Remove Orange Peels (Step-by-Step) use Dry Sanding

[@Chavoosi]

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

[@Amddetailing]

I am glad that the video served you and that it has a positive response.

[@Chiriwillo566]

Sp how long did it take?

[@franksliwa362]

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!!

[@tomthumb1498]

He just demonstrated how to do it without circular patterns so evidently you are doing something wrong. It's ok to admit to learning something new after you old Is your self-esteem so low that you can't simply say "I didn't know that" instead of the back handed compliment?

[@franksliwa362]

@ So Tom, I’m Assuming you’re an expert on body and paint. I simply stated facts of time tested results. I do appreciate new techniques. Not to say that I would use a orbital sander on my vehicle. So your off handed insult is meaningless. We take what we can use and pitch the rest.

[@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 !

[@jonagius]

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

[@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

[@cooperlawrence4885]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@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!

[@luuk_is200]

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

[@gobbel600]

The Buflex sandpaper is unreal! What an amazing product. I bought a budget version of the sander and I couldn't believe the result I got with the paper. Thanks so much. Best video out there!!

[@Amddetailing]

Thank you for your trust, that the papers are unreal and very precise

[@luvyourzzz]

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

[@adepunithish5840]

Here is my question . why we need to do sanding first, instead directly you can go for compounding and polishing .your suggestion is highly helpful for me .

[@Amddetailing]

The orange peel must be ground to remove it

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

[@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"
