well was time to do full detail again and i wanted to wetsand it to get it to mirror like condition, factory orange peel sucks. paint readings were in 300 so plenty of coating to work with. picked up 3000 grit paper and will have to go over my 2500 areas, probably will make it easier to do get mirror like finish. Autogeek forum helped a lot with showing proper wetsanding techniques. here is results so far
products i used
2500 grit sand paper
Meguiar's M105 with purple wool pad
Menzerna 203 with orange pad
Menzerna 85rd with black pad
Black fire wetdiamond on blue pad
Wolfgange fuzion wax
process:
prepped panels (only what im working on couse others have wax on them). wetsanded with 2500 grit, used M105 and purple foamed wool pad to get rid of sanding marks,(checked results, pretty satisfied but was not able to get all out couse some defects were too deep) polished with 203 and then with 85rd. paint cleansed and sealed with black fire wet diamond sealant.
defects (etching, scratches)
before/after
did little test panel on rear quarter panel, huge difference, this is when i decided to do whole car
before wetsanding
after
50/50
