Sanding grits
I always start at 1000 then move to no more than 2000 ... any past that is too thin , and is designed for aluminum and stainless scratch removal that you'd then follow with Jewlers rouge and a super high speed buffer ( see Polished Aluminum AC Cobra in one of my previous posts). Starting at 1000 would eliminate the scratches pretty quickly, anything lighter than that would one take forever and two not take down the deep scratches that SiSam posted, unless you wanted to take a couple days or a week to sand them....I personally don't have the time to take that long. I need to get in there sand them out, resand with a lighter grit if need be and compound and buff and be on my way. Remember I do this as a mobile service and unless I'm detailing a motorcoach or a big boat, I don't like to spend more than a day for the whole job. doing it with lighter paper, would just take too long.
