Auto-Glym is a very fine polishing compound made to be used with a
polishing machine ! Check
Auto Glym web site for more info.
The paste you hear about is old style toothpaste (not gel or whitening type) and use a soft cloth like a diaper or sweat shirt,keep it damp
and change cloth position alot, cleaner and removed paint clog up the
cloth.
Don't say "scrape" and paint in the same sentence.
Painting is a job that requires a lot of practice !
Spray thin coats of paint,it's not"necessary" to sand the paint after 2 coats if it's to your liking leave it. Get the feeling of painting first, the
perfection will come in time.
Sandpaper needs to be the finest grits you can get,600 grit "wet or dry"
should be the coarsest sandpaper you use on a model,the higher the numbers the finer the grit,they go to 32000 grit.
I hope this helped!
