Couple people said that if you wetsand (2000 grit) a car with soap and water and than high speed buff it, the car will look much better as a thin layer of clear coat comes off and makes it look like it was just painted...have peopleon this board tried this method? any tips/tricks or lessons learned!? also headlights have a film on them that make the covers look cloudy,,,ive always used mothers milk on my 1g and it worked great, 2g headlights dont respond as well to MM. Maybe sand it instead?

thanks Jeremy

 

i wouldnt wet sand it your self you might take off to much of your clear coat ..... go and take it some wre it will be like less then 200

 

If you dont know how to wet sand paint I would not recomend doing it. I worked in a body shop for 2 yrs. and it deff. takes some skill to get it right. But if you fell that it is something you can do be very very careful. Because you can really mess the paint up if you dont buff it with the right stuff. I did my car after it was painted 4 yrs ago and the paint on it is like glass. Yes you can do the head lights. And if you want to pay some one to do it let me know and we can arange something.

 

Heres a pic.

 

"HONDAEATINGTSI," can you fix the pic!? thanks, Its like getting a new clear coat it sounds like, minor chips can be buffed out too i think? also wash marks, hair line scratches?

 

whats wrong with the pic.

 

as long as its in the clear you can take out lil scratchs and what not

 

im a certified painter and work in a auto body shop i wet sand everyday... i am also a graduate of wyotech in collision and refinishing so if u want a showroom job ill do it for ya for 200$ i have all compounds buffe and paper i just need your car

 

You can get the scratchs out of more than just the clear but it takes time and a little touch up paint. I used to do it all the time at the dealer ship i work for. you just have to know what you are doing.

 

ya u be real careful on the spot your working put touch up paint in the scratch and then have extreme skill w/ a buffer to basically melt the clear over
