Wet sanding part 2 Bad scratches

[tint bandit]

This truck had enough paint on it to do the xtreme cut job so the truck wouldnt have to be painted...This process takes a little longer and will make a mess of your shop and you 98 Dodge Dakota is the project

Believe it or not the truck was cleaned up and the guy tried to wet sand "for the first time" and didnt have the right equipment or knowledge so we are going to get it all straitened out

I wouldnt do this for the public just tell them to get it painted,but the dealers dont complain if I cause a little marring once in a blue moon

here is the 1200 3m paper

Sorry,that was a place the person that cleaned it forgot to pull the bench seat down to clean Here we go

This backing pad is important to give some cushion, : so the palm sander isnt just digging into the paint

Here is the combo we will use after water sanding ...Got a Birthday party to go to so I'll finishing posting later

Micro compound by 3M is one of the best compounds made in my opinion...the only draw back is the dust and mess,compared to a lot of compounds that dont work as good but are less messy This product with the 3M foam is the first step after watersanding...after the micro,use the Finesse with a poly synthetic polishing pad after wiping down surface with micro towel and quick detailer...after buffing with the Finesse ,wipe surface with new micro towel and quick detailer....next 3M Perfect-it Tri cut glaze and swirl remover and a 3M black waffle pad....last I always use Pro's yellow wax as the oils in it give a shine that when topped over the glaze is just stunning.....Off to the finance company she goes Tip before putting on wax blow out all your cracks with the air hose

I use a spagetti pad instead of the yellow poly syn just easier to get in tight places because of the 5 inch size compared to the average 7 inch pad

The 3M Glaze and the black pad are a must as a final buff...if not the swirls will be noticeable and your gloss will not be as good as it can be I use a small 4 inch black pad also with the 7 inch black waffle to get the tight areas ...can never have to many pads
