wet sanding / buffing

So after 1500, 2500 or 3000 will make buffing noticeably easier?
I've done a bunch of research but it's not the same as doing it
...i'll work away at it over the next few days..this is supposed to be fun.
...i'm open to any tips...

Snake..you're on your own,but i'll supervise when i'm done if you like.. lol!

Don't you just hate those guys that come over after your finished
and say "well,you know what you should have done"
