Always raise the bonnet first!! Save on tape and time!! You didn't mention which kit? The tape again looked thin and scippy,I dont favour wet sanding its messy and time consuming, A cordless drill with variable speed works far better, As water acts like a lubricant and slows down surface removal, An acceptable result well at least it wont fell its next MOT!!!
Good point with the bonnet, didn’t even cross my mind at the time. The kit was a no-name one from eBay but I would like to try a decent branded one some time. When I did the headlights one of my old Clio’s I actually removed them from the car, dry sanded and then spent some time on them with my da polisher and they came up like new
