    Painted my car last week and just started the wet sanding. Thought I would post my progress. I forgot how much work wetsanding is.

    Beautiful!! I did a Beetle but it didn't look THAT good. How about posting the materials (compounds, pads, wax or whatever) you used.

    Simply incredible! (y)

    I'm no painter, there is no clear coat on that right? Are clear coats a big no-no?

    Mean,

    Your HDD took your attention off to another Mav or Comet. Maybe you'll wet sand the Green Grabber.

    That car looks like a big shiny candy. Careful or your going to be afraid to drive it. :) Beautiful work. :thumbs2:
