I was sanding a paint chip with 1500 grit sandpaper than I used 2000 grit sandpaper.I created a slight dip in the clear coat that if seen on a angle you would think there is a dent/ding.I'm not keen on using the sand paper again.Would it be best to use polish and in time the clear coat would even out?Any info would be great.Thanks Joe

Re: Polish clear coat
I'll rephrase.The clear coat has a slight valley.I was trying to sand a paint blob and instead of placing the sanding block flat on the surface I used the edge of the sanding block.I'm between using using the sanding paper(1500-2000 grit) or scratch remover.Thanks Joe

Re: Polish clear coat
If you have managed to sand a valley into the clear coat then I reckon you are stuck with it unless you get the entire area re-sprayed! In this case it is easy to takeaway but not so easy to add!
Depending of the thickness of the clear coat someone with a lot of experience may be able to sand it a bit more to make it less obvious - they would need to know what they are doing though!
BTW: I would reckon you would get better attention if you post this thread into the correct forumLast edited by Atlantean; Nov 6, 2008, 06:37 AM.

It might be possible for an experienced Pro to sand the area surrounding this low area and then remove all the sanding marks but this too would pose some level of risk and would be best done by machine using a hard backing plate with a high grit paper, something like the 3M Trizact System.
Hope this helps...
