Finally got some time to do the proper cutting and buffing on my personal car this past few weeks. The car was painted last fall I did an initial wet sand by hand with 1200 followed by a woolpad so now that the paint had time to cure fully it was time go over it again to get it flat!
up bright and early on a foggy morning

spent about $50 on painters tape to make clean up as hassle free as possible.

the 3m 1/4 in tape works great for taping over bodylines
