Ah yes, the dreaded wet sanding time!!! I'm at the same point on the Cutlass now, it's always fun and you certainly don't have to worry about what to do with your spare time!!!! Been over most of the car now with 2500 and did some buffing on parts of the car. Lots of work, but well worth the effort!!!!!

Dave i am no buffer that is scary to me . Been looking at youtube vids and trying to pick up what i can in technique and the materials to use . I am used to the old heavy duty compounds from the 80s .

I've still use an old two handed buffer with 9" pads. I go back and forth from my "old fashioned" wool pads to them "new fangled" foam pads!!!!! On the Cutlass, I started with a med wool pad and 3M regular cut Perfect It II rubbing compound. Did the car once with this, then scrubbed it thoroughly with hot water and soap, then buffed it one more time with a black foam pad and the same compound using very light pressure.

got some 1200 time in getting closer Dave you are using 2500 wow must feel like it glides over with out cutting .
