The Clueless German got herself a GR-1SF kit

Mh, you are probably right. But, being objective, and not from a perfectionist's eyes, there are quite a few dimples and dips in the top coat right now. How would I proceed here best? Is it the best to FILL these or sand the rest of it flat? I just don't really know.

I tried to polish it a little, but now it's a mixture of shiny and shitty. If there are tiny dust spots in the coat before polishing, they just become shiny dust spots, they are not polished away. Are you guys using some more aggressive way of polishing? Or what am I doing wrong?

I usually sand everything as flat an perfect as I can, then use Meguiar's cutting compound and then Meguiar's polish. I use a polishing pad that I mount on a drill.

Maybe your eyes are just younger than mine, and all that stuff is there and I can't see it any more... Are you using a sanding block of some kind at the 600 grit stage? I don't see dust spots after that stage. Unless, I suppose, wildly speculating, you have the wrong sort of dust... Ordimary house dust is going to be, well, lets not go into the ghastly details, but mainly stuff that's relatively soft and will sand away readily. I suppose it must theoretically be possibly to have airborne silt particles that would be silica and not be abraded so readily, but dammit, you're not on the edge of the steppes, I don't know why your dust should be worse than mine 750km to the west...
