Now,I've heard this before but I'm confused..do I just lightly go over the whole car like as if I was washing it with a mit? Or do I gotta get deep with it and really pay attention to what I'm doing? Like pay more attention to other areas? Can I hurt the paint wet sanding in anyway?? Thanks for the help bud

U don't wanna use 1200,use 2000 or 2500,all u want to do is expose new clearcoat,and buff with rubbing compound at a slow speed,and then u wanna glaze it or seal it,and some wax to top it off helps too,but I would get a clay bar,not mother those sux,the actual brand of clay bar,wash it,then use the clay bar,than wet sand and buff

+1... 1200 is way to rough

It's sorta lame but I've used Ajax with water and a mitt to clean minor problems with paint but after wash it again. First do a little spot and see if it works it's like fine sand paper but cheaper.
