What's color sanding?

[hernandez.art13]

I've color sanded to "mirror finish" it was great. It was a green Al Bundy type classic car. Like Pimps drive. Not a Cadillac more like a Chrysler idk. Lightly hit it with 1000, then 1500, 2000, 2500 then finally finished it with 3000. Only the 3000 was damp sand everything else was dry using the DA, microfiber towel and spray bottle to wipe off the dust.
(The Owner didn't order it, I just thought it would be fun to try) I was all proud...!
I couldn't wait till the owner came and picked it up to see my work. He just said "ok thanks" and drove off...

I have been dry sanding since the waterbug. Maybe 14 years ago? typically using a hard 3M stick it 6" pad. I didn't mean to say I felt the interface pad was better, there's no doubt its letting the paper follow highs & lows even more. Its just less dangerous for the average user.
I'm not at all afraid of the standard pad, thats how I cut my teeth dry sanding. The last car I sanded was a driver, I just wanted the peel gone, so interface pad worked ok for that. something different so I thought I would try it I should have worded that better

You don't need to buy the more expensive clearcoat, I use automotive touchup clear all the time, but you need several coats of it before you start to go sanding. I would suggest:
one coat of primer,
2 to 3 coats of base very thin,
three coats of clear,
then 3000 grit,
and then finish out with a rotary with a hybrid wool pad
then Meguires 105 and 205 on an orbital with a medium pad.

I get amazing results. A corvette console I did a few years ago with atouchup products.

These are before and after photos of a a black hood that I leveled some orange peel on after a respray...pretty much speaks for itself. If done correctly, the results are simply astonishing. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180520/1f855fe834a82d3a1e10d783af4d7acd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180520/4f731ca090b7c53c3d483c3ed30bf11c.jpg
