^
If a paint blemish remains after buffing, reapply a small amount of material over the blemish. Confine your buffing strokes to the immediate area
of the blemish while applying additional downward pressure and keeping the pad flat.
NOTE: ALWAYS KEEP THE PAD MOVING AND LIMIT YOUR STROKES OVER THE BLEMISH TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT
BUILD-UP AND POSSIBLE BURN THROUGH. STOP IMMEDIATELY IF THE SURFACE BECOMES TOO HOT TO LAY THE PALM
OF YOUR HAND ON IT.
NOTE: HEAT BUILD-UP: WHEN BUFFING CREATES EXCESSIVE HEAT, HAZING MAY APPEAR ACROSS THE SURFACE BEING
BUFFED AND THE PRODUCT MAY DRY LIKE A FILM AND REFUSE TO BUFF OUT. TO REMEDY, WIPE THE AREA DOWN
WITH COOL WATER, DRY THE SURFACE AND RESUME BUFFING ... AT A LOWER RPM IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE: STATIC: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY BE PRESENT ON PAINTED FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC SURFACE BEING BUFFED, THE
MATERIAL MAY DRY LIKE A FILM OR TURN "GUMMY" AND BEGIN TO BALL UP. TO REMEDY, GROUND THE SURFACE
BEING BUFFED TO METAL.
WET SANDING
Paint defects and sanding marks must be completely removed without using compounds and abrasive cleaners that scar the finish.
Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Finesse Sanding Papers provide uniformity in grit particle size and distribution. Using these precision made sanding papers, water
sanding marks can be removed with Meguiar's cleaner and finesse polishing pads.
^
Typical paint defects that are repaired with this system include: dirt-in paint, solvent pop, cratering, orange peel, drips, scratches, water spots, and
acid rain.
^
Always use the least abrasive (highest grit) sanding products possible to do this job.
The following wet sanding procedure utilizes light grit sand paper or sanding blocks for removal of surface damage. These materials cut quickly leaving
a uniform finish requiring a minimum of buffing to restore gloss.
PROCEDURE
1.
Squeeze water to flush the area to be sanded. Continue to flush water to the surface during sanding for maximum lubrication.
2.
Use small circular motions to contain the abrasion to the immediate area of the defect. Keep the blocks in water when not in use.
3.
If the sanding block is cutting too slow, switch to a lower grade block and resume sanding. When 90% of the defect is removed, switch to a 2000
grade Finesse Sanding Paper or Sanding Block to finish smoothing and prepare the surface for buffing.
4.
Finesse Sanding Blocks can be shaped to work on any angle. When the block is wet, rub it against a dry sanding block for shaping.
5.
When using Finesse Sanding Papers, wrap the paper tightly around a E-7200 Backing Pad. This pad evenly distributes pressure over the entire
surface of the sanding paper. This creates a uniform sanding pattern.
6.
Plan your strokes to limit the abrasion to the smallest area possible.
NOTE:
ALWAYS SAND IN ONE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR STROKES STRAIGHT.
7.
Always finish sanding with 2000 Grit Finesse Sanding Paper. This eliminates the need for compounding.
8.
Buff out sanding marks by applying Meguiar's Cleaner with a Finesse "Foam" Polishing Pad. Follow with a Mirror Glaze Polish for swirl-free
gloss.

RUNS AND SAGS REMOVAL
This procedure consists of shaving the run or sag flush with a commercial single edge razor blade, shaving file or sanding with a hard block and then
compounding.
NOTE:
IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST DULL THE CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER
TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT PANEL FINISH.
