wet sand a year later?

Last June I repainted my car from the ground up. It was a LONG *** job so I was impatient and didnt completely finish wet sanding.

Does anyone know if it would work to wetsand 10 months later and then buff and polish? I don't see why not.

Thanks.

You can wet-sand 10 years later, as long as there's still some clear-coat left.

it really depends on the clear. i have buffed cars after a couple months with no problems. i know with PPGs concept 2021 clear. it is extremely difficult to buff out a month or two later. i have actually had to reclear cars because of this. i think that you will be fine though.
