Wet sanding clear coat

[Collin]

The wet sanding of the clear has started. Going 1,000 grit, 1,500 then a 3,000 trizact.... Following that up with the buffer/polisher. Sure is stressful!

it'll be worth it.

I didn't even know they made a 3000 grit.

take your time and don't be in a hurry. don't get too carried away and go through the clear

 

[Jim S.]

Yes, low speed on the buffer, (1000 or lower) and stay away from the edges of the clear.
You can always go back and do the edges by hand with a cloth pad then, a foam pad.
Good luck!

Here is a good visual on 1500 vs 3000. The 3,000 just uses about 4 passes and that's it... Going to buff this weekend

I just wet sanded my RR and took two days and 4hrs to finish after I got the shine I wanted I put 4 coats of polysheild on it...its so slick you can't lean on it. 3m has a new micro compound with polish mix that cuts fast and less work! Yours looks real nice!
