binliner 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 forgive me if these are stupid questions but did you make sure you removed all the scratches left by the last grade before moving on to the next? It helps if you keep all the strokes in the same direction and then with the next grade go in the opposite direction (across) as it's easier to see where you've been Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 yeh i did that it was bloody hard to get the origonal roughness out and i do go opposite ways with diff grades Link to post Share on other sites

Eat this 2 Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 whats in the polishing kit? Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 mop, abrasive compounds & polishing compounds... Same principal as we n dry, the compounds are different grades which you work your way through just using a drill instead of arm power! Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I still used wet and dry paper but the final finish was much easer to achieve[ Edited Sun Nov 28 2004, 10:07PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
