When to Polish vs Compound vs Wetsand

I'm here almost a year later and just watching this video for the first time. I can't agree with the OP enough, and I'm just as grateful and blown away as he was. And for every person who says so in the comments, there must be 10's (100's...? 1,000's...?) who feel the same way as well. All I can do is think "thank you!" for such a great video each time I watch a new one and learn from it. These are some of the best anywhere, for sure.

What an excellent video. I am grateful for the explanation, I learned something new and usefull. Thank you.

[@johnnywad5]

This is the benchmark of what a tutorial should be. Its as scientific as car detailing gets. Well done and thank you!

[@Can8ian.]

I detail cars at a used car dealership and this was a very well done tutorial. You explained very well the differences between wet sanding, cutting(compound) and polishing. A trick I learned to tell if the clear coat is thin is to use a laser pointer. Shine the laser at the paint (at 90 degrees) and if the clear is thick, you will see a glow in the clear coat around the laser dot, if you see no glow, the clear coat is very thin. My boss is too cheap to buy a paint thickness gauge so I had to come up with an alternative to prevent the inevitable burning through thin clear.

I’ve been researching this whole subject for weeks, and was really confused. This video was just fantastic, and I loved the way that you were actually teaching what we should look for, and how to respond to what we find. Most videos simply record a process, which actually tells you very little. Very well done to all involved. A MUST WATCH.

[@fireandmugs6712]

You, my friend are THE authority on detailing. Using your videos and advice, I've restored my parents' 15 year old SUV to a better shine than it had the day they bought it; I bought a car I always wanted (it was 10 years old at the time, and was a bit beat up) - and I made it look better than new; and now I'm starting up a side business where I fix minor scratches, swirls and paint defects for many of my coworkers (who are really rich and tend to drive Porsches and S-Classes). So thank you Larry - you truly are a valuable resource, and a staple in the detailing community.

[@jefffranzino8848]

Fire And Mugs - Be careful, if you go too deep on the clear coat you will have to pay to get a Porsche or S class repainted $$$$, unless you get insurance for your detailing business like Larry and most of the other pro detailers have.

Can't thank you enough for this brilliant video. I tried some 3000 grit on some minor scratches on my car today and it worked a treat as opposed to only using compound. I have to admit, those sandning marks that you get from wet-sanding were very concerning, as you said. But the subsequent compounding got rid of them, easy peasy. Long story short, this video was crazy helpful. Kudos.

[@adroitus]

I tried to find a nice GS430 recently, they're not that common.

[@lexusls]

David Keeth a 04-06 LS430 with “euro tuned sport suspension” (NOT the air suspension in “sport” mode) is very close to what a GS430 is like. It’s a little bigger and heavier but same engine and transmission as the GS430. I’ve owned an 04 LS with sport suspension for 4 1/2 years and it is hands-down the best car I’ve ever owned. Outrageously comfortable, smooth, luxurious, and crazy reliable. The sport suspension is the perfect compromise of slightly stiffened suspension to reduced body roll/squatting/nose-diving for more ‘sporty’ handling while maintaining a softer/compliant ride. Unfortunately LS430s with sport suspension aren’t super common either, and most dealers/people selling them don’t list it in the ad because they don’t know the car has it. Other than looking up the VIN, the only way to tell if an LS has it is to look for a very small subtle badge on the front fenders between the front tires and the front doors

[@angelicaamora11]

Facts

[@danielgs1994]

Let me start with saying your video and explanation solved exactly what I needed to know, to the very specific point. Before I was absolutely confused about the differences and I’ve spent a couple hours looking into a few videos to get a better understanding of the differences of material, no one, and let me repeat it, NO ONE explained it the way you did. This is what I like, facts, science, demonstration. The passion you have is admirable. THANK YOU!

[@homann638]

By far the best paint detailing video. Question: if we want to get rid of the stone chips, should we do touch ups before polish/compound or is it better to do polish/compound first and then do touch ups for whats left as visible marks?

[@angelicaamora11]

I think chrisfix has a video about that. But i also believe that touch up first after anything.. some situations they'll put clear coat too then polish

[@iam1smiley1]

It depends! If you're using one step touch up paint from automotive store, do it after polishing. Make sure it's thinned out well and carefully put it on with a paint brush with about 6 hairs inside the borders of the damaged area. If you're using real base/clear in a bodyshop environment, you can do touch up first, wet sand it down and have an almost invisible fix at times. -34 year's polishing experience

[@kennyrichard1167]

Larry if you ever want a real challenge I bought a 1999 BMW 528i: it’s black. Someone has DESTROYED the paint and there are chunks of sap all over the top of the car and it has sat there long enough to solidify into a very hard substance. I live in Illinois and if you ever need a demo vehicle I am here for you.

[@thejoetandy]

ringenberg2 as crazy as this sounds, gel hand sanitiser works great on sap. The emulsifiers will give the alcohol more time to dissolve the sap.

[@chrisjackson9102]

Before going to chemicals, try starting with the hottest water you can stand and dish soap. I know I know, never use dish soap, but this is an exception because you are trying to strip. If that doesn't work, move to your solvents. You have to wash it first anyway. I used to have to park under a tree that would "spray" sap about 2 weeks out of the year. The Dawn treatment worked for me. Of course your results may vary, based on any number of factors, including what kind of tree. @aboveaveragejoeaus:. Good tip on the hand sanitizer, I will remember that for next time. I always used mineral spirits for things like road tar, but the sanitizer is easier and probably closer at hand.

When your referring to paint thickness there’s no way that there’s 5/6mm of paint on that car so it may be worth explaining to your viewers that paint is measured in microns , correct me if I’m wrong .

@@ZboeC5 Well, most of the rest of the world DOES measure paint thickness in microns. Why wouldn't that make sense? It's just another number, so paint would be +/- 100 microns thick.

@ Took me forever to get this... So his gauge is measuring in mils (which TIL is thousandths of an inch) and 4 thousandths of an inch is equal to about 100 microns or 0.1 mm? If so, this makes way more sense. Was sitting here think no way in hell theres 5mm of paint on my car.

@@pnr32 Yeah, that's about it :-) It's pretty confusing to me, since "mil" is almost never used, only hear "thou" or "thousands" spoken of on youtube. "mil" is just so misleading xD My dad worked with car paint, and always called it "my" which was shorthand for micron, given the symbol "μm". Makes sense that the US would find an imperial unit of course.
