How many people are interested in learning how to wet sand?

[Jimmy Vegas]

I am definitely interested in learning. I've been toying with the idea of going to a junkyard and getting a deck lid to practice correction, sanding, painting and finishing on. Just a skill set I would like to have. (And there is a spot on my Chevelle that does need it.)

That's the Book! I am getting ready to do a full paint correction on my 13 BMW 650iXdrive GC (Black Sapphire Metallic). I would never have been able to do that without your book and the help of this forum. I used to wash my white Altima with a truck brush once a month whether or not it needed it. Now I have about half the products you sell here to use. After all, Black is a career, not a color.

Congrats on the BMW Andy!

Perhaps put together a Show 'N Shine and share on the outcome of your work.

#1 and 2# for me. Just like any skill, its better to have it than not.

Thanks for the encouragement, Mike. Later this fall I am going to do a full paint correction on it with Pinnacle swirl remover and finishing polish and Das Original (3401) I will take lots of pics and post. I had pretty good results on the top and trunk deck and I think I am ready to do the whole car. I have been putting Pinnacle Souvran paste wax on, but I am thinking about a ceramic coating. Any suggestions?

Good to hear.

I'm currently using Pinnacle Black Label Surface Coating on our Mercedes-Benz SL 500 with the Ceramiclear paint finish and I absolutely love it.

1. The car stays cleaner longer.
2. The exterior cleans easier and faster when I wash it.
3. The exterior dries faster when I dry it.
4. The paint looks great, real glassy and feels slick and slippery to the touch.

The key to applying a coating is to first prep the paint correctly and then wash and dry the paint correctly and safely.

These topics would be better for their own dedicated thread if you want to continue discussion instead of talking about these topics in a thread and poll about wet sanding.

How many people are interested in learning how to wet sand?


When I say wet sand, I mean learning both how to wet sand by hand and wet sand by machine.


1. Are you interested in learning the basic techniques just so you have the skill set but don't actually plan on doing any wet sanding.


2. Would you like to know how to wet sand but hope you never have to do any wetsanding?


3. Sometime in the future you have that special car project in the garage and at some point it will get painted and then you want to do the wet sanding and buffing instead of letting the shop do it?




Vote in the poll and also reply to this thread and state which of the three scenarios I listed best describe you.


Thank you.

i think all three would be accurate for me. id be to afraid of going through the clearcoat on the car i have now, but if i get the hood and front bumper painted this summer like i want to then i would def want to do the sanding myself if it needs it

I think I'm a #2. And thanks for all you do for us.
