Gah, ok so I just wetsanded this area on my hood with 2000 unigrit sangpaper that I bought from Autozone. I thought that my Edge Yellow pad and my Optimum Compound would be able to remove the wetsand marks but the marks will NOT budge! I have wetsanded before, and I was able to remove the marks from a different car, but on my Acura RSX, the marks will NOT remove... What is going on?

I'm really not that much of an expert on wetsanding, but why don't you step up to 2500 or 3000 grit??? Be careful though, don't take off too much clear :nervous2:
I'd finish with a lighter grit paper and go in the opposite direction. When I finished in 2000 grit on my Talon I followed with HTHC and it removed about 90% of the marks. I didn't have HTEC at the time so I jumped to 3000 and then the marks were easily removed. This was on a repaint though so there was plenty of clear (and orange peel).

Where are you in FL? If you can drop by my place in Palm Bay, I can knock it out in 5-10 minutes. No charge.
