He used touch up paint on the hood and then sanded it, can I do that on my Si? I got egged by some idiots when I first had the fg2 for about a month and now I need to get that out without paying for an entire side respray! Where can I get those products he mentioned?

Once dry I used a 3M Finesse-it hand block, with 3M 268L Finesse-it 9 micron abrasive petals with Megs Last touch as a lube to flatten back the chips that were in isolated places. Areas that had multiple touch ups close together were flattened back using Megs 2500 followed by 3000 unigrit paper (which had been soaking in a bucket of water for a couple of days to soften) with a Megs sanding block.

This is the quote:

Most likely your decent local auto parts store. He was using a lot of Meguiars (Megs) and a lot of 3M and Zymol stuff. All stuff you can find at the local auto shop. You might have to visit more than one shop...since some carry some brands and others carry other brands. I know pepboys, autozone and advance around me have about 95% of this stuff...and I can pick replacements for the rest off the shelf.

Checoman · 12-01-2007, 07:04 PM

I'm not alone in the world hahaha ... I learned a lot from this guy , I'm obsessed with detailing

Si4Life · 12-02-2007, 08:23 PM

klumzypinoy · 12-09-2007, 03:57 AM
