WOW! Thank you so much for taking the fear out of that correction. Its like getting professional classes online for detailing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Great video man! Man those rid sticks are really cool!!! I was scared to wet sand, but after playing around it's not as hard as I imagined. Hard part is taking slow steps and really checking your work. Car came out great at the end 🤙 great tutorial as well.
Glad to see you opening up and sanding more. I know in your previous videos you seemed a little reluctant to wet sand. At times, its easier to wet sand to remove defects. Great video Phil.
Well , I've wet sanded before Its not new to me...I just don't always need to. I only wet sand small areas when necessary and try to leave as much clear as possible and not worry about small defects that don't come out completely. I'd rather preverse clear coat. What do you mean I was reluctant in other videos?
@@MirandaDetailing if I'm not mistaking, which I might be, I've seen you mention that wet sanding wasn't your thing and that you didn't really like it or just made you uncomfortable. I could be wrong but I thought it was one of your videos you put out. I think its a great thing detailers learn how to wet sand to take out some of those hard to get defects. We all need to learn our limitations. I know I burned throw plenty of paint in my career over the years and as the cars paint get thinner and thinner it just makes that much more difficult. It wasn't an insult at all, I'm not the type of person to throw insults around. I have the rid Stix as well, I use them for a variety of tasks. As a matter of fact I'm working on a 2010 GMC Terrain right now. Its ceramic coat failed. So I'm stripping it and some defects were left on the bottom of it that I had to take out.
nicely demo'd sir, takes a lot of concern out of the whole issue of using sandpaper on your paintwork, well done. explained simply and straightforward to make it less intimidating.
Neat little sticks, still haven't tried them. I've always just improvised my blocks.. for those little spots smaller than a 3" disc block, I use old coating blocks cut in different sizes. They work really well, have a bit of cushion and you can easily bevel/shape the edges to your hearts content.. 👍👌✌
R.I.D. stix are definitely a great tool to have and have used them. Keeping it simple and affordable(Meguiars)is the way to go. You did a great job on the demo👍🏻. Results are going to vary based on the users' skill level. In my case not so much. I didn't "finesse" very well and "compromised" my clear coat. It is a balancing act of light pressure, knowing when to stop and leaving good enough alone. Knowing about your paint type (soft)too couldn't hurt. #Mister
great video again Phil.Brain from apex detailing thought me wet sanding. love doing it when paint rest hammered.it keeps clear coat cooler than mo down method. I use trizac disks.b well
Awesome! Yes it does keep paint cooler, I keep my compounding cycles very short so as not to heat the paint up...Thats why I love products that work fast.
My employer sells these. I need to get some for sure. They are a Re-Clean distributor as well as Rupes and other miscellaneous detailing and body shop products. If you get the opportunity,try Re-Clean brand detailing products.they work really well
Hi. Only if necessary. I always try to compound scratches first. Sometimes heavy overspray has to be wet sanded also. It all depends on the situation. I don’t always wet sand, if a scratch really stands out I’ll then try to wet sand it out.
I have a deep rock Scratch and it chipped the paint off by my Fog lights on my MDX 2022 I was going to by the paint pen but I don’t know if that’s good or not and I need to know how to make a scratch more smoothly to re paint over
Not really. I use the Uro fiber discs a lot now and on soft black paint like this it leaves lots of marring behind, even with proper technique. I have found that on softer black paint the Uro fiber discs cut very well but don’t finish down enough for me.
Miranda Detailing Thanks Phil, I appreciate your experience with the 50/50. I will scrutinize more when I work with soft dark colors. It just always seemed to haze very little if any on older or hard clear coat which is the bulk of my hobby side income.....#knowledgeispower Appreciate your time you dedicate to us !!
Well I once again got a mis targeted ad for bras before this video...they really need to step up their big brother butts on me I feel left out with all these people who say they get ads about things they said outloud :p never happens to me
It depends. If they can live with it that’s what I recommend. It’s not always good to have to bring it to a body shop and risk them messing up on a paint job.
Miranda Detailing thanks very much! Either way, your not the one potentially messing up the paint if they want it fixed. Just trying to understand a good policy on this kind of repair, as I’m just starting out. Thanks again!
Yeah they are...I don't worry about orange peel, clear coat is getting thinner these days. If its orange peel I leave that alone. If it's on a repaint maybe. But I will only wet sand small areas, never entire panels or vehicles.
@@MirandaDetailing I always get highlighted comments from top channels, yeah, I understand your focus is mostly on practical detailing, orange peel removal is more sort of body shop work, it would be nice to brake that barrier with some sort of easy procedure.

You are so welcome!
I recently bought the KXK sticks and was very impressed with them.

To be honest. You’re the only one who shares technique as me keeping it simple!!
I use the same method myself!
Thanks!!
Love my R.I.D. stix !! Great tools

Aw man! Yeah I always tread lightly, I only leave wet sanding as last resort.
Nice and helpful vid Phil. Good job
Really good video, thank you Phil. It would be great if you could do more wet sanding/ scratch removal videos, this video was very helpful.
Génial !! Merci pour cette vidéo 👍🏻😉
Great information, good job
Another awesome video brother........
Great video man! Very informative
Thanks!
OK....Thx for your advise
great video again Phil.Brain from apex detailing thought me wet sanding. love doing it when paint rest hammered.it keeps clear coat cooler than mo down method. I use trizac disks.b well

Hi Phil...When would you consider & decide to wet sand ?
Hi. Only if necessary. I always try to compound scratches first. Sometimes heavy overspray has to be wet sanded also. It all depends on the situation. I don’t always wet sand, if a scratch really stands out I’ll then try to wet sand it out.
Hi...Did you use the FOAM DISC or the CLEAR COAT SANDING DISC ?
Hi. Not sure what you mean. I had these wet sanding discs from Meguiars.
Not bad how much are the stixs ? I do a lot of wet sanding for my job at Porsche. New Porsche. Come with paint defects
Check out the links below. They have a few different size kits also.
Cat Police here. The Mister Quota has been fulfilled at this time. No violations have occurred here. Move along.
🤣
I have a deep rock Scratch and it chipped the paint off by my Fog lights on my MDX 2022
I was going to by the paint pen but I don’t know if that’s good or not and I need to know how to make a scratch more smoothly to re paint over
Hi. This may help ruclips.net/video/AjZomaRBdqo/видео.html
So it's the cat that makes the scratches so you can wetsand them out. Whatever keeps you busy dude 🤣
😂😂. Yup He keeps me busy!
bought that pack on autogeek for 16$ thank you :)
Do you wetsand when filling in paint chips with touch up paint?
Sometimes I do. But not all the time.
You could have avoided hazing if you would have used Euro Fiber 50/50....would have been just as effective....thoughts ?
Not really. I use the Uro fiber discs a lot now and on soft black paint like this it leaves lots of marring behind, even with proper technique. I have found that on softer black paint the Uro fiber discs cut very well but don’t finish down enough for me.
Miranda Detailing Thanks Phil,

😆Thats so strange...Maybe I put it there! 😂
Mister always looking for a photo op.
Yup! As usual!
Is this one on factory paint ?
Yes it was.
Can this method used on overspray also?
@MirandaDetailing Can this method used on overspray also?
do you ever use a lower grit than 3000?
Yeah. 2500 is the lowest I ever need to go.
Miranda Detailing so if lower than 2500 is needed do you recommend the customer needs to get the scratch fixed at a body shop or love with it?
It depends. If they can live with it that’s what I recommend. It’s not always good to have to bring it to a body shop and risk them messing up on a paint job.
Miranda Detailing thanks very much! Either way, your not the one potentially messing up the paint if they want it fixed. Just trying to understand a good policy on this kind of repair, as I’m just starting out. Thanks again!
Those sticks are great... I bet you are ready for some orange peel removal video. Machine 3 inches pad 3000, 5000, . Super fast,
Yeah they are...I don't worry about orange peel, clear coat is getting thinner these days. If its orange peel I leave that alone. If it's on a repaint maybe. But I will only wet sand small areas, never entire panels or vehicles.
