Wet and Dry

[chimpy_bob]

Another person has managed to reverse into me. By car seems to be a magnet for bad drivers.
When I last had it repaired under the other persons insurance, because they could not match the colour, they applied wet and dry sandpaper to the car, then polished it. The result was great. No sign of any damage.
This time it is not an insurance job and would like to attempt this myself as its only a few minor chips. Has anyone got any tips on the grade of sandpaper etc. Also whether from sandpaper, to go straight to polish or do I need to do something in between?
Any help would be great.

1200 grit VERY wet, followed by a rubbing compound

Do not attempt his if you don't know what you're doing, it will be cheaper to get a new layer of laquer than replace the paint and laquer after you've fd it up

Find a car that no-one cares about to practice

IMO Don't do it yourself..

A local sprayshop did the Puma for me one day when I ..err.. anyway.. ..it took them 20 minutes and I bunged them £10 for it.. everyone's a winner and they had the right tools and compounds on hand to do it.
