Those two shots were both taken of the hood of my car. I did a dodgy wetsand using 1500 and then hit it with the different swirl removers to see which would be the best method.

Although I was really impressed with the SSR2.5, there are still some small scratches in the paint where I didn't sand the hood properly.

The final wet sanding is a lot more important than the polishing. I'm practising with my 'race' bootlid (with a wing on it) and even though an abrasive cutting compound like Poorboy's SSR3.0 will easily remove sanding marks from 1200 grit paper, it is the little scratches caused by the bits of dust etc in the paint that cause the real headaches.

It is just so important to do a second wet sand with 2000 grit paper to remove these little scratches so that the finished panel can look like a bc/cc job.
