paint after compound

[kuki]

good day,

i have noticed that when paint is sprayed on a car it looks very vibrant. it shines brilliantly though it make poor image due to orange peel. when we apply 3000 grit paper its shine totally disappears.now we apply compound polish to regain its shine but according to my experience the original wet like paint look never appears thoug one can see himself clear in image after compound. but wet like shine in color is lost after compound polish process.
one guy suggest some tips but it is not applicable with hand rubbing as u cant cut clear just with wax.

i wonder can anyone suggest some useful tips
regards

Hello,
Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you are not buffing the surface enough. If you don't do this, it will not bring back the shine.

What I would suggest is going over the surface with 1500 grit (if the orange peel is minimum), then buff all these scratches out with 3M 6085. You need to keep buffing until the shine comes back.
just DO NOT stay in the same area for too long as this will burn the paint (watch those edges to!)
This will probably take a full day for someone that doesn't have too much experience. So take your time, be sure and wetsand until all the shine disappears. Then buff until you bring it all back.
Good luck!

dear friend i have already did so but still i have on the opinion that compound polish enhance the reflection so you can see through it like mirror but i am concern with the color brightness. i put it in another term you can say that buffing kill 100% brightness of color and compound polishing regain only80 % of original brightness.if you compound polish one door and compare it to the door which is untouched after paint you will notice that compound polished door is a little bit blur.
may be its my perception. furthermore when polish fades away blurriness heightens.
thanks anyway.
