[QUOTE="FISHTAIL, post: 13264485, member: 19212"] Alright, I caved. I picked up a sanding block and some 2000 and 3000 grit paper. Gonna try a few of the really nasty spots on the hood tonight. Any suggestions for how to do this without screwing the pooch? I was gonna let the paper soak in some soapy water until it was good and saturated, then keep the area wet and soapy while I work it. Wiping it off frequently to keep it clean. Any other suggestions, aside from staying away from the edges? Anything to watch out for? Advice on how much, or how little pressure to use? What I'm going to be doing is trying to see if I can smooth out the edges on the pitting to make it hard to see. The etched areas of the clear coat are all still cleared, so I suppose if I really knew what I was doing I could sand until it's all even, but I"m worried the paper will eat through the bottom of the "crater" before the top evens out with it. Even attached to a block. The plan is to start with 3000, and see if that makes it presentable, then move onto 2000 if it doesn't. Going very easy. Then follow it up with an orange pad/SSR3 to see if it takes the pitting out. Sound like a good plan? [/QUOTE]
