And then I had some time to 'attack' the roof. As per earlier picture it was pretty bad. Yesterday I machined polish but that didn't work so well.
So thanks to Amazon deliveries I got some wet sandpaper and for the first time ever I've wet sanded. I was a bit apprehensive considering I have never done that before, and have no idea of how much paint, clear-cut is left on the car....
Scary moment! I started with 1,000 GRIT and worked my way up to 2,000 GRIT paper.
The dark patches is the water/soap mixture from wet sanding, but seeing what it looks like, I was bricking it by that stage as it looked pretty bad, but felt smooth like a babies bottom
So I continued and did some polishing with my DAS-6 machine. First Poor Boys SSR 3.5, then 1.0 and finished it off with Poor Boys Black Hole. Then buffed it before applying Natty's paste wax.
Ok it is not perfect, but it is a million times better than what it was, and I don't feel the urge to drive it to a body shop.
All in all, I'm happy, Daughter is happy, my wife noticed the difference. Well worth spending a few hours on it. |
