    Wet sanding needed?

    I have a 14 camaro 1LE. It has 285 tires on the front the kick up lots of debris. I currently have maybe a dozen small rock chips into the clear along both sides of the car, is this something that can be removed by a polisher? Or will this need to be wet sanded? I will try to get pics of I can get them to show up

    I'd say that the rock chips will need to be filled-in first.

    well in my opinion neither may not work. my daily driver gets pounded with little rocks
    and debris. i probably have more chips then you but i tried wet sanding and polishing but
    didnt help. best you can do is touch up paint and polish

    Re: Wet sanding needed?

    i agree with the last guy .. I work at a body shop and have customers that ask about that all the time ...there is only two ways to fix this . 1 : fill the chips with paint then sand them down with 2000 grit wet sand paper and buff/polish ..2 : bring it to a body shop and have them repaint the car.
    hope this helps.
    good luck
    i always knew id never reach perfection and if i ever did then i wasn't trying hard enough...
