best grade of wet and dry

alright people

im planning on buffing the nova with some g3 and an orbital buff i have just aquired.

out of curiosity i want to give the paintwork a little quick rub over with wet and dry just to hopefully get rid of some small blemishes, whats the best grade to use on it, ive got a whack of 1200 grit sitting in the garage

I would say 3000 would be your best bet or even 2000

agree with above, between 2-3k grit would be your best bet

i take it im best to use the 2000 grit then and just give it a quick rub over with it, just enough to take out any small bits that annoy me. then give it the blast with the G3 on the orbital buff
