This Is How To Wet Sand Using This Excellent Kit From Harbor Freight!! (Hercules Sand Discs)

[@apexdetail85]

How many of you have added wet sanding to your arsenal?

[@archiepezek]

I've done some wet sanding from time to time (I'm just a DIY guy and not a pro) after seeing instruction from you a couple years ago. It's really satisfying to be able to sand and polish damaged paint and have it look new again. Great video Brian.

[@kimnewling5728]

I wet sand

[@markhanson1009]

Me

[@samueladams584]

Did I miss it. What grit did Brian use to hand wet sand in the blue tape in the beginning ?

[@MNpicker]

That was a proper wet sanding tutorial 😎👌

[@malachi2371]

Fantastic demonstration and explanation to temper fear, thank you!

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Happy Easter

[@apexdetail85]

Happy Easter good friend!

[@neilwalker5041]

I love your sanding videos and these sanding discs are affordable and don’t require an interface like the Meguiars sanding sheets I have. Thank you for letting me know about these products which I will pick up tomorrow. Thank you for the video.

[@ChazR25]

Looks great. Nice demonstration! I've always been scared to sand the paint (not knowing enough), but you made it look easy.

[@millerdetailing4176]

Great video Brian and product review. I do very little sanding but when I have I also go to your videos for help.

[@murilloroger1]

I don't think that was clear coat coming off the panel I think is the residue off the sanding disc😂

[@bigd9848]

Happy Easter to you Brian and your son. I hope you’re having a great day.Great to see a video today 👍🏽

[@apexdetail85]

Happy Easter!

[@wescat2]

Thanks Brian. My local body shop gave me a hood and a couple of doors so I could learn to wet sand. Such a good video. Thanks!

[@user-un5my5bw4j]

I personally prefer starting off with 3m wet/dry 1000grit with a sanding block like dura block or norton holy block, then 2000grit then i move to a 3M trizact disc on my DA sander, then 5000 grit 3m trizact disc. Trizact disc last a really long time and are the best out there

[@dtna]

Thnx Brian. Nice shop.

[@richsmith3120]

Happy Easter to you and your family.

[@xxzmaniaczxx]

Thank you!

Jason Killmer-approved tutorial.

[@jonschmunk7719]

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!

[@malachi2371]

While using the sand paper, you were using a rotary, what speed were you at for the 1,000 and 2,000 grit?

[@MonikaWilliams-m1y]

Hey, thank you for all the content, info, and effort throughout the years. I currently have an issue where I dug too deep, leaving an impression, into the clear using your pencil/2500 grit method working on some paint chips. First time having this issue using your methods. How do you advise trying to correct the eraser sized impression left made? Work out wider starting with 1000 grit, or maybe less aggressive, and stepping down? Also been having some issues removing the 3000 grit marks using a single cross pass with orange foam/AW Redemption or even the Uro/3D One (worked slightly better). Paint is a 2007 BMW 335i.

[@mariozavala93]

I will begin wet sanding with this technique! Thank you. I have a question, will this work as well for headlights?

[@bdlii]

Was just about to check to make sure you were doing ok as I couldn't recall the last video timing and it felt like it had been a while. Probably just me my aging brain. Soon as I went to check your video popped up. Happy Easter!

[@apexdetail85]

It has been crazy busy at the shop. This video is a day or two late. You are correct.

[@Chris-wb7ni]

I have after watching your videos. Made me more confident in doing it. And I did know harbor freight had 3000 grit

[@chrisrochester4511]

Very informative as always Brian, thanks for taking the time to teach everyone! Have always appreciated your content.

[@chriscarter3304]

Brian you are about to save my bacon with this video. I have wet sanded several times by hand, never by machine, yet. What speed would you recommend running the polisher at for the wet sanding? Same as usual, 3-4 moving 1-2 inch per second? Thank you!

[@justintime4466]

Always wondered if you can have a 5” backing plate and use a 6” disc. Do you recommend stepping up through the whole grit range 1000-3000 or can you just go 1000 and hop to 3000?

[@westcoasttools5179]

Brian, the previous owner of my truck got a paint job that wasn’t the best quality resulting in a finish covered in orange peel. I have corrected it to the 75-80% range .I’m wondering if it is worth to try clearing up the orange peel or if that would be too taxing on my clear coat. Thank you and great video.

[@waynewoodrick5055]

Thanks Brian, next time I go to HF I will pick some of these up.

[@lorenreyes2855]

Happy Easter Brian and Family! Always a good video for a cheaper alternative then purchasing a entire pack of 3m sanding discs!🐰😉! The refrigerator again? I hope it's not military issue cheese? She'll be backed up for a month!🤣

[@markwilkins4706]

Thank you for this information wanting to add this to my services. Would these also work on heavily oxidized gel coat on boats?

[@malachi2371]

Another question… Since it avoids heating the plastic, why not wet sand, the entire car rather than using polishes that could heat the clearcoat?

[@kimnewling5728]

I'm very glad you taught me how to wet sand. Usually fantastic results. Cool video.

[@berniedmj1]

Hi! Can you possibly do a content from beginning to the end about this situation? I have a 93 Mercedes Benz 300e that has never been garaged. It’s my dad’s car. In any event, the roof, the hood, & the trunk is bad. Bad to the point that the clear coat has almost entirely peeled off & the paint is now like matte. How would you tackle this? My dad for whatever reason doesn’t want to clear coat. He wants to remove the clear coat & then polish it to shine.

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

I would love to learn to wet sand

[@nicholasthomas3635]

I've lightly flatten factory orange peel in the past (most of hood/fenders/doors/top of trunk w/1500 grit. Going down to knee-ish level to achieve a deep wet (no pun) shine.

[@lrlforfun]

Brian : I am on pins-n-needles waiting for you to do a presentation on Linear Blocking Tools.

[@pwrshots]

Love your real life scenarios. Freaking battery dies 😂

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

How does one decide on what grit is needed? Just start with high grit and work down if needed? Thx Brian.

[@dannyboy8644]

Thanks !!! Brian I am your student , you are a great teacher !

[@belairbubba628]

Where did you get those over head octagon lights?

[@jedward3]

Anchorman…I’m impressed!

[@fix-it-alljohn9837]

Great video!!!

[@JosephGrove-b2n]

Great information!

[@btbd2785]

Can you provide the links to the hand tools you show in the video? I.e the pamls sander spongers and the small blocks please? Thank you. Great video!👍

[@apexdetail85]

The palm sanders were left over from a headlight restoration kit. The rest from Amazon kits or local body shop supply.

[@Q50WO]

Phenomenonal

[@richardseem7948]

Awesome video and content good friend

[@rockycaruso387]

Hello Brian, This is Rocky from Jim Thorpe.. Great detailed video.. Keep them coming,

[@williampinchbeck4321]

Great video! How do these disks compare to the different 3M sanding disks!! Thanks Brian!! Hope you had a great Easter!

[@cb5806]

Thanks for the video, just about to start my wet sanding experience, fingers crossed!

[@davestewart9146]

Thank you Brian, I enjoyed your video 👍😁

[@ddautodetailing]

Great demonstration and explanation!

[@markperez6195]

Hi Brian. Happy Easter. What is your protocol to tone down slightly the orange peel on partial sections of the substrate on a particular refinished/repainted panel such as a hood?

[@apexdetail85]

Block sand 1k then 2k then 4 k. Polish from there.

[@stefan-stocksmadesimple5241]

I've always gotten pigtails when wet sanding with a da... On lowest speed, no pressure, 1-2 passes and yet... Pig tails in the end 🤔🤔🤔

[@apexdetail85]

Constantly flush with water to keep the pad clear.

[@micd9256]

Agreed. More water. Always keep your sanding media soaked. Don’t hesitate to switch out media for your final pass at any grit if you are at all concerned about residue that isn’t flushing out easily.

[@davidboyce6427]

Clickity Klack Brian way too much polish he he👍😂. and the dying battery. Nonetheless your videos are fantastic 🫡
