Help with UV Clear Solvent Pop

Only hope is give car 5 to 7 full days of sunlight before you wet sand or buff.
And buy a desiccant dryer for compressor.

Barry,
Thanks for the info. It will probably be at least another week before I can get it into the sun. I assume the longer I wait to try and correct this the better, correct? As for a dryer, is this what you mean:

As or more important than filters and desiccant dryers is proper pipe routing. You need to have at least 50 feet between the compressor and the first filter. Minimum 3/4". Your drops are also important. Google "air piping latout" to see some examples.
 
I am putting on an inter cooler on my compressor and will add desiccant dryer. For sanding it down, can you dry sand with p600 instead of wet sanding before I lay down another coat of clear?

An aftercooler mounted and plumbed between the pump and tank is a real good step, just make sure you have good air flow while the compressor is running to cool the air. The filter you are looking at seems kinda small but maybe someone can verify. Personally I would go with a refrigerated air dryer after the compressor to insure you bring the dew point of the air down. There are some on here that have real good results with the one from Harbor Freight, for $300 the ones that have it Love it. I have a Hankinson SPX HIT that has a built in after cooler and is the best investment added to my system.
Just food for thought
