Wet sanding

[chu_singming]

I got keyed in February on my drivers side door, the scratch ran about 3/4 the length of the door, and as a temporary fix I just filled it in with some touch up paint (tacky, I know). But, the little brush that you apply the touch up paint with is not very precise, and it just make the scratch even more noticable because of the globs of paint that come off of the brush. My question is this, would it be OK to wet sand this area until it was smooth again, then wax the area? Would this be OK for the clearcoat?



Any suggestions on how to clean this up would be great. If possible, I would like to get this scratch almost all of the way out. It is fairly deep, it was white when it first happened and I could definately get my nail caught in it if I ran my finger down the door.

Wet sand the area with a pencil, as Brad suggest's fasten a very small peice of sand paper to the tip of a pencil eraser. This will ensure you only sand down the excess paint/clear coat and not the surronding area.



Wet sanding is an excellent way to correct a blemish and it's quite easy to learn and master.
