Well, I finished wet sanding the car today. I want to start buffing it out soon, however Im not sure which compound to buff with, and what the proper technique is. Could someone elaborate for me please?

-Thanks

Hmmm...

What grit did you sand with, on what type of paint?

RedlineMan, quick question, what's the best paint stripper? I've used numerous, including Jasco, but none have worked particularly well.

I had heavy orange peel, So I wet sanded with 1000, then 1500, then 2000.

Acrylic urethan base/clear coat

Hey;

Clean Strip Aircraft is about the best around these days. Used to be one called Auto-F. Even ate up the steel can it was in when it first came out. They had to come up with a special plastic jug for it. Illegal now because of hazardous materials.

As for compound, I usually start with PPG DRX25/Parco Medium. If you want to default to a lighter grit first, you can try one of the series of Norton liquid abrasives. They have a very complete range from fairly aggressive to simple surface cleaners.



Basic rule of thumb is the lightest grit that will do the job expediently. Experiment to find out. You can always fall back on good old DRX25!

You can use TurtleWax Rubbing compound for a little bit. Then polish it up with TurtleWax Polishing compound. The Polishing compound will break down to a finer grit as you use it and you'll see the finish start to really shine.

I did the exact thing on my old 924, Pick up a bottle of 3M Finesse-it
Great Stuff

I used "Finesse It" as well after wet sanding. Works great. About $30 a quart.
