Hello. I just finished my final clearcoat on my first refinish job. I'm going to wait a few days, then do the finish sanding and polishing. I wasn't able to find the polish that was mentioned in ReRanch's article (Finesse It II, I believe it's called), so I got an auto polish called Meguiar's Deep Crystal System Polish. Does anyone have any idea if something like this will work? A few of the polishes available said not to use over laquer, so I stayed away from them, but this seems to be a pretty straight forward polish.
Also, this seems like a silly question, but when I'm doing my final block sanding, is it proper to sand in random circles as if I was buffing it, or should I sand in one direction?
And finally, in a somewhat unrelated topic - I recently bought a new pickguard that has alot of the routing scratches showing from where the pickup holes were cut out (a very sketchy job). Is there any way to kind of smooth those out, possibly by fine sanding? I know it's plastic, but I didn't know if maybe there was a secret to it.
Thanks for any help.
Dave
