guess who wrote:Getting through the original Honda finish can be a right git. I had to go down to about a 200 grit from memory. Patience definitely is a virtue in this case.
You arn't kidding!
I stupidly started off with 2000's wet and dry. After 2 sheets i went down to 1500, then to 800, then 600 and eventually i went to 240 wet and dry then went over it again with 2000's.
Took me bleeding ages!! looks good though, just got to do the other side now:( haha.

I'd recommend running up the grades as you go to get the best possible finish.
From memory, I moved onto a 600, 800, 1200, 1500, 2000, then finished with Autosol and then Belgom Alu.
Everyone thought I'd chromed my frame in the end...
