Awesome write up.
One Question: I heard you can also wet the cloth/compound to produce a shinier finish... is that true ? Thanks

I just tried to polish my Opel Astra and it didn't turn out that great.
The method I used was a series of sand papers. 3200, then 3600, then 12000. Then I polished three times with tamiya compound. Look at the swirls I got. I am going to end up re-spraying. look what i did to the bump near the rear. I think I will just use the compund instead of the sanding cloths. It looked a lot better before I started.

could be that you need to wait for the paint to dry even more. Or that you did not have enough coats to cover the body clear. I use my turtle wax compund and it turn out perfectly i will show some pic tomorrow. Look for Tamiya R32 completed. And another tip that I find works great is to get the scratch remover that you see on tv info mercial. i bought some and it really makes the car shine and get all the super fine scratches that the compound may leave.
