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'
This may been 4 yrs ago, but ill tell you i bet “ god willing” this young man is doing big things. This young man is spot on with the info he is giving and very well spoken
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.
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 cannot agree more with many of the comments. Your tutorial is precise well spoken in a extremely informative of all the other videos. I’ve watched on CZcams showing the process of removing orange peel to paint. Well done my young friend!!
Why am I just now seeing this video? Best one yet! Thank you! Very well spoken, very thorough, you answered questions no one else has been able to yet.
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.
Best video on the subject I'm come across. full of useful and vital tips. I got to the 2000 grit stage stage, panicked as it was so foggy...and layed down a new coat of clear. Got orange peel again but now I've seen it go from dull to shiny again on this video its given me confidence to try again.
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.
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.)
Im only a third of the way through your vid and I have learnt more about sanding, and sandpaper than every other video combined I have ever watched on CZcams.
When one combines knowledge with simplicity and the ability of being thorough is when one becomes the master of teaching. You my friend are definitely on point.
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.💪
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.
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.
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 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. 💪
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!!
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.
I'm definitely paying attention to this as being a new guy to this process. I have just finished painting my motorcycle tank and fenders and the side covers. There is some orange peel and I will be using this technique and applying it thanks for all the information..
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!!
This is basically a two step sequence, 2000 grit and then a compound buff - very different from almost every one of the 10 or more videos I’ve watched to remove orange peel. One guy uses 5 different grits of wet sand (1500 up to 5000) then wool buff, then foam buff, washing between each step. His finish was flawless, not just a “match the rest of the paint” type job. This guy’s results look pretty good, but there are higher quality levels out there. I would watch several other videos before settling for a 2 step job. For what it’s worth...
Really great job. Honestly one of the best videos I’ve seen who go into all the details. What would be the best way to get rid of clear coat lines? After removing the tape from a section of the vehicle. Wet sand? Then compound? Then polish?
JosephF1992 thank you! If you are referring to clear coat lines after having a section repainted, I would put a piece of painters tape on the low side of the line, and only sand the high side. I would not chase perfection in that scenario because you might go through the clear before flattening the line. I would highly recommend a paint depth gauge for that job. Yes, compound the sanding scratches out, then polish any hazing caused by the compounding step
This guy taught me more than all this other "detailers" on CZcams 😱
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
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!
^ What he said.
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'
lol,,,,, right!
If Mitch Hedberg delivered wet sand intstructions, without punch lines..much love
Aggreed. Very informative. Thanks for explaining
This deserves way more views
Muuks The Producer thanks!
I agree! seems to me like he knows his stuff
This may been 4 yrs ago, but ill tell you i bet “ god willing” this young man is doing big things. This young man is spot on with the info he is giving and very well spoken

Wow, this is one of the most informative descriptions of wet sanding. Thanks
You had me sold bro. Most informative and methodically explained how-to I’ve ever seen
I learnt more from this 20min video and realised where I was going wrong than all the pros on CZcams. Great info.
I cannot agree more with many of the comments. Your tutorial is precise well spoken in a extremely informative of all the other videos. I’ve watched on CZcams showing the process of removing orange peel to paint. Well done my young friend!!
Why am I just now seeing this video? Best one yet! Thank you! Very well spoken, very thorough, you answered questions no one else has been able to yet.
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
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.

Glad I found this video today. It already saved my freshly painted bonnet that I was going to screw up tomorrow. Bravo!
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.
You the man keep talking and do your thing keep posting more new video for the novice amateur people.
Likely the most thorough video I watched on wet sanding/removing orange peel! Loved it. Thanks.
Jose Urriza thank you!
Excellent tutorial, this guy should absolutely teach classes. Fantastic explanation from start to finish.
Out of the thousands of videos about this subject this one has to be seriously the most informative. Thanks homie !!
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.)
Of course the pun was intended.
I love the amount of detail in this, thank you for all the great tips and explaining everything clearly! Very helpful, thank you!! ❤️
Im only a third of the way through your vid and I have learnt more about sanding, and sandpaper than every other video combined I have ever watched on CZcams.
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!!
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
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." :)
When one combines knowledge with simplicity and the ability of being thorough is when one becomes the master of teaching. You my friend are definitely on point.
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!
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
Wow, just wow. I've never seen such a low production quality yet insanely informative video before. Bravo brother!
I’m only halfway through and this video is by far the most informative deep dive I’ve ever seen. Lol now I know why I’ve ruined so many guitar bodies.
I learned a lot of details no one else discusses. Thanks for the great explanations on clear sanding.
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.💪
I’m so glad I could help! If you have any additional questions, let me know!
One of the best instructional videos!
learned a ton from this dude lol hope this blows up rightfully.
After watching this video, I have followed this channel immediately
Damn dude, you really know your stuff! Thanks for sharing all of this very useful info. You've made a subscriber out of me.
At first I thought, oh great 18 minutes of ramble 2 minutes of the answer. Instead i got the best informative video I could possibly find!
You sir have earned a sub. Great detailed video you cant find elsewhere on youtube
Just found out why I haven’t been able to buff out several deep scratches on a black paint job 🤦🏾♂️ Subbed ✔️ good stuff
Outstanding - learned so much more compared to some other videos as I am just about to begin a project.

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.

Great and informative video, you are a natural teacher - subbed.
Great explanation!!!!

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?
Thanks dude. very informative. You're pretty smart.
I learned a lot from this video thanks man.
