How to Test for Single Stage or Clear Coat Paint

To test for a single stage paint, try to find a light colored or white polish if you`re working on any kind of pigmented paint. If you`re testing white paint then try to use a polish with a color to it and a dark colored cloth, (so you can confirm that you`re removing white paint and not just seeing the color of the paint).



Use an ample amount for plenty of lubrication as you`re going to want to push firmly if no oxidation is present as was the case with the finish on the classic car.







Confirmed, we`re working on a single stage paint... also note the heavier accumulation were my fingers pressed down with the most pressure... this is because you can exert more pressure to the small area of your finger tips than you can with your entire hand, you can use this to work for you or cause problems depending upon what you`re trying to do...
