i got a similar tip. take sand paper (wet or dry sandpaper) cut them into long skinny strips (4 inches should be fine) place the sand paper on the dirt nib, place or press lightly with your finger on where the dirt nib is, then pull the sand paper from underneath your finger. this allows you to only sand the dirtnib without making the sanding area bigger than it needs to be. the process might be slower but its basically pennies on the dollar in materials. If youre paying attention, you should be able to sand it flat without sanding too far and creating a divet.
I figured you for a festool denib tool kinda guy. I pulled the trigger on one and am pretty impressed. I’ve actually been using it for prepping and leveling touch up repairs on rock chips jus this past week.
I love my tolecut kit. Couple things I learned was that you can keep the sand paper on the block. 1200 on a side, 2000 on the other. Those are the grits I buy too. Can get expensive if you keep all the grits. Although 800 works pretty good for runs😜
i call the Original untouched/unbuffed finish the " SKIN EFFECT " ...that can be better than the best buffing job ....because like you said there is NO scratches however small.... thanks for sharing .... Jay. aka CarsRcool channel
been using these for a while and love them. what I do is put two different grits on opposite faces of the same block and have 2 different grits per block on multiple blocks and no having to swap out film unless it's worn out.
Tolecut is a great kit. As clean as you think sprayed you might find some dirt. Definitely a game changer. You are a perfectionist Kandy Man. I can appreciate that. Enjoy your evening.
Just found your channel. I have been around this stuff for many years and you’re the best painter I have seen. I am watching all your videos related to what I am doing. Incredible work you do! I use PPG products as well. Have all the primers set to use like you do. I am restoring a 69 Camaro lime frost green. I used 2021 clear on the last restoration and did not like it. Way too hard to sand flat and polish. I’m hoping I can use your tips to lay some clear down with medium coats and minimal cut and buff. I’ll get this de-nib kit for sure. Would you recommend the VC5700 clear I saw you use in another video? Thanks for posting all the videos!! Bill
Perfect finish Kandy Man, not sure if you know Wayne from Damage Undone but he is a big user of all the Kovax system I have seen him use those small blocks and what he does to make it slightly quicker is to put one square of paper on each side of the block so you have both grits on your block ready to go, thought it might help you🤔🙏👍John UK
Thanks you sir!! This also would be a fantastic addition for any detailers going after sand scratches in paint correction ! ( I made a home brew setup with left over hard blocks that come in the kits for ceramic coating jobs) I am going to add to my arsenal!!!💪
3M Festool Scraper Deniber #29925 has been a game changer for me. Great for tiny nibs all the way up to removimg big sags and runs. It suppose to level/smooth nibs comparable to 2500 grit level.
Great vid bro! Question for ya, i have a new Vette i have to spray soon, code is wa623g, i have not shot that color yet, was wondering if you have and have any tips? We both spray the same materials, it only has Prime and no other variants.
Kandy: Great info...Thanks! So I have 5 coats of glamour clear on my Impala. Came out great but have some dirt similar to yours in this vid. Letting it cook...and it will be hard. What grit do you think I should start with on my nibs?
Great looking kit. Might sound a daft question but can I use this to flatten high spots where I have touched up stone chips on my bonnet before polishing and buffing?
Just got my Lexus back from shop and they repainted my rear bumper and I see some nibs. Definitely don’t want them to touch my car or repaint. Maybe this is a solution 🤔 or I just let it go since it’s in the button bumper and only visible when I get up close 🧐
I have been having really good luck with a tungsten nib blade for the heavy knock down before light sanding. Do you guys get time to de nib from your insurance companies?

Nice job, i love kovacs paper. I use dry all the time expensive though but what isn't.

Thank you for repping us KandyMan, and stellar work as usual 🔥🔥🔥
👊👊
That was a game changer when I discovered that kit. Fast, efficient. Always look forward to your videos young man,Cheers, William
Right on
What brand microfibre towels are you using when cleaning panels for paint?@@kandyman5315
And where do you get them? Thanks Kandyman
That looks like a sweet kit, I guess it would work good for scratches that need sanding too. Thanks For sharing that with us.
Kovax is life changing. Hate wet sanding with 1500 then trizac 3000. Takes a lot of time with buffing
I agree
I love the tolecut starter kit , good choice

I'm going to grab one for myself, thanks
Thanks I man even with a state of the art booth inclusions occur thanks for filming these jobs warts and all 😊😊😊😊

I'll check it out for ya in the morning 👍
Can you share tips on using other brands or alternatives to 3m? They increase their price everytine
Great video 👌
Kandy:
Great info...Thanks!

Yes, this would be perfect
@@kandyman5315 great thanks. I have a mirka mini F file but this system looks better.

This kit is great
I was wondering if you still had your prepper? I haven’t seen him lately
He has found a new job
About to move to Florida and be his prepper
@@kandyman5315 wow that was quick. I guess I’m not surprised though. Unless you want to paint or want to work on cars it isn’t really appealing.
@@V1CSTAA I get it. I would too if I could. A lot of knowledge could be learned!
Nice
Thanks
What paint code was used on that door brother?
C3y
