I wet sanded the spots I had filled with touch-up paint. I know some of you wanted to see the process.
First I went over the car and marked all the spots with blue masking tape while I let the 2000 grit paper soak in water. I also had a water spray bottle to keep the paper and area wet.
I sanded carefully and tried to keep the area wet. I also wiped with a microfiber cloth. The result was a matte area with a barely visible spot of touch-up paint that was completely smooth.
The next step is to wash the car and then rub and polish it before applying a layer of wax.
In some places the touch-up paint came completely off, which lead to the chip being visible again. This happened in four or five places out of the 40-50 I was working on.
Considering this was my first time trying something like this, I think the result was acceptable. The remaining chips will be taken care of eventually. But this is good enough for now.
The touched-up chip is marked and ready for sanding.
Apply a liberal amount of water.
Start sanding carefully.
Already quite flat.
Water wiped off and it feels smooth. You can barely see it.
Just some areas that I went over. Hopefully it will be shiny when I'm done.
