You'd be best off starting with either some 1500 or 2000 followed by 4000 grade wet sanding paper

Hi, I always found zymol HD cleanse to be the best product for cleaning the paintwork back to it's natural state but always used it after claying. Quite expensive but smells like chocolate so keeps the missus happy!!

No problem Rich - with the wet sanding just go gently and you should be fine!  One tip to keep in mind - don't sand all in one direction... sand in different directions and even in very small gentle circles (don't apply too much pressure!) as this will make it much easier to polish up at the end.  If you do it all in the same direction you may end up still seeing the sanding marks once you've finished polishing it back.

No worries with the order - glad you got it all in time.  Hopefully you had some descent weather over the weekend to get out and try all the products out?

Hope this helps

Taryn and Jim  :happy2:

Cheers Taryn Jim, I chickened out of this on the weekend, so will be something I will try out in a couple of months, might also see if I can find a donor car to have a bit of a practise on first  :wink:

Weather was surprisingly good at the weekend, and spent 6 hours on Saturday giving the car some much needed attention! and although I managed to create some marring from my clay bar, I almost all of it out with some polish, that combined with the black hole gave a really good finish and helped the fleck to be more evident so all in all very pleased.

Only got dodgy phone pictures but here you go....
