I am fixing a large line of paint chips into the metal at the bottom of one of my doors on my car. I think they were caused by a car wash, as I remember going through it and hearing a loud metal noise on that side. I even remarked to my buddy in the car "what the hell was that?" Unfortunately, I didn't actually think to look and I noticed it several days later.
To be honest I was lazy and just sprayed over the whole area with matching paint and clear. I probably should have filled the chips with bondo first or used a chip kit, but I am more concerned with preventing rust and making it less noticeable, not so much with making it perfect.
Anyways, so I was wet sanding my clear. I thought I had sanded down through the clear layer, just because it started to have that halo effect that kept growing during polishing. But when I went to polish it polished up super glossy. My understanding is that you would be unable to get a super glossy finish if you have removed the clear. Is this correct? I also didn't seem to have any color on my rag.
