Thumbs up Wet sand and Polish Job

I was wondering if any one here knows how to wet sand a car and polish it after the painting is completed or knows some one that knows how.

I will pay you of course but im looking for something cheap i know a guy that will do it for around $100 but i don't want to drive the car anywhere.

Also just bc i know a guy that could do it for $100 doesn't mean thats my budget.

The other thing is it has to be done at my place and i could only supply the water and electric.

Im located in long beach 90813



Thanks

Moe

$100.00 wet sand and buff,,,

Spend a little more and get something that resembles quality. I'm just saying.

I use to do it many years ago.
So who ever you get should have references and work you can see, up close and personal.

That guy i said that does it for $100 is actually a guy i work with thats why its so cheap and i actually seen his work and its clean his painting sucks but his finishing is A+ i just don't want to drive the car to his place.

Right when i click post thread i remember talking to Dk and he said he does body work and he painted ilikeeatpoo's car i think. So i'll give him a PM.

So Daniel(Dk) and his friend Edger just got done wet sanding and buffing my S14, Zerox7 stopped by also.

It was getting dark so we weren't able to do the finishing touch on it.

I recommend him to anyone thats on a budget bc he's cheap, fast and does a good job! But you have to get him a combo bowl from Yoshinoya.

Here are some pics...




Thought this would be a funny picture, the old car on the wall and the new one right there.LoL

We were talking about that and we don't think the painter clear coated it but for a car that wasn't clear coated it came out ok.
