Hello, detailing newbie checking in.
Just repaired a nasty nasty scratch and am pretty satisfied with the result. Problem - got a strange spot just under the scratch that looks like paint damage due to wetsanding. I used 2000 grit, and I honestly have no clue how I got it - it's well below the scratch I was sanding.
Pics are below.
I had to zoom in to get it in the picture, it's really tiny, about nail sized.
Two questions:
-What could I possible do wrong with my wetsanding to cause this? This is my first car and I'm a really DIY guy, and not afraid to make mistakes... as long as I learn what I did wrong for the future :]
-What are my options in fixing this spot? Thankfully it's an inconspicious area, but I'd love to get it done anyways
Thanks in advance
You can see the darker spot in the top left.
I circled the scratch on top and the darker patch on the bottom. Sorry for Paint quality.
