When wet sanding, you absolutely must have a rotary polisher and a wool cutting pad to have enough cut to restore and refine the surface to eliminate all hazing and small scratches left by the wet sanding. Working it by hand can only do so much and won't be enough. You might see a bit of gloss on the clear coat and think that you did your job, but once exposed to proper over cast sun light rays, you will clearly see the holographic-like discoloration that is still left behind.

pho shizzle you've got an email mate...
Yeah, wetsanding by hand didn't really do it.
Where one egg hit the paint is chipped down to the primer. Can't do much about that right now. But where it ran down the window onto the door... Thats what I'm trying to fix asap. Then I have to get someone to match the custom color and make me a touch up kit.
Yeah, thats gonna be difficult and I'm not sure where to even start with that one. LOL
ahem.

I suppose I felt a little better when the wife said she talked to a neighbor two doors down who was replacing all the fenceposts and pressure washing the front of their house. Apparently their whole front of the house got tp'd and the vandals ripped up like 10 of their picket fence posts the same night....

Yeah, I feel "slightly" better. lol... Doesn't change the fact that the paint is chipped to **** above the rear drivers door but hey, I hope I wasn't a specific target.
Neighborhood is full of kids. I catch someone messing with my stuff again they're gonna get a nasty non-lethal suprise.

Yeah, I'd have to go on record and state that this type of crap is all whiffle son. Honestly, I was a kid once too but never, ever messed with anyones ride.

Sorry to read about this Dave. I got egged a couple of times when I lived in SF. So hard not to get upset. Hope you get your car resolved. Such a sweet sweet ride bro!
