We use the 3-M system. Started with 1500-2000-3000-5000 then the white compound with the white pad, then gray glaze with the grey pad, and them the blue finishing glaze with the blue foam pad.
 
Looks pretty Nice! Let me know when I can bring mine over. Since its the same process and its not the "long jeep" should only take half the time, right? :) Things always go faster the second time you do it.

Most folks don't realize the amount of labor taking a clearcoat from 1200 grit to mirror. Its a buttload of work jeeples!

Made a little headway today. Starting to get my basement cleared out of jeep parts. Waiting on the big brown truck to drop off some more parts,and the sliders to get back from powder coat. If all goes well I will have it together over the weekend. If not My wife might be filing for a divorce!

And I had a oh f&@k moment today! Bought a used gate off a 2000 to get rid of the vent in the back and apparently the lock cylinder is smaller! The 04 one doesn’t fit. Now I have to come up with a fix for that.
 
Just beautiful!

What door handles did you go with and how's the quality?
