great DIY
just wondering about the cutting part. Are you just using a standard applicator pad? back and forth motion?

[tiksie]

I personally used a woolf buffing pad with a orbital buffer, but to save costs, you can do this by hand with as you said, a standard applicator pad.

It would be best to do it in circular motions to get more area.

great write up mate, just wondering where did u get those sandpapers? bunnings doesn't seem to stock those grits you mentioned

[mikey72]

you can get all those products from supercheap

[tiksie]

I got them from VG Auto Paints.

Google it! (In Sydney)

I suggest getting all of it from VG Auto Paints (if you are close to it ofcourse) as they focus on paints.
