Block Sanding Clearcoat

[buzzer]

I am planning on blocksanding the clearcoat paint with 2000 grit sandpaper on my 2002 black PT shortly after I get it.
This removes the "orangepeel" and then you use rubbing compound -- then polishing compound and lastly a wax. Now the paint is completely flat and like glass.
Has anyone done this ? I hope there's enough clear coat to allow this procedure.
Thanks

And when you're finished you are going to park it in a vacuum sealed case , right! Might be a good idea for a show car, but if you are going to drive it (that's what a PT is for) then I would say you are going a litle extreme. save yourself a lot of time, frustration and possible damage, Make sure it's clean and give it the full Zaino treatment. I think you will be impressed.

Start with a claybar and work your way up to actual sanding. You would be amazed at what it will take off. And I have found that the clear coat will scratch pretty easy, so be patient and gentle.

A Titanium paint treatment is sort of like this. They use mirco titanium particles in a creme and orbital it on the paint and use a sealer. My paint is like blue glass. It does not take any longer than a rub out and is 10 times better. "The Blue Wizard", which I will unveil soon has it.

I would be concerned that the clear coat is not thick enough. With all the paint problems that people have reported on the PT I would be very careful. Also if you do sand it and then have a paint problem later it MAY cause you problems with the warranty. The suggestions above would be my first approach.

I think you are getting ready to ruin a perfectly good paint job. Contact Chrysler and ask if you can purchase the car in primer and then pay a body shop to custom paint it for you. If you wet sand the finish it is going to look like a spoted puppy, count on it. Colt

I have seen where some people I know have wet sanded their vehicles and it looked fantastic

But the cars they did it on was numerous coats thick, and they wet sanded after each coat of paint. It was a lot of work, but well worth it

Considering just how thin Chrysler paint is (obvious from all the posting of paint problems). I wouldn't even consider wet sanding the vehicle

If you want to do something like this, I would plan on putting on more coats of clear (multiple coats) you could end up with a fantastic paint job
A lot of work and expense for a car that you might drive on the street... :/
