I finally got all my body parts based , cleared and buffed. Clear is less than 6 months old and parts haven’t seen much sun. Got all my parts back on the car but have smudges everywhere from assembly. I searched the forum and saw that 2 products was recommended, Presta spray and shine 130922 and 3D bead it up 440. Are these the right products?
What to use on freshly buffed Universal clear to remove smudge marks after assembly.

Wow, looks incredible! I'm terrified of taking mine apart and getting it all back together painted. How was it getting the fenders and doors on without scratching stuff?

For fingerprints, I'd just use a detail spray like this:

I keep that and a microfiber handy on delivery days, really helps vehicles look their best.

Removes fingerprints and dirt and leaves an attractive shine on any non-porous, painted surface with this easy-to-use appearance enhancer.

Thanks Crash, so the products I mentioned are ok to use? JT had no issues reassembling the car, once everything was fitted and gapped I used a 1/8 drill bit to drill alignment holes on my fenders, trunk hinges, hood hinges and door hinges. The key to no damage is have a couple of extra sets of hands to help assemble and tape all edges to avoid making contact with paint.

You can use 710 as suggested, but in my shop that is more for something like cleaning prior to striping or decal application. If none of that is to be done, and the surface is done and ready for presentation, nothing is better than a detail spray imo.

Forum member Chevman did a nice write up here on how to index your hinges to help make reassembly easier and not have to try and line everything up after it's painted. You can find it by searching threads that he started. I have it bookmarked as well. I'll see if I can find it and link it here when I do.

Door Alignment Pins
I hesitate to post this, but I've noticed that there are a few OCD guys here that might be interested in this, and even one normal guy showed an interest in knowing how to get a door back on the older cars in the exact same spot that he adjusted it to, everytime he takes the door off. So I...

Smart man. I'm doing that exact same method on my drip rails to assure I can get my trim molding back on. I watched a guy fold his drip rail trim molding in half trying to get it on due to excessive paint build up. I felt bad for the guy but, I did warn him what could happen when he was prepping the car for paint.
