OK but what would you do if the car gets other scratches after I wet sand it? leave it and live with it or get it repainted? assuming i can't buff it out first.

yes i will i just needed to correct my paint because the whole car has swirls and lots of chips/scratches. so I just wanted to correct it then after fix the chips and finally seal it. I live in apartment so I can only detail when I visit my parents house and usually its only a few hours at a...

Hi Mike I stated with 2000 and finished with 3000 grit. I used the the Hex orange pad for first pass and the the MF for 2-3 more compound passes. I then used the MF pad for polish. Yes sir I got all scratches out with no issues. I used Mags 105/205 and finished off with Pinnacle Souverän Paste...

So my Murano has a few scratches etc and paint did not look good So i wet sanded almost 50% of the car (where needed) and compounded/polished the best. Results are amazing but how many times or how often can you wet sand before you get down to the paint?

I am also new but here is what I have learned from the guys in the forum and this is what I follow. I have a 2011 Nissan Murano and paint is in decent shape with a few scratches here and there. Here are the steps I take: I user a Porter Cable polisher and MF / hex pads for all paint and...

Awesome work. did you wet sand any sports on the rover?

looks too bulky. for 50 bucks you can have a nice foam gun that will last you years and you don't have to charge it up to use it.

Mike what wool pad would you recommend for the Porter ? I used the MF pads and they cut better than my hex pads..

:dblthumb2: +1 this is what i currently use also. But it depends on your paint is you need more of a cut then use Yellow pad if your paint is "ok" then go with Orange. This should help: Yellow Heavy Cutting Pad- Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe...

Well I agree with Evan as I just bought the Porter myself as a noob to polishers and I do also think it could use some more power. It will help getting the job done faster. BUT, if gearguru is new to this I would probably recommend the porter because it is safer. Guru no matter how hard you...

Kappy I also have a murano and I wet sanded a scratch I had and used 105 first like 8 passes and could not get all the scratches and dullness out. I then used 205 and still dull after 6-8 passes. I bought a MicoFabric cutting pad and WOW what a difference. After 2 passes with 105 I started to...

Yea me too but when it comes to correcting the paint with combo compound/Polishing I find the mf pads cut faster and leave a better finish. I finish the sealant and wax with foam pads as well.

i got pads for both compound and polish.

i did notice that once i lift my polisher the edge of the Mf started to fly lol not sure if it was just some loose fibers or what. I did prep the pads with pad conditioner before i used them.

I would have tried to ##### as much as i can to see if they would give you new rims lol (fat chance) if not I would tell they need to do something for you like 2 years free oil change or something.. Once I parked in a garage and when i got my maxima the whole from corner bumper was smashed in...

Well After I washed my car I started to compound a panel and I was excited to try my new MF Pad and OHHH boy I don't know if i will ever get other pads again. I used the hex orange pad and the MF pad and I have to say that the cut i got with the MF pad was so much better. I had a dull spot...

I am sure someone here can guide you on where to take your car or you can just lear from the guys here and do it yourself..

I am guessing it is from 1932.

The chips got filled and were then compounded and polished. The scratches got compounded and polished. Hence the need for the wool pad! And thank you for taking the time to comment. Richy did you use something like dr. color? I am asking as I need to fix the same chips on my car.

Nice work buddy. I too have a black car and hate it but love it when it is clean and glowing. How did you fix all the scratches and chips?
