it had to be done it just so happens pektel had to treat us to some pics of his car...like how the thread got high jacked by pektel lol
Okay, so it's part of the paint process that causes the orange peal effect.
Wet sanding is the usual way to correct this?
What does wet sanding do to the paint job? Strip the clear coat? Prepare the paint for oxidation?
pics are up

What grit did you use ?
Mostly 2000. On the rougher areas, I started with 1500, then followed with 2000. Then Menzerna Power Gloss/wool pad, then Menzerna Super Intensive polish/green foam polishing pad, then Menzerna PO85rd/3M UK blue waffle finishing pad.
nice thread hijack. why don't the mods rename this thread to detailing with pektel the pic whore
Nice job, OP.
That is one clean-ass white LS! Paint looks to be in great shape!
ditch that front plate!
Dude, don't park in Handicapped spots. You never know when someone will need one. And yes, I have a vested interest; my father-in-law is handicapped.
You should paint your keypad body color. It looks much nicer, especially on a light colored car. BTW, that stupid pin stripe is gone. I peeled it off!
Please remove chrome pillars.
thanks a lot man i really appreciate it, and as far as the plate goes i want to get rid of it but NJ requires a front plate, i got a $54 ticket for that a few years back.
