Well, as promised, here are the pictures showing the progression from the pretty bad looking to much better. Here is what the problem areas looked like BEFORE wetsanding:





Here's what those same areas looked like AFTER wetsanding (mind you, it is NOT showroom quality):





Here's the car after I re-applied VEIL:














I did take a couple of shots early this morning of the original problem areas. Just to warn you, I think I zoomed in too close, hence the flash. These were taken AFTER I re-applied VEIL:





Please LMK what you all think of my work this time. Again, questions, comments and criticisms are welcome. Thanks very much to EVERYONE for their help and tips!

I used 400, 600, and 1000 grit. Would've used 2000 as well, but my pack didn't have it.

That's fine, none taken.

Looks like wetsanding worked very well for you!
