Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper
about 2" x 2" for all sanding and use lots of water. The water serves
as both a lubricant and to prevent residue buildup on the paper.
Residue buildup shortens the eective life of the paper and may
scratch the surface you’re trying to polish.
2000 grit paper is the finest grit available - the higher the
number, the finer the grit. If you can’t remove all of the scratches
with 2000 grit, switch to 1500 grit. Remember to wash the paper
frequently with water as you sand.
If all of the scratches can’t be removed with 1500 grit, switch to
1000 grit. This should remove most fine scratches. If you have deep
scratches or a gouge, course paper may actually put more scratch-
es than it removes.
Once you have removed all of the scratches by sanding with
the finest paper possible, repeat the sanding process using succes-
sively finer grits of paper until you’ve once again sanded with 2000
grit.
Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth.
Polish using consider
able pressure to produce a smooth, shiny
finish.
