    357 and smooth cut

    well i had some free time today and have been thinking aout going back to the good old 849 and letting the PC do all the LSP work. so i graed a junk hood from the dumpster and pulled out my compounds/polishes that did not work well with the PC. i noticed one of the compounds (Magnum 357) said it would take out 800 grit. so guess what. i got some 800 grit and played. i know these are not Autopia sold products(sorry) but just wanted to try something we dont see all the time on here.


    here is the disc


    the hood before



    play area sanded with 800 grit



    after Edge 2k Green light cut pad(not good enough)




    after Megs heavy cut foam pad



    after LC grey finishing pad and Smooth Cut




    close up with flash only




    now i know it is not perfect. for one the PC backing plate was to small for the sanding disc so there are some sanding pig tails still there. but personally i thought it did a good job considering thie was 800 grit. looking it over the only thing i see are the pig tails from sanding.

    after Megs Soft Buff heavy cut foam

    Wouldn`t have thought you could get that correction level with a foam pad. Very cool.

    That is some serious cut. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice. I`ve cut 800 scratches out plenty of times, but never with foam. That must be some serious compound.
