Quick Enduro Question

[rjwolfe3]

Hey all,

Can you wet sand the final coat of Enduro with micro mesh or does it have to be dry sanded? I tried it once and seemed to get a real dull shine but I'm not sure if that is the Enduro since this is my first time using it. Is it supposed to be real shiny? I followed the directions except I waited 24 hours instead of 4-6 hours. My wife dry sanded with micro mesh on her pen and then buffed it and the shine just seems real dull. Thanks for any advice.

I don't generally buff with White Diamond when I use Enduro. Here is a link with the advise of Wayne (our resident Enduro guru). He does not address your wet sanding question but he does address buffing.

I dry sand Enduro Top Coat, it does shine a lot but not as much as a CA finish.

Waiting longer than the recommended times is actually better for the best finish shine.[8D]

Rob,

I have switched to Unoxal which is similar to Enduro but sets more quickly.

After MicroMesh to 12,000, I finish with plastic polish with a light touch. I get shiny finishes with this method.

Thanks for the replies - Can Unoxal be wet sanded? I only ask this because I seem to get my best sanding with wet sanding with micromesh. Can't seem to get the lines out when dry sanding on any type of finish. Very frustrating for me as I like a deep shine with no imperfections.

Sorry, Rob, but I am too lazy to clean up the mess from wet sanding so I don't do it.

I've always dry sanded enduro. And I get a pretty good shine. Maybe you haven't let it cure long enough. If I have problems. I let it cure another day and then hit it with the buffer.

Is that you don't wet sand or you don't clean up ?
