[QUOTE="Savant, post: 190501, member: 546108"] First, depending on the size of the cracks, I'd say use resin to fill them (maybe even a little glass if big enough).. Second, you want ~400+ grit (IIRC.. up to 800 IIRC for the final 2 coats) for wet sanding.. it's almost like buffing.. but with a bit more 'umph' than just cloth.. but not much.. type would be something that isn't gonna leave a lot of 'grit' behind.. can't recall the kind at the moment.. sorry.. you can probally find out at Home Depot or your local hobby shop/auto shop/or hardware store.. for when to wet sand.. the smoother the 'full' thing, the deeper the final sheen can be.. If you sand betwen coats with like 200+ grit until the last 4 coats, then switch to wet with 400 for 2, then maybe 600 for one or two, then 800 for one or two, then 'gloss' it, you should have a nice deep shine...
