Default wet sanding a car...

i'm considering on picking up an s2000 within the next few months. and if i can find one which has PERFECT CONDITION paint....i was thinking about getting it wet sanded right away. i COULD do it myself, but i would have to buy a lot of the materials. how much do you think it'd run to get it done professionally?

what are you talking about? Why would you want to wet sand a pretty new car? Just use a fine cutpolishing compound on a DA.

BTW, wetsanding only requires 4 materials. Sand paper, water, bucket, rag.

i know how its done, and when i said lots of materials i meant a, some expensive materials. good quality buffer being one of them, which i do not have.

why do i want to wet sand the car? to get rid of the stock "orange peep" finish. my friend had his rsx re-painted and wetsanded, and its really a night and day different between what was, and wasn't painted (bot because of the paint...but because of the wetsanding)

but anyways, going back to my first quesiton...how much do you think it would cost to get it done professionally?
