  • Repainted side of car. I have a couple quick questions

    The side of my car has been repainted early this month. The problem is, they were horrible and there are dips on part of the paint and scratches all over the place. To remedy this, I used some Ultimate Compound with the DA Power System on it to remove the scratches caused by either their wetsanding methods or their Rotary buffer. And then I used Ultimate Polish on it to get rid of those swirl marks. They were also horrible enough to actually have clear coat overspray on my windows, of course, I just clay bar the windows and the panels that didn't get a repaint to remove their overspray. Anyways in those processes I've used

    -Ultimate Compound
    -Ultimate Polish
    -Quik Detailer (basic)

    Are any of these products able to prevent my car's new repainted surface to "breathe"?

    If so, how can I remedy this? I really don't want to have another repaint.


    Thanks

    After using UC, UP, and UW... I'm not happy with smooth as glass.
    Smooth as Glass is an old standard, the new standard for paint texture is Meguiar's Ultimate Quality...

    Those should be safe on repainted surfaces. Avoid waxes/sealants or Ultimate Quik Detailers (UQD has polymers that might prevent outgassing). No issues, if you want something while waiting for the paint to cure, M80 speed glaze (has breathable polymers, will add gloss as well but must be reapplied regularly) or M07 Show Car Glaze or Deep Crystal Pure Polish, for car washes, stick with regular non-wax car wash like gold class, deep crystal or even NXT car wash
