Way to much time, wet sanded with 1200 and buffed, holy **** left more scratches them I can count, bought 1500 and 3000 3m discs, 150 bucks holy ****!!
sanded again and buffed, still have a few more scratches but will worry about them in spring, its one big learning curve from someone who shot old school paint 15 years ago
lets put the car back together ,lts just compounded and buffed with glaze, will some polish help ?

Yea the finer discs start getting really expensive. As well as good compounds.
Some of the finer polish is the meguiars ultimate polish.
Use that on a black finish foam pad.
Meguiars makes a good swirl remover too which will take any scratches left behind.
