DENIM PADS OUT NOW : kandylandd.com

I painted cars for a living from the 70s to the late 80s. I'm now 71 with zero health issues and hopefully, that's encouragement to you painters out there. Supposedly when I painted cars, the isocyanates in Supermax catalyst for example were a serious health hazard. RM Supermax was pretty much bottom of the barrel compared with today's paints. I don't regret the years I painted cars because it's a creative occupation. You never get tired of looking at one of your amazing paint jobs.

This is definitely an advanced skill-level process, things can go wrong very quickly if you don't know what you are doing. CarPro Has had these pads out for a while and they work very well. They claim the Denim is equivalent to 2000 grit with a suitable compound. They also have a less aggressive "velvet" pad equivalent to 3000 grit. The wrong compound will also make things difficult, as it will dry and cake up. A spray bottle of water helps keep everything liquid and extends the cut/working time.

Been using denim pads for the last 5 years !!! Absolutely amazing !.

Thank you for sharing this! Ive detailed and painted cars for 35 years and just now learned about denim pads. Can't wait to try one out!

Thanks for the denim pad info. I have never used one, but will be shortly. Great tip.

OMG - amazing demonstration of the denim pad; thank you!

Man, this guy knows his stuff!

That Cutlass is gorgeous 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Found you from Samcrac, amazing work matching that corvette panel. Thanks for the tip on the denim pad turned out great

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Great work!!

Sent by Samcrac; staying because I'm new to paint work, and I'm excited to learn from you! When it comes to automotive work as a hobby, I'd say restoration is my favorite, so I'm looking forward to learning from you to expand my capabilities as a hobbyist. Thanks for showing this pad!

Thanks for teaching. We need more people like you

Heard of them but never used thanks for the practical demonstration 😊😊😊😊

Absolutely incredible again another killer paint job never heard of a Denham polishing pad until watching the video I am going to try the Denham pad great technical info.

Thank You for sharing!!! Never heard of those and am definitely going to get one...

Thats a great lesson of how to remove the orange peel. Thanks you very much.

Damn man! You have outdone yourself! Result it's amazing!!!

So glad to see you on you tube. Eric found ya last night on there. Wanted to say hi and love that you're still doing amazing !!

Thanks for the great educational material!

So glad I saw you on sam crac's channel! Awesome paint work and awesome videos 🙂

Great product, thanks for letting us know about it. The Cutlass 442 paint job was another level, color was perfect for the car.

I'm glad you pointed out the qualities of having some peel, I always strive for that glass-flat-look, never thought of it from your perspective. You definitely changed my perspective on this. At about 6:42 I can see the difference in the deck lid, and I will certainly be buying a denim pad. I like buffing, kinda weird, I know. For me it maximizes what I've accomplished. Next job, which is big and starts.....next week, gets some "tasteful peel". The 442, is anyone's dream, very awesome my man, very awesome.

My old Jean's have a new purpose 😊 Thank you for sharing this neat little tip 😁

Never heard of or seen anyone use one of these i will definitely find one for sure thanks

Great job helping out Sam with that corvette panel you done an amazing job .

Awesome! I am new to paint, and detailing. Great information!

I cant believe i never heard of this pad. Great info !

Very noticeable difference, great tip, ordering one.

That is a mint Olds. Love that style quarter panel on the convertible

That pad and those materials are amazing.

Im so glad this video popped up in my feed. Been doing this for 2 decades and ive never heard of this method, cant wait to try it. my boss seems to think that pinch back should never happen, even on tri-coats. I use a value clear so it happens alot.

That looks like a really good product. I'm glad there is an osren Australia, had to order me one thanks kandyman 🎉

Great tip I actually got a denim pad a few years ago and only tried it once but use it with the recommended compound never thought abut using 3M or something else. Have you used that pad with their recommended compound? They also have an orange pad as well.

I'm surprised to say that I had never heard of a denim pad until your video, and I have been pretty active in auto detailing for years so I feel like I should know about this! Great video! Going to give it a go on some future projects!

Amazing job KandyMan

Thanks for sharing! Never heard about the denim pad, so learned something new today.

Fellow painter here, and I couldn’t agree more, I prefer a really nice off the gun look, as to a full cut and polish job. Of course I’m ok with de nibing and some trizacking if need be. Looks great! 👍🏻

First time I've seen a denim pad will give that a go thanks for sharing 👍

Learn something new everyday. Hopefully i can teach someone something on my channel one day, Love it

Great tips and info 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This is the type of work I want from shops I don’t want it to perfect but it can get tricky with some people telling them that.

That's a gorgeous job and I've never heard of a denim pad

Such a perfect finish!

Love watching a master!

Dude great paint job …. I have been wanting to get rid of the factory orange peel on my for s while now.. great info

You are tha man i order 3 pads today beautiful video thanks so much will most definitely use

Man...thanks for vids like this. Your a huge help

Awesome never heard of using denim to remove orange peel and the like that's one I'll have to try thanks

Very outstanding job!! Beautiful paint job!

Yeah i see the difference when u move the cam up and down to compare.I just purchased 2 denium 6in pads to do on my car..thanks abunch.

Excellent tip thanks!Great Video!

Saw that Oldsmobile convertible on Samcrac. Gorgeous job. Wish you were closer to Kansas City.

Thanks for the tip. Hi from Réunion Island.

Saw you on Samcrac's video... Impressive work you're doing, keep it up

Thanks for this great info.

Just saw that recently. I have to remove some orange peel on my first spray. Glad this technique is kandy man approved. Thanks as always

Well that's a new one on me as well just like some of the others have mentioned but it does a great job on the nibs and peel, I love it when I learn something new even when it's just something simple but very useful🙏👍John UK

Awesome job !

Thanks Kandy Man. Great content in your video. You gained a new subscriber. I'll have to binge your channel videos!

I just found your channel. Good stuff. Subscribed!

I'll be ordering and trying this out soon. Thanks

Nice work, great explanation.

Leaving a comment for the algorithm. This video is very helpful, thank you

Great job!!!

This here pad looks awesome.

Great video I learned a lot

Very handy ! As many here stated, never heard of them before, and I've been in modern shops recently. But a quick google finds them here in Australia 6-1/2" dia and 1.5" thick. Definitely getting one (or 2) to keep on hand. I bet you have to watch the sharp edges though ! Edit - just ordered 3 today $18 ea, easy to find online.

Sam really came though for you ! subscriber count is going up good !!!!

Great tip for DIY. TY

Came from Sam's channel. Going to do a deep dive on your videos, already hooked!

Just purchased this denim pad set , GAME CHANGER! will buy another 2 sets to sit on, very impressed with the outcome thanks for the information! Great videos!

Great job man, greatings from Bruges Belgium

Good lesson. Much respect 👍

Great show

💎🏆😎 keep up the great work and this video 🙏🏾

Wow great video man. Awesome info thanks for the upload

Great alternative without having to wet sanding after painting it.

Came here cuz of samcrac... staying for the awesome tips! Thanks guys just cleaned up my '05 cbr600rr!

just got my car from body shop back and it has some orange peel in it, to much for my liking, so i want to try this pad out, should i do this asap or wait a couple months, they said not to polish or wax for the first 90 days as it can mess with the curing process.

Cool color!!!

Sent my samcrac: I've always wanted to learn how to paint sand and buff paint to that nice finish it once was. My car has some crazy orange peel so I'll be using these methods soon

I have heard of the denim pad. Had no idea how good it is. I do not do much polishing as I can get away with alot with the fleet vehicles.

Samcrac showed me this awesome channel. What a beautiful car.

i love these old oldsmobiles

Samcrac told me to follow you! BTW, beautiful color. That paint color is immaculate.

Looks amazing

Great finish awsome job

your a top notch painter

That’s a beautiful paint job, show winner for sure!

Great video, I learned something!

Here from Samcrac that paint scan setup is sick!

Thank you !!!!!

That is slick . Painted cars for 33 years never have seen that kind of pad . Where can i lay my hands on one ?

Kandyman can you me the equipment you wear in a spray booth to spray paint. Thanks

Saw you on SamCrac's channel. I live in tampa and may hit you up for some work on one of my cars. Cutlass looks awesome!

Knowledge, the denim pad, that part, 🔥 100% 🍷😎👍

I really like your videos. Now sometimes people want a factory single stage paint job. What’s your thoughts on using that pad on single stage?? . I hope you can reply

Wow. I never knew. Very cool.

You can't beat a buff job but if you can get it stright out the booth looking like is was buffed is satisfaction for me, tells me our prep was on point, i hate buffing, times i do if i run or sag
