I'm no painter but I assume that it can happen in the primer, base, or clear, however the OP in the clear coat will be most evident because the base coat will fill in any issues in the primer and the clear coat will fill in any issues in the base coat... confusing, yes. The biggest point w/ OP is that it is a good idea not to wet sand factory paint jobs because the clear will be significantly reduced, one way or the other.

And for everyone else, you're welcome :). Hopefully this will benefit all.


hello Budman,

just in case a black car is filled with swirls along with a few deep scratch's and has orange peel since day 1 what will be the best solution to get rid of all defects to a mirror finish.

car is two years old,
bonnet, front bumper and rear bumper were repainted 2 months ago.

how do i carry out the correction in case u suggest not to wet sand factory paint.
please correct me,

1. good wash- sonax
2. clay bar or iron X
3. M105 > pads?
4. Mez super intensive polish > pads ?
5. Mez PO106FA > pads?
6. Mez finishing glaze
7. Klasse high gloss paint sealant ( is it safe to use polycharger?)
8. layer of Fuzzion or chemical guy E-zyme or a layer of DGPS 3.0?

will the above method help ?
since wet sanding could be an issue, will 3M scratch Refinement fine finishing disc be of any help

sorry for all the questions,
NEW Member :)
