Well, if anyone's still not pursuaded by the benefits of wet-sanding then they never will. The ridiculous level of improvement in smoothness and reflectivity from the original orange-peel laden bumper is beyond words. Absolutely amazing result. I learn a lot from your videos PoV and this is another one to add to the armoury of knowledge. Cheers!

Agreed

@user-rf5nq6fw2m 2 ай бұрын

Too scary to take too much clear coat off if you don't have a lot to begin with, they're expensive and time consuming to reclear, tape up entire car again, etc. Sometimes even 2000 sandpaper takes off a lot. I guess sandpapers are all different by different brands.

@roymoxley2587 25 күн бұрын

Damn right wet sanding is the only technique to get that show finish and of coarse the polishing after , I always put a little soap in my water

@JamesTheRealSpeaker3.0_ 4 күн бұрын

I painted my car last weekend and made sure I laid down an extra coat of clear. Makes wetsanding much easier without burning through. I was able to start with 800 grit, then 1200, 1500, 2000, then a machine sand with 3000 grit.

Cheers, ive been struggling with trying to find a cutting compound that actually tells u what grit sand paper to use prior to the polish (rather than marketing shite) and knowing how much time to spend on each section with the polisher. U cleared it all up and im off to buy stuff and then re-polish a car I bought a week ago.

Thing is, people are afraid to do this, as putting sandpaper - even high-grit wet sandpaper - to a car's paint freaks people out. But your video is so detailed, it gives me the confidence to at least try it. Very well done!

@mattiagri Ай бұрын

Tried it last weekend on my car's tailgate (it was resprayed by the previous owner)... Came out like a mirror and now I have to proceed on the whole car because I love the finishing, that is better than the original paint one. One important thing: if you don't have a VERY aggressive polishing compound, the first pass with the buffing machine will disappoint you. After the initial panic, you can simply try with another pass. And another one. Very time consuming process, but very effective at the end!

Use a hybrid silkwool pad at speed setting 1 and u can cut that 1500 grit sanding right up. You dont want heat or pressure when cutting or polishing today's clearcoat. Laquer paint from years ago, you would benefit from heat during polishing. Friction and abrasives are the only factors in polishing now

That video was great thanks..just did a new panel on an audi. First attempt at flatting used 2000, 3000 then G360 then AutoGlym super resin Polish but still a haze. Watching this looks like I didn't cut the peel deep enough to start. Can I just restart and cut again with 1500 now though? Kept getting dry circles with the G360 using my cheapish DA. Any advice would be great. One thing missing was when reloading pad, do you have to clean between adding more product, if so how? DIYer @ home. Thanks for the video was great 👍👌

@stebrad123 Жыл бұрын

Excellent watching you do this. I've just bought a new car and there's some minor swirl marks in the topcoat. Just to get rid of swirl marks would you recommend using the G360 or if they are light swirls would you try just seeing if they'd buff out with polish/polishing pad first ? I've watched some of your stone repair videos too. Really excellent advice. I got rid of them totally
