Left side done, right side left alone...



Before...



After...

 

Amazing job Gil! Those scratches looked deep. The toughest of all colors too!

 

how did you do it?it's an amazing job...

 

I wet sanded the panel, compounded it and then polished it. Followed up with a hand glaze and wax.

I have a detail shop, it's what we do daily.

 

Oh my, that's incredible. Got more detail "after" pics? Those scratches are deep. Is this car being sold? I doubt a negligent owner would spend money detailing a car unless it can't be moved without some fixing.

Amazing what you can do.

 

No, it was a girl who I was demonstrating what I can do on her car. She'll have the entire car done later this week.

 

great job there Stryke!

 

any car detail shop can do this amazing work?

 

I would like to think so but unfortunately some of the ones I have seen are butchers.

 

They looked awful deep to me, it is hard to believe you could wet sand them out and not go through the clear.

 

On real deep ones you may get a little color in the water but the alternative is to paint. Polish it out, keep it waxed regularly and it's fine.

 

no, but if your car is bad enough that it needs to be wet sanded I HIGHLY recommend this guy

Stryke, what grit paper did you use? I'm gonna do my first sanding project on my acura very soon. I'm getting nervous

 

3M 2,000. My advice is get a hood at a junk yard and **** it up until you're good to go on a real car.

 

wet sanding is something you don't want to mess with if you are not comfortable.

Like Gil said get some panels from the junk yard and work on it.
As you get better you can do on clients cars.
