the grease and wax remover? On the final coat of clear you can add more reducer to thin out the clear and get a smoother coat, but I plan on wet sanding the piss out of it with the 2000 grit then using the polishing pad.

Im going to be a picture whore, Ill make a journal. Sad thing is this is going to be a multi-year project. Year 1 is Outside, Year 2 is Audio/Interior, Year 3 will be the swap assuming I've collected everything.
