    I started with 40 on the power sander. I then moved up to dry sanding 100 and 150 by hand. After that i did 320, 600, 1500, and 2000 wed sanding. When i finished with wet sanding i polished with Mothers!

    lol all you had to do was take some 600-800 grit to get the s*** off then hit it up with some 1000 or 2000. Then some steel wool then the polish.

    looks good though. just keep them maintained with some light steel wool and some mothers polish every now and then.

    I'd go to Autozone, spend the $6 on 500* ceramic clear spray paint. Two light coats and one medium-heavy within 10 minutes of each other, let dry for at least 3 hours before driving.
