Ok, so lets get started turning pretty paint into perfect paint!

First here are the materials I use when polishing.

Picture 1. First of all, 1500 grit sanding disks. I really cannot express how important it is to use a GOOD high quality paper for these stages. Cheaper brands do not have consistent Grit in them and can leave deep scratches that you will have a very hard time getting rid of. The 3M disks are phenominal, they aren't cheap, but they will last a fairly long time, much longer than just a wet/dry sandpaper will.

Picture 2. This is part one of the magic process, 3M trizact 3000 grit disks. These are painfully expensive but they are phenominal, they leave a perfect uniform sanded surface and will remove the 1500 grit scratches with ease. These disks are around $100 for a pack of 15, but they are worth the money for all the time you will save in the end. (sorry about the blurry picture)

Picture 3. 3M's extra cut polishing compound. Again, it's not cheap, but the results are definitely worth it, when it comes to these products you do get what you pay for.

Picture 4. 3M's swirl remover for use after the extra cut compound.

Next I will detail the polishing process.
