Re: Detailed: 1994 Acura NSX
nice job. can you describe the difference between polish and wax? i wanna clean my car up after i paint it but i know im going to have lots of orange peels in it. would polishing it with a high quality polish/pad going to be able to remove most the orange peels? im going to try my best to eliminate them during the painting process but im having a hard time on my practice panels.

Use finer and finer sandpaper before the clear.

yeah i know orange peeling is caused by too high of air pressure. but he hvlp gun i bought doesnt have a pressure gauge. i bought one but its ------- impossible to find the correct fitting. and im a cheap *** so i am using single stage enamel from tractor supply. if i sand it im worried ill ---- it up. thats what i wanted to know if i can use some high end polish to help get rid of the orange peels.
we never get many NSX's over here

Change your name too for the love of God. Clean 4 U sounds so elementary. Not trying to be an -------, but your work is on par so your name should be too. Make it sound more rich, as the current name sounds like you should be vacuuming out cars and removing bird ----.

wet sand FTW, its almost impossible to ---- up wetsanding. fill buket with hot soapy water, fold sandpaper in square(2000-4000 grit), rossways sanding action as to not have lines in the paint get you glassy smooth sufaces. just sand till its smooth dont go crazy with it.
nice job on the NSX, i wish i had the patience to detail cars..
