<div><span>Hi Keith,</span></div>
<div><span>On windows that were just lightly scratched, I sanded with 600 grit with water then 1500 grit. It only took two sanding steps. When there were deeper scratches, I wet sanded with 400 grit then 600, and finished with 1500 grit. When I had to remove gouges that you would think impossible, I started with 220 grit and then 400 then 600 and finished with 1500 grit and always wet of coarse. I polished with 3M 05937 compound in one step with a very smooth pad. I started polishing with a more coarse compound but found the fine stuff worked in one step. I polished the windows in a fixture so they did not move around and I could flip the windows over quickly and often to avoid building up heat. The windows
stayed cool with no trouble. </span></div>

What grit and method of sanding an polishing did you use on the windows? If you could do a quick tutorial,I at the very least, would
find it very helpful.<br clear="none" />

<div>Today I sanded and polished the windows for Gamma. I ended up doing it myself because my guy is busy. It work out great and I am surprised how easy and fast it went. I even managed to remove some gouges about .040 deep.</div>
<div>The sub was painted yesterday and will be dive ready by the end of the week. </div>
