    Porter Cable/Trizact Sanding Stripes

    Hi All,

    Some quick background. I'm restoring a '68 Firebird and it was painted about 6 months ago (BC/CC). I'm totally new to wet sanding and picked up a Porter Cable 7424XP and the suite of the the 3M Trizact sanding disks (1500/3000/5000).

    I started with my trunk lid and used the Trizact 1500 sanding disks and they worked awesome. I have basically no orange peels left and the scratches remaining are barely noticeable. What is noticeable are sanding marks that are left behind from the Trizact pads. They basically look like tiger stripes.

    Is it normal to have these marks left behind? Is this something that will buff out? (I also have the Perfect-It compounds #1 and #2)

    I've attached a couple of pics below. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    --Ken
