If it has gone down to the basecot hit it with 1000g and then lay a clear coat over it. If it is just in the clear coat hit it with 1000g, 1500g and 2000g if you have it. Then buff and polish.

96saturnsl Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 buffing...i agree with that, but wet sanding is for taking out dirt nubs and runs....when u wet sand it takes a bit of claer coat off... so i wouldnt wet sand...just get a buffer some 3m rubbing compound and go to town. then see how it looks. but if theres some spots that are rough in the paint wet sand them only with some 1500-2000 grit.
Shibby Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 But rubbing compound is taking off clear, rubbing compound is like sand paper in a can. Though rubbing compound is alot more forgiving then sand paper. Dont have to worry about amount of water, or pressure, just start rubbing away.
96saturnsl Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 exactly my point lol. theres now need to wet sand the paint if its just oxidized or faded. just put some compound on it and go to town lol. hope this helps, it'll save u some time and work in the long run too.
Stephen Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 i used megiuiars clay bar on my paint the was an little oxidized and you cant even tell now, just make sure you wax afterwards you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.
