I don't know at what grade sandpaper he finished. I recall stopping by one day and he was using the 3500 grit so with the deep mirror finish I have on my truck, I suspect that he did use the 5000 to finish.
I suspect that detail shops in your neck of the woods are significantly different than those in mine. Plus, we have quite a few small paint and body shops around here that would do finish buffing for cars like Lupe's. Just a difference in local reference I suspect. And I absolutely do not think you are trying to pick a fight fight. We're just trading opinions and recommendations, yours with obviously much more background than mine.
No problem brother, I just wanted to make sure you knew I wouldn't inadvertently spew out "fake news"
