    Re: My first wet sanding experience

    I`ve never had the guts to wet sand.
    Picking up a panel from a junkyard makes tooooo much sense.
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    Right!?! I need to wet sand a few spots on my wife`s car - I was just going to jump in head first. But now... I think I`ll practice a little first.

    Has any one had luck calling a local body shop for a test panel? I ask because there are more body shops around me then junk yards...

    How long you planning to keep that car? Is the damage something that`ll never happen again?

    I`m *awfully* particular about our vehicles, but I`ll never wetsand Accumulatorette`s A8 lest I overthin the clear. She and I`ve discussed a few spots and she said to just leave `em. But hey, that`s just our situation- a car that`s never getting replaced that has to haul all sorts of people/pets, one of those "[stuff]`s gonna happen" things.

    jerry r- Huh, you sure do have some interesting products that I`ve never heard of! Though that Ferecla stuff sounds familiar...

    And yeah I hear you on making spots stand out on an orangepeeled finish! A few of my cars have awful orangepeel and anything rezlly aggressive is gonna result in some obvious diffs.

    Oh we`ll have her car for a while. And yeah there`s a scratch that I accidentally put in the hood that needs touching up followed by wet sanding. My goal is to take my time and fix it the right way so I can stop being reminded about how careless I was in the first place

    I got a hood from a body shop about 2 weeks ago, currently testing some products on. I just kept calling around, eventually found a good one.

    Angus- Ah, OK...you`re using touchup paint! That`s different..just be careful on the surrounding OE paint and only level your touchup.
