Custom Paint With Deep Swirls & Wet Sanding Marks

[SuperGlide]

I bought this HHR Panel a few weeks ago and now finally have time
to do the paint correction.

Problems.....

Swirls and wet sand marks in flames that are outlined in pinstripe

Deep wetsand marks around handles and a few other places, not to many

No clear coat, I was told its enamel

Here's what I tried so far.....

Blended wool pad with pdp 2000 grit leveler......took out some, R.I.D.S appeared

next I tried Blended wool with Wizards 1500 final cut....little better still there

polished with all in one, looks decent but theres wet sanding marks all threw the flames and a few other areas.

I have some 1200 turbo cut, should I try this or way to aggressive ?

I did all the above with a light hand, due to the enamel. removed some paint but not much at all.

Here's the panel, I'll try and post pics of the scratches and swirls when I can.

If there's no clear over anything, I'd be really careful especially around the pin-striping. I'm not familiar with the Wizards polishes so I can't say whether the Turbo Cut would be too aggressive or not. Pictures of the scratches/swirls will help.

Either way, that's a really cool looking paint job!

Thanks,

The hood and fenders are cleared, but from the doors back no clear.
I took it to a few local paint shops and they both estimated the paint job
cost around 8-10k.

I've been detailing since 1996 so I'm pretty confident I can get it worked
out, but your never to good to hear some input and learn new tricks.
I'm pretty old school so its always good to catch up on the new products.
