this what happen...the hood was beat/done clear coat is almost not there anymore...

1st. i wet sand the hood w/600 then 1000 grip.

2nd. 3M compound
3rd. mother polish
4th. some kind of liquid wax
5th. paul's professional QD


is REAL smooth...but not so BLING... is shiny but i want BLING BLING..


im wondering can i still repolish it after 4 n 5th step was done???

what else can i do to it???
 
If I were wet sanding, I would follow the 1000 with 2000 then 2500 or 3000 grit for a finer finish, which will require a lighter compound to remove the scratches.

After sanding I would:
1.Wash vehicle
2. Fine cut compound with a cutting pad
3. Polish (such as ssr 2.5, dacp, FI II)with a polishing pad
4. SMR (such as PI-III MG, #80, #82)with polishing or finishing pad
5. Wax or sealant

You can repolish, but you'll have to apply your LSP. The polishing will remove the LSP. 1000 is pretty coarse to end on, you must have been working with the 3M compound for a while.
 
Last Step Product.

I don't know where the list of all the abbreviations that we use is but perhaps someone would be kind enough to do so.

You would polish then you an SMR??
I'm a little confuised with that step..
I thought you would use an SMR after your fine cut or compound..
Then you would polish the cleaned 'removed swirl' surface..no?
And why would you use SSr2.5 as a polish?? When it's a fine leveling compound?
You can use it with a polishing pad yes...but aren't you skipping a step...with not putting a polish like PBPP on there before wax?
Thanks..
