    Well, Time to get back to my log, it's been a while and I have recently (early December) finished my journey but have lagged behind keeping up with the documentation.

    The four week wait passed really slowly so in the mean time, back to ebay to pick up a sander/polisher. Now that I have a compressor there are no end of air tools to explore.

    I also bought some foam pads and a bunch of sheepskin pads.

    I wet sanded the Nitro by hand with 800, 1500, 2000 and finally 3000 grit paper.

    I then polished using Meguiar's Polishing compound using my air polisher with 2 different grades of foam.
