Has anyone wet sanded and buffed their factory paint?

I have had my car wet sanded a few times because of being keyed. The guy that I found has a very good technique and it always turns out nice.

Hello,

Yes, actually I have done hundreds of wet sand and polish jobs.


Not a job for a beginner. If you can wetsand and polish 10 beater cars before you do your Corvette I suspect that you could learn to do the work!

Good Luck,

Douglas in Green Bay
