    Re: How Much do you charge to wetsand a vehicle?

    My main concern here is for you guys ......................wet sanding is not the answer for making a car show quality. I reserve wet sanding in only extreme measures, or you have a stubborn scratch that polishing won`t remove.

    If you work on your buffing technique,speed ,pressure and pattern and compound variations is all you need to get a true show car look. wet sanding is "NOT" for the novice !

    Re: How Much do you charge to wetsand a vehicle?

    To ease your concerns (haha) - I`ll go out and say that I only really wetsand when I do something like paint touch ups. I`ve never really wetsanded an entire car, but I know folks who have and it takes a lot longer than a couple of hours to get it done (right). In all fairness, while you can be a great polisher jockey, there`s just some things you need to use the paper for if you`re going to be a serious detailer I think. That`s just my opinion, so take it for what it`s worth.
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.

    you guys.................... it takes me 2 -3 hours to wet sand a car , sorry ! I have been wet sanding cars since I was 14 I am now 52, sorry it takes you longer. how ever it takes me any where from 3- 6 hours to do the polishing and sometimes longer, but not 3 days as the other dude says it takes him to do the "JOB RIGHT "

    With that kind of turn around on sanding, it`s a shame you`re not in the auto body/painting world. You`ve really missed your calling.

    EDIT: After reading your second post there, it seems like you have some sort of chip or better than you attitude... What`s that all about?

    I read what I could on the site - No one has said you don`t know what you`re doing. We are just questioning how you can do something so quickly. I know some damn good painters, and using DA`s they can`t do a sanding job to satisfaction in a couple of hours - not to mention the final hand sanding with high grit paper.

    You gotta understand, there`s probably at least one or two guys a month that come on here making the incredulous claims. People are gonna question that. You being all defensive instead of describing your process and such doesn`t help.

    Re: How Much do you charge to wetsand a vehicle?

    whatever................ not defensive just it is what it is. I do n`t use a DA, too time consuming plus I like to feel the paint when I sand, your finger tips are your guide. I learned from some folks that did this long before me, and I listen to people that know what they know, that is how you become the best.

    and true detailer , I see your a mobile detail out fit , well that`s all good , but I hope the environmental guys don`t get after you. where is your water recycler ?
    I am not boasting on here as I am very humble about what I know about paint on cars. and I do not appreciate the comments that i ma some fly by night shop. I will be happy to match expertise with any of you guys any day

    Re: How Much do you charge to wetsand a vehicle?

    Didn`t think I would stir everybody up with this post..But maybe we could get back on topic with this, How often do you get somebody asking you for a wetsand. Is it more of a service that you need to go out and market yourself by finding somebody with a show car that really needs it, or do people just come to you asking for it? Like I said I have done a few spot wetsands on scratches so this is nothing I could do soon but if I wanted to learn more in depth can anybody recommend me to a DC member or training class in my area
