Hi!

What do you guys use after the wetsanding of a clearcoat?
Would meguiars polish work?
I'd need something from online resellers that post to belgium...

Cheers

Are you using a machine? I have read good things about Farecla G3 for removing wet sanding marks, but I would think it would take quite a while by hand.I think there are quite a few threads on G3 on the Detailing World forum.

Paints4U stock it and post abroad.

G3 will be fine & probably best. As stated will take some time by hand, but it can be done. If you are doing it by hand, do one panel at a time. Use a good mutton cloth & a little water. Use one piece to apply & another to polish off.

I like scholl and menzerna compound, I found G3 far to messy as it has to be used with water.

i found it hard to remove all the 1500 scratches so moved up to 2000.

 

1500 took all the orange peel out nice and fast, the 2000 was taking a long time.

 

A machine buffer is definitely needed, this is my first time doing anything like that :shades:
