Default removing 2500 wet and dry marks

im going to fill some stonechips then sand with 2500 and 3000 wet and dry but im unsure of what to use to remove the marks left from the paper.
i have no pc so it will be by hand if possible.
thanks in advance.

Menzerna Intensive Polish applied using the white side of a German Pad... plus a lot of elbow grease!

If possible use an even finer W+D paper but I know this can be hard to get hold of in single quantities..then as Rich says a lot of elbow grease, but good luck

Mirka Abralon machine discs come in 4000 grit, and can sometimes be bought in small quantities; I think Jim at Auto Perfection does them.

2000 grit paper would be fine used in a circular motion all u need after that is a small hand held polisher which u can buy from argos or halfords/motorworld which will come with a polish head/pad then some G3 polishing compound. the polisher and compound may come to around £50 but it comes in very handy for even polishing the hole car and brings it up mint, just finish with a little wax for that extra shine.

abralon are great but you really need a machine/DA to get the best out of them.

if u cant get hold of any flatting paper in small amounts let me know il sort u out.
