i totally feel you. i don't think you should cut against the grain. go with the grain, or pattern. and mothers polish or the white rough. caswell sells other that doesn't have any cutting action but the white does. i dont' think you should go black compound after you finish the 800. go with tropili after the 800 and then white and then the no cutting action. for got the color. its under the buffing section.
