Title: What grade wet and dry?
Post by: Big Tone on 15 April 2011, 16:35

Am I right in saying 4000 grade LIGHTLY over the area touched up?
This is then to be rotary polished with
Megs 84 then 80.

where can I get this?
I can get 1200 grade easy but feel its abit coarse

I was use 1200 to cut down then 1500 then 2000 before compound.

I would say 1200 is a bit coarse but thats just me. Start high and work down if its no good, and then work back up. At the end of the day, you dont wanna completely f**k it up! Trust your instinct, if you think your going too deep and it wont polish out with coarser paper, you probably are!  :wink: :smiley:

1200 will be fine just to cut down the initial bulk but I wouldn't use 1200 for normal scratches etc and I wouldn't want to polish anything more coarse then 1800-2000 scratches  :smiley:
