Well I got my car back from the body shop the second time after blending the fenders they never did after painting my hood. When I inspected it, of course the fenders were nicely swirled from his "polishing". I assume the clear in this area could be thin since it`s blended in. Should I be at all worried about the blended areas of the fenders when I polish?

I`ve never had any problems with blended repaints. If you are working via PC, you shouldn`t have anything to worry about.

Yeah, just a PC for now, thanks.

Grimm- I`d take it a little easier than normal at the point where the blend fades to nothing, and I`d consider waiting a little while before you do it. Or at least see if the paint is still really soft...maybe you can polish now but maybe you oughta wait a few weeks, I`ve had them go both ways.

Yeah, I`m planning to wait until spring. No sense trying it now when the snow and ice will add to the swirls over the next couple months.
