Nope not scary, I wet sand mine regularly, just took a scratch out with some. Also took some paint chip marks out by wet sanding. It's very simple to wet sand but you can over sand. I honestly don't think the paints as thin as everyone claims because I literally just did a area for probably over a minute of sanding and it got the scratch out but didn't bother the clearcoat or go too deep. I don't want to say this because I love my camaro but the OEM paint is absolute trash, the worse I've ever seen personally in a vehicle.

you dont want to wet sand oem paint over the whole car. modern car paint is 2 mils thick. a post it note is 3 mils thick. if you are going after a scratch here and there it is one thing, but if you are wet sanding entire panels, you will end up burning through the clear before the life expectancy of the paint runs out.

The recommendation is to use the least aggressive correction to maximize your clear life. if you are good with washing technique, you should be fine with a minor polish every year or two, no need for aggressive compounding, if your wash technique is good. definitely ditch the cover. you are not just scratching it while putting it on... if the car is outside, any cover movement caused by the wind will wear your clear pretty quickly over time. look at what clear bras or those other front end protection covers do. and those don't move as much as a cover can. |
