Wet / Dry Sand, Rub-Out & Buff 

SPECIAL NOTATION:

Refinished panels may or may not require a varying amount of wet sanding, compound rub-out, or buffing operations in order to match original finish texture. The clear coat contains ultraviolet screeners and reducing the clear coat thickness (mils) may result in early paint failure. Follow manufacturer's recommendations when performing this type of repairs. Calculations should be based upon the outer surface only and should not include additions for clear coat, underside, inside or edges. Base refinish time does not include deduction for refinish overlap. In the event that this type of operation will be performed, MOTOR suggests the following formula be considered:
