Yeah, I knew that's what you were going for, I just wanted to make it clear for general situations. This one will probably be right for a compound.

Bump.

Bump for? I may have missed your question?

03DJ

Bump for anyone needing a quick question answered. I was about to show off some of my work in here but never got around to it.

Here's a quick question, what are some techniques for wet sanding?

MarcHarris

Dangerous subject to tackle - over twice as aggressive as heavy polishing. What do you want to know?

03DJ

Well couldn't wet sanding possibly fade out a minor scratch in the paint? How should one go about wet sanding?

Ok how do you get the smell of vinegar (broken jar of pickles - don't ask) out of my carpet behind the drivers seat? I don't have floor mats back there so it is just thin carpeting. I've tried Febreze and some carpet cleaner to no avail!

Wetsanding is a pretty invasive process, and can often do more harm than good. How minor is the scratch, and what have you done to try to remove it so far? Any pics?

I'm going to be trying to remove some swirls for the 1st time. Wash, clay,dry,m105 then 205, seal and wax in that order?

FromZto5

I don't like claying after wash before dry/during wash. I prefer to finish the wash and dry entirely, then clay with spray lube all its own, then paint correct.

Seal then wax??

Seal with??

FromZto5

Any good sealant will do Glenn. Wolfgang, JetSeal, 4star, blackfire, etc

Looks like it takes the place of wax?

shurtual86

It can, but some people like to put a thin coat of wax on top, to make it shine a bit more, since waxes tend to shine more than sealants.

FromZto5

Not shine per say, shurt... But nubas go on top of sealants for more of the depth and wetness look

Glenn

but not necessarily needed?

shurtual86

Yeah, you're right, I replied while I was busy so I tried to keep it short
Yup

Just bought a 2012 V6 Premium (silver w/black racing stripes). I was wondering if I could use a car wash and wax (Armorall) on the stripes without ruining them. Also, if anyone has advice for how to take care of the stripes, that'd be amazing. I'm working with my first new car here, and really want to take care of it so I can one day pass it down to my kids. Thanks everyone.

Please stay away from armor all. Buy stuff from reputable vendors. I get all mine online. But if you must stick with OTC stuff, stick with mothers or meguiars

Glenn

yea I couldn't tell the difference between waxed after the sealent and just sealent.
