No, he polished his wheels.

I'm still not convinced you just wetsanded your car so that helps a lot. When I see it on mine, that's when I'll be convinced. Damn crap still isn't here.

Yeah I wetsanded about 4 months ago and buffed the paint, but remember its a 1 stage paint with no clear coat too.I know I'm convinced. I had swirl marks and scratches in some areas that are now gone. It also gave my car a darker color too. Now I dont want to drive to work tomorrow cause it will be dirty again in only 1 day man I hate living down 5 miles of dusty dirt road.

I own a California car duster, takes the dust off fantastic! But it leaves scratches all over my car!, not just here and there scratches, but very fine scratches where I wiped it, like on the entier car! You can see them from angles and it makes the car look dirty, but when I polish and wax the scratches go away

beautiful job, I love the deep black paint... Mark was saying something wetsanding the car...can you just lightly wetsand and then polish to restore the paint? If so, what liquid do you use with wet sandpaper?

Well, I used my Formula 113 and Bead-X today and the stuff really is good. I haven't tried anything else before besides Carnauba (sp?) wax to compare to, but my car has a very deep shine now, I love it. The stuff goes on and comes off so easy. Too bad I still have $85 worth of unused Zaino upstairs

I guess 86Street is wanting to know which motor I have? I have a mildy peppy V6 which gets me 275 miles a tank. I also made a coustom emblem and welded it onto the plenum and polished it, and have chromed valve covers. Side note I need to repolish my plenum and throttle body.

Clear coat info

Yea. Camaros did not get base coat/clear coat paint until 1986. It was fun to wax my friends 85 Iroc and when you are done have 5 bright red rags. But it sure did shine well
