  • 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
  • Jayson M : you have the swimming pool effect,that sucks
  • Jayson M : half the time there isn't enough paint on them from the factory for coverage,hard to match

Polishing a Scratch Out (Presta Wool System)

This is part of a large mazda collision repair job where the tow truck drivers magnetic lights scratched the hood. After a bit of work we have it looking like new again.

First the scratches are sanded down with some 1500 grit paper on a 3 inch hutchins sander. Next the Coarser wool pad is popped on with some compound and removes the 1500 grit scratches. Afterwards I use the finer wool pad (green) and remove the coarser scratches from the black wool pad. A final going over with some swirl mark remover brings the hood to a high gloss, swirl free finish.

    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! My question is: Do you know if this model has just a single level paint (clear coat and paint in one), or has two stage (paint, then clear
