Entering the cut and buff stage. Wet sanding ...no worries got that under control. The buffing portion is what I am looking for clarity on. There are different web write ups that i have found butnone that i have seen that say start with this compound move to this one and finish with that one. I ve found use heavy then medium then light which i understand but no one says a brand and number.
I have a bottle of 3M brand compound number 05954. I believe its the heavy but I am not sure where to go from there. Could use help with the rest and in order of their use.
So I look to you stangnet painters for your wealth of knowledge.
Not afraid to do this job either. I figure whats the worst that could happen. I reshoot the car?

Thanks in advance
