NO real tricks here.

1. Wet sanded starting with 220, then 400, 800 + 1000. Kept washing and drying regularly to ensure I wasn't cutting too close. 90% of sanding done with 220 grit. About 3 sheets of 220 required. about 2 sheets of each of the other grits.

2. Clear coat. Used BASF DC92 base, DH42 rapid hardener and UR50 reducer (20% for first coat and 30% for second coat; thinner + smoother, but more prone to runs; so have to be real careful).

That's it!! Just about 6 hours total of wet sanding. No power tools even though I have orbital sanders, polishers, etc..... didn't want to chance cutting through cloth.....
