Wet Rubbing
When preparing to start polishing the 69 Vert i gave it a quick wash with Quick Detailer and Microfibre Cloths, then rubbed the back of my hand over the area to be polished to check for any rough feeling areas. There were 2 such areas on the top of each guard. I gave each spot a going over with Clay which left them smooth for polishing -
However on the bootlid there was some overspray. Tried the Clay first, but found it could not remove the overspray. Only option was to Wet Rub it off.
When using Wet or Dry on a car you need to be extremely careful. Paint is only Microns thick, so care must be taken not to break through the clearcoat or you will ruin the paint job.
Do not use anything coarser than 2000 grit. Also, you do not just use your hand or fingers to rub or you risk putting fingermark indentations into the paint. The correct tool to use is a colour sanding Sponge/Pad. The Wet or Dry is cut into quarters. You put a piece into a bucket of water to soften it for about 20 - 30 minutes, then wrap it around the colour sanding Pad.
You need to have a little bit of running water while sanding the area. Just enough water flow to keep the area wet and remove the paint as it comes off. I use a Chux and just dip it in the water then squeeze it gently with one hand while rubbing with the other. It only took about one minute to cut through the overspray -
Then after dring the area off i buffed it with Menzerna PF2500. It looked good, but upon closer inspection from all angles i could still see a few scratches so i used a little cutting compound to eliminate them -
