hello

hi im new here and was hoping for some advice. well here goes i sprayed my whole car with cellulose primer and paint then used g3 compound but now i want to put a clear coat on as its not a satisfying gloss i was after. so can i spray straight over compound or do i have to strip waxes and compound off with something? what would you recommend? products and steps please. i have also notice without having a clear coat the paint is more vulnerable to etching ie.. water marks type 2 and bird droppings leaving stains even after washing. so i need to protect the paint work. thanks in advance and hope i enjoy this forum

deffo remove the waxes etc , id give it a gentle sand or grey scotch pad

thing is , if you cant get a decent gloss now what makes you think you will with the clear ? celly clear isnt the best anyway

As Steveo says, cellulose lacquer is really pretty naff and tends to "yellow" over time. You'd probably better trying to sort the cellulose paint that you have on there already, assuming it is a solid colour.
When you say the gloss isn't satisfying, what do you mean exactly? Does it have orange peel? Is it patchy? Is it just not very shiny?

if its a solid colour. put a couple of more coats on it.
leave it to thru dry,i.e amonth.then wet flat and polish it with g3
