    Posted: August-27-2015 at 11:25am
I took a first past last weekend at wet sanding / buffing etc... The end result was good, but not where I want it. As this was the first time I was conservative and only used 2000 grit paper.

This round I am going with the incremental approach starting out more coarse as suggested in the FAQ.

Questions -

1. How much pressure is applied? Is it a light rub or do you give it some elbow grease?
2. Do you only sand in straight lines or do you alternate with circles.

Thanks in advance..

Steady, light to moderate pressure, use a block at 600grit and coarser. Straight lines.

You can always remove more, not less...

Alternating directions will help to know when you've cleaned up the scratches from the previous round.

Agreed but a caveat to this is be careful. If you feel high spots, which you will, sand around those by hand or you'll soon be through the gel if you persist with the block. At least in my experience.
When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.
