Back to 400... spend a lot of time on 400- its the last grit that actually "removes" the scratches. After you do 400, buff with the polish. It should look dull and show any scratches you miss. If you buff and see scratches, sand them with 400 and test buff again. Once it is flawless (or as close to flawless as you're willing to settle for), go to 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 1500 wet, and buff again. Should be nice and shiney by then. Good luck
(I had bad feeling about that...)
Thanks alot MetalliCamaroRS, now that you mention the other grades of sandpaper I truly realize how much I cut corners...
Thanks again for your help, I going back to 400 tonight...
Take care

Yeah, definitely do not cut corners on 400. Good luck, post pics when you're done!
