Got a bird bomb etching, first I used #83 with 4" orange pad on the PC @ 5 and three passes later nothing happened.

Next OHC with 4" orange pad on the PC @ 6, saw smoke and here is the picture.

Can't do anything about the burn now but I thought toyota paint was soft?

The etching is still here and I dont see micro marring. Any surggestions?

What should I do about the etching?
 
4" pads can be quite dangerous on the PC.



If it where me i would wetsand with 3000 grit and buff it out. But i dont recomend wetsanding to someone who has no experiance with it.

It's already screwed up, so I would say it's a perfect panel to learn on...
 
Just let it soak for a while... Some people say over night, others say for a few hours. I put a drop or 2 of soap in the water and let it soak for a while, but not hours. You can try the 83 on the sand scratches. I've only used 83 once, so I can't remember how well it cuts.

I do not agree. The area is small and probably wont ever be noticed. If he trys to learn to wetsand he could make a small unoticable area a big noticable area.

If he's only wet sanding with 3000 grit and it's already in that bad of shape, he shouldn't have any trouble.
