I've been sanding fo a few hours a day, for the last 2 weeks. Started with 320 dry. Followed by a guide coat and 400 wet. After that another guide coat and 600 wet. Then 1000 wet i didnt use a guidecoat because decent rubbing compound should take out 600 scratches. I used Finese it 2 for a compound and followed with a Carnuba wax from meguires.

The Boat is actually more white than beige now which makes me happy. It has an amazing shine to it.All in all im very happy with thr turnout.

When I wetsanded the Enforcer it took me all day, so I can only imagine how long it took you working a couple hours a day. Very nice work,:thumb:
