Polishing a vehicle in sections over a couple of days!

[modman]

I have black Dodge mega cab and am beginning the large job of paint correction on it. It is my winter daily driver and my hunting wagon so it really needs the love. Unfortunately I have no garage and because I am a novice and it is such a large vehicle i will not be able to get it finished in one session. Is there a problem with washhing, claying compounding, polishing and sealing a section at a time. I just completed compounding and polishing the hood and front fenders and front bumper. Should I seal it before moving on to the cab? Or would it be better to compound and polish the whole thing over a couple of sessions then rewash, dry and seal with Meguiars 21.

I hope this is not too weird of questions.

Oh, and i am loving my new surbuf pads and Optimum Compound.

Thats how I did mine. I did mine in thirds spread across a weeks time.

No problem at all, in fact I outline this approach in my e-book.

I thought it would be ok I just wanted to make sure. I really trust the expertise on this forum.

Thanks

If you don't trust Mike Phillips, I wouldn't know who to trust.

well put!

with everything said above. I would just add that one way to keep your vehicle in shape when you don't have whole day to do it, is to do a section at a time over a series of weekends or days off. That way every few weeks the whole car is done.

I polished mine out over about 2 weeks. Worked great.

I finished the front clip today! It turned out really good but everything else looks really rough in comparison. I am not sure which new product i like more, Optimum compound or Surbuf pads. Oh and/ going from 6.5 to 5.5 inch pads on the PC made a huge difference. My second attempt at paint correction is going much better.

Wouldn't you accumulate dirt/dust particles that will scratch/mar the paint when polishing though??
