Greetings. First time poster, long time lurker and lifelong Meguiars product user. I always used the basic stuff, but in the past few years I've taken more time to make my truck look better.
Long story short, I got truck bed liner overspray all over the truck. I first used regular clay, then aggressive, and there was still some grittiness I just couldn't rid of.
Next step, wetsanding. I used 800 in a few areas with moderate-deep scratches, even if not getting them out all the way, definitely reducing their appearance. However, after 800, I used 1000, 2000, then 3000....and I could still see the sanding lines. I tried re-sanding with a more uniform pattern and changing paper often. It helped, but not enough.
I'm thinking, and hoping, a wool pad with some aggressive rubbing compound is my next step. No more sanding, I don't want to sand again unless that is the absolute final way..
I tried taking a pic, but they don't seem to come out right and it looks ok... But in person, the lines are visible especially if the light hits the right way.
So my plan is a wool pad with 3M Perfect-It EX compound, followed by M105 and 205.
Do I have any hope of getting my paint clear again?
Thanks,
Ricka
