  • As an auto detailer, and owner of my own business. I must say, you did a nice job, and good tutorial for people. Just one comment...i was taught to always keep the pad flat. Will tilting it at an angle really affect anything? Like leave swirls?

  • @SICAL808, a lot of times by leaving the pad flat you will notice it may start to jump around on you a lot and then you wont be hitting spots of the surface evenly. By tilting "slightly" will help to create the rotary from jumping around.

  • You should sand in one direction, and check often before you sand too much of the clear paint. Start out with 2000 grit and see how effective it was. Move ton1500 if necessary. Be sure to compound and polish afterwards.

  • will this remove scratches that i got from branches on hedges? i cant feel it with my nail at all and it is barley noticable now but it is still driving me crazy

  • @macintosh659 It could but have a professioanl do it though.

  • Is 1500 grit sand paper ok or is 2000 better?

  • @tmorales509 It depends on how deep the scratches are. 1500 is more aggressive the the 2000. Start with the 2000 first and see how it does.

  • when you wet sand, should you sand in any certain direction? up and down, back and forth? or in a circular direction? seems I always like a circular direction when I'm working with my metalworking stuff (not cars) -- plan on using a 2000 paper and taking it easy to start. thanks.

  • what if i have some scratches all over the car? what is recommended? do i paint the entire car if i want? or just where the scratches are?

  • The words "Removal of clear coat" scare me.

  • @detailking01 nice job but were can i get the compound and glaze prodouct from? thanks

  • Wow, very nice job! If I did it, I'd probably take the paint off. I'll leave it up to the pros to do it.
