Thanks for the info. Do I squeegie it with the rubber pads like you do with the basecoat to check your progress? Also what do you recommend to buff with after the sanding, I have a variable speed buffer. Thanks ahead of time.
OK time for an update. I decided to color sand about half the car (hood, trunk deck and some assorted pieces) using 1000 grit wet. I didn't take out all of the orange peel, maybe about 2/3, I didn't want to keep going through the color since it was kinda thin. I made some adjustments in my...
