Wetsanding then polishing with a PC?

**kovalchuk71** · 03-30-2009, 01:31 PM

Is this possible? I have some scratches (I can feel with my nail), that I would like to either get out or severly diminish. Can I polish the scratches from wetsanding out with a PC and how would I go about doing this? Thanks guys!

You can with Meguiars 105 but I would have to think a rotary would do a better job.

Menzerna Powergloss + 4" orange LC pad is my combo for wetsand marks

Can you post some close up pics?

Generally, if you can feel it with your finger nail, it`s too deep. Do not try

to level the surrounding paint to that depth as you`d only be asking for

trouble.

I don`t use a PC but folks have been able to work wonders it seems.

Right, aim for "better" and not "perfect". Don`t want to thin the clear too much.

I`ve never had problems removing ~2K-3K sanding scratches via PC. Consider that the sanding marks are a lot of fine, closely-bunched little scratches. Compare the "damage" from sanding with 2K to the damage of a nasty RIDS...and people take out RIDS via PC all the time (people even do it by hand behind door handles). The hazing from 2K paper is a lot less serious than a nasty fingernail scratch behind a door handle.
