  • lild : Too bad they ran off'd outlaw Sad
  • lild : Hey those guys r bery entertianing.espicailly when ryan or ding gets into it
  • lild : Yea, it would be easier just to clear all the around to the other side, but nooooooo. Who wants to do it the easy way?
  • Jayson M : ask the pros on the 101 what to do,I'm sure you will get some funny answers Laughing
  • Jayson M : I bet
  • lild : I had to do two of those cover, just spot, & blend the upper color was fine, I'd matt clear both, & buff the upper part, but the bottom can be tricky to blend the clear.
  • jeremyb : makes me glad I sling mud and block primer all day when I run into problems like this Mr. Green
  • lild : Yep, feel like I look thru the damn chip book for hrs trying to find the right color
  • Jayson M : yeah buick enclave,too many colors to choose from for cladding,I have been kicked in the balls once or twice by those pricks Mad
  • lild : But I have a trick for that kind of blend Confused
  • lild : Now if u want some fun, try a buick suv, fixed the rear cover, top is shiney, lower is flat, & u have to blend the matt finish,& make the blend flawless
  • jeremyb : I might just reshoot it and clear the quarter piece. the difference will be less noticeable where it rolls down to the rocker and door
  • Jayson M : having said that you will do 10 this week
  • lild : I honestly have to say we hadn't had to do a matt finish cladding in a while

This is a polishing demonstration using the Presta polishing system.

Steps that were taken:

1. Touched up the scratch with catalized clearcoat

2. Wetsanded with 600 grit over the scratch

3. Sanded with 1500 using a small DA sander. You can just wetsand if thats all you have.

4. Tape your edges and moldings..

5. Polish using the presta black wool pad and cutting creme.

6. Polish using green wool pad and 1500/chroma polish

7. Polish using the blue foam pad and swirl mark remover.

    I have been referencing your video "How to Polish a Black Car", purchased all refinishing materials, and am ready to go. In doing the first step (2000 grit wet sanding), with minimal pressure on small scratches, I am down to the primer paint level very quickly!
