I have a few things I'm going to correct with a nib file... My stupid water separator dripped water from it on the hood!Frickin' sweet!!! Yeah, I would use a DA polisher... the one I have is a corded electric one from Harbor Freight. It is one of the rare HF gems that works really well. You can get various foam pads for it (or swap out the velcro backing pad for an adhesive style one.) You can also get what's called an interface pad, it is basically a piece of foam that's about 1/2" thick that goes between the velcro backing pad and your sandpaper - commonly used for Trizact pads, it gives you some cushion for contours on the body and helps prevent sanding through on body lines.
I would be really tempted to try hitting it with rubbing compound on a foam pad first, and then a polishing compound, and then wax. Try that on a small area first before you sand it and see if you are happy with the results.
Anyhow, very small things and a few bugs that decided to show up.
I might wait on the rest and just hit problem areas with 2000 grit. You're right, might not have to do a lot other than polish.
I actually ordered a DA polisher from Max Shine - saw a YouTube video about them that had a discount code. For the DA, 3 pads, and 2 towels it was $76 shipped. Figured that was as good a deal as any.
BTW, that astro paint gun is sweet. Super easy to clean and well made. I felt like it was well worth the price tag.
