I've just done my mrk 4 in Black (041)
I used a rotary with this combination:

Mez compound pad with Megs #83 then Mez polishing pad with Megs #80. AG SRP by hand and a coat of Megs Mirror Glaze #16.

The paint is really hard and I might by trying out the Mez IP and then the Mez FF on the same pads.

Its not quuite there it needs another go, but I think I am getting a bit anal with this polishing lark

Before (OSR quarter side on door:



After



I am now attacking the deeper scratches with touch up paint, will be posting results up as I finish.

rotary sander first time... sh1t you're brave... did you practice first? good results for first time. 

btw - nice marigolds Niro!   

[Dan J]

2nd'd on the marigolds

as guy said your brave,

i would be very carefull as non met paint doesnt have a clearcoate, if you use heavy compound and press to hard you will strip the paint off and then cry and be mentally scared for life
when its done get some good wax on it to protect it from the elements.

it looks good dude just be carefull

[Guy]

when you're finished with the polishing work your way around the exterior with a detail brush and get the polish residue out of all the crooks and nannies, door handle, rubber trim etc
