hope you didn't wetsand too much, I've never buffed a rattlecan job before, but....You'll want a wool pad with rubbing compound, followed by a foam pad with a polishing compound.

No worries man, I did the same thing to mine. I wetsanded the hell out of it though, that's the most important part. Then I used Meguiars Ultimate Compound on a wool pad, then used the finishing glaze on a soft foam pad to finish. Then and enjoy
