Try M105 with an orange pad sometime, it will clear up 2000 grit no problem.

What are these thread clips called? They go into the square hole around the fender and rear fascia.

Bondo sanding. Made a curved sanding block to match the body. Makes it a little easier.

Sanding bondo. Not much fun. Getting ready to spray some primer too see where I am.working also on sanding headlights. They were really foggy.Quite yellow. A lot of wet sanding later and not too bad.

Bit of whoops on my first blend attempt. Tried wet sanding down the tape line and now have a blurry patch. Colour doesn’t match anyway so will clean off the wax sand it all with 1500 and see if I can match a little better. I think I’ll add more clear also.I’ll tape some raised curved masking also to try and blend the clear in.

You did a pretty good job. You definitely should clear the headlights after wet sanding them. Make sure you use something with uv protection in it.

Is there a special clear for headlights?

Not really sure. Maybe you can inquire at a place that sells body shop supplies? When I used to do them for my business I'd use a 2 part clear that I'd apply with a limitless towel. It had a uv blocker in it. Unfortunately I used to buy it from the trade school I went to, and they rebottled with their own name on it.
