polishing clear paint.....how to..., i can' have this in the flare thread Options

[pete-stevers]

Ok i admit it i don't have the eye for applying clear(paint)...or else i just don't have the lighting, i would prefer to blame it on the lighting, because really why would i blame myself for all these fricken runs.
.....that is the intro to me blowing way way to much clear on my newly flared car,
mind you it looks great, but there are more than a few runs..er a lot but it is clear and i figure i have a polisher and mucho elbo grease.
so i would like to hear your ideas on how to polish clear, (and runs and drips in clear if you don't mind....)
and how long should i wait for it to cure in this cold weather....zero-ish
step by step

I could tear apart Slow914's description and say oh, you should NEVER do that and everyone always does THIS, but I won't because he really gave a great description full of good advice. The only thing that I will add is that I use a short piece of paint stick with 1200 wrapped around it to block out other painter's runs because I don't trust the grit on those silly blocks either.
You see, I never get runs but I've helped other painters fix their runs a lot of times. Not mine, oh no, just other guy's.
