Polish - 10/31/2006 6:59:57 PM    fireballer44 Posts: 203 Joined: 7/14/2006 From: North Little Rock, AR Status: offline Hey all, I am sure someone can help me. I have done this before but I wanted some input before I bought some new polish. I had a small chip and a huge paint peel on my car. I finished the small chip's touch up and wet sanded it with 1000 grit. It is nice and smooth and looks seamless. I haven't done this in like 3 years so I don't even remember what polish I used. I am still working on the big peel on the mirror, makes me thrilled with my paint (it is so dang thick). The chip was so deep it actually took a piece of the mirror. So, I am still layering it and getting it filled up. So, what polish do you guys recommend to fix up the sanded area?? Preferably something I can get locally...but I am open to anything. Thanks!! _____________________________ 1991 Honda Accord LX 5-Speed Post #: 1

The aggressive polish will remove the sanding marks but leave marring of its own. The finishing polish will then remove the marring from the first polish. Once you're satisfied with the look you need to protect it with Wet Paint, sealant, or wax. Meguiars should be available in auto stores, etc. I'm assuming the work will be done by machine so start with the least aggressive pad initially then step up to a more aggressive one until the desired results are achieved. The finishing polish should be done with the least aggressive pad. Good luck. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to fireballer44) Post #: 2

Claying is always a good idea but I thought you said you had done that not long ago?? _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to YeuEmMaiMai) Post #: 5
