Ok guys, can anyone give me a breakdown on steps with color sanding? Like, what grit sandpapers ? Which pads do I use in what order? Best polish to use? I tried it once before and didn't get great results, so, I'm sure I was not doing it correctly, because everyone swears by it. Thanks!

I have only hand sanded...
Start with 1200 wet and dry, and dont use cheap paper.
1 sheet per panel...
Sand and watch the small hollows in the paint texture, when u start to 'scratch the bottom of these hollows go to 1400 or 1600 to finish.
Give a light machine cut with a meduim grade compound.
Then Machine cut with a fine 'finishing' grade compound.....this is a bit of an art so not to greated swurls.
Then polish ...
Leave al edges till last at each stage..it is very easy ro cutt thru the clear/colour in these areas.

I'm going to do the same to mine. I ordered the System One. Look it up on u-toob.
I have a friend of mine going to show me how on a panel.
