I never thought about the 1500 and 2000 grit in different directions. In the first pictures I did them all one way. The last set of pictures I lightly used the sandpaper to create swirls because I didn't know how else to do so.

I'm going to have to subscribe to this thread. It's rather informative. Have you thought about taking some wet leaves to the hood and letting them sit there for a while? I have a friend who's car was left to sit outside under a tree while some performance upgrades were being done and I need to know how to fix the defects that are now in the paint.

Sorry but I ran out of ideas and returned the hood before your post. I will definitely keep this test in mind for future tests. Glad the post was useful for you and others
