So my car only has 22,000 miles on it. But there is a spot on the bottom of the door that seems a little faded. My leg rubs against it every time I get in and out of the car. Any recommendations on how to get the shine back?

 

Meguiars Ultimate Compound.

 

Do you think that would be too harsh?

 

This is on the outside of the car right? Because when you say your leg rubs it I think of the inside.

Are you talking about on your side skirt?

A picture would really help out in this case.

It depends on if it is scratched up of if it is faded. I don't want to put you onto the wrong product or way of repairing it.

 

Yeah its just the side skirt... i will see if i can get a pic for you in a little bit.

 

Actually that won't be too harsh. Do it.

 

FLEA TO THE RESCUE!!!

Its on the lower portion of the door/sideskirt

 

Yeah, use MUC

 

thanks!! I cant wait to see your car after the paint job gets finished!

 

I had to re-clear a couple panels the other day. If you want I'll post pictures.

 

yeah i would love to see it

 

Wet sanded down, then applied a full car plastic wrap over the whole car...except the area I had to clear.


3 hours later, removed the plastic wrap and lightly buffed the clear coated area.


While I was waiting for the clear coat to dry I painted aryan13's FG badgeless garnish. Took about 20 minutes to prep, primer, paint, and clear. Perfect finish...no need to wet sand or buff.

 

^^Look'n good! Can't wait until you get your headlights in.

 

^Not going through with the headlights anymore. When I get them...I'm planning on selling them. But knowing people here on SL, my top price will be $25.

 

Why not? you're gonna sell it here on SL? goodluck with that, mind as well throw them on ebay or something.

sorry for kinda thread jacking!

 

No. I might go back to Anzo's I liked those better. Sure some sets have problems, but at least I can fix them.

 

$700 retrofit < Anzos?!

Although the price of the anzos is better for you wallet. But still, retrofts are so sexy.

 

kennon i used the 3m rubbing compound and it came out perfect! Im gonna probably buff more of the car tomorrow and let you know how it turns out. And your car is looking great! What grit paper did you use to wet sand?

 

wow did you recleared almost the whole side of the car?
are you using rattle can for clearcoat?

 

nice work on the fix, but side not - how does your leg rub against the lower part of the door when u get in and out of the car? just saying...the door is open when u get in and out, haha. i'm actually confused.
