I've corrected most of the scratches for my car and it looks good, but besides in applying a 'wet' wax like Blackfire all the time-- what can I do for it look like that all the time without having to apply a wax all the time?

Also, what is the proper way to wet sand? I need to do this on both factory paint and non-factory paint. I know factory paint is soft but someone rear ended my door and I did PDR but there is some deep scratches there that a polisher wouldn't get out. Going to try wet sanding but if it doesn't work just going to get it blended/painted.

Thx

This kind of work should only be undertaken by a professional or hobbyist detailer; who is experienced in colour-sanding (wet-sanding) / paint renovation, more so than detailing, someone who uses a paint thickness gauge (PTG) to measure and document the vehicles paint as this is a technique is capable of removing ~ 2.5 – 5.0 µ (microns) > 0.1 to 0.2 Mil of clear coat

Results will vary depending on your ability and the thickness of the factory finish. Wet-sanding (colour-sanding) a complete vehicle body may be beyond the capabilities of the average detailer or enthusiast; in this case we strongly encourage the reader to consult a professional detailer.

Correct wet-sanding takes a lot of experience and practice to perfect. This statement is not meant to question anything related to your detailing or paint re- finishing abilities just my opinion on the risks involved

its a professional job.. usually you would want to get a paint thickness gauge. then proper sandpaper, polisher, and polishes..

Yea. I'd never tackle a wet sand project on my own. I've done tiny spots n hazy lights but I was terrified.

It's a tricky process. You have to know exactly what you're doing.
