    Wet sending + UC?

    Dear all
    Ultimate Compound, worked by hand, could remove wet sending marks?
    Thank you vary much!

    Possibly - depending on how hard your paint is and how deep the scratches are. It will probably be hard work though!

    What grade sand paper did you finish with?

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      Hi Davey! Thanks for your quick answer...
      Honestly I'm really ignorant for what it concern wet sending.

      I have a "disaster" on my front bumper I was thinking to use touch up paint, mild wet sanding (2000? 3000?) and a lot of elbow grease with UC & UP.

      For the amount and deepness of the scratches and tools I’m going to use (hands), I know that the result will be fare from perfect, but my intent is just to reduce the “visual impact” of the damage.

        Wow, those scratches look quite deep. Personally, I think you're up for a re-spray. I wouldn't even attempt a correction on that, as you're likely to just make it look worse, or at best, only slightly improve it.

          Before you start wet sanding without a definite plan for removal of the sanding marks, we would suggest that you first try the Ultimate Compound on it's own first. While some of those marks do indeed look very deep, a lot of them will probably clean up quite nicely with a few fairly aggressive applications of Ultimate Compound. Use a foam wax applicator pad and don't be afraid to put some energy into the application. Don't scrub really hard in one spot, but rather work with some pressure over the effected area for maybe 20 to 30 seconds and then wipe off the residue. Repeat 2 or 3 times if needed, then let's take a look at the progress.

            Davey, Michael, thanks a lot!!!
            I'll follow your suggestion.
            I was thinking as well to try some clearcoat-safe solvent to check if some white in there is "another car paint". I had this "little" problem with a white car.

            I have in my arsenal both the "Even Coat" and the "Soft Foam" Meguiar's applicators. The foam wax applicator is the first one?
            Thanks

              Sorry... wrong question... Both should be good for polish and wax...But I'll start with the yellow that I guess could give better results with polish.
