Great video! I discovered Maguire's compound last year and would not use anything else. Nice tip about soaking the wet n dry for 15 minutes. Thank you.
Thanks man I’m glad I could help out! That meguiars compound is pretty good stuff!
Good job looks Dope✔️
BROOO good stuff. I got a 98 ex build I'm working on now and I just got done spray painting my fenders and ready for this step....ill put on my channel.
Thanks man I appreciate it! Good luck on your ex build!
Nice video and super impressed with your enthusiasm. It's always a lot of work trying to get a perfect finish on a paint job but the results are always worth the elbow grease. I was looking closely at the clear coat after you wet sanded and then compounded. Granted the finish looked quite good, but you could still see a lot of imperfections in the surface. If you had wanted to get a really perfect result you should have wet sanded more until your surface finish was absolutely flat. Compounding would have then resulted in a truly magnificent finish. Good job, but you could have done way better.
I appreciate the feedback always like getting advice and to be pushed further! I was hesitant of wet sanding more as we spray painted this car and its not a professional paint job. Granted we did use a proper 2 part clear coat with hardener but I wasn’t sure we put enough on and didn’t want to burn through the clear coat wet sanding but I’ve got back after this video and re did some wet sanding and its MUCH better now!
Thanks for making this video, it's appreciated! Spray painted a new bumper and it came pretty good but had some orange peel. After watching a couple videos including this one I was able to get the paint like glass! I did use a foam block pad and not just the sandpaper though. Thanks again!
Awesome man i’m glad I could help! A foam block is always the way to go, wish I had one for this video.
I woild really recommend taping up corners you dont want to sand and panels. I first sanded my roof and accidentally sanded the side panels next to the roof
I just sanded a corner of my car roof and I kept stroking it like you guys! Do smoooooth, and reflective. A bit odd though I can see primer in one section as if I sanded too deep, but I couldn't have done,and it feels like clear of over the top still. Not sure what's going on there. Can't wait to go the rest of it, but I was using 1500 grit, do I'll get 2000 and 3000
Amazing video thank you but a bit puzzled. You said at the beginning 2000 grit wasn't good so you was gonna use 3k but sanded in 2k ? did i miss something? Thank you!
Ohh sorry for the confusion lol when I’m referring to “2k” im referring to the clear coat thats being wet sanded as it is a 2k clear coat!
Great video! How many coats of spray paint are on the car before you decide to wet sand? I saw a guy do this with one layer of Rust-Oleum spray paint, using 3000 grit sandpaper (same wet sanding method) and he ate through his paint job.
Thanks man! There is 3 color coats but that is not what you're meant to sand… there's 3 coats of clear coat on over the paint and that's what you wet sand to refine the finish! I don’t do any of this to single stage paint.
Great video! Question: after you complete the process are you ( and can you ) clear coat it. With something like 2x clear coat spray gloss? Thanks!
Thanks! Im sanding down the clear coat here. The clear coat needs to be applied before you wet sand not after.
@@brashgarage Okay, but I have debri in the paint pre clear coat. Do I apply the clear and then correct? Thank you.
Awesome…How long did you leave the paint sit before you did that?
2 weeks
I spray painted and touched up a scratch of my car.. but then later I see lot of overspray on my car door,when I touch it I can feel it..can I wetsand with 2000 grit to remove the overspray from the door?? And the touched up part ,I have not applied a clear coat,only a top coat
Yes you can just be very careful should be ok tho
My wife and I are actually painting a vintage bike. Should we wet sand with 3000 grit the paint before doing the K2 clear coat? There are a few rough spots.
You could but I wouldn’t 2k has a hardener in it that will cause its own orange peel you want to be refining the clear coat not the colour coat with 3 stage paint
Hey man I was hoping you could help. I just recently painted my car. Could use a wet sand and buff. When I washed the car my reflection looked like glass then when the water went away the panel looked hazy and cloudy. Any tips? Do you guys wet sand?are you guys available for a job
Did you use clear coat? Sounds like theres no clear coat on the paint. Also we are a youtube channel not a detailing nor a mechanic shop. We do not work on anyone’s vehicles. These are only our vehicles worked on by us with our money.
So I got my Car painted & guy at shop said he likes to give it 2-weeks for paint to cure in heat before wet sanding for final step?
100% correct don’t even wash it don’t touch it just let it be for 2 weeks some places will even paint ur car then will hold it for 2 weeks before they call you to come pick it up. You wanna make 110% sure it’s cured before you touch it, fresh clear is so soft for awhile.
What grit if you are wanting to remove most of the clear to replay after blending
If you want to take down the clear all the way just use something more abrasive than anything I used here you would have to work at it for hours using any of the grits I used here.
do you always wet sand your clear coat, or only with runs and fish eye? i thought you do a light wet sand before rubbing compound.
Definitely not always its just for things compounds and polishes cant get. It’s usually done on fresh paint jobs like this one here to reduce or get rid of tiger striping etc.
@@brashgarage so after clear coat on a fresh paint job you are wet sanding lightly before an initial compound /polish/wax
@@whateveritwasitis yes
Can you wet sand or sand down base coat( making the surface smooth flat) and adding clear coat over it ?
Yes
@16:05 dude in the background hitting his weed pen 🤣
🤣🤣🤫
Hey man, what brand 2k clear did you use.
SprayMax!
Can i wet sand the areas that have run marks before clear coat and then polish/buff?
Yes
Just did a diy vehicle painting about 15 hours ago how long should I wait before wet sanding
It all depends i waited around 2 weeks for everything to cure some body does do it within days
Can we do this on old paint ? / wetsend it 2000 ,then compound and polish ? Thank you
You should be able to with any paint as long as it has a clear coat over the colour coat. If it’s single stage paint you can still wet sand but the process is different.
Thanks,was it cleared at all before wetsand?
Like clear coated?
Yes
What kind of clear did you use. 2k?
Yup 2k
only way to go....
When do you dry sand vs wet sand
I would only ever wet sand when working with paint to make the outcome and appearance better. Dry sanding is basically just for removing material quickly like taking the old paint off the car so you can repaint it or sanding off rust, etc. When you want to sand painted piece, unless you wanna remove the paint, always wet sand with high grit then follow it up with compound, polish, and wax or sealant!
Can you compound/polish by hand or do you need the orbital buffer ?
In theory you could do it by hand, would probably take you days if not weeks to finish a whole car to 100%. Even with a DA or Orbital polisher its going to take you 4+ hours
@@brashgarage I just have one panel to do but there are some crevices that are hard to get with the buffer. Thanks !
Is muguyers 110 compound enough? I know I spelled that wrong, it’s their fault for having a hard name to spell lol)
Its a good compound, it would work well after wet sanding but will not replace wet sanding itself no.
How long can this take to remove orange peel
Days
This guy shows the real thing!
Yo, what kind of clear coat did you use for this job??
Spray Max 2k
@@brashgarage you’re an MVP for such a fast reply, thank you man great video
@jacob_clark I got you bro no worries!
Hey I watched your video again and wanted to ask 1 more question : how come you didn’t use 2500 grit sandpaper if you were afraid you would have gone too far?
To be honest because I didn’t care the paint job sucks anyways and i know how much clear coat i put on it so i just sent it haha
You could definitely try 2500 grit as you probably should
EYVALLAA
How do you know what grit to use?
Depends on how bad the clear coat is and how thick/thin it is usually 1500-2500-3500 is the range you would want to be in
@@brashgarage are you still in the detailing business?
@@devinmorales7782 Nope I just do this on my own cars!
@@brashgarage why don’t you start your own detailing business
@@devinmorales7782 takes the fun out of it. If i work on other peoples cars for a living weather it be detailing or mechanical I wouldn’t be here making content building my own cars for fun
What’s “orange peel”
See how the paint looks rough? Like an orange peel? Thats orange peel happens after a fresh paint job
I be sayin white dudes betta paintas cause my neighbor showed me how to paint my spot on my bmw my lady bumped
Paint job shouldn’t be that bad to start off with! You don’t use spray cans to paint a car never mind a whole car 🤦♂️
Dont get your panties in a bunch now
I really dont think you should be making educational type videos until you have a firm grip of the subject.
Care to elaborate? End result was night and day on an absolutely hideous paint job. I have quite the good understanding of wet sanding thank you very much.
@@brashgarageI was about to leave the exact same comment. You're really not in a position to be making educational content. You should be wet sanding with a block as you're clearly leaving finger marks. The test panels you did have so much compounding haze left over they look just as bad as the parts you didn't do.
Strongly agree with you.
It’s not to late to delete this…
What's your problem with it bud?
This is a joke right cause I can tell you this looks horrible
Its a spray painted car bro relax this took out of ton of orange peel😂🤦♂️
