    Anybody use 2000 grit on the D/A ?

    Risk? How? Just lower your speed.. as for the marks keep plenty of water so that your paper stays cleaner longer ... a rotary is the best way to do a vehicle right if it were me I'd be compound wool pad then compound fine foam pad then take a makita bo6040 and finish it off with a fine pad...

    I would choose Norton 2000 with a soft block and a spray bottle with water and a drop of dish soap to keep it clean then just polish it with a rotory ,but that's me..if you insist on a da again wet use Norton 6in 1500 grit and follow that with Norton 3000 grit keep on mind compare to 3m...

    Going from DA to rotary. Any safe approach ?

    just start out slow,dont press down let the weight of the machine do most of the work on top panels then eventually light to moderate pressure with the pad running off any edges not against them ...
