polishing steps
It isn't necessary to add clearcoat if you polish the paint directly.
you can polish the clearcoat tho if you have laid one down.
get a nice set of sanding cloths: 4000-12000 grit.
I try to use only 6000 and above to get rid of orange peel. i usually wet sand to save wear on the sanding cloths.
after you sand with the 12000 grit, you will have a decent shine already, but then you start with the waxes. there is a 4 step process that well worth the money that you spend on the wax.
1. use Meguiars #2 - it is a fine scratch remover
2. use Meguiars #9 - swirl remover
3. use Meguiars #7 - polishing wax
4. finish with Meguiars #26 - liquid not paste
this works great with lacquers too.
