it's amazing how much time doing it right takes !

Yup, to top it off I just had clear coat failure...

Keep in mind I'm not using machine for wetsanding. I've only used 3000 grit (By hand, light pressure) on this spot and it went right though! I'm honestly nervous about taking a polisher to the remaining parts. I just used some touch up paint, leveled it and Re-cleared the spot. I now have about 2 hours of blending ahead!
