Got my car back today fresh from the shop. It's Ferrari Red with a gold pearl. The painter knew that I wanted to wetsand and buff myself so he shot an extra coat of clear.
I also painted the wheels gold to match
A shot to show off the pearl
Today I practiced wetsanding and using the rotary. I was pretty confident after reading up on different sites, watching the Megs video and asking questions at the Megs customer hotline and from my friend that painted the car.
Here's the process I used on an old hood that I'll be using on the Integ:
1) Wetsand with 1500 then 2000 Meguiar's Unigrit
2) Compound with #84 Compound Power Cleaner via
Dewalt 849 and Megs burgandy pad
3) Polish with #83 DACP and a Propel Green Pad
4) Finish with #80 Speed Glaze and a Propel Blue
I was pleased with the results on the hood so I'll use the same process to do the whole car. I learned from the vid that #80 itself has polymer protection that is new paint safe, so that should hold me over for the 90 days while the paint cures.
I'm new to the game so any suggestions, comments, or thoughts are greatly appreciated. I'll follow this up with a thread on my wetsanding and rotary experience...
Thank you Autopia for the valuable knowledge I will continue to absorb.
