It is rather amazing how ‘rough’ clear lays. While it look nice, there is room for improvement. It is just a matter of what one is willing to accept as a finished product. Been enjoying the fun of wet sanding the clear for around 30 hours so far. I have the body, trunk lid, hinge cover, and doors done. I start with 1000 grit and see how ‘rough’ it is afterwards. If it is rough, I go to 800 then back to 1000, go over that with 1500 and then finish with 2000. It is better to go to a courser grit than to press hard with a finer grit. 1500 will buff out, but with some effort. The 2000 allows for easier buffing. You can actually see the color increase in depth the finer you go. The doors have been buffed as well an they look very nice and deep. Tough to do on a metallic color.
Body and parts done up to 2000 grit.
