Wet Sanding and Buffing
Wet Sanding and Buffing paint (also known as Color Sanding) is by far the most commonly pursued option when it comes to correcting paint imperfections or restoring gloss to avoid the high price of a professional autobody shop. When done right, a proper wet sand will reduce the use of compounds and emanate a more pronounced shine after buffing. Applications for this type of service are normally used for gloss restoration, scratch removal and reduction, removing orange peel appearance, paint etching (caused by bird droppings, acids and similar caustic substances), clear coat reduction (autobody), or just getting that perfect flat water appearance. In this Wet Sanding and Buffing Paint demonstration, I facilitate the sanding process with a bare hand behind the sand paper. In my experience, hands can more easily differentiate pressure while sanding blocks can create gouging. Novice or first timers are highly advised to use sanding blocks with a light touch until confidence and experience is gained to facilitate efficiency. Avoid doom and disaster by practicing on body parts that you can obtain by your local auto salvage yards before attempting to offer this service and test variuos products to ascertain your working fashion. Style of work may vary from person to person so take heed on this valued information.
