bassface Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Did you sand up to like 2000 grit before cutting and buffing? And did you apply carnuba wax to it at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntstere Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 im extremely impressed if that is a home-styled setup. Yeah its a home setup. The last thing I painted was my bike. These are pics before I wet sanded and buffed. BTW this is after I screwed up. LOL I ended up having to sand and reclear because I didn't wait long enough to wet sand so I wrinkled the clear. To the OP I would wait about a week. Try wet sanding with 2000. Clean. Cut and buff in the normal sequence and apply wax at the end. If all else fails the only thing you can do is take it down and reclear maybe taking note what you do different from before and after to maybe isolate the possible issue that caused it.

AUDIOADDICT02 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Could have also been the type of compounds, polishes... This ALWAYS works for me: 2000 grit thorough sand Wool pad or yellow foam pad with 3M rubbing compound Black foam pad with 3M foam pad glaze(aka machine glaze) & another black foam pad with 3M Finnesse-it (or 3M perfect it) finishing material. ^That ALWAYS works for me. anything else won't shine as good, from my personal experience.(Sorry Meguiars, you f*cking suck!) Another thing; don't wax your car for about 3 months after painting, you have to let the clear cure.
