Guest egiblock Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I've seen some posts here, but I thought I'd post my own cause I have some questions of my own.. we just cleared the truck. I'll post a picture here soon.. it's been 24 hours and I want to clean it up a bit. the process that we did. painted with 3 coats of black. cleared with 3 coats wetsanded with 600 cleared again with 2 heavy coats ---- now I want to wetsand with 1500 and 2000. the questions: 1. how much should I wetsand the clear with 1500 and 2000 ? 1.1) I'm expecting a dull finish, after using the 1500 and 2000, correct ? 2. after those steps, I have a turtlewax rubbing compound I planned on using on what I just wetsanded. so I'll apply it, and then use a buffer somewhere around 1700rpm and a wool buffer pad to remove the compound. 3. then polish ? here's a pic... it looks good, but there was a lot of items floating around in the air that I want to get rid of. plus I have other spots of the truck that I have to blend together ..

solareclipseauto Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 use 3m perfect it compound with the wool pad and then polish it with 3m perfect it machine glaze and 3m finese it glaze with a black pad. I buff with the buffer at about 3k but be casrefull if you havent done it before because you might burn the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tint bandit Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Use a waterhose on a mist spray ..use a sanding block with 1500 and sand horizonaly stay off corners...then use 2000 grit verticle right after.....dull finish yes...any highlights need to be knocked down w/2000 again...now clean finish good as you do in every step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tint bandit Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 3m micro compound will work faster whennwetsanding...Solar is correct for just buffing I use 3m Finesse compound with yellow wool after the 2000 or if 1500 was all that was used...... I then use a white wool I then use a 3m white waffle with a good swirlmark remover...then same with a 3m black waffle...Then use a DA with 3m black waffle 5 inch pad with a good glaze for a mile deep gloss ...no seal or wax for 30 to 60 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
