    don't wet sand it if you cannot polish it-pics heavy

    The car had been repainted a few months ago.The painter wanted to remove the orange peel from the hood,roof and the trunk of the car
    The results were terrible....
    The rest of the car had only some swirls
    The process was
    Meguiars Diamond Cut on Megs 8'' wool pad on rotary
    Meguiars #83 on PFW on rotary
    Those had been used on the wet sanded areas,followed as the rest of the car with the below
    Meguiars # 83 on DAS orange light cutting pad on UDM
    Meguiar's #80 on LC 6'' white polishing flat pad on UDM
    Meguiar's NXT WAX as LSP
    The plastic trims were dressed with Meguiar's plastic and trim dressing

    Some random before pictures

    Some random 50/50 shoots
    The 50/50 on the wet sanded areas are after compounding with diamond cut so forgive some hazing

    Good save pampos! The owner must have been floored with those results. I can live with a little orange peel as long as the finish is clean like you made it.

    Beautiful work.

    I can't get over how the paint shop allowed that car to leave. They could not have been proud of the cars condition.

    Thanks mate....The problem is that the paint shop did it twice because the first time was even worse than that
