Hologram new paint... Need some help from you Adams PC guys...

Just repainted my front fascia.

Painter did a great job but it's now got holograms from the wet sand \ buffing we did.

All I have is the orange and white Porter Cable pads with SHR and FMP....

This is my first time using a PC. I just want to be sure there are no special things I need to do or be concerned about. Clear was applied on Sat has cured all day Sunday and today...

Any thoughts or advice???

I saw the new Adams vid where he PC'd the 62 vette.... but that was Adam... Unfair advantage if you ask me...



Thanks in advance guys/gals.

DO NOT WAX OR SEAL THE REPAINTED AREA. It is too soon as the paint hasn't gassed out yet.

You can use detail spray. It won't hurt anything. You should be fine polishing the paint after about a week in my experience. It allows the paint to get harder over the cure time.

You're fine on the detail spray... but I'd definitely wait a bit longer before doing anything to it. Still a tad fresh to be messed with.

Stay away from edges, points or corners ( where surfaces change direction) This is where clear n paint is the thinest typically .
