Wet look

<< < (3/3)

Pete-r:
While I'm not sure how it compares to others in terms of which is best, mŷ regime is:

Meg's gold shampoo wash and rinse
CG lube and Meg's clay, then dry.
Optional machine with menzerna polish/finisher and a medium foam or soft waffle pad.
CG Jetseal 109 always after machining.
CG black polish, though the R222 will be what I'm trying next after I've used it up.
Wheels bilberry, then dry, then jetseal.

Here is my car right now. No photoshopping but the pic is through a patio door so a shade darker than in the flesh...

stealthwolf:
I love R222. It's what I use on the car around GTI inters last time and it looked awesome. Poor durability though - needed topping up every three weeks.  You are best applying it to paintwork rather than on top of a sealant, and I would ensure tar spots are removed prior to claying.

cuprajake:
I fully wet sanded my car, but I know how to do it lol.

Need to be very careful indeed.

JoeDarKa:
Black hole?

Wet sanding is a whole other world of pain.
Plenty of reasons why you shouldnt. Normal machine correction is normally fine.and wet sanding should only follow machining if the results are not gotten.
Knowing when to stop is important
