First clean it off. Then I wetsanded with 2000. You can then go to 2500 and then 3000 but I wanted to do this same-day and 2000 is all I could get.

Then I used meguiars m105 (high cut compound) with a high cut pad to get rid of sanding marks.

Then followed it up with meguiars m205 (light cut polish) with a low cut pad to get rid of the high cut marks.

3 coats of klasse paint sealant and 1 coat of wax because I'm anal.

Wash, clay, (some like to wash again after clay), compound if needed, polish. sealant/wax.

Doing this all by hand unfortanutely will not net you great results as far as swirl marks.

What it will do is make your still feel incredibly smooth.

Hope this helps.
