a lot from your videos which i could not here in Melboune

Saved my week sir. I Appreciate it.

I've turned many paint jobs around with this 3m method

good working ,peter very good

Great video Pete

Great video. Back in the day, cutting the finish 2K coat with a sponge pad and cutting compound reduced the gloss of the final coat. The finish was better when you bumped up the pressure on the gun and painted the panel where it was flat without orange peel and just left it. Swirl marks were avoided by using a cutting compound without any Ammonia. Technology has come a long way.

Yep those 3000 trizact pads work.

Hey pete, i was d a sanding with 2000 first then 3000 and mop back in 2002 works well and very quick cheers pete

I found those electric D/A variable speed w/ 6 in pad at Harbor Frt. for under 60 bucks. later, bill in w mich

Thanks for the great know how experience in all of you vids. I'm your age and like your old school work ethic. A rare breed these days!

Hey Pete, What model # is that Hutchins sander? I'm looking to get a replacement. Thank you very much for your time in putting out awesome videos! (Diana, Texas.)

Ive used those wool pads after 3000 sanding it seems I still get swirling that pops up down the road that I have to correct with a foam pad. Maybe im using the wrong wool pad or being to aggressive with it when im buffing. Looks great Pete!!!!

Your the best!!!

Damn my friend Pete!!!! What a tip cause I've always went in steps .just because it said to. I trust in what you say. I've noticed that when I bitch and holler. The job is better but my wife left me. Damn wish I would've learned that sooner . I mean I sure miss her

Love the car pete

Hey Pete, I use 3000 and 5000. And it would great.

Great DIY, what brand polisher are you using to buff?

Love the videos. Where were you stationed. Navy veteran here. U.S..S Harry E.Yarnell.CG-17. 1978/ 1982.

hey Pete ( My Friend Pete ) Thanks for another great video. I am looking for a short throw DA sander after watching your video with no luck. what is the model of the one you are using in the video?

Hello. Good videos. What kind of da sander is that? I will get one of those! Thanks

Great tutorial but like Minnie said you did say use 1500 not 1000 then onto 3000.... you said it in the beginning when talking about the sanding pad with the holes in it. Either way you do really nice work and am a subscriber

Another👍🎥

nice

The trouble with 3M products is you can't find anything bad to say about them. I've used their stuff for 30+ years and have never thought to myself that was crap, expensive yes but you sure get what you pay for.

Excellent, Which compound is that? is it 3m glazing or 3m perfect it compound? cheers

How come you don't wash off the sand sludge before buffing??Thanks

Question Hard to find "short Throw sanders " when I google. but see some mentioned as 5 mm throw, What make sander do you use so I can see what the throw is/ Thx

Pete my friend Pete, not to question your expertise but should you clear the slurry from the car before applying compound?

Pete so you only use 1 compound no swirl remover?

How long should you wate after you paint your car before you cut an buff it

Nice vijeo

Pete my friend Pete, perhaps I spoke to soon looks awesome. Watch, listen and learn!

is that a 10" pad as well?

Is he buffing the paint or taking out his vengeance on the customer?? Lol Pete

What is the brand of the DA sander using for sanding with 3000 grit sand paper?

hey pete utube doesnt notify me anymore wtf?? good 2 see you .

waffle face double sided flex sanding block where do I get one???

Hello Pete and Mini i enjoy your videos. i have a 1972 ss blue original paint car. how would you recomend polishing it,the paint is in great condition i just dont want to remove any paint if i dont have to. thank you

Hey Pete. Lots of respect from me. Question. You say plain clean water when sanding but lots of other people uses a few drops of dish soap in the water. Would you recomend that or not? Does it contaminate the surface. Love your videos. I have learned alot.

Hey Sir, do you think I should use a single stage paint or could I do a base and clear coat on a semi truck. I have never painted a vehicle before and plan on doing truck in sections. Painting will be completed outside in the yard. Watching your videos and trying to learn. Thanks for helpful shows.

Hey Pete I know you dont like to endorse items but whats the model # of the Palm sander ? Thanks

What do you recommend I do IF my vehicle has all the windows and engine in it? Should I just tape them off or what? And how many times do you go over with the buffer?

I've always wondered why they called it color sanding when you are sanding the clear coat. Is it a leftover from the days of single stage paint jobs?

I might have missed this, What is the name and model of your da sander ???????

I noticed that you didn't wash the GTO after polishing with the 3000 polishing pad and was wondering if there is a chance of getting fine scratches or is there no grit in the removed clear.

That's the way to do it

Hey Pete I even have some 12,000 grit d/a paper, that's probably to fine? Right or wrong?

I will!

Pete do you find that the DA sanding leaves the finish slightly grainy versus the hand sanding? I'm talking about after it is buffed out using each method.

I wetsanded my freshly painted clearcoat with a da sander 2000 grit. I made sure the pad and the paint was very clean, but still i get pigtails in the clearcoat after i sanded it. How come?

How do you handle the edges with the da and sliding back and forth on it

Whatha hell did I miss? You got Maxwell back?

👍

Why do the Polish People get credit for these Pads?

Pete, is the merchandise on teespring legit?

Its all designed to blow your mind

Hay Pet Have you moved yet. Because this is still from the old days. Last time I checked you were moving. What's your latest in 2020 in your new place.

Hey my friend Pete, what is your opinion on water based paint?

Never said how many disk were needed ?

I go 800 grit with a Durablock hard block get it flat flat Then 1500 3000 and 8000. The 8000 you can make sure the peal is super flat. When you dry the panel with 8000 you will go wow lol. 8000 shit with no compound yes but after the car gets wet and drys it will look like shit. My buddy wet sands shit with 1000 and get on it with Super Duty. We All got our ways. My shit gets a block every step. One spec of dirt on that DA you will get pig tails . I got a Rubix orbital buffer Now.

Snap on

Damn, ive been watching you for years. The reason, is your knowledge and i believed you were teaching to pass it on. Which in turn would make you one of the best. Master status. Yet, now im thinking i was taught by the guy at the local mechanic shop. Instead of one of the best. 14:45 and 15:15. Can you explain why you seem to be owned by 3m. As in, making a video only to advertise. If thats the case, you're selling. Salesmen will teach wrong to make a buck. I can understand that. If so, I'll keep looking for the best. I apologize. But thats how i feel

I tried to explain "shrinkage" to her but, she didn't buy into it.

don't think I would go from a 800 grit to the 3000

I'm baffled ... how do the Car manufactures get such amazing results? They don't buff shit?

2 wheeks in the sun and the same shit

wax on wax off

You're a veteran In the paint and body World. Why in the hell would you call it Color sand and buff????? You're not sending any color you're working on the clear side. That absolutely bugs the hell out of me. Your friend Carmine Lucchese... How's it going My friend Pete?

That looks like a dynabrade sander...that paint didn't look that good when it left the plant..

Trump 2020!!!

Question Please Pete.. On lambswool machine may i ask Why 1500 rpm ..we're used to 3000 Rpm in oz.. I DONT mean further polishing with DA's n waxes etc.. We were taught 3K generates heat quicker to give faster finishes..???

👍
