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.
This is what I used on my bc/cc and with 1200 grit wet/dry........and I had some heavy orange peel in areas. When finished, There were no scratches to be seen. This stuff works. But with any compound, be careful with the buffer.......
