| + | a lot of people dont think of the total value of a good wetsand job,its only when they start buffing is when they find out its back to the drawing board(did not do enought wetsanding),so let me get you guys and gals stright,in the process everyone calls-wetsanding, a way to get a show finish,i have taken many awards for my cars and bikes so let me tell you the term(block until you drop) is the name of the game! a lot of people use other methods but the (english type)is what i use.the method is condsidering the car bike or truck or whatever is stright and good pannels,correct paint just right ect. you can go for the finish,first out you must take a fender,side and flat parts, look to see how much you must re-flatten,cover all sharp corners with 1/2 inch tape(masking)and use,1000grit this is considering everything is in very good shape,clear is flat color right ect.you use (at least i do) a 5gal.bucket with one shot of dish soap,then blend it with the luc-warm water and sand until the surface is completely flat.i use a 3m squigi and pull back on the sanded surface and notice if any shine is present if it is flat go to the next area,do not over reach it will burn you out,also if the surface is still (unsanded),keep re-sanding the area until a flat simi gloss,flat surface is achived.the finer the paper the more simi gloss it will be.you keep doing this until the whole car is done with 1000,now you will have to do this on every grit-level you use!!! so now you will do the whole car in 1500,2000,2500,3000(yes there is a 3000 grit!!!),this is the way i get notice by the judges,and they see the finish and its right!,so this is how i do a sandjob,it will take anywere for one-week to 2 1/2 weeks to get it right but when its right! then you can buff it out with ease and not much pressure | ||
| + | because the surface is pre-polished,and it only takes a bit of buffing to do the rest,so go for it the only thing is you must take the time to do it right!..(bourne51)........ | ||
