This helped me alot I thought my car hood was cooked but now i realize i can just go up in sanding grits then I'll finish with a buff to remove the haze
Very nice video, but a side-by-side comparison would have been awesome, with one side of the panel sanded and polished, while the other one left as is at the beginning.
I agree; furthermore, it is actually advised not to use any lubricant from Kovax, because it will cause more clogging issues--these dry discs already have a substance on it designed for dry-sanding efficiency.
@@Rabbit.760 it’s lint or air bubbles, trust me my friend I know what I’m talking about, look at my videos that I uploaded for proof I’m not just talking out of my butt, I know how to paint and have enough experience to know that’s air bubbles or lint. A polish will always 100% everytime make your paint job look better.
Please anyone let me know what speed on DA polisher for the sanding & is there any hand pressure applied when sanding or just guide the DA throughout the surface??
You’re trying to eliminate swirls and scratches which you can see when sanding. You only want to sand just enough to remove those. Don’t want to do too much that you eat through too much clear coat.
Normally a sander has a smaller orbit to a DA. The smaller orbit makes smaller scratches which are easier to polish out. You can use a DA but keep that in mind. 👍

@@daddychill8070 many reasons but the main ones being it will cause pig tails and unevenness of the clear coat. This is what you want to avoid, when you use your hand you wont get this, plus you actually feel what you are doing!
Good advice, I detail paint CSM says this will only take off 1/10th of the total clear. Orange peel paint is the bumps. Do every step, thx for this great advice. Use a DA.
It doesn't work. You must have 7 coats of clear to help prevent breaking through. Just do 3 coats and do the sanding by hand with a fine grit 2000, it always comes out perfect.
No, it is NOT "fixed." You have removed some of the clear coat that is a protective layer to the base coat paint. Now the smallest rocks or debris will scratch and chip all the way through the clearcoat and base coat. You should have resprayed the clearcoat in order to maintain the same level of protection as the factory when the vehicle was manufactured.
Thats really not how it works, however, you are correct, manufacturers put as minimal paint as possible on so you really shouldnt be flatting and polishing. in fact, id bet to use 1500 sanding this its already been painted before. When respraying anything to a decent standard, 4 coats of lacquer then you can sand it back properly :)

looks great , what would you recommend on using as a sealer thanks ?
Mines have many cracks in her. Ive veen sanding it down to the weave to remove the cracks
When you wet sanding what speed you put on?
Very nice video, but a side-by-side comparison would have been awesome, with one side of the panel sanded and polished, while the other one left as is at the beginning.
You didn’t see the difference? The end result looked way better
What sealant would you recommend on a budget?
A wet on wet sealant, there all the same. Spray the sealant, let it flash then paint over it. Done like a da done done.
@@BeaterCollectorWait, you're talking about sealer not sealant right?
TurtleWax
Kovax are dry sanding discs. Water is not required
I agree; furthermore, it is actually advised not to use any lubricant from Kovax, because it will cause more clogging issues--these dry discs already have a substance on it designed for dry-sanding efficiency.
Dude I swear to God the clear coat looked better before u started
No if you rewind it you can notice it looks a tiny little bit better after but imo this is too much work just to make it barely even noticeably better
You can literally see air bubbles or lint at the start of the video, the polish made it way better.
@@natescustombuildsI can't see any of that... I see a deep and clear reflection at the beginning and at the end I see body shop tracks
@@natescustombuildsI believe what you're seeing is the heavy metallic in the paint

What kind of machine was that to sand
Please anyone let me know what speed on DA polisher for the sanding & is there any hand pressure applied when sanding or just guide the DA throughout the surface??
Can You Do This Same Process For Dirty Paint, Dust/Dirt?? Right Now We Are Cleaning Up A CandyApple Paint Job !
W you use da sander machine no problem?
What sealant?
Sending machine not use??
Do you have an email so I can send you pics of my car to get advice on how to fix clearcoat and also what is sealant
😊
Can I use a DA machine I use for normal paint correction to do this type of sanding Dave?
Ideally a smaller orbit is best 2.5mm. But the 21mm or 15mm seem to work so why not hey.
How often van you do this, before you ruin your clearcoat.
Depends on how much clearcoat you have.
How many passes do you have to make when wet or dry sanding
You’re trying to eliminate swirls and scratches which you can see when sanding. You only want to sand just enough to remove those. Don’t want to do too much that you eat through too much clear coat.
Can I use my regular polishing DA to wet sand? why use a sander ?
Normally a sander has a smaller orbit to a DA. The smaller orbit makes smaller scratches which are easier to polish out. You can use a DA but keep that in mind. 👍
why wet / Damp Sanding when it's fresh?
Will strip off the clear if you don’t wet it when it’s fresh
How many coats of clear coat do you need to prevent sanding through the clear and into the paint?
2 coats of clear is about 80 to 100 micron thick. This takes off no more than 10. It’s only really levelling the high spots.

Will this help with a little yellowing in clear coat
No
Can you do this without the compound and polish?
No
can I do this with my orbital sanderDA/polisher I have crows feet and too be safe should I start with 2k instead of 1.5
Do not mess with the paint at all if it has crows feet. You will regret it.
@@j.waylonmusic642 I did it I regretted it but I did hand applied clear coat hopefully itll preserve
ready for a sealer? what sealer?
A paint sealer like ceramic coating or wax.
Nice and easy way but not for the uninitiated 🥺
No, check your paint thickness first
Not necessary at all lol
Is it safe to wet sand with a DA polish machine? I have only wet sand by hand and its hard
At this level of cut 1.5 2k 3k..each layer improves the other.
Good compounds with bring back 3k use a da.
No do not do this, especially with a d-a. Use your hand 👍
@@kevinohagan963how come?

Jason Rose wet sanded a paint section, then measures each layer with his Positector.
From base to clear...
1.7 base
1.8 paint
9.0 clear
12.5 Total
Hi can you spray my 40 year old car
No sealant on fresh clear. Wait a the very least a month.
It doesn't work. You must have 7 coats of clear to help prevent breaking through. Just do 3 coats and do the sanding by hand with a fine grit 2000, it always comes out perfect.
Also you can start by not getting your car painted at Mako they are trash😅😅😅
I like to see you do better.
3000 is over the top Finnish with 2000 then lambs wool then sponge pad lambs wool will get the 2000 scratches out
Sealer? Like what
A wax, polish or coating.
What's new ?
Wait. That's not the best comment ever. Why not?
@@customspraymods I wasn't trying hard enough?
starting at 1500 grit way too much, gonna have scratches and swirls
Nope.
I tried EXACTLY the way he did it, it didn't work.
Can’t learn in 60 seconds sorry
Lol might aswell just fuckin sand it back and repaint it bro
@@keithpeterson3805 and get more dust.
@@customspraymods😂
What happened?
Easy way? This is a ton of steps & very labor intensive brah 😐
Might as well buy a new Bonnet
Yeh lol this amount of fucking around may aswell just sand it back and repaint it
No, it is NOT "fixed." You have removed some of the clear coat that is a protective layer to the base coat paint.

You should have resprayed the clearcoat in order to maintain the same level of protection as the factory when the vehicle was manufactured.
We detail cars like this all the time we measure the depth of paint...you may not do this on very thin paint...just use a da with Meguiars 105/205
Thats really not how it works, however, you are correct, manufacturers put as minimal paint as possible on so you really shouldnt be flatting and polishing. in fact, id bet to use 1500 sanding this its already been painted before.
When respraying anything to a decent standard, 4 coats of lacquer then you can sand it back properly :)
you only remove less than a tenth of a micron of clearcoat.
How long should we wait for the clear to dry before doing any sanding?
This was painted the day before.
The longer the better...CSM says the day after with new clears 👍
That shit looked horrible at the end..all kinds of haze and scratches..was this a joke?
Why polish a turd. Best way to fix clear coat is to actually fix it.
Pro. Obviously👆
