So, I am almost finished with my 62 Galaxie 500. I am down to the last or next to last coat. I know the conventional wisdom has been to wet sand the last coat with 1500 or 2000 grit paper and then buff and polish. I wonder if it makes sense to sand that last coat? I have such a nice gloss before wet sanding that it seems to me I should just let it cure and then polish?

Am I missing something?



After I sanded, I put two final coats on the vette and went to the polish (Nu Finish) by hand. Looks great, but it's a driver. Not perfect at 1 foot, but from 6 it is... People have had a hard time getting the gloss back once they start sanding things. If you are a pro at polishing, go for it. If you are a back yard $26 painter like me, I'd be careful what you start....
