Even though you never stopped talking everything you said was informative, educational and practical. Well presented, well spoken and well executed. I learned heaps from this. Great job!
Exactly right. What we don't want is a 2hr video of some guy droning on and on. A video like this one is informative and gets to the point - 'Here's what you need and here's how to do it'
Out of all the videos I watched, this is by far the most fundamentally informative and detailed explanation of how to go about the process. You went way above and beyond and answered all my questions and concerns. Now I know. 👌 This video is pure GOLD. Exactly the content you need on youtube. Thanks a lot man.
Great job young fella! I've been using a rotary with wool pads for 20 years and never a need to prime them. It would've been twice as fast correction with a rotary. Besides that keep up the good work and giving knowledge. 💪
20 minutes of gold. Thanks my dude! I just painted and clear coated a gas tank, and now feel pretty confident to take it that extra distance to look professional.
Great video man! Very educational and informative. Too bad there are a couple dislikes, but those people are probably just jealous. Lol. Keep up the great work!!
Can I just say thank you for the part where I’m not supposed to put force on the sand paper!!? Bro I had veins popping out… no wonder sanded through the paint lmao… fuck. Again, thank you!!
What grit did you use? Did you only use 1 type of grit? Im doing this to my civic which i bought used and its been landlord special repainted (shitty job) lots of swirls and orange peel). More detail: its been repainted before, theyve already buffed it but did a bad job. It still has orange peel but not that big. I still want to minimize it. What grit should i use to have the finishing touches? It has gloss but it looks dull, i want to make it like a mirror finish
Definitely one of the best and informative videos ever, kudos for taking the time to explain everything and share your knowledge and experiences because like most people watching this I'm new to this and I'm always researching for answers to my questions but rarely get them. You touched on so many things that I've been trying to get answers to because you obviously are passionate about what your doing and not just after likes and comments, for real thanks again bro.💪
Wow! If Carlsberg made paintshop videos...... This would be it! Well done young man, this must be the most thorough and informative videos on here. This is the sort of information amateurs and DIYers spend hours trying to find on line. No ego by just showing off what you can do but actually trying to teach and gift your knowledge to help others. I actually feel confident at setting about any paint job after watching this. Thank you.
That is a TON of detail (no pun intended). Thanks for the thorough explanation. As others have said, this deserves way more views. (Insert standing ovation here.)
My God you can talk, do you run on Duracell battery's ? All joking aside, very good video, I wish I seen this video before I f**ked up my getting orange peel out by sanding too much
Great info. Had to google it, ONR = Optimum brand "No Rinse Waterless Wash", a liquid cleaner popular with detailers, almost a cult following. Others suggest starting w/ 1000 or 1200 grit, then right to buffing compound. I used 1000 wet-sand on a whole newly painted car and got it to look like your post-sand stage. I didn't use a block but rather used 4 fingers on the paper, which gives better feel. I wiped the sandpaper across, not pulled/pushed along my fingers, which avoids cutting troughs. Sometimes it would grab, because removing a lot of color build-up (single-stage polyurethane, no hardener). I kept a wet rag busy keeping the surface flooded and wiping away paint debris. I'll do another pass w/ 2000 grit. Waiting on a wool pad and "Malco Super Duty Heavy Cut Compound", but best to wait a few weeks anyway to let the paint harden. I wanted to attack the orange-peel while the paint was soft (2 days after painting). I cut into the primer while sanding a few runs and other oops, so I'll use a touch-up gun there. That is the advantage of single-stage vs base-clearcoat, you can respray any bad spots and easily repair the future scratches and dents which will occur, if you keep left-over paint. Some think I should spend $5K on a pro paint job, but I only paid $1K for my car (1965 Dart) and love living as a resourceful bottom-feeder just to tic-off the wife and kids ("just write a check" types).
Great video bro! It would be nice to see links to some of those products on the description but that’s literally the only detail! Love the detailed explanation and examples.
Get you some various sized sanding blocks. You don't have to use just that tiny one. And be extra cautious on plastic parts that are painted. The paint on spoilers tends to wear out a lot faster.
Wow. This guy could work for NASA. I seen some of their videos on spacecraft electronic component soldering. Very much like this one; efficient use of words, specific, steps, articulate, and to the point! No, 'uhmms', 'aahh's', etc. Thank you, Nic!
Quick question. I ended up with a couple of clear coat runs on my Grand Prix GTP rear spoiler which is very similar in color. If I am going to sand and buff the orange peel antway, can I just sand down the runs with a 800 or 1,000 Grit wet sandpaper and then until the runs have been sanded down flush then continue on with the rest of the spoiler? I've seen videos where they prepare the run very slowly and in isolated way but as a hole boards going to be sending anyway what's the point? Please advise. Thanks
Watch paint society here on TH-cam. He motivated me to respray my very badly UV damaged hood and roof. I bought base coat and clear coat online for under $500 and sprayed it all myself today. First time with HVLP gun and it turned out awesome. Very easy to do. The hardest part of the whole process is having the space to do it! And I'm dead serious about that! It was very easy!
Very accurate and informative video. I have been detailing vehicles for over 40 years and this is the best video I've seen showing the hows and how not to it properly.
He should be studying Physics instead of refinishing automobiles … he could probably apply Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to the concept of Warp Drive technology 🤩
i sprayed my car and had orange pill bad,i only used 2x coats of single stage no clear coat and wondering if this method is ok for single stage with no clear?also i was wondering if i could simply roll on another coat of paint to my single stage thats just painted and then wet sand/polish? since its being sanded flat and smooth i should be able to roll on a coat right?i want to add another coat so i dont have patches i can see through just in case
Would it be a bad idea for me to get a DA to buff out my car with, with no prior DA experience? I just want to cut and pollish, take out the hazy look from micro swirl marks, that have built up, and what have ya.
Excellent Video Nic! I just sprayed an aftermarket fiberglass cowl hood for my car. I didn't have a paint booth to use so it's full of dirt nibs and a decent amount of orange peel. I think with this tutorial I can safely flatten it out some and make it look great. I know how much clear is on there since I put it on. I think I should have plenty.
I plan to do a recoat on my existing roof of my car. It's still has a clear coat but it's a 2014. should I use 1500grit prior to recoating over the existing clear coat
Hey buddy. Clearly you’re a capable young man. Next time instead of having someone paint or clear your car or a part of it, just do it yourself. Easier than you think and like I said, clearly you’re capable.
Jack Timbers Hey Jack! Thank you for the kind words, I actually just painted an engine bay, bumper, side skirts, spoiler, trunk, and wheels on my new project car! Video will be coming soon 👍
Amazing video! At the end you said though you see light haze and need to polish again... do you use the 105 compounding again? Or move on with a actual polisher product? I seen two bottles in the background. Cuase have Chemical Guys compound and polish separate 4 bottles.
The process of compounding / polishing permanently removes the sanding scratched clear coat. If you compound and polish it, it looks good, but a month later it looks bad again, then you did not polish it heavily enough.

Muuks The Producer thanks!
I agree! seems to me like he knows his stuff
This guy taught me more than all this other "detailers" on TH-cam 😱
Where did you get the woolpad? I've tried looking online but I want to use the one you're using
amen
Yeh. Like in the first two minutes!
@Jameson Leon you're right 😁 nobody cares
Omg your right
Likely the most thorough video I watched on wet sanding/removing orange peel! Loved it. Thanks.
Jose Urriza thank you!
Even though you never stopped talking everything you said was informative, educational and practical. Well presented, well spoken and well executed. I learned heaps from this. Great job!

Aggreed. Very informative. Thanks for explaining

Rotary da can burn da paint right?
Clear, concise and to the point. He understands the value of his time and mine.
I have been painting cars for 30 years and for a beginner you did ok
This is amazing, you're giving out so much information. This is like an idiots guide for people like me 😂😂
20 minutes of gold. Thanks my dude! I just painted and clear coated a gas tank, and now feel pretty confident to take it that extra distance to look professional.
I love the amount of detail in this, thank you for all the great tips and explaining everything clearly! Very helpful, thank you!! ❤️
Subbed. If every instructional video was like this I'd save hundreds of hours a year. …. cz I'm always doing stuff I don't know how to do🤣
Black Opal thanks for the sub! Glad I could help!
In my field, we call that "engineering." :)
You had me sold bro. Most informative and methodically explained how-to I’ve ever seen
Your like the messiah of polishing and information
Very well spoken and informative
Absolutely amazing, very informative and detailed video.
I learnt more from this 20min video and realised where I was going wrong than all the pros on TH-cam. Great info.
Great video man! Very educational and informative. Too bad there are a couple dislikes, but those people are probably just jealous. Lol. Keep up the great work!!
Jeremy thank you!
Nic, you get an A+ on this video! very informative and perfect for the DIYer... your passion glows as much as the buff lol
Keep up the great work!
Love the content and the explanation. 👍👍
Beautiful work!! Subscribed
You the man keep talking and do your thing keep posting more new video for the novice amateur people.
Can I just say thank you for the part where I’m not supposed to put force on the sand paper!!? Bro I had veins popping out… no wonder sanded through the paint lmao… fuck. Again, thank you!!

VERY knowledgeable.
Thanks for uploading.
Very nice video Nic. Best video on this subject.
You taught me better than all the other videos I’ve seen. Liked and subscribed, very informative I love it!
Cheers mate
Really good video, I will follow your advice. I have orange peel on my hood and basically this should direct me to what I have to do. Ty

I’m so glad I could help! If you have any additional questions, let me know!
Very informative. You’re confident when speaking and articulate yourself well in a way that’s easy for everyone to understand.
Hey Rog since he excited u so much maybe u need to ditch wifey and frost your hair and
Idk kinda long winded
Excellent tutorial, this guy should absolutely teach classes. Fantastic explanation from start to finish.

Of course the pun was intended.
Great information, excellent video overall.
excellent explanations. Extremely informative. Thank you!
Great explanation!!!!
Very good video a lot of information in it but i would like it if you do a larger area bu t thanks for the video
Best clear coat sanding explanation I have ever seen. I am doing a project right now and this told me exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!!
Just found out why I haven’t been able to buff out several deep scratches on a black paint job 🤦🏾♂️ Subbed ✔️ good stuff
Not a bad video “MATE” explained everything very well. 👍
Well done very helpful
What number grit on the sand paper u using?
Thank you for your thorough tutorial! It was very helpful!
My God you can talk, do you run on Duracell battery's ?
All joking aside, very good video, I wish I seen this video before I f**ked up my getting orange peel out by sanding too much

Great video bro! It would be nice to see links to some of those products on the description but that’s literally the only detail! Love the detailed explanation and examples.
Is there another step after applying the compound,like waxing?
Yes use a polish I recommend 3m step 2 polish for best result or nufinish from Walmart for a decent finish. Best compound by far is 3m
But your not wet sanding the round areas so how do you round areas? Or do you skip round areas and the polish does the job for that
parts of the body?
At 13 mins he squirts "a little bit of ONR" on the wool pad, what is ONR?
Onr is optimum no rinse. It’s the best spray detailer on the market. One bottle of it dilutes to 30+ bottles
@@nicbowen38 Many thanks

Get you some various sized sanding blocks. You don't have to use just that tiny one. And be extra cautious on plastic parts that are painted. The paint on spoilers tends to wear out a lot faster.
Whole semester lecture right here. Solid, bro! thanks!

can I just sand down the runs with a 800 or 1,000 Grit wet sandpaper and then until the runs have been sanded down flush then continue on with the rest of the spoiler?
I've seen videos where they prepare the run very slowly and in isolated way but as a hole boards going to be sending anyway what's the point?
Please advise.

Breathe.

Goddamn you talk fluently... Thanks for the advice :)
Wish my cars paint was worth messing with. One day tho.

He should be studying Physics instead of refinishing automobiles … he could probably apply Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to the concept of Warp Drive technology 🤩
Great video, all the best info in one video
You sir have earned a sub. Great detailed video you cant find elsewhere on youtube
Very well informative and process explanation, the best so far I seen on these topics. I am well educated on this technique from this video. Thanks
i sprayed my car and had orange pill bad,i only used 2x coats of single stage no clear coat and wondering if this method is ok for single stage with no clear?also i was wondering if i could simply roll on another coat of paint to my single stage thats just painted and then wet sand/polish? since its being sanded flat and smooth i should be able to roll on a coat right?i want to add another coat so i dont have patches i can see through just in case
Damn dude, you really know your stuff! Thanks for sharing all of this very useful info. You've made a subscriber out of me.
Would it be a bad idea for me to get a DA to buff out my car with, with no prior DA experience? I just want to cut and pollish, take out the hazy look from micro swirl marks, that have built up, and what have ya.
I can't believe this video was free to watch, Amazing job my friend
Wish I watched this before trying to wetsand my front bumper with a 2000 grit block, LOL.
Awesome video, great advice 👍👍 question , where can i find a sanding block like that one?
Excellent Video Nic! I just sprayed an aftermarket fiberglass cowl hood for my car. I didn't have a paint booth to use so it's full of dirt nibs and a decent amount of orange peel.

Super informative. Thank you!
Thanks dude. very informative. You're pretty smart.
Your dialogue is amazing. Look up Alex Hormozi and watch one video. When you are his age I see you sounding very close to him dialogue wise
5:58 firmly grasp it,
Reminded me of spongebob😂 awesome video thank you! I need to do this to my truck
this video just helped me immensely!! THANK YOU BRO!
Excellent video. You explained everything perfectly
After watching this video, I have followed this channel immediately
Crazy good video. I'll be watching more from you in the future!
This is literally exactly what I was looking for! thank you
this was a great video and very informative thanks so much

WOW!!!! So descriptive THANK YOU!!
Your good but man take a breather bro. You constantly talking. Hate to see you on some type of speed. Lol! Good job though
man thats a crap load of information....lol..whew! thanks young sir!
I did this and it has a beautiful mirror finish, but my paint is black. it gives more of a grey color now. do i need to wax it or what?
Question: does is make sense to use 320 or 400 to remove material fast and another pass with 2000?
How informative! Thank you so much!
Very comprehensive. Didn’t hear what grit wet sanding paper you are using in the process.
Amazing video! At the end you said though you see light haze and need to polish again... do you use the 105 compounding again? Or move on with a actual polisher product? I seen two bottles in the background.
Cuase have Chemical Guys compound and polish separate 4 bottles.
I used meguiars m210 and a yellow rupes pad to polish 👍
Great info, just curious why you had someone else do the painting?
good job! which abrasive papers have you used in number?
Can I polish using miguier's.. Sir for clear coat
Whats that product you used to polish? Thank you for the video!
learned a ton from this dude lol hope this blows up rightfully.
This is amazing. But, does it go back to that unshined paint after it rains or Time or the polishing lasts forever?
The process of compounding / polishing permanently removes the sanding scratched clear coat. If you compound and polish it, it looks good, but a month later it looks bad again, then you did not polish it heavily enough.
I love you, Mate. Thank u for sharing this
You should definately add a beat and rap this tutorial, it would rock.
Fuck yeah! You got lots of good information to give brother.
