It's mixed 4:1 clear/activator. What temp activator are you using. You need the HOT temp stuff to give yourself all the time you can get.




I'm pretty sure my man here is right. The paint store should have given you a mix cup or 2 with your purchase. You want to mix the 4:1 ratio and work quickly(not rushed though). Do not take 600 to the paint. A 1200 is as low as you want to go. You want to either finish off the wet sand with 1500-2000 grit to minimize you scratches. Before you wet sane give the Nason at least a good day or 2 out in the sun.
After the wet sand you wash the car really well and let dry. You will need some 3m finishing compound and apply it with i "believe" a white foam 3m buffing pad placed on the end of an angle buffer(don't know the real name, but paint store can help you with that). Then after carefully buffing the car at 1200-2400 rpm's you want to wash it really good and let dry. Last step is to take a black foam pad and apply the 3m machine glaze and buff for that mirror shine.


Guys, if you see anything wrong with the order that i say please speak up so the kid doesn't eff up the paint based on what i said. I'm pretty sure its the white pad for compunding, and the black pad for glazing. However, check with a paint professional for confirmation.
