Needs to be #0000 steel wool and I do it all the time. And if you know a body and fender guy that doesn’t approve, then you got the wrong body and fender guy.
Even better, use it with car wax.
I hate rainx on my windows.
I thought it was common knowledge! I’ve been doing this since I was 10!
Kenneth Ray Stone I use 0000 steel wool several times a year!
I agree Robert Parker has to be #0000 steel wool.My brother-in-law has been doing autobody for 45 year’s. I worked for him for 6 year’s an that’s what he uses to c lean his window’s on car’s,an trucks.After you’re done,blow the car off with an air hose an your done.I’ve done it to everycar I’ve own,never once f-ed up the class.Use to use old newspaper’s an windex but,it doesn’t work as good as the steel wool #0000. My brother-in-law is one of the best body,and fender guy’s I’ve seen.
“Micro-Scratching” leads to “buffing” if the process is completed. That’s what sanding/buffing is. You just keep going to a finer grit to get the desired “smoothness”.
Example:
Sand paper scratches paint but u use it to buff it smooth.
This is what buffing compounds end up doing. They have all sorts of micro beads or minerals in them to achieve the desired smoothness as well.
Heck if u use a wire brush on a piece of metal it will scratch it but if you use a wire wheel u’ll end up with the shiniest piece of metal u’ve ever seen. Same concept.
My old guy buddy Kenny, tells me that in the old days, you would mix a gallon of water, a gallon of kerosene and a bunch of dish soap together, scrub with that mix and #0000 steel wool and that was how you fixed a old paint job. I have actually tried it, and it works awesome on a tractor. Not sure about doing it to a sweet paint job. Good luck, and remember to Experiment in small areas not easily seen.
0000 worlds great. Just be sure to use a liquid cleaner wth it.
Yeah ok , good luck with that .
Works great on chrome too. Been polishing with it since I was 14.

Probably works great on a tractor because it’s an enamel type paint (think ceramic) where as auto paint is more flexible so it would get hazy, plus I believe the kerosene would eat up regular auto paint.
Use 0000 steel wool and then rainex. Let first application dry then polish with more rainex till clear.
Also leaves residue which rusts on your car !
