: Automotive clear works fine, not real easy to use since it has no
: color it's hard to see what's painted and what's not. Good
: lights make all the difference since you can see the sheen of
: the wet clear vs. the dry unpainted sections.

: Like all sprayed surfaces it tends to orange peel, so for a really
: perfect finish it needs to be color sanded and polished when
: it's done.

I have improved lighting as of today. What is color sanding and how should I polish it? I used to polish dad's shoes a lot when I was a wee lad.
