   You can also use a contrasting colored paint in place of graphite powder. It is called a guide coat, graphite powder is just the type of guide coat used here.

   It is 3M graphite powder. It is used to help identify high or low spots while block sanding. If the powder remains on the surface when blocking it tells you there is a low spot because your block isn’t allowing your paper to hit it, so you know that you need to continue leveling the area.

   It can also be used to help when switching to a higher grit. if you apply it over 320 scratches and you want to refine up to 500-600, you will know the 320 is gone once the guide coats off.

   whats the majic black dusty stuff?
   what brand is it. Is it a grit or a
   chalk to show the scratches.
   this is the best video I have seen on
   this kind of repair.

   Thanks for the suggestion, just added some pop ups showing the grit I’m using. If you watch it again it should be displayed.

    Good video, but listing the sandpaper grits would make it even better.
