How to detail the blemishes??

[IminDiegoTriick]

Im a Nub when it comes to detailing but I try. What compounds should I use to get red of these blemishes. I claybarred and waxed to get the most I can out of them but they are still there.. and then I made a boo boo and sand papered 320 grit them to get some out.. big mistake. now it looks janky :doh2: Now what should I do. can an auto detailer fix this? Or should I just repaint it?

For where you sanded: sand with progressively finer sandpaper until you get to 1500 or 2000. Then buff with M105 or Ultimate Compound (Both Megiars products, but others will work too) You should be pretty satisfied with the finish, but if you would like more shine you can use a finer polish like M205.

If you didn't sand some areas, just buff it out with the UC (or similar). You might need to use some 1500 or 2000 sandpaper, but you want to be careful not to sand too much away.

+1. Follow instructions ^ above, but I would wet sand to avoid rubbing debris into the surface. I would start w/ 800-1000 grit and see how that works first. If it looks like it is working (removing scratches) then go up progressively from there until you get to 2000+ grit and then buff it w/ compound. I also find Megiars works great.

If you are unclear about the process at all just search auto body wet sanding on google or something and you should be able to find tips and detailed explanations w/ ease.

Yea I forgot to mention that. You definitely want to be wet sanding. ;)

If you are a newb, I would not be gun ho about using 800 grit and try to make it happen. I would work the other way down since I would suspect you would have difficulty judging the severity of what grit to use. I would use 2000 wet and see if it is working fast enough, if not then lower it down to 1500 then to 1000 wet. Because if you dont know what you are doing especially around those edges... with an 800 it doesnt take more than a couple second to rub off the paint.

Just my 2 cents.
