Well at least he can't be accused of loafing around.

I just can't see where this thread is going? Someone needs to focus on the key issue, shine light on the subject?

The rules on hazing are a bit foggy.

Well there will always be some half baked ideas but we usually rise to the occasion.

I can see a small grain of truth behind your suggestion. Sowing this seed may reap benefits. Let it grind..

Well we will have to sift through the mix for a bit but if we let it set for 15 to 20 minutes it just may pan out.

Big hopes that it'll rise to the occasion. I just hope it doesn't sour.

Again, this is two winters of graveled roads. This year was really mild, last year was bad. Mine were worse then the OP's. Sanded 400 grit, sprayed with two coats of clear while we were painting another car in the shop. They would have turned out better if I had taken the time to prep them more and use 600 or 800.

400 Grit!

Yeah, wow! That is course. I started with 600 on my truck, and it was hard to get those scratches out. Went up to 2000 grit and then polish. My FR-S used just polish to get the haze off. I have polished them 2 times now in 5.5 years of ownership. No big deal.
