Will still require more work but we are trying to get it to an acceptable level first

I think we have arrived at the problem. There are different depths within the same panel as though the panel has been painted in 1 coat then another coat added but not to the whole panel. I am getting readings of 380 microns down to 160 on the same panel

Try using a clay mitt lots easier for beginners but I still use lube even though they say u don't really need too.
Hope that helps.
