How to correct wet sanded stone chip repairs from previous detailer

Post by wilwong1971 » Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:40 pm

Hi all

Shot in the dark.

I had a previous detailer who did paint correction on my car that included filing in stone chips included, great idea and the time but he never got to make good despite coming back several times to have a go at the bonnet.

Sadly he has gone out of business but it always bugged me when my car is in sunlight and you can see.

Is there anyway of polishing this out ? (I have a DAS 6 and various cutting compounds) or am I looking at a bonnet respray ? 🤔

Thanks all

Yes, maybe tackle these with 2000 or 3000 grit paper (make sure you keep it wet) then that should polish out.

I used some menzerna medium compound on a stiff mop on a dual action for similar sanding I did on some stone chip repairs and it got all of it out. That was after using 3000 grit paper left the dull areas.
