    Does this look like I burned through the clear?

    For what I did to get rid of the sanding marks,I tried to use CG V38 and lake country white pad by hand, did not make any difference, moved to CG MF finishing pad and V36, got rid of 3000 grit sanding marks, but 1000 grit remained, V36 and CG MF cutting pad got rid of the rest of the marks.

    Well if it is not a job/business what is stopping you from just doing it, are they going to fine you for something they don't think exists?

    clear coat coming off?

    Would switching to a coating from a sealant/wax at 5 years be a good idea to re-up the UV protection?

    I added three coats of clear to the new paint, so when I polish the basecoat wont be exposed

    Does this look like I burned through the clear?

    Thanks Mike, I will do the area right around the scratch by hand first and see if that works, with either a white or black lake country pad, I also will have CG microfiber pads, which hopefully do not generate much heat.

    Does this look like I burned through the clear?

    Thanks, I have not polished yet, I am waiting on CG V36 and V38 to arrive, will use V38 first as it is less aggressive. All I have right now is an AIO which has a sealant that I can't put on the fresh paint. I will update later, so at the very least somebody else can learn from my mistakes.

    Does this look like I burned through the clear?

    I was trying to sand down my touch up paint, I think it is ok between the paint and polish but I am worried that I burned through the clear. The dark black in the middle is the touch up paint

    He could also charge more for new customers and the existing ones that are at the location that is requiring the extra insurance, but not raise prices for his other customers, maybe even let them know they are getting a discount over his current rate.
