It simply amazes me how time after time you can achieve such a perfect finish without missing a speck of dust or grit. Keep up the great work!

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thank you so much!

[@BrydensModelWorks]

A very helpful tutorial Oni👍, should give a good idea to people whom are wanting to achieve mirror shine on their models! I appreciate the modelers who take the extra time to do this since the majority of the merit on a model car is the body itself. I see a lot of modelers that leave their car with orange peel and using Rust-Oleum paint and stuff on the body, especially the ones that don't make jdm or exotic cars.😢

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thank you so much Bryden! ^^

[@bquattrog]

Stunning results, thank you for showing us the process. I followed this on my last model (hand polish though) and it came out amazing. 👍🏻🙏

[@OMGscaleworks]

I’m feel so good that my work is useful to you. Thanks a lot to you too for your following.

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Great work, very detailed tutorial and easy to follow. Thanks for the share.

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thanks you so much Karl! ^^

[@stevecampbell6454]

Thanks for answering many questions that I already had.

[@OMGscaleworks]

You’re welcome! I just want everyone enjoy with scale model making and want to see everyone do a beautiful work.

[@RuweSaare]

Level of the clear coat was already perfect before the wet sanding and polishing :D

[@OMGscaleworks]

Yeah, It’s shine but I think it’s not smooth enough. 😃

[@RuweSaare]

@@OMGscaleworks I wish I could get a clear coat in your level :)

[@eduardoj30]

Thank’s for the video. I have a dremel Stylo but I didn’t know the correct speed for use.

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thanks 2 U for watching my video too!

[@thomasb3893]

Fantastic - how do you avoid sanding thru the paint on the edges and corners?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Actually I didn't sanding down to the edge at all. Generally at the edge there will be no problem with the orange peel effect.

[@RXcrazzd]

Again Oni, your work is impressive and also very inspiring! Do you put a little dish soap in the water when wet sanding?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Sometimes, thanks 😊

[@330.Custom.Diecast]

Nice video. Do you wash the polishing pad with water afterwards? Soap and water? Thx.

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thank you ,Yes I washed the pad with dishwashing liquid

Great tutorial! What brand/model of dremel do you use? Couldn't see if it is wireless.

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thanks a lot Jorge ,this is Dremel Stylo+

[@jorgenakamura2043]

@@OMGscaleworks Thanks!

[@corrioliseffect]

Okay, but does it stay shiny? Like, after years on display? Or, do you have to re-wax it every 3 years or so?

[@OMGscaleworks]

For the durability of shine ,I think it probably depends on the clear coat you use and thinner mix ratio.

[@Deansscalemodelzone]

mine have held their shine over 20 years and going. depending on how they are stored you may have and issue with dust. now with bare metal foil (BMF) i have some that experienced some peeling over many years. not real bad but noticeable. maybe the adhesive gives out over time. Also i never clear coat my BMF.

[@tcandle695]

Nice. Can you share the link for the tool heads you used to polish the model? I want to buy one. Thanks.

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thanks ,I got it from Aliexpress try to use this keyword “Mini polishing pad”

[@wadep420ify]

Beautiful

[@johnathan133]

Do you change out the water for each grit of sandpaper?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Yeah ,must do it for the best result!

[@bestog2000]

How long do you let the 2k clear coat cure before you do the wet sanding ?

[@OMGscaleworks]

At least 72 hours.

[@RXcrazzd]

Happy to see a pertinent question while reading through the comments.

[@RXcrazzd]

@@OMGscaleworks do you use a dehydrator?

[@OMGscaleworks]

@@RXcrazzd No need, I just cover it with a box to keep it out of dust.

[@RXcrazzd]

@ plastic or metal. Some guy here in America always says that plastic is very static and will attract dust ..

[@bucasso]

That‘s wonderful！

[@OMGscaleworks]

Glad you like it!

[@davidgillard4995]

Amazing!

[@johncater7861]

Could you tell me the base paint? Is it lacquer, enamel, water-based etc? Thanks.

[@OMGscaleworks]

Most of paint I used with airbrush is laquer based.

[@johncater7861]

@@OMGscaleworks many thanks

[@ericohman]

@@OMGscaleworksdid you clear coat prior to polishing? From the start of the video, does the model have been clear coated?

[@OMGscaleworks]

@@ericohmanYes already applied clear coat before do wet sanding.

[@bigben8057]

What is the minimum speed of the drill you set for polishing?)

[@OMGscaleworks]

I used the lowest speed of this Dremel.

[@mariuszddd3114]

I have the same sponge set but polishing did not finish extra shiny. I used green sponge(coarse) with coarse compound - blue sponge with fine compound and finally extra fine sponge with car finish conpound mazerna 3000. What I have done false?

[@AlfredLo1]

what are the polishing velcro pads you use for the dremel and where to buy?

[@OMGscaleworks]

They’re “mini polishing sponge pad” I got it from www.mangapromix.com

[@darrenenglish1817]

Awesome build. Is it possible to get a link to purchase the dremel polishing attachments and the polish please. Thanks

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thanks a lot sir. These sponge pads I got from www.mangapromix.com

wow amazing!!👍

[@gabrielbarco5126]

Impresionante...!

[@OMGscaleworks]

Glad you like my video 😊

[@arthurhickman045]

Do you have a link to where you bought the sponge polishing kit? Also, what wax would you recommend if I wanted to make a high gloss P 51 D mustang?

[@OMGscaleworks]

You can find them in Amazon just search "Mini Polishing Pad" and you can use some real car wax such as 3M ,Meguiar's or Chemical Guy.

[@aldovillegas8774]

Where can i buy the polishing sponge that you used with Dremel?

[@OMGscaleworks]

I got this from alibaba you can use keyword “Mini polishing sponge pad”

[@aldovillegas8774]

@@OMGscaleworks thanks 😊

[@t3hgir]

nice but why do you apply decals and metal transfers to the body before polishing???

[@Ismsanmar]

The decals (and the paint) are applied from the factory of the Testarossa scale model. He is just removing the orange peel effect on the clear coat that the factory leaves, as it is an automatized process. That's usually the difference between a low price model car comming from a automated production line, and a high price one with the human touch.

[@t3hgir]

@@Ismsanmar ahhh I forgot that this older kit was clear coated from the factory.. thanks

[@alexsmcv84]

Great tutorial!

[@OMGscaleworks]

Glad you like it!

[@RuweSaare]

Did you also sanded and polished side ribs on the doors? And smaller areas like pillars?

[@OMGscaleworks]

I did not do polishing in small area. I think it's not necessary.

[@RuweSaare]

@@OMGscaleworks Thank you for your answer!

[@Over9000Chainz]

so the process is to paint and clear coat before starting wet sanding? do you clear coat again after polishing?

[@OMGscaleworks]

No, I did not applied clear coat after polishing. If you do that It will be like starting the process all over again.

[@Over9000Chainz]

@@OMGscaleworks got it. Thanks so much for the help! Great video 🙏🏿

[@bigben8057]

Please write a tool from Dremel do you use for polishing?

[@OMGscaleworks]

It’s “Mini Polishing sponge pad” I found them from alibaba.

[@Enlapanlima]

How many layers of clear coat until it's safe to start sanding it like in the video?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Depends on the smoothness of the clear coating layer. If it's already smooth, you don't need to spray it too thick.

[@t-one234]

Where did you get those polishing pads? Id love some for my Dremel.

[@OMGscaleworks]

You can find them in alibaba just try this keyword “Mini polishing sponge pad” Hope you can find them!

[@Garrett-In-Canada]

are these clear coated or is it just paint?

[@OMGscaleworks]

It’s clear coat.

[@frederickdominguez4829]

Can this process be used on paint that has not been cleared

[@OMGscaleworks]

I think it can be done. However, you may need to apply the paint thicker than normal.

[@AP12BG]

How do you remove the compound that stays in the door and bonnet crevices

[@OMGscaleworks]

I used soft paint brush with warm water. But if it does not come off you can use panel line accent to make it black ha ha!

[@RXcrazzd]

Hot water in an airbrush might work well..

[@ricecrispeee3367]

Do you wet sand and polish after clear coat?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Yes sir!

[@baddgoat85]

That's ridiculous bruh. Amazing. Are you just doing this process after you've applied the primer, paint, and clear coat? Are you wet sanding the primer and base coat as well?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Thanks 😊 I did a dry sanding in every layers of paint with #3000.

[@Rjacket]

Do you have a link to the sponges? I can only seem to find 3" on Amazon?

Where can I find these pads?

Who makes the 'compound' you use?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Can you give me the name of the camera configuration you are using?

[@smittysmith4746]

Where to buy pads?

[@OMGscaleworks]

Try to find “Mini polishing pad” in AliExpress

[@marcelofloripa26]

I was thinking about buying this Dremel tool. What speed do you use for polishing? I think 5000rpm is too high for polishing

[@OMGscaleworks]

I'm not sure how many rpm it is. Usually, I use the lowest speed to apply the compound evenly over the workpiece. and then add a little more speed (no.2) to polish.

[@pscustommodel]

ขอนำไปฝึกวิยายุทธนะครับ

[@OMGscaleworks]

จัดไปครับ

[@dvdw_graphics_crafts]

I didn't see any orange peel effect to begin with ; )

[@dvdw_graphics_crafts]

@@OMGscaleworks 0:30 really hard to see; i thought it was like, pretend there was orange peel effect. I watched again at 1080p, barely saw any still. :D

[@THEpandora100]

Wow! 🔥 Manual (hand) polishing does not achieve fine...

[@vincentlussier8264]

Yes it does! I get high polishes like his all the time by hand ! It's knowing how to use the right sanding abrasives and polish compounds . It's practice but it works. Electric polishing tools can burn through the paint to primer if you're not careful and their speed can flip the body out of your hand also. Very risky and both ways work but hand polishing is much safer!
