    Just finished my first wet sand - ever. Any suggestions?

    So I have never used a wool pad. I do have a purple one. Is the process the same as it is for the foam pads regarding application of compound, passes etc?

    Just finished my first wet sand - ever. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Mike and Edwin. I did in fact order a 3" backing pad for my PC with the 3inch denim pads. Guess I should have got some sanding discs too! Easy enough to grab those. If the PC proves to be to wieldly for the job I will check out Griot's Garage 3" Mini Polisher. I've seen you mention that...

    Just finished my first wet sand - ever. Any suggestions?

    Well, for my first time ever I'd say it went exceptionally well! I could have done a tad more with the 2000 grit probably to get out a few deeper 1500 scratches. Keep in mind these panels are just thin wood (2x4 sheet cut into smaller 12x12" panels). I scuffed the paint (it was pre painted...

    Need help picking a backing plate

    I just looked at some stuff I need to work on and for the engine cover and fuse box cover a 3" would ideal. Will the 3M 3 inch disc fit the Flex (or 7424XP)? The LC interchangeable only goes down to 4". I like the idea of trying Denim. I saw some thread about it leveling OP somewhere on here...

    change my pad or polish? and test panel questions - new here.

    Thanks again - yeah, one step on my black ride seems unlikely. I am getting the Flex 3401 as I am done with the 7424XP. Too slow for me and I am confident enough now to roll with the Flex and not destroy my paint. Wish I would have bought something more aggressive the first time around but I was...

    change my pad or polish? and test panel questions - new here.

    Thanks! - So, you're suggesting that if I feel the need to go to a more aggressive compound from the SF1500 to try it with a less aggressive pad first? - In the grand scheme of things, is going to a more aggressive pad (white to orange) more of less aggressive of a step than using the same pad...

    change my pad or polish? and test panel questions - new here.

    So I have been using PC 7424XP with Menzera products and CSS pads. Feeling I could get better and faster results I am ordering the Flex 3401 and some new pads. I think with the PC and just in general I was not letting the Menzerna products breakdown enough to get the best out of them. I have...
