depending on how abrasize of a compound/pad you used to begin with, you might be looking at 2-3 more steps before any wax. For example... medium cut, fine cut, glaze/swirl remover. When making big jumps in compound grit you will always leave behind the deepest scratches from the more abrasive compound you started with. Most compounds will list a grit they were designed to remove. 3M super duty= 1000 grit wet sanding scratches, finesse it= 1200 grit scratches, then do a glazing compound (maybe not nessecary on certain colors, but makes a big diff on black). Of course use a less abrasive pad as you get closer to your final application.
