I've done another stupid thing, I tried to wet sand the scratched out of my T-top. I used 1000 then 2000 grit paper. first I soaked the sand paper in water for 15 minutes. Then I sandes the top with 1000 and then 2000 paper. I kept the top wet while doing it with spraying soapy water on top. the top now has a REAL dull finish and it will NOT shine with the wax I put on. Am I screwed or is there some magic wax I can use? From now on I stick to mechanical ONLY. Thanks in advance.

 

yu need to polish it out with a buffer and some fine polish you should be ok....Meguiars makes good products

 

Wet sanding leaves a dull finish and you need to buff it out.

 

there is also 2000 and 4000 grit paper....use those, after the 4000 grit paper, the finish will be a dull shine. The T-Tops, are they made of glass or some other material? You may need to buff them with a very very fine compound, 3M Perfect It III System has the compound. Don't use a buffer, but buff by hand.

 

Meguire's # 2 or # 3. Use a terry cloth towel or wash cloth. Squirt a little on and rub in with medium pressure until the liquid is gone. After that you will need some wax. Good luck!

 

Is the polish you are talking about also called rubbing compound? And THANKS for the reply, you made my day.

 

use a medium grade of rubbing compound, 3M makes a good product, you can put this on by hand in a circular motion. It wont hurt the rest of the finish if you get it on it. Then use a good cleaner wax then a sealer wax. I would also suggest Maguires wax. good luck. This is a simple procedure

 

it goes in this order 1000 grit paper, 2000 grit paper, rubbing compound , polishing compound, glaze,wax.....different companies call it different things go to meguiars website for more info they make a great product

 

Oops...me bad...for some reason I thought the tops were clear...forget what I said about a buffer, ok to use it....

Yes, rubbing compound, but use the fine grit
