Before I owned my car, someone did an AWFUL touch up job on the driver's side door. It is a thick, big blob with clearcoat painted on top all over the place. It annoys the hell out of me. I got Langka (www.langka.com) to refill it, but need to know how to sand it down. Lee, other experts, any suggestions? Thank you!

Daniel

SPOT SAND AREA WITH 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER. THE SANDPAPRE WILL REMOVE THE TOUCH UP. THAN COMPOUND AREA YOU MUST USE A BUFFING WHEEL TO REMOVE ALL SANDING LINES. AFTER COMPOUNDING WASH AREA USING A GOOD QUALITY CAR WASH SOAP. AFTER YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH YOU'RE RE-FINISHED AREA RE-TOUCH THE SCRATCH THAN WAX . WITH CAREFULL TIME AND PATIENCE YOU SHOULD BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE FINISHED AREA

Forgot to ask, did you try using a Clay bar (Clay Magic for instance)? It can perform miracles.
