Thanks David, I wish I could have attended. It was a body shop guy that coached me on how to use 3M Extra Cut and Ultrafina SE. I didn`t care for their Swirl Remover (he did however) I always used Menzerna polishes instead. But - I think I can safely say that everybody loves Ultrafina.

I am always here to help people out too.

Do you have a link to those videos?

Yeah , that much splatter is pretty much laughable considering this person is suppose to be showing people how it`s done, maybe there were only body shop workers there so he didn`t want to show them up?

Can you explain the need for additional sanding (2000 > 2500) when the 3000 Trizact system ends up removing the 1500 sand scratches? Seems like alot of in between steps/labor that isn`t needed that could end up removing excess clear. As long as you end up flattening down your primary scratches by finishing with 3000, you won`t need a strong compound anyways. :nixweiss

I think he is explaining on hand use if air is not available to users.

The 3000 Trizact disc does eliminate the need for multiple steps (1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, etc.)

That what make the disc so unique. Even other sanding systems, you sometime still need to climb the ladder to perfection. 3M has eliminated the multiple process and made it simple with a 2 step sanding setup.:xyxthumbs
