    I don't normally leave any comments but Brian this was one of the best presentations you ever made... Accurate, easy, understandable, and short but to the point, and the method and technique were easily understood and encouraging to try it... Good job. And thank you for having a video that supports taking action and does not intimidate...

    Thank you Brian, you're amazing !!!! I just did a 12 year old Dodge Ram work truck today and it came out great inside and out, 11 hours later..lol. While working today I was thinking I wish I knew how to wet sand and I hope Brian comes out with a video NO JOKE !! I wish I had scene this video before and had the actual materials because there were some scratches I know would have come out with wet sanding which woukd have made the end result that much better. Anyway, the client was thrilled and I just ordered the yellow foam hand sanding block and the Trizact 3000 grit discs. A test panel for me is right way to go before I test my skills on a clients vehicle. I can't say thank you enough for your videos, your teaching skills thst everyone can understand and follow. Sorry for the long message but thanks again and maybe someday I can swing by the shop I am right in NJ. Please keep the videos coming !

    Brian,
    Thank you again for sharing such valuable information on wet sanding. I recently bought my wife a 2015 Denali and I am correcting the paint on the entire vehicle. Thanks to your videos over the years, I am skillful and confident in taking on this job. Thus far, I have some fantastic results and at the same time, I am having fun!
    Again, thank you so much! One day, I hope to be a master like you:)

    Detailing is a great way to spend your time and lots of it. Friend of mine lived in a condo that had a garage and that was his past time. Wasn,t married, no girl friend, no other hobbies, and a day trader for a living. This was before the push for all the paint correction tools we have today. Every day he would be doing something on his 2 cars clean, re-polish,wax,seal, reshine the tires, stripe the wax off, do again, etc. I bet he spent 25+ hours a week messing around but thoese cars looked perfect. Then about 20 years ago he met a lady and got married. He drives a Civic and his wife drives a Subaru and at best they get driven thru the cars wash. I would love to ask him about what happened to his passion about keeping his cars show quality but I havent and probably wont.

      I'm not the guy, but I went through exactly the same thing with my photography hobby. Although I technically could produce pro photographs and It felt like the camera was an extension of my arm, I got to the point where I definitely decided not to be a professional. After that it all just lost its charm. I often wondered about your question too.
      I think having a sense of purpose and meaning behind what you do is essential for long term motivation. There's nothing like applying yourself professionally, putting yourself and your reputation on the line, experiencing the change you make for your customers and the innate beauty of quality workmanship. Take that away and whats left, really?

    Dry, damp and wet sanding by hand and or machine is an absolute must if you want to stand out from the crowd. My favourite discs are 3M Trizact 1,500-8,000 grit (DAMP), Micro Mesh 2500 - 12,000 and Kovax Super Buflex black (dry or wet). Kovax is Japanese and sold in US by Eagle abrasives I believe. Am no master at sanding but I love the results. Sand more polish less is my motto for severe defects and if I owned a bodyshop.

  • @Devon_Meadows
    @Devon_Meadows 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I will prefer to wet sand a heavily defected car, usually just with 3k paper, then rotary and will get minimum clear removal mainly because it keeps temperatures down while quickly removing defects. I make as little work for my DA as I can
    Its also worth noting its easier to remove uniform sanding marks so take your time when starting out

  • @HPAcustomriflesandcerakote

    Something that might help you. Ive been buffing vehicles and other things I paint for a long time now. You can always pull more depth out of things painted in custom candy and pearl colors no matter how good you and your clear coat gun can spray. Now days i start with Mirka Microstar 1500 and then 2000. They are a disc made for sanding clear that you do not run water with, you run them dry. Then i use 3M Trizact 3000, 5000, and at times will even go 8000 which you use with water to wet sand. The trizact disc last a long time. 1 disc will do a large hood plus the roof of the car. Then wipe of good with a mix of water and 93% isopropyl alchohol mixed at a ratio of 8 parts water to 1 part isopropyl then start buffing with pads and compounds of your choice

    So, now that you've taken off some of the clear coat, do you need to put it back?
    I can see that buffing it would make it appear normal again, but once you clean the buffing left over to put-in a protection coat, for example, or you leave it as is, will it look normal? My thinking is that by taking off the clear coat then it will be more vulnerable to the environment than before.

  • @Tony_Seed
    @Tony_Seed 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Brian , can I get your thoughts on using a glass cleaner (I’ve been using invisible glass spray can) as a panel prep before applying protection? I picked this up from the painters at the dealership I detailed at for years. Maybe a test video to see if a proper paint prep makes a sealant or coating more durable than glass cleaner

    Great vid as always Alex! Question: how do you typically tell if a clear coat is on the harder or softer side when choosing a polishing compound or pad?

      Test areas....I always do them even if I am confident I know the surface well.

    Thank you for the video. I need to do this to an older Honda I have.
    Also, what would you recommend to remove painted pinstripes on an Infiniti ? Would wet sand or eraser wheel work, or is something else better ? They are factory painted.

    Hi Brian, I have VW beetle that has severe contamination from a tree dropping twigs, moss and tree sap thats baked into the paint. Would clear sanding remove this? Ive tried claying, IPA and have had no luck.
