take some 1000 wetsand, then 1500 wetsand followed by some hand polish, standback and watch the gleam (and it will get rid of any imperfections you might have done, dust etc)

Question tho, after giving substantial time for the clear to dry, about 5 days, I tried wetsanding with 2000grit... I basically took off the clear, down to a dull, no gloss finish. I tried using Maguires (auto wax) to buff it out, but no dice.
What exactly do you recommend (Z1) for a "hand polish" to turn the dull, into a nice gloss after the sand?
Thanks in Advance!

Wax won't do it - all wax essentially does it form a barrier against the elements

thanks guys.. I still didn't wet sand it yet.. lazy..I'll get around to it maybe this weekend... I did paint the ring around the sub with the same stuff though.. I think it pulls everything together better
(I labeled stuff so my PM's don't fill up again)
sorry man.. i thought you knew to use polishing compound.. not wax.. well wax afterwards..
