Hes on qew here..... But i have seen real good real results with making sure you alwaya try to keep moving in the same direction with your paper, after sanding for awhile stop and hit it with mothers and see what it looks like before you sand for weeks and get the same outcome, just my two cents |

| What he said just dont apply to much pressure other wise you will be sanding scratches out for a while I allso have some of the green and gray pads for sanding I will hit it with the green than the gray after the 800 than I do 1000,1500,wet 2000 and go over it several times with mothers but I do have to warn you it is addicting |
