Default Need input from detailing gurus!!

Just got my PC kit, but before I do my TA, I thought I would practice on my Fiero. However, the Fiero has plastic body panels, not metal, but it still has clear coat/base coat paint. Would there be any problems with compounding, polishing, waxing, and sealing. Thanks for the input.

Nope.....no problem. The base/clear is the surface that is effected.....doesn't matter what's underneath. The one thing you might be careful of is flexing the panels to much.....shouldn't be a problem....but it depends on if the paint is good enough....you could get spider web cracking.

Be careful though....you can burn through the clear.....it's especially touchy for edges.

Thanks. I don't really want to do my Ta first. The Fiero will be good practice
to start.
