I currently have my arches and sideskirts and rear bumper blended into the bodywork. Allthough it looks very nice it has become tatty and started cracking after driving it for a year. I want to san the filler and fibre glass of etc so that i can start again without smoothing the bodykit in.
Please could people give me advice on what grade sand paper to use and what tools and the steps i should do the work in, in order to get the bodywork prepared for the body kit to be re-fitted and sprayed again.

Any help and advice would be most appreciated.
