Thanks men! A few guys asked me what I'm using for polish and my process. So, since I'm famous for instructional and edjumacational threads, let me explain what all went down here.

Wetsanding goes in stages depending on the amount of peel in the paint. If it's heavy, I start will 1000 or 1500. If it looks like a 3rd grader sprayed it [me], then I may hit a small section with 800 depending on how bad it may be. I was lucky with the Stangatang. I actually started with 2000 and in some spots, 2500 since the clear.... for some unknown foreign reason to me.... laid down flat! I think there was a high pressure system overhead while I was painting. More atmospheric pressure means more weight on the clear creating a flatter finish!

Anyway, this is the door finished to a final 3000 grit. Nice even sheen. If you see little dots, that's clear that you haven't cut (peel) and more sanding is required. This is the first step... long and dirty... but the results are worth it.

Cheers
Dave
