Marq,

I'm almost ready with the car..
The dust that is now on the paint on the car,
how can this be removed??? polishing??
or wetsanding with p2000??



I guess it depends on 'how much' dust is on the paint ( or stuck to it ).

If there is a fairly significant layer of dust... I would probably go the 'wash it with some liquid dish soap in a bucket' and hose it down. That would dislodge most surfactants.

In theory if the dust is not too embedded in the paint, you could probably move on to a very very light wetsanding using a minimum 2000+ grit paper, and some running water.

If the dust is barely negigible.. you could just go straight to the polishing stage. 'Polishes' are like a 3000+ grit so it is something like using a finer degree of wetsanding.

.



The amount of dust is a fairly significant layer..
So you suggest to use a bucket with lquid soap?
What is the purposel of the soap ??
polishing effect??? or does it wipe the dust off?

And if I use a 2500 grid wetsanding paper,
does this remove the gloss of the paint??
or does this only remove the dust and not the gloss?
