any help? i got sip super finish "nano polish" i believe, and micro polish po85rd. im going to follow it with wolf gang paint sealant 3.0 and maybe a layer of poor boys natty blue wax. any suggestions on how I should do this

[jamores23]

I cant seem to get the fine scratches out! I got 90% of all the other scratches off. what Do i do im going crazy its bothering me

[nrengle]

If you got 90% correction consider it done. SIP is gonna leave some marring, and 85RD is a little too fine to really do anything but bump the gloss way up. You need 106 FF/FA in there to help with those fine scratches, then you hit with 85RD an it looks like butter...

[charliehaley]

Follow up with the nano on a white pad. That should take care of the fine scratches as they are probably a result of the SIP.

You may need to go over it several times with the sip and then maybe sip and a lighter pad, then follow up with 106 on a white pad then 85rd on a finishing pad. It sounds like you need to go back over the area a few more times with sip.

heres the finished product.

How do you guys think it came out? I spent about 16 hrs doing this car. The whole entire body looked like the first picture I put up. I don't know what the hell happen to it or who deailed it before "I hope it was just a carwash machine" lol because if someone did that by hand they should kill there-self. I didnt get any pictures of after the wg paint sealant and spritz spray after it dryed up. When applying wg ps how do you recc. I wipe off? Do I leave it for awhile or apply and wipe? Also I taped up the trim and now I got the gooey stuff on the trim how do I take that off?

it looks great to me, huge improvement

[redboost10]

looks great! what did you end up doing different from the first pictures

[jamores23]

well I had to go over it with SIP a few times which was the biggest pain in the a$$. It was my first car ever doing and I was a little nervous hearing that people burn paint and stuff but I made sure i touched the paint while i was working on it to feel for temp. So yeah red boost, I went over it a few times with sip and orange pad, then followed it with 106ff on white pad, followed by 85rd on black pad, followed by wolf gang deep gloss, followed by wolf gang spritz qd, which I didnt get a chance to take a pic of it once the wolf gang deep gloss dryed over night and i applied the qd. Some of my friends that were over said they couldn't believe that I could perfect a car like that lol, neither did I!

[redboost10]

Next time try the 85rd with a blue pad, it will work alittle better than with the gray pad and provide a better gloss.
