I should start out by saying this was only for fun and to see if I could do it. I would never recommend this aggressive of an approach with sanding without stepping it out. However, this is my guinea pig car
Jason Killmer shared a video yesterday that really just made me want to push myself and see what I'm capable of. He took out 1000 grit with m205 and I was blown away. I wanted to see how far it could be taken.
So...this is a Lexus IS300, wetsanded with 600 grit paper. I'm using a Rupes 21 with Meguiar's mf cut pad and Shine Supply Classic Polish. Yes I said Polish
It took me 3 pretty long passes to make it happen but the point is, it happened. Scratches removed, nothing burnt. The video is a bit long but it does show the whole process, even showing it's 600 grit paper. The end shows the results after a Throwback wipedown (Shine Supply's paint cleanser)..pure glossy and flat paint.
