How to achieve a super high gloss clear coat

Solution to get super high gloss on a clear coat that you applied yourself or on a clear coat strongly damaged. The gloss is obtained by wet sanding then polishing. A wax is then applied to protect the varnish.

For a drive-way job and not being fully prepped for this. I'm pretty happy with your results. Suggestion for those who try this, use a smaller sanding pad to help get more results and control around the corner and side of each panel and make sure to refine the sanding by going up to 3000 grit or 4000 grit before going to the next stage of cut polish.

Nice video. I’d absolutely start with nothing rougher than 1,000 grit, though. If anyone is nervous about polishing (maybe it’s your first time and you don’t want to burn through the finish), sanding up to 5,000 grit before polishing helps, and never wipe the panel down immediately after you polish. Give the clear a second to reset.

2,000 is minimum I’d say tbh. Especially with the cheaper clear coats the DIYers (like me) use. Always start smooth then if need be go rougher

@MOAB-UT 4 жыл бұрын

Looks much better but be sure to never wax fresh clear-coat and only use a microfiber towel to buff. I would definitely keep the speeds lower on that DA machine. Clear from a can will likely be very thin and if it wasn't baked/cured at mid-high temps, it is fairly weak so you will very quickly and easily burn right through it. Paint from the factory is baked at temps between 250-400F because the parts are OFF the car. Even a professional body-shop can't match those temps if the part is still on the car because other parts can't take high heat exposure (tires, electronics, etc.) That is why factory paint is usually superior.

I understand that some clear coats are trash specially if you spray out of a can. But if your going to spray out of a can atlease use a 2k clear coat. You gotta let the clear cure for about a week then you can start to wet sand with a 1500 grit. Using a sponge as a pad for your sand block. Then use 2000 grit finally use a 2500 grit. Then you can use a compound cutting from meguiars by using a buffer/polisher. Then use polish, wax, and finish wax.

End result il admit was spot on but the process was long winded. Realistically that same gloss can be achieved by 1500, 2000 (or 3m trizact 3000 disc is my choice) then compound then buff. The meguires paint correction shouldn't be needed and never wax fresh clear coat for the first 4 weeks after painting as you risk locking solvents in under the wax since they can't escape. This can destroy your paint as the clear gasses out solvents for up to 4 weeks. Cheers

I have managed to compile all the useful info I have gleaned from the comments of various vids on bodywork: Apply filler to any cracks etc in item. Sand item with 400 sandpaper. Spray some primer over item. 3 coats. Light coat. Wait 20 - 30 mins then another heavier coat, 30 mins wait then final coat. Wet sand with 600 wet and dry to ensure smooth finish pre painting. Let dry. Spray the item. 3 coats. Light coat. Wait 20 - 30 mins then another heavier coat, 30 mins wait then final coat. If desired, wet sand with 800 preferably by hand with sanding block and let dry. Apply clearcoat - preferably 2K. Minimum 3 coats. Not too light. Not too heavy. Allow ample time to dry (at least 24 hours) Wet sand the clearcoat with 2000/2500/3000/5000 by hand with sanding block (or just 3000 and 5000 if finish is already nice and smooth.) Be gentle. Rub with rubbing compound preferably with a machine but by hand if necessary. Be gentle. Buff off. Then apply a polish preferably with a machine. Buff. Wait a few weeks before applying wax to give the clearcoat time to release all chemicals. Wet sand eyeballs with 9000 grit sanding block so you can see clearer. When someone tells you you did something wrong, dry sand their head with 1 grit paper aka a rock.

This radical sanding might work on black, white, or basic solids, red, yellow or blue. But on a mixed color, especially a silver or gold hue, there is a very likely chance you will get a highlighted edge which is impossible to acceptably repair without repainting the area edge to edge. Easy on a fender, not so much on a door.

Did u use a dual action polisher for this or an orbital sander? And what speed setting

@zadeanrobinson1608 3 жыл бұрын

Too much sanding and that 800 grit was overkill.

correct, would not be using 800 grit for a start. 2000 will do it.

The technique is correct, but not well executed. Some will say 800 grit is too coarse, but sometimes you will use something as abrasive when the orange peel is severe. Some professionals will even start with 600 grit. You just need to make sure after the 600 or 800 grit, your next sanding is deep enough to remove the 600 / 800 scratches. Where he went wrong here is not sanding enough with the 1200 grit before moving on to a finer grit. And same error when moving from 1200 to 2500. When the scratches are still apparent after compound and polish, you will need to go back and sand again. You can compound for hours and the scratches may not come out. Polish will never remove those scratches. Just go back and sand. Any professional will notice the finish is still blurry and shows sanding marks on this finished product. After he's done, the reflection of the trees is blurry. From 9:23 to 9:31 look towards the right and left edges and you will see sanding scratches and even pits from the orange peel. It would be a shame if he left it like this, after all that effort painting.

You should learn how to adjust your gun to prevent orange peel. I hope this was done by a first time painter because no professional should have a finish that bad.

How long after a paint job can you wax doesn’t the paint need time to vent

@mikejoseph9798 3 жыл бұрын

Yes the paint needs at least 3 to 6 weeks to cure. If the car is always in shade or in a garage it would take longer to cure than if it were exposed to sun everyday

How long after spraying the last clear coat should you wait to do this?

@perjian1697 Жыл бұрын

If it's rattle can spray it will tell you on the directions the curing time. If it's a paint booth sprayed clear wait 30-60 days before sanding for best results. But can be done sooner just to improve a severe orange peel.

The car reflection was hazy after wetsand wipedown. But when you cut to the compound clip, the reflection was already clear before you did any compound. I didn't see where you fix the haze at in the video, it just was fix by the next clip.

@famousforever8556 6 жыл бұрын

duncan connors Without the compounds, you aren't getting anywhere near what he has achieved. It's definitely more than just orange peel (which occurs for more reasons than "shooting it dry"). Every step he took was necessary to clear out contaminants (dust), level the surface and make it shine without imperfections. You can do it your way, it all depends on the result you're looking to achieve.
