airbrush1, your info is good.
They should follow what you have put down.
The way I did it was a little different
1 electric hand drill
Flap wheels 300 - 400 - 600 grit
Scotch Pads
Buffing wheels coarse (jute - sisal) to fine (cotton)
Buffing compounds (tripoli to jeweler rouge)
Sandpaper/ emery paper 600 to 1200 grit.
This is not recommended for the average person, but it is fast.
I call 400 grit sandpaper 'coarse' and fine only starts at 1000 grit.
As you can tell I am not a 'body guy'. I did spend a few years polish acrylics (incl black) when working in the fiberglass industry.
The taillight on my car where in bad shape and now they look better than new.
A few hints to anyone doing this
- take your time (you can do one lens at a time/day)
- soft touch
- keep the surface wet
- check you progress often
- if you get tired STOP and do the work latter
