polishing cloths

Hey boys,
just a quick question on using polishing cloths, should i use them before or after clear coat, i've used them once after paint, came up a treat but then sprayed clear and went all cloudy and dull, what did i do wrong ?
cheers

Not a fan of polishing color cote before clearing it, a light wet sand usually is enough,  (2000 grit)
but never sand metallic paint without clear cote first.

I usually wet sand the first clear cote, then give it a good wet clear cote, this allows plenty of
clear to buff and polish, with out rubbing through anywhere.

*THIS IS WHEN THE POLISH PADS AND POLISH CLOTHS DO THEIR BEST WORK*


As for the cloudy problem you experienced, i don't know what caused that, cold or humidity maybe?

( This is just how I do it, and not necessarily how it should be done, and just for the record,
i EXCLUSIVELY only use automotive acrylics, how this system works with other paint, i just don't know)

Hey Dale, yeah cheers for the advice mate,
was,nt sure if i should use before or after,
i,ll try again after clear and c how i go , yeah
not sure if the temp was wrong re milky paint
just thought that polishing without clear and then
clearing over top might have bn an issue, yes all
duplicolour primer, paint and clear,
thanks bro, Wayne
