And the paper aint cheap. What is the best method to get this crud off? maybe go down to 500 or 800 first? Maybe the mothers power ball? i have seen good stuff from that. Whats a good routine. It's a really weathered tranny. I want it SHINY!!! Notice this is all hand done.

thanks!

lower the grit, the longer it'll last
The wetter it is the longer it will last. Sandpaper that is made for wet sanding won't last long dry
