I've sanded down the whole passenger side, the hood, and the tailgate with 1500 grit and I started to polish it but I need a better buffer. The one I was using just doesn't have enough guts to really polish it up. So right now my truck is a nasty flat pink color. Hopefully I will have a new buffer by the end of today or tomorrow.

And yes I know its a pink color. After I sanded everything down it kinda turned from burgundy to pink. Oh well, the girl that bought it said that she really like the color.
