Hmmm...I'm following this thread too. As I play around with the M3 I'm doing many, many passes with the H-T EC/orange or yellow/1500 or higher/some pressure. And when I say "many, many passes" I don't mean just five or six! I hardly ever do something this bad, and I'm gonna end up having it painted anyhow, but *MAN* is it frustrating to spend literally hours with even the rotary. Gives me a whole new appreciation for what the Pros on these boards have to do all the time.

I'll bet some 4000 grit sandpaper would clear that BMW up real nice. Just enough to knock down the surface a bit.

Is 2000 too aggressive to use by hand?

What do you mean "by hand"? Actually sanding with your bare hand and not with the help of a sanding block? Or something else? I wouldn't think about using 2000 or 3000 on that vehicle with that type/degree of problem.
 
Heh heh, seems like *everybody* thinks I oughta wetsand the M3! My painter (who wonders why I'm doing anything at all since he's gonna be reshooting it) has seen it and thinks I oughta use *1500* :eek: on it for the first passes! I might play around a little, I have 2-3-and 4000 grit, but only the 3K is my preferred Unigrit stuff.

Thanks-I'll just use some HTEC and live with what I can't get out.
