I put about 50 hours into wet-sanding and buffing the car prior to Car Craft last weekend. I started on the prior Saturday, and realized quickly that I was going to be short on time. In only got through the 2nd stage of buffing (swirl-mark remover). I intend on going back over the whole car with the extra cut compound since the hood was the last thing I did, and I perfected my method and realized the rest wasn't good enough. All in due time, it's time to enjoy the car, but at least now the orange peel and fisheyes are gone.
I used all 3M compounds and pads with a Makita buffer. I'll get some pro pics up of the final product when I get a chance.
