Oh yeah btw, if you're sanding and you should, don't be tempted to skip steps in the grit process. 220 removes 180 swirls but will take a heck of a lot of sanding to remove 120 swirls if it happens at all. Go through each step to gradually reduce the swirls to nothing.

Same thing with the steel wool btw, don't expect 0000 steel wool to take out the swirls from 60 grit sandpaper, ain't gonna happen.
