Like I said on another very similar post...
I use 3M's Perfect It II line. The compound is a little more agressive, but it "breaks-down" almost becoming it's own polish. Then follow with the foam pad glaze. Sanding finer than the grit of your compound does no good at all. The problem is that many companys will not directly tell you how coarse of a sanding scratch the product will remove. 3M's Perfect It says right on the label that it will remove 1200 grit marks....no need for more sanding than that. Saves time and money, looks great.
