    Success!

    I made a post a day or 2 ago about using a rotary buffer to remove wet sand scratches because I haven't had much luck using an orbital and Calendyr gave me a procedure to try and I did as close as I could. Today I wet sanded a blob of scratches on an Equinox with 2500 grit and then polished...
