I liked it, Perfect for the rattle can tank. I'm also gonna look into the 3m kit he mentions at the end of the vid.
Thanks for the info. Pretty cool! G

Depends on what you consider compromise,
Scuffing the equivalent of fractions of millimeters , or more commonly know as "mils" won't compromise your clear unless you have only fractions of mils on there to begin with. Certainly if you were to get to aggressive, and "burn" or "scuff" through the clear to the base paint, well yes, then you have compromised the clear. Using 3000 or 4000 grit wet/dry sand paper by hand, is NOT gonna go through the clear unless you go APE all over your piece. It's really just FROSTING or DULLING the clear finish.

That's a great question;
If you've ever done any scratch removal on anything, car, bike, whatever, you know it can be a bitch to get rid of those pesky swirls and scratches. It would require some elbow grease, MORE than what you would use to simply wax/buff. As in the video, it would require a 2-3 step process to get rid of these tiny scratches that this process puts into the clear. You'd have to use a buffing or rubbing compound in stages, and the appropriate buffing wheels/texture in order to completely remove the ghost flames..... make sense? g Quote:

that's a cool idea, selective color sanding. If you decide you don't like it, just buff it out.
