3M Imperial Compound and Finishing Material ?s

[turbordp2]

So Ive been using the 3M stuff for years, mostly the compound and the Finesse-it II finishing material when I do boats- but I wanna try this stuff to hopefully skip a step on more oxidized boats. I just hate the workout you get from a wool pad, so I was wondering If anyone else uses this stuff and if it really will act as a "All-In-One" so to speak, on gelcoat. Thanks in advance for any help

Not sure I understand the question. Which stuff do you want to try?

3M Imperial Compound and Finishing Material - Pick some up and try it. When you first try it you will think "holy crap I wish I found this sooner". But then when you spray it down with de-greaser to remove the oils you`ll realize it didn`t work as well as you thought. It can "almost" remove 1500 wet sanding scratches. It has a ridiculous amount of oil and fillers in it. The oils are necessary for it to work properly in the sun, but if you don`t remove them with APC or degreaser or dawn they will evaporate in a few days and reveal buffer patterns - hazy oxidized spots - where you didn`t go over it enough. It still has it`s place, just be careful you aren`t over shooting it`s capabilities.
