take 600 wet sand paper, use wet only and keep paper clean. Than go over again with 800. Use a buffer with a polishing wheel and use a Mcguires polishing compound. Buff once or twice, follow up with mcguries # 6 wax cleaner. change buffer to a foam pad. using # 6 again than follow up with a sealant. Mirror finish, like new if done proper..

I'd use 1550/2000 wet sand. its like color sanding your car.

I agree w/Pillip AND Adam. You have to be careful color sanding.

with 1500/2000 it would take alot and I mean alot of elbow work to do any damage. Now with anything less than 1500 you do need to be careful esp with 600.
