sealant after glaze?

Sounds like an aggressive plan. Hope you have sanding experience. What does your customer expect? You are talking in my estimation a 2+ day job. At least it would be for me.

I had some at our group detail & used it on part of the car prior to putting on BF Black Ice. You didn't get a chance to try it out? I think you might have been trying the other guy's glaze, I think it was CG Glossworks.

Very experienced. I've estimated it at 4 days.

I sense a little sarcasm:confused: I don't claim to know a lot, I wouldn't be in here if I did, but since I've done restorations for over 15 years, I know what it takes to wet sand and buff a car. I'm just here to learn a different side of the show car business.

Well, I'd be lying if I said I'm not leary about wet sanding the stock cc, especially since the majority on here advice against it. in all honesty, I've never wet sanded a stock cc. Everything I've sanded has always been something I've sprayed and most of my work always gets, at the very least, three coats of clear with the intent to cut and buff.

I guess I'll have to reconsider sanding it.

I can't speak to the wet sanding, but I've used Poorboy's Black Hole Glaze, topped with Collinite 845 on my previous black car. But I would do that in between yearly polish jobs. As a daily driver it would pick up small swirls and the glaze would really help to fill those in. But if you're polishing the whole car out I can't see the need for glaze. But hey, I'm just a weekend hobbyist......

Pony I think it would be a wise descision on your part. If there wasnt that much to risk with factory CC then we would all be doing it but when there is just very little room for error you just need to think is a burn through or strike through really worth it?

Secondly, if it was a show car that was repainted with enough clear on it and you are getting paided the right price to do all the sanding then its worth it. Knowning the history of that paint is a huge key factor. If the car was polished at any time prior to getting to you then you have that much less clear to work with.

Here is an artilce on wet sanding factory clear
