If you use a 5000 or higher grit, it's pretty much dummy proof. Literally try it on any part of car followed by 6k, 7k, or 8k then compound, polish, and finish. It's easy process.

@@kiavaxxaskewwhat about going from 1.5k, 2K,3K up to much 5k? I know it’s a lot of work obviously but it’s on my own car. So I don’t mind if I’m over worked. What does the extra 2/3/4k provide? Just easier access to remove the sanding marks? Or is 1.5k to 2k enough like in this video? What I don’t want.. is to finish at 2k, use a wool pad and a DA with a cutting compound and it just doesn’t clear or something goes wrong

Dang I was hoping you would remeasure the paints thickness after all that sanding to see how much was removed.

I agree that would be interesting. But I speculate Larry would not do that, because the loss in overall paint thickness is probably not "that large" - but what you are really interested in would be how much clear coat (in the top layer) is remaining. And I guess there is just no way to tell that, because one will not know, how thick this layer of clear coat was prior to the procedure.

If you wet sand correctly you may lose 5-6um. Personally I wouldn't ever dry sand with 1500 grit. I've wet sanded some cars and panels in the past and had very similar results to the video using 2500 wet sanding. I would generally go to 2000 grit as the lowest and then I'd follow up with 3000 grit. Using 1500 then 2000 and straight to Polishing can leave tiny sanding marks which you aren't getting out with compound and polish. However as Larry says generally wet sanding is a no no - not really any benefits in the real world. I've only done it to repair poorly re painted panels or as experimentation.

Mill thickness gauge measures the entire paint build, not he clear coat thickness. Got to keep that in mind. It’s also a good practice to tape all edges (burnt many an edge) when buffing. Great video love them.

@johnnychimpo7539

This is what I don’t understand. If that gauge measures total thickness then how do they know if there will be any clear coat left after sanding? If they can remove the orange peel then that means that the orange peel is only in the clear coat, right? And they aren’t even sanding green paint ever…just clear?

You can measure an open area and then a door jamb to get an idea of how much clear you’re working with. The door jambs will have the least clear so you know you have between that and the total # to work with. Let’s say it’s 5.5 mils on the car average and 3.2 in the jamb. That means you have 2.3 mills to work with before danger.

What a gorgeous car, that color is unbelievable EDIT: So awesome to find out about this museum when I've got a trip to Newport coming up. Can't wait to check it out!

Great stuff Larry! Beautiful 911 in a great unusual color. I might need to tackle this on my E39 cause I have some etched-in water spots and DA compounding with microfiber and meg 105 isn't doing much :(

Absolutely gorgeous car!

Thanks for the content pal; keep it coming.

Another solid way to determine if your pad is deteriorating is to simply look at the pad. Most high quality pads such as Rupes, 3m actually have vertical or horizontal abrasion patterns. After sanding simply blow off the disc and inspect those patterns to determine how much cutting capability you have left! I used this method also when sanding headlights. You’ll see a noticeable difference in the pads if you regularly inspect them while sanding.

I picked up a few tips, thanks for posting.

Great ,,I have been looking at wet sand ,,tool's ,,I use Rupees,,,and am definitely going to go get wet& dry sand pads,,very Helpful 👍...new Zealand..

Big fan from Pakistan..... best-detailing channel keep up the good work.

I have been waiting for this video for so long

I do a lot of hand wetsanding on deep rids for my job, leveling fresh paint with a pneumatic DA and man the bodyshop guys love their Makita rotary to attack those sanding marks. Killing my wrists after a year, and they've all had multiple surgeries. My 15mm DA with microfiber cutting pad and Rupes' DA Coarse just isnt enough to attack P2000 sanding marks, but hopefully my new Rupes Mille with their new wool pads will. Absolutely love leveling fresh paint for that perfect mirror finish.

I was wondering where to get those new sprayers and finally able to order two of them. Thanks Mr. Larry!

Maybe one day you could try out those new denim and velvet pads. Probably good to compare MRR and time spent. Either way glad you highlighted the fact that it's better to leave orange peel alone in most cases!

Larry the kind of detailer to have a Glickenhaus Boot Baja and a Rimac in for detailing. That's just insane.

Good music upgrade, I like!

Really nice

I am a scale modeller in my free time and I prevent orange peel using additives in the paint like drying retarder. It slows the curing time but it helps the paint to level itself out and also prevent dry paint on the airbrush nosel. Isn't it the same for a larger scale or...? I mean if it's an aftermarket paint I would imagine they use paint enhancers or something.

The best to ever do it 👍

That 210 amg in the end🥰

Great video! Results were absolutely fantastic! Where in CT is your shop?

Good thing you did a paint test :P

I can really appreciate your tutorial on this job. I'm still nervous about doing my 2008 'Vette Velocity Yellow Tintcoat. I've had the car for years, kept it in the garage, and have never done a detailing. Three plus years ago, I made the mistake of parking overnight out of town near a maple tree in the Spring and got some nasty gum on it. Plus, I never cleaned it off properly. So, there are some steps I'll have to take first to get the tree residue off before I can start such a project. But, I also don't want to really spend $1,000+ getting a "professional" to do it since not all detailers are created equal. I know that doing a good job and doing "too much" is a fine line. And, staying away from sharp edges must be at the forefront. I'll probably continue to procrastinate.

@schafer240

I've been doing this for years, fast and easy fix on tree sap or anything nasty, even overspray is to use lacker thinner on a cloth or microfiber, to remove it. Then immediately spray wax and grease remover over double the area you wiped to neutralize the lacker thinner. Don't skip the last step lacker thinner is some nasty stuff and if left it will eat paint. Follow that and it's quick fast and easy, not usually the case.

Suggesting there's a 'ton of paint to work with' based on the paint depth readings on a resprayed car is a bit misleading. Unless you know for a fact that the vehicle you're working on was sanded all the way back to the original substrate before the new paint went down, then it's really just a crap shoot. Sure, you can do your door shut comparisons to get perhaps a bit of insight, but it's still a toss up. Just thought that was worth mentioning! Great video as usual, Larry.

hello, great video, I have a few questions - how many micron do you think the process is removing? - up to what thickness can the process be carried out? I mean the minimum thickness to which you would say to yourself no, this process cannot otherwise we remove all the varnish?

Awesome your in Rhode Island right now wish I could meet you
