Defcon5 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 If you have touch of a rapist yes, be gentle and take your time with the right grade, no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamGill Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 yeah start with around 1500 and work your way down to a finer grade..then use an abrasive polish somthing like Meguiars ultimate compound, or if you can get your hands on a machine polisher that would be better idealy a rotary.

Defcon5 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 You could, but it will take you 13 years to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fob163 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 oh i thought t cut was fairly rough! okay il give it a little wet sanding then a bit oft cutting and finally polish it off, and hopefully it'll come out okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
