So this stays on the panel even in the wetsanding stage? I bet it's rough on a black vehicle! Do they make white compressed charcoal (?) Sounds goofy I know but I think I recall seeing it at Hobby Lobby.

Thanks alot! I've still got alot to learn as this is only my third paint job, and the second one I've buffed (one was satin clear on a Jeep). I'm trying to do the best I know how because as you said, every step builds on the last and they've all got to be right for the surface to look good when you're done.

I'm pretty sure there's lighter versions of the charcoal sticks that would work on black or darker paints. Maybe it's made from albino charcoal.
