I was watching "trucks" the other day on spike, and he briefly talked about wet sanding your clearcoat very lightly with a 2000 grit sandpaper, then buffing the car with a compound. supposedly it will make older paint look much better. has anyone heard of this, tried it, or knows the details, what i need, and exactly how to do it? thanks

2000 umm no more like 3000 i have before but only one time and a detailer was helping me
YOU can not rub to long in one spot, you can get vary shallow marks out and every thing, and may bring back some shine.
wash car really good with dawn, and then wet sand do one panle at a time and do not swirl back and forth only then rise if you see a spot the may need more it's ok just go over it again. but if you take to much of fthe first time iTS BAD
after word i would get some REALLY good no oil wax in there such as Zanio and others
should be looking good after thatwww.turbov6camaro.com

I did it to my rear quarterpanel last sept with 2000 grit, and it turned out nice. Just like viper said though, do not rub too much in one area or you'll chew through the clearcoat.
After you rub it down with 2000 grit it'll look dull, until you wax it. And don't go cheap on wax! Mother's Phase II & Phase III, Meguires Gold Class, Zaino, etc. are exceptional car wax's.sigpic
