I have tested numerous times and now have damp sanding kits available in 3 , 5, 6 inch discs for da sanding on my website djpavlica.com in stock and ready to ship. An entire 3M system. No rookie here.

Looking great . As an FYI next week I am trying out two bags and going to have one embroidered with my logo. Can't wait

Learning something new every day. I have finished my damp sanding test and have some pretty interesting 'finds'. One thing that helps a ton is using a interface pad with holes. The holes help reduce heat and also to have a thick back up pad with holes as well. Great comments on Trizact. Great...

What is the best way to remove what appears to be glue on the rim.

Looks interesting and something I should look into. What I have been doing is letting the foam pads soak in dish water temperature in the sink for a few minutes then use dish water soap ( a drop ) then gently massage throughout the pad, then rinse in clear water. Run the clean pad on the buffer...

Looks like this was done via hand sanding. If that's the method it also appears that there was no support between your fingers and the sandpaper. 3M makes rubber squeegees that will make the sanding more consistent. Was the wet sanding done with 3M WETORDRY paper ? Also when buffing you don't...

Of course I would !

Great video.... learning something new every day.

I have a customer who seems to be satisfied but I am not. I had no idea that it was ink when I started with all purpose cleaner. The large M&M size drop had hardened right in the bottom corner pocket and it was hard as a pebble. 5+ different products were used. I even tried a small screwdriver...

I obviously meant filtered water rathe than IPA. My apologies.

I see that this is about a year old and having called in paint shops at most of the US and Canada AOEM and their tiers for over 35 years ( while at 3M ) we forever worked with air only and sanders only with soft interface pads. 10,000 rpm with 3/16 orbit. Also just a drop of soap is all that is...

Very interesting. Great observation and wonder how this compares to the Flex light I use ?

Great test... I like data... it really did get through the clear which is what I suspected.

Now that my curiosity is up I am going to test both on a factory clear , measure RA and RMS. Using AO and SC. Ill look in my bag tomorrow and start the tests later this week. Ill keep you posted. Also the data supports my above claim that it could eat through the clear and it did.

Thanks for the info. The details about a 5MM orbit being closer to 3/16 " make sense now. I stand corrected. Like a plumber who cant fix a leak ! I still would encourage a soft interface pad. I learn something every day !

Mike.. if you have a proflomiter handy I would like to see the results of depth of scratch with such and aggressive orbit and pad.Then follow with a finer grade. Measure again but this time get the RMS. My guess is that the scratch would be easier to pull out with the proper 3" DA with a soft...

With the stroke and orbit of a 3" polisher and trying to damp sand was surprising. Buffers are meant to buff and random orbital sanders to sand or mirror buff. To sand properly with a 3" sander what is needed is a 10,000 rpm sander with a 3/16 orbit tops. Also a soft interface pad. Wet Sanding...

Ok..and thanks... what is umbrella that you are referring to...
