Hi, I have actually put this up by replying to an old thread but don't know how appropriate it is. So please pardon me for starting a new thread.
I have tried to touch a few stone chips on my front bumper and is getting desperate for more advise.
I have tried the methods listed here countless times and have tried re-doing the process over and over again....every single time I have the same outcome. The outline of the chip can always be seen very distinctively. I don't have a DA or any machinery and I am polishing by hand using Meguiar's Rubbing compound and polishing compound (with a microfibre cloth) after sanding with 3000 grit sand paper. I don't have access to Merzena's in Singapore. And I read that some recommends 3M Perfect it III, but in Singapore, I can only find 3M Perfect It. We do have a decent supply of Meguiars and Sonax. Which polish should I use to properly blend?
My process: I usually sand until there is still a very slight bump before polishing. I tried sanding until the blob is level, but when I polish from there, a crater forms. I usually leave the touch up paint to dry for 4-5 days before sanding. My car is an Audi (Ibis White).
Do I really need a machine to polish and buff rather than just using hands?
Please advise. Thanks in advance!
