#1 paint channel on TH-cam, just because it’s the most down to earth, practical, with real world solutions! You will not come across another professional that will always think out of the box and possess the skills and knowledge to get real world results no matter the situation, a professional in any trade can have different tools, supplies,etc….thrown at them and they know how to deliver a great result, I think I can speak for everyone in your community, awesome job and keep them coming, the shorts too!😂👍💪
I stared using them 6 months or so ago and I wish I had them 20 years ago also !!!! We use them all the time esp for collision work. Makes denibbing way faster now
Sir. 1)Try a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and distilled h2o to clean the surface. 2) Prime your pad with 5 dime sized dabs of polish and before turning on the machine rub the pad on the area you are about to work on. Priming the pad keeps the machine from jumping and so does keeping your hand on top of the machine above the pad. Work in a roughly 2’x2’ area using a cross hatch type pattern slightly overlapping each pass. *Do not squirt polish all over the place-you wasted a lot of polish As far as ceramic coatings some can make a mess out of a perfectly polished and prepped vehicle and actually need sanded off to start all over wasting time and money. Having three high quality different color microfibers is a great way to keep track of what order they are used in order to remove the excess ceramic, buff the area, then rebuff the area extending a bit past the 2’x2’ area you are working on while ceramic coating the vehicle
Osren also produces their own abrasive called NAO Compound 56 that is specifically designed to be used on orange peel levelling jobs paired with their denim pad. With how well this job turned out, I'm sure it could turn out even better when paired with that compound.

@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I forgot to mention, I seen you're video a few months back of the speedokote headlight kit. I bought a kit on the spot. Finally pulled it out the box and tried it out. Came out awesome and is holding up well after a couple washes. Made a huge run and redone one of them. Very happy with the results overall
I just pqinted a bicycle with speedokote color blender .i put epoxy color pigment in it and it came out opaque and for a beginner i would now say that epoxy pigment and pearl takes some skill.i have been touching spots up about three diffrent times after cleaning gun thinking i was done
been using denim for polishing and directing a while now. you never see any of the top pros on TH-cam using it ever. the ones that do just know how great it is
I tried one one but it did nothing at all even on a fresh cheap single stage paint, I did the whole right side of the car zero I mean zero orange pill or any dirt did it remove and zero differences in the shine or anything I was hoping for some different but nothing happen, so wet sand and buff with the great wool pad and now it looks great, and again I was hoping for some different but I got zero results not even any paint was on the pad and again it was a one week old single stage paint job, however I'm glad it worked for you and maybe on clear-coat it will preform thanks for the videos I do enjoy them maybe if you could do some more older cars would be great have a nice day
Ahhhhhhh! So I am not crazy I really did polish through my clear coat! haha! I just fixed rear fenders on my 05 elantra, the repair finished better than expected, the paint had peel so I followed the 1500 and 2000, it looks amazing wet with wax, but I have to re apply some clear coat for sure as there is some left to touch but you can tell it's gotten too thin.
I've tried denim, and it works. The problem I had was the edges beginning to fray slightly and become twisted causing them to be bigher than the face of the pad. Since the pad is not flexible that caused pigtails. Perhaps the rotary version of the pad would not have this problem since it's softer and the material wraps around the top of pad with no exposed edge.
Thanks for sharing this with us Marco, I haven't used these denim pads but I have seen the Kandy Man use them on one of his cars and was rather impressed but it was better to see you use it on a real world DIY paint job with a small compressor compared to him using them on a state of the art booth spray job🙏👍John UK
Im suprized.. flat and glossy..i use rotary with the farecla mop and 360 compound.works fast..but can ruin clearcoat fast too..ima look into denim..thx for video❤❤
With how many people paint their cars with rustoleum turbo paint, would u make a vid to try get the best finish possible out of it, like paint, cut and buff on a spare panel if u have one laying around.
This looks like a great orange peel solution. Would this remove small nibs while smoothing out the orange peel at the same time? Or would small nibs need to be wet sanded first?
Really they been out and about for a long time i only use them to tone down and not to fully remove it. Best way in my opinion will be a combo of wet and dry sanding depending the clear
I started using these in 2010. The asians have been doing it way longer than that. Sanding is still better as denim round's it off, sanding slices through it and theres no heat. But denim has a place for sure. Reelmasters retro room is where my peel removal videos from back then are
I wish I knew about this earlier I just finished doing heavy compound mid-cut polish and then finishing glaze and now I was going to use ceramic coat spray. Oh I forgot I also did clay bar so anyways I spend all these hours only to see that the paint is showing more orange peel. Do you think I should just go back and spray it down with some isoprol alcohol and then try the denim pad? I used Menzerna heavy cut 400 with a purple wool pad. Still have orange peel.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 I believe I do have light orange peel. The reflection is just not as crisp as for example of my other car which is like a mirror reflection. So do you think I should use the denim pad with my Menzerna 400 or should I use the 2500 which is a mid-cut?
Unfortunately we don't get into these kinds projects anymore because almost 90% of people have no idea what stuff like this costs. It's very expensive.
But, if that pad is doing a similar job to the sanding...isn't that removing just as much material from the clear coat? How is it any better for the clear coat layer?
One time when taking out fisheye, i forgot to put a pad and used the buffer. Basically hitting it the velcro 😅 oddly enough it knocked the fish eye immediately out without burning thru. When i realized, i put the pad on, but the area that i hit with velcro looked the best lol. More studies oughta be done lol
@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 try it and tell me I was trippin lol I was contemplating taking the pad off again the whole time 🤣 ( it was 1000 grit, took forever lol)
looks like you have some tiger striping in your base coat color. do you spray with an x pattern when you spray metallics or pearls? also aeropro a610 spray gun will lay clear way better and it's a cheap dyi gun for really cheap and you can toss it when it wears out.
thanks for posting, I noticed you are going in straight lines during the polishing stage. Is that intentional? instead of a cross pattern. thank you for your input and for posting
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 the osren denim doesnt show up on amazon only their velvet. Carpro are the ones on amazon currently and they have bad reviews.
also idk if you can get this polish in the states, menzerna heavy cut compound 300 and 400. works really well to get 2k scratches out and also gives it a factory gloss at the same time. they also have a 3 in 1 , cut ,polish and wax. granted doesnt cut that much but can bring the old stuff back to life in 1 product.

I do the steps your done, looking much better, CAN I SPRAY MY CAR AGAIN WITH CLEAR AFTER DOING A TOTAL WIPE DOWN ON THE CAR, WITH EVERYTHING YOU DO, BEFORE YOU NORMALY DO BEFORE PAINT?

@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 i started with the fluid wide open and was using the pressure range on the can.

@@KenChambers-v2x no worries. I really try to get the best comparison on camera as possible it's hard to see . The point of the video was not to compare gloss between two sides it was to compare the orange peel
Leave your orange peel alone if you plan on keeping the car because, in time, pores so tiney that you can't see will increase exponentially and youll grow rust from beneath the paint. Your paint will look like as if you painted over rust when it gets bad. Some of that iron-x you spray will actually go down to the bare metal, and not all of it is surface iron that ironx is dealing with. I know it sounds a bit irrational, but I've lived the experience with my own vehicle. I have rust growing beneath perfectly fine looking paint everywhere I messed with the orange peel, and no rust everywhere i left the paint alone. And, yes, where the rust is growing still has clear coat. I also utilize a paint thickness guage.
thats not orange peal, that looks like you missed an overlap pass or 2 to me , from the lighting it looks like a dry edge . It also looks like you have some fish eyes you were trying to burry them and didn't coat the whole hood . 😉😉😉
It's actually due to inconsistency in air pressure as I have explained in many videos. Buy this compressor, attempt to paint an entire car with it, video the results. If you do a better job than me I'll send you a mark1 shine pack on the house no cost
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 OH ok, Yea not having the VOLUME of AIR to push a paint gun is crucial . Have you tried using the Iwata LPH400 , which is low volume low pressure gun?
W.r.t. you want to do a comparison when one side the buffed side is perfectly washed and clean and the other side has particle of etching from buffing the other side on it. Great comparison! NOT!
A little bit yes . But I'm here to show you guys diy videos and help . Iv been on TH-cam for half a decade and after supplies , costs , overhead, iv made no money.
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 best way is clearcoat light then base over clearcoat the clearcoat again very thick wetsand 4 times dry and then get buffer on it but on a da, also be carefull you dont buff through clear, i always wet sand with 240 first then all way to 3000

@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 😮
Do you put a new clear coat on it after buffing out the orange peel? Do you do this step before you paint on a layer of clearcoat?
The buffing and polishing is the final step in the process. If I was to re clear coat it that would be called a flow coat
This looks like a great orange peel solution. Would this remove small nibs while smoothing out the orange peel at the same time? Or would small nibs need to be wet sanded first?
I would sand out the nibs first cause that polisher will just drag the nibs all along the surface potentially turning it into 80 grit sandpaper 😬😬😬😬
Really they been out and about for a long time i only use them to tone down and not to fully remove it. Best way in my opinion will be a combo of wet and dry sanding depending the clear

I really try to get the best comparison on camera as possible it's hard to see .
The point of the video was not to compare gloss between two sides it was to compare the orange peel
Great vid, thanks.
😎😎
Leave your orange peel alone if you plan on keeping the car because, in time, pores so tiney that you can't see will increase exponentially and youll grow rust from beneath the paint. Your paint will look like as if you painted over rust when it gets bad.
Some of that iron-x you spray will actually go down to the bare metal, and not all of it is surface iron that ironx is dealing with.
I know it sounds a bit irrational, but I've lived the experience with my own vehicle. I have rust growing beneath perfectly fine looking paint everywhere I messed with the orange peel, and no rust everywhere i left the paint alone.
And, yes, where the rust is growing still has clear coat. I also utilize a paint thickness guage.
Rust has absolutely nothing to do with sanding orange peel
I wonder who the genius was that tried his ripped denim jeans back in the day, to discover this lol.
Wow cool Idea.
Nice video
Thanks bud!
thats not orange peal, that looks like you missed an overlap pass or 2 to me , from the lighting it looks like a dry edge .
It also looks like you have some fish eyes you were trying to burry them and didn't coat the whole hood . 😉😉😉
It's actually due to inconsistency in air pressure as I have explained in many videos. Buy this compressor, attempt to paint an entire car with it, video the results. If you do a better job than me I'll send you a mark1 shine pack on the house no cost
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 OH ok, Yea not having the VOLUME of AIR to push a paint gun is crucial . Have you tried using the Iwata LPH400 , which is low volume low pressure gun?
Looked more like it was dry spray rather than orange peel
Yea for sure right on the edge of the hood .
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 did you spray it flat or hang it?
Nice!
😎😎😎😎😎🥰
Why does it need doing new cars don't.Just bad spraying.
Let's see you do a better paint job. Any pics of your work?
Brake fluid.
Brake fluid will remove your orange peel.
Good joke
put that cord over your shoulder stop it rubbing up the panels
@@scottdonna2690 true
Nice vid. You're Philly accent is THICK 😂
I'm not even from Philly idk how that happened 🤣🤣🤣
ABSOLUTELY WRONG!!!!, YOU CAN WET SAND AND BUFF 2 COATS OF CLEAR. What do you think you're doing with this pad
Your more than welcome to do that in your shop.
Not doing it in mine
We all have personal preferences in this trade
End of discussion.
W.r.t. you want to do a comparison when one side the buffed side is perfectly washed and clean and the other side has particle of etching from buffing the other side on it. Great comparison! NOT!
I'm very sorry you were dissatisfied. How can I make you feel warm and bubbly on the inside?
@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 do a proper comparison, clean both sides, and then show the difference. Condescending Ass.
come on now ! you wet sanded the paint with a Denim pad
No water man lol
Literally just the denim pad, compound, and polish
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 that wasn't a dry compound or polish !
@@diverdave4056 why are you so mad? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
IM SORTIFIED
I love your channel but them shorts gotta be changes boss man…
@@blakewilkerson9695 🤣🤣 hoochie daddy shorts man.
There comfortable
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 lmao 🤣 do you brotha!
advertising much!!
A little bit yes . But I'm here to show you guys diy videos and help . Iv been on TH-cam for half a decade and after supplies , costs , overhead, iv made no money.
Rubbish! Only sanding removes gun texture.
Let's goooooooo
😎😎😎
you can wetsand and polish 2 coats of lacquer
Do what you want to your car . It's a free world
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 just saying you mention you cant wetsand 2 coats but can lol
@@ceejay777-u6p oh you can
But there's consequences for running the clear coat that thin after sanding it.
But go ahead
@@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937 best way is clearcoat light then base over clearcoat the clearcoat again very thick wetsand 4 times dry and then get buffer on it but on a da, also be carefull you dont buff through clear, i always wet sand with 240 first then all way to 3000
What denin pad do you use? Got a Amazon link?
