Hello all ! After watching hours of video of Mike and crew, I purchased all my materials from AG and got started practicing.I am using a rear fender off a Chevy truck that has been damaged,so the contours were a little awkward,but buff-able.I started wet sanding with 1000 grit,then 1500 grit,3000 grit,then I went to a foam wool pad with the Menzerna FG 400. Then I used a white Lake C. pad with Menzerna SI 1500 polish. I would of used the Menzerna SF 4000 but I forgot to order it !
This was my first attempt at all of this detailing stuff and I thought it turned out ok. On my first try at wet sanding, the sandpaper scratched the paint somehow,not good.I hope you can see the difference in the paint from one pic to another.
The first picture is the before sanding,etc.
second and third picture is the after sanding and buffing.
Thanks for all your time and info Mike, you and everyone really make a difference when we need help!!!
