    Agreed, more aggressive than 500 grit can cause some pretty deep gouges. I usually start on 800 truthfully.

    It took me a year because I had absolutely no motivation to work on them at all after starting the first. When I actually did get around to finishing the job, it took me all of 8 hours to finish the other 3.
    I meant the other way around. 500 is usually the finest grit that I use. Occasionally 800 if I'm feeling fancy.

      More coarse less pussy meat.

            Those foam ball things are pieces of shit from what I've seen. Not "tough" enough to withstand harsh polishing.

            I use different cloth buffing wheels, Mother's mag polish, and hand glaze for final buff.

            Seriously?

            I go all the way down to 2000 grit and wetsand with a lot of my wheels. Anything courser than 800 grit leaves the scratches and gouges. Then again, all of the paintwork I do requires 1500 grit minimum.

              do you get your cloth wheels online or at a store? I'm gonna need to polish my wheels pretty soon...

                    Little of both. I got a bunch of them at a local hardware store when I saw them on sale, then I ordered a set from Amazon a little while ago with good success. I can't recall the brand, but they weren't anything special. Just throw them on a corded drill arbor, plug it in, and let it eat.
