KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 looks good, I would cut back with wet and dry ultrafine using a sanding block with water then use a hand cutting compound with a rag. I have found a elecric buff is just too coarse for a learner like myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
