What to do when your car ganna sandblasted

[Lester]

Besides gettting sandblasted, I got an overspray from the ships when painting was going on. So those on the glass panels couldn't be removed.

Hi Astralee,

 

My reservist camp mate also kenna "sandblasted" while on reservist at Tg Gul Camp. He sent it to professional polishing service to remove it. Cost him $1,000+++ I think.

 

Sorry to hear you kenna on your ride man. I know the desperate feeling.

 

Cheers

orh I see...then I think bo bian...got to get the professional to rub off a layer of your paint liao lor...but if you got a buffing machine then can try removing it on your own lor...since it more powerful using equipment as compare to hand lor...

[Lester]

Wrong! Using a Orbital buffer will actually cause more damage if not used properly. In this case, it is advisable to do it by hand.

Problem was that we were out for 3 days exercise & when got back, the whole car look like someone resprayed his vehicle . Even the glass was nearly totally a write off. Somemore it was rainy season. Ah well, he complained & wanted to ask MINDEF to pay !

I also reservist at Tuas Naval Base and got a dump of sand blasting on my old ride.

 

I used a new sharp penkife blade to scrap the black stuff off the glass. Then I used a phone card to scarp off the stuff off the paint job section by section. After that, polish and wax the whole car. It was a long process about 5 days worth of work in total. Not totally removed but better. Hope that helps.
