Again I was looking threw some of the Training video’s today and watched the one on the Perfect it Polishing well any one using the system as they show in the video?
It Looks cool I see the benifits of each step.
Just wondering if any one was using it as they show it being used?Link?
Its on this web sights training page under 3M left Coulomb bottom

3M wetsanding discs seem to be great stuff with lots of good reviews, but their compounds/pads/polishes are kinda pricey.
There are other buffing systems that work great with half of the price.
Thats not what I asked
So far been able to do this what I have of the system

I wanna try the full on deal though Its has a few more steps to it that I haven’t been able to purchase yet.
Very few use the whole system as it was designed to be used from what I am finding out, I think it will be an easy to use system once you have all the products for a show winning finish though.Boy did we make a mess of the car with this stuff, of course every one had to try it even the owner who has never been able to polish before without buffing threw the clear or burning it. Simple and easy to use, Even for me a Wool lover.
I always hated foam before trying this stuff.i have used the trizact an its okay i still use that meguires unigrit 2000 on any thing nice though

Don’t be afraid of foam pads! A good black foam can out cut a wool pad but make sure its got PLENTY of compound, because the foam pads get so hot if they start to dry out; then you start burning through! I am with bondo on this though, his meguiars is worlds ahead of 3m sandpaper (for wetsanding at the least). I usually go from 1000-1500 and finish out with meguiars 2000[b]bondo jr wrote:[/b]

Heh…no not that black foam pad ding… I did see that video though and can’t say I was too impressed 😆 The black foam I use is 1 step more agressive than the yellow foam. But I don’t use 3m pads much so I guess I should have told you I was using the Malco/Ardex buffing system instead![b]ding wrote:[/b]

I did use the 3M system for quite a while, i’m onto the presta stuff nowadays. We still have the 3M system as another guy here uses it (the totally wrong way btw…takes him 3 times as long) I still use it from time to time, usually on parts with alot of turns as I find the foam a lot less likely to burn an edge.
This is how I would typically polish with it:
Finish with 3000 trizact discs
white waffle pad w/ extra cut
white wafflepad w/ rubbing compound
black wafflepad w/ swirl removeron higher end jobs or darker finishes I would also use the blue pad with the ultrafina. I’ve heard some professional detailers / polishers say that they would finish using the ultrafina regardless of what system they were using.

You go straight from the rubbing compound to the swirl remover?sure, sometimes I’ll even go straight from the extra cut to swirl remover……..
(where talking 3M perfect it rubbing compound # 05973, not to be confused with superduty rubbing compound)
Here’s a vid of me polishing with 3M stuff, the quality’s not the greatest:
