Hello everybody! Lately Ive been practicing a lot of polishing and wet sanding and my previous project was my brothers car 2006 Pasifica. One side was repainted and other side quarter (uneven high readings) other was original and you can tell by the pretty even readings. The orange peel was bad on both sides but sanding marks and orange peel was worse on repainted side Also the readings were healthy on original clear (160+/- but on top of the door by the window it was 120 which wasn`t needed to be wet-sanded anyways. just a small 1 or 2 centimeters wide.
Areas that were not wet-sanded were roof,rear bumper front bumper (the front bumper was wetsanded and polished by me earlier.)
The correction was 1500 then 2000
purple foam and twisted wool m105 (on some parts i didn`t like the cut of twisted wool so i switched to pfwp) then orange lc pad and m105 then m205 on white lc pad. sealed with black fire by DA. all plastic was protected with 303. Also thanks to Barry Theal, he helped me with some questions!
now lets see the pics!
