Welcome Jason. Way to lay the smack down

Current status is it's done, just awaiting polishing. My dog ate my cheap ($12) 6" buffer on Monday, so I'll need to get another.

I am considering skipping wetsanding and going right to polish, unless I find a hair or something that sticks out, then I'll wetsand that area. I have very little orange peel so the wetsanding wouldn't help make the surface much flatter, but it would take out specks and hairs. I'll try a fender straight to polish and see how that goes.

I did manage to get a good shine out of the safety red on the one spot where I wetsanded with 2000, then the next day hit with the polisher. Then I painted the car white.

I'll try to polish at least part of it this weekend and will post pics.
