So WTF are you doing? I wanna see the Lude with the clear on it and shit!

the last few pics are w/ the clear. i still need to wetsand w/ 1500 and 2000 and compound and polish the car which i will do next weekend since i dont have enough time this weekend, i have to work all week.


I'm just afraid of the sanding marks not coming out...when i did matts car i compounded w/ a light cut compound and should really have used a heavier cut compound but they dont recommend it w/ my porter cable DA polisher, you are suppose to use the heavy compound w/ a rotary buffer. I have never used a rotary polisher before. anyone have one i can borrow next weekend w/ experiece and come supervise to make sure i dont fuck up the new paint?

i think by saturday it should be cured up pretty good...we are gonna wetsand it pretty good to get most of the orange peel out and a few drips, then i think im gonna give it a shot w/ my porter cable DA polisher w/ a wool pad and some perfect it compound, then after that gonna use meguiars light cut compound on a foam compound pad, then glaze it followed by some caranuba to seal it up.

you do need a rotary polisher to get all the sand scratches out....i have never tried using a DA though. If you do get your hands on a rotary, be very careful. Tape up your edges and go slow. The compound you use really doesnt make a difference, its the pad. Most compounds say it will cover up 1200+ scratches with a heavy cutting pad...and 1500+ with a medium or light cutting pad. I would come over and let you borrow mine but im am only in town for 2 days a week and i am busy as hell. But when you wetsand, use a block or else it will look wavy. If you have any more questions send me a pm.
