FINESSE SANDING, BUFFING, AND POLISHING
CAUTION: Do not remove more than 0.5 mils of clearcoat finish when sanding, hand buffing or polishing.
Basecoat paint must retain clearcoat for durability.
CAUTION: If the finish has been finesse sanded in the past, it cannot be repeated. Failure to follow this
caution can result in damage to vehicle finish.
NOTE: Finesse sanding should only be performed by a trained automotive paint technician.
Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in a clearcoat or single-stage finish can be reduced with light finesse
sanding, hand buffing and polishing. Use a Paint Thickness Gauge #PR-ETG-2X or equivalent to determine
clearcoat or single-stage paint thickness before and after the repair.
