Better than factory because it removes orange peel too!
Tips, avoid edges, and use a sanding block!

i thought about doing the same thing for my little chips from rocks and stuff but won't that kill the clear coat?[/QUOTE]
If your wet sanding clear coat, the water will be milky white as you sand, if the water turns the color of your car, you have gone too far.
If you dont go through the clear, it should be safe. Just gotta be cool about it, exspecially around ridges and edges, I still have a hard time with those. Its always, "just a little more" and then Color comes through. So carefull. Might want to find a old fender, kids wagon, lawnmower ect and pratice on first. It does take a little pratice and finness.
