im doin that right now and man it takes forever!! good thing the car aint running right now so i got time to do them. i still have like 3 more fases to go through b4 polish but its lookin good. the guy on clubcivic didnt go deep enough with 320 grit to get all the scratches out thats why i think it looks crappy. he went from 320 to 600 then 800. he skipped alot of grits
