My brother, thank you for sharing your knowledge. In the 80’s I painted and polished cars. Now that I’m retired, I’m going it again, but as a hobby. I can’t believe how much it has changed, and the availability of product is out there, especially polishers/ buffers. WOW

I have just repainted my toyota 4x4 and there is a lot of orange peel. I have watched numerous how-to videos on how to remove the peel and polish the finish, and this is the best one by far. Going to give it a try tomorrow. Wish me luck. - JAMES

@@Russell_and_Rosko It went very well. There is still some Orange peel on the top and on the hood, but the rest ot the body is smooth and has a mirror finish. My truck is white, so there is no clearcoat. I would have finished the hood and roof, but ran out of compound.

Very systematically done. Well done mate. I never heard people talking about the flattened tops of the orange peel but this gentleman. You are very meticulous.

Fifty years ago some folks said orange peel paint was a sign of quality I am told! How do car makers, turning out hundreds of car a week get around this problem? Very good explanatory video, well presented and illustrated. Thanks for this.

Very informative! thanks! This helps a lot with my Orange Peel on my quarter panels of my 59 Plymouth.

This is by far the best instructional video I have seen on removing orange peel and then buffing the paint. Great step by step and you didn't leave anything out. I am getting ready to do this on a car that I just painted (my first paint job) and it has a lot of orange peel so this is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Nice work. I have found that when using 3M or Meguiars products there is still usually the need to compound more than once. The compound really does the work.

Wow! You did a great job on that door panel. I have been an auto detailer all my life and now in my late 50's. It was easier back in the day to wet sand, compound and buff, polish color on cars before base/clear became the norm. I am repainting a '74 model car now in my home garage and will use base/clear. I found your video to be very informative since this is my first paint job and I am already expecting orange peel because of my lack of experience.

@@RepairRefinishTV Piggy-backing on garth's comment - in this video are you bringing down orange peel on a clear coat? Like, if your colour coat (in my case acrylic) is a bit orange-peely, but the top coat is good and flat, will it still look orange-peely? Or do I need to flatten the colour coat before using a clear coat? Thanks and truly excellent video!

Blahblahblah Blah I believe flatting the clear is all that is required, but I’m not a painter, nor do I have experience in this field, but the reflection that you see when looking at a glassy surface comes from the outside face as the light bounces back at you... at least that’s how it works in my mind haha

All the boutique products out there which didn't exist until the detailing industry exploded in the early 2000s and you can still get the best results you're ever gonna get from good old G3.

This method would save a lot of sanding by hand, as the machine does the sanding work for you. I started buffing out used cars for car dealers in 1976. At that time the paint was all single stage lacquer or enamel. Now that I have issues with herniated discs in my back, this could save me a lot of pain!

The 3000 is to remove the scratches from the 2000g, then is good for polishing, if you polish right after 2000 there will be Mark that the compound and the buffer can't remove

Thanks for the video mate

I prefer wet sanding. I mix a gallon of water and 2-3 ounces Gold Class soap and spray the panel to lubricate it. It keeps the panel and sandpaper cleaner in between rinses. Paper seems to last longer as well. I like to finish with 5000 grit to remove any tics left by 3000.

I want to advice me which type and model of sprayer can buy to do good job ,,thank you for your video

Thanks great info

i like it ,, its a great example

nice job !

Very good..👍👍

Great video,what was the speed when cutting and polishing, thanks

great video, thank you

Muy práctica para trabajos grandes

good video, thanks.

1500 wet flat g3 cutting compound and then g10 and nice wax polish do same job on fresh paint

Very difficult to get acrylic or nitrocellouse lacquer in the US.* That's how I started out over 45 years ago painting, sanding, & rubbing out lacquer. I prefer urethane. Rarely get orange peel. Enamel? Oh yeah! Lots of orange peel This door panel came out nice. Red paint expensive over there? Is here. Good job. TIP Rub the substance in before you buff it out. Compound, polish..etc Eliminates a lot of detailing * I realize for Concours Grade Shows lacquer was the original paint and must be original...etc

Parfait , merci beaucoup

Amazing

You great man

after all the sanding is done is there enough clear to be satisfactory. Im a beginner that paints outside so get shit job but put 5 coats and sand 2 back to flatten,I waste alot of clear but it turns out ok

Great video. What is the thickness of the coating before and after? Do you know how much of the clear coat you've taken off with this process? Also would a woolpad in combination with heavy cutting compound (eg. Menzerna fg400) do a similar job?

Just completed a bumper repair, using K2 clear over silver base. Some sections are like glass, not like the rest of the car. Is respraying K2 with K2 ok to do ? Hopefully then leaving some orange peel which can be cut and buffed so not glassy.

Is dry sanding it better than wet if your doing it by hand

thanks

So what if you can’t bring the shine back to normal ? Do I have to re clear coat It ????

Do I use this identical method for removing Lemon peel 😁 But seriously excellent video very informative 👍

Nice video. So the orange peel was on the lacquer coat and not the paint? Do you get orange peel on the paint job which needs to be fixed before the lacquer? Thanks

Great video and the end result is nice..for me it has to be the worst part of the re finishing side of it Also pressing to hard with the polisher causes the paint to heat up and swell the scratches up giving a false finish then when it cools the scratches re appear resulting in another polish thank f@@k I only panel wack

So just so I don't have to watch a bunch of other videos.. You painted the panel with a few coats, then clear coat it a few times maybe 3, then you wet sand the orange peel, and use buffing compound to bring the shine back?

I would of hit the whom door lightly with 3000 just to feather the sanding areas out. Sometimes, in the sun, you can see where you started and stopped sanding. Its a flatter finish. Did you say laquer it again? Not to much laquer painting anymore.

Hi I have a question and really could use the help. I painted my car recently. I think I did overall a good job but can see orange peel around the whole vehicle. I washed it and the car looked like glass but then when it dried it turned back to orange peel. Any thoughts on how I could fix this? Thank you

I never knew there was some much that went into peeling an orange.

excellent video thank you !

nice video man keep up the great work. I also love to paint , from small touch up jobs all the way to full builds. when I buff one out I do the same process as you do but when I'm buffing the g3, I'll buff it in good with a few swipes then I'll use a spray bottle to spray onto the area that I'm buffing to help keep the compound nice and moist and it also helps keep the paint a little cooler. just was wondering why you didn't do that step with your buffing style. nothing wrong with your style I was just wondering. thanks and again nice work.
