These ripples are killing me!!!

Roll and tip method may be going out the door. I simply cannot get rid of the ripples until I've sanded to my original paint. I guess I've just got to muster up enough patience to let the thousands of bubbles pop on their own. How do I overcome the fear that they won't pop? Thin, thin, thin, right?

I'm having trouble capturing the ripples with my camera, but here's an example of where I'm at after a round of 2000 and turtle polish (by hand for now):



I'm going to knock the ripples down some with 600, then try 2 more super-thin coats this morning. We'll see what happens.
