sanding buffing new paint which materials and way

I am looking for something new besides the expensive 3m stuff everyone is use to. Here are 2 ways some people wetsand and or sand and buff. We in the bodyshop trade are not as professional as most of you so this is why I am asking you.

One way guys sand and buff is with 1500 grit then they use heavier cut compond then polish. Is there a better way ? what pads and compound do you requiment for this?


second way is I have some uys useing the eagle stuff and can go up to 2500-3000 grit before polishing or light compound. Which pads and polish and or compound do you recommend when doing it this way??

What about system one? solo?

Again both ways will be with fresh paint.

Thanks for all the help ahead of time. After reading this like I said you guys make uu body and paint guys look like fools buffing.

wow wasnt promoting it at all i didnt even list a name of it or website. Just said what i did and why i was asking questions. I am looking to buy products from your suppliers here if you re read my question.

 

any input on different products?

 

Well, I'm not a pro. I did however work on a key job on my black car. I touched
up the marks that ran down the entire side of the car with Duplicolor touch up. I wet sanded by hand
with 3M sandpaper 2000 grit. I then used Megs 105 using a Flex 3401 and LC White pad. It came
out great. To get it even better, I played with Menz Micro Polish and 3M Ultrafina. I got the
same great results with either. I used a LC Blue pad with the Menz and 3M.

 

thanksI have read aboutmegs 105 alot on here so is that a compound that removes 2000 grit up scratches or will it remove 1500? Is a flex 3401 a foam pad?

thanks

 

The Flex 3401 is a true DA buffer. 105 is a compound that will remove 1500 grit
scratches/marks.
