I have noticed a trend of this as well. There is a local guy who posts on my local boards who by his own descriptions seems to love and live by aggressive method first. Every time I mention objectively to the board on the importance of progression to aggression, he gets defensive, tells me im trying to be "computer tough", and tells me I'm trying to prove myself(when my work and board feedback already has already proven).
He posted with a lighter colored new BMW with a good scuff and more than likely some decent scratches, where he 2step wetsanded, 3 or 4 step with a rotary and then 3 stepped with a cyclo.. Im sitting there thinking, ok well how much is left there? How many more times before striking through
I ask him "what was your first step? What did you try before resorting to wetsanding?" Went around the question(which I take as "I didn't try anything moderate first"). I mentioned how factory paints are not very generous and seeing as scuffs can be wide but fortunately not deep, it makes them an eyesore but are sometimes very easily corrected. Well he wasn't hearing any of it. A scuff, wetsand, period. And again made some silly childish comment to take the heat off..
But I think it depends, I am comfortable wetsanding but always try to push customers away from it on their daily drivers as its pretty much not worth their money for one scratch considering the potential compromise in clear integrity. You never really know.
Salty - I agree that's fantastic anecdotal feedback
