    Re: 1989 Mustang Pink to Red (yes, another Mustang!)

    *** UPDATE ***

    Well, I finished buffing out with D151 and the gloss was great, but the hood was still full of etching, deeper scratches, and some other defects. Soooo - I decided it was time to do a little wetsanding

    I did a small test spot using unigrit 1500 and 2000 and it came out great! I'll post some pics tomorrow as I wetsand the hood and then cut it with M105 to a nice shine. I think I'll try 83 followed by 80 instead of 151 on the hood and see if I can get just a little more gloss and shine out of it.

          I hope you meant of the new 151, not of the other

          Good job on that Stang

            Probably both!
            The only reason some people get lost in thought... is because it is unfamiliar territory for them.

                  I should have some "real" afters on Wednesday evening, after I finish wetsanding and polishing the hood.

                            Sorry it's taken awhile, but I finally got pics of the finished hood after wetsanding. Remember what we started with:



                            And this is after about 20 hrs of wetsanding and polishing:
