I'm painting my car high gloss black. The areas that i wet sanded came out nice and smooth, but they turned very light grey. I used 800 grit for wetsanding if that matters.

I have tried two different wax nu2000, turtle wax with color guard and they didnt work. I just went to the store and got some of the recommended turtle wax and some turtle wax polishing compound. I'm currently trying those two and I will post the results. I dont understand why I cant get that gloss black look back after wetsanding.

I hope I can get the shine back.




Did you do a final sand with 2000gt? If your surface is looking grey it is probably because of scratches in the surface. I think 800gt is too coarse. Using an electric polisher works great. However, even with the Turtle Wax POLISHING COMPOUND it takes time. Once you finish with the polishing compound you should come to a nice smooth surface.. then you could follow up with a wax. I am not sure if the paint is the problem because others have been successful.
