Hi everyone!
So someone recently hit my car and ran away, and i dont have uninsured insurance, so i decided to touch up my car. But it was my first time to paint the car, I did it very badly. Now the car is horrible to look at, there are some white swirls on it and I can not get it off, it might be caused by the sand paper or clear coat... i am not sure,do you guys know how to fix my car

Hi, thank you for your response,I first used some alcholo to clean the surface, then i applied the oem basecoat, after that i used langka which did not work at all, i was not able to remove anything. after that, i applied clear coat. On the next day, I wet sand it with 1000 and 2000 sandpaper.
Thanks

So if you sanded it and haven't done anything since, you'll need some strong compound or 2500/3000 grit sandpaper to get the marks down further, then polish them out with your DA machine...once you polish it out it should look much better although whatever that blob is doesn't look like typical sanding marks...you got nothing to lose at this point.

Where are you located? might be better off having one of us more experienced guys/gals look at it for you
 
I would wet sand it again with 2000 and 3000 using light pressure,
and when things are blended in and look more even, polish it and then apply clear coat.

how did you paint? with spray can?
also did you wet sand each coat of primer and paint?
