Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to some work for you today on Expert Village. Now the base coat has had a few minutes to dry and Tony's going to touch up any little imperfections. Honest to goodness this paint has been sitting for about seven or eight minutes. Just long enough for Tony to take off his clean suit. He's got some finer sandpaper there, wet or dry paper, and he's just going to visually go over anything and sand out any little imperfections. If there was dirt in the sealer, if there's any bodywork that needs attention, it'll show up here. You use the wax and grease remover as a lubricant. You don't want to sand with fine sandpaper without some sort of lubricant, water or something. But since this paint is only a few minutes old the was and grease remover does a real good job of keeping the paper clean. So he's gone around the impala and sanded all the imperfections at this point."
