I've spent the better part of this morning wet sanding a gaggle of hoods, roofs and sleeper boxes that I painted last week. With the paint good and cured, I was able to use my Micromark polishing kit.

Starting with 2400 grit, then 3200, 4000, 6000, 8000 and then 12000, then rub out with rubbing compound, then swirl mark remover, than Mother's Carnuba Wax.

The results are quite impressive!

If you've been hesitant to try wet sanding and polishing, go for it!
You will like the results. Evan Hermel turned me on to this. There is no going back now!

Thanks!

Originally my dog was in the reflection, but she walked out of view by the time I snapped the photo.

I've been polishing out my paint for some time now. What I like about it is that one can take a paint job that has been botched by a piece of dog hair, wet sand and polish it out to pefection.
