I touched up a scratch. I have slowly built up the indentation with touch up pait so that it is well over the surface. The car is black and I would like to attempt a repair like I have seen written up on the site. Scratch is 2 inches to the metal top half of driver door.
I have a few questions:
I have a PC. What pads to use? DO I sand with the PC or by hand. What Grit Sand Papers would I need? I have local acess to 3M brand it that OK? I see most of the searches list Megs Unigrit. I am unable to find it locally. If someone knows of a dealer on LI in Nassau, I would appreciate the lead.
Should I wet or soak the paper. i have seen it written up both ways. (Does it matter).
I do not want to damage the clear coar so what is the best way to procede. Should I sand specifically on the spot to around it to blend it?
Lastly. What strength polishes are needed to bring back the finish? 3 steps? Please suggest products I can get locally. All I have is polishing compound, Ultima Paint Prep, Ultimate Finishing spray and SSR1. I would like to do this on Saturday.
How long will it take to perform the above? Do not know how long the sanding and pl;oiushing process should take given my first timer status?
As always, thanks for your input, expdrtise and suggestins.
