    How often can you wet sand?

    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.

    How often can you wet sand?

    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.

    How often can you wet sand?

    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?

    Meg's 105 & 205 pad pair up?

    :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...

    Is my PC7424XP kit ideal?

    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...

    First time using Micro Fabric pads

    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.

    Caddy Brought Back From Hell!

    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.
