Ruhroh, I also did the sanding by hand, mine wasn't too bad to begin with. But I did use porter cable with light cutting pad for the rubbing compound, then switched to lighter pad for Meguires Plastix polisher. I can tell the difference after using the potter cable. Unfortunately, the plastix did not give me the result i was looking for. it was just a tad more polished, but i wanted the new plastic effect/look like Sunny's. So now im going to use the urethane.

Will post pics soon.
That should work. I would recommend a little bit on the thinner side so a mixture of 60/40 (mineral spirits / urethane). This mixture is easier to apply and smooths out better. I would also recommend multiple applications.

You'll be very pleased with the results. They'll be noticeable from the very first application. I couldn't believe the difference.
