Has anyone used the micro-mesh kits?


Not for 3 whole days now (helped a friend who dinged his canopy)...

A canopy is very expensive.
Before you potentially make it worse, do yourself a favor:
Find someone local and EXPERIENCED to help you with this.
Its not rocket science, but its also really easy to make a big mess,
with flat spots, scratches remaining, etc.

I would not use anything coarser than 800.
It won't take any more time than you'll spend removing scratches
from coarser grits (plexi is soft), and rather less risky.

Sand wet.

I use a combination:

1) Wet papers from a MicroMesh kit.

2) Polish using this one:

Good luck!
