    Re: Old school vs Modern sanding

    Sorry, I went to buy more sandpaper & stuff.

    I've been using 3M wet or dry sandpaper.

    I actually went at it again with a 1000, after confirming that the car had at least 7 coats of clear, and...

    Re: Old school vs Modern sanding

    The entire car done was cut with 1000, 1500, and 2000, at times with pneumatic DA and in part blocked by hand.

    Re: Old school vs Modern sanding

    No texture at all - just some degree of waviness all over. Even with 1000 there are still some pinholes too, besides the waves. He said the car had 2 gallons of clear applied to it (its a large one)....

    Re: Old school vs Modern sanding

    I'm wet sanding a car for a friend - like a Lowrider type of car. But after either block or pneumatic DA, the paint job still looks more or lest wavy.

    Old school vs Modern sanding

    Hey, guys!

    I'm just wondering if you think there's any substantial difference between sanding a new paint job on a classic car with, say, a Rupes pneumatic sander (Skorpio III) vs hand blocking...

    Re: Dog Scratches on a new Sienna

    Hey there!

    That doggie might have to skip a treat or two... [emoji6]

    As for the scratches, I would try some 3000 grit sanding paper (usually comes in a sponge-like cloth) and some rubbing...

    Re: Pads

    Maybe a spongier (or slightly smaller) pad can get you into those harder to reach to areas - just be sure it fits well in your machine. Sometimes hand polishing is the best or last resort, depending...
  12. Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal

    Honestly it looks exactly how a wet-sanded part normally looks like - nothing different. The problem is this kind of material or coating just doesn't level up like a traditional clear coat.
  13. Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal

    Yeah, definitely, specially if I can't figure out what chemical or compound reacts favorably with that particular material/coating.

    I believe that if I had sanded away any particular layer, I...
  14. Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal

    I understand, and that would be the easy way out for me - or even replacing the parts.

    But I got very interested in learning why I haven't been able to buff it out. I think it's a good learning...
  15. Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal

    I did the exact same procedure on other people's cars with no issues. It's the material that's different.

    I tried contacting Tesla to find out what coating these parts have to no avail.

    Also,...
  16. Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal

    Rotary, and by hand as well. The sanding marks acted as if I was didn't exist, pretty much. [emoji52]

  17. Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal

    The scratches were deep-enough to need some sanding - that's why I did it, like I have before in Mercedes & BMWs, for example, with no problems like this.

    This is the first and only material that...

    Hey there, guys!

    I was hoping that someone here has been able to efficiently color sand & buff scratches off a Model 3 center console glossy parts.

    I was able to wet sand the scratches off, but...
