few quick questions:

im asuming that my car has cear on it, how much, idk

we just spent some time detailing it w/ wizards and after a cood cut n' shine, we found some problem spots.....

one was a weak spot in the paint that really didn't burn, but rather it looks like someone hit it w/ a hammer. i plan on sanding it and filling it in w/some unthinned paint.

from my understanding, ill have to hit it with some clear after its all prettied up again right?


another is there's some (i dont know if its orange peel) but it looks like someone hit it with a mini shotgun, theres dots all over. almost like some rough overspray. i didn't dare push it any further than what i did in fear of burning through.

im assuming that this is in the clear and that i'll be able to get away with using some 1500 grt. wet sand and then buff it back out again to take this out??

thanks guys

Clear coat is not a given. If your car has original paint, it's not clearcoat, it's enamel only. If its been repainted, maybe it is and maybe its not clearcoat paint.

As for the rest of your questions, its hard to tell whats going on without some decent pictures.
