Is it orange peely or dirt in the paint or what? If its just dull u wont need to wet sand it... Jst polish the shit outta it... If any of the above then wet sand it and then polish th shit outta it

[jake4]

just swirl marks and lil scrapes here and there

just swirl marks and lil scrapes here and there

give the swirl marks a good hard rub with a cloth with some compound and a bit of spit/water
If they start to get smaller you'd get them out with compound buffing no need for wet sanding
another good way to tell is if you wet car where the worst marks are, if they dissapear when wet they will buff out.

Be very careful if you attempt to sand your lacquer only use 2000 grit sia paper if your inexperienced in body refinishing.
sand a little with a rubber block and dry off keep doing this checking as you go making sure ya don't go through the lacquer.

Your better off letting that lad Keith do it for ya if your not confident, go and watch him do the job you'll get the idea for next time, if ya make a balls of it you'll have to fork out for a respray.

Best of luck with it lad

not sure, but a wet sand will delete any gloss in the paint!

Just buy or rent out a buffer or get a detailer to buff it for you..

kinda thing youd wanto know what your doing and will need a buffer just flatten the area not too much and go through with 2000 wet paper then use a rough compound fast cut g3 etc and a fine glaze after that and regular polish after but again youd want some1 who knows what there doing any bodyshop or valeters even should acomadate you no problem
