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!!

[@cooperlawrence4885]

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

[@mrfrank5757]

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.

[@Amddetailing]

Tnx my friend

[@curtishoward5584]

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.

[@Amddetailing]

Tnx my friend

[@maxly501]

I feel you, blending the clear is one pain in the ass. You have to sand everything

[@curtishoward5584]

@@maxly501 yessir it is. I just built 21 denali duramax black and it was a lot of sore finger tips. People have no idea how much work it is to rebuild n paint a car and make it look right.

[@dill5500]

Best way to get a perfect job on a resto is to cut and buff if you don’t it’s half assing a resto job

[@ONI1013.]

Actually don’t mind orange peel. It’s normal factory paint process when sprayed. And if there were any future body work needed, wouldn’t it be easier to match the paint and texture with the orange peel?

[@majorswiftarrow8092]

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

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

[@thimtra]

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

[@Amddetailing]

Tnx bro

[@touotaae86]

very nice video but in my opinion is wrong to grind with soft backing plate because as we know the orange peel is hills and valleys, to remove the orange peel you just need to get reed of the hills to make a new flat level on the valleys height, if you have a soft backing plate you giving form to the sand paper so you grind and the valleys too, and you will tell that finally you took a good result but in my opinion and behind a screen i believe that you took off more clear coat that needed to take a good result, please tell me your opinion on this. Sorry for my bad english Greek man here :P

[@Amddetailing]

the soft base works as well as the hard one with this type of paper, and it is used so that it does not leave traces of "pig tails"

[@touotaae86]

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

[@arleneandbobpaxton9003]

When hand sanding, what is the best way to tell if you have if you have sanded enough, but not too much when going from the 1500 grit to 2000 grit and then 3000 grit? It is easy to know when sanding with the 1500 grit is enough but I don't want to sand too much in the next two go arounds. I have been using a 3M compound but I still see scratches so I am thinking I need to sand more or change compounds. I don't know how thick the clear is and I don't want to sand more than necessary. Thank you for any comments you may have.

[@nickd.5171]

I have the same problem

[@KubaKuba-fz5lo]

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!

[@ConceptXX]

If it has etched to the base coat what are you gonna do? Nothing

[@strannikiRU]

[@anthonyconti1065]

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

[@glumdogtrillionaire]

This guy doesn’t paint, he’s a detailer.

[@andrewAssasin2003]

Echt primer, epoxy prime, hi fill, do body work repairs if needed, block down all panels flat, buzz 400 to get block scratches out, finish anywhere between 600-1000 grit, cover up any bare metal rub throughs which you may have got from sanding with 1k primer, clean the job blow off wax and grease remover and paint base coat and clear !

[@ginaerwin4865]

It's easy but not show quality as the clear will not be perfectly flat - use a block through all grits, takes more time but separates the pros from the amateurs

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

[@simonreeves2017]

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!

[@chrisduc1]

I think there is a risk in sanding down the orange peel on new cars, original painted. They have just 130- 150 newton of paint thickness ….. the remaining rest of material is not a lot anymore .although that it shines like a mirror ☝️☝️💥

[@suspensefulness]

question i think i like dry sanding.better than wet sanding ,for a fresh 48 hour paint when should dry sand and buff?

[@petreticu6008]

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!
