Wait, this isn't how you peel an orange...

I’ve been painting and restoring vehicles for more than 40 years. I typically will wet sand the surface and have a bit of dish soap in the water. I don’t use DAs due to the circular pattern it leaves in the surface. Everything from body work to finish is done with blocks to insure a straight perfect surface. Cross hatch sanding for body work, straight line sanding for paint…although this person is extremely skilled and the results show!!

I did a DIY job on my car, had some orange peel. Found this video, followed it step by step and got that almost pro finish. Big ups to this gent

As a 25yrs paint and collision repair expert this fella knows his paint finishes and how to get the best from it. Although factory paint on most cars has a little texture “orange peel”. So I have to match that. But many times I have had to buff all of it out and making it mirror finish on restorations I’ve done. It’s a lot of work.

Excellent and unbelievable! What a sharp look of the piano black surface! An amazing and nice job done.

You have made me so much better at my job. Thank you

I would love to see a video of you showing the full process of bare metal, then primer , then base coat and clear coat … with all of the sanding steps. I think it would help people to understand more of what it takes to get a nice finish like you produce. Thanks ! And thank you for sharing your knowledge

It took me 6 videos to find one that looked correct. Thank you sir.

Looks absolutly brilliant

I usually flat down the paint by wet sanding but how you do it looks so much easier! Well done 😃

Wow, i never thought about cleaning the sand paper i have always grapped a new one, this probally saves so much paper

Congratulations! Perfect! Thanks for sharing your video to us!!! I now can apply your teachings for my own car! Many thanks again! From Ph.

Awesome results. As a DIYer, I don’t expect that level of perfection. I hope to at least benefit from the products and technique you demonstrated.

That looks awesome!!! I am going to get me same tools as soon as possible

Super video! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful job. Well done sir.

Great work mate! Well done, keep doing this!

i have the kovax paper but that compound is a different level. just ordered some and the fine 10 cut aswell. good job making these videos

I used to remove orange peel, but I usually use 2 or 3 step to get this result. Maybe I'll try your way to get more efficient. Thanks a lot

Those Kovax sandpapers are awesome, so much faster cut.

Thank you. This video was very helpful. I was wondering which selections to make for the project I am doing. Was thinking right along the lines of the sandpaper types and grits you used. The only difference is my project is wood not metal. Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly.

Awesome job, great technique!

omg thank you for this video... learned today that the texture of my Nissan Sentra has orange peel finish....

Great job! Well done.

Hi, greetings from the U.K. I’ve never been brave enough to sand clear coat with a power sander, by hand and doing it wet. However, it still amazes me how effective sanding clear coat is at producing amazing results. It seems so counter intuitive to sand your car, but wow, it works just great - if you educate yourself first!

Incredible results no words needed subscribed

That's showroom quality. Nice work!

Wow great video I want to do my truck so bad but been scared to think I’m gonna give it a go

Magic pal that was brilliant.

Amazing work, thanks for share !

This guy knows his stuff i can tell his highly skilled because im a polisher by trade ❤

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AND BEAUTIFUL.

Svaka cast na radu i hvala na detaljima! Uvek ima nesto novo da se nauci. Cuo sam pre par nedelja da su Mirka 650 masine odlicne i ovaj video je to zakljucio. Sad sam narucio i sebi jednu pa da vidimo kako se uporedi na Rupes Skorpio 9mm :)

That's amazing work!

A master work from a master🤩🏆🔥🔥..I would like to see a true work from start too finish with a rotary machine 😊

Looks amazing.

Very nice work sir 👍👍👍

Brate zadovoljstvo je gledati! 👌👌👌

That looks amazing, I always wanted to try wool pads on my dewalt da polisher. Does wool have more chance of paint burn out than foam?

excellent work

Great video again💪🏼

amazing workk !

Nice work brother

Great work!

Excellent results with the compound. The Ewo side looked slightly better.

Great work. Been watching your videos for a long time now. So I'm right to say Send Then compound Then polish

Been custom painting for over 30yrs and I polish metal this is amazing

Ooooooh my friend. Like automatically. 👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you for your great video. You are like Big Brother and Teacher. Keep going. Waiting for new video 🙏😇.

Einfach super schön gemacht 😘😘

result is a masterpiece. wow very impressive 👍

Pozdrav druze, pre svega svaka cast na radu! Imam jedno pitanje, posto rucno radim smirglanje pri poliranju i koristim uvek vodenu smirglu, da li mogu iste efekte postici vodenom smirglom (sa ili bez kvasenja i koju granulaciju bi mi preporucio)?

Awesome!!!

Which Mirka pad? Twisted acrylic or the twisted wool? Also, was the Rupes a Random orbital or Polisher?

Is this for the paint it's self your do you sand the clear coat?

В приближении просто космос😍

Question, is this technique used on enamel/with hardener?

Excellent and smart work. I will give it a try. Traditional wet sanding will take a lot of time for sanding and polishing. My question is how it works for ceramic clear hard clear coats.

great job perfect

Amazing work! I have a quiestion: If i sand with a 8 mm da instead of a sander on speed 1, will it do the job? I ask because i dont have a sander and i bough a soft backing plate and some 1500 and 2000 sand paper! I want to try this but i want to make sure i dont mess up! Thanks in advance and keep up with the amazing work!

Nice job 👏

Fantástico trabajo cómo siempre. Muy bien explicado. Creo que me gusta más el acabado de lana ewocar. Después del paso de corte (rupes 21 + ewocar fast cutting) no usas un paso final de acabado (rupes 21 + ewocar fine cut + ewocar red sponge)? Muchas gracias por tus vídeos.

Outstanding! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Greetings from Brazil!

Phenomenal 💫

How long does the cutting compound last in the paint? Does it wash out over time with car washes?

The Best Regards Bro! Like always amazing 💪😍🤝💯

I love this. No annoying blather. Just here is how via captions.

Impressive indeed!

What kind of equipment you use for sanding? I want to diy my own car pls help me what should i buy. I need a guide what kind of sanding machine to buy or brand, vacuum, etc

can you use this method to remove tree sap damage to paint work ?

Is there a set amount of time the clearcoat need to dry before dry sanding. The guy who did a horrible job painting my cummins is saying it need to cure for 2 weeks before h will touch it. Thanks

Muito top !! Excelente!! 👏👏👏

Superb most helpful sir 🙂

Quedo espejando. Espetacular el trabajo y los compuestos diferenciados.

I would like to see how do You deal with burned in bugs on a front bumper, hood and mirror caps. I have problem with returning bug etchings after polishing sometimes. I do polish them out or even sand them and after ipa wipe down or heating a panel the etchings are back. It happens rarely but it is a problem that i cannot resolve. Have You ever had this problem? I am professional detailer for 7 years now and Your videos helped mi a lot with some issues. Thank You for Your time doing this great videos!

How do you manage stopped?? Corner to not pass trough the coat?

Superb bhai

Excellent video!!!

Would using hand (no buffing tool ) work ?

How many speeds on the mirka and what speed do you sand at?

Hello white paint can follow the same way ?

What about the clear coat does it need one?

Looks good. The second one looked better

this is why you always open the door for the lady's, so they dont scratch your paint

Where can I get that compound and polish! I've been doing it for years and was squeezing my phone watching the dry sand till I continued to watch. EXCELLENT job my friend. 👏👊

Legend❤

So the final compound was hard cuts?

Is this method works for semi less orange peel?

Great job buddy ...I'm jealous....

Was that the Mirka 5mm or 2.5mm sander?

Love to see what you could do with a run

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! Do you have any reliable online source where to buy Kovax discs?

Wow! This is pure art! So the finishing part is always with a wool pad and cut compound?

After you’ve done 2000 sanding, is using a DA okay? A lot of people advocate using a rotary, I don’t want to get that far and my LHR21 doesn’t do the job.. Thanks

Moze li informacija gdje uzimas kovax papire ? I da li drzis obuku o poliranju ? Svaki video je super !

I did buffing on a sanded panel but the haze reappears after a wash. Any suggestions?

Fantastic 👌👌👌👌👌

What type of heavy cut do you use after buflex? We also use Kovax assilex buflex. And do you still polish after compounding?

Wich is better mirka 2,5mm sander or the 5mm?

Very Impressive

which is best? Ewocar wool, and Milka wool?
