    I'm a detail shop manager at a Toyota dealership. We don't normally do wet or dry sanding. But if we do it's prep for ceramic coating. This is the video I recommend to my guys to watch to get the basic feel of wet sanding. The rest of my training I demonstrat on old wholesale cars. Lol

    I finally got my dream job. Kinda.. I'm an industrial powder coater and liquid painter. We do lots of big commercial vehicles such as combines, field sprayers, grain bins trunking, etc. We've also been taking in a lot of car parts. My foreman just completely fixed the body on one of our office employees cars. I've been watching him as he works and asking questions to learn more. The car came out beautifully! Better than 2022 cars and trucks right off the lot. I feel like I need to take more time to learn about the more intricate parts of painting. It's been a life saver. I've been dealing with a lot lately and getting suited up and masked with a paint gun in my hand has alleviated a lot of stress. I'm hoping that I learn quick enough to do more of the intricate jobs like my foreman gets to do. As for now, I'll finish my 97 cvt challenger "terra gator" row sprayer and attempt to use the information gathered from this video on it. I hope it comes out good! The crew and I have 112 hours of labor on this beast and we're just now getting to the primer.

  • @juliaallen7149

    I purchased a used one as the piece is a bit pricey, but the machine th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6fbm3cHBd7CNTjk5D-dwYe9c9tCB9ZN has surpassed my expectations. We sand small parts by hand often, sized around 1"x1/2," and specifically look for a piece that's designed to be vertical. The motor has plenty of torque and great speed settings. The only inconvenience I had is that the disk measures 5" where we trim 6" stick-and-sand disks down easily by mounting it then cutting with a box cutter.

    Hey Sandro! You are the man! It’s mind blowing the results you can achieve from wet sanding. You could barely see the metallic flacks in the paint before you started. Honestly, I didn’t notice the flacks at all till the end. 😁 I just love the art of detailing. Your canvas, your creation, your masterpiece! Love it 😊 Good day mate...

    I appreciate you doing it in sections like this. I’ve watched several other videos and they show the before after product but this showed me how much extra clarity you get from the polish after the compound. I feel less afraid after watching this hoping my first attempt works well. I’ve been doing homework on this for 2 days 🤪 I wish I had a panel to practice on

  • @peterjurenovskis5933
    @peterjurenovskis5933 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Sandro, Another great video! I guess that the determination to wet sand vs. compound depends on a couple of things: the depth of the imperfections, the degree of defect removal desired, the time you have to work this, and the amount of money the customer has. From my experience, always use the least aggressive method first, then gradually work your way to wet sanding. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for this video. I had a car which had Adams "paint sealant" put on the door with the result that there was a chalky white film which looked terrible. Compound didn't touch it so I gritted my teeth, got a sanding block and started with 1000 grit paper and a hose.
    White stuff came off with the water, after 2 passes I switched to 2000 grit, then 2500. Less white stuff but paint looked terrible. Then compound, 2 passes, then polish, 2 passes. Door looks infinitely better, finished it off with a coating of carnuba wax.
    Your video gave me the confidence that there was a chance the paint wouldn't be destroyed, and to be honest I had nothing to lose anyway. Now car is back to happy!
