Well im from south jersey so you tell me.. And dont worry bout it anyway. No big deal. Thats why I posted. Figured it help.

So its like brand new again? Any kind of haze? (usually get a lil bit of that without using a buffer) But saves you money on buying one if you can deal wit it. If it is still a little hazy. Just rub some more glaze on it a few more times.. then some more wax.. But glad to help bro.. Anymore ?'s just ask..

Even rubbing/polishing compounds can destroy the clearcoat. I don't recommend just buying one off the shelf and using it.

If it was done properly, its totally fixable. I used to work in a body shop. Typicall this sanding is done with a wet surface and then using a high powered wheel, compound is applied in stages. As long as the clear coat wasen't penetrated, meaning you didn't touch the paint itself, all you need to do is have a body shop compound the area, maybe even wetsand it if the area was done poorly.

you're only going to get the gloss back by having that area re-clearcoated by a body shop.. take it to a good bodyshop and let them fix it for you.. wet sanding should really be left to the pro's.. because they know how to do it.. sorry that happened, i know what that's like.. thinking you can do it yourself, but in this case, you learned a pro is a better idea.. don't do it anymore or you'll go down to your primer..
