ive used the 3m stuff for dry sanding, i used it mainly for taking orange peel down on clearcoat jobs prior to a blend/paint job or to take any peel off before polishing



what tips do you need?? keep it clean, stay away from edges , dont go mad with it

tips i need rpms-let the da do the work or do you press down a little- arm speed-a good da to buy for the job. this system seem to be a wet one. so 3-m has a system too and its dry? thanx for any help:bounce :confused:

I think the 4* abrasive gel that Danase sells would work well with that type of system. I`ve wondered about wetsanding with the PC and Mirka Abralon papers. Anyone ever try that?

okay as for machine speed..fairly low id say 2 out of 10 on a speed scale



no arm pressure, just enough to suport the machine...a gentle pass should remove any peel easily..check your work often mistakes happen fast



btw...what are you doing or planning to do?



wannafbody...ive used the abralon 2000 foam backed discs wet



edit oh yeah the 3m kit we have came with a interface pad..its a thin foam pad that fits between the backing plate and the paper disc, its pretty important to use that to help avoid any damage
