Well, if anyone's still not pursuaded by the benefits of wet-sanding then they never will. The ridiculous level of improvement in smoothness and reflectivity from the original orange-peel laden bumper is beyond words. Absolutely amazing result. I learn a lot from your videos PoV and this is another one to add to the armoury of knowledge. Cheers!

Too scary to take too much clear coat off if you don't have a lot to begin with, they're expensive and time consuming to reclear, tape up entire car again, etc. Sometimes even 2000 sandpaper takes off a lot. I guess sandpapers are all different by different brands.

Damn right wet sanding is the only technique to get that show finish and of coarse the polishing after , I always put a little soap in my water
You’re a proper craftsman, a pleasure to watch and learn, thank you, Sir.

Jus came across you videos, painting aircraft wingtips spinner and eventually the fuselage with acrylic urethane single stage and was looking for a was to cut and buff, good video. Simple and to the point. Cheers.
Probably the best video I've seen so far. Tried your techniques on my car door that had some orange peel and it now looks absolutely perfect.
Had the exact awful respray on my bumpers. Followed your instructions to the T. My God the poor paint work now looks better than OEM! Thank you so much for educating me/us 🙏🏼❤️

This video is so good , i have bought exactly the same mop and thought it would be rubbish and now after watching you , and CLEAR instructions with no edits at important parts I say THANK YOU I have a black car as well and will be doing this to save a respray on the door Nice one for taking time to explain clearly to us who are not professional and giving in depth information All the best to you sir
Wow what an unbelievable finish! Thanks so much for the tutorial I shall be using this on my Merc in the coming days, wish me luck, if it comes out half as good I'll be delighted
Cheers, ive been struggling with trying to find a cutting compound that actually tells u what grit sand paper to use prior to the polish (rather than marketing shite) and knowing how much time to spend on each section with the polisher. U cleared it all up and im off to buy stuff and then re-polish a car I bought a week ago.
Great video and great detail. Thanks very much for showing the whole process.
Love the video matey , your so real and simply explained for anyone understand, well done bro ,really enjoyed it

Thing is, people are afraid to do this, as putting sandpaper - even high-grit wet sandpaper - to a car's paint freaks people out. But your video is so detailed, it gives me the confidence to at least try it. Very well done!

Tried it last weekend on my car's tailgate (it was resprayed by the previous owner)... Came out like a mirror and now I have to proceed on the whole car because I love the finishing, that is better than the original paint one. One important thing: if you don't have a VERY aggressive polishing compound, the first pass with the buffing machine will disappoint you. After the initial panic, you can simply try with another pass. And another one. Very time consuming process, but very effective at the end!

That video was great thanks..just did a new panel on an audi. First attempt at flatting used 2000, 3000 then G360 then AutoGlym super resin Polish but still a haze. Watching this looks like I didn't cut the peel deep enough to start. Can I just restart and cut again with 1500 now though? Kept getting dry circles with the G360 using my cheapish DA. Any advice would be great. One thing missing was when reloading pad, do you have to clean between adding more product, if so how? DIYer @ home. Thanks for the video was great 👍👌
Can u list the products plz? I really enjoyed this video and now I wanna try this on my car

Great clip, simple to the point and clear. You’re a good instructor. What about how much lacquer is on the panel and not removing too much? I may have a go on our seventeen year old Fabia which had a very average paint repair on some damage on a door.

Should never use a bucket chances are you will pick up some contamination and scratch the paint, best to use spray bottle with warm soapy water
Use a hybrid silkwool pad at speed setting 1 and u can cut that 1500 grit sanding right up. You dont want heat or pressure when cutting or polishing today's clearcoat. Laquer paint from years ago, you would benefit from heat during polishing. Friction and abrasives are the only factors in polishing now
Thanks for the video. Will the sheen fade away if you wash the car a few times?
You should do a pricing video and how u price jobs! Good job !

Excellent watching you do this. I've just bought a new car and there's some minor swirl marks in the topcoat. Just to get rid of swirl marks would you recommend using the G360 or if they are light swirls would you try just seeing if they'd buff out with polish/polishing pad first ? I've watched some of your stone repair videos too. Really excellent advice. I got rid of them totally

Hi Steven. www.paintgear.co.uk sell g360 snd also they do a polishing pad pack... it can be possible to use the g360 on a soft pad to refine the swirls from a cutting pad

I'm following this process on my GSXR nose cone after a crap respray. I work for an automotive product company so I have all compounds and polishes needed, do i start with stage 2 compound or stage 1 abrasive?
Ive used that g360 and like how it finished down but I find it has a short working time and is dusty when used with DA in Australia. Switched to 3D 500.

do we need repeat this often? what happens winters when can do this my paint will be look muggy? since cant compound? and what about car wash is it not gonna remove this layer?

Can I wet dry a base coat of the original till I get to the original clear coat. The base coat was applied on top of the clear coat
I have paint touch up that came and said it needs clear. Can you do this process over clear?
Would you have to clear coat this aswel ?
So after everything is done you put any ceramic coating around it
How long should one wait after painting before sanding and cutting if you're doing a garage paint job?
how long do you wait after paining clear coat can you start sanding?
Love the videos mate! Very informative. What's the best way to get into smart repair properly painting and scuff repair. Any course recommendations? Cheers

They need to be thoroughly polished out. Alot of people don't polish enough
How about turning on polishing lights? 😄 I believe that some sanding marks and holograms will be still there 🙂
This a very informative video, however, have you or would you produce a video guide for repairing deep scratches you can feel with your fingernail? the type of damage caused by a keying, shrubbery, or more commonly the reckless supermarket trolley!

Really like the real world attitude here. Not everyone has 40 buffers and 100 polishes and a thousand pads doing a 6 bucket wash process. I bet most internet experts would be delighted with a 1 stage cut/polish frankly!
