    drive sideways down the road?


    me being an idiot, I looked at my fenders and decided to wetsand them. Why you may ask?

    A few years ago, I got 4WD fenders for my truck. I spray painted them and cleared them with cheap clear. I didn't know and care too much about detailing and stuff back then.
    It caught up to me. the fenders were obnoxiously dull and fugly.
    today, I wetsanded some and then realized i went too tough in the top section. It didn't go down to the black, but it did start showing. I laid down a few layers of red on top of it. not all of it. Once dried, I Meguiar's Ultimate Compound'd the fender, and it's soooooooooo much better now. That stuff has saved my ass soooooo many times. I concentrated ALOT in two particular sections. looking down the paint, That UC kicks orange peel's ass and made the paint reflection like glass! it was soooo smooth! sooner or later, i'll respray the fenders and bumpers again. this time I'll Ultimate compound it after, not clear it. the clear just hazed and stuff. The truck looks better now, with shiny fenders to match it.
    I also UC'd the roll pan, it's not pink anymore! truck is now all red :)

    Why would you do something like that? Keep the truck and buy a Honda Civic too.
