      Mine, not so good. I have some ripples in the paint even after I have done my final buffing with rubbing compound. It's just not smooth if you know what I mean. There seems to be lots of paint, so maybe I should go back and use the 2000 grit again to try to smooth it out, then rubbing compound, then final wax. Check out the pics.

            2000 grit is way too fine. Get some 400, a spray bottle of water, and go after it. You need to flatten paint out to a smooth level surface before you hit it with fine grit and buff. You can't do that with 2000 grit. At least not in your lifetime.

            That's what you do with a good spray job, I'm assuming you need the same here.
