I've color sanded the trunk lid on my 1985 black car then buffed out the scratches removing just a slight amount of paint. It turned out excellent. My brother took paint off some of the edges with a big buffer using by using wrong the wrong technique on that same car.

Before I removed my pinstripes and ended up with that little ridge, my game plan was to do this:

This is still my plan but I'm assuming I should first try to smooth out that little ridge before moving forward with the 4 step process mentioned in the article above.
Since your suggestion is to try the buffer first, which I agree with... do you have a suggestion regarding which product to use when using the buffer to remove the ridge?
