Wet sanding.....quick question How many times can a double cleared paint job be wet sanded?
For when you get tiny scratches, water spots that will not go away, things like that.
I was polishing my car today and found a 1 inch long tiny scratch...can't feel it with my nail, but its easy to see. Stuff like that is what I;'m wondering about.
Also....can you just wet sand a small spot to remove a scratch, or do you have to do the entire car to make it look even?

You should be able to sand it out pretty easy, use a small soft wet sanding block with 2000 grit till it's gone just take it slow then buff.
If it's been painted, let dry sanded n recleared then you still need to becareful if you cut though the top clear you will see a ring their always and need to be recleared again to get rid of.but compound n polish will get out most small stuff for the scratches just do as I said above n you'll be fine, just take your time and be carefull (especially around body lines cause the clear is thinnest there) n you'll be fine.

A shop that wet sanded my entire car, who partners with the guy who painted it, said they will do the entire car for $300.00, then buff it all. But they'll just do it where it needs it. So I'll mark with yellow post-it notes everything I can find, then drop it off for 2 days.
