I have burned the clear...

Hi guys,

I have painted my old car with primer, acrylic and clear on the top and it looks pretty good but last week I have used an electric polisher/buffer to buff out the car and I burned the clear coat on few spots. I have used the buffering compound but I think that the problem was because I used about 3000rpm which is obviously too high speed for this job. I do not think that the clear is burnet to the base coat so I think that this problem can be resolved. Can wet sanding be useful in this situation or do you have any other suggestions?

thanks

Lightly wet sand the area with 2500 grit and I recommend hand polish back to a shine because mils is already an issue. I have been doing restorations over 30 years, and find that ooops do happen. But seriously, this is the best way to fix the problem.
To avoid repeated problems such as this in future, either use a variable speed trigger controlled polisher or use an air buffer (this allows you to control the speed for alot less). Hope this helps.

Thanks mate for quick reply. I will try to wet sand this afternoon. I already used variable speed(from 1 to 6) polisher but I didn't know what speed is the best for buffering.


cheers
