The 200-C will allow you to see the individual coats on the substrate, via ultrasound. The 6000 is what you were using to measure the total DFT of the entire coating system.

Would have been awesome to have seen the same stuff on the Mercedes "tank" that you did the other day to see the "mountains" where the paint was keyed.

@crys_o 10 жыл бұрын

The "geeked-out mac-book-lightpen thingy" is just a usb microscope. You can buy them online for about $30. They are great investment and excellent for investigating damage, checking your progress and comparing effectiveness of different compounds/polishes. You'll learn so much and improve a lot quicker when you get one of these, so I highly recommend them.

Color sand & buff are not an easy task, you learn with the time and practice, not with one video. This video teaches almost nothing, just present the benefit of using one soft sponge between the sandpaper and the DA. Just try it without previous experience and for sure you gonna make a mess, guaranteed. Honestly, be careful! one youtube video didn't teach you one complex technique.

since meguairs discontinued the unigrit discs, would you recommend the abranet soft mesh discs as their replacement? it seems that buffdaddy has them ranked highest among wet sanding discs. I'm assuming that trust should be put in them for that reason if its backed by the folks at buffdaddy.

I feel like this video is incomplete because Jason and you do not explain how to fix the orange peel scratch repair conundrum. I don't know what to do if you have to sand down a scratch on a car with orange peel. Will it just return after compounding and polishing or will it be permanently smooth in that scratch area?

@netguru598 5 жыл бұрын

Question, If you can sprayed over a scratch and the colour was slightly off, is it possible to use 1000 grit to remove all the newly sprayed area and possibly use old base coat residue from sanding to blend over the scratch, then wax whole area? Would this result in a uniform colour?

@BPoweredLove 3 жыл бұрын

3:50 Noob question. I hope I don't get flamed if this is a stupid question but if the process removes this much paint, then am I correct in assuming that you can only do this 2 maybe 3 times before you have to recoat the entire car? It seems to remove a lot.

Preserving and enhancing are different things. There is no way to paint correct paint that isnt there anymore. You can ceramic coat as suggested but that will preserve all the defects you cant compound out. You can try “scratch x” to mask some of the finer defects (so they advertise).

So what is best way of sanding your 2k primer application? Doing it dry meaning sand it dry. Or do I sand it wet? I love learning new things with respect to auto-body work...I took this vocational training trade during my time in high school. So I am always looking for new techniques on how to do this craft. I can't find all the adequate grits of sanding paper at my local auto body paint and supply store. Is there a link to a company that has everything materials wise and at reasonable prices to be shipped. I do my own work when I am not lazy lol I prep what needs to be done n then I get a shop to paint...

Everything makes sense, but what are the little white specks that are left? Also, why don't we start with sanding always instead of skipping it and going straight to the heavy-cut compound? I always wonder because sanding is so fast and effective but I always worry that it takes off more mils of clear than just doing the heavy cut. Thanks for your answer.

Plz PM me if that is more comfortable for you.

@chrismay1a 7 жыл бұрын

I started by just posting adds on craigslist and kijiji in my loacal area. not the best was only getting about 5 cars a week to do. but that was just free advertising. for dealerships I recommend you go in and talk with the general manager. You can use something like square so you can take credit cards, its free an easy to use and helps you keep track of numbers and profits, and they will let you build a site which you put your regular prices on. than you tell dealerships they can have a certain amount of discount per car depending on the amount of cars they have for you to clean. the more cars they have for you to clean the cheaper you do each detail for. I had it set up so I would do 2 dealership cars everyday, so no matter what I made at least 250 dollars every day ( and would work less than 8 hours), than when ever a customer would call I would set aside the dealership car and do the customers car, so some days I would make over 500 and on slow days when no customers called I would still make 250 per day, 7 days a week. but my house flooded than we moved houses and this new house my mom said I am not allowed to detail at so I'm stuck looking for a min wage job so I can save up and find a place I can detail.

I hope you see the logical flaw in your story. You were making minimum 5k a month, ($250 everyday) and now your mom said you can't detail cars at your new house.???

@rockefelleragent1357 6 жыл бұрын

You can use your bare eyes and fingers to examine the paint you can tell if the clear coat is thick or not. Paint you can't tell until you try risking it. Wet-sanding makes paint look real good but the downside is that you can only do a few times. After that the clear coat will be no more and the paint will be exposed. The downside to wet-sanding/buffing is that it reduces the protection from flying debris and you will very easily get paint chips as the clear coat is so thin as a result of wet-sanding and buffing. Doing this on the front bumper or hood of car will be most easily susceptible to chips damage. So if you gonna do the front you might as well wet-sand, apply touch-up for chips, and then clear coat the whole bumper or the hood that'll give you protection. Apply 3+ layers of clear for increased protection. You can then add clear bra on top of that. Wet-sanding would be good idea for the side, top, and rear of the car as the debris impact is minimal...
