Wet sanding process?
 

Well a beam in my garage broke and the s**t on top of the beam
landed on the hood of my car so since its ruined anyway I decided to experiment with wet sanding. Well I used 2000 grit paper kept it very wet but when I was done it looked horrible so I brought out the buffer and some 3m swirl mark remover and buffed the h**l out of it and looks almost 80% as good as it did. So am I doing something wrong? Should I use roubing compound instead? I dont plan on wet sanding the whole car since there is only 25000 miles on it but I have a buddy that bought a black truck that could use a little tlc, plus if I ever want to do this again in the future.

Thanks

Yeah, you need something more abrasive than swirl remover.

if your using a rotory id go with
1500rpm polishing pad and meguiars diamond cut compound
then 1200 dual actioncleaner polish
1000 swirl free polish
hand polish by hand then something like
nxt or polymer sealant

but the more abrasive stuff will remove more moderate scratches since the heat from the buffer will cause the product to break down faster and level out the clear...

where would I be able to get some buffer pads, is there a good website to get supllies from?
