Proper way to wetsand clear coat drip

[jmkiang]

Whats the exact process for this? Same as normal wetsanding?



Should the area be taped off?

Got a pic? Is it fresh, old? If it's fresh.. there's a little cube shaped tool that actually "shaves" the run off. Then you'd follow up with wet sanding and polishing.

Its new clear coat.. and sorry I don't have a picture.



Is this cube tool available at Pep Boys, Autozone etc?

 

[08xB]

Probably not. An autobody supply would be your best bet.

 

[jmkiang]

I see. Anyway to do this without the tool?



It would be ideal if I could just pick up some sandpaper to do this.

I use a new razor blade. You can rub the blade completely vertical to the paint, and shave off the run. You can also get a small block to sand it off. You can get this at your local paint supply store.

Treat it like doing a chip repair blob. And yes, you want to tape the area.

I've seen old timers do it this way and have flawless results. I would recommend that if you are going to use a razor blade, get the little cube that holds it. You'll be much safer. I have been painting cars since I was 14, and I still use the holder. Just like to be on the safe side.

OK so I'm gonna pick up some of the 3M Wetordry sheets. Sound good?
