Just a quick update on the progress of cut and buff (or in my case, wet sand and buff) the clear. I've got my process down pretty good at this point.
1) Sand 4 times with 1000 grit
2) Sand 2 times with 2000 grit
3) Sand 2 times with 3000 grit
4) Buff 4 times using heavy cut and denim pad
Just need to finish up the driver's door, driver side fender, hood, and front of the car and I'm done! Basically about 3/4 of the way done, and pleased with the results for my first time painting a vehicle, and first time wet sanding and buffing out a vehicle. Results below, and hope to post in a couple of weeks that I've moved on to finish up reassembly.
